ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.: 622-052-05 & 12 PROJECT APPLICANT: Loreto Romero CASE NO: IS-00-0 I DATE: August 3, 1999 A. Proiect Setting The environmental setting for the project consists of a previously graded vacant industrial 2.95 acre site located at 1480 Frontage Road, Chula Vista, CA. The site is part of a larger area designated for industrial use. Surrounding land uses include a vehicle storage lot to the north, Interstate 5 to the east, residences and a storage yard to the south and a single-family residence to the west. The project site is relatively level and approximately sixty percent ofthe property surface is covered with asphalt black top. The remaining area consists of reddish brown clayey sandy soils, typical of marine terrace deposits. The Rose Canyon Fault Zone is located about 1.0 mile west of the site along the length of San Diego Bay. The La Nacion Fault Zone is located about 3.5 miles to the east. Surface vegetation at the site is limited to scattered patches of dry non-native grass. The industrial site has previously been used as a truck and equipment storage yard. B. Proiect Description The proposed proj ect consists of the construction of an industrial warehouse building totaling 11,890 sq. ft. The construction materials will consist of masonry block walls on cement slabs. The roofline will be hidden behind the concrete block walls. Building information is as follows: Number of Floors: I Building height: 22 ft. 9 inches Floor area: 11,890 sq. ft. (including a 1,890 sq. ft. mezzanine) The floor space would be used for warehouse storage of marine hardware. Office space and reception/wholesale area will occupy about 1,800 sq. ft. The proposed hours of operation 1 ~~~... -.- r.....: ~..;;: ~-~- city of chula vista planning department OTY OF "- environmental review ..ction. OiUlA. VISfA - - - c,; would be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., M()nday through Friday.u_ The proposed use is not expected to generate noise as part of its daily operation. The project site is located in the midst of an industrially designated and multi-use developed area. Interstate 5 is located immediately east of the site. The location of the proposed building in relation to any outdoor activities will serve to buffer any potential noise impacts. All proposed activities and operations will be required to comply with existing noise standards for the IL zone. No potential adverse impacts to sensitive noise receptors are anticipated from the proposed use. The project site will be accessible via two entry driveways one off of Frontage Road and one from Dorothy Street. A total of 12 parking spaces are being provided which will be in conformance with parking requirements per the City's Zoning Ordinance. The applicant "rill provide landscaping for the parking and perimeter areas in accordance with the City of Chula Vista's Landscape Manual. C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The existing zoning on the project site is IL (Limited Industrial) and the General Plan designation is Limited Manufacturing. The proposed project will be consistent with these land use designations with the approval of a conditional use permit. . The project will subject to the design review committee process which will provide for more project specific requirements prior to the submittal of full construction plans. The project will also be subject to the redevelopment review process and the issuance of a permit indicating compliance with the Local Coastal Plan as adopted by the City and the Coastal Commission. D. Identification of Environmental Effects An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project will not have a significant . .environmental effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. This Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Geophysical A Geotechnical Report was completed by Testing Engineers - San Diego, on February 10, 1998. The report concludes that the site is suitable for the proposed structure. The project will as standard building practice comply with the report recommendations. H:\HOME\PLANNING\ENVIRONM\ISOOO I_ND 2 ~ .- - ..'..f, .----- - .--.--- Soils -- -- ---- --- --- .-- - A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report prepared by Testing Engineers-San Diego, on February 10,J~99 found three soil stains made by oil drippings from the trucks and equipment previously _ stored on-sÏte.No other recognized environmental conditions indicating the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products was found by the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. No evidence was found indicating an existing release, a past release, or a material threat of release of hazardous substances or petroleum products into the ground, groundwater, or surface water of the project site other than the mentioned waste oil staining. The applicant is encouraged to participate in a voluntary program administered by the County Environmental Health Department, Site Assessment Division that will provide assistance in implementing various options available to the property owner with respect to any necessary remediation or review of the proposed site plan. S treets/Traffic The City's Engineering Department indicates that street improvements and dedications are required. Specifically, the project will be required to install two 250 watt high pressure sodium vapor streeUig~ts, ~i~~~al](, curb and gutter alºng the property street frontage. No off site traffic/street mitigation will be required: Noise The proposed use will generate little noise as part of its daily operation. The project site is located in the midst of an industrially designated and developed area. Interstate Highway 5 is located to the east of the site. There is a single-family residence adjacent to the project site and there are three residences across the Dorothy Street to the south. The location ofthe proposed building in relation to any weekly deliveries by local carriers will also serve to buffer any potential noise impacts. All proposed activities and operations will be required JO comply with exi§tinglloise standards for ILzone ( Notto exceed 70 dB(A) for any 24 hr. period per Table III, Section 19.68.030 of the City's Zoning Ordinance). No potential adverse impacts to sensitive noise receptors are noted from the proposed use. No mitigation will be required. E.
