RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA CONSIDERING ADDENDUM TO
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT UPD#83356-EIR-
65B/SCH#2005081077, MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS AND
APPROVING THE AMENDED 2005 GENERAL PLAN AND
LAND USE PLAN OF THE LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM
AND DIRECTING STAFF TO FORWARD THE SAME TO THE
CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the land area that is covered by the Bayfront Local Coastal Program (LCP)
and the particular property that is the subject matter of this resolution is represented in Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the property that is the subject of the proposed amendment is located at 789
E Street, consists of two legal lots comprising approximately 4.81 acres in area and is located on
Bay Boulevard north of E Street, between the SDG&E Right of Way and the Interstate 5
freeway, and is designated and labeled in the LCP as Parcel 1 a; and
WHEREAS, California State law requires that coastal cities adopt a LCP and said LCP
must be certified by the California Coastal Commission before the LCP can become effective
and implemented by the local jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the LCP is composed of a Land Use Plan and a Specific Plan; and
WHEREAS, in 2012 the City of Chula Vista (City) and the San Diego Unified Port
District (Port District), in a collaborative effort with the community approved and adopted the
California Coastal Commission -certified LCP and in September 2015 made some minor
amendments to the LCP, which is the LCP that is currently in effect today; and
WHEREAS, in January 2015 the development firm of Land Developers and Associates
Corporation (LDA), operating under the name of City of Chula Vista Property, LLC (Property
Owner), and owner of the property located at 789 E Street, submitted an application to amend the
General Plan and the LCP; and
WHEREAS, said application proposes to change the 2005 General Plan land use
designation for the subject site from Professional & Office to Commercial Visitor and the LCP
Land Use Plan/Specific Plan zoning designation from Commercial - Professional and
Administrative to Commercial - Visitor Limited (Amendment); and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes do not cause substantial changes to the objectives,
policies, and regulations contained in the documents nor the Coastal Act policies; and
Resolution No. 2017-221
Page No. 2
WHEREAS, the proposed changes to the General Plan and LCP documents are included
in Exhibit B attached to this Resolution and are hereby made a part hereof by this reference; and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed Amendment
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the Amendment was covered in previously adopted Environmental Impact Report UPD#83356-
EIR-65B/SCH#2005081077 (the "FEIR"). The Development Services Director has determined
that only minor technical changes or additions to this document are necessary and that none of
the conditions described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the
preparation of a subsequent document have occurred; therefore, the Development Services
Director has prepared an Addendum to the FEIR; and
WHEREAS, the Development Services Director set the time and place for a hearing of
the Planning Commission on the proposed General Plan and LCP Amendment, and notice of said
hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City and its mailing to property owners within the exterior boundaries of the
LCP Area, at least 10 days prior to the hearing; and
WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely 6:00 p.m.,
October 25, 2017, in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning
Commission and the hearing was thereafter closed; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered all reports, evidence, and testimony
presented at the public hearing with respect to the draft 2005 General Plan and LCP Amendment
and Addendum; and
WHEREAS at said public hearing the Planning Commission recommended through a
vote of 5-0-0-2 that the City Council approve the Resolution considering the Addendum to the
FEIR, make the findings contained therein, and approve the Amendment to the 2005 General
Plan and LCP Land Use Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk set the time and place for a hearing of the City Council on the
proposed 2005 General Plan and LCP Amendment, and notice of said hearing, together with its
purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and its
mailing to property owners within the exterior boundaries of the LCP Area, at least ten days
prior to the hearing; and
WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely on
December 5, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, located at 276 Fourth Avenue,
before the City Council and said hearing was thereafter closed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered all reports, evidence, and testimony presented
at the public hearing with respect to the Addendum and 2005 General Plan and LCP
Amendment.
I. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby find and determine as follows:
Resolution No. 2017-221
Page No. 3
A. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
That the proposed project has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City Council has determined that the project was
covered in previously adopted Environmental Impact Report UPD#83356-EIR-
65B/SCH#2005081077. The City Council has further determined that only minor
technical changes or additions to the FEIR are necessary and that none of the conditions
described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a
subsequent document have occurred; therefore, consistent with section 15164 of the State
CEQA Guidelines the City Council has considered the Addendum to Environmental
Impact Report UPD#83356-EIR-65B/SCH#2005081077.
B. GENERAL PLAN AND COASTAL ACT CONSISTENCY:
That the proposed amendment to the 2005 General Plan and Local Coastal Program,
consisting of the Land Use Plan (LUP) and Specific Plan (SP), is consistent with the City
of Chula Vista General Plan and the policies of the Coastal Act. The proposed changes
to the LUP and SP are minor and unsubstantial and leave all of the provisions of the LUP
and SP intact. With the changes in place the provisions of the documents are still based
on sound planning principles and practices that will provide for the protection and
conservation of sensitive natural resources. The proposed changes to the land use and
zoning designations affect only the property located at 789 E Streets and the rest of the
properties within the LCP area will remain unchanged. Furthermore, the rest of the
development standards and regulations, such as building height, setbacks, Floor Area
Ratio and lot coverage, as well as others, will remain the same and will continue to
regulate the future development of the site. The proposed changes are consistent with the
goals and objectives of the 2005 General Plan and LCP. The proposed changes will
contribute to open up and provide more direct access to the Bayfront and create better
connection to the rest of the city and the region. This will open up the Bayfront for the
enjoyment of residents and visitors. The new provisions of the General Plan and LUP
and SP will be conducive to the development of the Bayfront and the creation of a world-
class destination for residents and visitors.
II. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby adopt the Proposed 2005 General Plan and LCP Amendment contained in a document
known as Local Coastal Program Amendment attached to this Resolution and incorporated
herein by this reference.
III. SUBMISSION TO COASTAL COMMISSION
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council does hereby certify after a duly
called and duly noticed public hearing that the LCP is intended to be carried out in a manner
fully in conformity with the California Coastal Act of 1976 (Public Resources Code Section
30510(a)).
Resolution No. 2017-221
Page No. 4
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council finds that the LCP complies with
the guidelines established by the California Coastal Commission and contains materials
sufficient for a thorough and complete review (Public Resources Code Section 30510(b)).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that after a duly called and noticed public hearing the
City Council does hereby direct the City Manager or his designee to submit this subject
Resolution and the LCP, consisting of both the LUP and the SP, to the California Coastal
Commission and that the Coastal Commission certify the same (Public Resources Code Section
30514).
