NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find, determine, and
resolve as follows:
B. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence on the Project introduced before the Planning
Commission at their public hearing on this project held on July 27,2005 and the minutes
and resolution resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of this
proceeding.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial
Study, IS-05-0n in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based
upon the results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
determined that the project could result in significant effects on the environment.
However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur;
therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, IS-05-0n.
D. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-05-023) has been prepared in
accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
State CEQA Guidelines, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City ofChula
Vista, and hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (IS-05-023).
E. INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT OF CITY COUNCIL
The City Council does hereby find that in the exercise of their independent review and
judgment, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (IS-05-0n) in the form presented has been prepared in accordance with
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and hereby adopts the
same.
F. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by
the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of conditional use permits, as
hereinbelow set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the
stated finding to be made.
Resolution No. 2005-279
Page 3
I. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or
facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
The proposed location is a desirable location for such a one-time racing event. The
environmental document and staff reports outlines how the racetrack and temporary
facilities are located a significant distance from existing residential neighborhoods to
the north and east and visually obscured trom view by the existing slopes.
In addition, the racetrack and facilities are a minimum 100-ft. away from multiple
species habitat preserve lands to the south and east. The existing topography provides
the necessary layout for the temporary structures areas needed for the event and
minimal grading is needed for the racetrack.
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.
This temporary conditional use permit for a two weekend race event required
environmental documentation that analyzed the proposal with respect to the effect of
the proposal on health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
While certain aspects of the proposal such as traffic and noise may result in some
minor traffic congestion near the site at the time of the events as well as perhaps some
one-time noise annoyances due to racing events or early evening live entertainment,
the temporary one-time sporting and entertainment events are not regulated by the
noise control ordinance. For participants and spectators deciding to attend these
racing events, safety precautions are maximized to ensure the health, safety or general
welfare of persons involved as outlined in the environmental document and staff
reports.
In addition, the conditions to grant approval of this permit require that an Off-Road
Race Security Plan, Safety/Medical Plan, and Traffic Control Plan shall be provided
by the applicant to minimize the potential impacts to public safety, fire, traffic,
parking, and other environmental effects on participants, spectators, and the
surrounding residential neighborhoods in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
the code for such use.
The proposed temporary racing event and activities is considered a conditionally
permitted use within the Planned Community (PC) Zone, utilizing the unclassified
use requirements listed under unclassified uses in the Zoning Code (19.54.020J-7) for
race tracks, which requires that a conditional use permit be considered by the City
Council subsequent to its receipt of recommendations thereon from the Planning
Commission.
Resolution No. 2005-279
Page 4
Municipal Code section 19.58.040(D)(4) generally prohibits alcoholic beverages
being sold or consumed on the premises except in conjunction with a restaurant
approved through a conditional use permit. In this case, the sale of food through
several vendors is an authorized use of the CUP. The sale of alcoholic beverages by
these food vendors is authorized consistent with the conditions described below and
the licenses issued by the state Department of Alcohol Beverage Control.
4. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
Because the land use is a temporary use, granting of this permit will not require
amendments to the Chula Vista General Plan, or the Otay Ranch GDP.
