ITEM TITLE
Conditional Use Permit PLN25-0043 (CUP25-0043) to allow for a Convenience Market and Alcohol Sales
(“Project”) within an existing commercial tenant space in the Transect 4 (T4): Town Center (TC) Zone.
Location: 1982 La Media Parkway South (APN: 644-071-03)
G.C. § 84308 Regulations Apply: Yes
Environmental Notice: The Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301
(Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines .
Recommended Action
Conduct a public hearing and adopt a Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit PLN25-0043 (CUP25-
0043) to allow a convenience market and the sale of alcoholic beverages within an existing commercial space
at 1982 La Media Parkway South based on the findings and CEQA exemption, and subject to the conditions
contained therein.
SUMMARY
Nader Hanna for Cota Vera Mini Market (“Applicant”) filed an application on August 29, 2025, proposing a
new convenience market with the sale of alcoholic beverages within a vacant commercial tenant space of a
mixed-use building owned by Otay Affordable I V8, LP, which authorized George Russo, CFO of MHCMT Otay,
LLC, to sign on their behalf.
HOUSING IMPACT STATEMENT
The subject property was designated in the Housing Element as a site to contribute to the City’s regional
housing needs. However, the proposed Project would be situated within an existing commercial suite of an
existing mixed-use commercial and residential affordable housing development. Therefore, there would be
no net loss of housing capacity toward fulfilling the City’s housing allocation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed Project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing
Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Section 15301 exempts the
operation, permitting, and licensing of private structures, which may include permitting and licensing for a
convenience market and the sale of alcohol. Furthermore, the Project proposes to occupy an existing

commercial tenant space which involves a negligible expansion of the use at this location. None of the
exceptions described under Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines applies.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The Project proposes a convenience market with the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for offsite
consumption in an existing vacant tenant space in a mixed-use commercial and residential building within
the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area. The proposed market would operate between the
hours of 9:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M., daily. The Police Department has included a condition of approval that the
sale of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted inside the premises only between 8:00 A.M. and 12:00 A.M.
(midnight) each day of the week. In accordance with Chapter 3 (Development Code), Section 3.3.7(C) –
Transect 4 (T-4): Town Center (TC) Zone of the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area (SPA),
convenience markets are permitted with a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Zoning Administrator
and the sale of alcohol is permitted with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning
Commission. Per Chapter 9 (Implementation & Administration), Section 9.1.4 – Multiple Applications of the
SPA, when an applicant applies for more than one permit or other approval for a single development, the
applications shall be consolidated for processing and shall be reviewed by a single decision maker or
decision-making body pursuant to the requirements of Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Section
19.14.050. No significant alterations to the building or property are proposed beyond what exists today.
Project Site Characteristics
The subject property is located along the west side of La Media Parkway South between Main Street West
and Main Street East (Attachment 1). The purpose of the T4-TC Zone is to allow for Mixed-Use Commercial
and Residential uses. The table below identifies the General Plan land use designations and zoning
designations of the subject property and its surroundings.

Analysis
Pursuant to Chapter 9 (Implementation & Administration), Section 9.3.4 – Permits, Variances, and Zoning
Applications of the SPA, the administration of uses requiring a Conditional Use Permit must comply with the
applicable provisions of the CVMC Section 19.14.080, which includes the following findings for a CUP:
a) That the proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or
facility which will contribute to the general wellbeing of the neighborhood or the community;
b) 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;
c) That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in Title 19 (or the
applicable land use standards) for such use;
d) That the granting of a conditional use permit will not adversely affect the City’s General Plan or the
adopted plan of any governmental agency; and
e) That the proposed conditional use, if located in the coastal zone, is consistent with the certified local
coastal program and is consistent with the intent of the zoning district.
The proposed use is located in the T4-TC Zone of the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area. The
T4-TC Zone is designed as a high-density, mixed-use area that fosters a vibrant, 24-hour urban experience
through pedestrian-oriented design and public spaces. By occupying a vacant ground-floor storefront within
an existing shopping center, this project directly supports the primary purpose for the zone. The new market
would enhance the local retail mix and promote walkability by providing convenient products in a space
intended for active pedestrian-accessible use. The operational characteristics of the proposed use have been
reviewed and analyzed in consideration of the suitability of the site. Based upon hours of operation,
operational characteristics, and location of the establishment among many similar and compatible
commercial uses, it has been determined that the proposed convenience market with alcohol sales would be
suitable in type and intensity for the subject site. To further ensure compatibility with surrounding uses,
conditions have been placed on the Project to minimize potential negative impacts created by the use,
including limits to the hours of operation and placement of signage. Furthermore, the Applicant will be
required to provide Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training and video surveillance for the investigation
and prosecution of criminal acts within or near the premise. Further, the proposed use, as conditioned, is
consistent with policies of the T4-TC Zone of the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area and the
Town Center (TC) land use designation in the Chula Vista General Plan and would not adversely affect its
implementation. Finally, the Project is not located within the coastal zone.
Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
In addition to a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission, the Applicant is required to
obtain a Type 21 license from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), which is the
state agency authorized to license and regulate the manufacture, importation, and sale of alcoholic
beverages. ABC’s decision for an alcohol license application takes place after the City has completed its
discretionary review.

Public Convenience or Necessity Findings
A Public Convenience or Necessity Findings hearing was held on June 18, 2025, and the license was approved
on June 25, 2025, per CVMC Section 5.09.010.
Public Notice
In accordance with the City of Chula Vista Public Participation Policy, a Notice of Application was sent to
property owners within 500 feet of the project site and posted on the City’s website on December 29, 2025.
In addition, pursuant to CVMC Sections 19.12.070 and 19.12.080, a notice of public hearing was sent and
published within 10 business days prior to the Planning Commission hearing.
CONCLUSION
Consistent with the objectives of the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area and Chula Vista
General Plan, staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Project. This recommendation is
supported by the above findings, the CEQA exemption, and the specific conditions of approval, set forth in
the attached resolution.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Planning Commission members and has found no property
holdings within 1,000 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently,
this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California
Code of Regulations Title 2, Section 18702.2(a)(7) or (8), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t
Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware and has not been informed by any Planning Commission member of any
other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT
All costs incurred processing this application are borne by the Applicant, resulting in no net fiscal impact to
the Development Services Fund or the General Fund.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Chula Vista, that, after incorporation of the Recitals above, hereby makes the following findings:
I. COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The proposed Project qualifies for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section
15301 (Existing Facilities) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines, and no exceptions to the Categorical Exemption exist pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines section 15300.2. The Project involves negligible or no expansion of use(s). No
further CEQA review is required.
II. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. The proposed use at this particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility that will contribute to the general wellbeing of its neighborhood or
the community.
The proposed use is located in the Transect 4 (T-4): Town Center (TC) Zone (“T4-TC
Zone”) of the Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area. The T4 -TC Zone is
designated as a high-density, mixed-use area that fosters a vibrant, 24-hour urban
experience through pedestrian-oriented design and public spaces. By occupying a vacant
ground-floor storefront within an existing shopping center, this project directly supports
the primary purpose for the zone. The new market would enhance the local retail mix and
promote walkability by providing convenient products in a space intended for active
pedestrian-accessible use.

Page 3
2. Such use will not, under the circumstances of this particular case, be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity,
nor will it be injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The operational characteristics of the proposed use have been reviewed and analyzed in
consideration of the suitability of the site. Based upon hours of operation, operational
characteristics, and location of the establishment among many similar and compatible
commercial uses, it has been determined that the proposed convenience market with
alcohol sales would be suitable in type and intensity for the subject site. To further ensure
compatibility with surrounding uses, conditions have been placed on the Project to
minimize potential negative impacts created by the use, including limits to the hours of
operation and placement of signage. Furthermore, the Applicant will be required to provide
Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) training and video surveillance for the investigation
and prosecution of criminal acts within or near the premise.
3. The proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
Otay Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and the Chula Vista
Municipal Code (“CVMC”).
The Project will adhere to the applicable performance standards set forth in Chapter 3
(Development Code), Section 3.6 – Performance Standards of the Otay Ranch Village 8
West Sectional Planning Area. Additionally, the proposed conditions of this permit are in
proportion to the nature and extent of the impacts created by the use in that the conditions
imposed are directly related to, and of a nature and scope related to, the size and impacts
of the use. Approval of this permit is contingent upon the Applicant’s and Property
Owner’s commitment to satisfy all conditions of approval for the proposed use and will
comply with all applicable regulations.
4. Granting this permit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City or the
adopted plan of any government agency.
The General Plan designates the site as Town Center (TC). The Project is consistent with
the General Plan land use designation and will not adversely affect implementation of the
General Plan. The Project, as approved by a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to the Otay
Ranch Village 8 West Sectional Planning Area, is consistent with the Transect 4 (T-4):
Town Center (TC) permitted land uses.
