Located at 430 Second Avenue.Kevin McPeak As a 20-year resident of Chula Vista and a 13-year property owner on Second Avenue, I wish to express my opposition to the proposed installation of a telecommunications facility to be located at 430 Second Avenue in Chula Vista. Were this project to be approved, I believe that it would be a detriment to our neighborhood, a violation of a reasonable interpretation of Chula Vistas own zoning, and a concerning departure from the very nature of church property usage. A 45 foot freestanding wireless telecommunications facility at 430 Second Avenue is in no way consistent with the character of our neighborhood. Second Avenue is an almost entirely residential area, and a 45-foot tower is simply out of place among the tree lined streets of our quiet neighborhood. Additionally, the American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended the electromagnetic/RF transmissions be limited in the proximity of children, and there are not only children residing in our neighborhood, but there is a licensed preschool operating at 478 Second Avenue, which is less than 350 feet from the proposed towers property location. Furthermore, the proposed tower would be located in an R1 residential zoning area, which should be reasonably understood to not include such things as a telecommunications tower. I also have significant concerns about the utilization of a church exempt from property tax for this purpose. I am submitting those concerns separately due to the 1500 character limit of this form. Oppose Approved Planning Commission - Regular Meeting 10/25/2023 18:00 Conditional Use Permit for a 45- Foot Freestanding Wireless Telecommunication Facility on a 2.09-acre Parcel With an Existing Church Within the Single-Family Residence (R-1) Zone. Located at 430 Second Avenue.William Daley My family owns a residence on Del Mar Court Chula Vista. CA. My parents purchased the home in the late 1950's. I grew up in that house and I am currently the trustee of the trust. The property were the proposed cell tower is to be placed is immediately behind the residence and approximately 75 yards away. I am opposed to the conditional use permit. It will adversely impact the value of the residential property in the immediate area, including my family owned property. The Church owners of the property have abused it's use, advertising and using the property for commercial purposes, as a commercial storage area for over one year. including 15,081 sq ft. for .$0.75 per sq. ft. The City only recently cited the illegal use of the property in February 2023, which was being done, at the same time, as the application for this CUP. They should not be trusted, or rewarded for the misuse of the property. The proposed CUP in contrary to the City General Plan, under housing Goal 1, which identifies this area, west of 805, which is an older and more vulnerable neighborhood. The General Plan includes "to enhance the quality of existing housing to maintain the integrity of residential neighborhoods." "increase home value, and preserve neighborhood quality." "Encourage neighborhood and local participation" A cell tower, in the middle of this neighborhood, even if they attempt disguise it, will diminish the residential neighborhood. I request that you not approve the cell tower.Oppose Approved Planning Commission - Regular Meeting 10/25/2023 18:00 Conditional Use Permit for a 45- Foot Freestanding Wireless Telecommunication Facility on a 2.09-acre Parcel With an Existing Church Within the Single-Family Residence (R-1) Zone.
