PROJECT NAME:
Increase in height of free standing
PROJECT LOCATION: Holiday Inn
4450 Otay Valley Road
Chula Vista, CA 91911
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.: 624-060-6400
PROJECT APPLICANT: Ricki Kothari
CASE NO: IS-96-02
A. Project Settine
DATE: Septembe
The project is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of I-805 and Otay Valley
Road. Surrounding land uses include amulti-family residential development to the north,
Interstate 805 to the east, amulti-family residential development to the southwest and a service
station and strip commercial development to the west. There are three shifts per day. The
hotel is open 24 hours and maintains an estimated 40 customers per day. A total of 124
parking spaces are provided on site.
B. Project Description
The proposed project consists of increasing the heights of both the free standing sign and the
monument sign on the Holiday Inn property at 4450 Otay Valley Road. The free standing sign
will be increased in height from 50 feet to 75 feet. The monument sign will be increased from
7.5 feet to 14.6 feet. The applicant believes that the current height of these signs limits
visibility of them from I-805 northbound, southbound and eastbound on Main Street/Otay
Valley Road due to freeway landscaping. The applicant believes they have lost business due
to this.
C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The project is zoned CV-P (Visitor Commercial-Precise Plan) and has a General Plan
designation of CV (Visitor Commercial). The allowed height of a sign is not to exceed 35
feet. The project proposes to construct a 75 foot pole sign.
The project is consistent with the land use designation of the Visitor Commercial and will
conform to zoning with the approval of a Precise Plan amendment.
