I. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
That the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed Project for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
proposed Project was adequately covered by existing Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program IS00-03, adopted by the Chula Vista City
Council on October 28, 1999, and therefore, no further environmental review is required.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista
that it hereby makes the following findings:
II. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. That the proposed use at this 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 commercial uses are desirable at this location in that they will increase the
variety of uses available to residents within the surrounding Eastlake Community. The uses
will contribute to the general well-being of the community by providing the convenience
of a variety of uses within proximity to both residents and visitors of the area, which may
enhance the value of existing housing and generate less vehicular trips.
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 orientation and placement of the buildings will provide visual buffering from all sides,
including from Otay Lakes Road to the south. A parking study and shared parking analysis
have been provided to ensure there is adequate parking available during all hours of
operation.
The Project has been conditioned to ensure that any significant changes to proposed uses
or hours of operation will require additional parking analysis to be performed prior to
permitting for any additional tenant improvement permits. The proposed use will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the residents or to property or
improvements in the area. The characteristics of the proposed use, and its operation will not
have detrimental effects since the Project is located within a Business Park zone and is
surrounded by other commercial and industrial uses to the north, west and east of the property.
The use will be subject to meeting all health, safety and general welfare standards and
regulations set forth by the City.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
code for such use.
The granting of this Conditional Use Permit is conditioned to require the Applicant and
Property Owner to fulfill its conditions of approval and to comply with all applicable
PC Resolution CUP 18-0032
Page 3
regulations and standards specified in the Municipal Code, and the California Building,
Fire and other applicable codes, for such use. These conditions will be enforced through
building plan review, inspections prior to occupancy of the use and subsequent operation
of the business. Furthermore, the conditions of this permit are approximately in proportion
to the nature and extent of the impact created by the project in that the conditions imposed
are directly related to, and of a nature and scope related to the size and impact of the Project.
The Project will comply with all regulations and conditions specified in the Eastlake
Business Center II SPA, Design Standards outlined in the Eastlake Business Center II
Design Guidelines and Zoning Code for uses established under CUP18-0032.
4. That the granting of the Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City, or the adopted plan of any government agency.
This Conditional Use Permit is in compliance with the General Plan and Chula Vista
Municipal Code (CVMC). Section 1: General Provisions of the Eastlake II Planned
Community District Regulations lists the proposed uses covered under this Master
Conditional Use Permit as conditionally permitted uses subject to the granting of a CUP
by the Planning Commission and does not adversely affect any adopted plans of any
government agencies, as this Project is within the jurisdiction of the City of Chula Vista.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission, based on the findings
above, hereby approves the Conditional Use Permit, CUP18-0032, subject to the following
conditions:
III. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
