RE: Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch Expansion Project (SCH No.
2022080104)
Dear Mr. Romero:
This firm represents the Southwest Mountain States Regional Council of Carpenters
(“SWMSRCC”) with regards to the above-referenced Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch
Expansion Project as specifically described in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative
Declaration SCH No. 2022080104 (“MND”), located at 1400 E Palomar St., Chula
Vista, CA 91913 (hereinafter “Project”), proposed by Sharp HealthCare
(“Applicant”.) On September 16, 2022, we submitted comments on behalf of
SWMSRCC stating objections and concerns regarding the Project and the MND.
We are pleased to report that, as a result of direct discussions with the Applicant, the
Applicant has agreed to implement environmental measures adequately addressing our
concerns in a legally enforceable settlement agreement. Moreover, independently, the
City’s response to comments also adequately addresses our concerns such that we
agree the MND and the Project comply with all local, state and federal laws.
Due to the fact that SWMSRCC concerns have been adequately addressed,
SWMSRCC hereby withdraws its comment letter and renounces its status as an
interested party for purposes of any administrative or judicial appeal. SWMSRCC
respectfully requests that the City approve the Project and certify the MND without
delay or further revision.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mitchell M. Tsai, Esq.
