Meeting Date: 11/13/96
ITEM TITLE:
Continued Public Hearing: SUPS-96-06 - Request for a special use pennit
to continue operating a temporary truck tenninalltrailer storage yard at
2400 Faivre Street - California Multi-Modal, Inc. and H.G. Fenton
Material Company
At its meeting of September 11, 1996, the Planning Commission continued this item and directed
that the Applicants, California Multi-Modal, Inc. and H.G. Fenton Material Company, and staff
discuss the street improvements needed along Faivre Street. At this time, these discussions have
resulted in several changes to the Redevelopment Agency resolution of approval related to street
improvements. Other changes have also been included. These changes are highlighted in
redlinelstrikeout fonnat. The following is an overview of the resolution beginning on page 3,
Section V, Tenns of Grant of Pennit:
1. Conditions A, Band C are unchanged.
2. Condition D has been added. The hours of operation as listed in the application are 6:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday, Due to the proximity of the Jacqua Street
residential area, a condition has been added which changes this to 6:00 a.m. to 10:00
p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a,m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
3, Condition E (old Condition D) has been amended to allow the use for a maximum period
of five years, instead of one year with four possible yearly reviews. A five year time
limit is acceptable to staff and provides a better nexus needed to condition the street
improvements.
4. Condition F (old Condition E) has been amended. The last two sentences have been
added which require proof that magnesium cWoride, a dust inhibiter, has been applied
to the on-site drive surfaces and along the Faivre Street frontage.
5. Condition G has been added. The Commission may recall that at the public hearing, a
video tape was submitted by an area resident. Staff has since reviewed this tape which
shows trucks stacking on Faivre Street in preparation to enter the CMI site. This is not
an acceptable operational standard, and therefore CMI is required to ensure that all truck
stacking occurs on-site in an area over which they have control.
6. Condition H has been added to require a buffer area adjacent to the Regional Park.
Because of the discussion revolving around the Otay River Valley Regional Park at the
public hearing, staff consulted with the Advanced Planning Section of the Planning
Department. Condition H is acceptable to Advanced Planning.
7, Conditions I and J have been added, Upon investigation of the needed street
improvements, staff became aware that the Engineering Division is in the process of
planning and implementing a drainage improvement project in the area of Main
Street/Faivre Street and that it will impact this project. A 15 foot wide drainage
easement along the easterly property line is now conditioned as part of this project, As
Page 2, Item: 2
Meeting Date: 11/13/96
can be seen from the site plan, CMI wishes to continue parking twenty foot wide trailers
along this property line right over the easement. This being the case, the Applicants are
being required to do one of two things:
a. Not park trailers along this property line and fence off the area; or
b. Pay for upgrading the culvert so that it can withstand the weight of trailers when
fully loaded.
Construction of the drainage project is tentatively to begin sometime in the spring of
1997.
8. Condition K (old Condition F) has been revised. The Commission may recall that there
was concern at the public hearing regarding street improvements and there was general
direction that staff and the Applicant consult thereon. Condition K is the results of this
consultation.
9. Condition L has been added. To ensure that the appropriate improvements are made for
the whole length of Faivre Street, the Applicants are required to participate in the
formation of a reimbursement and/or assessment district.
10. Condition M is the old Condition G. Unchanged,
11. Condition N (old Condition H) has been slightly modified to ensure that all parking takes
place on CMI's area of operations.
12. Condition 0 is the old Condition I. Unchanged,
13. Condition P is the old Condition J. Unchanged.
14. Condition Q is the old Condition K. Unchanged,
15. Condition R is the old Condition L. Unchanged.
16. Condition S is the old Condition M. Unchanged,
CONCLUSION: Staff has concluded that the use of the Project Site as a temporary truck
terminal/trailer storage yard is an appropriate use until such time as a more comprehensive land
use study can be completed and more suitable land uses can be defined for the area. In the
mean time, street improvements will upgrade the area and other conditions of approval will
ensure lesser impacts to area residents. Staff continues to recommend that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the project pursuant to the Resolutions of Approval.

III. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The Redevelopment Agency approves the Addendum IS-96-08 to Negative Declaration
IS-90-09M.
IV. SPECIAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The following fmdings are required by the Southwest Redevelopment Plan which governs
the issuance of special use pennits. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula
Vista is able to make findings in support of the Project as required by the City's rules
and regulations for the issuance of special use pennits, as hereinbelow set forth, and sets
forth the evidentiary basis for approval of the proposed Project:
1, That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the
neighborhood or the community.
The proposed temporary truck tennina1ltrailer storage area provides for the
storage of various items of material and equipment that are useful to the continued
operation of businesses within the community.
2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or
(m:\home\planning\martin\fenton\faivre\9606ra.res)
Resolution No.
Page #3
working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity.
The proposed temporary truck terminalltrailer storage area presents a neat, well
ordered appearance and will be separated from nearby residents by Faivre Street
and will not result in impacts which would adversely affect humans or
surrounding properties,
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the code for such use.
The proposed storage area will complies with the applicable conditions, codes and
regulations for the Montgomery Specific Plan area.
4. That the granting of this special use permit will not adversely affect the
general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The site is located in the "White lands " special comprehensive study area and a
specific plan designation for this area has not yet been determined. With the
approval of a special use permit allowing this use for a temporary period, and the
Planning Department's ability to phase out this use if open space is determined
to be the best for the area, this project will be consistent with the applicable plans
and policies.

Meeting Date: 11/13/96
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: SUPS-96-08 - Request to establish, operate and maintain
an open air market at 690 "L" Street in the IL and IL-P Zones -
Applicants: Benjamin Hourani, George Ronis, Victor Joseph
The applicants are requesting permission to establish, operate and maintain an open air market
at 690 "L" Street in the IL (Limited Industrial) and IL- P (Limited Industrial - Precise Plan)
Zones for a period of 12 to 18 months (Exhibits 1 & 4). The project site, according to the
project description, is approximately 144,000 square feet in size. Approximately 100,000 sq. ft.
will be used for the market area, while about 44,000 sq,ft. will be used for parking. There will
be no permanent buildings built as part of the project. There will be several temporary buildings
placed on-site, as described later in this report (Exhibit 2).
An Initial Study, IS-97-03, submitted on July 24, 1996, was completed on this project which
resulted in a mitigated negative declaration. (Attachment 2)
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution SUPS-
96-02 recommending that the Redevelopment Agency deny the application to establish, operate
and maintain an open air market at 690 "L" Street. (Attachment 1)
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
1. The proposed project is located in the Southwest Redevelopment Area. Under normal
circumstances, the Project would be heard by the Southwest Project Area Committee
(PAC) instead of the Planning Commission. Due to the fact that the PAC does not
currently have enough sitting members to form a quorum, the Southwest Redevelopment
Plan makes allowance for projects to be considered by the Planning Commission for a
recommendation to the Redevelopment Agency.
2. On November 11, 1996, the Resource Conservation Commission will consider the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for IS-97-03. A verbal report will be given to the
Planning Commission at the public hearing.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The project site consists of several vacant parcels (APN's 618-010-3, 14(part), 16(part)
and 24 (part)(Exhibit 3). The plan calls for the vendors to be sited on the westerly
parcel 24. The easterly parcels will be reserved for customer and vendor parking.
Parcels 3 and 14, which front on "L" Street, are gravel areas, while parcel 24 is covered
with concrete slabs. The Ratner manufacturing building stands on parcel 16 at the
westerly terminus of Arizona Street. The San Diego Trolley line passes immediately to
the west of parcel 24. -

3. Proposal
The applicants are proposing to set up a retail operation on the project site for the
purpose of selling goods in an open air market. Stalls would be leased out to
approximately 80 vendors who would then sell goods ranging from "used items, sale of
new items, and sale of fresh produce and flowers" (see Exhibit 4, Project Description).
Further in the project description the applicants state that "Tight control will be
maintained over items sold: no tobacco products, drug paraphernalia, or tasteless tee
shirts will be permitted to for sale; no alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the
premises. "
The subject land use is considered an "Unclassified" land per Chapter 19.54 of the
Zoning Ordinance. This means that the use may be considered in any zone through the
Conditional Use Permit process, The Applicants were advised by staff to submit an
application for a Special Use Permit to the Redevelopment Agency in order to allow
appropriate review by staff and consideration by the Planning Commission and
Redevelopment Agency of the project on its own merits.
Since the use is considered to be "Unclassified," the Project itself must be determined
to be compatible with surrounding land uses. An open air market generally functions as
a commercial enterprise at a retail level. The surrounding land uses to the east, south
and west are generally industrial. The primary exception is a medical office to the east.
To the north, a multi-family residential area exists.
The site plan shows the project area to be about 190,000 square feet is size. The sales
area is proposed to be about 100,000 sq. ft., while the parking/circulation areas are to be
approximately 90,000 sq. ft. Vehicular entrance to the project site will be through a drive
way at the northeast corner of the parking area, Pedestrian a=ss to the vendor area will
be through a gate located about midway along the easterly property line of parcel 24.
Customer parking will be immediately off of "L" Street east of the vendor area on-parcel
Page 3, Item: 3
Meeting Date: 11/13/96
3 and part of 14. Vendor parking is proposed to be on parcel 16 on the south side of the
Ratner building.
The site plan also shows several temporary buildings. A mobile administrative office is
to be located near the northwest comer, while a mobile food catering wagon will be
located inside the property east of the Ratner building. In addition, 12 portable toilet
rooms (6 male; 6 female including 2 for the physically handicapped) are proposed to be
located near the southwest comer of the project site. No other buildings, temporary or
permanent, are shown on the site plan.
4. Analvsis
A. Proposed Land Use
The staff recommendation for denial is based on several factors. First, the
location is a "gateway" to the City, Second, the land use does not appear to be
compatible with the permitted and planned future area land uses. Finally, it does
not comply with some of the goals of the Southwest Redevelopment Are
Implementation Plan.
The Site as a "Gatewav"
Although the applicant is proposing the operation as temporary (12 to 18 months),
the proposed use will establish a negative visual entrance to this area of the City
by virtue of the multitude of temporary poles, awnings and outside displays.
Certain General Plan goals and policies identify the "L" Street area as a
"gateway" to the City. Specifically, Section 7.4, Gateways, of the Land Use
Element of the General Plan (pg. 1-47) defmes what these are:
"Gateways are generally defmed as the area where a major approach route
enters the city and extends along that route for some distance into the city.
A special treatment is considered to be appropriate to signify the arrival
at the city or arrival at and progression into an important element of the
city. "
Since "L" Street is designated as a "gateway," it is staff's opinion that proposed
land use at this location is not an appropriate "first impression" the City should
offer residents entering Chula Vista at "L" Street. The site will be very visible
from the "L" Street overpass and from the San Diego Trolley line.
Planned and Future Land Use Comvatibility
The site is located in an industriaVmanufacturing zone and is surrounded on three
sides by such uses, except to the east where there are medical offices according
to the Project Description, The proposed use functions as a commercial
Page 4, Item: 3
Meeting Date: 11/13/96
enterprise at a retail level. Retail sales is listed as an accessory use to
manufacturing uses in the industrial zones (Section 19.44.030.C: "Retail sales of
products produced and manufactured on the site"). This conflicts with both the
General Plan, which designates this area as Research and Limited Industrial, and
the Zoning Ordinance, which zones this area as IL, which plan for this area to
develop as manufacturing/limited industrial land uses.
The surrounding land uses consist of residential to the north and industrial to the
east, south and west. These are not considered to be completely compatible with
the Project. Because of this incompatibility, the proposed use does not fit into
the long-term goals for developing this area for limited industrial purposes.
Southwest RedeveloDment Area ImDlementation Plan
As noted earlier in this report, the site is located within the Southwest
Redevelopment Area near the "L" Street/Industrial Boulevard/Arizona Street
industrial area. The proposed use may be an impediment to assembly of parcels
for the coordinated redevelopment of the Arizona Street industrial corridor and
could have adverse effects on existing area businesses and any potential
businesses that may want to locate in the area, This can be deduced from the
goals found on page 5, Section III.A of the Southwest Redevelopment Area
Implementation Plan, as listed below:
" 1. The development of property with coordinated land use consistent with the
goals, policies, objectives, standards, guidelines, and requirements as set
forth in the City's adopted General Plan.
2. Elimination and prevention of the spread of blight, and to conserve,
rehabilitate, and redevelop the project area in accordance with the
Redevelopment Plan and future Annual work Programs.
4. Beautification activities to eliminate all forms of blight, including but not
limited to visual blight, in order to encourage community identity.
8. Provision for the enhancement and renovation of businesses within the
Project Area to promote their economic viability.
10. Promotion of public improvement facilities which are sensitive to the
unique environmental qualities of the Project Area.
11. Removal of impediments to land assembly and development through
acquisition and re-parcelization of land into reasonably sized and shaped
parcels served by an improved street system and improved public
facilities. " -
Page 5, Item: 3
Meeting Date: 11/13/96
Based on these goals, the proposed use does not appear to be compatible with
future plans for development of land uses within the Arizona Street industrial
area.
To summarize, staff has concluded the proposed open air market at the desired
location is not an appropriate land use due to the fact that "L" Street is a gateway
to the City of Chula Vista and establishment of such a use would not relay a very
favorable impression to residents and visitors entering the City, the use itself is
not compatible with existing and future land uses designated in the General Plan
and Zoning Ordinance, and because the proposal does not meet the long-term
goals of the Southwest Redevelopment Area Implementation Plan.
B. Conditions of Approval if PC Recommends Redevelopment Agencv Approval
Notwithstanding staff's concerns with the proposed use, because the applicant's
proposal is temporary in nature, staff has compiled possible conditions of
approval for the Project in the event the Planning Commission chooses to
recommend approval of SUPS-96-08 to the Redevelopment Agency. The
conditions are as follows:
1. Applicants shall:
(1) Operate the Project as submitted to and approved by the Agency,
except as modified herein and/or as required by the Municipal
Code, and as detailed in the project description.
(2) Install a ten (10) foot landscaped buffer along "L" Street the entire
length of the project including both the vendor's lot and the
parking lot, not just the vendor's lot, to the satisfaction of the
Director of Planning.
(3) Extend the wrought-iron-with-pilasters fence the entire length of
the westerly property line,
(4) Submit a landscape plan to the Director of Planning prior to
occupancy of the site and install approved landscaping prior to
opening for business,
(5) To the satisfaction of the City Engineer:
(a) Construct an eight (8) foot wide sidewalk along the "L"
Street frontage easterly to meet the existing sidewalk.
(b) Construct all access driveways to Commercial Stanoards.

the Standard Specifications except that it shall be
permissible to use 40-50 penetration grade asphalt binder
as an alternate to 60-70 penetration asphalt binder. A Type
" A" seal coat per Subsection 8-08 of the Standard
Specifications shall be applied to the entire paved surface.
(d) Widen Industrial for a length, to a width, and to a standard
satisfactory to the City Engineer.
[Staff Note: Because of the proposed temporary nature of the
project, the applicants can request deferral of the above conditions
of approval through the Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department.]
(6) Consistent with CVMC, Section 19.58.370B, request that the
Zoning Administrator grant, in conjunction with the open air
market, up to six (6) permits per year not to exceed twenty-four
(24) days in any calendar year, but not exceeding seven (7)
consecutive days, for events which would allow the open air
market to maintain temporary displays and facilities on the site for
the duration of the event. The permit shall be submitted for review
at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the event,
and shall include all plans, exhibits, and operational information
deemed necessary by the Zoning Administrator in order to
properly evaluate the request, render a decision, and apply any
necessary conditions.

storage facilities or fencing shall be cleared from the site by 7:00
p.m. The applicant may request from the Zoning Administrator
extension of the days to include Thursdays and Fridays afrer one
year of operation from the opening day of sales. The Zoning
Page 7, Item: 3
Meeting Date: 11/13/96
Administrator may approve, deny or modify the extension subject
to appeal to the Planning Commission.
(9) To the satisfaction of the Conservation Coordinator:
(a) Ensure a litter abatement, recycling and trash disposal
program that will eliminate any litter from leaving the
facility and meet or exceed the 50% source reduction,
reuse and recycling diversion goals mandated by the State
of California.
(b) Provide an annual report of the solid waste management
plan each January for the previous calendar year.
(c) Place refuse and recycling collection/enclosure areas within
the Project site.
(10) For the life of the open air market, review the consistency of

Initial Study (IS-97-03) and Special Use Pennit (SUPS-96-08) with
the Zoning Administrator, Police Department, Fire Department
and Public Works Department on the anniversary date after the
opening of operations. Said review shall be initiated by a report
prepared by the open air market operator to the Zoning
Administrator which shall address such issues as traffic impacts,
adequacy of parking, ingress/egress, hours of operation, etc. The
Zoning Administrator shall, at his/her sole discretion, detennine
whether or not the operations are materially consistent with the
nature and intensity of the operational parameters used to evaluate
the project in the Initial Study and Special Use Pennit. If the
operational profJ.le is deemed inconsistent and more impactive than
originally expected, the Zoning Administrator may require review
and/or modification of conditions via additional environmental
review and/or a fonnal modification to the Special Use Pennit.
(11) Prior to opening for operations, schedule a security survey with
the Chula Vista Police Department, Crime Prevention Unit, and
implement the suggestions of said survey in order to enhance
security. Notwithstanding the implementation of the security
survey, in the event crime and/or security becomes a problem, as
indicated by increased crime reports filed with the Chula Vista
Police Department related to the open air market, Applicants shall
retain, at Applicants' expense, a company who shall prepare a
crime reduction/security provision report for the operation-of the
open air market, to the satisfaction of the Chief of Police. Said

utilized or extended within one year from the effective date
thereof, in accordance with Section 19.14.260 of the Municipal
Code.
(21) Applicant shall pay all costs associated with implementing any of
the above conditions of approval.
5. Conclusion
To again summarize, staff has concluded the proposed open air market at the desired location
is not an appropriate land use due land use concerns. However, if the Planning Commission
determines to recommend approval of the application to the Redevelopment Agency, the
Commission should make the findings and direct staff to return with a draft resolution of
approval to the meeting of November 20, 1996 in order to keep the project on-tract for the
Redevelopment Agency meeting scheduled for December 10, 1996,

II. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence on the Project introduced before the Planning
Commission at their public hearing on this project held on November 13, 1996 and the
minutes and resolution resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of
this proceeding.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
hereby DENIES the special use permit based on the following findings and all other reports,
evidence and testimony presented with respect to the proposed use.
III, SPECIAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The following findings are required by the Southwest Redevelopment Plan which governs
the issuance of special use permits. The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula
Vista is unable to make [mdings in support of the Project as required by the City's rules
and regulations for the issuance of special use permits, as hereinbelow set forth, and sets
forth, instead, the evidentiary basis denial of the proposed Project:
1. That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the
neighborhood or the conununity.
The Redevelopment Agency hereby finds that whereas an open air market facility
sited at an appropriate location would provide a desirable service for the
community, subject Project is proposed to be located at a Gateway to the City of
Chula Vista, and is surrounded by incompatible land uses, which does not
contribute to the well being of the community.
2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity.
The Redevelopment Agency hereby finds that by the nature of the use at a
Gateway to the City, the negative impact on community character if the project
(m:\home\planning\manin\swapmeet\9608ra.res)
.3 -.5'
Resolution No.
Page #3
were approved would be detrimental to the general welfare to property,
improvements and the populace in the area.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the code for such use.
The Redevelopment Agency hereby fInds that the proposed use is an UnclassifIed
Use pursuant to Chapter 19.54, but that said proposed use will not comply with
Chapter 19.54 of the Zoning Ordinance in that such use is not compatible with
the type of uses permitted in surrounding areas. Notwithstanding this fact, it may
be possible for subject use to comply with performance standards except that the
Redevelopment Agency hereby fInds that this is not an adequate basis for
approval of this Project as the other issues argue against approval.
4. That the granting of this special use permit will not adversely affect the
general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The granting of SUPS-96-08 would have an adverse affect on the General Plan
and the Southwest Redevelopment Area Implementation Plan in that the proposed
use does not implement the several of goals, objectives and policies of either
document. Such impacts are set forth in the staff report presented on this matter,
which such report is incorporated herein in support of this finding.

PROJECT NAME:
Chula Vista Marketplace
PROJECT LOCATION:
690 "L" Street
Chula Vista, CA
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.:
618-010-24
PROJECT APPLICANT:
Benjamin Hourani, George Ronis, Victor Joseph
CASE NO: 1S-97-03
DATE: November 8,1996
A. Proiect Setting
The project site consists of a vacant 144,000 sJ. (3.5 acres) parcel located at the
southeast corner of "L" Street and Industrial Boulevard. There are two access points to
the site, both located on "L" Street. The average graded slope of the site is 2.0% and the
maximum graded slope is 5.0%. The site is zoned Limited Industrial (IL) and is
designated as Research and Limited Manufacturing on the General Plan. There is
multi-family residential to the north across "L" Street, medical offices and light
industrial to the east, light industrial to the south and the San Diego Trolley to the
west (between the site and Industrial Boulevard). A traffic study performed by Darnell
and Associates, Inc. concluded that an LOS (Level of Service) of "F" exists on
Industrial Boulevard, from "L" Street south to the onloff ramps. The study also
indicates that traffic flows on Industrial Boulevard at project location are at 126% of
capacity and are. projected to reach 136% of capacity in the short term future.
B. Project Description
The applicant proposes establishing an open air market for the sale of new and used
items as well as fresh produce. The project consists of 260 sales stalls (2-3 stalls per
vendor per day). Roughly 150 public parking spaces are proposed for the 44,000 sJ.
property east of the sales stalls. The public will be charged a $.50 entry fee. It is
estimated that there will be 15 employees and between 700-800 customers per day.
Hours of operation will be from 5 a.m. till 5 p.m. for employees and 7 a.m. till 3 p.m.
for visitors. The applicant proposes the installation of 12 temporary toilet facilities on-
site. The market would be open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Prior to issuance
of permits, the applicant will be required to pay all applicable school fees.
The discretionary actions include the approval by the Design Review Committee, a
Special Use Permit and possibly a Owner Participation Agreement (OP A).

C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The current zoning on-site is IL (Limited Industrial) and the site is designated Research
and Limited Manufacturing on the General Plan Diagram. The proposed project will
be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and General Plan if the applicant obtains
a Special Use Permit (SUP).
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached
Environmental Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project will not have a
significant environmental effect, 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.
The following impacts have been determined to be significant and will require mitigation. A
discussion of each of these impacts from the proposed project follows:
Applicant has performed an ingress/egress study to determine projects effect on City's
circulation system. That study concluded that Industrial Boulevard must be improved
from south of the freeway ramps to "L>> Street to add an additional lane in that
segment.
Dedication will be required along the "L" Street frontages as well as the parking lot
area. Street widening will be required along "L" Street to bring roadway up to Class I
Collector standards. Widening of the parking lot parcel driveway to the east of the
project site is also required. Finally, A.C. pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk along
project and parking lot frontages will be required.
Police Department staff state, expected high vehicular and foot traffic through project
implementation would increase the potential for traffic hazards and accidents. This
increase would be due to the high number of pedestrians crossing the "L"
Street/Industrial Boulevard portion of the MTDB trolley line. The increase in
pedestrians would create a hazard since the trolley does not stop at that crossing. In
addition, a parking area open to any foot traffic lends itself to petty theft, burglary,
robbery and possible auto theft. There is no indication of parking lot fencing or the
level of security provided. Overall, there are several concerns regarding required
police services and personnel for this project in order to maintain current levels of
service for the area.
(M:\I1ome\planmng\kelthlIld.swap) pagel
E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant effects
Specific project mitigation measures are required to reduce potentially significant
environmental impacts identified in the initial study for this project to a level below
significant. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design and
have been made conditions of project approval, as well as requirements of the attached
Mitigation Monitoring Program (Attachment "A"). Those measures are described
below:
1). The parking area should be paved to provide designated parking spaces and
maximize the number of spaces on-site. Also, paving will facilitate proper circulation
within the project.
2). Existing driveway will need to be removed and a new commercial width driveway
installed. This new driveway must be aligned with Woodlawn Avenue.
3). A 7-foot dedication and street improvements are required along the "L" Street
frontage. These improvements will bring "L" Street up to Class I Collector and
General Plan Standards. Since this project is designated as a temporary use, the
applicant can request deferral of the above conditions through the Engineering
Division of the Public Works Department.
4). Engineering staff state that an LOS "F" exists on the project portion of Industrial
Boulevard. The widening requirements of Industrial Boulevard to mitigate the LOS
"F" on the segment south of freeway ramps to "L" Street can be deferred. However, if
the use is extended beyond the one year proposed, a more in-depth traffic study of
impacts on Industrial Boulevard will have to be performed. That study must include,
but not be limited to, intersection analysis to focus on the most effective method to
eliminate the level of service problem.
5). Possible mitigation might include, in addition to widening, signalization of the
freeway ramps.
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project will not have a significant
environmental effect, 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.

Comments: A traffic study performed by Darnell and Associates, Inc. concluded that an
LOS (Level of Service) of "F" exists on Industrial Boulevard, from "L" Street south to the
on! off ramps. The widening requirements of Industrial Boulevard to mitigate LOS "F" on
the segment south of freeway ramps to "L" Street can be deferred. However, if the use is
extended beyond the one year proposed, a more in-depth traffic study of impacts on
Industrial Boulevard will have to be performed. That study must include, but not be
limited to, intersection analysis to focus on the most effective method to eliminate the level
of service problem. The study also indicates that traffic flows on Industrial Boulevard at
project location are at 126% of capacity and are projected to reach 136% of capacity in the
short term future. A 7-foot dedication and street improvements are required along the "L"
Street frontage. These improvements will bring "L" Street up to Class I Collector and
General Plan Standards, Since this project is designated as a temporary use, the applicant can
request deferral of the above conditions through the Engineering Division of the Public
Works Department. The site should be paved to provide designated parking spaces and
maximize the number of spaces on-site. Also, paving will facilitate proper circulation
within the project. Existing driveway will need to be removed and a new commercial width
driveway installed. This new driveway must be aligned with Woodlawn Avenue. Possible
mitigation might include, in addition to widening, signalization of the freeway ramps.
VII. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, sensitive species, species of 0 0 0 181
concern or species that are candidates for
listing?
b) Locally designated species (e.g" heritage 0 0 0 181

The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must be able to
respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5
minutes or less in 75% of the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that
this threshold standard will be met, since the nearest fire station is 1.5 miles away
and would be associated with a 4 minute response time. The proposed project
will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The Fire Department requires applicant to provide access at locked and
secured driveway at all times. Also, applicant will provide an access gate on east fence line
at proposed location for catering.
b) Police
D
D
D
181
The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of
Priority 1 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to
all Priority 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of
Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to
all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The proposed project will comply with
this Threshold Standard.
Comments: Expected high vehicular and foot traffic with project implementation would
increase the potential for traffic hazards and accidents. High number of
pedestrians crossing the "L" Street/Industrial Boulevard trolley line would
create a hazard since the trolley does not stop at that crossing. Proposed
parking area open to any foot traffic lends itself to petty theft, burglary,
robbery and possible auto theft. There is no indication of parking lot fencing
or the level of security provided.

XIX. PROJECT REVISIONS OR MITIGATION MEASURES:
The following project revisions or mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project
and will be implemented during the design, construction or operation of the project:
1). The site should be paved to provide designated parking spaces and maximize the
number of spaces on-site. Also, paving will facilitate proper circulation within the project.
2). Existing driveway will need to be removed and a new commercial width driveway
installed. This new driveway must be aligned with Woodlawn Avenue.). A 7-foot
dedication and street improvements are required along the "L" Street frontage. These
improvements will bring "L" Street up to Class I Collector and General Plan Standards.
Since this project is designated as a temporary use, the applicant can request deferral of the
above conditions through the Engineering Division of the Public Works Department.
3). An LOS "F" exists on the project portion of Industrial Boulevard. The widening
requirements of Industrial Boulevard to mitigate LOS "F" on the segment south of
freeway ramps to "L" Street can be deferred. However, if the use is extended beyond the
one year proposed, a more in-depth traffic study of impacts on Industrial Boulevard will
have to be performed. That study must include, but not be limited to, intersection
analysis to focus on the most effective method to eliminate the level of service problem.
4). Since this project is designated as a temporary use, the widening of Industrial
Boulevard to mitigate LOS "F" on the segment south of freeway ramps to "L" Street can
be deferred. However, if the use is extended beyond the one year proposed, a more in-
depth traffic study of impacts on Industrial Boulevard will have to be performed. That
study must include, but not be limited to, intersection analysis to focus on the most
effective method to eliminate the level of service problem.
5). Possible mitigation might include, in addition to widening, signalization of the
freeway ramps.

XXI. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the 0
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the 181
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 0
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the 0
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 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it
must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

Chula Vista businessman Victor Joseph and partners propose to lease two
contiguous vacant parcels of land totaling 144,000 square feet located at 690 L
Street, at the southeast corner of L Street and Industrial Boulevard in Chula
Vista, They plan to open the Chula Vista Marketplace, an outdoor market for
the resale of used items, sale of new items, fresh produce, and flowers. An
application for a Conditional Use Permit for the Chula Vista Marketplace was
filed with the City of Chula Vista on July 24, 1996.
The 100,000 square foot concrete-surfaced parcel, located along the San
Diego Trolley line, will be used for sales from an outdoor market. The
adjacent 44,000 square foot crushed gravel parcel immediately to the east will
be used for parking for 150 shoppers, Additional paved parking south of and
to the rear of an existing warehouse has been made available by the property
owner for vendor parking.
A Conditional Use Permit for an interim period of 12-18 months is
requested in order to allow Mr, Joseph to develop a parcel unused for the past
eight years, This project is estimated to bring annual proceeds to the City of
Chula Vista from sales tax estimated in excess of $100,000. Moderate revenue
will accrue to the City from the sale of approximately 500 business licenses,
An added benefit will be increased visitors to the L Street/Industrial
Boulevard area,
JJrvpert'Y descrlptien
San Diego Trolley's lines lie to the immediate west of the property. Penske
Truck rentals is to the west, across Industrial Boulevard. San Diego Pallets'
outdoor pallet storage are to the immediate south, The Ratner Clothes
warehouse is to the southeast. Paved parking for medical offices is to the
distant east, and moderate income apartments are located across L Street to
the north, A traffic signal is at Industrial Boulevard and L Street. The
property is currently vacant. It is zoned I-L (Industrial-Light).
The Chula Vista Marketplace is anticipated to be less invasive than other
permitted I-L uses such as minor auto repair and exterminating services or
conditional uses such as auto engine rebuilding or hazardous waste facilities,
The land use as an outdoor marketplace will have little, if any, negative
impact on businesses in the immediate area. It is in keeping with that of the
discount grocery store and discount office supply warehouse just east of the
property, and truck leasing company west of the property.
Venders
Approximately 220 vendor stalls, 130 square feet each, will be located in
the 100,000 square foot site, With vendors using approximately three stalls
each, approximately 80 vendors are estimated to use the premises,

t!vur-s vf Oper-ativn
The Chula Vista Marketplace is proposed to be open from 7:00 am-3:00 pm
one weekday, Saturdays, and Sundays. Approximately 15 employees will
arrive approximately two hours before opening and remain two hours after
closing, Approximately one-third of the vendors (25-30 vehicles) will begin
arriving at 5:00 a,m. The remainder will arrive prior to the Marketplace
opening at 7:00 a,m., with peak arrival expected to occur between 6:00 a.m.
and 7:00 a,m, The property will be returned to clean condition each day upon
its being closed to the public, Less extensive use of the property is anticipated
on the weekday opening than during weekends, During the Christmas
holiday season, the project applicants request permission to operate seven
days a week. The Marketplace will generally be closed on rainy days.
Impr-()vements
The vacant lot's debris and weeds were cleared in the last 30 days, thereby
improving the site's appearance dramatically, Uneven concrete paving will
be ground down, No permanent structures will be installed. Plans to request
a permit for a mobile office trailer will be delayed pending a decision
regarding approval/ disapproval of the land use by the Planning Commission.
If approved, the applicant will attempt to gather the following information
requested on October 28 by Planning Department staff regarding a mobile
office trailer (aka "commercial coach"):
· color elevations showing the view from L Street and the trolley line
· color photographs from the manufacturer
. depictions of handicapped ramping, awnings, and skirting around the base
. professionally-prepared elevations
A mobile office trailer would assist in the success of the project. It would be
open during operating hours,
A sign program in compliance with Oty guidelines for an l-L zone will be
proposed at a later date,
Attractive, mounded landscaping will be installed using drought-resistant
plants and trees along a 10-foot strip along approximately 135 feet of the sales
area frontage on L Street. A decorative six-foot high wrought iron fence with
decorative pilasters every 20 feet will be installed between the landscaped area
and the sales area fronting L Street, with 40-foot returns at each corner,
Existing chain link fencing in dilapidated condition will be repaired
and/ or replaced. A 30-foot chain link gate will be located along the east fence
for vendor vehicle access before and after business hours, and for visitor
access between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm.

Sales and Admlsslvns
The Chula Vista Marketplace combines the resale of used items, sale of
new items, and sale of fresh produce and flowers, New revenue will be
generated for the property owner, the project's proponents, and the Gty of
Chula Vista, Tight control will be maintained over items sold: no tobacco
products, drug paraphernalia, or tasteless tee shirts will be permitted for sale;
no alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the premises. In response to the
concern expressed by the Civil Engineer on October 25 that a vendor might
display an item such as a flashing light that could distract trolley drivers, the
applicant will ensure that no such distraction is permitted in the sales area,
Food concessions will be available in the sales area. Access for food
concessionaires will be made available via the 3D-foot access gate near the
warehouse.
Admission will be established at 5D~ per person, free to senior citizens.
There is no charge for parking. Fundraising organizations will be given free
stalls throughout the year.

In response 1:D Planning Department request for a traffic study, the
results of a study commissioned by the applicant with Darnell & Associates,
Inc., a transportation planning and traffic engineering firm, was delivered to
the Chula Vista Planning Department 0 n October 23, MTDB returned a "no
comment" response to Planning staff, The following traffic issues were
surveyed in response to concerns raised by Caltrans and by Gty Engineering
Departmen t:
· impacts on the 1-5 ramp
· pedestrian circulation across the trolley tracks, and
· site circula tion and ingress/egress.
Darnell & Associates determined that the possibility of traffic queues on
ramps at 1-5 north and south were remote, Considering the lack of facilities at
L Street for boarding the trolley, and considering adjacent sparsely developed
industrial zoned land uses that depend primarily on vehicular access, Darnell
& Associates concluded that very little pedestrian activity is anticipated to
cross the trolley racks, An abandoned Caltrans' Park and Ride lot at the
northwest corner of L Street and Industrial Boulevard is not part of the
Marketplace project. Darnell & Associates concluded that since the applicant
is providing sufficient, convenient, and free on-site parking, there would be
no incentive for customers to park off-site at this location,
The applicant's initial plans to relocate the existing west driveway directly
across Colorado Avenue were dropped after discussions with Gty staff on
October 25, 1996 regarding permitting requirements for this improvement.

Instead, since this driveway is not proposed for use by Marketplace shoppers,
it will be blocked during sales periods, An existing driveway just west of the
medical facility will be used in its current condition for both ingress and
egress. Vendors leaving the sales area earlier than the close of the
Marketplace will use an entrance/exit at the southeast corner of the
Marketplace, This entrance/exit will also be available for customers who
need vehicular assistance in transporting heavy items,
Public vehicular traffic will use the easternmost L Street driveway,
Approximately 150 visitor parking spaces are planned for the 44,000 square
foot property east of the sales area, This property currently has a crushed
gravel surface, If required, the applicant is prepared to treat the top one inch
of this surface with SC-250 asphalt road oil,
Traffic will be circulated at Marketplace employees' direction in order to
prevent stacking on L Street and/or congestion in the parking area, and to
prevent shoppers from parking in medical facility spaces. Parking for
handicapped visitors will be located as close to the sales entrance as possible,
The number of vehicular trips on weekends is anticipated at three times the
number of parking spaces provided for visitors, doubled for entry and exit,
plus a single entry and single exit for each vendor. Trips will be fewer on
weekdays. Peak traffic demand periods are anticipated for 6:30 am-8:30 am
and 11:00 am-12:30 pm,
Minor impact is anticipated on am and pm weekday commuter traffic on L
Street. Traffic will be coordinated with the Chula Vista Police
Department. Marketplace employees will provide on-site traffic direction
and security, Security and traffic control personnel (possibly off-duty law
enforcement officers) will monitor parking, keeping it away from parking
designated for the adjacent medical offices,
Pedestrian access to the sales area is via a 3D-foot chain link gate along the
east fence of the sales property. There is no pedestrian access along the L
Street frontage,

program, Trash will be picked up by Laidlaw Waste Systems on Mondays.
The following bins will be provided at the southern end of the sales parcel:
. central refuse, recycling, and waste collection areas for recyclable and
non-recyclable waste;
· yard waste bins for landscaping, flowers, and vegetables; and
· mixed paper bin for corrugated cardboard and paper, if needed
Refuse and recycling containers will be placed side-by-side throughout the
sales area and at all exits, Signs encouraging recycling and discouraging litter
will be posted.

The Conditional Use Permit application was reviewed over the past three
months by the Planning Department. On October 28, 1996, the applicant
received a Planning Department request for the following information:
. a revised project description (clarifying the maximum number of vendors
vs. the number of stalls, the interim period of maintaining this land use,
phasing of improvements, and hours of operation),
. a revised site plan (indicating boundaries of market operations and
parking, conclusions of the traffic study, locations of gates, fencing,
landscaping), and
. information of a sign program if not in compliance with the I-L Zone,
The memo indicated that they needed this information in two days, by
October 30, 1996, in order to schedule a public hearing before the Planning
Commission on November 13, 1996, The applicant noted with concern that
despite providing most of the requested information, staff's position on this
project will be to recommend its denial because of its inappropriate land use
at a "gateway" to the City,
It is the applicant's hope that Chula Vista's Planning Department could
appreciate the value of this land use and the intent of the applicant to
remediate difficulties as they occur, Furthermore, the applicant hopes that
the Planning Commission on November 13, 1996, and the Redevelopment
Agency (as shortly thereafter as possible) will recognize the advantages of
keeping improvement costs low to an applicant whose plans are interim use
oriented. A facilitated consideration of the project could further render the
following improvements and potential for this use:
. an already-improved visual perspective of the sales area, free
of debris and litter, to be landscaped and attractively fenced;
. the opportunity to bring new revenues estimated at $100,000
annually to the City;
. increased visi tors to the area of the proposed project;
· no-cost fundraising opportunities for service organizations; and
. the opportunity to welcome a good business member to the City.

Meeting Date 11/13/96
PUBLIC HEARING: PCS-96-06 - Consideration of a tentative subdivision map known as Vista Del
Mar, Chula Vista Tract 96-06 in order to subdivide 3.46 acres located at the
northwest quadrant of Del Mar Avenue and "C" Street. Dan Irwin
The applicant, Dan Irwin, has submitted an application for a tentative subdivision map known as
Vista Del Mar in order to subdivide 3.46 acres located on the westerly side of Del Mar Avenue
bctween Nixon Place and Shirley Street into 15 single family detached lots in the R-1-7 zone, (See
Locator Exhibit A),
The Environmental Review Coordinator conducted an Initial Study, IS-96-33, of potential
environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the project, Based on the attached
Initial Study and comments thereon, the Coordinator has concluded that there would be no
significant environmental impacts and recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration issued on
IS-96-33,
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached Resolution PCS.96-06 recommending that the City Council approve the proposal
in accordance with the attached draft City Council Resolution based on the findings and subject to
the conditions contained therein,
DISCUSSION:
L Existinl! Site Characteristics
The project site is rectangularly shaped and consists of two parcels having a total 3.46 acres (3,713
gross acres) with an existing single family dwelling located on the northerly 1.66 acre parcel. The
southerly parcel is vacant and contains 1.80 acres, Topographically, the property slopes downward
from an elevation of 90 feet to 84 feet southerly along Del Mar Avenue to an elevation of 50 feet
at the southwesterly corner and 43 feet at the northwesterly corner. The average natural slope of the
site is 8% with a maximum slope of 20 %, The site also contains a number of trees which will have
to be removed, The properties in the immediate area are generally 7000 sq, ft in size and range
upward from 6000 sq, ft. in size,

Meeting Date 11/13/96
3, Proposed Subdivision
The developer proposes to remove the single family dwelling and subdivide the property into 15 lots
served by a single cul-de-sac street (Vista Del Mar Court) located between Nixon Place and Shirley
Street. Three lots will face Del Mar Avenue, with the rest of the lots gaining access from the cul-de-
sac, except for two panhandle lots proposed on the north side of the property which will be served
by a 20 foot wide access easement. Three guest parking spaces are provided for the two panhandle
lots in accordance with the code, The lot sizes range from a minimum of 6000 sq, ft, (4 lots) to
11,515 sq, ft, in keeping with the typical lot sizes in the immediate area, The R-1 zone allows 30%
of the lots to be 6000 sq, ft, in size, Because of the topography and proposed grading, a number of
low profile retaining walls (2' to 5' in height) are proposed in order to provide adequate pad area
to accommodate a structure,
ANALYSIS
The proposed development meets the minimum lot size and other requirements of the R-I zone and
Subdivision Manual development guidelines, The code does not require any fencing for single family
development, however, there is some concern regarding the private access drive to the two
panhandle lots, The access has a ten percent grade which is relatively steep but acceptable, In
addition, there is a downslope on the west side of the driveway, In order to provide a visual
demarcation, fencing should be provided on both sides of the driveway, It is recommended that said
fencing be decorative in nature and substantial in construction to minimize its maintenance,
Another area of concern would be fencing along the top of slope on the westerly end of thc
subdivision, Any fencing contemplated on those properties should have the ability to provide access
to the downslope for maintenance, In the case of rctaining walls over 4 feet in height, the developer
should provide the ability to gct to the top of wall for maintenance of the slopes, Approval of the
tentative should be conditioned to addrcss the aforementioned concern,

XXI. DETERMINATII.....:
. On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the 181
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared,
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the 0
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 0
an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but 0
at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuani 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,

RE: IS-96-33/ FA-700 / DQ-306
Applicant: Dan Irwin of Dbl. D. Del Mar
Project: 15 SFD at 142 Del Mar Avenue
Dear Ms, Reid:
This is to advise you that the project proposed for 142 Del Mar Avenue is within the
Chula Vista Elementary School District which serves children from Kindergarten
through Grade 6, Rosebank School is the home school for this project.
District enrollment has been increasing at the rate of approximately 1 - 2 percent
over the past several years, and this is projected to continue, Permanent capacity
has been exceeded at many schools and temporary relocatable classrooms are
being utilized to accommodate increased enrollments, The District also buses
students outside their attendance areas, both to accommodate growth and assist in
achieving ethnic balance,
State law currently provides for a developer fee of $1,84 per square foot of
assessable area to assist in financing facilities needed to serve growth, The fee is
split between the two school districts with our District receiving
$ ,81/sq, ft, and Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) receiving $1,03/sq,
ft, This fee is assessed for new residential construction and additions/remodels of
over 500 square feet.
If you have any questions, please contact this office,
Sincerely,
~~
