D. SPECIAL LAND USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by
the Agency's rules and regulations for the issuance of special land use permits, as herein below set forth,
and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made.
1. That the proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service or facility, which contributes to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
The proposed office use would provide desirable services to the general community and would be
especially accessible to residents and workers in the Town Centre and surrounding area. The
proposed use would be consistent with adopted policies in the General Plan and the
Redevelopment Plan for the area.
2. 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.
The proposed use would not be detrimental to persons, but would make available desirable
services to the general public. The services would be especially accessible to residents and
workers in the vicinity of the Town Centre. The project is categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act and would not result in any significant environmental impacts. There
would be no major exterior improvements to the property; consequently, there would be no
aesthetic or physical impacts to property or improvements in the area. The small scale of the
proposed office use would not be incompatible with the neighborhood. The proposed use would
be consistent with adopted policies in the General Plan and the Redevelopment Plan for the area.
The establishment and operation of the use would be subject to the requirements of responsible
agencies with jurisdiction.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
Municipal Code for such use.
The proposed use would be required to comply with the regulations of the Municipal Code, and in
any case where it does not comply, this special land use permit is subject to modification or
revocation. The Town Centre Project Area Committee does hereby find that the conditions herein
imposed on the grant of this permit or other entitlement herein contained is approximately
proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created by the proposed project.
4. That the granting of this Special Land Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City of Chula Vista or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The project is located within the
boundaries of the Central Chula Vista Area Plan (Chapter 10 of the General Plan). Section 2.1,
Land Use, identifies mixed uses as a primary element of Town Centre I and identifies the mixed
use category of land uses. Goal 3, Objective 10 of the Area Plan specifically calls for "mixed
commercial officelresidential uses" within the vicinity of Third Avenue. The Land Use Diagram
delineates mixed use areas near Third Avenue. Section 5.1, Urban Core, identifies
residential/office mixed use for the area south of E Street, west of Third Avenue, and east of
Resolution No. 1731
Page 3
Friendship Park. Section 5.3, Third Avenue Shops and Mixed Use, identifies mixed use for the
area north and east of Friendship Park, along Glover, Garrett, and Landis Avenues.
The proposed use is consistent with the goal of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan, the
Downtown Vision Statement, and Town Centre Project Area Committee Land Use Policy, which
call for the revitalization of the Town Centre and downtown as a commercial district. Granting a
special land use permit for the proposed use will reaffirm the effectiveness of the land use
provisions of those documents.
