PUBLIC HEARING:
A. BACKGROUND
Page 1
Conditional Use Permit PCC-92-04:
establish 01vmDic Trainina Center
wester1v shore of Lower Otav Lake
National SDorts Trainina Foundation
Reouest to
Boathouse on
San Di eao
The request is to establish the Olympic Training Center Boathouse
facility on 3.7 acres on the westerly shore of Lower Otay Lake, directly
east of the main ISO-acre Olympic Training Center (OTC) site. The
facility would provide year-round training of international class
American athletes in canoeing, kayaking and rowing.
The Boathouse has been an integral component of the OTC proposal from the
beginning, but the area east of Wueste Road was not originally intended
to be annexed to the City, and thus the Boathouse had not been included
in the approved OTC SPA Plan and prezoning. LAFCO subsequently required
the boundaries of the annexation to be extended to the shoreline of Lower
Otay Lake, which has necessitated that the Boathouse be considered
separately by way of this conditional use permit.
The City of San Diego owns the Lower Otay Lake Reservoir and surrounding
1akefront areas including the Boathouse site. Accordingly, the applicant
must secure approval of a lease agreement with the San Oiego City
Council. The schedule of necessary actions by the several advisory or
approval bodies is as follows:

C. DISCUSSION
Existinq site characteristics
The project site is presently vacant open space fronting on the westerly
shore1 ine of the Lower Otay Lake Reservoir, directly east of the main
Olympic Training Center site. Land uses immediately surrounding the site
include open space and Wueste Road to the west, the lake to the east, and
open space to the north and south. The City of San Diego boat launch
facility also fronts on the westerly shoreline approximately
three-quarters-of-a-mi1e south of the project site.
ProDosed use
The Boathouse facility would consist of 13,500 sq. ft. of building area,
and 18,000 sq. ft. of deck area on 3.7 acres, plus 0.07 water surface
acres to include a 3,000 sq. ft. floating dock and ramp. Access to the
site would be provided by "Boathouse Road" from Wueste Road.
Thirty-eight (38) parking spaces would be distributed along the access
road and associated driveways. The building, deck and associated land
area is under the jurisdiction of the City of Chu1a Vista. The lake and
its use for training and the boat docking facility are under the
jurisdiction of the City of San Diego.
The Boathouse facility would include boat, canoe and kayak storage,
equipment and general storage, lockers, showers and offices, and a repair
shop to be shared by both the rowing and kayaking program. The 18,000
sq. ft. deck would be used primarily for preparing and cleaning boats.
Meet i ngs and related offi ce funct ions wou1 d occur in the boathouse and
the ground 1 eve 1 deck and grass areas wou1 d provi de vi ewi ng areas and
warm-up space for coaches, athletes and visitors.

Proiect Activities Summarv
Otay Lake is recognized first as one of San Diego's water storage
facil ities. It is owned and operated by the City of San Diego Water
Utilities Department (WUD). The WUD thus has primary responsibility of
uses and activities on and around the lake. Uses of the lake (other than
water storage) generally include: fishing, hunting, recreational row
boating and other man-powered boating such as kayaking and canoeing,
sailing and navy helicopter search and rescue training.
The OTC Boathouse project would include sports training activities
associ ated with Olympi c canoei ng, kayaki ng and rowi ng. The 2,000 meter
tra i ni ng course and time tri a 1s course wi 11 be located in the western
lower leg of the reservoir. The course which begins about 600 feet north
of the inlet structure of the 1 ake and ends just west of North Poi nt
consists of a series of buoys in a double line, spaced 100 meters apart.
When not in use, the cable lines rest on or near the bottom of the lake;
when the course is in place, the 1 i nes are raised to about 6 - 10 feet
below the surface. The training course will be in place all year, being
dropped to the bottom of the Reservoi r when necessary. Tra i ni ng wou1 d
occur both within the course and in other areas of the lakes (please
refer to project exhibits).
TraininQ Schedules
It is estimated by the applicant that training will occur year round. In
addition to the training boats, between 2 and 4 launches will be utilized
daily by coaches on the water. During hunting season (mid-October
through mid-January), OTC activities will be prohibited in morning hours
on Wednesdays and Saturdays when hunting is allowed. Training time for
rowers and paddlers is primarily concentrated in a few hours in the early
morning and again in late afternoon, with additional workouts
occas i ona lly duri ng the 1 unch hour. It is expected that the boathouse
will provide team training for up to 30 rowers and 30 canoeists and/or
kayakers year round. Of these 60 athletes, about half would live at the
OTC main site facilities, and the other half would live off-site and
drive to the boathouse each day (thus the proposed 38 parking spaces).
Tra i ni ng becomes most intense duri ng spri ng and early summer months in
preparation for the Word Championships in late summer.
D. ANALYSIS
The proposed Boathouse facil ity has been an essential component of the
overall plans for the Olympic Training Center since the beginning. The
opportunity to provide training for rowers and paddlers was a primary
consideration in the decision of the United States Olympic Committee to
choose the site adjoining Lower Otay Lake.

incompatibil ity impacts of the project. These
along with potential impacts associated with the

City Planning Commission

and operation of the Boathouse facility, have been addressed and
mitigated in EIR-90-12 and the associated Mitigation Monitoring Program,
which has been incorporated into the conditions of approval. It should
be noted that the City of San Diego has jurisdiction and primary control
over use of the docking facility and operations on the lake.
The one impact found in EIR-90-12 not to be mitigab1e to below a level of
s i gnifi cance is vi sua 1 impact. The ErR found that "The aesthetic
atmosphere of the site and surroundi ng area is that of the rural Otay
Reservoir and undeveloped nearby hillsides. Given the natural aesthetics
of the lake environment, the Boathouse structure would create significant
impacts to views from a portion of Wueste Road to the site and from the
Lower Otay Reservoir. Any development in the now pristine environment
would be considered significant." As a result, the Commission will be
required to adopt CEQA findings and a Statement of Overriding
Consideration if this conditional use permit is recommended for approval.
The applicant has also submitted a parking plan which outlines the
assumptions used in providing 38 on-site parking spaces for athletes and
staff, as well as provisions for accommodating spectators for major (more
than 100 spectators) and mi nor (1 ess than 100 spectators) events. The
plan states that in the case of either major or minor events, spectators
not able to be accommodated on-site would be required to park at the main
OTC site and be shuttled to viewing areas at either the Boathouse site, a
viewing point on the main campus, or to the City of San Diego boat launch
fac il ity.
The parking plan further states that detailed parking and shuttle plans
for accommodating major events will be formalized by application for
special permits from the cities of San Diego and Chu1a Vista. The
requirement for an administrative conditional use permit from Chu1a Vista
in this regard has been included as a recommended condition of approval.
A condition has also been included which would require, in the case of
minor special events for personnel to be posted at the entrance to
Boathouse Road to provide maps and assistance in directing overflow
spectators to the main aTC campus parking/shuttle locations.
E. FINDINGS
1. That the proposed use at the location is necessary or desirable to
provide a service or facil ity which will contribute to the general
well being of the neighborhood or the community.
The OTC Boathouse is an essential component of the Olympic Training
Center, and will provide a training facility for international class
athletes in canoeing, kayaking and rowing.
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 Facilities Management Plan, Parking Plan, Mitigation Measures
outline in EIR-90-12, and conditions of approval will ensure that
the Boathouse will not have an adverse impact on persons or property
in the area.
3. That the proposed use wi 11 comply wi th the regul at ions and
conditions specified in the code for such use.
Compliance with all applicable codes, conditions and regulations
shall be required prior to the issuance of development permits and
on a continuing basis thereafter.
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 proposal is cons i stent with the General P1 an upon the approval
of this conditional use permit.

FOREWORD
The United States Olympic Training Center Boathouse on Lower Otay
Reservoir is one of several training venues associated with the
United States Olympic Training Center San Diego, located in the City
of Chula Vista in San Diego County. The central goal of the Olympic
Training Center is the training of American athletes representing the
United States in international competition. The primary purpose of
the Olympic Training Center Boathouse is to facilitate the training of
rowers, canoeists and kayakers competing on an international level.
The facilities may also be made available, when not in use by United
States Olympic Committee (USOC) training programs, to collegiate and
community programs (both youth and masters) on an organized pre-
approved basis, subject to the discretion of the City of San Diego and
the USOe.
The purpose of this Facilities Management Plan is to outline the
expectations of daily site management at the Olympic Boathouse, and
to establish a cooperative framework for operating the facility to
ensure the continued safety of the water as a public resource and to
promote co-existence with other recreational uses on the Reservoir.
Lower Otay Reservoir/Uses
The Olympic Boathouse is located on land owned by and leased from
the City of San Diego, adjacent to the Lower Otay Reservoir (Exhibits
A & B, Site Plan & Elevation). The USOC recognizes that Lower Otay
Reservoir is first and foremost a resource for potable water for the
citizens of the City of San Diego. The USOC recognizes that this
purpose supersedes any recreational or training uses at the
Reservoir, and that providing safe drinking water to the citizens of
San Diego is and must be the first priority of the San Diego City
Council and its Water Utilities Department.
The Reservoir also serves as a recreational resource for fishermen,
water fowl hunters, windsurfers, recreational rowers, paddlers and
passive Lakeside users, While recognizing the importance of the
Reservoir as "one of the finest natural warm water fisheries in the
City lakes system," thel987 City Lakes Plan for Otay Reservoir
recommended that "opportunities should be expanded through the
development of an aquatic oriented recreation center offering rental
I
3-3/
..
equipment and instruction related to sailing, rowing, canoeing,
kayaking, water safety and fishing," In addition to providing an
important training venue for United States athletes - should the
demands for recreational rowing and paddling be identified by the
City - the USOC is willing to cooperate to explore community uses at
this site which will help to meet the recommendations of the 1987
report, bringing opportunities for these quiet, "human-powered"
water sports to Lower Otay Reservoir.
The USOC recognizes existing recreational uses on Lower Otay
Reservoir and understands the need for proper management of its
facility and the need to foster a cooperative effort to maintain joint
usage among all activities, It is acknowledged that a commitment to
cooperation will be required from all of the recreational users on
Lower Otay to encourage harmonious relationships among the users
of the Reservoir waters and surroundings.

3. 3~
SECTION I. ORGANIZATION
Lower Otay Reservoir is operated by the City of San Diego Water
Utilities Department. The City has legal authority over all operations
on the Reservoir.
The Olympic Training Center will be operated by the USOC. The
primary goal of the Olympic Training Center is to train American
athletes for international competition. Subject to the approval of the
City of San Diego and the USOC, the boathouse facilities may be made
available for collegiate training and community youth and masters
programs.
It is expected that a Boathouse Coordinator will coordinate activities
at the boathouse for the USOC. It will be the Boathouse Coordinator's
responsibility to oversee operations of the boathouse, including both
maintenance and program scheduling. This specialist will coordinate
training programs and activities for rowers and paddlers at all levels
and will interface between the USOC, the rowing and paddling
associations and any community organizations which may be
involved in instruction and/or training from the site.
Lower Otay Lake User's Council
At the discretion of the City of San Diego, a Lower Otay Lake User's
Council will be established to deal with the interactions between the
various user groups on the Reservoir. This advisory committee
would include a representative from each of the recreational use
groups (hunting, fishing, windsurfing, rowing and canoe/kayaking)
and a representative of the City Water Utilities Department. The
advisory committee will review all requests for special events, make
recommendations to the City Lakes Committee and Water Utilities
Department on scheduling and special conditions, and provide a
forum for potential conflict resolution between user groups on a
regularly scheduled basis.
USOC Boathouse Programs
An Organization Chart outlining the relationships for boathouse
scheduling and operations is shown on Exhibit C. The following
summarizes the primary activities of the USOC programs.

USOC Athletes Pro~ram
The USOC athlete program will be run by the two National Governing
Bodies representing the sports of rowing and canoe/kayaking in the
United States: the United States Rowing Association (US Rowing) and
the United States Canoe/Kayak Team (USCKT). Athletes preparing for
international competition require year-round training, and are
expected to be on the Reservoir almost every day of the year.
Canoe/kayakers train in individual boats, rowers train in shells of
one, two, four or eight people (plus a coxswain in the eight and some
four shells). Primary training hours are early morning (5 - 10:30
am) and late afternoon (3-8 pm).
Community Access
The USOC has a general policy that provides for potential community
use of training facilities if and when they are not in full use by
USOC/National Governing Bodies programs. If the City of San Diego
expresses an interest, the USOC is willing to work with the City to
explore providing community use at the boathouse at the discretion
of both the City and the USOC. This may include limited collegiate
training and organized local youth and masters programs.

SECTION II. USE REGULATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Training and Rowing Competitions
The USOC will operate a trammg course to be located in the main
body of Lower Otay Reservoir (Exhibit D, Training Course).
International rowing competition requires a 2000-meter straight-
line course, and paddlers must have a minimum 1000-meter course
for training and competition.
The USOC course on Lower Otay is 20<)Q-meters in length, beginning
approximately 600 feet north of the inlet structure and ending
westerly of North Point. The course, which will be shared by rowers
and paddlers, consists of a series of buoys in a double line, spaced
approximately 100 meters apart.
Exhibit E illustrates the mechanics of the course, which consists of a
series of cable lines which, when not in use, rest on the bottom of the
Reservoir. When the course is in place, the lines are brought to
approximately 6-10 feet below the surface by hooking a series of
buoys which float to the top and serve as markers for the course.
The training course will be in place all year, being dropped to the
bottom of the Reservoir when necessary, ie: due to special events
being held by other recreational users. When rowing or canoe/kayak
competitions are held at the Reservoir, up to six additional cables will
be raised and additional buoys will be attached, spaced
approximately 12 meters apart (Exhibit F, Competition Course).
Operating Hours
The USOC Boathouse will be available for operation 364 days/year.
Exhibits G & H provide seasonal charts of projected hours of use and
anticipated boat activity (number of boats expected to be on the
water) for USOC programs. *
*Note: These numbers are estimates only and may vary depending
on types of boats being used for training (shells - singles, pairs, fours,
eights - andlor canoes/kayaks),

Water Use Restrictions
Special restrictions will limit rowing and paddling activities during
hunting and fishing seasons.
Waterfowl Hunting Season
During the months of the waterfowl hunting season (approximately
mid-October through mid-January) rowing and paddling will be
prohibited during the hunting hours of dawn to noon on the two days
per week that hunting is allowed at Lower Otay Reservoir
(Wednesday and Saturday), In addition, during this season - in
order to provide continuous resting area for waterfowl - shells,
canoes and kayaks will be restricted from activity in the Harvey Arm
of the Reservoir (Exhibit I, Prohibited Use Area/Waterfowl Hunting
Season),
Fishing Season
During the fishing season on Lower Otay Reservoir (approximately
mid-January through mid-October), shells, canoes and kayaks will be
required to restrict activities on the three days per week when
fishing is allowed (Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday) to remain a
minimum distance of at least 150 feet from the Reservoir shoreline,
except directly around the training course, as shown on Exhibit J.
Quarterly Management Reports
The USOC will be responsible for recording daily use of the boathouse
facility, including the number of boats launched from the facility,
The USOC will work with the City of San Diego Water Utilities
Department to develop the format and information to be included in
quarterly reports, which will be provided to the Department for their
use in planning and evaluation of recreational and training uses on
Lower Otay Reservoir.

Special Events
Any USOC approved competItIon to be held on Lower Otay will be
considered a "special event". Most events will involve limited
participation, such as time-trials for a regional team, and will not
draw spectators. Other, more infrequent competition (an estimated
two to six events annually), will involve visiting teams form other
regions of the United States or from other Countries. These
competitions, which could potentially draw from 50-200 spectators,
may require restrictive use of a portion of the Reservoir or, more
infrequently, exclusive use of Lower Otay. World class competitions,
which will require exclusive use of the Reservoir and may be
expected to involve more spectators (up to 2000), necessitating
special shuttlelparking arrangements, are likely to occur on Lower
Otay only once every several years.
Any special event which will require restnctIve use of all or a
portion of Lower Otay Reservoir will require approval from the City
of San Diego Water Utilities Department. Requests for special events
will be made through the Department and the Lower Otay Lake
User's Council, and will include information on the event date and
time(s), estimated number of boats to be involved in the competition
and an estimate of the number of spectators, if any, expected to
attend, The city will indicate, in approving any special event,
conditions under which the event may be held, including
requirements for event notices, course marshalls, special event
signage and potential compensation for lost revenue if applicable.

OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER
BOATHOUSE PARKING PLAN
The Olympic Training Center Boathouse will be located on the shore
of Lower Otay Reservoir, on land leased from the City of San Diego.
The boathouse site is directly across from the main Olympic
Training Center Campus, The facility will be accessed via a
decomposed-granite road, to be constructed from Wueste Road to the
boathouse, and connecting with an existing dirt road that parallels
the shoreline (see Site Plan, figure 1),
Thirty-eight spaces are provided for parking at the boathouse, This
parking requirement was determined based on assumptions related
to the anticipated training program that will be conducted from the
facility, An average of 60 athletes is expected to train on a daily
basis from the boathouse, Approximately one-half of these athletes
are expected to live and work off-site: that is, not on the OTC
campus, but in separate housing throughout San Diego County. These
30 athletes would therefore drive to the facility each day, requiring
a minimum of 30 onsite parking spaces, In addition, the coaches,
trainers and boathouse coordinator will require parking spaces: thus
an additional 8 spaces have been planned to insure sufficient parking
will be available,
On occassion, special programs may generate activity that will
require additional parking for participants. and possibly spectators.
Special events that will generate over 100 spectators will not be
allowed at the boathouse unless a special permit has been applied
for and received from the cities of San diego and Chula Vista,
Procuring a special permit for these events will require the
submittal of detailed parking and shuttle plans. It is expected that
parking for these events will occur at the Visitor Center where
fromm 200-400 spaces will be available". Participants will be
shuttled to the boathouse, and spectators will walk or be shuttled to
the viewing point adjacent to the athletic fields on the main
campus, andlor be shuttled to the City of San Diego launch facility
on Lower Otay Reservoir, located south of the boathouse.
"Total spaces in visitor lot: for phase I - 233
at buildout - 467
s~ .5 .Q
OTC Parking Plan, page 2
Minor events, such as a team time trial, will not require a special
event permit. Parking and shuttling planning for these small
occasions will be in accordance with this parking plan.
Figure 2, "Parking Plan," provides a visual exhibit of the Parking and
Shuttle plan, When parking beyond 38 spaces is required due to a
special activity at the boathouse, participants and spectators will
be required to park at the Olympic Training Center Visitor's Center
parking lot. Training Center shuttles will be available to transfer
participants and spectators to the boathouse. The boathouse deck
and grass area, which can comfortably accomodate up to 200 people,
will be used for both participants and specators for these small
events, Spectators will also be advised that they may walk or be
shuttled by van to the spectator outlook located adjacent to the
track and field facilities. This overlook, which provides a
spectacular panoramic view of the Reservoir, can accomodate an
additional 100 spectators,

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
The mitigation monitoring program is prepared for the City of Chula Vista for the Olympic
Training Center (OTC) Boathouse Facility project to comply with AB 3180, which requires
public agencies to adopt such programs to ensure effective implementation of mitigation
measures. This monitoring program is dynamic in that it will undergo changes as
additional mitigation measures are identified and additional conditions of approval are
placed on the project throughout the project approval process.
This program will serve a dual purpose of verifying completion of the mitigation measures
for the proposed project and generating infonnation on the effectiveness of the mitigation
measures to guide future decisions, The Program includes the following:
. Monitoring team qualifications
. Specific monitoring activities
. Reporting system
. Criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures
The project involves the land development of 3.1 acres for the OTC Boathouse facility and
~
0,07 water surface acre for the proposed dock and ramp, It is located in the eastern
territories area of Chula Vista, immediately west of Lower Otay Reservoir. The property
lies approximately 8 miles east of downtown Chula Vista and 8 miles north of the
US/Mexican border. The site is generally flat with elevations ranging from approximately
480 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the lake edge to about 500 feet msl at the proposed
parking lot area, The surrounding area is characterized by the rural Otay Reservoir and
undeveloped nearby hillsides, The developing communities of eastern Chula Vista (i.e"
Eastlake) are located to the west. The site is bounded by Wueste Road and the developing
OTC site to the west, the existing City of San Diego boat launching facility to the south,
and other City and County facilities toward the south end of the reservoir,
The property is within City of Chula Vista incorporated boundaries, County of San Diego
jurisdiction borders to the site's north and east; these areas include North Point, the lake
and lands to the east. The City of San Diego owns the Lower Otay Reservoir and
surrounding lake front areas which include the proposed Boathouse site,

The SEIR environmental analysis, incorporated herein as reference, focused on issues
determined to be potentially significant by the City of Chula Vista. The environmental
analysis concluded that for 6 of the 7 environmental issues discussed, some of the
significant and potentially significant impacts could be avoided or reduced through
implementation of recommended mitigation measures. The 6 issue areas are recreational
land use compatibility; aesthetics/visual resources; geology and soils; hydrology/water
quality; biological resources; and traffic/circulation. No significant adverse cultural
resource impacts were identified.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of only those impacts identified as significant or potentially
significant; the monitoring program for the OTC Boathouse therefore addresses the impacts
associated with the issue areas identified above.
Miti~ation Monitorin~ Team
A monitoring team should be identified once the mitigation measures have been adopted as
conditions of approval by the Chula Vista City Council. Managing the team would be the
responsibility of the Mitigation Compliance Coordinator (MCC). The monitoring activities
will be-<iccomplished by the Environmental Monitors (EMs), Environmental Specialists
(ESs), and the MCC. While specific qualifications should be detennined by the City of
Chula Vista, the monitoring team should possess the following capabilities:
. Interpersonal, decision-making, and management skills with demonstrated
experienc~ in working under trying field circumstances;
. Knowledge of and appreciation for the general environmental attributes and
special features found in the project area;
. Knowledge of the types of environmental impacts associated with construction
of cost-effective mitigation options; and
. Excellent communication skills.
The responsibilities of the MCC throughout the monitoring effort include the following:
. Overall implementation and management of the monitoring program
. Quality control of the site-development monitoring team
. Administration and preparation of daily logs, status reports, compliance reports
and the final construction monitoring report.

. Liaison between the City of Chula Vista. the OTC Boathouse developer, and the
applicant's contractors:
. Monitoring of onsite, day-to-day construcnon activities. including the direction
of EMs and ESs in the understanding of all pennit conditions. site-specific
project requirements. construction schedules and environmental quality control
effort.
. Ensure contractor knowledge of and compliance with all appropriate pennit
conditions,
. Review of all construction impact mitigations and, if need be, propose
additional mitigation,
. Have the authority to require correction of activities observed that violate project
environmental conditions or that represent unsafe or dangerous conditions,
. Maintain prompt and regular COlIUTIunication with the onsite EMs and ESs, and
OTC Boathouse personnel responsible for contractor perfonnance and pennit
compliance.
The primary role of the Environmental Monitors is to serve as an extension of the MCC in
performing the quality control functions at the construction sites, Their responsibilities and
functioD,5 are to: .
a) Maintain a working knowledge of the OTC Boathouse pennit conditions.
contract documents, construction schedules and progress and any special
mitigation requirements for his or her assigned construction area;
b) Assist the MCC and OTC Boathouse construction contractors in coordinating
with City of Chula Vista compliance activities;
c) Observe construction activities for compliance with the City of Chula Vista
perrrritconditions;and
d) Provide frequent verbal briefings to the MCC and construction personnel. and
assist the MCC as necessary in preparing status reports.
The primary role of the Environmental Specialists is to provide expertise when
environmentally sensitive issues occur throughout the development phases of project
implementation and to provide direction for mitigation.

Pro~ Procedural Guidelines
I
Prior to any construction activities, meetings should take place between all the parties
involved to initiate the monitoring program and establish the responsibility and authority of
the participants. Mitigation measures which need to be defmed in greater detail will be
addressed prior to any project plan approvals in follow-up meetings designed to discuss
specific monitoring effects.
I
I
An effective reporting system must be established prior to any monitoring efforts. All
parties involved must have a clear understanding of the mitigation measures as adopted and
these mitigations must be distributed to the participants of the monitoring effort. Those that
would have a complete list of all the mitigation measure adopted by the City of Chula Vista
would include the City of Chula Vista, the City of San Diego, GTC Boathouse developer,
the MCC and the construction crew supervisor. The MCC would distribute to each
Environmental Specialist and Environmental Monitor a specific list of mitigation measures
that pertain to his or her monitoring tasks and the appropriate time frame that these
mitigations are anticipated to be implemented. In addition to the list of mitigations, the
monito1"$ will have mitigation monitoring report (MMR) forms with each mitigation written
out on the top of the form. Below the stated mitigation measure, the form will have a series
of questions addressing the effectiveness of the mitigation measure. The monitors shall
complete the MMR and file it with the MCC following their monitoring activity. The MCC
will then include the conclusions of the MMR into an interim and final comprehensive
construction report to be submitted to the City of Chula Vista. This report will describe the
major accomplishments of the monitoring program, summarize problems encountered in
achieving the goals of the program, evaluate solutions developed to overcome problems
and provide a list of recommendations for future monitoring programs. In addition and if
appropriate, each EM, and/or ES will be required to fill out and submit a daily log report to
the MCC. The daily log report will be used to record and account for the monitoring
activities of the monitor. Weekly/monthly status reports, as determined appropriate, will be
generated from the daily logs and compliance reports and will include supplemental material
(Le., memoranda, telephone logs, letters). This type of feedback is essential for the City of
Chula Vista to conform the implementation and effectiveness of the mitigation measures
imposed on the project.

Actions in Case of Non-compliance
There are generally three separate categories of non-compliance associated with the adopted
conditions of approval:
. Non-compliance requiring an immediate halt to a specific task or piece of
equipment.
. Infraction that initiates an immediate corrective action. No work or task delay.
. Infraction that does not warrant immediate corrective action and results in no
work or task delay.
In all three cases, the MCC would notify the OTC contractor and the City of Chula Vista,
and an MMR would be med with the MCC on a daily basis.
I)
There are a number of options the City of Chula Vista may use to enforce this Program
should non-compliance continue. Some methods commonly used by other lead agencies
include "stop work" orders; fmes and penalties (civil); restitution; permit revocations;
citations; and injunctions. It is essential that all parties involved in the Program understand
the authprity and responsibility of the onsite monitors. Decisions regarding actions in case
of non-compliance are the responsibility of the City of Chula Vista.

Recreational Use Compatibility/Operations
Summary of Impacts
Potentially significant land use impacts involve project inconsistency with the existing Otay
Lake recreational uses. This potential operational incompatibility impact is due to the
locations of the two respective facilities, their differing activities and the nature of the
proposed OTC boat courses. The proposed OTC Boathouse would operate the OTC
canoes, kayaks and sculls in the recreational boats' commonly used paths to fishing
locations and/or recreational spots across the lake.
Mitiw-ation Measures
1. During fishing season days (Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, mid-January
through mid-October), OTC boats will not have exclusive rights to use of the OTC
.urne trials course of up to eight lanes (identified in Figure 2-7 of the SEIR). The.
OTC boats will have exclusive use of the OTC training course (three lanes) on those
days. This rule shall be included in the Facilities Management Plan (FMP).
Further, this rule shall be monitored and its effectiveness included in the Quarterly
Management Reports (QMRs) required below.
2. Boat course crossings: In the event motorized fishing boats warrant crossing the
path of a rowing scull/boat underway, the crossing shall occur either in back of
(after) the rowers, or a minimum of sed~rs in front of the rowers. Because the
rowers go "backwards" and are more difficult to turn, this should avoid crossing
conflicts. This regulation should be posted at the City boat launch facility and
communicated to the public as recommended below under "Public Education"
Measure #8.
3. Fishing tournaments: OTC training activities shall either be prohibited or restricted
on permitted fishin,g tournament days (occasional Saturdays during fishing season;
permitted through the City of San Diego WUD). This regulation shall be
specifically addressed in the Facilities Management Plan to the satisfaction of the
.
II

.
.
.
.
.
.
City WUD, and should be monitored and included in the Quarterly Management
Reports to determine if adjustments become necessary. The OTC shall be notified
of dates of permitted fishing tournaments no later than two months prior to the
tournament date.
4. During the fishing season on Lower Otay Reservoir (approximately mid-January
through mid-October), shells, canoes and kayaks will be required to restrict
activities on the three days per week when fishing is allowed (Wednesday,
Saturday, and Sunday). The OTC boats will remain 150 feet from the Reservoir
shoreline on all fishing days, except in the area delineated in Figure 3-4 of the
SEIR, in order to avoid conflict with shoreline fishing activities. The feasibility of
the l50-buffer shall be monitored in conjunction with lake-level monitoring
(Measure #9 below).
Waterfowl Huntin2. Considerations:
5. During the months of the waterfowl hunting season (approximately mid-October
throu'gh mid-January) rowing and paddling will be prohibited during the hunting
J;1ours of dawn to noon on the two days per week that hunting is allowed at Lower
Otay Reservoir (Wednesday and Saturday). In addition, at all times during this
season - in order to provide continuous resting area for waterfowl - shells, canoes,
and kayaks will be restricted from activity in the Harvey Arm of the Reservoir.
Other Measures:
.
.
.
.
.
6. Special events: No special events/competitions of over 100 people shall be allowed
at the OTC boathouse or lake under this approval. This restriction shall not include
typical training competition between OTC training athletes included in the OTC
program (provided that no more than 100 spectators attend). Said provisions shall
be included in the Facilities Management Plan. Any future requests for
competitions shall be subject to CEQA review and review by the Cities of Chula
Vista and San Diego.
.
7. Athletes and OTC employee education: During orientation of athletes and
employees to the boathouse, the lake's public uses and schedules shall be fully
described. Lake rules and regulations and public use schedules shall be posted in
010571000

written form at the boathouse, and shall be included in the overall training program
of the athletes. Said provisions shall be included in the Facilities Management Plan,
and adherence to rules should be monitored in the Quarterly Management Reports.

I
8. Public education: In order to educate the public of the OTC lake activities and thus
minimize use conflicts, the following items are recommended. These items should
be in place prior to OTC boathouse occupancy, and should be monitored in the
Quarterly Management Reports.
.
An information sign at the lake turn-off at Wueste Road/Otay Lakes Road shall
be posted, identifying the OTC facilities and a radio channel from which lake
use information can be derived.
I
I
I
I
I
.
The radio channel shall inform listeners of the OTC activities (Le., training
times, rules of the lake), public use information (Le., open days, tournaments,
lake conditions), ecological sensitivity of the area and associated protection
rules, and lake use rules which must be reviewed prior to boat launching or
ticket purchase. If this mitigation measure is pursued, funding for the radio
station. will be determined at a later date.
,
.
At the City boat launch, prior to purchase of tickets or boat launching, the lake
user should be required to read and acknowledge the rules of the lake. It is
recommended that this will be the responsibility of the City of San Diego WUD.

(derived from the City WUD), to provide for ongoing monitoring of the lake
surface area available for use. Should lake levels show signs of continued decline.
the matter should be raised with the Users' Council and OTC, to determine potential
refmements to lake use regulations. This monitoring and potential resulting actions
should guarantee equitable shared use of the lake. Lake fluctuations and potential
adjustments in OTC training areas should be identified in the Facilities Management
Plan, acknowledging that the lake is for both public and OTC uses.

included in the Quarterly Management Reports, as necessary.
11. Facility Management Plan (FMP): Prior to the issuance of building permits, the
FMP shall be revised to include the above mitigation items. In addition, the
following items are recommended to be added to the FMP:
. Dock operations and OTC boat launching operations should be described.
Provisions to minimize impacts to the surrounding ecology (especially while
launching) should be specified in the operations plan.
. OTC motor boats (coach launches) should be quantified (estimated no more
than 4 boats). Provisions for launching (at the City launch site); storage (at
OTC docks, and when to be out of the lake); fueling and repair should be
delineated in the FMP. Fueling shall be conducted using the "pop-on/off'
tanks, which would be stored at the OTC main site and brought to the
boathouse when necessary. Only minor repairs should be conducted at the
boathouse.
~
. Athletes, employees and visitors shall be educated regarding the lake rules and,
importantly, the sensitivity of the adjacent ecology of the area. Parking shall be
by permit only, and to load/off-load boats. Signs shall further be posted,
subject to the review of the City of Chula Vista, at locations along the lake (to
be determined), to provide for public education and protection of sensitive
habitat. Maps shall be posted at the OTC site which identify protected and/or
prohibited areas. Walkways and trails shall be clearly marked (refer also to
Biology mitigation, Section 3.6).

Aesthetics/Visual Resources
I
Summarv of Impact~
I
The proposed OTC Boathouse facility development would change the appearance of the
project site which is primarily characterized as recreational and natural open space adjacent
to the Lower Otay Lake. Given the natural aesthetics of the lake environment, any
development in the immediate area would constitute a potential significant impact on its
rural character and visual quality. The Boathouse structure could potentially impact public
views from Wueste Road to Lower Otay Lake. The project specific impact is partially
mitigated by project design and landscaping.

Summary of IlT1Pacts
Project development will increase runoff onto sensitive areas such as the Otay Reservoir,
resulting in a potential impact on the potable water supply of the Otay Reservoir. Grading
and utility plans for the proposed Boathouse facility include provisions for a drainage
system that will divert runoff to a "soak away basin" where storm water will beflltered to
remove particulate matter and dissolved chemicals prior to discharge into Otay Reservoir
(proposed as mitigation). Potential water quality impacts would result from ~e discharge
of urban runoff contaminants from parking lots, drives and other surfaces into the Otay
Lakes Reservoir.

19. A preliminary grading and utility plan was included as part of the Soakaway Basin
Conceptual Design Report. Final design plan submittals shall be consistent with the
conceptual plans and approved by Cities of Chula Vista and San Diego and the
County HpIth Department prior to issuance of a final grading permit.
20. Pad drainage shall be designed to collect and direct surface waters away from
proposed structures to approved drainage facilities. For lawn and parking areas, a
minimum gradient of two percent shall be maintained and drainage shall be directed
toward approved swales or drainage facilities. Drainage pattems approved at the
time of final grading should be maintained throughout the life of proposed
structures.
Runoff from roof and concrete deck surfaces shall be diverted to the soakaway
basin as described in Surface Drainage Impacts and the Soakaway Basin
Conceptual Design Report (Appendix E of the SEIR). Final improvement plans
shall be consistent with the conceptual document and approved by the Cities of
Chula Vista and San Diego and the County Health Department prior to issuance of a

establishment of a maintenance agreement between the City of San Diego and the
STFIUSOC for the soakaway (including provisions for soil and piping
replacement, etc.), or waiver of such agreement by the City.
21. Erosional Control: Slopes shall be planted with appropriate drought-resistant
vegetation as recommended by a landscape architect immediately following grading.
Slopes should not be over-irrigated as heavy groundcover combined with over-
watering is a primary source of surficial slope failures. Timer-controlled irrigation
should be altered during the rainy season.

A qualified hydrologist/environmental specialist, working with the City of Chula Vista's
EngineerlPublic Works Department, will ensure that the mitigation measures are effectively
implemented. It will be the responsibility of the City to ensure conformance with all
applicable City flood control, Otay Water District and State Regional Water Quality Control
Board regulations prior to issuance of grading permits.
Biological Resources
SummarY of Impact~
Construction of the training facilities at this site would result in impacts to Diegan coastal
sage scrub (approximately 3.0 acres) and wetland (0.1 acre) that is primarily freshwater
marsh.~
Indirect impacts as a result of the construction of the facility at this site could include
erosion and sliding of materials into wetland habitats. Any movement of material into
wetland habitats would be considered a significant adverse impact. Indirect impacts to
California gnatcatchers as a result of increased human access and activity on this site is
considered potentially significant.
Cumulative impacts include the loss of habitat and potentially occurring sensitive species
populations on a regional basis due to increased human activity on the reservoir. The
cumulative loss of Diegan coastal sage scrub and potentially occurring sensitive species is
considered a significant adverse impact.
Miti~ation Measures
28. Approximately 0.6 acre of high quality Diegan coastal sage scrub will be impacted
by grading for the road and approximately 2.4 acres of disturbed Diegan coastal
sage scrub will be impacted by construction of the boathouse. A 2: I mitigation
010571000

;3,72
ratio will be used for the high quality sage scrub (1.2 acre), and a 1:1 ratio will be
used for the disturbed sage scrub (2.4 acres). A total of 3.6 acres of Diegan
coastal sage scrub will be planted on the two southern most slopes on the west side
of the Olympic Training Center adjacent to the Salt Creek dedicated open space.
The proposed mitigation area is shown in Figure 2-3 of the SEIR. Sensitive plant
species should be used in the coastal sage scrub restoration if available. In
addition, all areas disturbed by grading around the Olympic Training Center
boathouse (including the access road) will be revegetated with coastal sage scrub.

29. Since no areas exist around the lake margin to restore freshwater marsh habitat,
impacts to freshwater marsh (0.1 acre) habitat shall be mitigated out-of-kind by
planting native riparian tree species along the lake margin, outside of the freshwater
marsh fringe. It is proposed that 20 Fremont cottonwoods (Populus fremontii) be
planted at inte{Vals around the margin of the lake.
30. Human access shall be reduced along the coastal sage scrub areas on the project site
with signs and barrier plantings; and, access to the coastal sage scrub mitigation
areas shall be restricted on the Olympic Training Center site.
~
31. The proposed mitigation areas shall be approved by City of San Diego and City of
Chula Vista staff in consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
California Department of Fish and Game.

Traffic and CiJ:culation
Summarv of Imoact~
World class competitions, occurring once every several years could draw up to 2,000
spectators. These larger events may potentially result in temporary traffic congestion.
Lack of parking spaces may also occur during small events (less than 100 spectators).
Therefore, during the small and world-class events, spectators and visitors could be
transported by shuttle buses to the Boathouse site from the Olympic Training Center and
neighboring parking centers.
The proposed Boathouse project would have a minimal contribution to long term
cumulative traffic volumes, however, measures were incorporated in the OTC project to
mitigate curnulative traffic impacts to acceptable levels.
Mitii!ation Measures
33. During small events with less than 100 spectators, shuttling of people from the
.9TC main campus area will be required once the OTC Boathouse parking lot,
which has 38 spaces, is full.
34. To mitigate potential traffic congestion impacts associated with large special events,
which requires restrictive use of all or a portion of Lower Otay Reservoir, the
USOC will be required to obtain a permit from the City of San Diego Water Utilities
Department with the City of Chula Vista being advised of the same. Requests for
special events will be made through the City of San Diego, and will include
information on the event date and time(s), estimated number of boats to be involved
in the competition and an estimate of the number of spectators, if any, expected to
attend. The City [of San Diego Water Utilities Department] will indicate, in
approving any special event, conditions under which the event may be held,
including requirements for event notices, course marshals, traffic controls, special
event signage and potential compensation for lost revenue if applicable. The City of
San Diego has jurisdictional authority over the use of Lower Otay Lake. However,
access to Lower Otay Lakes is via Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road,
future Orange Avenue, and Wueste Road, which are now within, or will be within
(after annexation), the jurisdictional authority of the City of Chula Vista.

Therefore, the City of Chula Vista may also require permits for special events and
may specify the conditions under which special events may be held.
Measures to mitigate significant cumulative related impacts from development of the eastern
territories are included in the Final EIR for the OTC Plan and the EastLake ill (GDP) Final
EIR.

The City of Chula Vista EngineerlPublic Works Department and the City of San Diego
Water Utilities Department will be responsible for ensuring that the USOC incorporates
conditions under which special events may be held and that conditions are properly
enforced during such events. The City of San Diego Water Utilities Department and the
City of Chula Vista will monitor the ftrst scheduled special event to evaluate the
effectiveness of the conditions established by the special event permit issued by each
