~ PROJECT SOUTH BAY BAPTIST CHURCH PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
APPLICANT: INITIAL STUDY
PROJECT 960 Fifth Avenue
N ADDRESS: Request: Proposed construction of a 4,730 square foot "multi-
!:lEI purpose" building adjacent to the existing facility,
!:lEI FilE NUMBER:
No Scale LOCATOR IS _ 00-53
C:lmyfilesllocators\IS0053,cdr 06/26/00 E)(HI'rT' A
B, Project Description
The project proposes to amend the existing Conditional Use Pennit (P 56-4) that was
approved in 1956 by the County of San Diego, The South Bay Baptist Church proposes to:
I. Remove an existing mobile office (492 sq,ft, trailer) structure, a storage shed (120 sq,ft,),
and an existing 1,500 square-foot youth building (fonner single-family residence);
2, Construct a new 4,730 sq,ft, multi-purpose building with a maximum height of 28 feet;
and
3, Construct a new concrete walkway for access to the multi-purpose building (Exhibit B -
Site Plan),
The proposed new multi-purpose building would be used for Sunday and Wednesday
worship services, meetings, group gatherings, and youth activities, Worship services that are
currently conducted in the existing church building would be moved to the new multi-
purpose building.
The proposed building would contain a multi-purpose room with seating for 286 people, a
storage room, restrooms, and a lunchroom (no stove or cooking appliances included), The
exterior of the building would be stucco to match existing stucco on the existing buildings,
Roof shingles and trim would match the existing buildings,
C. Compliance with Zoning and Plans
The proposed multi-use building is consistent with the R-I (Single-family Residential)
zoning designation, LM (Low-Medium Residential 3-6 dulac) General Plan designation, and
the City's environmental plans and policies, The project is also consistent with the
Montgomery Specific Plan, which designates the site as Low-Medium Residential (3-6)
dulac ),
D, Public Comments
On July 21, 2000 a Notice ofInitial Study was circulated to property owners within 500-foot
radius of the proposed project site. The public comment period ended July 31, 2000, One
public comment letter was received,
E, Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist fonn) detennined that although the proposed project could have a significant
environmental effect, there will not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation
measures described in Section F below have been added to the project. The preparation of an
Environmental Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has
been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 ofthe State CEQA Guidelines,
I. Noise
The architectural plans submitted to the City do not include heating or air conditioning
equipment. If heating and air conditioning equipment is installed, the equipment could
2
conceivably exceed City noise standards, Although the nOise analysis report notes that
"HV AC units would be of a low-noise type and would have sufficient structural
attenuation (i,e" cinder-block enclosure) to preclude impacts to surrounding residential
uses," the submitted plans do not provide a basis for this conclusion, Thus, the
installation ofHV AC equipment could result in a significant environmental impact.
2, Hazards
Demolition of the storage shed and fonner single-family residences could result in the
release of airborne asbestos fibers if the structures contain asbestos materials, Release of
airborne asbestos fibers would result in a significant health hazard,
F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Impacts
Project-specific mitigation measures are required to reduce potential environmental impacts
identified in the Initial Study to a less than significant level. The mitigation measures will be
made a condition of approval, as well as requirements of the attached Mitigation Monitoring
Program (Attachment "A"),
NOISE
Heating and Air Condition Equipment
1. If building plans submitted to the City include exterior heating and air conditioning
equipment, a City approved acoustician shall be retained by the applicant to perfonn an
acoustical analysis of the heating and air conditioning equipment to detennine if the
equipment meets the Zoning Ordinance requirements pertaining to nOise (see
§19,68,030), The acoustical analysis shall be submitted to the City's Environmental
Coordinator for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building pennit.
2. Concurrent worship services shall not be conducted in the multi-purpose building and the
existing church building, The multi-purpose building shall not be used in conjunction
with weekday educational programs conducted in the existing church building and the
youth/classroom building located behind the existing church building.
HAZARDS
Asbestos
1. The applicant shall contract with an environmental ëonsultant certified by the State of
California to conduct testing for the presence of asbestos in buildings to be demolished,
A report shall be submitted to the City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Department
that identifies whether or not asbestos is present. If required, a remedial work plan for
the removal and disposal of asbestos shall be submitted for review and approval by the
City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Department and San Diego County Air
Pollution Control District.
3
2, The applicant shall be responsible for obtaining all required permits from state and local
regulatory agencies, including the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD), and
shall provide proof of having obtained such permits to the Planning and Building
Department prior to issuance of a demolition permit.
I agree to implement the mItIgation measures required as stated in this Section (F) of this
Mitigated Negative Declaration,

g) Exposure of people or property to geologic 0 0 0 181
hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, mud
slides, ground failure, or similar hazards?
Comments: There are no known geophysical conditions present that would expose people to geologic or
earth hazards, The site is not within a mapped Earthquake Fault Zone; the Rose Canyon Fault Zone is
approximately 21 miles to the north, and the La Nacion earthquake fault is approximately three miles to
the east. Compliance with the Uniform Building Code requirements would avoid potentially significant
geologic impacts, No significant geophysical effects would result from construction of the building,
Forty percent of the proposed building site (1,870-sq, ft.) is currently covered with existing structures,
Increasing the impervious area by 2,900 sq,ft. to 4,730 sq,ft, would result in a negligible increase in
runoff. The project site is essentially flat and no grading would be required to prepare the site for the
proposed multi-purpose building, Standard engineering conditions require that a geotechnical/soils study
be submitted with the first submittal of improvement plans, No significant effects such as runoff, erosion,
sedimentation, change in topography, etc, would result from construction of the building,
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,
IV. WATER. Would the proposal result in:

i) Alterations to the course or flow of flood 0 0 0 [¡J
waters?
j) Substantial reduction in the amount of water 0 0 0 [¡J
otherwise available for public water supplies?
Comments: Existing drainage patterns would not change as a result of constTucting the new facility,
Forty percent of the proposed building site (1,870-sq, ft.) is currently covered with existing stTuctures,
Increasing the impervious area by 2,900 sq,ft. to 4,730 sq,ft, would result in a negligible increase in
runoff, No significant effects such as runoff, erosion, sedimentation, change in topography, etc, would
result from constTuction ofthe building, No significant impacts to surface or ground water would result.
Adequate public water service is available to the site, Groundwater would not be impacted because there
would be no additions or withdrawals from the local aquifer.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,
V. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to 181
an existing or projected air quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? 181
c) Alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, 181
or cause any change in climate, either locally or
regionally?
d) Create objectionable odors? 181
e) Create a substantial increase in stationary or 181
non-stationary sources of air emissions or the
deterioration of ambient air quality?
Comments: Negligible air quality effects would result because the increase in vehicular emissions (43
ADT Mondays through Saturdays and 172 ADT on Sundays) would be minimal. ConstTuction of the
multi-purpose building would result in negligible short-tepn constTuction and grading emissions.
Operation of the facility would not result in odor impacts,
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,
VI. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION. Would
the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? 0 0 [¡J 0

Management Program? (An equivalent of 2400
or more average daily vehicle trips or 200 or
more peak-hour vehicle trips,)
Comments: The City Engineering Department has calculated the increase in daily traffic to be 43 trips per
day Monday through Saturday and 172 trips on Sunday. Fifth Avenue and Moss Street are classified as
Class II Co1\ector streets, L Street is classified as a Class I Co1\ector. The additional traffic would not
result in a decrease in the Level of Service,
The City Engineer recommends that the project be conditioned to widen Fifth Avenue to 26 feet, and that
a new curb and gutter be provided to accommodate on-street parking that matches the rest of the 900
block of Fifth A venue, The widening is not required as a mitigation measure, The widening will require a
modification of the drainage channel along the southern property boundary, A streetlight (250 watts) sha1\
be insta1\ed at the southern property line,
The parking requirement is 82 spaces, The existing main parking lot is striped for 82 parking spaces
(including four handicapped spaces), Five additional parking spaces (two handicapped) are located on the
north side ofthe youth/classroom building, A 25-foot wide paved driveway (two-lane) provides access to
the main parking lot. A 14- foot wide paved driveway along the northern property line provides a
secondary access to the main parking lot. No additional parking would be required because the new
building would not increase the level of activity at the church facility,
No changes to ingress and egress are proposed, and no hazards or barriers for pedestrians or bicyclists
would be created, No traffic related impacts are anticipated to rešult.
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,

Comments: The site is fully developed and is located in an urbanized area, There are no sensitive plant
or animal species on-site, No biological impacts would result from the proposed use of the site,
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,
VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES.
Would the proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation D D D 181
plans?
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and D D D 181
inefficient manner?
c) ¡fthe site is designated for mineral resource D D D 181
protection, will this project impact this
protection?
Comments: The proposed multi-purpose building does not conflict with the recently adopted CO2
Reduction Plan. The project proponent wil1 provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the Sib Avenue
frontage that wil1 aid pedestrian circulation in the project area,
The proposed project is subject to comp1iance with Energy Requirements ofthe Uniform Building Code
and therefore, should not result in the use of non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient
manner. The project is not located in an area designated for mineral resource protection as defined in the
City's General Plan,
Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required,
IX. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:

Comments: The proposed use ofthe site would not involve operations involving hazardous substances,
nor would it interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans, No known health or fire hazard
impacts would result from the use of the site,
Demolition of the storage shed and fonner single-family residence could result in the release of airborne
asbestos fibers if the structures contain asbestos materials, Release of airborne asbestos fibers could result
in a significant health hazard,
Mitigation: Mitigation measures listed in Section XIX would reduce impacts to a less than significant
level.
X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? 0 '" 0 0
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? 0 0 I!J 0
Comments: In the residential R-I zone, the Zoning Ordinance (§19,68,030) establishes the maximum
pennissible daytime hourly noise levels as 55 dB(A) between the hours of? a,m, to 10 p,m, on weekdays
(8:00 a,m, to 10:00 p,m, on Sundays) and 45 dB(A) between the hours of 10:00 p,m, and 7:00 a,m, on
weekdays (10:00 p,m, to 8:00 a,m,) on Sundays, The ordinance provides that if the measured ambient
level exceeds the pennissible noise level, the allowable noise exposure standard shall be the ambient noise
level. Noise levels by receiving land uses are measured at the boundary or at any point within the
boundary of the property affected.
An Acoustical Analysis was perfonned by Investigative Science and Engineering, Inc, (March 23, 200 I
Revised) to measure the potential noise impacts from the proposed facility to the adjacent neighbors to the
north, A noise measurement of 51,8 Leq was taken near the north property line of the site October 26,
2000 (Thursday) at 12:30 p,m, Noise measurements taken on February 25, 2001 (Sunday) were 54.0 Leq
(8:30 a,m,), 60,5 Leq (9:30 a,m,), 55,0 Leq (10:30 a,m,), and 57,0 Leq (II :30 a,m,), The Sunday
measurements were taken to establish the noise levels associated with the current church activities,
Interior noise measurements of the pipe organ in the existing church facility showed that average noise
levels within the center of the building were 69.3 dB(A) Leq-15mm' Maximum levels were 72 dB(A) and
minimum levels were 53 dB (A) , Measurements taken at similar facilities by the consulting acoustician
indicate that typical church singing can range upwards of 80 dB(A) Leq-15mio' This 80-dB(A) level was
used as the basis of the noise analysis of the proposed multi-purpose building"
A noise insulation analysis was perfonned to detennine the sound transmission effects of the proposed
multi-purpose building, The interior noise level produced by the proposed church activities were
ca1culated in tenns of decibels, A-weighted, and converted to six-octave band sound pressure levels. The
expected noise levels outside the building are a function of the sound transmission Joss qualities of the
construction material and the surface area of the walls, windows, doors, etc, The north wall of the

building would face the adjacent single-family residences located 30 to 35 feet north of the proposed
building, There is an existing 7- foot masonry and wood fence along the northern property line. The
building floor plan shows one double door in the north wall and no windows,
The interior noise level of SO dB(A) requires the building structure to have a Sound Transmission Class
(STC) rating of30 in order to achieve the 55-dB(A) exteriornoise level required by the Zoning Ordinance,
The structural noise analysis was based on the architectural plans and the composite building shell, The
analysis concluded that the building would have an STC rating of 4S, Thus, the noise reduction that
would be achieved by the proposed architecture of the building exceeds the requirement of STC 30 to
reduce the exterior noise to a 55-dB(A) level. Consequently, no significant impact would result from
activities conducted within the proposed building,
However, a significant noise impact could occur if: (I) concurrent worship services are conducted in the
existing church building and the proposed multi-purpose building; or (2) the proposed multi-purpose
building is used in conjunction with weekday educational programs conducted in the existing church
building and the youth/classroom building located behind the existing church building,
The single largest noise generator in the vicinity of the project site is traffic along 5'" Avenue, The
Acoustical Analysis also evaluated the potential noise impacts to the proposed facility rrom traffic along
5'" Avenue, Existing traffic noise levels at the front (east) of the site were measured to average 52 dB(A)
on October 26, 2000, Noise levels associated with the arrival and departure of worshippers for the Sunday
morning service results in an approximate 4 to 5 dB(A) increase in overall ambient noise levels These
events occur at approximately 9:30 a,m, and 11:30 a,m, and are of a short-term duration (i,e, several
minutes), The overall character (L90 or 90% of the time) of the ambient noise levels during the Sunday
morning worship period increased by approximately two decibels, This is not considered to be a
significant environmental impact.
Fifth A venue currently has a traffic volume of 6,SSO ADT, The increase in traffic resulting rrom the
proposed multi-purpose building would be 43 trips per day Monday through Saturday and 172 trips on
Sunday, This level of traffic increase would increase the noise levels in the area by less than 3 dB(A), the
level of noise increase that is barely perceptible by the human ear. The increase in traffic noise as a resuH
of the project would be less than significant.
The architectural plans submitted to the City do not include heating or air conditioning equipment. If
heating and air conditioning equipment is installed, the equipment could conceivably exceed City noise
standards, Although the noise analysis report notes that "HV AC units would be of a low-noise type and
would have sufficient structural attenuation (i,e" cinder-block enclosure) to preclude impacts to
surrounding residential uses," the submitted plans do not provide a basis for this conclusion, Thus, the
installation of HV AC equipment could resuH in a significant environmental impact.
Mitigation: Mitigation measures listed in Section XIX would reduce impacts to a less than significant
level.
XI. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the proposal have an
effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered

REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed,
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant êffect on the environment,
there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects D
(a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and (b)
have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. An addendum has been prepared to
provide a record of this detennination,
