City of Chula Vista
Chula Vista, CA 92010
Attention: Steve Taylor, Chairman
January 21, 1987
REFERENCE: EIR-86-3 Expansion. of Chula Vista Shopping Center
An evaluation of the referenced EIR has been completed. The EIR has been
found to be adequate in the areas of Traffic Volumes, Noise, Air Quality,
Utility Relocation and Fiscal Analysis.
In addition, alternative proposals were offered to mitigate the negative
financial aspects of the project. However, the feasibility of the project
remains questionable.
In our opinion, the citizenry of Chula Vista is opposed to the closing of
5th Avenue to through traffic. It would seem prudent to re-evaluate the
alternate proposals to:
1. Revise the partial depression proposal to include the
ring road around the periphery to bridge aver 5th Avenue.
2. Explore a full elevation scheme to improve approach to
the 5th Avenue "Tunnel."
3. Redevelop the area between 5th Avenue and Broadway and add a
second level of mall shops.
It should also be noted that it is our opinion that in order to compete
with other "regional" shopping centers, additional major tenants would have
to commit to locate in the shopping center. It would take someone like a
Nordstrom's, Robinson's, Neiman-Marcus or Bullock's to draw sufficient
shoppers to the area to assure a financial success.
