II. The City Council of the City Chula Vista does hereby find, determine and ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1: CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-03-016) has been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA
Guidelines and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City Of Chula Vista, and hereby
adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(IS-03-016).
SECTION 2: INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT OF CITY COUNCIL
The City Council does hereby find that in the exercise of their independent review and
judgment, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (IS-03-016) in the form presented has been prepared in accordance with requirements
of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Review Procedures of the
City of Chula Vista and hereby adopt same.
SECTION 3: PRECISE PLAN FINDINGS
The City Council does hereby find:
1. 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 project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and
objectives of Chapter 10 Section 5.9 of the General Plan, which encourages
mixed-used development along Broadway. The mixed-use project will introduce
new retail uses, rental units and market rate for sale dwelling units that will
provide an oppommity for homeownership in the area.
surrounding area economically, socially and aesthetically.
Ordinance 2920
Page 3
This will benefit the
2. That such plan satisfies the principle for application of the P modifying
district as set forth in CVMC 19.56.041.
Chula Vista Municipal Code 19.56.041(b) provides for application of the
Precise Plan modifying district when the property is adjacent and contiguous to a
zone allowing different land uses. The application of the Precise Plan here will
allow the property to co-exist between land usages which might otherwise prove
incompatible. In this case, the development standards limit the Developer's
potential to maximize the use of the site with the project which has been designed
with a high density residential concept and zero lot line for the retail uses. Thus,
application of the P modifying district will bridge the uses between the
surrounding retail/commemial and residential.
The site is zoned Central Commercial with a Precise Plan modifier
(C-C-P) and is subject to the development standards of the C-C and R-3 zone
because the project is a mixed-use retail/commercial and residential development.
These deviations are warranted given the constraints to the site and the intent to
develop the site with a functional use to meet the policies of the General Plan.
3. That any exceptions granted which may deviate from the underlying
zoning requirements shall be warranted only when necessary to meet the purpose
and application of the Precise Plan.
Development of the lot using the developmem standards of the C-C and
R-3 zone would limit the potential to maximize the use of the site with a
mixed-use project. As a result, the project has been designed with a high density
residential concept and zero lot line for the retail uses with building
encroachments into the required setbacks, a reduction in the required common
open space square footage for some residential units and the reduction in number
of on-site parking spaces. These deviations are warranted given the constraints to
the site and the intent to maximize the use of the property to meet other policies of
the General Plan. The parking reduction is mitigated by the availability of on-
street parking convenient to the retail uses proposed.
4. The approval of this plan will conform to the General Plan and the
adopted policies of the City Of Chula Vista.
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and
objectives the Southwest Redevelopmem Project Area and Chapter 10 Section 5.9
of the General Plan relative to mixed-use development along Broadway. The
Precise Plan as described, will allow the project to be consistent with the goals
and objectives of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan, General Plan and the Chula
Vista Municipal Code.
