ADDENDUM
£IR-83-2
EL RANCHO DEL RE¥
Prepared in Accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines
Section 1. Introduction
This addendum to the EnvirOnmental Impact Report for the E1 Rancho .
del Rey Specific Plan (EIR-82-2) is intended to'determine if the development
of the subject propert~ could result in an9 significant environmental impacts
that were not evaluated in the previous EIR.
Section 2. Project Description
The property is a vacant 9 1/2 acre site located on the north side of
East 'N' Street, &ust west of the proposed extension of Buena Vista Way. The
~=--site is at approximately the same elevation as East 'N' Street and dropping
some 75 feet into a canyon floor at the north end.
The applicant is proposing to develop a church sanctuary of nearly
9,000 sq.ft, having a seating capacity for 435. In addition, a school building
that would accommodate some 700 students, first grade through junior high,
together with a gymnasium, various miscellaneous structures including living
quarters, would constitute a total building area of just over 52,000 sq.ft.
It is the applicant's intent to build this facility in a phased program; Phase I
would consist of the construction of the pre-school and parish hall together
with the storage building and garage and a portion of the parking lot to meet
the City standards; Phase II would involve the construction of the school
excluding the junior high wing, with~he third phase to follow calling for the
construction of the main sanctuary. The fourth and final phase would involve
construction of the gymnasium and junior high wing and the associated atheltic
field shown at the north~end of the property.
Section 3. Analysis
The proposed project is to be deve, loped in accordance with the land use
assumptions for the E1 Rancho del Rey EIR. This site is identified in the now
certified final EIR as a public facilities location, and it was anticipated that
a church type facility would utilize the property.
Subsequent to the preparation of the EIR a more detailed biological
survey was conducted on the site which concluded:
SIGNIFICANT BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The Inland Sage Scrub vegetation, as seen on-site, is considered to be
sensitive due to the extensive destruction of that vegetation type and
because of the 'several sensitive plant or animals often found there.
'~ ~ The Scrub vegetation on-site is of moderate to good quality, based on
the low level of disturbance, and does contain several sensitive plants.
The small size of the site, however, speaks against its sensitivity,
Similarly, the low numbers of coast barrel cacti and lack of young
plants suggests that the population is declining or static in size. It
would be useful if the plants on-site would be salvaged for cultural
..... purposes. Transplantation in the area may be useful, however, receptor
~ sites are becoming filled. One site in Spring Valley is known. That
site should be available in late sp~ing of 1986. _
RECOMttENDED MITIGATION TO REDUCE BIOLOGICAL IMPACT
Due to the small size of the parcel, low numbers of rare plants and
· animals and low sensitivity of those plants and animals, no significant
' biological impacts appear to be associated with this development project;
therefore, ho.mitigation recommendations are made.
All other, impacts associated with this project have been evaluated in
EIR-83-2 and no further environmental review is required.

Environmental Noise Analysis
Athletic Field
Pilgrim Lutheran Church
Chula Vista, California
Introduction
This environmental noise analysis was made to assess the
noise impact of the proposed athletic field, a portion of the
Pilgrim Lutheran Church located on East R Street (Parcel 1,
Chula Vista Map 7416).
The athletic field wil~be located on the most northern
portion of the parcel. It will be used primarily for
baseball and soccer. No formal spectator area is planned nor
will a P.A. system be utilized. Thus, this analysis is based
upon the expected noise from the usual number of participants
and a small group of casual observers.
Adjacent Conditions
At present the adjacent land is zoned Open Space and as
such would not be noise impacted as defined by the Chula
Vista Noise Ordinance. Rowever, changes have been proposed
to the General Plan which could take effect before this
development is consummated. A current proposal (Figure 1)
could result in single family residential development to the
east and multifamily development to the west, with a "park"
to the north and a strip of "open space" between the "park"
and the two residential areas. As a result, this
i
environmental noise analysis was requested to indicate
'~he~her the proposed athletic field .would still be in
conformance with the Chula Vista Noise Ordinance should these
zone changes take effect.
Noise Analysis
The school, which will utilize the proposed athletic
field, will consist of 400 students in grades K through 6.
There are other areas designated as "playgrounds," therefore
it has been assumed that the athletic field will be primarily
used by the older children participating in baseball or
soccer games.
Baseball and softball are not inherently noisy games.
Spectators are the major noise source and the noise level
generated naturally depends upon the number on onlookers and
the excitement of the game.
Soccer also has' its spectator noise but the participants
also contribute to the overall noise. Coaches may shout
instructions from the sidelines and the players may yell
messages to one another during play. Thus, any noise impact
at possible residences will consist of these types of sounds.
In order to quantify t~e above playground noise data
(measured by San Diego Acou~tics, Inc.) from three different
schools is presented as representative of the expected
condition.
Table 1
Noise Levels Measured:at Boundary Fences
of Elementary Schools
No. of Playground Pupil ~ourly
School Pupils Area - f2 Density Leq - dB(A)
1 9 2,700 1/300 ft2 56
2 81 25,000 1/309 ft2 63
3 500 100,000 1/200 ft2 58
I 2
Table 1 contains the noise resulting from elementary
Bchool children playing during recess or lunch hour.
Measurements of the noise resulting from a soccer game
Conducted at Robb Field, in Point Loma, are not included as
automobile traffic noise 160'feet away obscured the soccer
noise. Rowever, it was subjectively concluded that
playground activity (noise) easily exceeded the noise
produced by the soccer game and greatly exceeds that produced
at a baseball game. Thus, utilizing the measured values from
Table 1 t:6 predict the effect of the Pilgrim Church athletic
field noise will result in a conservative conclusion, i.e.
the predicted noise will probably be higher than actually
will occur.
Only the property immediately east and west of baseball
diamond is proposed for residential development (Figure 2).
As the diamond area is potentially the most densely populated
(6 defensive men/women and 3 base runners) it was used as the
major noise source.location. The infield with its 9
participants has an approximate density of 1 person to 300
square feet, matching two of the school playgrounds noted in
Table 1. Averaging the noise levels of schools 1 and 2, a
level of 60 dB(A) would occur at the periphery of the
"diamond." As the source is not a point source, the
reduction with distance would decrease by only 3 dB until one
"diamond" width was reached. Further increases in distance
would result in source leve~s decreasing at a rate of 6 dB
per doubling of distance. Therefore, the noise level of 60
dB(A) (hourly Leq) occurring at the edge of the "diamond"
will be reduced to 49 dB(A) at the western property line and
50 dB(A) at the eastern property line.
The Chula Vista Noise Ordinance states that the
permissible noise limit at the receiving land use category
may not exceed Leq 55 for single family residences and Leq 60
for multiple dwelling residential use, between the hours of 7
AM and 10 PM.
Comparing the calculated noise levels at the western
(proposed multifamily) and the eastern (proposed single
family) boundaries, 49 dB(A) and 50 dB(A), respectively, with
the corresponding Chula Vista limits of 60 and 55, it is seen
that the expected levels wilI'be 11 and 5 dB below the
~rdinance limits.
Conclusions
The proposed athletic field will not result in property
line noise levels which will be in violation of Chula Vista
Noise Ordinance limits, 'even though adjacent zoning may be
changed to include residential usage.
