Project Setting The project consists of two lots totalling 0.78 acres, each lot containing one single family dwelling. A northerly leg (10 feet wide) of the property extends to "G" Street and the portion of the property fronting on Church Avenue is 40.98 feet wide. A portion of the property is located wi thin the drainage basin which eventually traverses Memorial Park downstream. This Portion of the site is subject to flooding during heavy rains. There are no geologic hazards known to the exist on the property nor are there any rare or endangered plant or animal species existing in the project vicinity. The lot, which slopes down below adjacent properties, from south to north, is bordered on the north and south by multiple family dwellings and to the west and east by single family dwel 1 i ngs. B. Project Description The project consists of the removal of two dwellings and a number of mature trees for the construction of 36 senior citizen apartment units. The proposed structure will be three stories in height and a total of 27 onsite parking spaces will be provided. C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The proposed project is designed for senior citizens and will require review and approval of a Conditional Use Pemit by the Planning Commission and City Council. The proposed project involves an increase in allowable density from 32 units per acre (per City Code) to 44 units per acre, a 33% increase. The proposed increase in density may be approved through the conditional use permit process. With the approval of a conditional use permit, conformance with the General Plan will be assured. D. Identification of Environmental Effects 1. Soils The project site is located in an area subject to inundation during heavy rains. With these flood waters, the deposit of alluvial soils may have occurred in the past. A soils report which will address adverse soils conditions will be required by the Building Department prior to approval of any building permits. city of chula vista planning department ~'~ ~'~1~/ environmental ravia. ,action 2. Drainage The applicant has not indicated a drainage solution for floodwaters that enter the site from the east and exit currently through an 8'x5' box culvert located offsite on property to the north. The 700 cubic yards of fill proposed on the project site could create additional flooding hazards on adjacent properties unless appropriate drainage facilities are constructed. Standard engineering requirements dictate that appropriate drainage facilities be designed, subject to approval of the City Engineer, prior to any development of the property. 3. Schools No adverse impact is anticipated to local schools since this project is designed to accommodate senior citizens only. 4. Sewers The applicant proposes to connect to the existing 8" sewer line in "G" Street. Standard Engineering Department requirements dictate that appropriate sewer facilities be installed subject to approval of the City Engineer prior to any development. · E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant effect~ No mitigation measures are recommended since standard development regulations and the implementation of any recommendations proposed within a requi~ed soils report will reduce potential impacts to a level of insignificance. F. Findings of Insignificant Impact 1. There are no significant natural or manmade resources within the project area which could be adversely affected by project implementation. 2. The proposed Senior Housing Project is in conformance with the General Plan and will not achieve short-term to the disadvantage of long term environmental goals. 3. All potential impacts can be mitigated through standard development regulations and the implementation of soils report recommendations. No impacts are anticipated to interact and cause cumulative effects on the environment. 4. The project will not create any source of significant noise or odors nor will any hazards to human beings result. G. Consultation 1.
