REPORT OF FINDINGS
The Pla=ing Conli;lission of the City of Chula Vista,
finds that the adoption of the proposed comprehensive zoning
and building line ordinance, attached hereto, is in the best
interest of the City of Chula Vista and in accord with the
orderly development thereof. The commission finds that en-
actment to the attached proposed ordinance is necessary to
encourage the most appropriate use of land, conserve and
stabilize the value of property, prevent undue concentration
of population, street congestion and overly crowded buildip~
condi tions, and generally to promote the general safety,
health and welfare.
The commission further finds that existing zoning and
building line ordinances are antiquated and largely ineffect-
ual in preventing the overcrowding of, and the encroachment
on residential areas by unhealthful and undesirable land uses.
In addition, the commission finds that the establishment
of minimum lot sizes, set back, side yard and height regulations
envisaged by the proposed ordinance will maintain and improve
present residential neighborhoods.
It should be urged that the attached proposed ordinance
has not been hastily arrived at, but represents the result of
over one years work and study by the Co~mission.
