square-foot building with a 4,185 square-foot covered entryway for
supportive uses to include a vehicle collision and automotive repair
facility on approximately 2.2 acres located at 1880 Auto Park Place.

REVIEWED BY: Felly Broughton,Director of Development Services
INTRODUCTION
r
3
On August 20, 2019, the applicant submitted a Design Review permit for approval of the noted j
vehicle collision and automotive repair facility project. The use, as proposed, will serve a
regional market demand in addition to the already established demand of patrons and visitors to
the Chula Vista area. The site is currently vacant(see Locator Map, Attachment 1).
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project was
adequately covered in previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-02-005), for the
Chula Vista Auto Park North Specific Plan. Thus, no further environmental review is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution DR19-0025 approving the project, based on the
findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
Project Site Characteristics:
The 2.2-acre project site is located in the southwestern portion of Chula Vista. The site is located
atop of a mesa with a relatively flat pad for the building location at the midpoint. There is a steep
slope near the entrance along Auto Park Place and along the west and northern end of the

ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Chula Vista Municipal Code and Chula Vista Design Manual
Site Planning and Building Placement/Orientation
The Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) includes guidelines and standards for industrial uses.
The guidelines promote site building placement, access, site design, sitting and orientation,
setbacks, and enhanced building elevations. The proposed features throughout the site meet the
intent of the Industrial Design Guidelines as described below.
The Project provides a building that is setback from Auto Park Place and provides an enhanced
landscape buffer along the frontage, The building will include enhanced fenestration of window
glazing along the frontage of Auto Park Place and will conceal roll up doors toward the middle
and rear of the building. The building architecture complements the adjacent buildings within the
area for a similar yet unique design.
While pedestrian access is a design feature in the Chula Vista Industrial Design Guidelines,
increased vehicular access is also important in order to offer a variety of ways to access different
areas. Dispersion of automobile traffic also has the effect of making areas more pedestrian
friendly as cars and pedestrians have less direct interaction. The project provides a one-way entry
for both vehicle and pedestrian ingress/egress access to the site. The entrance is located. along
Auto Park Place, north of Main Street. Internal circulation is designed for one-way access and
designed for traffic to circulate counterclockwise around the building.
Building Designn
The Chula Vista Industrial Design Guidelines promote: A high duality innovative and
imaginative architecture, Buildings should he designed to employ variations in form, building
details and siting in order to create visual interest.
The project's architecture is consistent with the policies of the Chula Vista Industrial Design
Guidelines. The industrial architecture is designed to incorporate a functional style for the
proposed uses by incorporating a metal panel fagade, corrugated metal roof, and vertical metal
side panels with enhanced window glazing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant proposes a multi-family development made up of 12 residential buildings, along
with a club house, pool,parking and open space. Located on two lots within and adjacent to the
Village 8 West Town Center, the Project provides 284 rental apartment units within walking
distance to future commercial and transit.
Site Design
The Project is designed to help frame the west side of the Town Square with four-story buildings
and landscaping along La Media Parkway. Buildings fronting Maui Street and La Media Parkway
are set as close to the street as possible to enhance the urban form and character and to encourage
interaction between building activities and passersby. Planter walls, seating opportunities, and
massing elements at corners create spaces that are appealing and identifiable.
At the northeast corner of the site (La Media Parkway and Main Street), Building 2 steps back to
provide a pedestrian plaza with a large(72"box) shade tree, a small public gathering space and a
seat wall. This feature provides a unique spot that helps orient pedestrians,bicyclists and drivers
within the Town Center.
The southern end of Building 2 also opens up to an"Entertainment Plaza"with two barbecue grills,
decorative paving, low theme walls and festive string lights.
Lots I and J share common facilities,parking and access. On-site amenities include:
■ Clubhouse/leasing office features a demonstration kitchen, television/lounge areas, and i
game areas
• Fitness center with yoga/spin
• `WeWork'-style multipurpose area
• Resort-style swimming pool with spa, shade areas, outdoor lounge with barbecues, lawn
and garden areas
• Sky deck(Building 2)
• Tot lot
• Dog park i
i
• Mail center with parcel package center '
• Bicycle storage
Site Plan Elements
Pedestrians can access Buildings 1 & 2 from entrances facing the 10' Regional Trail along La
Media Parkway. Building 1 also has a pedestrian entrance on Via Estancia. Meandering paths
accented with benches, lighting and landscaping are provided between buildings and through the
Project, These walkways allow residents to pass through the Project to the Town Center(future)
shopping/dining/transit/recreation areas.

Site Design Elements
The Town Center concept is the most critical component in implementing Village 8 West's
identity. The building form is required to be pedestrian-scale and visually interesting. In a
pedestrian scaled urban environment,buildings play the primary role in defining pedestrian spaces
including sidewalks,plazas,and courtyards.Fostering pedestrian activity along interior circulation
corridors is critical to the interactive, urban nature of the Town Center. Interior circulation
corridors,including major commercial streets and pedestrian pathways are a major setting for daily
living within the community. These outdoor mixed-use settings shall provide a comfortable,
pedestrian atmosphere and activate the overall street scene for aesthetic, pedestrian, and
commercial interest.
Prominent Edges
Enhanced elevations are provided along the surrounding streets. The Project has
`Prominent Edges' along La Media Parkway and eastbound Main Street,where four-story
buildings frame the street edges to form complete streets. The primary entry to the Project
is designed on Via Estancia, with an entry monument, a low seat wall, and landscaping.
Well-articulated, identifiable pedestrian access points are also located at the driveway
entrances on La Media Parkway and Main Street, along with enhanced landscape and
lighting.

Architecture
The architectural style for the Project is Contemporary European Farmhouse. In accordance with
the Town Center Design Fundamentals in the SPA Plan, architectural elements have been chosen
which create visual interest with light and shadow.The use of fiber cement board and batten siding
with off-white stucco and stone veneer,as well as gable-style composite shingle roofs with dormer-
like accents and metal balcony and lighting details, are characteristic of the Farmhouse style.
The buildings define the street edge, public plazas, and pedestrian spaces to create quality
pedestrian environments and opportunities for social gathering. Building entries and common
areas remain the primary emphasis of the public street elevation while parking is located to the
rear of buildings to minimize the visual impact of parking lots on the public streetscape. Building
mass and differentiation of roof forms,materials,color,and apparent floor heights reduce building
bulk and create variety within the building facade.
The Project follows the SPA Plan's guidelines for Building Form and Relief, providing massing
elements at major corners and project entries, The following elements are included in the Project
and provide architectural relief at the street level: planter walls,outdoor seating,and accent/festive
lighting.
In accordance with the MPP,the buildings within the multi-family project are multiple stories(two
and four stories,with taller architectural elements) and are oriented toward the surrounding streets
and sidewalks.
Landscape Architecture
"s The proposed planting palette works within the landscape guidelines for the Village 8 West Town
Center and enhances the Project's contemporary agrarian-themed architecture. The Project meets `
current-water efficient guidelines and will comply with the City's Landscape Water Conservation
Ordinance, €
CONCLUSION
i
The proposed multi-family project is a permitted land use, pursuant to the Village 8 West SPA
Plan. The Project complies with the policies, guidelines and design standards for the Village 8
West SPA Plan, its Form-Based Code, the MPP, and related documents; therefore, staff
i
recommends the Planning Commission approve Design Review Permit,DR 19-0019,subject to the
conditions listed in the attached Resolution. !
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Planning Commission members and has found no
property holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this
action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial
conflict of interest under Califomia Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for
purposes of the Political Reform Act(Cal. Gov't Code §87100, et seq.).

ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: Consideration of Transportation Study
Guidelines which implement the requirements of Senate Bill 743,including
using Vehicle Miles Traveled to determine the significance of a project's
transportation impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act.
Resolution of the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission Finding that
the Chula Vista Transportation Study Guidelines(TSG)are Consistent with
the Legislative Intent of Senate Bill 743 and Referring the Chula Vista TSG
to the City Council for Adoption.
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Barker, Transportation Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Kelly Broughton, Director of Development Services
INTRODUCTION
On September 27, 2413, Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 743 into law, changing
how transportation impacts are analyzed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).The primary change eliminates the Level of Service(LDS)methodology for determining
significant impacts and replaces it with an analysis of Vehicle Miles Traveled(VMT). The City is
required to implement the new transportation impact analysis procedures by July 1, 2020. Staff
has retained Fehr & Peers, a consulting firm with SB 743 experience, to manage a team that
includes legal counsel and CEQA expertise, to assist the City in drafting new VMT guidelines.
The attached Transportation Study Guidelines{TSG}document has been prepared to assist project
applicants, consultants, and staff conducting CEQA review by providing standardized methods
that are supported by substantial evidence to analyze a project's transportation impacts in
accordance with SB 743,
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a
"Project"as defined under Section 1.5378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result

and/or the distance of trips and may include measures such as Transportation Demand
Management(TDM),improved access to transit, and improved active transportation modes.
OVERVIEW OF THE TRANSPORTATION STUDY GC.TIDELINES
Some Implications of VMT
To the extent that VMT mitigation shifts project trips outside of peak commuting hours and/or to
other travel modes,there will likely be benefits to traffic congestion as well as VMT.However,VMT
mitigation will not specifically address LOS, and therefore delay and congestion resulting from a
project will not necessarily be improved through CEQA mitigation. Other VMT mitigation, such as
narrowing or removing lanes to install nonmotorized facilities, will reduce capacity and worsen
vehicle LOS. Over time, the transportation network may evolve from an arterial network built
primarily for cars into a multi-modal network intended to move people, not just vehicles. Vehicle
travel speeds may be reduced while walking and bicycling may become safer and more attractive.
VMT Analysis Procedures
Consistent with the OPR Technical Advisory, the TSG presents methods to determine whether
projects require CEQA review of transportation impacts. Development in a low VMT generating E
area, small projects, certain developments near transit facilities, and other types of projects may
be presumed to have a less than significant impact to transportation and are therefore not subject
to a detailed VMT analysis(i.e. screened out). Attachments 2 and 3 are screening maps for VMT
per resident(which is used to screen residential projects) and VMT per employee (which is used
to screen certain employment-based projects),respectively.
Projects not meeting the screening criteria must determine the VMT impacts of the proposal.VMT '
- ... impact analysis considers both the direct and induced VMT resulting from the project. The TSG
implements significance thresholds for various types of projects and, in general, projects with
VMT that.exceeds 85 percent of the citywide or regional VMT average would be considered to
have significant transportation impacts.Mitigation is aimed at reducing the number of trips and/or
the distance of trips, and may include measures such as TDM, improved access to transit, and
improved active transportation modes.
Local Mobility Analysis(LMA)
LOS may no longer be used for CEQA transportation analyses under SB 743. However, LOS
remains a valuable tool for measuring traffic congestion that is familiar to citizens, stakeholders,
and the development community. The TSG includes methods for preparing a Local Mobility
Analysis, which considers the effects of the project on LOS within a limited study area. As
provided in the LMA, projects will be required to develop or contribute toward operational
improvements to alleviate traffic congestion. This approach is consistent with the Guidelines for
Transportation Impact Studies in the San Diego Region and the draft VMT implementation in the
City of San Diego.
