Following the interviews, the City Council may deliberate and consider making an appointment to fill the vacancy. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that this activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Do not click any links and do not open attachments unless you can confirm the sender. PLEASE REPORT SUSPICIOUS EMAILS BY USING THE PHISH ALERT REPORT BUTTON or to reportphishing@chulavistaca.gov Good Afternoon, Mayor, Councilmembers, City Attorney, The Chula Vista website is down, so am sending via e-mail. There are alot of people upset about the zoning changes for ADU's especially. However, SB-10, the State law behind all this, is not actually a hard-and-fast law. Once the candidate is seated on the Commission, she or he represents all of Chula Vista. At that point, we are all counting on the new Commissioner, not just the people in one district. Just like friends, we live all over the place and have all sorts of ideas, good or not so good, but we all get along. So please do your own research and don't just listen to the legislative analysts. If the law says that as long as the structures do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the ADU, they cannot be the basis of an ADU’s denial. That means if they are a threat, an ADU can be denied. Well, under this law, I think they are a threat, disease spreads faster in crowded places, you can hear your neighbors, crime tends to happen more, and I hope that a lot of denials occur. You can do it! Just remember all of the people whom you represent. Thank you.
