PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Conditional Use Pennit PCC-97-40; Request to conduct
church and related activities, including worship and classroom services, for
a temporary period in the existing Boys and Girls Club facilities located at
1301 Oleander, within the R-l (Single Family Residential) zone - San
Diego Church of Christ/Hope for the City
The proposal is to conduct church and related activities at the existing Boys and Girls Club site
located at 1301 Oleander A venue for a temporary period of time not to exceed two years, The
San Diego Church of Christ and Hope for the City, a service group which is comprised of church
members but is a separate entity, have been operating at the site since approximately October of
1996, After receiving complaints in late April 1997 from neighbors regarding parking problems
in the neighborhood related to the church and other activities being conducted at the Boys and
Girls Club, staff contacted the church and advised them that a conditional use pennit was required
in order to operate (the Parks and Recreation Department has been working with the Boys and
Girls Club to resolve other complaints), Although churches are nonnally considered by the
Zoning Administrator, due to the initial concerns voiced by neighbors this application was directed
to the Planning Commission for consideration,
SIGNIF1CANT ISSUES: The primary issue concerning this application is the availability of
adequate parking to accommodate the applicants' needs while avoiding impact on neighboring
residents,
The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-98-08, of possible
environmental impacts associated with this project, and has recommended that the Planning
Commission fmd no significant impacts and adopt the Negative Declaration issued for IS-98-08,
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution PCC-97-40
approving the project in accordance with the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
At its August 21, 1997 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously (7-0)
to recommend approval of a conditional use pennit for the church and service group for a period
of two years,
Page 2, Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
BACKGROUND:
As noted, San Diego Church of Christ and accompanying Hope for the City service group are
already operating at the subject site, initially having apparently been unaware of the CUP
requirement. After being contacted, the church complied with application requirements in a
timely manner. However, numerous discussions were held between staff, church representatives,
Boys & Girls Club representatives, and area neighbors in an attempt to identify issues and possible
solutions prior to proceeding with processing,
DISCUSSION:
Sit", rharact",ristics
The project site is located at the Boys and Girls Club facility located at 1301 Oleander Avenue,
within Greg Rogers Park, Greg Rogers Park itself is comprised of approximately 29 acres; it is
bounded on the north by Rogers Elementary school and on the south by the future extension of
East Palomar Drive, The park abuts Oleander Avenue on the west, and vacant property on the
east (Sunbow II, future single family residences),
The Boys and Girls Club facilities consist of six acres containing an approximately 28,390 sq,ft,
building, easterly-adjacent outdoor dirt play areas, and parking for 93 cars located to the south
and west of the building, These facilities are bordered by natural open space on the south and
park baseball playing fields to the north (at a significantly higher elevation),

Proposa 1
The applicant is proposing to conduct worship services, church and service group meetings, and
teaching and training classes on a temporary basis, While the initial application requested five
years and was subsequently modified to two years by the applicant, staff has advised the applicant
that due to the parking scenario requested the Planning Commission may approve this only as a
temporary, six month use, Since the additional parking is essential to the church congregation,
Page 3, Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
the church has agreed to Planning Commission consideration on a six-month basis, with the ability
to request extensions for up to 18 months and subject to any applicable regulations at the time of
extension, Staff has included language to this effect in the attached resolution,
Specific activities associated with the applicants' operations include worship services on Sundays
from 8:00 a,m, to 2:00 p,m, and 4:00 p,m, to 6:00 p,m" and Wednesdays from 7:00 p,m, to
11:00 p,m, Hope for the City, the service group, conducts meetings, athletic leagues, and classes
on Sundays from 6:00 to 9:00 p,m, and Mondays from 7:00 pm, to 10:00 p,m,
ANALYSIS:
Ac.tivitie~
The following table depicts the church's proposed activities, times, and numbers of people
involved:

aud1281 class
The existing operations are conducted under two separate Facilities Use Permits (one for the
church, one for Hope for the City) with the Boys & Girls Club and will continue as currently
operated with authorization from the Planning Commission, Since all activities take place either
on the weekends or in the evenings, there is no conflict between the applicants' activities and
regular Boys & Girls Club activities, Most operations are conducted entirely within the buildings;
occasional activities such as picnics may be conducted outside, Due to the primarily interior
nature of the services provided and the fact that they do not conflict with or preclude children's
activities, staff does not have any issues with the activities taking place on-site,
P"rkin~
The primary issue associated with the proposed uses is parking availability, As noted, complaints
from neighbors have been received regarding uses at the Boys & Girls Club that create excess
traffic and parking impacts, Specifically, the church worship services, which draws this
proposal's highest attendance, and bingo activities (unrelated to the church) have in the past drawn
large enough numbers of people that the existing paved on-site parking was inadequate and, as a
Page 4, Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
result, neighbors report that cars have ended up in fairly large numbers on both sides of Oleander
Avenue around the Boys & Girls Club facilities,
Parking required for churches is one space per three and one-half seats; based upon the maximum
auditorium occupancy of 795 (as calculated by the Fire Department), 228 on-site parking spaces
are required, Since 93 spaces are existing, 135 additional spaces must be provided, The church
proposes to utilize an existing dirt play area to the east of the building for parking purposes (see
site plan and written parking proposal attached), Parking attendants would be utilized to help
guide members into the dirt area in an orderly fashion, and attendants would also monitor
Oleander Avenue to ensure that church parking does not spill out onto the street and create impacts
for neighboring residents,
The dirt area proposed for parking was originally a turf area; over the past few years, use and
lack of irrigation have created the current condition, This area is large enough to accommodate
the additional spaces required, However, minimum City parking paving standards, adopted by
Planning Commission resolution, require decomposed granite with a surface treatment for
temporary uses (up to one year) (see Parking Regulations attached),
Because of the temporary nature of the proposal, the applicant does not wish to pave the area, and
since it is currently planned that the subject area will be landscaped in approximately two years,
the Parks and Recreation Department also prefers that no paving or similar treatment be utilized,
The Planning Commission does have the authority to waive parking surfacing requirements for
any use deemed as temporary (operating six months or less) in accordance with Zoning Code
Section 19,62,100 (attached); since this CUP is only for a term of six months, it can be approved
with the parking situation as requested,
Staff has already commenced review of the City's parking and paving standards and anticipates
that changes will be made to these regulations; it is possible that these changes may include
modifications to the current definition of temporary use, Should the Planning Commission decide
to waive the paving standard for the six-month period as allowed under current ordinance, the
applicant will be required, with any extension after the six month period, to comply with all
applicable standards, If code amendments have been processed by that time to allow waiver of
paving for extended periods (beyond six months), the applicants will then have the opportunity
to request same. If no changes have been made, the applicants will then have to provide
additional parking or decrease the occupancy to meet parking ratios,
Traffic
The number of people represented by this application is also somewhat an area of concern as it
relates to traffic, The Engineering Traffic Division has noted (as have neighbors) that a large
number of fender benders occur on Oleander around this area, due primarily to the hill on
Oleander Avenue just north of the Club; cars facing south on Oleander, waiting to turn left into
the Boys & Girls Club facilities, are obscured from the view of southbound traffic until just after
Page 5, Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
that traffic has topped the hill and is approaching the entry to the Club, As a solution to this
issue, the Traffic Division is requiring that a two-way left-hand turn lane be incorporated into
Oleander Avenue and that the easterly side of Oleander Avenue be red-striped to accommodate
the turn lane.
Parks & R~~r~ation C:ommission C:onsid~ration
At its August 21, 1997 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the complaint
received by City staff regarding uses at the Boys and Girls Club which were creating on-street
parking impacts; these included the church as well as Bingo activities,
Bingo operations, which have been conducted for many years, bring significant numbers of people
(between 100-300) to the Club, currently twice a week. Since the Bingo activities, as community
and fund-raising activities, are considered a normal accessory use to the Boys and Girls Club, they
fall solely within the purview of the Parks and Recreation Department, After discussion of both
the Bingo and the church activities, the Parks and Recreation Commission determined that both
activities were desirable as community and revenue-generating activities, The Commission
recommended approval of the church conditional use permit for a two year period, and acceptance
of the dirt area for both Bingo and church parking during that two-year period,
CONCLUSION
As noted, staff has no concerns with the group activities taking place on the site, Potential traffic
issues can be addressed through a left hand turn lane on Oleander. This leaves parking as the only
potentially impactive factor associated with this conditional use pennit. On-street parking issues
were initially raised by neighbors and staff found these concerns to be valid,
While some concerns remain regarding proposed parking on the dirt area, the church has in fact
begun using this solution on Sundays (daytime only) and neighbors report that it is successful in
e1inllnating on-street parking problems, The applicant has proposed to install lights on the building
which will sufficiently illuminate the dirt area for night parking, thereby making this area
available during all hours that church activities take place on this site, The Parks and Recreation
Commission endorsed this as an interim parking method,
Since the Planning Commission may authorize this for a six-month period, staff recommends that
the Planning Commission approve the conditional use pennit for a period of six months, which
allows for the waiver of parking paving standards, Staff is in the process of updating the City's
parking standards, and it is staff's intent that during this six month period new standards will be
brought to the Planning Commission and City Council for review, If the new standards include
revisions to the defmition of temporary uses, the applicant will be allowed to request an extension
subject to the new defmition, If new defmitions are not in place, the applicant would be required,
in conjunction with any extension, to meet existing regulations,
Page 6, Item 1
Meeting Date 12/10/97
If during the initial six-month period complaints were received regarding church parking, the
Zoning Administrator could still review the parking situation and possibly require that an
alternative plan be provided or, if no workable solutions are found, that the maximum occupancy
be decreased, Staff finds that in this manner, neighborhood concerns would be addressed while
providing the applicant with a reasonable period in which to seek and identify a pennanent
location, Approval is therefore recommended subject to the conditions listed in the attached
Planning Commission resolution,

The church is a temporary use and has been conditioned to address potential impacts relating to
traffic and parking. The applicants have already taken steps to mitigate past impacts, and previous
complainants now support the approval of the conditional use pennit. The limited duration of the
approval subject to extensions guarantees that the use will be regularly reviewed, thus providing
for early identification of impacts should any arise,

Re: PARKING PLAN for CUP Application (San Diego Church of Christ)
Dear Patty,
Based on your request, I have drafted the following 'Parking Plan" for the intended use
of the Chula Vista Boys & Girls Club by the San Diego Church of Christ.
Parties. The Boys & Girls Club of Chula Vista (Club) has entered into a Facility
Use Agreement with the San Diego Church of Christ (Church) and a separate Facility
Use Agreement with Hope for the City (Hope) for use of it's facilities located at 1301
Oleander Road, Chula Vista.
Usage. The Church uses the facility on Sundays from 8:00am to 2:00pm and
4:00pm to 6:00pm and on Wednesdays from 7:00pm to 11 :OOpm. Hope uses the facility
on Sundays from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and on Mondays from 7:00pm to 1 0:00pm. On
Sunday momings and Wednesday evenings, the facility is usea for worship service and
midweek devotionals. We anticipate the maximum usage of the facility at (1,100)
people which includes (800) adults seated in the gymnasium and (300) children in the
classrooms. Sunday and Monday evenings usage by both the Church and Hope
typically does not exceed (300) in attendance and is limited to meetings, athletic
leagues and cJasses.
Rent. The Church and Hope pay a combined total of $6,000 per month in rent for the
usage of the facility.
...
Tenn. The term of both Facility Use Agreements is one year with options to renew on
each anniversary date for an additional four (4) years. Our intention is to limit the use of
the facility with it's current parking restraints to two (2) years from the date of issuance
of the CUP. By the end of the two years, the Church and Hope plan on moving to a
new facility within the City of Chula Vista.
Parking Facilities. The facility currently contains (93) paved and striped parking stalls.
Our plan is to utilize the dirt field area for an additional (238) temporary parking spaces
which will be used on both Sundays and Wednesdays. The combined total of (331)
parking stalls allows a total attendance of (1,158) people in the facility.
J
1
Parking Improvements. We plan to install a double swing gated entry at a new
driveway location at the entrance to the Jot We will provide a paved entry, traffic cones
and caution tape to facilitate the parking use. As a further safety measure, we will
install two 400W Metal Halide flood lights on the existing buildings to illuminate the lot
during Wednesday evenings and repair or replace all the lights over existing doorways
to the facility. The surface of the dirt field will remain unchanged throughout the two
year term of the CUP.
Parking Operations. During the Sunday morning and Wednesday evening events,
we plan on using two traffic directors wearing orange vests to direct all traffic into the
field area first and the paved area last 'n addition, we set up traffic cones and use
orange flags to further direct the traffic. Over the past severa' weeks, we have used this
plan on Sunday mornings when the traffic is the highest volume and have successfully
parked all the cars on the premises. Not a single vehicle has parked on Oleander since
we have started using this parking plan. In the event of rain or if the field is determined
to be unusable, our plan is to first fill the paved parking lot and then direct traffic to park
on the East side of Oleander only and to avoid any parking in the residential areas. If
the curb is painted red 00 the East side of Oleander to accommodate a left turn lane at
the entrance to the facility, we will direct traffic to park North and South of the red curbs.
Left Turn Lane. Based on the volume of traffic entering the facility, we support the
City of Chula Vista plan to install a left turn only lane from Southbound Oleander into the
facility and painting red the East side curbs only on Oleander Avenue.
Please consider the foregoing Parking Plan and I request that .the Planning Department
recommend approval of our CUP application based on this plan. I believe we have
established with the residents in the area that we can provide ample off-street parking
for our largest events without negatively impacting the residents. Our use of the dirt
... : field area will be limited to (2) years at which time the Club plans on planting new grass
. and tenninating all parking usage on the field. - .
Thank you for your consideration in this regard.
Very Truly Yours,
SAN DIEGO CHURCH OF CHRIST

CITY OF CHULA VISTA
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES
Thursday - 6:30 p.m.
Conference Room 2&3
August 21, 1997
276 Fourth Avenue
The meeting was called to order at 6:31 p.m.
1. ROLL CALL
PRESENT:
Chair Palma: Members Dennison, Helton, Radcliffe (arrived at 6:34),
Vaccaro, Rude, Cochran
ALSO: Director Valenzuela, Deputy Director of Parks Foncerrada, Senior Recreation
Supervisor Beardsley, Acting Director of Planning Lee
5. ACTION ITEMS
a. Boys & Girls Club CUP (from meeting of 7-22-97)
Director Valenzuela presented the staff report to the Commission noting that in 1986 the City
entered into a lease agreement with the Boys and Girls Club. Over the course of time the Club has
had to be innovative in revenue generating activities, one of which is Bingo. The Club rented the
facility to the church which has caused a parking issue. As of the result of the church using the
facility, cars are now being parked in the lot that was originally a play area for the children.
Staff is recommending an evaluation of the CUP and the lease to the church, and to address any
concerns the City may have with the Club.
Deputy Director of Parks Foncerrada reported that citizen complaints have been received about the
impact of the church activities on the neighborhood. He outlined possible violations, noting none
were so severe that Boys/Girls Club should be penalized; these violations can be handled
administratively. Mr. Foncerrada also noted that in 20 years, the agreement has become obsolete
and the off-street parking has created problems in the neighborhood which is a key concern that
needs to be resolved.
Acting Planning Director Lee reported the Planning Department does have an application on file for
the Conditional Use Permit for the church. A public forum was held to discuss these issues. The
church is proposing to utilize the area east of the building for parking and it will provide about 125
parking spaces. The present paved area provides parking for about 90 cars.
Lowell Billings, Board President for the Boys and Girls Club reported that in his role as Assistant
Superintendent for CV Elementary School District and a member on the CV Human Services
Council, he has a broader perspective to speak on these issues. Of vital importance is that the Club
I(

August 21, 1997
IS In a rec8very period: Bingo has been limited because of Indian gaming, but it does provide the
Club with "serious revenue" such as the Small Wonders Child Care Program. The alternative of not
receiving the funding is to close the doors and shut down programs provided for the children in the
community. He stated that the community needs more churches and Boys/Girls Club activities.
There is an assumption that the Club is reserved for other kinds of fund raising activities that are
displacing children. He passed around a schedule of daily programs for Commission review. He
stated his purpose here tonight was to challenge the community to look creatively at how we use
our resources and at what is actually going on at the Club.
Mr. Billings clarified that they are not sub-leasing the facility. The facility is provided to a number
of agencies on a contingency basis, to generate revenue.
Mr. Billings stated that the Board of Directors has always received so much support from the
community that they want to give back the same support. One way is to offer the building to groups
after hours. Club hours are 2:00 p.m to 7:00 p.m Monday through Friday, with extended hours
during the summer. He reiterated again that the building is rented only after hours so no time is
taken from the children. As to how long Bingo will be held at the Club, Mr. Robinson noted that
Bingo has been going on at the Club for 18 years and has been a source of revenue since then.
They are only planning to use the parking on the field only as long as the church is there. The
church services are on Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p_m. and on Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m.
Responding to Commissions questions, Mr. Billings stated that the club serves over 6,000 in the
community. Children from both neighboring schools use the Club, the Club has also coordinated
a program with the school district for use of a school bus which allows children to come in from
other parts of the community. Mr. Billings also informed the Commission that the Club is in the
process of hiring a new Executive Director and doing some strategic planning to reshape the vision
and core values that surround the Club. He noted the fantastic job Mr. Robinson had been doing.
The books are balanced, the bills are up to date and the City has been paid their fees. But they
are not yet at a point where they can afford to lose any revenue without running the risk of closing
the Club.
Ms_ Vilma Coquia, 460 Redwing Road voiced her concerns about parking at Oleander and Redwing
Street. She stated that something should be done since they cannot leave their street, it is very
unsafe; Traffic and Engineering have both told the residents that there is nothing more they can do
because there have not been any accidents at that site.
Mr. Lee agreed that parking is an parking issue and it may be taken to the Safety Commission.
Tim Gallagher, 1312 Oleander Avenue stated that he was the author of the letter of complaint in the
Commission packet. He suggested a possible solution; that a new driveway and additional parking
lot be graded and paved off the proposed East Palomar connection.
Responding to a question if the Boys/Girls Club is in violation of any City ordinance at the moment,
Mr. Billings said it has to do with the interpretation of whether the church use constitutes a sub-
lease of the facilities use permit. Mr. Billings' said his interpretation is that the Club has a
conditional facilities use permit over which they have full control.
Director Valenzuela said the parking conditions will improve when the new development comes in.
He clarified staff recommendations explaining that they are requesting to evaluate the existing
situation after 12 months and to monitor the on the on-street parking to make sure it doesn't

negatively impact the neighborhood. Staff feels overflow parking within the play yard would help
mitigate the situation. Staff would like to see that area improved, possibly with decomposed granite
which is best to use in the field.
Mr. Billings agreed with the use of decomposed granite stating that he does not want to use oil on
the field. Oil could potentially damage the field and he would like to see the field brought back to
a turf condition at a later date.
Acting Director Lee stated that Parks and Recreation, Engineering, and Planning need to get
together to review the issues.
MSUC (Radcliffe/Helton) to accept staff recommendation to allow the Boys and Girls club to
continue to use the back lot for additional parking for a maximum of two years and to
encourage the City departments involved to look at other alternative parking and to also
address the traffic issue (7-0-0).

PROJECT NAME: San Diego Church of Christ at the Boys & Girls
Club of Chula Vista
PROJECT LOCATION: 1301 Oleander Avenue
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.: 620-060-19
PROJECT APPLICANT: San Diego Church of Christ
CASE NO.:
IS-98-08
DATE: October 23, 1997
A. Proiect SettinlZ
The project site consists of a developed 5-acre parcel located along the east
side of Oleander Avenue north of East Palomar Street. Existing uses and
facilities include a 28,390 sq. ft. building used by the Boys & Girls Club and
93 paved parking spaces. The site is zoned R-1 (single-family residence zone).
The General Plan designates the site for park and recreation (PRK).
The site is served by Oleander Avenue, a designated collector street. Steep
slopes surround the developed portion of the site, along the north, east and
southerly boundaries. The Greg Rogers Park is located to the north, Sunbow
II future development is to the east, the Parkview Elementary School is to
the south and existing single-family residences are found to the west.
B. Proiect Description
The proposed project consists of the use of an existing Boys & Girls Club
facility for religious services by the San Diego Church of Christ and the
provision of an additional 228 temporary parking spaces. The church does not
propose any new construction nor renovation of the existing facilities.
The proposed church activities would be held inside the Boys & Girls Club.
The church activities are scheduled to occur on Wednesday evenings from
7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Additional services are held Sunday afternoons from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
and normally receives less attendance (80-100 members) than the morning
service. The Sunday morning service has an attendance that averages
between 500-700 persons including children and adults. The Wednesday
evening service has an attendance that averages around 300 persons
including children.

(HULA VISfA
The facility's gymnasium will be used for the church's main adult Sunday
morning service and has a maximum seating capacity of 586. Additionally,
there are several meeting rooms and interior areas to be used throughout the
Sunday morning service as classrooms for the approximate 150-200 children.
There are 93 paved parking spaces serving the Boys & Girls Club facility.
The church applicant proposes to utilize an on-site graded but unpaved area
totaling about 1.3 acres to provide an additional 238 temporary parking
spaces. The total number of parking spaces to be provided would adequately
serve the present church membership. Any potential church membership
growth would be limited by the facility's seating and occupant load
constraints.
The applicant proposes to provide parking lot assistants, particularly for the
Sunday morning service, to assist the membership in effectively utilizing the
designated parking area. This would help relieve any potential high incidence
of on-street parking by the church members.
The unpaved parking area is composed of sandy/loam soils and may require
it to be wetted down on windy, dry days prior to its use on Sunday
mornings. On those occasions when heavy rain events may occur, this area
may impact the circulation and parking of vehicles. Under existing Municipal
Code provisions (Zoning Ordinance Section 19.62.100), the City has the
option to review the temporary parking situation after a 6-month period.
During this time, the City can re-evaluate the project's potential adverse
impacts to on-street parking and determine if additional conditions or
mitigation will be required. No further project mitigation will be required at
this time.
The Parks & Recreation Department is seeking to re-evaluate the current
proposal after six months of church operations. After one year, the Parks &
Recreation Department is requesting the Boys & Girls Club submit a
landscape improvement plan, including schedule of implementation for that
area proposed to be used for the additional 238 parking spaces.
The Fire Department indicates that the maximum allowable capacity for all
shown classrooms is 281 people which will be met by the present
congregation. Minimum aisle widths and cross aisles shall be provided in the
seating arrangement. No parking within fire lanes and access ways shall be
permitted.

Compatibility with Zoning: and Plans
'.
The project site is designated for park and recreation use by the City's
General Plan and is zoned R-1 (single-family residential). A church use is
allowed with the granting of a Conditional Use Permit.
D.
Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached
Environmental Checklist form) determined that the proposed project could
have one or more environmental effect. Subsequent specific mitigation
measures will be implemented to reduce these effects to a level below
signilicant. With project mitigation, no significant environmental effects will
occur, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be
required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Specific
mitigation measures are set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Program
which is attached as Attachment "A".
A discussion of the potentially significant but mitigable impacts from the
proposed project follows:
1. Aesthetics
The Zoning Ordinance requires that parking areas be provided with
10% landscaping. The Parks & Recreation Department is requesting
the applicant submit a landscape plan, including schedule of
implementation for that area proposed to be used as temporary
parking after one year of church operation in the Boys & Girls Club
facility. Use of the parking area for less than two years represents a
short-term effect and is not considered a significant adverse impact.
2. Traffic
The estimated 1,022 average daily trips (ADTs) to be generated by the
proposed church use would impact the vicinity of the intersection of
East Palomar Street and Oleander Avenue. As a condition of the
Conditional Use permit, the Engineering Department will recommend
the project proponent restripe Oleander Avenue from the San Diego
Gas & Electric (SDG&E) easement to East Palomar Street in order to
provide a center two-way left turn lane and striping transitions.
The Engineering Department also noted that no church signage be
located within a corner sight distance triangle and thus creating an
a: \l1b \negdecs \is980SJleg
If
Page 3
obstruction to traffic visibility. The project proponent is also to
alleviate or reduce the need for on-street parking by providing
adequate and safe on-site parking and requiring its members to utilize
it.
"
3. Geophvsical (Soils, Dust)
Project proponents propose temporary parking for 238 vehicles on a
graded but unpaved area, This area should be wetted down during
windy events to prevent wind erosion of soils and fugitive dust.
During a heavy rainfall event, it may not be possible to use the
unpaved area as a parking lot due to ponding of water and muddy
conditions. These are anticipated to be short-term and limited in the
number of occurrences and as such, they are not considered significant
impacts. The City will review the project's parking impacts after a 6-
month period and determine if any additional measures will be
required. No further mitigation will be required at this time.
E. Mitig-ation Necessary to Avoid Sirnificant Effects
Specific project mitigation measures are required to reduce potential
environmental impacts identified in the initial study for this project to a level
below significant. Mitigation measures have been made conditions of project
approval, as well as requirements of the attached Mitigation Monitoring
Program (Attachment "A").
The applican1/Boys & Girls Club shall:
1. Provide a landscape plan to the Parks & Recreation Department and
Planning Department, including a schedule of implementation for that
area proposed to be used as temporary parking after one year of
church operations in the Boys & Girls Club facility (Boys & Girls
Club). This plan needs to be adopted and implementation initiated
within two years of the date and approval of the Conditional Use
Permit.
2, Not locate church signage within a corner sight distance triangle,
3. Wet down designated unpaved parking area during windy events.

Co=ents: The project proponents would be utilizing the site two days out of the
week for very limited time periods (Sunday morning, evening and
Wednesday evening). For the most part, the vehicular trips will be locally
generated and at time periods when there is minimal vehicular
movement. No adverse impacts to air quality are noted from project
approval.

VI. TRANSPORTATION/CffiCULATION:
Would the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic 0 0 tgJ 0
congestion?
b) Hazards to safety from design features 0 0 0 ~
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g.,
fa= equipment)?
c) Inadequate emergency access or access 0 0 0 ~
to nearby uses?
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or 0 ~ 0 0
off-site ?
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or 0 0 0 181
bicyclists?
"' \llb \negdecE \iE980Sck.frm ?--~ Page 4
h) A "large project" under the Congestion
Management Program? (An equivalent of
2400 or more average daily vehicle trips
or 200 or more peak-hour vehicle trips.)
Comments: The Engineering Department estimated the number of trips to be
generated on Sunday based on the ultimate o=pancy requirements of
the Boys & Girls facility. None of the projected volumes (Sunday nor
Wednesday) would affect the level of service (IDS) "C" for Oleander
Avenue, East Palomar Street or East Orange Avenue. However, the
estimated 1,022 trips on Sunday would require mitigation in order to
reduce project impacts within the vicinity of the intersection of East
Palomar Street and Oleander Avenue. As traffic mitigation, the
Engineering Department is requiring the project proponent restripe
Oleander Avenue from the San Diego Gas & Electric easement to East
Palomar Street in order to provide a center two-way left t!= lane and
striping transitions. The existing paved parking lot can accommodate 93
parking spaces. A temporary unpaved parking area has been designated
on-site that would accommodate an additional 228 parking spaces. This
area is presently graded and consists of sandy soil which should
adequately percolate in the event of normal rainfall. The additional
number of parking spaces provided should adequately serve present
church membership. The Engineering Department also states that no
church or site signage be placed where it would be within a corner sight
distance triangle pursuant to City Ordinances and Regulations.
f) CO::lllicts "ith adopted policies
supporting alternative transportation
(e.g. bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts?
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would tbe
proposal result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, sensitive species, species of
concern or species that are candidates
for listing?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage
trees)?
c) Locally designated natural communities
(e.g, oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian
and vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration comdors?

b) Exposure of peopJe to severe noise
levels?
Co=ents: The project does not propose new construction or renovation activities.
The proposed church activities would be held inside the Boys & Girls
Club. Activities are scheduled to occur on Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:30
p.m. and on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and then later on in
the day from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The latter activity on SundBy normally
draws less attendance by the members (80-100) than the morning service
(700) including children. Noise from automobiles accessing the site would
occur. The increase in noise to the ambient noise level in the project
vicinity would be less than significant. Oleander Avenue is designated as
a collector street by the City's General Plan. Typically the noise contours
extend further into adjacent properties but are found to be within City
standards (below 65 db(A) CNEL combined). Single-family residential uses
exist along the west side of Oleander Avenue. Open space surrounds the
project site to the north, east and south. Noise from automobiles
accessing the church site would raise the ambient levels by less than 2
decibels, which alone or cumulatively, would not significantly affect the
noise environment in the vicinity.

XXI. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
enviro=ent, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on
the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because.
the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to
the project. A MTI'IGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
em-iro=ent, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the
enviro=ent, but at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described
on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impacts" or
"potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on
the environment, there W'ILL NOT be a significant effect in this case
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately
in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided
or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. An addendum has
been prepared to provide a record of this determination..

Mitigation Monitoring Program
15-98-08
This Mitigation Monitoring Program is prepared for the San Diego Church of Christ proposed
at the Boys & Girls Club. The legislation requires public agencies to ensure that adequate
mitigation measures are implemented and monitored on Mitigated Negative Declarations, such
as 15-98-08.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and! or significant environmental impacts.
The mitigation monitoring program for this project ensures adequate implementation of
mitigation for the following potential impact: aesthetics, traffid circulation, and geophysical! air
quality.
Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinator
(MCe), shall be the Environmental Review Coordinator (ERe) for the City of Chula Vista. It
shall be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation
Monitoring Program are met to the satisfaction of the ERe. Evidence in written form
confirming compliance with the mitigation measures specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration
No. 15-98-08 shall be provided by the Responsible Agencies identified in the attached Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Checklist, to the ERC within thirty (30) calendar days of approval of
the Conditional Use Permit by the City of Chula Vista for mitigation measures #s' 2-4 and after
one year of church operations for mitigation measure #1 requiring a landscape plan, and within
one week after a windy event (20-25 m.p.h winds), for mitigation measure #5 requiring the
unpaved area proposed for parking to be wet down during windy events. The ERC will thus
provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have been accomplished.

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt attached Planning Commission Resolution PCS-98-01 recommending approval of the
Tentative Subdivision Map Salt Creek Ranch Neighborhood 5A, Chula Vista Tract 98-01,
in accordance with the findings and subject to the conditions contained in the attached draft
City Council Resolution.
DISCUSSION
Background
The subject site is a 9.42 acre "Super Lot" (e.i., large parcel designed for further subdivision)
created as part of the Salt Creek Ranch Master Tentative Subdivision map, Chula Vista
Tract 92-02, and approved by City Council on October 6, 1997. The Salt Creek Ranch
Master Tentative Subdivision map subdivided 1197 acres into residential lots accommodating
approximately 2,100 single family lots and two multifamily super lots to house approximately
506 multifamily units. Two elementary school sites, two parks, a fire station site and 482
acres of open space were also created as part of the Master Tentative Subdivision map. The
overall project would be developed in three major phases starting with the area west of
Hunte Parkway where 1,137 dwelling units would be built (see Exhibit B).
Page 2, Item 2
Meeting Date 12/10/97
Site Characteristics
The project site is a level building pad created as part of the Salt Creek Ranch mass grading
program. The finish building pad elevation drops approximately 20 ft. from north to south
and there is approximately a 10 ft. drop from east to west towards the project's main access
point. The project site is limited to the north and east by Stone Canyon Road and vacant
land designated for single family development which would be located approximately 16-20
ft above; to the south by an open space lot containing a segment of the Salt Creek Ranch
community hiking trails and a vacant parcel of the EastIake Business Center located
approximately 18 feet lower than the site. To the west the project is limited by Lane Avenue
which also slopes from north to south approximately 23 ft. (see Tentative Subdivision Map
blue prints).

Proposal
The proposed tentative map consists of subdividing 9.42 acres into 61 single family and 3
open space lots. The subdivision design consists of a triangular shape loop road connected
by a single access point to Lane Avenue. The majority of the residential lots are 46' X 68'
except for those lots with frontages along a street knuckle and cul-de-sacs which are shown
as 25-35 ft wide.
Although not a part of the subdivision, the southerly open space corridor, which features
a segment of the overall community hiking trail system, would be constructed in conjunction
with the development of the property. A pedestrian walk would be provided through open
space lot "C" allowing direct access from the proposed project to the Community hiking trail
system (see Tentative Map blue prints).
Page 3, Item 2
Meeting Date 12/10/97
A decorative type perimeter wall would be provided along Lane Avenue and Stone Canyon
Road to define the boundaries of this interior facing subdivision and complement the
proposed open space landscaping treatment. The perimeter wall would be constructed
within open space lots A and B and maintained, along with the landscaping, by a master
home owners association that the developer is presently forming. to maintain all common
open space lots, community hiking trail system, private parks and other community wide
amenities. Thus,
Compliance with Salt Creek Ranch General Development and SPA Plan
The Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan (GDP), which establishes general pattern,
intensity and character of development, designates the site LM, Residential Low Medium
(3-6 du/ac) with a total of 119 dwelling units at density of 9 du/ac. The proposed 61 lot
subdivision is well below the allowable density and permitted number of dwelling units, and
therefore, as conditioned, is in substantial compliance with the Salt Creek Ranch General
Development Plan (GDP) and Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan.
Compliance with Planned Community Re!!ulations
The Salt Creek Ranch Zoning District Map designates the site SFA, Single Family
Detached which provides for single family attached homes, patio homes, townhomes, zero
lot line homes, duplexes and other single family products on small lots or in land held in
common by association. To provide a high level of development flexibility, the Planned
Community District Regulations allow the property development standards to be established
by approval of the site plan or tentative subdivision map.
The proposed subdivision development standards consists of 46' X 68' lots with an average
size 48' X 82', and average lot area of 3,936 sq. ft. Cul-de-sac and knuckle lot frontage are
35 ft., except for some cul-de-sac lots that area shown at 25-28 ft. wide. However, these 25
ft. wide lot frontages meet the minimum lot width of 35 ft. when measured at the front
building setback line. Exhibit C illustrates some of these narrow cul-de-sac lots as proposed
to be developed.
property development standards for the construction of individual homes are required in
conjunction with the projects' site design which is scheduled to be considered by the Zoning
Administrator on January 21, 1998.
Affordable Housing
The Developer has entered into an agreement with the City to control the delivery of the
low and moderate income housing units required by the Housing Element of the General
Plan. The Housing Element requires the overall master planned community to provide five
__",_..._.__,_.____~ .. ___M..__ _"_.__ _.. ___._ ,_~_~ ..___
Page 4, Item 2
Meeting Date 12/10/97
percent of the total project units as low income units and five percent moderate income
housing units. Delivery of these units is proposed to be in two phases to correspond to the
project's sequence of development. In addition, the Salt Creek Ranch Planned Community
offers a mix of housing types and lot sizes for single-family, townhomes, condominium and
various apartment densities to provide a wide spectrum of housing prices for persons of
various incomes.
Analvsis
The proposed subdivision provides for a residential project with approximately 58 units less
than originally prescribed in the Master Tentative Map, and with a residential product that
complements the housing product composition envisioned in the SPA plan. The Following
table illustrates the adopted residential product composition for phase I:
6,000- 7,000 sq. ft. lots =
5,000 sq. ft. lots =
4,500 sq. ft. lots =
4,000 sq. ft. lots =
Multifamily =
3,800 sq.ft. lots =
20% of Phase I
29%
23%
13%
9%
o .5% (proposed small lot subdivision)
The introduction of the 3,800 sq. ft small lot product is intended to satisfy the present
housing market demand and provide a wider variety of housing product within the planned
community.
The interior circulation system, which consists of a triangular loop road and short cul- de-
sacs, has been designed per City Standards to accommodate public streets with pedestrian
walks on both sides and emergency vehicles access. Overall, the Tentative Subdivision Map,
as conditioned, is in substantial compliance with the applicable regulations and City policies.
Conclusion
For the reasons noted above, staff recommends approval of the proposed Tentative
Subdivision Map, Chula Vista Tract 98-01 in accordance with the attached Draft City
Council Resolution and subject to the conditions contained therein.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~
Meeting Date 12/10/97
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: PCM-98-14 consideration of amendments to the
EastLake Greens Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan and EastIake II
(Eastlake I Extension) Planned Community District Regulations and
Land Use District plan.
The EastLake Company has requested the following amendments to the EastLake Greens
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan, EastIake II Planned Community District Regulations
and Land Use District plan:
L Change EastIake Greens Parcel R-lO Land Use District designation from RP-8,
Residential Planned Concept to RC-lO, Residential Condominium. No increase in
the permitted number of dwelling units and density is proposed as part of this
request (see Exhibit B).
2. Establish a Guest House Land Use District Overlay (GH) and corresponding
development standards (to allow Guest Houses as a permitted accessory use) for lots
01, 36-40, CV Tract 88-03 (1078, 1079, 1082, 1086, 1090, 1094 Augusta Place),
located within the EastIake Greens Parcel R-2 (see Exhibit B).
Section II, Residential Districts, of the Eastlake I Planned Community District Regulations,
as proposed to be revised, has been provided for your consideration and approval (see
Attachment 4)
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that this project falls under the
purview of previous environmental analysis conducted under FSEIR-86-04 (B), EastIake
Greens. Thus, no further environmental action is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt attached Resolution PCM-98-14 recommending that the City Council approve the
proposal in accordance with the attached draft City Council Resolution and Ordinance
based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
1. Existing Site Characteristics
The EastLake Greens Planned Community is located on the south side of Otay Lakes Road
between Hunte Parkway and the future alignment of the SR-125 Freeway (see Locator).
The proposed amendments involve the Eastlake Greens Parcels R-2 and R-lO (see Exhibit
A). Parcel R-lO, which is located on the south side of South Greensview Drive, is a 34 acre
Page 2, Item ~
Meeting Date 12/10/97
level building pad graded as part of the EastIake Greens mass grading program. The existing
Land Use District designation is RP-8, Residential Planned Concept, which allows a wide
range of housing products, including single family detached, duplexes and multifamily
projects.
The General Development Plan designation is Low Medium (3-6 du/ac/) and the SPA
allows 246 dwelling units at a density of approximately 7.1 du/ac. The site is irregular in
shape and limited to the east and west by single family detached residential neighborhoods,
to the south by the future Olympic Parkway and to the north by South Greensview Drive.
Parcel R-2 is a gated community located on the south side of North Greensview Drive and
limited to the east and south by the Eastlake golf course, to the west by a residential
neighborhood and golf course, and to the north by North Greensview Drive (see Locator).
Parcel R-2 land use district designation is RS-5, Residential Estates and contains a total of
43 lots ranging in size from 7,000 to 12,000 sq. ft.
2. Proposed Amendments
A. Parcel R-lO Land Use District designation Change
The applicant is requesting to change Parcel R-lO present land use designation from
RP-8, Residential Planned Concept, to RC-lO, Residential Condominium. Both
districts allow basically the same residential product (single family detached to multi-
family), but the RC-lO District allows the introduction of special property
development standards as part of the project's site plan and architectural review
approval. This added flexibility would allow the applicant the opportunity to develop
two small lot neighborhoods for which the adopted Planned Community District
Regulations do not have development standards. The Zoning Administrator will
consider the development proposal, including the special property development
standards for the project on January 28, 1998.
The requested change in land use designation with the above mentioned small lot
development proposal will result in a reduction of permitted dwelling units from 246
to 231 (-15) and project density from 7.1 to 6.6 du/ac (-0,5 du/ac),
B. Parcel R-2-Guest House Land Use Overlay
The applicant is requesting the establishment of a land use district overlay, "Guest
House Land Use District Overlay," to allow guest houses as a permitted accessory
use on lots 01, 36-40, CY Tract 88-03, of the EastIake Greens Parcel R-2 (see
Exhibit B). Within the Planned Community Zone, this custom home, gated
community is the equivalent of the City's Residential Estate Zone (Chapter 19.22 of
Page 3, Item ~
Meeting Date 12/10/97
community is the equivalent of the City's Residential Estate Zone (Chapter 19.22 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code allows guest houses as permitted accessory use,
subject to specific development standards prescribed in Section 19.58.020D of the
Municipal Code. (see Attachment 5).
The Proposed Guest House Land Use District Overlay would allow guest houses as
a permitted accessory use for the above mentioned lots subject to special
development standards outlined in the amended Section II.3.A-D of the Eastlake II
Planned Community District Regulation (see Attachment 4).
The EastLake Greens Air Quality Improvement Plan, Water Conservation Plan, Public
Facilities Financing Plan and other associated SPA documents are not affected by the
proposed amendments and therefore not proposed to be modified.
ANALYSIS
The Eastlake Greens planned community has a variety of single family detached
neighborhoods ranging from the residential estates (80' X 120') to small lot product (45' X
68'). However, the majority of the residential neighborhoods are 50' X 100'. Exhibit C
illustrates the residential product on each of the Estlake Greens residential neighborhoods.
Parcel R-lO with the existing Land Use District designation of RP-8, Residential Planned
Concept, could be developed with small lot single family detached product similar to the 50'
X 60' lot product built in Parcels R-14, and R-20 (see Exhibit C). However, the property
development standards flexibility featured in the RC-lO Land Use District would allow the
introduction of a small lot product for which the existing planned community district
regulations do not have development standards. The added flexibility would allow the
applicant to respond to present housing market demand by offering future home buyers a
wider variety of housing products.
Parcel R-lO permitted number of dwelling units, target density and proposed residential
product are not proposed to be changed and therefore remain consistent with the adopted
SPA plan and the character envisioned for this area of the Greens.
With regard to the Guest House Land Use District Overlay, the gated community was
intended to house custom homes which are the equivalent of Estate housing outside the
Planned Community zone. Thus, allowing guest houses as a permitted accessory use in the
RS-5, Residential Estate Land Use District is consistent with the City of Chula Vista
Residential Estates zone district. Guest house structures will be subject to the lot coverage,
floor area ratio and other regulations prescribed in Section II.3A, Property Development
Standards, of the Planned Community District Regulations.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 4
Meeting Date: ]2/]0/97
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing:
J) GPA-98-01 - Request for a General Plan Amendment to change the
General Plan Designation from Open Space to Commercial Retail, the
Rancho del Rey Specific Planning Area I Plan General Development
Plan from Community Facility to Commercial and the Site Utilization
Plan trom Community FaciJity CF-I to Commercial Center C-2 for the
Property located at 820 Paseo Ranchero - Rancho del Rey Investors, LP
2) PCM-98-09 - Proposal to Amend Chapter IX-B: Commercial Center
District of the Planned Community Regulations of the Rancho del Rey
SPA I Plan by:
A) Creating the C-2 Commercial Center District;
B) Changing the Land Use Designation for the 1.6 acres of Land at
820 Paseo Ranchero to the Newly Created C-2 Commercial
Center District from its current OS- 3 Open Space District
Designation
C) Adding and Modifying the Permitted, ConditionalIy Permitted
and Prohibited Land Uses Applicable to the C-I and C-2
Commercial Center Districts
BACKGROUND:
Rancho del Rey Investors, LP, the owners of the Rancho del Rey Information Center located 820 Paseo
Ranchero (southwest corner of Rancho del Rey Parkway and Paseo Ranchero) no longer have a need for
the existing Infonnation Center as most of Rancho del Rey will be built out approximately over the next
year. Because of this anticipated build out, they would like to market this property now for future sale.
The current alIowable land uses under a Community Purpose designation are highly restrictive and,
therefore, the property owners are requesting the above-listed changes in order to broaden the permitted
and conditionalIy permitted land uses for this parcel. Attachment I lists the necessary resolutions and
ordinance to accomplish these actions.
The Environmental Review Coordinator prepared Initial Study IS-98-1O, which resulted in an addendum
to EIR-87-01 (Anachment 2).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission accept the addendum resulting from 15-98-10 for EIR-87-01 and
recommend approval of GPA-98-01 and PCM-98-09, subject to the attached drati City Council
Resolution No. _ approving the amendments to the City's General Plan Amendment and the Rancho
del Rey Specific Planning Area I Plan's General Development Plan and Site Utilization Plan, and

Ordinance No. approving the Amendments to the Rancho Del Rey SPA I Planned Community
District Regulations for the property located 820 Paseo Ranchero.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics/Existin~ Use' At present, the 1.6 acre site is occupied by the Rancho del
Rey Information Center, a aesthetically pleasing building designed to be a visual portal to the
Rancho del Rey neighborhoods north of East H Street (see attached Project Description
submitted by the Applicant). Parking adequate for the existing use surrounds the building to the
south and west. The building and parking lot occupy approximately half of the site. The
southern half of the parcel lies within the SDG&E easement.

3. Proposal: The proposal is to establish uses that will allow the existing Rancho del Rey
Infonnation Center, now functioning as a new home sales office, to provide services and minor
commercial support facilities to the local residential neighborhood. To accomplish this, several
amendments must be tirst approved, including:
A. Amending the General Plan, the RdR General Development Plan (GDP), the Site
Utilization Plan (SUP) and the Land Use Districts Map. At present, the Genal Plan
designation is Open Space, the RdR GDP designation is Community Facility, the SUP
designation is Community Facility CF-l, and the Land Use District Map zone is Open
Space OS-3. These plans and maps, with the exception of the General Plan, are attached
as Attachment 3. The General Plan, the General Development Plan and the Site
Utilization Plan are amended by resolution. while the Land Use District Map is amended
by ordinance.
B. Amending the Planned Community District Regulations. This entails the creation of a
new district to be called Commercial District C-2 and specifying permitted, conditionally
permitted, accessory and prohibited land uses for it. The proposed changes and the
original Commercial District Regulations are attached as Attachment 4.
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date:

12/10/97
It should be noted that the Commercial District C- J is currently applied to the Power
Center area along East H Street. The C-I District has been in effect for several years
and has all owed the development of the portion of Rancho del Rey along East H
Street. The C-2 District wiIl differ from the C-I District in that the C-2 District is
proposed to be targeted toward smaIler, neighborhood-type uses, where the C-I District
is designed to accommodate more intense commercial land uses. In addition, where the
C-I District has been applied to a comparatively substantial area, the C-2 District will
be limited to the 1. 6 acre parcel where the RdR Infonnation Center is now located.
4. Analysis: The C-2 District is similar to the existing Neighborhood Commercial (CN) District
now included in the Zoning Ordinance. The primary difference is that not as many land uses will
be all owed in the C-2 District as in the CN Zone, and the C-2 District will be applied to only
the site under discussion in Rancho del Rey SPA 1. The CN Zone is applied to several different
places throughout Chula Vista.
The purposes of the two zones are somewhat similar in that the intent of the C-2 District is to
act "as an area for small scale convenience facilities, primarily to serve the immediate local
neighborhoods" and the purpose and intent of the CN Zone, in part, is to "provide a shopping
center for convenience shopping in a residential neighborhood." Chapter 19.34, C-N -
Neighborhood CommerciaJ Zone, is attached for comparative purposes (Attachment 5).
It should be noted that the only piece of land to which the C-2 District will be applied is 820
Paseo Ranchero, the Rancho del Rey Information Center. This is the only piece of land in the
SPA I area capable of containing the land uses proposed in this amendment. All other land is
designated either residential, employment park, the C-I District, open space or community
purpose facility.
5. Conclusion: Staff has concluded that the proposed changes remain in conformity with the
General Plan's goals of developing the subject area as neighborhood commercial, yet provides
additional flexibility to the property owners over the current OS-3 District designation. After
reviewing the proposed amendments to RdR SPA I, staff recommends adoption of Resolution
No. 98-01 and Resolution No. 98-09.

ADDENDUM TO EIR-87-01
(EL R<\NCHO DEL REY SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMEJ'lT)4rrIJOfMENT L
RDR SPA I Information Center
PROJECT NAME:
SPA I Amendment & GP A for the RDR Information Center
PROJECT LOCATION:
Lot, along the south side of the intersection of Rancho Del Rey Parkway and
Paseo Ranchero, Rancho Del Rey Development, Chula Vista, CA.
PROJECT APPLICANT:
Rancho Del Rey Investors, L.P. (McMillin - RDR, inc.)
PROJECT AGENT:
Gary Cinti
CASE NO.:
1S-98-1O
DATE: November 25,1997
1. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City ofChula Vista allow the Environmental Review
Coordinator (ERe) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) if one of the following conditions is present:
I. The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion of the Final
EIR (EIR-87 -01) have not created any new significant environmental impacts not previously
addressed in the Final EIR.
2. Additional or refined information available since completion of the Final EIR regarding the
potential environmental impact of the project, or regarding the measures or alternatives
available to mitigate potential environmental effects of the project, does not show that the
proj ect will have one or more significant impacts which were not previously addressed in the
Final EIR.
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide additional information and analysis concerning
service impacts as a result of the proposed land use. FEIR 87-01 analyzed the impact of the
development of the property as an information center introducing potential home buyers to the
neighborhoods of Rancho del Rey. The property is now proposed to be developed as a commercial
site. As a result of this analysis, the basic conclusions of the Final EIR have not changed. Traffic
and public service impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 1 5164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the
following addendum to EIR-87-01.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes a change of land use for a 1.6 acre site located in the Rancho del Rey
Community iTom a present information center use (new homes sales office) to a neighborhood
/3
commercial-retail use. The C-2 district is intended to provide for small scale facilities, primarily to
serve the immediate local neighborhood. In order to accomplish the proposed change in land use,
amendments to a number of plans/exhibits will be required as follows:
a.) Genera] Plan/Specific Plan: Amend the designation on the Land Use Element diagram for
this site to Commercial - Retail.
b.) Rancho del Rey SPA I: Amend the Site Utilization Plan ITom Community Facility to
Commercial.
c.) PC District Regulations: Amend the designation ITOm OS-3 to C-2, and provide the list of
uses permitted, conditiona!]y permitted, and those not permitted.
III. PROJECT SETTING
The 1.6 acre project site is located one block north of East 'R' Street on the south west portion where
Paseo Ranchero forms a 'T' - intersection with Rancho del Rey Parkway. The project site is located
at a very prominent visual portal to the Rancho del Rey development. The project site is fu!]y
developed. There is presently a 2,380 sq. ft. building on this site. There is also a paved and
landscaped parking lot containing 34 parking spaces. The area surrounding the existing building is
also landscaped. The average slope of the site is about 2%.
The south easterly portion of the site (36,375 sq. ft.) is traversed by a 250 ft. wide San Diego Gas
& Electric Easement. The easement covers about half of the project site and precludes the building
of any structures within its boundaries. Major SDG&E power lines are located on this easement.
There is also an area (17,570 sq. ft.) within the project site that has been cleared and graded but
remains unpaved and contains a trailer used as a construction office.
Surrounding land uses include single family residential uses to the north, SDG&E easement to the
east, the City's Fire Department training tower and future fire station to the south and an area
designated for open space is located to the southwest. There are no sensitive plant or animal species
on-site and no cultural resources would be impacted by the proposed project.
IV. COMPATIBILITY WITH ZONING AND PLANS
The present PC designation is OS-3 (open space disttict) and the Site Utilization Plan designates the
site as Community Facility. Although the project site is designated as Community Facility it does
not form part of the Community Purpose Facility planning program. The City and the applicant
always considered the existing use (home sales office) to be temporary in nature until such time as
a more permanent and acceptable use was adopted. Therefore, a proposed amendment to this
designation would not constitute removal of land for future community facilities. With the
proposed establishment of a new Commercial District in the PC District Regulations, the opportunity
will be provided to determine with more precision and appropriateness the list of specific uses to be
permitted, conditionally permitted and those not permitted. The corresponding General Plan/Specific
Plan designation proposed would be Commercial-Retail. No conflicts with the proposed zoning and
h: \home\planning\Jindab\eir8302.adm

General Plan/Specific Plan designations are noted.
V. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
1. Public Services Impacts
Fire
The nearest Fire Station is to be located adjacent to the project site. This station could
provide service to the site within 3 minutes.
The Fire Department can adequately deliver service to the site without an increase in
equipment or personnel.
The Fire Department states that additional comments will be provided when detailed
development plans become available.
Police Department
The estimated response times of 7 minutes and 13 seconds for Priority 1 calls and 9 minutes
and 8 seconds for Priority 2 calls are above the recommended thresholds. Staff at the Police
Department indicate that adequate police service will be provided to the area and no
mitigation is required. Upon the availability of specific site plan development, the Police
Department recommends a security evaluation by crime prevention personnel.
2. Utility and Service Svstems
Noise
No significant noise impacts are expected to result ITom the proposed retail use of the project
site. The nearest residences are located at a considerable distance to the north across
Rancho Del Rey Parkway.
Schools
This project is in CFD #3 and all properties are assessed to fully mitigate impacts on school
facilities.
Traffic
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "c" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur
h:\home\pJanning\]jndab\eirE302.adm
IS-
Pag~ 3
during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. No intersection may reach
an LOS "F" during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway
ramps are exempted from this policy. The proposed project would comply with this
Threshold Policy.
The City Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed project and has detennined that
it would not adversely affect the existing level of service on roads or intersections in the area.
The project would be associated with a Level of Service "C" for Paseo Ranchero, Rancho
Del Rey Parkway and East "H" Street both before and after project completion
Direct access to the project site is via Paseo Ranchero off of East 'H' Street. Paseo Ranchero
makes a T-intersection with Rancho Del Rey Parkway which also provides access to the
proj ect site.
Drainage
The Engineering Department has determined that proposed RdR SPA I and GP A amendments
to the site will have no significant impacts to the existing building or site. A National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stonnwater Permit will not be required
because the project is part of a larger common plan of development (EIR 87-01 - EI Rancho
Del Rey Specific Plan Amendment) that results in than five acres of solid disturbance. A
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) will not be required for the project.
Soils
No Soils Report will be necessary at this time.
3. Open Space
No impacts to open space are noted.
VI. CONCLUSION
Public service and traffic impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project with
confonnance to all City requirements regarding fire, police and school facilities.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above discussion, I
hereby fmd that the project revisions to the proposed project will result in only minor technical
changes or additions which are necessary to make the Environmental Impact Report adequate under
CEQA.

Comments: Alternative land uses to the existing information center presently used as a home
sales office would eventually need to be evaluated. The proposed neighborhood commercial
designation appears to be compatible with the prominent location of the project site and the
surrounding land uses. With the proposed establishment of a new Commercial District in the
PC District Regulations, the opportunity will be provided to determine with more precision
and appropriateness the list of specific uses to be permitted, conditionally permitted and those
not permitted. The corresponding General Plan/Specific Plan designation proposed would be
Commercial-Retail. No land use conflicts with the proposed zoning and General Plan/Specific
Plan designations are noted.
II. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would
the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or
local population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either
directly or indirectly (e.g., through
projects in an undeveloped area or
extension of major infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially
affordable housing?
Comments: The proposed project will not induce population growth or displace housing.
The project proposes a change to the existing land use designation of a developed 1.6 acre
site.

Comments: The engineering department indicates that no adverse impacts to drainage are
noted since there is an existing structure and the site is fully developed. They further note
that the existing off-site drainage facilities are adequate to serve the site. The project will
not be required to develop and implement a storm water pollution plan (SWPP). No
significant impacts to water or drainage are noted.
V. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or
contribute to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants?
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or
temperature, or cause any change in
climate, either locally or regionally?

Comments: Based solely on the project size of 1.6 acres, the Engineering Department estimates
that a neighborhood commercial center would generate 1500 new vehicular trips. This figure
represents the worst case scenario. The full utilization of the project site is limited by the
existing SDG&E easement which eJ...'tends over about half of the site. However, based on the
existing 2,380 sq. ft. building the proposed use would be expected to generate 225 new trips per
day. Even with the worst case scenario the number of calculated new trips would still not be
considered significant enough to cause adverse impacts to air quality. No other impacts to air
quality are noted.
VI.
TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION.
Would the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic
congestion?
b) Hazards to safety from design features
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g.,
farm equipment)?
c) Inadequate emergency access or access to
nearby uses?
d) Insufficient parking capacity on-site or off-
site?
e) Hazards or barriers for pedestrians or
bicyclists?
f) Conflicts with adopted policies supporting
alternative transportation (e.g. bus
turnouts, bicycle racks)?
g) Rail, waterborne or air traffic impacts?
h) A "large project" under the Congestion
Management Program? (An equivalent of
2400 or more average daily vehicle trips or
200 or more peak-hour vehicle trips.)

XX. EJ'\TVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potential1y affected by this project, involving
at least one impact that is a "Potential1y Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant Unless
Mitigated," as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
D Land Use and D Transportation/Circulation D Public Services
Planning
D Population and D Biological Resources o Utilities and Service
Housing Systems
D Geophysical D Energy and Mineral o Aesthetics
Resources
D Water D Hazards o Cultural Resources
D Air Quality D Noise o Recreation
D Mandatory Findings of Significance
XXI. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
.~
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the
project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL Th1PACT REPORT is required.
D
D
3:L
Page No. 15
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the
environment, but at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier
document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets,
if the effect is a "potentially significant impacts" or "potentially significant unless
mitigated." An ENVIROJ\TMENT AL IMP ACT REPORT is required, but it
must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant
to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed
upon the proposed project. An addendum has been prepared to provide a record
of this determination.

Purpose
In addition to the objectives outlines in Chapter VII, the
Commercial District is included to provide for a quality environ-
ment and to achieve a harmonious mixture of retail and service
commercial uses. Specifically, the Commercial District is intended
to meet the following objectives:
To reserve appropriately located areas for retail stores,
service establishments and offices, offering commodities and
services required by residents of the city and its surrounding
market area;
To provide an opportunity and appropriate development stan-
dards for larger warehouse/discount retail commercial and
support facilities;
To encourage retail and service commercial uses, and related
support uses, to concentrate for the convenience of the pUblic
and for a more mutually beneficial relationship to each other;
I.
To provide adequate space to meet the needs of modern commer-
cial development, including off-street parking and loading
areas;
To minimize traffic congestion and avoid overloading utilities
by restricting construction of buildings of excessive size in
relation to the amount of land around them; and,
To promote high standards of site planning, architecture and
landscape design for commercial developments within the City
of Chula Vista.
A. Commercial District (C-1)
This district is intended as an area for large scale retail
commercial facilities, along with complementary support, recre-
ation, and entertainment commercial uses, which can meet the high
performance and development standards of the Rancho del Rey Planned
Community.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a shopping center for convenience shopping in a residential
neighborhood where analysis of residential population demonstrates that such facilities are necessary and
desirable. CoN zoning shall be applied to property having a minimum area of three acres and a maximum
area of eight acres. It is the intent of the ciry council to insure that the character of the CoN zone will be
compatible with and will complement the surrounding residential area, Therefore, parking areas must be
landscaped as required herein, in order to relieve the barren appearance which most parking lots possess.
It is further the intent of this article to prescribe the number, type, size and design of all signs to protect the
general welfare of the surrounding residential property owners and of the merchants and property owners
within the shopping Center by avoiding wasteful and costly competition among sign users resulting from the
uncontrolled use of signs. (Ord. 1212 ~l (part), 1969; prior code ~33.508(A)).

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 5
Meeting Date: 12/10/97
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: GPA-97-05/PCZ-97-03 - 1) Amend the General Plan for
the property located at 675 Oxford Street to change the designation from
Open Space/Research & Limited Manufacturing to Professional &
Administrative Commercial; and 2) Rezone the property from R-I (Res,
Single Family) and IL-P (Industrial Limited - Precise Plan overlay) to CO-
P (Office Commercial - Precise Plan) - Palomar Station, LLC
BACKGROUND: The Applicant, Palomar Station, LLC, is requesting an amendment to the
General Plan and rezoning of property located at 675 Oxford Street from residential and limited
industrial to office commercial. The Applicant has indicated that they have tried unsuccessfully
to market the property as industrial land (Attachment I),
The Environmental Review Coordinator prepared Negative Declaration for IS-97-24 (Attachment
2) and recommends its adoption.
RECOMMENDATION: Planning Department and Community Development Department staff
recommend that the Planning Commission adopt the Negative Declaration for IS-97-24 and
recommend approval of GPA-97-05 and PCZ-97-03, subject to the attached draft City Council
Resolution No, approving the application for a General Plan Amendment and Ordinance
No, approving the application for a rezone for the property located 675 Oxford Street.
PRIMARY ISSUES:
. Marketing of Property as Industrial Land/Limitations Thereon
. Development Scenarios
. Public Transit/Pedestrian Access/Intensifying Office or Residential Development near the
Palomar Trolley Station
. Benefits to Harborside Elementary School
. Reduction of Industrially Zoned Lands
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The 12,97 acre, inverted flag-shaped lot is vacant. The primary access is from Oxford
Street, however, there is also potential for limited or constrained access from Naples Street
over the "pole" portion of the flag lot. To the north of the primary portion of the lot is
Harborside Elementary School. To the east is Costco, while to the south are industrial and
commercial land uses, To the west is the San Diego Trolley and Industrial Boulevard,
There is no direct access to either the trolley line or to Industrial Boulevard. Across
Industrial Boulevard are multi-family dwellings and a mobile home park,

3, Proposal
The Applicant is proposing to amend the General Plan designation for the property from
Open Space and Research & Limited Manufacturing to Commercial Office and then to
rezone it from Residential R-l and Industrial Limited to Commercial Office, The P
(Precise Plan) overlay designator would remain.
4, Analysis
When considering the proposed changes Planning staff, Community Development staff and
the Applicant considered several issues:
a. Marketin~ of the Property as Industrial Land/Limitations Thereon
As mentioned earlier in this report, the property owner has been unsuccessfully
trying for several years to market this property as industrial land, For a number
of reasons, potential buyers have declined to purchase, These reasons include:
\. Nearby residential development and the existence of an elementary school
immediately adjacent on the north side of the Subject Parcel preclude the
establishment of some of the more intense limited industrial land uses that
may normally be permitted or conditionally permitted at this location due
to incompatibility of land uses. Certain types of manufacturing, research
or transportation-related industrial uses would be undesirable next to an
elementary school.
I\. Ingress and egress to the site is limited, The property can be accessed from
Oxford Street via Broadway, but this is apparently an awkward route to
Page No.3, Item: 5
Meeting Date: 12/10/97
take for many potential industrial developers, especially if large
tractor/trailer usage is envisaged, The property can also be accessed from
Naples Street. This access is also problematic and would be limited as it
is immediately west of Harborside Elementary School adjacent to the
Trolley line and the intersection of Industrial Boulevard and Naples Street.
The traffic cont1icts here would be more sensitive than along Broadway,
b, Development Scenarios
In a letter dated July 15, 1997 (Attachment 3), the Applicant describes two
development scenarios that could be pursued with the proposed actions,
I. One scenario calls for the construction of two and three-story, 200,000 sq,
ft. of commercial office buildings, some of which would be used by
government agencies serving the public, If this scenario pans out, a day
care center sharing open space with Harborside Elementary School may be
possible.
II. The other scenario calls for the development of a maximum of 283
apartment units (22 units per acre) in two and three-story buildings, along
with a swimming pool, community building and children's playgrounds,
It is estimated that the mix of apartment types would be 15 % one-bedroom,
75% two-bedroom and 10% three-bedroom apartments,
Either one of these scenarios is preferable to the current status quo, Given the
potential land uses permitted and conditionally permitted under the CO-P Zoning,
the is less of a chance for an incompatible land use being located next to the
school.
Once the Applicant determines which scenario to develop, there will be further
analysis through design review, conditional use permit (if appropriate) and/or
additional environmental review, Right now, the Applicant is only proposing the
changes to the General Plan and Zoning maps in order to broaden the possibilities
of marketing the property to a potential developer or of developing the property
themselves,
c, Public Transit/Pedestrian Access/lntensifyin~ Office or Residential Development
near the Palomar Trolley Station
Either of the above scenarios are served by one outstanding opportunity which the
property owner is cultivating with MTDB (Attachment 4), This is to use the parcel
between the Subject Parcel and the Palomar Trolley Station as a landscaped
pedestrian linkage, whether the Project Site is developed as office space or as
Page No.4, Item: 5
Meeting Date: 12/10/97
multi-family residential (Attachment 5), This will allow for easier use of public
transit for either office workers or residents of a multi-family development,
d, Potential for Additional Parkin~ for Harborside Elementary School
As described in the letter of July 15, 1997, Harborside Elementary School has a
parking problem. When this school was originally built, parking was not the issue
it is now, Consequently, there is a parking shortage, The property owner is
working with school and district officials to alleviate the parking problem by
possibly allowing some parking on the "pole" portion of the parcel. This issue will
be further explored as a development project comes forward,
e, Loss of Industrial Land
At present, one issue of concern is that if the proposed actions are passed, the
Subject Parcel will be removed from the industrial lands inventory, There is a
shortage of such lands and this of concern so much so that a special workshop was
held between the Planning Commission and City Council on October 9, 1997, At
that meeting the status of Chula Vista's industrial lands was discussed, Further
consideration will be given at future Planning Commission and City Council
meetings on this matter, however, for purposes of the subject applications,
processing could not wait for future analysis, Given the issues involved in keeping
the Subject Parcel zoned IL-P, it was determined that there is justification for the
proposed actions.

6, Conclusion
Page No.5, Item:
Meeting Date:

12/10/97
After considering the alternatives of leaving the Subject Parcel zoned IL-P/R-j, the staffs
of both the Planning Department and the Community Development Department concluded
that the best and highest use of the property could be best realized by approving the
General Plan amendment and rezoning it to CO-P Commercial Office, This will allow
better marketing of the property and also allows a choice of land uses not currently
available to potential developers of the property, Both staffs recommend approval of the
Applicant's requests,

ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.:
618-200-53
PROJECT APPLICANT: Palomar Station LLC
CASE NO: IS-97-24
DATE: November 3. 1997
A. Proiect Setting
The approximately 13 acre project site is located at the eastern terminus of Oxford Street
between Broadway and Industrial Boulevard. Access to the site would be from Oxford and
also potentially from Naples Street via a connection on the east side of Harborside
Elementary School. Existing surrounding uses include the school to the north, the MTDB
trolley line to the east, multi-tenant industrial uses to the south and commercial uses to the
east and southeast. Residential uses exist further east of the site across Industrial Boulevard,
The project site is a graded lot with no existing native vegetation and is relatively level and
at -grade with Oxford Street.
B. Proiect DescriDtion
The project consists of commercial office uses of approximately 200,000 square feet of floor
area. Uses are proposed in two three story buildings with surface parking. A child care
center which would share open space with the adjacent Harborside Elementary School is also
proposed as a potential use,
C, Comuatibilitv with Zoning and Plans
The project site is currently designated as Industrial - Research and Limited Manufacturing
in the City's General Plan, and zoned as limited industrial, The project requires a General
Plan Amendment to Commercial - Professional and Administrative and an accompanying
zone change to commercial office. These actions are included as a part of the project
application. With the approval of the requested changes, the project would be in
conformance with General Plan and zoning designations,

Comments: A traffic impact analysis was performed for the project and is attached as appendix A.
The analysis determined that the project would generate approximately 4,000 Average Daily Trips
(ADT). Addition of project traffic to the local roadway network would not result in operation of
roadway segments or intersections falling below an acceptable Level of Service (LOS D).
Additionally, the project is located near the Palomar Trolley Station, and proposes to enhance access
to the station from the site, Enhanced transit use by employees and/or patrons of the project was not
considered in the traffic analysis but may have the effect of reducing the reported level of project
impact. Improvements to Oxford Street to its ultimate 52 foot width will be required as a standard
condition of the entitlement and permitting process,

XVII. MANDA TORY FINDINGS OF
SIGNIFICANCE: See Negative Declaration for
mandatory findings of significance. If an EIR is
needed, this section should be completed.
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade
the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,
cause a fish or wildlife population to drop
below self-sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce
the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods or
California history or prehistory?
Comments: None of the impacts resulting from the project are considered significant and the project
as a whole would not degrade the environment or substantially affect any biological habitats or
cultural resources.
b) Does the project have the potential to achieve
short-term, to the disadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals?

Re: 12.9 Acres Oxford Street - Rezonin~ Application
Dear Mr. Miller:
As you know, we have recently filed a rezoning application and GP A and we wish to proceed \\~th
commercial zoning with the residential development as a potential secondary land use in the event
the Inter-Agency Govenmlent Services Center does not come to fruition.
The purpose of this letter is to describe two potential use scenarios for the above referenced
property and also to describe responses to various issues which would be raised by the property's
development for the described uses.
Development Scenario No.1 - Development as Market Rate Multi-Familv Housin~
A maximum of 283 apartment units (22 units per acre) in two and three-story buildings, together
with a swimming pool, community building, and small children's playgrounds located throughout
the propertv.
We estimate that the mix of apartment unit types would be 15% one-bedroom and 75% two-
bedroom and 10% three-bedroom apartment units.
Development Scenario No.2 - An Inter-Agencv Government Services Center
This use consists of two and three-story commercial office buildings, together with increased
parking capacity for govenmlent agencies serving the public. In addition to one, two or three
buildings on the property, a child care center sharing open space with the Harbored Elementary
School is a potential use. We anticipate that the total building square footage on this property will
bc in the range of 200,000 square feet
Either use prescnts the following challenges and solutions:
1420 KETTNER BOULEVARD, SUITE 71 0 -SAN DIEGO. CA 921 01

2-C;-
L San Diego Trollev - Western Boundarv
1l1e trolley line is the western boundary of this property. Therefore, any development will
have to take into consideration the traffic separation from the trolley and the trolley noise
issue. However, at the suggestion of your department, we have met with MTDB
representatives, as well as SANDAG representatives, and we are proceeding to acquire the
right to place a landscaped pedestrian walkway connecting our property with Palmer
Street, and the Trolley Station. In addition, our direct negotiations with MTDB have
confirmed that MTDB would be willing to move the railroad ties on the property and we
believe the property can be transformed and turned into a very positive neighborhood
benefit through Ihe use of the walkway, appropriate street furniture, and landscaping, We
are working on the details of this proposal and we believe such details, including first costs
and maintenance costs, will be worked out between the City of Chula Vista and MTDB
representatives and ourselves.
2. Harbored Elementarv School - Northern Boundarv
The existence of the Elementary School is one of the reasons that we have suggested that
this property would be best served by uses other than industrial. The Elementary School
currently has a parking problem on its western boundary and we will work with the
Elementary School officials to try to use our properties together to alleviate this problem.
In addition, if we proceed with the residential scenario, it has been estimated by school
officials that the impact on the local school will be substantial (approximately 60 children)
and therefore, we will also work with school officials to mitigate this impact by providing
additional classroom space or other mitigation as the Elementary School District may
agree.
3. Neil!hboring Shoppinl! Center Properties
a) Price Club Center - Eastern Boundar.'
The subject property is bounded by the rear of the Price Club Center. This area
consists largely of unused parking lots. The agreement among sub-dividers of the
Price Club Center Property of which the subject property was originally a part,
provides for overflow parking and ingress and egress rights to cover all of the
various properties. This right of parking ingress/egress must be legally
reconfinned, but it is part of the original subdivision ordinance granted to the
subject and surrounding shopping centers to the east. This will be particularly
useful in the case of the development of Inter-Agency Government Services
Center. In the event of the development of the use as residential, the landscaping
at this property boundary needs to be enhanced, together with a fence to mitigate
the visual and noise impacts of the Price Club Shopping Center.
2!r
b) Retail Center - Southern Boundarv
This shopping center was originally designed for industrial use, but has been
converted by its users to small retail services. The impact on this Center in either
of the development scenarios outlined above, would seem to be neutral or
enhancement. However, landscaping and completing the widening of Oxford
Street, together with the enhancement of the MTDB property as suggested above,
will be favorable for this property.
4. Traffic
Entrances and exits for automobiles on the subject property should be confined to Oxford
Street, and along the common boundary with the Price Club Shopping Center to the east.
The narrow rectangle of the subject property extends north to Naples Street. However, no
driveway or other access to Naples Street is reconunended for the subject property.
The existence of the trolley crossing and Elementary School traffic along Naples Street
would inevitably create conflicts with a driveway to or ITom the subject. However, it may
be desirable for emergency access, particularly for fire fighting vehicles to be maintained
across this rectangular piece of property and this issue should be negotiated in any precise
plan.
a) Pedestrian Access
We believe it is desirable for neighborhood pedestrian access to be maintained
across this property and the specific path and design relating to such pedestrian
access should be negotiated as part ofthe precise planning process.
5. Engineering Issues
I. Storm Drainage: The current natural storm water outsell would be at the north
west tip of the property. However, the storm drain connector is not of a sufficient size to
accommodate storm drainage from the subject property. Therefore, it is proposed that in
either of the development scenarios that storm drainage be maintained through a series of
detention basins. Alert Engineering will be providing a feasibility study on this issue.
2. Widening of Oxford Street: Plans for the widening of Oxford Street have been
approved by the Engineering Department. The Oxford Street widening should be
completed in cOlmection with the completion of the property.
27
I am sure that there arc a variety of other additional issues which may come up in connection with
our rezoning application. We would be more than happy to discuss these with you and resolve
them as is appropriate.
Thank you very mueh for your cooperation.
Sincerely yours,

RE: ~TDB excess land located at Palomar and Industrial Blvd" Chula Vista
De3.r ~r, Limber:
Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the above-referenced property, Your
gIlida.."1.ce in helping us to incorporate the MTDB parcel in the several development
scenarios contemplated on our site is crucial to the development's overall success,
\Vorking together towards a common goal: better access to and from our site and
surroundi..'ig developments, aJ.'ld increased ridership for MTDB at the Palomar Station,
should prove to be a win-win situation for the community at large, MTDB, as well as
adjacent property owners including ourselves,
This letter outlines the major issues covered during our meeting, It is an effort to
establish direction and goals for all parties involved, and to better understand the
process, time involved, and costs to get us there,
1, I understand that the property ownership consists of two entities - MTDB and the
Arizona Eastern Railroad, MTDB, as the parent agency, owns the rail and Arizona
Eastern owns the underlying land, You stated that MTDB has a general policy of
not selling land to private parties. It would be MTDB's preference to sell either a fee
interest or an easement to the City of Chula Vista, How the City of Chula Vista will
pay for it is a question, however, as a beginning we all agree that an appraisal report
needs to be ordered by either MTDB and/ or the City of Chula Vista to establish a
sales price,
2, MTDB will contact the Arizona Eastern Railroad to see if there are any objections
regarding the sale of this property, If there are no major objections, MTDB will ask
1420 KETTNER BOULEVARD. SUITE 71 0 -SAN DIEGO. CA 921 0 1
TELEPHONE 16191231-1900" FAX 16191 232-1997
:2..1
Arizona Eastern Railroad for their conceptual approval to sell this property. MTDB
does not foresee a major obstacle from their end, but both MTDB and the Arizona
Eastern Railroad have quarterly Board of Directors' meetings, and the approval for
sale must come from both entities. Based on a subsequent conversation with Bill
Rose, I understand that MTDB's Board meeting is scheduled for July 17th, and that
the Board meeting for Arizona Eastern is scheduled for July 15th, Ratification of the
Board meeting would take place August 14th.
3. A pedestrian walkway would connect Palomar Station to Oxford Street. MTDB
would like to see the property sold with the condition that it be developed as a
pedestrian walkway. Should an easement be purchased, the landscape and
waintenance of the pedestrian walkway would not be MTDB's responsibility, It
would be the responsibility of the City of Chula Vista (or other entity).
4. I understand that MTDB would insert a reversion clause in the grant deed if the use
as a walkway is abandoned.
J. The sale or this property would require as a condition that MTDB has the right to
reenter if MTDB needs the land for an additional railroad spur right-of way, An
additional condition inserted in MTDB grant deeds, in essence states, that jf MTDB
needs additional land for a spur line, that they have the right to reenter the
premises. Should this occur, MTDB would relocate the pedestrian walkway at their
own cost and expense.
6. MTDB currently uses this sire for the storage of railroad ties, MTDB will require
that the Buyer pay to move the railroad ties to a location selected by MTDB.
7. E".Terye-ne agrees that the crossv,ro.lk at Palamar is dangerDus. There is heZt>;lY
vehicular traffic, and the pedestrian walkway in combination with the crossing gates
is very awkward. MTDB has volunteered to study the issue and provide us with a
preliminary site plan that would address safety and access concerns. One idea was
to pull back the existing gates and provide for a more pedesh'ian friendly walkway
that would lead directly into the southern portion of the MTDB parcel. A pedestrian
overpass was discussed but considered to be not feasible. Engineers from both the
City and NITDB need to get together to study this issue. You abYfeed to contact the
City's engineers to help identify and address the problems, the potential solutions,
and the costs and timing involved with solving the existing access/ safetv problems
to the MTDB site.
36 2
In c1osing, I want to add that if this important community improvement is to occur, a
precise time-line and implementation strategy must materialize rather quickly. We plan
to develop this property within the next 12 months, and the access through the MTDB
property is an important piece of the puzzle. It will be an integral part of how the
overall use, design and layout of the project is conceived, Also, please keep in mind
that this letter is only one man's version of a rather comprehensive meeting. I would
like to encourage everyone to add to, or modify this letter with any additional
comments or ideas. I think I've addressed all the major issues, but I'm sure there are a
few I missed.
I wi11 follow-up with a phone call next week to discuss ways in which we might
proceed. Hoperully, at this time, we can further detail the major issues, and begin to
prepare a strategy, time-line and budget.
Once again, I thank you for your time, interest and consideration, and look forward to
your response.
