Notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, and its mailing to property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the Property, at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing; and WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning Commission and the hearing was thereafter closed. Planning Commission Resolution No. DR19-0012 Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission does hereby find and determine as follows: I. DESIGN REVIEW 1. That the proposed development will be consistent with the City of Chula Vista’s General Plan and Title 19 of the Municipal Code. The Project is consistent with the City of Chula Vista’s General Plan and Title 19 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC). The Project will be strategically situated on the site such that it is located at the approximate rear third portion of the parcel that is flat and elevated which will minimize views from the surrounding residential uses to the north. The parcel is surrounded by industrial and commercial uses similar in design and scale of the Project. In addition, the proposed location of the building and associated parking, along with building elevations, are such that all required development standards of the BC-4 zone are being met. A series of architectural site sections and perspectives demonstrate that the topography, proximity of uses, proposed wall and fencing, and landscaping would provide sufficient visual screening and protection between the property and the neighbors. 2. The design features of the proposed development are consistent with, and are a cost- effective method of satisfying, the City of Chula Vista Design Manual and Landscape Manual. The design features are a cost-effective method of satisfying the City of Chula Vista Design Manual and Landscape Manual. The design of the building incorporates several desired features in accordance with the City of Chula Vista Design Manual such as varied facades and roof articulation with a modern architectural theme that matches the precedent form and volume of the surrounding neighborhood. Linear massing of the building breaks up a series of wall pane off-sets including reveal lines and pop-out features and canopies to provide a staggering of the building façade. Vertically, the building uses height and roofline variations, different colors, varying fenestration and wainscot to create both interest and shadows that provides vertical relief. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission, based on the findings above, hereby approves the Design Review Permit subject to the following conditions: II. The following shall be accomplished to the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services, or designee, prior to issuance of Building Permits, unless otherwise specified: Planning Commission Resolution No. DR19-0012 Page 3 Planning: 1.
