Use Permit to Allow a 60 Bed Drua and
Alcohol Rehabilitation and Recoverv
Center at 3 North Second Avenue in the R-
3 Zonina District - victorv Outreach
A. BACKGROUND
The applicant, Victory Outreach, is requesting a conditional
use permit to allow a drug and alcohol rehabilitation and
recovery center to house a maximum of 60 residents. The
facility is located at 3 North Second Avenue in the R-3 Zoning
District.
The Environmental Review Coordinator conducted an Initial
Study, IS-92-10, of potential environmental impacts associated
with the implementation of the project. Based on the attached
Initial Study and comments thereon, if any, the Coordinator
has concluded that there would be no significant environmental
impacts, and recommends adoption of the Negative Declaration
issued on IS-92-10.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the Initial Study and comments on the Initial Study
and Negative Declaration, find that this project will have no
significant environmental impacts and adopt the Negative
Declaration issued on IS-92-10.
Based on findings contained in section "E" of this report,
adopt a motion recommending conditional approval to the City
Council of PCC-92-34, subject to the following conditions:
1. The application for a drug and alcohol rehabilitation and
recovery center for a maximum of 60 male adults is
conditionally approved for a one year period from the
date of final approval. Prior to the expiration of one
year, the applicant shall submit the appropriate
application form and fee in adequate time for hearing on
the extension request to be heard before the City
Council.
2. The "Rules-Men's Home" (Attachment "A") are hereby
incorporated. The management of the program shall ensure
the rules are complied with, with the exception of Item
No. 15 which shall be restated as:
"All residents of the facility shall be under 24
hour supervision, both on- and off-site. If a
resident leaves the site without authorization and

unattended, deserts while on any field trip, or
breaks any rule, he shall be expelled from the
program. Residents that complete the program, or
are released or expelled shall either be
transported to their primary place of residence or
to the victory Outreach Church at 590 Fir street in
downtown San Diego for discharge at that location."
Failure to comply with the conditions of approval, the
"Rules-Men's Home" or any other supporting material may
constitute grounds for review and possible revocation of
this permit.
3. Any substantiated conflicts with or complaints from the
surrounding neighborhood may be cause for review and
possible revocation of the permit prior to the expiration
of the one year trial period.
4. with the exception of the Nosotros program, only this
residential live-in program and those activities
associated therewith and noted in the application and
supplemental materials, including numbers of residents,
staff, programs, supervision and so on, shall occur on
the property. Any other acti vi ties, such as fund raising
or any other special or on-going activities shall receive
prior approval from the city.
5. Residents shall not be allowed to loiter or congregate in
outside designated areas. Outside activities shall be
restricted to the designated outside areas on the
easterly and northeasterly portions of the site and
complex.

7. The pole barricade in the drive next to the ground level,
enclosed patio off of the south wing shall be removed so
as to ensure access by emergency response personnel and
other vehicular traffic.
8. At no time shall any driveway or driving lane be chained
or barricaded so as to impede circulation by motor
vehicles.
9. The northern driveway shall be used only for ingress.
The southern driveway can be used for ingress and egress,

with City standards.
11. Any proposed architectural changes or changes to the
basic color scheme of the buildings shall be approved by
the Director of Planning, and permits for structural
modifications shall be obtained from the Building

and Drug Program.
b. comply with all requirements of the Chula vista
Fire Department.
c. comply with all requirements of the Chula vista

automatic revocation of the conditional use permit.
14. This permit shall be subject to any and all new,
modified, or deleted conditions imposed after adoption of
this resolution to advance a legitimate governmental
interest related to health, safety or welfare which City
shall impose after advance written notice to the

the right to be heard with regard thereto. However, the
City, in exercising this reserved right/condition, may
not impose a substantial expense or deprive Permittee of
a substantial revenue source which the Permittee can not,
in the normal operation of the use permitted, be expected
to economically recover.
15. This conditional use permit shall become void and
ineffective if not utilized within one year from the
effective date thereof, in accordance with Section
19.14.260 of the Municipal Code. Failure to comply with

Existinq site characteristics
The proposed project is located on a 4.8 acre site situated on
a ridge line which drops off sharply to the east, to KOA
Kampground, and more gently to the west and north to North
Second Avenue. Adjacent land uses include single-family homes
to the west and south, and open space and the KOA Kampground
to the north and east. The site contains two main buildings,
several accessory buildings, and approximately 54 on-site
parking spaces. Access is provided by two driveways off of
North Second Avenue. Victory Outreach plans to occupy the
larger 22,000 square foot structure on the northern portion of
the site as well as approximately 7,000 square feet in the
education building between the two main structures, the
triangular recreational building to the north of the main
structure and the smaller square storage building along the
eastern edge of the site.
The existing facility has been used in the past as a
residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed
youth, first by vista Hill and more recently by Southwood
Psychiatric. In February of 1991, Southwood vacated the site
and consolidated operations at their Third Avenue facility.
On November 6, 1991, a conditional use permit, PCC-92-06, was
granted for a two-year period establishing a 12-bed
residential treatment facility for recovering alcoholics. The
approximately 3,000 square foot structure is used by and
called the Nosotros Recovery Home and is located on the
southerly portion of the property. This facility uses the
smaller of the two main structures as a residential recovery
home, as well as three adjacent mobile trailer homes for
classrooms and 24 off-street parking spaces. The estimated
stay for a resident with Nosotros is between three months and
one year.

Proposed use
Victory Outreach, the applicant, plans to lease the facility
for five years and is proposing to provide an alcohol and drug
rehabilitation and recovery program, including residential
care, religious and counseling support for a maximum of 60
male adults 18 years and older. This proposal would
centralize Victory Outreach's services for San Diego County in
the South Bay area. The center is proposed as a live-in
facility as opposed to a drop-in care center.
The admission criteria, as required by the State of California
Drug Abuse Treatment Program and by Victory Outreach, is
designed for individuals with primary drug and/or alcohol
abuse problems. Each potential resident is screened and,
among other admission criteria, must not have a history of
violent behavior or mental disorders, must not be a sex
offender, nor have a severe medical condition, including AIDS.
Once an individual is accepted, they are strip-searched to
ensure no drugs or weapons are brought into the facility. In
addition, there are periodic room searches. A copy of
"Persons Not Accepted Into Rehab Program" is attached as
Attachment "B" and "victory Outreach Christian Residential
Rehabilitation Program" is attached as Attachment "C".
At a public workshop held in the Council Chambers by Victory
Outreach on April 16, 1992, they stated that potential
residents are referred to the facility for a period of six
months to one year from a variety of sources. The majority of
referrals come from families, churches, schools and community
groups. A small percentage of residents are court referrals.
victory Outreach staff pointed out that of the 66 current
residents in existing facilities, only six are court
referrals.
Seventy-five percent of funding is through tithing by members
of Victory Outreach Church and through personal donations
given by non-Church members. The remaining twenty-five
percent comes from County General Relief funds.
It is estimated that eighty percent of the residents would be
from San Diego County, 18% from other southern California
cities, and 2% from other states.
Services provided to residents include a minimum of 20 hours
per week of pastoral counseling, structured therapeutic
activities, volunteer tutorial services, vocational counseling
and training through existing County and State agencies, job
referral placement, legal services, social recreational
services, and individual family counseling through community
PCC-92-34 - Victory Outreach
Mav 13. 1992
Page 6
services. Residents are taken to the various agencies in
order to obtain these services. within the first 30 days of
admission, a treatment plan is structured for each resident.
A copy of the "Victory Outreach Daily Schedule" is attached as
Attachment "D".
Residents are not permitted to have vehicles on-site or to
wander from the grounds or on the grounds unattended and
without authorization. In the event a resident leaves the
facility unattended and without authorization, or deserts
while on an outing, the project rules (Attachment "A"), as
amended per staff recommendation, would require that the
resident be expelled from the program and be either escorted
to his primary place or residence or to the Victory Outreach
Church in San Diego for discharge.
visits by family or friends are discouraged at the facility.
Instead, visiting occurs primarily on Sundays at the Victory
Outreach Church located at 590 Fir Street in San Diego.
California Administrative Code, Title 9, section 10564
(Attachment "E") outlines the qualifications for staff and the
facility administrator. Among other qualifications
counsellors, including volunteers, "shall be competent to
provide the services necessary to provide services as
described in the plan of operation".
The counselling staff are trained on a quarterly basis at a
victory Outreach facility in La Puente, California. Every two
months there is additional in-house training which consists of
instruction in counselling, rule enforcement, and learning the
phases a resident goes through during recovery. The State
will license the facility with respect to health and safety
factors, but does not require any particular credentials of
staff, other than those cited in the previous paragraph, nor
does it set a particular staff-to-resident ratio. Per Title
9, the State does, however, have the authority to require
additional staff if it is deemed that the staff "is unable to
provide services as described in the plan of operation".
To ensure orderliness in daily activities and 24 hour on-site
supervision, the counselling staff consists of 21 former
residents of the victory Outreach program, with 18 present
during the day and five present during the night. Since the
facility has four wings which house 15 residents each, each
wing will have a wing supervisor, head staff, and two other
staff members supervising the residents. The night shift will
have four night wing managers and one night security, who will
remain awake throughout the night to ensure that residents do
not attempt to leave the facility, among other duties.
PCC-92-34 - Victory Outreach
Mav 13. 1992
Page 7
The responsibilities of the counselling staff include turning
in weekly rosters of residents, preparing progress reports and
keeping up-to-date files on each resident. They also monitor
and supervise residents' daily activities, transport them to
medical, legal and work appointments and recreational
activities, as well as counsel residents on a one-on-one
basis, lead group sessions with residents and meet once a week
with other staff members and wing supervisors to discuss
residents' progress.
There will also be six administrative staff who will be on-
site during regular business hours.
The facility currently has 54 auto parking spaces and one
space for a bus. The site plan shows an additional space for
bus parking along the northern building. Twenty-four of the
parking spaces are being used by Nosotros. Since the
residents are not permitted to have their own vehicles,
Victory Outreach will require 24 parking spaces for the 18
counsellors and six administrative staff on the day shift, but
have 30 available. In the event more than 30 spaces are
needed, the administrators of Nosotros have agreed to allow
the use of six of their spaces.
The on-site parking exceeds the requirements of Chapter 19.62,
Off-Street Parking and Loading, Zoning Ordinance. This live-
in facility is similar to a nursing home or convalescent
hospital (19.62.050.13 and "NOTE" after 19.62.050.27) which
requires a ratio of one parking space for each three beds.
This would result in a requirement of 20 spaces for the
Victory Outreach program and four for the Nosotros program or
a minimum of 24 spaces on the property. Instead, there are
54.
The site plan shows a "proposed fence" separating the area to
be used by victory Outreach from the Nosotros portion of the
site. Because this fence is unnecessary and may hamper access
by emergency response personnel, it is conditioned to be
deleted from the site plan and not constructed.
As of the writing of this report, approximately eighty-five
letters of support, including one from State Senator Waddi P.
Deddeh, and six letters of opposition from area residents have
been received. The letters of support mainly state that the
type of program Victory Outreach is proposing will benefit
Chula vista and the County and that the location and facility
are ideal. Those opposing the project mention land use
compatibility, traffic and decreased property values as issues
of concern.

D. ANALYSIS
The parcel is zoned R-3 and will have a General Plan
designation of PUblic/Quasi-Public once the Lower Sweetwater
Special Study Area General Plan Amendment has been processed.
The proposed use is, however, unclassified and requires the
approval of a conditional use permit in order to locate at
this particular site.
This facility was historically used for institutional purposes
such as residential treatment/rehabilitation, including vista
Hill and Southwood Psychiatric facilities, and now the
Nosotros program. The Nosotros recovery home is compatible
with the victory Outreach operation as both programs are for
adult males, with similar staff approaches, and both programs
deal with either drug or alcohol rehabilitation.
The "Rules-Men's Home" (Attachment "A"), "Persons Not Accepted
Into Rehab Program" (Attachment "B"), "victory Outreach
Christian Residential Rehabilitation Program" (Attachment "C")
and "victory Outreach Daily Schedule" (Attachment "D") and
other supporting documentation indicate that the program is
dedicated to the rehabilitation of drug and alcohol users and
will admit only persons who are genuinely seeking recovery
from their drug or alcohol problem.
Planning Staff visited the church facility at 590 Fir Street
in San Diego and the woman's facility on Graves Street in EI
cajon. Staff was impressed with the appearance and upkeep of
these structures because each was well kept, even though older
than the majority of structures in the immediate vicinity.
The interiors were also clean and neat in that meeting areas,
kitchens, bedrooms, etc., were well ordered, sanitary and in
good repair.
To ensure safer ingress and egress from the complex, it is
conditioned that the northern driveway shall be used as an
entry point only, while the southern driveway can be used for
both entering and exiting. Both driveways, however, must be
marked and posted to the satisfaction of the Traffic Engineer.
This project must be licensed by the State of California Drug
and Alcohol Program. To be licensed, Victory Outreach must
ensure the health and safety of residents of the facility.
The state will also specify the maximum number of occupants
based on an inspection by the Fire Marshall after approval of
the conditional use permit. This means that if the Fire
Marshall approves occupancy for only 50 residents, this is the
maximum that can be allowed into the program. However, if the
Fire Marshall approves occupancy for 70, the maximum that may
PCC-92-34 - Victory Outreach
Mav 13. 1992
Page 9
be in the facility is 60, because then the conditions of
approval would be the limiting factor.
Based upon these factors and subject to the conditions noted,
Staff believes it is appropriate to recommend approval to the
city council for an initial one year period, subject to
extension by the Council upon a finding that the facility has
functioned as stated by victory Outreach in meetings and in
their literature, and as conditioned in this report.
E. FINDINGS
1. That the proposed use at the 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 conditional approval of PCC-92-34 at the proposed
location is necessary and desirable in order to provide
a service which will contribute to the general well being
of the community in that there is an existing, under-
utilized facility in place, and the service to be
provided by Victory Outreach will contribute to the
community by assisting in the rehabilitation of drug and
alcohol users.
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 conditional approval of PCC-92-34 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 project vicinity or injurious to
property or improvements in the project vicinity in that,
as a condition of approval, there will be 24 hour
security at the facility to ensure that the residents do
not leave the compound without authorization, and in that
potential residents are screened by victory Outreach who
will not admit people with violent, psychotic or deviant
personal histories or persons with severe medical
conditions, including AIDS. victory Outreach has also
assured the City that activities are organized and
conducted in a manner which will not adversely impact the
residential enjoyment of surrounding neighbors.

3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations
and conditions specified in the Municipal Code for such
use.
The conditional approval of PCC-92-34 complies with the
regulations and conditions of the Municipal Code in that
the project is conditioned to comply with the
requirements of all applicable City departments and will
not generate excessive traffic nor require extra on-site
parking.
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.
The conditional approval of PCC-92-34 will not adversely
affect the General Plan of the City or the adopted plan
of any government agency in that the project conforms to
the Public/Quasi Public land use designation of the
General Plan Amendment for the Lower Sweetwater Special
Study Area.

VICTORY OUTREACH CHRISTIAN
RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
The purpose of this document is to describe the Victory Outreach
Rehabilitation Home residential program. admission criteria process.
the program structure and treatment protocol and a basic rundown of
our rehabilitation policies.
ADMISSION CRITERIA
The program has been carefully structured and designed into four
phases. as follows:
I. Intake and Introduction
II. Residential Program and Treatment Process
III. Re-Entry. Pre-Outpatient Treatment Process
IV. Outpatient Rehab. Process and Follow-up
Following is fUI:ther information on each of the phases of the pro-
gram:
I. PHASE I - INTAKE AND INTRODUCTION
The individual who is bound by drug addiction and wants to enter
the program is initially interviewed by the Director of the Victory
Outreach Rehabilitation Home. The purpose of the interview is to de-
termine if there is a sincere desire to stop using drugs and willing-
ness to become fully involved in the program. Many individuals corne
with the sole motive of breaking their physical habits and do not
want to participate in or finish the program. Our desire is to see an
individual fully benefit from all the aspects offered by our program.
Upon acceptance into the program. the resident is assigned a bed. in-
formed of the house rules. and made aware of the schedule and expect-
ations of daily program participation.
Special provisions are made for residents in the process of detox-
ification. Detoxification usuallly lasts three to four days. After
this period. the resident is assigned to a counselor and a Personal
History form is completed. The resident's criminal record and (pend-
ing/future) court appearances are noted on the record of future refer-
ence.
II. PHASE II - RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM AND TREATMENT PROTOCOL
A. RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM
The counselor meets with the Director on a weekly basis to
give him an (oral/overview) review of ihe resident's status. The re-
view consists of an assessment of the resident's progress and sit-
uation in the following areas:
1. Resident's Attitude
Attitude toward authority; personal hygiene; punc-
tuality; sincerity; emotional stability; dependability; cooper-
ation; and interest in the spiritual aspect of the program.
2. Resident's FamilY
The counselor contacts the resident's family and
attempts to get them involved in the pJ:ogJ:am. The counselor ex-
plains the program functions and our methods for dealing with drug
addiction. The family is also prepared for paJ:ticipation in needed
supportive services such as Marital Counselling. Parenting problems
and/or Financial Planning.
3. Attitude of Resident's Spouse
Often the spouse of an addict is not interested in the
program because of the resident's past failed attempts to stop
us ing drugs. As a J:esul t. numerous peJ:sonal contacts aJ:e re.qui red
by the counselor to develop a sense of trust. confidence and new'
hope for changes within the resident.
Con tacts are generally also made and continuously
nourished by the mature Christian men leaders in the church. Many
of our women leaders have come from similar backgrounds enabling
them to be more understanding and appropriately speak to the needs
of the women residents.
B. TREATMENT PROTOCOL
The goal of the Victory Outreach Rehabilitation Home is to
carefully mold an addict into a responsible, productive individual
with a sense of values and self-respect so that he/she is capable
of living a resourceful. happy life with her family and within his/
her community.
Victory Outreach's unique. spirit-filled Discipleship Pro-
gram assists each person on an individual basis to re-establish
sensible values and obtainable morals to re-direct and guide his/her
life in a positive direction.
The Victory Outreach Discipleship Program specifically focuses on
four areas. as follows:
1. Therapeutic Counsellinq
a) The counselor advises and orients the resident to-
ward correcting the instability in hi~/her life.
b) The resident learns how to satisfy his/her essential
(spiritual) needs by: researching available resources and using
our information bank.
-2-
c) Through counselling. the resident is enlightened
and assisted in realizing his/her proper and natural place in life.
2. Natural Career Development
Through family counselling and career orientation each
resident learns to acknowledge his/herself as a complex person. how
to handle the responsibility of his/her various roles in relation
to his/her spouse. family and to provide for their livelihood.
3. Character Buildinq
The resident learns how to overcome his/her fears. com-
plexes and deficiencies and regain strength and confidence by a
chaJ:acteJ: rebuilding process which includes:
a) Learning his/her proper and natural place of order
in his/her family as the protector and provider of love for his/her
family and/or spouse.
Clients are also taught the wisdom of seeking assis-
tance in such matters as Marriage and Family Christian Counselling.
Community Health. Financial Planning and Effective ChJ:istian Child
Rearing.
III. PHASE THREE - RE-ENTRY. PRE-OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION PROCESS
The counselor is responsible for assessing the resident's
skills or lack of. and for developing an appropriate program. The
resident must either work or attend school.
In this phase. the resident continues to be assigned to a
counselor and must comply with the rules of the Home. However. the
resident may ocasionally stay overnight with his/her family.
The follmling services are offeJ:ed in the Re-entry Process:
*** Sheltered Living Situation
*** Individual and Group Counselling
*** Vocational Counselling
IV. PHASE FOUR - OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION PROCESS AND FOLLOH UP
Once the resident moves out of the Home and is reunited with
his/he): family and is established in the community. a follow-up
team visits on a weekly basis to encourage the family's active part-
icipation in the church and continuous tellowship with other positive
thinking. productive and mature Christians.
-3-
,
These visits are reduced to once a week and then once every
two weeks and after careful observation. to once a month until the
Team feels confident that the individual is productivelY involved
with his/her family and work environment.
Victory Outreach conducts recreational and socializing functions for
church members. residents and their families primarilY for the pur-
pose of teaching and re-educating them on how to have fun and enjoy

ivities to develop a spirit of team work. cooperativeness and col-
laboration.

Ian Diego, CA,

(6191237 0373
Victory Outreach San Diego is a part of a Christian
organization established for over 25 years with churches all
over the united States and many foreign countries. I have
personally been involved with this ministry for 17 years.
During this time, we have applied for countless conditional
use permits and because of this experience we are aware of
the many relevant concerns of the community residents when a
drug and alcohol program moves into a neighborhood. Because
Victory Outreach is a Christian church that meets a community
need with a drug program and not just a drug program that
attends a church. We have designed our program to eliminate
some of these community concerns.
First of all, the director of the facility is account-
able to our church staff and not to some out of town agency,
buracracy or committee. We are therefore available to res-
pond to concerns or problems immediately and there is no need
to wait for days to receive a response. This is a church
controlled program and we are concerned with our relationship
with our community.
You may have some preconceived ideas about our program be-
cause our program receives court referrals. We are a church
recognized by the courts as an alternative to sentencing, not
a correctional facility. We are under no obligation to
accept any potentially dangerous resident into our program.
Our program is so integrated with our church activities that
we will not endanger our church families or children with sex
offenders, persons with mental disorders and persons with un-
usually violent behavior.
Another community concern is traffic in the neighbor-
hood. To eliminate unnecessary traffic, we do not conduct
out-patient counselling at the site. Referrals and prequa1i-
fications are done at our downtown church location at 6th and
Fir Streets. Residents are not allowed to bring privately
owned vehicles to the facility. Staff vehicles used during
the day are approximately 7 or 8 and we have 7 to 10 church
vehicles used for transporting residents for a ntaximum of 15
to 20 vehicles at any given time.
Pas tor
Tony ond Nellie
Gu zmon
We are aware that residents are also concerned with
vagrancy problems. We are structured to provide 24-hour
supervision of residents and the residents' schedule is an
intensive one which begins at 5:30 a.m. and we have "lights
out" at 10:00 a.m. Residents are not permitted to leave the
facility and wander the grounds unsupervised. When a resid-
ent is terminated from our program, he will be escorted to
the city bus terminal or trolley station by program staff.
Because this is a church program the rules include no smoking
no drugs or alcohol, no loud parties and a dress code is
strictly adhered to at all times.
Lastly, Victory Outreach knows that any caring community
is concerned with the integrity of the program coming into
their neighborhood. We have been recognized from the state
White House to the Federal White House for the last 25 years
and we are prepared to provide you with a list of supporters.
victory Outreach is willing to sit down with anyone who is
good faith would like to go over our credentials . We are
open to anyone to come and che~ out our present
facilities, beginning with our church at 590 Fir street
across from Balboa Park, as well as our rehabilitation
facilities. We will provide aw tour to interested persons of
our rehabilitation facilitie4s by contacting me or my
rehabilitation overseer, Tomas Rodrique~, at 2~0373.
Victory Outreach will make effort to make our program an
asset to the city Of Chula vista as we also desire to be a
complement to the efforts of the community as it addresses
its concerns in the areas of gangs, drugs and alcoholism.

WilD IS VICTORY OUTREACH
Victory Outreach began in Los Angeles over twenty-five years
ago. We now cover fourteen states and six countries. We work
maillly with drug addicts. alcoholics. gang members and those
with criminal backgrounds.
At the present time. Victory Outreach San Diego is accountable
for [our (4) drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities th:ough-
out San Diego fOJ~ men a~d women, these aJ;e 24 hou)~1 live-
in fully supervised facilities. The duration of the program is
fJ~O[11 9 to 12 months depending on individual growth. The paJ;L-
icipanL's pl1ysicalr emotioIlal ~nd spiritual needs aJ~e met and
th~y are then reintegrated into society with new values pluS a
more positive lifestyle.
PURPOSE
The philosophy of Victorv Outreach is three-fold: (1) to
J:euch the dJ:ug addict; (2) to tJ:ain them; (3) then to ser.d them
back to J:e~c]1 someone else.
It is cJ:itical t11at a dJ:ug addict be sepa];ated fJ~Offi his WOJ:ld
and get IlurtuJ:ed in a posi ti ve enviJ:onmont. That is \":hy ":8 have
J:ellilbili tation homes that aJ:e st1)[fed 24-hours per day and are
structured in a christian home munner. The addict learns to pray.
study the bible. learn and apply Christian principals to his
life. During this time he begins to devolope a church lifestyle.
Our church is structured as a support and fOllow-up group. The
"New Christian " is then integrated through the church back again
illLo society with a lifestyle totally separated from his past.
~e ilJ:e now developi~g a new support gJ~O~p called the Love CiJ:cle
590 Fir Street. San Diego, CA 92101
for those that don't need residential treatment and for grad-
uates during their adjustment period.
LICENSING
The licensing reqirements. for our type of program. fall under
the State of California. Department of Alcohol and Drug Program.
The analyst assigned to our program is Ronald I. Bevers. assigned
from the Licensing and Certification Branch.
We have previously applied for state licensing at our previous
location but because of zoning requirements we have had to J;e-
locate. As soon as we receive our Conditional Use Permit for this
facility, we will begin once again to submit appropiate documents
to the Department of Drug and Alcohol for processing.

I would like to take this opportunity to endorse victory
Outreach Church's application to obtain a conditional use
permit to provide drug and alcohol recovery services at 3
North Second Avenue in Chula vista.
Victory Outreach has been involved in drug and alcohol related
services for almost three decades. During this time Victory
outreach Church, through it's superior supervision and
staff, has a proven track record of effectively integrating
rehabilitation services with the surrounding neighborhood, so,
the make-up of the neighborhood is not disturbed or changed.
This agency has consistently demonstrated its ability to be
sensitive to the needs of its clients as well as the
community.
Finally, it is of great importance that the community of Chula
vista have access to the special services that Victory
outreach Church has to offer. So once again, I would strongly
urge the Planning commission to grant Victory Outreach their
request for a conditional use permit, for it has clearly
demonstrated a unique ability to provide meaningful services
to a population that all too often does not receive the kind
of attention that is required.
Sincerely, _

590 Fir Street, San Diego
CASE NO: IS-92-30
DATE: April 3, 1992
A. Proiect SettinQ
The proposed project is located at 3 North Second Avenue, on a 4.8 acre
site situated on a ridge line which drops off sharply to the east, to KOA
Kampground and more gently to the west and north to North Second Avenue.
Adjacent land uses include single-family homes to the west and south, and
open space and the KOA Kampground to the north and east. The site has
previously been disturbed and contains two main buildings, several
accessory buildings, and approximately 54 on-site parking spaces (much of
the parking space striping has faded). Access is provided by two
driveways off North Second Avenue. There are no sensitive plant or animal
resources on the site.
The existing facility on site has been used in the past as a 60-bed
residential treatment facility for emotionally disturbed youngsters --
,first by Vista Hill and more recently by Southwood Psychiatric. In
February of 1991, Southwood vacated the site and con so 1 idated ope rat ions
at their Third Avenue facility.
On November 6, 1991, a condjtional use permit PCC-92-06 was granted
establishing a 12-bed residential treatment facility for recovering
alcohol ics for a two-year period. The "Nosotros" Recovery Home for Latino
men is located on the southerly portion of the property. Thi,s facil ity
uses the smaller of the two main structures as a residential recovery home
three adjacent mobile trailer homes for classrooms and 30 off-street
parking spaces. The estimated stay is between three months and one year.
B. Proiect DescriDtion
The proposed project is titled "Victory Homes of San Diego". Victory
Outreach, the appl icant, has leased the facil ity for four years and is
proposi ng to provide an alcohol and drug rehabil i tat i on program i ncl udi ng
residential care, and religious and counseling support to male and female
adults 18 years and older. This proposal would centralize the services
for San Diego County in the South Bay area.
The admission criteria, as required by the State of California Drug Abuse
Treatment Program, is designed for individuals with primary drug abuse r
problems. Sixty adults with no history of violent behavior are referr~\~

to the facil ity for a period of six months to one year from a variety of
sources including: probation officers, courts, churches, social workers,
and community services. The average stay is six months to one year and
funding is through personal donations and guaranteed income payments.
Eighty percent of the residents would be from San Diego County eighteen
percent would be from other southern California cities, two percent would
be from other states.
Services provided to residents include: a minimum of 20 hours per week of
pastoral counseling, structured therapeutic activities, volunteer tutorial
servi ces, vocat i ona 1 counsel i ng and tra i ni ng through exi st i ng County and
State agencies, job referral placement, legal services, social
recreational services, and individual family counseling through community
services. The services listed above do not take place on the site.
Within the first 30 days of admission, a treatment plan is structured for
each resident.
Residents are not permitted to have vehicles on site. Twenty staff who
are trained by "Victory Homes" will be on site from 6:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. Night Managers will be there between 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.
Security will be provided between 10 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
If a conditional use permit is granted to permit this facility to be used
as proposed, the staff of Victory Outreach state that the residents and
use of the current "Nosotros" recovery home on the property wi 11 be
compatible as both programs are for adults, with similar staff approaches
and both programs deal with either drug or alcohol rehabilitation.
C. ComDatibilitv with ZoninQ and General Plans
The General Plan designation is mistakenly shown as Open Space on the
Genera 1 Pl an Map. As part of the Lower Sweetwater Speci a 1 Study Area
General Plan Amendment, thi s site wi 11 be redes ignated as Publ i c/Quas i
Public. The proposed project implements this designation. The zoning is
R-3 "Apartment Residential". The Chula Vista Municipal Code requires a
Conditional Use Permit for the proposed facility. With compliance to the
conditions of approval for the Conditional Use Permit, the proposed
project would be compatible with the zoning.
D. ComDliance with the Threshold/Standards Policy
1. Fi re/EMS
The Threshold/Standards Pol icy requires that fire and medical units
must be abl e to respond to calls withi n 7 mi nutes or 1 ess in 85% of
the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75% of the cases. The City
of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold standard will be
met, since the nearest fire station is 1-1/2 miles away and would be
associated with a 4 minute response time. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Policy.
The Fi re Department states that the proposed fence on the east side
of the facility is unacceptable, as it blocks the required fire
apparatus access. In order to make certain that bus parking
associated with the facil ity does not interfere with fire apparatus
access, a clear width of 20 feet must be maintained at all times
pursuant to Uniform Fire Code results.
- 3 -
The Fire Department will require additional information from the
applicant, including the number of occupants, type and scope of the
program. The Fire Department further requires that the alarm and
sprinkler systems be maintained in an operable condition at all
times. Additionally, information on whether any occupants will be
ambulatory is required. The applicant must provide the Fire
Department with plans detailing all fire protection equipment on
site, as the occupancy classification of the facility.
2. Po 1 ice
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that police units must
respond to 84% of Pri ority 1 call s wi thi n 7 mi nutes or 1 ess and
maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5
minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2
calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time
to all Pri ority 2 calls of 7 mi nutes or 1 ess. The proposed project
will comply with this Threshold Policy.
The Police Department has indicated that an acceptable level of
service will be maintained for this project.
3. Traffic
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must
operate at a Level of Service (LOS) "CO or better, with the exception
that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur during the peak two hours
of the day at signal i zed intersections. Intersections west of I-80S
are not to operate at a LOS below thei r 1987 LOS. No intersect i on
may reach LOS "E" or "F" during the average weekday peak hour.
Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this
policy. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Policy.
The exi sting level of service (LOS) for North Second Avenue is "CO
and the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is 5,070. After completion of
the project, the LOS would remain "CO and the ADT would be 5,430.
The traffic generated would not exceed existing pre-approved uses.
The Engineering Department may require an irrevocable offer of
dedication. North Second Avenue is designated as a Class I Collector
in the Chula Vista General Plan. Sufficient dedication may be
required to meet the half-width standards of said dedication.
4. Parks/Recreation

5. Drainage
The Threshol d/Standards Pol icy requi res that storm water flows and
volumes not exceed City Engineer Standards. Individual projects will
provide necessary improvements consistent with the Drainage Master
Pl an (s) and Ci ty Engi neeri ng Standards. The proposed project wi 11
comply with this Threshold Policy.
On-site drainage is surface flow to Second Avenue. Off-site surface
water flows north to a downstream curb inlet which discharges to the
Sweetwater River. The City Engineering Department has determined
that these facilities are adequate to serve the proposed project.
6. Sewer
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that sewage flows and volumes
shall not exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects
will provide necessary improvements consistent with Sewer Master
Pl an (s) and Ci ty Engi neeri ng Standards. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Policy.
The existing 6" sewer lateral on-site, which connects to 8" VCP in
North Second Avenue is adequate to serve the proposed project. The
proposed project will not cause sewage waste to exceed existing use.
7. Water
The Threshol d/Standards Pol icy requi res that adequate storage,
treatment, and transmission facilities are constructed concurrently
with planned growth and that water quality standards are not
jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project
will comply with this Threshold Policy.
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista determined that the
proposed project will not have a significant environmental effect, and the
preparat i on of an Envi ronmenta 1 Impact Report wi 11 not be requi red. A
Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of
the State CEQA Guidelines.
The following impacts have been determined to be less than significant. A
discussion of each of these less than significant impacts from the
proposed project follows.
Water
Due to recent drought conditions, as a condition of project approval, the
applicant must agree to no net increase in water consumption or
participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the City
of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
- 5 -
Traffic
The Engineering Department may require an irrevocable offer of
dedi cat i on. North Second Avenue is des i gnated as a C1 ass I Co11 ector in
the Chula Vista General Plan. Sufficient dedication may be required to
meet the half width standards of said dedication.
Land Use
As stated under sect i on C. ComDat i bil i tv wi th Zoni no and General Plan,
with an approved conditional use permit, this project will be compatible
with the zoning and the General Plan as redesignated as Public/Quasi
Public. As there are single family homes to the west and the south and as
this location has been used for a number of years for a treatment center
it is to be expected that there may be questions regarding the security of
the use, and whether as a land use it is compatible with the surrounding
single family residences. With attention to concerns that may come from
surrounding residents and the addressment of those concerns in the form of
conditions, this could be a compatible land use.
Noise
As a zoning enforcement official in E1 Cajon, where another Victory
Outreach Home is located ment i oned that neighbors have made comp1 a i nts
about noise from the facility. Strict regulations regarding noise should
be required as one of the conditions on the conditional use permit.
Fire
The proposed fence on the east side of the facility is unacceptable as it
blocks the required fire apparatus access. The fire apparatus access must
have a 20 foot wide clearance maintained at all times.
The applicant is required to forward to the fire department details on the
number of occupants, type and scope of the program, number of ambulatory
clients if any, plans detailing all protection equipment on site, and the
occupancy classification of the facility.
The app 1 i cant further is requi red to make sure that the fi re alarm and
sprinkler systems be maintained in an operable condition at all times.
Enoineerina
The' Engineering Department may require an irrevocable offer of
dedication. Sufficient dedication may be required to meet the half-width
standards of said dedication.
Schools
School Fees will be required unless the project is found to be exempt
pursuant to Communi ty Care Laws. Resident i a 1 structures have been
required to pay fees to mitigate school costs.

mitigation will be required.
G. FindinQs of InsiQnificant ImDact
Based on the following findings, it is determined that the project
described above will not have a significant environmental impact and no
environmental impact report needs to be prepared.
with any significant or potentially
therefore, no project specific
1. The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of
the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or
wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or an i mal, or e 1 i mi nate important examples of the
major periods of California history or prehistory.
The proposed project does not have the potential to substant i ally
degrade the quality of the natural environment. The site is
currently developed and there are no endangered plant or animal
species present. There are no cultural or historic resources on the
site.
2. The project has the potential to achieve short-term environmental
goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals.
The project wi 11 not achi eve short-term envi ronmenta 1 goals at the
expense of long-term environmental goals because these long-term
goals will be achieved through the conditional use permit process and
the conditions of project approval. With compliance to the
conditions of a CUP, the project will be consistent with the zoning
designation.
3. The project has possible effects which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, "cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual
project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects
of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects.
The proposed project will not result in any significant adverse
environmental effects which are cumulative in nature, provided all
condit ions pursuant to the issuance of a CUP are fulfi 11 ed. The
group home is not expected to result in secondary projects or have a
growth inducing influence.
4_ The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
- 7 -
There are no environmental effects from the project which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings either directly or
indirectly. No public health impacts were identified in the Initial
Study.

RE: IS - 92 - 30
Victory Outreach Church
Drug & Alchol Reh..b.- 3 N. 2nd Ave.,Chul.. Vista
We belive this proJect will have a signific..nt effect on
the environment of the neighborhood and the City of Chula
Vista. We ask that an enviromental study be required for
this proJect.
In a letter from the applicant they stated they will be
providing services to addicts and their families. The first
question should be will the f..milies be living there with
children attending the already crowed schools serving the
..rea? The most serious problem will be the security in the
neighborhood. Victory Outreach Church indicates their
interest is in working with addicts. Narcotic and durg
addicts h..ve already shown .. disreg..rd for our l..ws.
themselves, their families and the community. Most will have
been convicted or awaiting trial for narcotics or drug crimes
and other crimes such as theft, burglary, robbery; aSBult,
prostitution and v..rious others. What if any security ..nd or
supervision is provided for their charges and the surounding
neighborhood ?
The impact on the immediate neighborhood will be
devastating. The Chula Vist.. Police dep..rtment is not
staffed to handle the influx in crime with their current
police officer staffing per c..pita. This org..niz..tion will
not be contributing to the tax base, instead it will be a
drain on the public services of the City of Chula Vista.
We would like to point out that this organization has
shown a disregard for the zoning ordinance by pl..cing their
sign ..nd occuping the premisses before they were issued ..
permit. How can the neighbors be ..ssured they will not
disregard our laws and ordin..nces if they were issued a
permit? Victory Outre..ch Church professes to be .. christi..n
organization yet they ..re willing to viol..te the laws that
h..ve been est..blished for the good ..nd welfare of the City.
During the time Victory Outre..ch has been in the area we have
experienced a tremendous influx in crime which may be
coincedental, but we have had 2 Grand Thefts and 1 Petty
Theft totaling S 3.100.00 and 9 Burglaries totaling
S 11,600.00.
The neighborhood already haa 2 chemical abuae
~acilities. To permit this additional. larger ~acility is
going to alter the charcter o~ this neighborhood negativly
and permantley.
I~ residents in the area preceive the City will not give
some zoning protection they will begin to sell their homes
and leave the area. Thus causing a decline in property values
and a degradation in the peace, tranquility and security o~
the neighborhood.
Please do not give this proJect a negative declaration
so the neighborhood can have a ~ull and complete reveiw o~
the impacts this proJect will have on our Community.
Sincerely,
/~~

Dear Sir,
The Alcohol and Drug Rehabi1 itation Program on 3 North Second Avenue,
is not a good use of that land. My first thought is, is all the land
to be used for the one program or will part of it be used for another
project? It important to have the total land use designated before a
study is done. We haue Pioneers on "C' street which is for recovering
alcohol ics. This neighborhood also has Frederica Manor which has a
complete care section. I think that is sufficient for this
neighborhood. To have drug and alcohol ic addicts and their dependents
above a KOA campground, where they can easily pick up left out camping
gear or case a working neighborhood to feed their habit, is putting
temptation out to them, while increasing opportunity for crime which
is already way up in Chula Vista. In addition I have pulled out from
Bayview, going north, at a rapid pace, only to have someone attempt to
pass me in the oncoming lane, in a b1 ind, downhill curve' With those
speeds you don't want someone still groggy from drugs or alcohol or
the condition of their loved one trying to negotiate such a street.
Take a look at the turn lane by KOA and notice how the stripping is
worn away from cars going to fast to negotiate the curve so they just
straighten out the road. Builders have just put two sections of homes
in his area that sell for about a quarter of a mill ion dollars. Do
yOU think they want drugges and alcohol ics in there backyard?? I
think this is an illconveived plan. I think that are much better uses
for this land. Another builder could put quarter of million dollar
homes on it.
Sincerely,

To: ~ fhair Susan Fuller and Members of Planning Commission
From: ~ Ken Lee, Assistant Director of Planning
Subject: Planning Commission Comments on Economic Development Commission
Recommendations Regarding Permit Process Streamlining
On April 13, 1992, a joint meeting of the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the various City boards and
commissions involved in the development process was held to review the attached document.
The City Council has requested that each of the boards and commissions provide input prior to
any Council action. Because of the Planning Commission's limited meeting schedule in April,
this is the first available opportunity to bring this before the full Commission. Please review
and provide staff with any comments or recommendations you wish to forward to City Council.

CllY OF
CHULA VISTA
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
PERMIT PROCESS STREAMLINING SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
In August 1991, the Chula Vista Economic Development Commission established the following
Mission Statement: "To enhance the quality of life in Chula Vista through the promotion of a
strong local economy offering employment and business opportunities, and a healthy diversified
tax base vital to supporting City services." Among the six functional strategies the EDC
identified to meet its mission are: "1) serving as a local business networking and fact finding
resource group, 2) monitoring and evaluating programs and issues having a potential local
economic impact and formulating recommendations to Council, and 3) advocating policies which
create a positive business environment." Within this framework, the EDC selected "streamJining
the City's permit process" as its #1 priority.
The Chula Vista Economic Development Plan was adopted by the City Council at a joint
EDC/Council workshop on August 28, 1991. This Council-adopted Plan consists of specific
Goals and Objectives to "promote a strong local economy." Goal IV calls for the City to
"Develop a proactive business assistance program to encourage business retention, growth and
expansion," and specifically calls for the Council to "Assess permit processing poJicies and
identify streamlining recommendations. . . "
As a result of both Council and Commission prioritization, the EDC formed a "Permit Process
Streamlining Subcommittee," co-chaired by Ms. Patty Davis and Mr. Pete Gerber, and including
EDC Commissioner Penny Allen. The Subcommittee solicited outside expertise via "resource
people" from local business (owners and managers); active residential, commercial and industrial
development firms; architectural firms; and from Crossroads, a community-based,
environmentally-oriented group (see attached Task Force membership list). Staff support was
provided by the Chula Vista Planning Department, Building & Housing Department and
Community Development Department, with Deputy City Manager George Krempl acting as
management liaison. .
The Subcommittee's first meeting was held on in September, 1991. In November 1991, the
Mayor's proposed Local Business Task Force was merged with the EDC's Subcommittee,
adding additional local business representation. The Subcommittee divided into three "working
groups" to address three key areas of concern: 1) Design Review 2) Advisory Bodies and
Development Review Procedures and 3) Customer Service. These three groups met bimonthly
through March 1992 to develop specific streamlining recommendations to present to Council.
The underlying goal was to provide a user-friendly approach to development review and permit
- 1 -
276 FOURTH AVENUElCHULA VIST A, CALIFORNIA 919101(619) 691-504 7
approvals in the City of Chula Vista in order to encoura~e business retention and exuansion as
well as new business development.
The Subcommittee approached its task within this context of creatin~ a DOsitive Chula Vista
business environment conducive to business growth and exuansion. The Subcommittee's efforts
were also undertaken within the broader context of a statewide "economic crisis" which finds
business announcing closures, cut-backs, and relocations outside the state. While the national
recession is leading the San Diego region's economic downturn (over 15,800 jobs were lost in
San Diego between October 1990 and 1991; the county unemployment rate reached 6.8% in
January, 1992), defense budget cuts are also having a serious impact. Beyond these cyclical
factors, however, is the alarming rise in complexity of regulatory requirements , layers of
bureaucracy and costs of doing business. The EDC felt that in the area of development review
and permit processing, the Chula Vista City Council could and should make a difference. The
Subcommittee therefore set out to identify courses of action which would meet the following
general objectives:
. Reduce costly time delays for project applicants seeking approvals
. Eliminate duplication of effort at both staff and review body 1evels
. Define and/or clarify development guidelines and/or evaluation criteria, and
minimize discretionary actions
. Encourage a courteous user-friendly environment within all development-related
departments
. Provide for defined, consistent and expedited timeframes and procedures to the
maximum extent possible
The attached recommendations address:
1 Discretionary Land Use Permits and Approvals
II Design Review & Sign Review
III Boards, Commissions & Committees
IV Customer Service
.
- 2 -
Revised: April 23, 1992
I. DISCRETIONARY LAND USE PERMITS AND APPROVALS
A. CHANGE CERTAIN CONDITIONAL USFS TO PERMITTED USFS
Discussion: Certain uses which currently require a conditional use permit could be
allowed "by right," subject to meeting all other Zoning Ordinance requirements, and/or
other specific performance standards which the City could apply administratively.
B. ALLOW CERTAIN CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO BE ISSUED
ADMINISTRATIVELY
Discussion: Certain uses which currently require a conditional use permit could be
reviewed by the Zoning Administrator, and a CUP could be issued administratively,
subject to appeal to the Planning Commission and/or City Council. This approach would
be most appropriate for such uses where the CUP is used primarily to apply specific
conditions to a use to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, rather than where a
use mayor may not be acceptable depending on specific circumstances.
In cases where a written or oral protest is registered with the Zoning Administrator
regarding a proposed administrative CUP, and the concern cannot be resolved through
conditions of approval which are acceptable to both the applicant and the party filing the
protest, then the matter shall be referred to the Planning Commission. The costs of
referring the matter to the Planning Commission shall be borne by the applicant.
However, staff shall attempt to minimize these costs, and shall schedule such matters
before the Planning Commission at the earliest possible date.
C. ALLOW CERTAIN CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS TO BE APPROVED BY TIlE
PLANNING COMMISSION, RATIlER TIlAN BEING AUTOMATICALLY
REFERRED TO CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION
Discussion: Certain uses currently require a conditional use permit to be approved
.
pursuant to a public hearing by the City Council, following a public hearing and
recommendation by the Planning Commission. For many of these uses, the Planning
Commission could be given authority to approve the CUP, subject to appeal by the City
Council or any other party. In accordance with current practice, the Director of Planning
would provide written notification to the City Council of action taken by the Planning
Commission in the next City Council packet, and the Council would be required to take
any action to appeal such matter at its next regular meeting. Unless such appeal action
- 3 -
were taken by the City Council at that meeting, the action of the Planning Commission
would be final.
D. ALLOW TENTATIVE MAPS FOR INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS WITHIN PLANNED
COMMUNITIES TO BE APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION,
RATHER THAN AUTOMATICALLY BEING REFERRED TO THE CITY
COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION
Discussion: All tentative maps currently require a public hearing by both the Planning
Commission and City Council. In cases where a "master tentative map" for a planned
community has already been approved by the City Council, there appears to be little
benefit for the Council to also hold public hearings on tentative maps for individual
projects (e.g., condominiums, small-lot single-family detached projects, etc.) which are
normally processed after the master tentative map is approved.
ll. DESIGN REVIEW AND SIGN REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
A. ADOPT CONCISE AND OBJECTIVE WRITTEN GUIDELINES FOR DESIGN
REVIEW
Discussion: The City's existing Design Review Manual is outdated, and should be
replaced by a new set of design guidelines which would clearly state the City's intent
regarding building and site design, landscaping, and other design-related issues. The
guidelines should include illustrations of acceptable and unacceptable !.Iesign solutions.
These guidelines should be placed in a format which can be easily updated to reflect new
conditions or standards. In addition, staff should be able to provide examples of projects
which meet the intent of the guidelines, using plans andlor photographs of such projects.
B. CLARIFY THE ROLE OF THE DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE AND DESIGN
REVIEW PROCESS AS IT RELATES TO OTHER PLANNING REVIEW
PROCESSES
Discussion: The role of the Design Review Committee should be focussed on building
and site design issues. Other planning issues, sucn as wning (land use, parking
requirements, etc.), circulation, and environmental review should, to the maximum extent
possible, be handled by other appropriate reviewing authorities.
C. ALLOW FOR ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF A BROADER RANGE OF
PROJECTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO DESIGN REVIEW
- 4 -
Discussion: Currently staff has the authority to approve additions to buildings which
involve an increase of not more than 25 % to the building area, as well as duplexes. In
order to reduce the number of cases which need to be reviewed by the Design Review
Committee, staff should be given the authority to approve additional classes of projects,
provided that they meet the established design review guidelines. In cases where a
project which falls into such a class does not meet all of the guidelines, it could be
referred by staff to the Design Review Committee.
One example of an additional type of project which could be approved administratively
would be new commercial or industrial buildings in planned communities for which
comprehensive design guidelines have been approved by the City, and where such project
is determined to have met those guidelines. Further evaluation will be necessary to
determine what additional types of projects could be approved administratively, what
types should be automatically referred to the Design Review Committee, and what types
of should be exempt from any design review (note that currently single-family detached
houses and other minor projects are exempt from design review).
D. UPDATE THE ZONING ORDINANCE SECTIONS PERTAINING TO SIGNS,
AND ADOPT WRITTEN GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF SIGNS
Discussion: The sections of the Municipal Code dealing with sign regulations are poorly
organized and, in some cases, internally inconsistent. In addition, while the Code
establishes "maximum entitlements" which can be allowed for various types of signs in
various zones, it does not indicate what types of signs are normally considered acceptable
in specific situations. Therefore, the City should:
1) revise the Zoning Ordinance to set forth more clearly the standards and
procedures for sign review and, where necessary, eliminate redundant or
antiquated sections; and
2) adopt a set of written guidelines which indicate what types of signs and sign
programs are considered acceptable in specific situations. These guidelines
should include illustrations, as well as specific examples of approved sign
programs which conform to these guidelines. In addition, staff should be able to
provide color photographs or drawings which depict actual approved signs which
conform to these guidelines. .
E. ALWW FOR A BROADER RANGE OF SIGN PERMITS TO BE APPROVED
ADMINISTRATIVELY, AND STREAMLINE TIlE SIGN PERMIT REVIEW
PROCESS
Discussion: Staff should be given the authority to approve a sign permit for any sign
proposal which conforms to ordinance requirements and the written guidelines which are
- 5 -
proposed above. In cases where staff determines that a sign proposal does not meet
ordinance requirements or the sign guidelines, the request should be referred as quickly
as possible to the Design Review Committee for review and action, consistent with the
recently proposed ordinance revisions which are under consideration by the City Council.
F. STREMfl..INE THE APPEAL PROCESS FOR DESIGN REVIEW AND SIGN
REVIEW ACTIONS
Discussion: Currently, an appeal of an action of the Design Review Committee is heard
by the Planning Commission, and is scheduled for hearing 5-6 weeks after it is filed.
An applicant may also appeal the action of the Planning Commission to the City Council,
which requires an additional 3-4 weeks. This appeal process could be streamlined by
eliminating the appeal authority of the Planning Commission regarding design review
cases.
G. PROVIDE UPDATED APPLICATION FORMS AND .USER GUIDES" FOR
DESIGN REVIEW AND SIGN REVIEW
Discussion: In conjunction with updating the guidelines and procedures for design
review and sign review, the Planning Department should also update and simplify the
application forms, and provide a "user guide" which clearly explains the design review
process and the requirements of the applicant for submitting projects to the City for
review. In particular, this user guide should encourage applicants to schedule a pre-
application conference with City staff prior to filing a final project application, in order
to discuss issues regarding the proposed project and ensure that the applicant understands
the processing requirements for the project.
H. PROVIDE SENIOR LEVEL STAFF COORDINATION AND ADEQUATE
OVERALL STAFF SUPPORT FOR THE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
Discussion: Because of the need to coordinate the design review and sign review
processes with other City development review processes, and to ensure that overall City
objectives are met, it is important that at least one senior staff member from the Planning
Department (Senior Planner or Principal Planner) be responsible for coordination of the
design review process. This person would be responsible for attendance at all Design
Review Committee meetings, review of all staff recorrrmendations to the Design Review
Committee, review of all administrative design review and sign permit approvals, and
direct contacts with applicants as requested. In addition, this person, along with other
assigned staff, would be responsible for implementing the recommendations above
regarding development of written guidelines, updated procedures, and new forms and
user guides.

The annual operating budget for the Planning Department should specifically include a
senior-level planner position, with the appropriate education and experience to perform
these duties, as well as other necessary staff to ensure that the Planning Department can
meet the objectives outlined herein. In addition, the Planning Department should ensure
that staff assigned to the design review process receive adequate technical training, as
well as training in "customer service" skills. Furthermore, the Planning Department
should establish procedures for receiving feedback from its clients, including
questionnaires and periodic surveys of recent applicants. Finally, the City should also
ensure that fee schedules are adjusted regularly to allow the costs of providing these
services to be fully recovered by the City.
I. PLACE A HIGH PRIORITY ON IMPLEMENTING mE RECOMMENDATIONS
OUTLINED ABOVE
Discussion: By implementing the changes outlined above, the City can continue to
ensure high quality design in all new development which occurs in Chula Vista, while
reducing the delays and frustrations which are often associated with the design review
process. The City Council should assure that adequate staff resources are provided to
institute these changes as soon as possible, and should appoint representatives of the
Design Review Committee, the business community, design professionals, and other
community interests to work with staff in implementing these recommendations.
111. BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES
A. RESTRICT mE ROLE OF THE PROJECT AREA COMMITTEES (PACs) TO
mE SPECIFIC DUTIES REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA REDEVELOPMENT
LAW; DISBAND mE TOWN CENTRE I & II AND OTAY VALLEY PACs
WImIN ONE YEAR; Al\'D DISBAND mE SOUTIlWEST PAC IN TIIREE
YEARS FROM ITS FORMATION.
Discussion: The California Health and Safety Code requires a Project Area Committee
(pAC) to be established within a Project Area where "...a substantial number oflow- and
moderate-income families are to be displaced by the redevelopment project" and, further
states that the PAC should be consulted regarding ".. ..those policy matters which deal
with the planning and provision of residential facilities or replacement housing for those
to be displaced by project activities," and that, "The agency shall also consult with the
committee on other policy matters which affect the residents of the project area." These
provisions apply for a three (3) year period after adoption of each redevelopment plan,
and may be extended by the Agency by one-year intervals.
However, the Rules and By-Laws adopted by each of the three PACs state that the PAC
shall review ". ..all major proposals for the development, platting, conservation,
- 7 -
circulation, or public service of the Project Area, and shall report its findings and
recommendations to the Redevelopment Agency, Design Review Committee, or referring
body." And, under current practices, the P ACs review virtually all discretionary
applications, creating additional layers of review and time delays for redevelopment
projects, actually acting asa disincentive to development. Staff support demands are
extensive and are not reimbursed by cost recovery fees.
The three year periods have expired for TCI and II and Otay; Southwest will expire in
July, 1993. This recommendation will require Council to adopt resolutions, PACs to
amend their Rules and By-laws and the Redevelopment Project Area Procedures
Manuals/Implementation Plans to be amended.
B. CREATE A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY POLICY COMMITIEE
Discussion: In order to insure public participation in broad redevelopment policies and
programs, this committee would be charged with general oversight of Agency matters
and input regarding conceptual policy direction. It is recommended that the Committee
include at least two members from each of the existing PACs and meet bi-annually.
C. AMEND REDEVELOPMENT PLANS, PROCEDURAL MANUALS AND
IMPLEMENTATION PLANS TO BRING SPECIAL PERMIT, VARIANCE, CUP,
DRC AND OlliER PROCEDURES INTO CONFORMITY.
Discussion: Significant inconsistencies exist between Redevelopment Plans regarding the
Agency's authority to process Conditional Use Permits, a.k.a. "Special Permits". In
addition, inconsistencies exist between Redevelopment Plans and/or Project
Implementation Plans regarding the order of review by the DRC and tbe PAC.
Redevelopment Plans should be amended to enable staff to take recommendations
regarding special permits and variances directly to the Agency. The Procedures
Manuals/Implementation Plans should be amended to provide for consistent and
expeditious review of variances and Special Permits by: 1) amending the Town Centre
I Procedures Manual to conform with the Otay Valley Road Procedures Manual so that
projects go to the PAC prior to DRC*, and 2) amending the Town Centre I and Otay
Valley Road Procedures Manuals to allow the Zoning Administrator to make routine
discretionary review decisions pursuant to City Code'and the Southwest Project Area
Redevelopment Plan, and in conformance with the Subcommittee's recommendations
regarding revised CUP procedures.
* This is only applicable to the extent that the PAC continues to review projects.

D. RESTRICT THE REVIEW AUTHORITY OF THE MONTGOMERY PLANNING
COMMITTEE REGARDING LAND USE MATTERS TO LEGISLATIVE
CHANGES TO THE MONTGOMERY SPECIFIC PLAN. REVIEW THE MPC'S
ROLE IN THREE YEARS TO EVALUATE THE DESIRABILITY OF
SUNSETTING THE COMMITTEE.
Discussion: The MPC is a seven-member group that was formed by City ordinance
subject to the Montgomery Annexation in 1985. The MPC was initially charged with
recommending a community element of the General Plan and reviewing and making
recommendations regarding land uses, transportation, open space, variances, CUP's,
subdivisions, architectural review and "all other police regulations affecting land use."
The MPC's duties were revised by ordinance in November, 1990 to include "analysis of
critical planning issues," "mobilizing public agencies to develop resources," "drafting
policies," "recommending sources of public funds, " and "providing recommendations to
City departments, boards and commissions with regard to zoning, health, licensing,
building codes and public safety" in the Montgomery area.
The MPC currently reviews all major land use actions affecting the Montgomery
Community (e.g., General Plan amendments, Montgomery Specific Plan amendments,
rezoning) as well as other discretionary approvals (e.g., tentative maps, CUP's). The
recommendation recognizes the short-term need for a community group to provide input
into the remaining Special Study Areas land use decisions (e.g., Otay River and West
Fairfield) and to continue to act as an advisory body conceming other issues delineated
above (e.g., crp and CDBG review), while considering the overall goal of eliminating
duplicative layers of review, minimizing related costs and delays to business applicants,
and maximizing administrative reviews. Another consideration in narrowing this and
other advisory bodies' land use-related responsibilities is recent action by Council
instigating public forums for new planned community proposals and the extension of
public hearing notices from 500' to 1000' from the proposed project site.
The Southwest Project area is located within the Montgomery area. The City Attorney
is currently reviewing the potential merger of the MPC and the Southwest PAC.
Assuming the PAC's role is immediately limited, and the PAC is sunsetted by July 1993,
per the Subcommittee's recommendation, it should be noted that two current PAC
members are also members of the MPC.
.
E. RESTRICT THE RCC'S ROLE TO REVIEWING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORTS AND SUBMITTING COMMENTS TO STAFF.
Discussion: The RCC's role is defined in Ordinance No. 1928, (revised November
1980) to provide advice to Council "in the areas of energy conservation, resource
recovery, environmental auality. historic and prehistoric site protection and other related
fields." The ordinance further calls for a "citizen's assessment" of, among other things,
- 9 -
"the effects of individual projects being subjected to environmental review. . ." The
Subcommittee's recommendation would allow the RCC to provide comments/questions
to the ElR consultant and City Environmental Coordinator, while eliminating the need
for applicants (and their costly consultants) to appear before the RCC either in a public
meeting or public hearing format. The recommendation reflects the lack of any state
legal mandate for a separate City committee to review or conduct environmental
analyses. The review by Chula Vista's RCC is being undertaken in addition to that of
the City's internal departments and Environmental Review Coordinator; the surrounding
property owners routinely receiving the Notice of the EIR; the numerous public and
private agencies/organizations routinely receiving Notice of the EIR; and the EIR public
hearings before both the PC and the City Council. Again, the recommendation reflects
the desire to streamline the process by eliminating unnecessary duplication and resulting
costs and delays, while still insuring adequate public review.
F. SCHEDULE PERIODIC REVIEWS OF ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
WHICH HAVE AUTHORITY OVER LAND USE MATIERS, TO EVALUATE
TIIEIR SPECmC FUNCTIONS AND PERFORMANCE, AND DETERMINE
WHETIIER CHANGES ARE WARRANTED
Discussion: There are several boards and commissions which currently have authority
to review land use matters within the City of Chula Vista. The roles and duties of many
of these boards and commissions have changed over time, both in response to specific
direction from the City Council, and as a result of decisions made by the boards and
commissions themselves. There should be a periodic review of all boards and
commissions at least every three to four years to evaluate the specific functions being
performed by each board and commission, the effects of their aetions on permit
processing schedules, the level of staff support required, and overlapping duties among
various boards and commissions.
IV. CUSTOMER SERVICE
A. BULLETIN BOARD
Discussion: In recent years development fees have been adjusted several times. There
have been changes in engineering requirements due to adoption of zoning changes and
completion of studies. Many of these changes have trapped unwary applicants in the
middle of project planning, in some cases causing expensive redesign or refinancing. A
bulletin board should be placed inside the hallway near the Planning Department counter.
Pending changes in fees, street widening, zoning ordinances, and other items which
would be helpful to applicants would be posted. Also, copies of the brochures mentioned
below would be displayed, with directions on how to get them. All applications would
direct applicants to check the bulletin board for changes which might affect them.
- 10 -
B. BROCHURES
Discussion: Although larger developers and those who regularly deal with the planning
process understand local procedures, ordinary citizens and professionals unfamiliar with
Chula Vista may not. Brochures should be available at development related department
counters which highlight the City's commitment to fair and courteous service and provide
concise explanations of the application process, step by step, for the various types of
permits and processes. The brochures should clarify how applicants can obtain assistance
as needed, including registering complaints.
C. COMPUTER TRACKING
Discussion: All applications would be tracked by computer, so that any planning
department employee could give an applicant a status report - and properly refer the
applicant for an in-depth update.
D. OMBUDSMAN
Discussion: The policy of this city is to encourage responsibility development, especially
commercial and light industrial development which adds to the tax base and provide jobs.
One key to attracting this type of development is fair treatment by city staff during the
planning process. There should be a staff person whose only job would be to assist
applicants as they make their ways through the planning process, an "ombudsman." This
would be especially valuable to those new to the process and to small businesses which
may be less sophisticated in their approach to the process. The availability of an
ombudsman would signal the city's commitment to economic development. It would also
provide the assistance applicants need when they feel they have been treated unfairly,
giving them an advocate.
E. PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Discussion: Planning Department personnel should approach their contacts with
applicants as sale of a service. Service must be efficient, fair, and courteous. Anything
less is unacceptable. The number of complaints about treatment by staff and the Design
Review Committee indicate the current level of service is unacceptable. The staff
position seems to be that this is due to unhappiness wIth results, that applicants always
ask for more than can be granted and so will never be satisfied. However, discussions
with past applicants indicates that their contacts with staff and the Design Review
Committee are too often adversarial.
Individual preferences should be removed from evaluation of projects, and staff and the
DRC should concentrate on bringing each project quickly and inexpensively into line with
City regulations. An acceptable project should escape modification. A project that does
- 11 -
not meet standards should not be summarily dismissed. It is possible to say no, yet be
helpful. The applicant should be informed of acceptable alternatives and given approval
conditional upon submission of conforming plans. The applicant's concerns of time,
money, pride of ownership (of design) should be given great weight.
The means to achieve the above are various. It is the responsibility of management, and
managers should be made accountable. There should be better training of those who
meet with applicants, both staff and commissioners. Senior planners should be available
to assist their juniors; there should be an open door policy, with senior planners being
available to meet with all applicants. This policy should be explained in all applications.
Senior planners should make appointments with a sampling of applicants for candid
discussions of their experiences with staff.
F_ FOLLOW-UP
Discussion: Applicants should be given "Talk Back" evaluations to give critiques of the
service provided.
An independent group, such as the Economic Development Commission or the Chamber
of Commerce should periodically contact applicants whose projects are completed to
determine if the above objectives are being attained.
