BACKGROUND The request is to relocate and operate a private school for a period of at least five years in an existing building within the Eastlake Business Center at 2400 Fenton Street. The school provides classes for grades K-12 and currently operates in conjunction with Bayview Orthodox Presbyterian Church at 505 E, Naples Street. The Environmental Review Coordinator has detennined that the project is exempt from environmental review as a class l(a} exemption. B, RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached Resolution approving a two-year pennit based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein, C, DISCUSSION Site Characteristics The property is zoned P-C (Planned Community) and designated for Business Center- Manufacturing Park, as are the properties to the north, south and west. The area to the east is designated for Research and Limited Manufacturing within the EastLake III Community, and is planned as an extension of the EastLake Business Center, The 1.25 acre site is occupied by a 20,400 sq, ft. two-story building, Access to the site is provided via Fenton Street. A total of 65 surface parking spaces are located along the north, east and south portions of the site, The property contains no outdoor playground or recreational facilities, The site is surrounded by undeveloped industrial parcels, Existing Use A majority of the second floor and a portion of the first floor are presently occupied by Bonita Country Day School, a private non-denominational school for grades K-12 with 70 students and 10 staff, The school was originally granted a one-year administrative conditional use pennit (pCC 91-55) which was subsequently extended by the Zoning Administrator for a two-year period to expire on July 19, 1994, Outdoor recreational and physical education activities are conducted in Scobee Park under an agreement with the EastLake Business Center Owners Association, WPC F:\HOME.'PLANNING\1343.93 City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of October 27, 1993 Page 2 Proposed Use The proposal by Covenant Christian is to occupy 9,900 sq, ft. of the fIrst floor and share the building with Bonita Country Day, The requested tenn for the conditional use permit is fIve years, The proposed lease is for a period of fIve years with an optional 5-year extension, The applicant views this site as one that could not only accommodate the school's current operation, but also as one that has future long-tenn potential, The school's current enrollment for the 1993-94 academic year is 165 students, which is expected to increase to approximately 268 students (152 elementary/116 secondary) over the next fIve years. A total of 20 administrative and faculty staff members are currently employed by Covenant Christian School. The increase in students is expected to require the addition of 5-10 faculty staff members over the next fIve years, Covenant Christian proposes to relocate only grades K-6, representing approximately 100 students, during the 1993-94 academic year, The remainder of the student body would be relocated from the Naples Street facilities to Fenton Street during the second and third year of operation, Classes are held between 8:15 a,m.-3:00 p,m, Monday-Thursday, and between 8:15 a,m,- 12:00 p,m. on Friday, A supervised child care program for children dropped off early or picked up late operates between 7:00 - 8:15 a,m, and 3:00 - 6:00 p,m, Approval has been obtained from the EastLake Business Center Owners Association to utilize Scobee Park for recreational and physical education purposes between the hours of 9:30 to 11 :30 a.m. and 1 :30 to 4:00 p,m, for a period of two years, although Covenant Christian has been unable to provide staff a specifIc sChedule of activities which confonns with the Association's approval (see attached letter from Covenant Christian dated October 12, 1993), D, ANALYSIS The proposal to establish a private school as a long tenn use within the EastLake Business Center raises issues which were considered by the Zoning Administrator with the Bonita Country Day School (BCD) application. BCD had an immediate need for facilities to accommodate a maximum of 70 students, and was granted an initial one-year approval and two-year extension with the understanding that they would be seeking pennanent facilities elsewhere, When their permit was originally granted in July, 1991, it contained the following language: "The school is an interim use, and its occupancy of the facilities at 2400 Fenton Street shall in no way restrict the use of adjacent properties from uses otherwise deemed appropriate under the EastLake Planned Community District regulations," WPC F:\HOME'-PLANNING\1343.93 City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of October 27, 1993 Page 3 When the permit was extended for two years in July, 1992, the following language was added: "The permit extension is approved for a period of two years, and will expire on July 19, 1994, Any proposed operations after that date will require submittal for a new Conditional Use Permit, and approval of such must be obtained prior to the expiration date. This school is currently approved as an interim use, and approval for the continued use of a school at this site after the two year extension is not guaranteed," The staff was and is concerned with the long tenn use of this site as a school. The potential for conflicts between the operations of industrial users and the comings and goings and activities of children seem great, particularly when there is no provision for on-site recreation, but children must be chaperoned to and from Scobee Park for their recreation and physical education needs, Although there may be little potential for conflict now since most of the immediately sUITounding area is undeveloped, this condition can change in a relatively short period of time, The City in fact is now working with EastLake to create a "BioTech" zone which would encourage and facilitate the establishment of bio-medical manufacturers in this portion of the Business Center, In a more general sense, the City Council has recently expressed concern over the availability of industrial land and its rezoning to other uses, The EastLake Business Center now represents perhaps the primary focus for high quality industrial park development east of 1-805, Although the request by Covenant Christian is not a rezoning, it would represent non-industrial use of industrial acreage and should be considered in view of Council's concern. Although we believe it is probably desirable to offer school (as well as day care) facilities in close proximity to employment centers, the relationship between the uses must be carefully preplanned in order to ensure that the operations of one do not have an adverse impact on the other, With the expansion of the Business Center anticipated with EastLake III, this parcel will be in the middle of a manufacturing district, and on a property which contains no on-site playground facilities and inadequate parking to serve both schools beyond the second year of shared use, There is a concern for the welfare of the children over the long tenn, and there is also a concern with the impact a school at this location may have on the decisions of bio tech or other prospective manufacturers to locate within this area of the Business Center, For these reasons, staff has taken the position from the outset that we could support only a temporary, short-tenn permit of two years, subject to review and possible extension based upon a reevaluation of development progress within the Business Center at the end WFC F:lHOMElPlANNlNGIl343,93 City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of October 27, 1993 Page 4 of that period, During that time, Covenant Christian could investigate the possibility of expanding or redesigning the site to include on-site recreation and other measures to perhaps support permanent school use, This issue, however, should be addressed in the broader context of a plan amendment which would consider redesignating the property to a CPF Community Purpose Facility site, rather than in the context of a conditional use pennit. Another issue with respect to this application is the fact that Bonita Country Day School has raised several concerns with regard to sharing the facility with Covenant Christian, These include traffic safety, parking, security, a relocation of their first floor classrooms to accommodate Covenant Christian, as well as a possible conflict in operations resulting from two different schools with "two different philosophies" sharing the same facilities, The most significant of these issues from a land use perspective are traffic safety and parking, Traffic safety in terms of potential conflicts with the timing and guidelines under which drop-offs and pick-ups occur, and parking in terms of its inadequacy to meet the needs of both schools beyond the second year, The property owner, Covenant Christian and Bonita Country Day have met and exchanged correspondence regarding these issues, but they have yet to be resolved, Based upon the foregoing, staff is recommending that approval be given for two-years of use subject to review and possible extension per the conditions contained in the attached Resolution, WPC F:\HO~LANNING\l343.93 RESOLUTION NO. PCC-94-09 RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH A PRIV ATE SCHOOL AT 2400 FENTON STREET IN THE EAS1LAKE BUSINESS CENTER WHEREAS, a duly verified application for a conditional use permit was filed with the City of Chula Vista Planning Department on August 18, 1993, by Covenant Christian School, and WHEREAS, said application requests approval to establish and operate a private school for a minimum five year period at 2400 Fenton Street (APN 595-232-11) in the EastLake Business Center, and WHEREAS, the Planning Director set the time and place for a hearing on said conditional use permit application and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city and its mailing to property owners within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property at least 10 days prior to the hearing, and WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely October 27, 1993 at 7;00 p,m, in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning Commission and said hearing was thereafter closed, and WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has found the project exempt from environmental review as a Class lea) exemption, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION hereby finds as follows: 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 site represents a suitable interim location for the school to continue to meet the private educational needs of the community provided the circumstances which favor approval at this time are subject to review and reconsideration in two years time to determine if the development of the surrounding area and/or any changes in the plans or regulations of the Business Cenler may result in a conflict in uses, 2, That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity, The present lack of development immediately surrounding the site should ameliorate any potential conflicts between uses. The permit, as conditioned, will further ensure compatibility with co- tenants and other properties within the Business Center, and will allow review and reconsideration of these circumstances within two years time. 3, That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the Municipal Code for such use. The approval of the pennit, as conditioned, will require the use to comply with all applicable regulations, codes and requirements, 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, With the approval of this pennit and the implement of all conditions, the use will be consistent with the General Plan and EastLake PC District regulations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION hereby approves the conditional use pennit subject to the following conditions: 1.

The pennit may be considered by the Planning Commission for renewal and extension beyond that date provided a written request therefor, along with the required fee, exhibits and infonnation, is received, deemed complete and approved at least 30 days but no more than 120 days prior to the expiration date. The primary factors to be considered in renewing and extending the pennit is the potential for conflict with surrounding development and/or any changes in the plans for the Business Center, 2, Prior to occupancy the property owner shall submit to the Director of Planning a program to avoid traffic conflicts and allocate parking between the two schools and any other potential building tenants per City standards. Said program shall be agreeable to and signed by representatives from both schools, or shall be shown to be legally enforceable by the property owner/landlord, 3, Prior to occupancy the applicant shall submit a schedule of outdoor recreational and physical education activities which confonns with the parameters of use approved by the EastLake Business Center Owners Association, 4, The occupancy of the building by Covenant Christian shall not exceed the staff/student figures provided by the applicant, Le" 24 staff and 208 total students consisting of 122 students in grades K-6, 46 students in grades 7-9, and 40 students in grades 10-12, and/or the number of staff/students indicated by the parking allocation program, whichever is less, 5, All on-site school activities, including recess and recreation, and pre-school and post-school activities, shall be limited to the inside of the building, 6, Trained, unifonned adult crossing guards shall be provided at the intersection of Fenton Street and Lane Avenue to oversee and protect the children on all trips to and from Scobee Park. 7, Prior to occupancy the school shall comply wilh all of the codes, requirements and conditions imposed by the Department of Building and Housing and the Fire Department. 8, By the acceptance of this pennit, the applicant acknowledges that the school has been approved as an interim use, and its occupancy of the facilities at 2400 Fenton Street shall in no way restrict the use of adjacent properties from uses otherwise deemed appropriate under the Business Center PC District Regulations. 9, This pennit shall be subject to any and all new, modified, or deleted conditions imposed after approval of this pennit to advance a legitimate governmental interest related to health, safety or welfare which City shall impose after advance written notice to the pennittee and after the City has given to the pennittee 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 Pennittee of a substantial revenues source which the Pennittee can not, in the normal operation of the use pennitted, be expected to economically recover, 10, This conditional use pennit 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 any condition of approval shall cause this pennit to be reviewed by the City for additional conditions or revocation, PASSED AND APPROVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF CHULA VISTA, CALIFORNIA, this day 27th day of October 1993 by the following vote, to-wit: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTENTIONS: Thomas A.

CA 91910 RE: Further requested information re: our request for a Conditional Use Permit for the use of the property at 2400 Fenton Street, Chola Vista, CA Please find attached a written addendum, dated September 23, 1993. from our headmaster, Mr, Mark Dolan. to Mr. Curt Stephenson of the Eastlake Business Center Owner's Association with further outlines the matters discussed and agreed upon re: our students' use of Scobee Park for recreational and physical education purposes. I have been able to find out the folowing infonnation about the current scheduling of recess and physical education times for our elementary school: Recess for grades K-2 (42 children) - 10:00-10: 15 a.m. (M-F) Recess for grades 3-6 (42 children) -- 10: 15-10:30 a.m. (M-F) Lunch recess for grades K-6 (99 children) -- 11:40 a.m, - 12:15 p,m. M-Th (Fri. is half-day) Physical eduction class for grades 3-4 (23 children) -- 1:45-2:15 p,m. (MfTh) Physical eduction class for grades Kil or Ki2 (29 children) -- 2:00-2:20 p,m, (alL M-Th) Physical eduction class for grades 5-6 (24 children) -- 2: 15-2:45 p,m. (M/W) As you can see from the current schedule, the classes are di vided so that only a portion of the students are at recess or P,E. at one time, The children currently all have their lunch recess togeth- er since the elemetary schedule must be made to mesh with the secondary school schedule. That will not be necessary at the new facility, and the schedule will be adjusted to meet the hours sched- uled for our use of Scobee Park. The same will be the case with the times of morning recesses, but a similar breakdown of classes will probably be followed. As I mentioned on the phone yesterday to Ms. Wolfe, it is not practicable (nor do I believe it necessary) for us to come up with a projected schedule for our classes in the new facility, There are just too many variables, and we do not want to be morally bound to keep to a schedule that is just "best-guess work" made in order to anwer one of many questions about minutae of our school's internal operation, I lrust this infonnation I've provided will indicate that we share the city's concern for the well-being of our students, and will schedule things to the maximum benefit of our students within the limitations outlined by the EBCOA for the use of the park, As to the question of our students' eating lunch in the park. Mr, Dolan tells me the matter did not come up in our discussions with the EBCOA, They did not raise it as a concern. and we did not have any particular plans on the subject one way or the other, ReSp~IIY s~~mt:ted, ,iq..:.,- "'L."1v~_ Rev.

Chula Vista. CA. The revised drawing eliminates the previously requested portion of parking lot for playground usage. and the indications of evacuation areas in case of fire or other emergency. It also indicates the exterior doorways which will be used by students to enter and leave the building and the entrys which will be available to the public. Also included is a copy of our signed agreement with the Eastlake Business Center Owner's Association for the use by our students of Scobee Park for recreational and physical education pur- poses. In view of these changes. we herewith present a revised use profile for the facility: 1. PROPOSED USE The applicant proposes to use this facility for the operation of a non-profit. religious (Christian) day school comprised of grades kindergarten through twelfth. Covenant Christian School has been offering an alternative educational opportunity in the Chula Vista community for nearly twenty years. having operated at 505 E. Naples St.. Chula Vista. CA since its founding in 1976. It has a multi-racial and multi-national constituency made up of families who reside primarily in Chula Vista and other South Bay communities. though it draws students from as far away as EI Cajon. The proposed lease of this property is for a period of five (5) years. with an optional five-year extension. The school sees this site has having both short-tenn and long-tenn potential for accommodating a thriving, growing school into the next century, 2, STUDENT POPULATION The current enrollment of the school stands at a total of 165, It is our intention to move grades K-6 to the new building for the 1993/94 academic year, This will mean a first year occupancy of approx. 100 students (perhaps adding 20 students during the course of the school year). The re- mainder of the student body (grades 7-12) will remain at our current facility at 505 E. Naples Street. Chula Vista. We continue to project an incremental growth over the next five years (see the scheduled break- down below) which could bring the size of the total student body at the Fenton Street location to -- 2 -- approximately 270, Additional space in the building will be leased as needed when it becomes available, There are presently approximately 20 members of the administration, faculty, and staff. The anticipated growth in student population might require the addition of 5-10 more faculty/staff per- sons, 3, HOURS OF OPERATION The hours during which classes are heJd are 8: 15 AM - 3:00 PM (Monday - Thursday) and 8: 15 AM _ 12:00 noon (Fridays), Staff usually begins arriving around 7:30 AM and remains until about 4:00 PM, A supervised child-care program for students who must be dropped off early or remain at school until they can be picked up by their parents is provided from7:(X)-8: 15 AM and from 3:00-6:00 PM, 4. PARKING There is a total of 65 available parking spaces on sight, of which 20 spaces are needed by the other tenant of the building, Bonita Country Day School. According to the mandated ratio of parking to pupils, we would need a total of 20 spaces for the current size of our student body, and would need a total of 59 for our projected maximum en- rollment of c. 260 students (see the scheduled breakdown below), ELEMENTARY SCIIOOL SECONOARY SCIIOOI> TOTAI.S , Students , So.1"CS , Students , Sooccs , Slmtcnls , SPc1CCS Year #l 100 20 100 20 Year #2 122 24 (86)* (21)* 122 (208)* 24 (45)* Year #3 132 26 96 24 228 50 Year #4 142 28 106 26 248 54 Year #5 152 30 116 29 268 59 * If the secondary school is moved to the Fenton Street facility for the 94/95 school year, 5. TRAFFIC FLOW ON TIlE PROPERTY Parents will use the two driveway entrances on the north end of the property to drop off and pick up students before and after school (see attached figtlre), Faculty and staff parking will !1c along the east side of the building as indicated, There will be no anticipated traffic to lhe rear (south) end of the parking area during !\Chool hours, A turn-around hammer-head area for emer- gency vehicles is provided in the rear of the building and will not be obstrtlcted hy school use, In case of an emergency, the student body would be I'v:leunted rtMI thl' bltlldln~ and M~cl11hlrd away from the flow of emergency vehicle traffic. -- 3 -- 6, OUTDOOR RECREATION SPACE The applicant has received pennission from the Eastlake Business Center Owner's Association for the use by our students of Scobee Park for recreational and physical education purposes (see at- tached agreement). The applicant is agreeable to the conditions set forth by the EBCOA. and will schedule its recreational and physical education classes 10 coincide with the times indicated by the EBCOA (i.e.. 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:30-4:00 p,m, Monday through Friday), The children's pas- sage to and from the park will be supervised by qualified staff personnel from CCS.

Based upon their responses, we can approve the use of Scobee Park under the followinq conditions and restrictions: 1, Covenant Christian School will indemnify and hold harmless, EastLake Development Company, Walters Manaqement company and the EastLake Business Center Owner's Association for any claims, injury, loss and/or damaqe that arises from any use by Covenant Christian School, its students, employees, or invitees, - ~ ~ ..... .....

[wlSn J could report ihal ihe meeting was cordial. bm unfortunately the helligerence and argumentativeness of the RCDS re)1resentml\'es was evident ;'rom ihe outset. \Ve continue to fe3r1hat the fundamental goal of BCDS is 1101 to work cooperativdy with us toward ajoint use of the building. but to prorect their own interests and (if possible) to exclude CCS from using the facility at all --'even if that proves detrimenL.1.1 to the interests of the owners. It is our hope that. once our use is approved. they will become more moderate in their attitudes and cooperative in their dealings with us. Notwithstanding the hostile tone of the meeting, we were able to discuss the eight issues item- ized by BCDS in their letter to Mr, Griffin, As the representatives of CCS. we affirmed our shared concern for matters of safety. security. containment, noise. and traffic as they would affect both schools. and our willingness to cooperate in securing beneficia] solutions to these problems. For thetr part. the owners promised to take care of those matters relative to the building itself which would impact these areas of concern, On the matter of what BCDS calls "Forced Violation" -- I,e., that without access to ground floor space for their younger students I which BCDS has not leased, but have been allowed by the owners to use on a month-to-month basis until the lower tloor was leased to other tenants) BCDS would have to either discontinue their K-2 grades or move them upstairs. which would be a viola- tion uf their C.U.P, -- CCS made the offer mentioned above to make space on the ground Iloor available to BCDS for the duration of the upcoming school year. Such an adjustment (if agreeable) wiil be retlected in the first year of the fi\'e year !ease, For the record it should be noted that the representatives of BCDS did not themselves make any ?romises to adjust their program ()r use of the facility in order to assist CCS in the conduct of our educational program, Apparently. in then view, :he matter of concession and :lccommodation is soiey the responsibility of the owners and the new tenant, rhe owners are going to ,ynthestze the sUbstance of our Jiscussion of these matters at the meeting last evening, and you will be getting a copy of their memorandum, If you have any questions about these revisions to our plans for our use of the building. please let us know, Respectfully submitted.

Mr. Steve Griffin Planning Department City of Chuld Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista. CA 91910 October 12. 1993 Re: Covenant Christian School - C.U.P. application Dear Mr. Griffin: At this time. Bonita Country Day School has no alternative location for the school classrooms. We expect to stay at 2400 Fenton Street in the Eastlalce area of Chula Vista where the school has been located under a C.U.P. since 1991. The school's sma11 enro11ment and very sma11 closs size has a110wed us to operate in this office-type building with very few problems. Since the facility has served us we11 and we hove no other option for relocation. it is our intention to apply for a two year extension of our C.U.P. which would expire in August 1993. It appears that the building under consideration. at 2400 Fenton Street. has gone into foreclosure proceedings. If the R.T.C. tokes control of the building. Bonito Country Day School would most lilcely be able to negotiate a lease which wi11 coincide with a C.U.P. extension. With regard to the possible relocation of Covenant Christian School to 2400 Fenton Street. Bonita Country Day School is very concerned over the safety of the children of both schools. Bonita Country Day School presently occupies two classrooms on Post Office Box 1226, Bonita, CA 91908 · (619) 656-0141 Bonita Country Day School Teaching students how to think, not what to think. the first f100r. (This is a direct contradiction to information provided by Covenant Christian School in their app1ication.) In a memorandum dated September t 3, t 993 one of the owners of the building, Gordon Dunfee, proposed to relocate the ground floor classroom space to be used by Bonita Country Day School. The space designated in the drawing is not satisfactory for our use for the fol1owing reasons: L Water seeps through the f100r during the rainy season which presents a health hazard to children occupying that area. This can be verHied by contacting EastLalce Communi ty Church who rented space where the seepage occurs. 2. The classroom space designated for BCD does not meet building code requirement of 20 sq. ft. per child. 3. I question whether the designated space for BCD would meet the fire department.s requirements for access to the to the outside in case of an emergency. I question the use of bathroom facilities designated in the above mentioned memorandum. The drawing is unclear as to whether the space designated for the use of BCD is actually separated from the rest of the ground f100r. If so, does that give BCD the exclusive use of the bathrooms so designated? If that is the case then 200 students plus staff of 20 would be left with insufficient bathroom faci1ities. If that is not the case, no consideration has been given to the safety of any of the children in a co-mingling situation. With the safety of the children the foremost consideration, I am still very concerned about the amount of traffic converging at Posl Office fiox 1226, !\onilB, CA 91908 . (619) 656.0141 Bonita Country Day 8chool Teaching students how to think, not what to think. an uncontrol1ed intersection during arrival and departure times, which are the same for both schools, and the haiordous traffic flow at the front door of the facility. Bonita Country Day School holds firm to the belief that two different schools with two different philosophies would find it impossible to operate at the same location because of the high potential of ongoing conflict of operations_ If you remember the statement made by Roger Wagner of Covenant Christian School at the August 25th t 993 meeting, CCS occupancy of 2400 Fenton Street would be harmful to Bonita Country Day School. It is my understanding that Covenant Christian School requires a larger facility than they currently occupy in order to increase their enrol1ment. It seems to me that the school would be seeking a more permanent location rather than a two year term at 2400 Fenton Street.

I) PARKING: We believe that the present area designated for parking lS insufficient for two schools, Because Bonita Country Day School currently rents approximately one half of the building" we would expect no less than one half of the parking spaces designated for Bonita Country Day School, We would also expect six visitor parking spaces for each school, and request that Bonita Country Day has the exclusive use of parking spaces in the front of the bU1lding (see item # III). The parking ass1gnments are important because the Eastlake Corporation CC&R's specif1cally state that there shall be NO on-street parking, Not only did CCS neglect to consider the amount of parking needed by both schools, but they propose to use a port1on of the parklng lot for playground activ1ties, Because BCDS students are in the second floor classrooms Wh1Ch overlook the park1ng lot, we see this as a distract10n to the qU1et classroom environment that is needed for learning, II) NUMBER OF STUDENTS: As per meeting on September 9, 1993 between Mr, Dunfee and AssOc1ates, CCS and Bonita Country Day School, CCS st3ted that they would have seventy or fewer students during the1r f1rst operat1ng year at the 2400 Fenton Street fac1l1ty. ThiS was an 1mportant conceSS1on that was nonexistent in the attached memorandum from Mr. Dunfee, III) SAFETY: We bel1eve that separate entr3nces for both students and parents would help ma1nta1n autonomy and securlty of both part1es, We also bel1eve that the safety 1ssue 1ncludes seriOUS questions about the density of students that is proposed by CCS now and in the future, It is our understanding that for reasons of fire safety, children 1n grades Kindergarten through second requ1re a dlrect access to the outside of the building via an outside door from the classroom, We, therefore have three problems with the proposed relocation of our Kindergarten through second grade classrooms, First, the area proposed has no d1rect outside access, Second, there 1S too llttle square footage for the two classes presently requ1r1ng space on the first floor. Thlrd, there 1S a problem w1th water r1s1ng up through the flooring ln the section of the building that is proposed for use of our young students, This is a health hazard, and is hardly suitable for classroom space. IV) TRAFFIC: Bonita Country Day School has observed the dropping off and picking up of students at this facility for two full years, and with fewer than fifty students, we have found it important to constantly monItor the movement of vehIcles on and off the property, Our experience suggests that, with the significantly hIgher number of students from CCS (over 200 with the additional students from CCS), there would be congestion in the parking lot that would present a very serious threat to the safety of all students, V) SECURITY: Further consideration must be made to address potentIal security problems that may arIse from students arrIvIng to and leavIng from the grounds before operatIng hours, These are the tImes that are most likely to offer a threat to the safety and securIty of all the children, The number of students proposed by CCS guarantee that there will be large numbers of parents on the grounds both In the morning 3nd ~fternoc,:' ~r.d WIll r dIfficult to separate, or IdentIfy Whl~h school they are representIng, There IS also a questIon of security Inside the building, The only means of offering both BCDS and CCS any measur~ of security would be to build physical barrIers tha' completely separate the two schools, September 16, 1993 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO: CALIFORNIA LAND ASSOCIATES, NO. 1 (OWNER), COVENANT CHRISTIAN SCHOOL ("CCS"), BONITA COUNTRY DAY. SCHOOL ("BCDS"), DUNCAN DODD, and DAN MALCOLM FROM: GORDON E, DUNFEE RE: JOINT USE OF 2400 FENTON STREET, CHULA VISTA In response to the objections submitted by BCDS in a August 24, 1993 letter to the City of Chula vista Planning Department, the parties assembled with the intent to discuss and resolve as many BCDS objections as possible. As a res~lt of the meeting that took place August 9, 1993, 6:30 p.m. at Jake's, Chula Vista, the following solutions were proposed: 1, safety: There will be separate identified entrances for the schools so that the students can enter and exit through their respective doors. Only faculty, ~taff, and the public would be permitted to enter through the front, two-story entry. 2. Containment: Both schools made statements that their student popula~~ons are tightly controlled through teacher/staff superv1s10n. Further, it was agreed that the BCDS will not be permitted access to the ground floor, except as to designated areas ,reserved for the K-2 first floor programs, and that CCS shall not have access to BCDS's second floor leased areas. 3, Schedule.: Both schools operate on the typical school day schedule, 4, Noi.e: By restricting use of the front two-story lobby to adults only, this problem will be addressed. As to hallway noise, the closed doors between floors will prevent excessive noise from both users. 5, Security: Without students from CCS having access to the front entry, this should not be a problem. If necessary, the owners will install additional doors, per code, to provide additional security for the second floor. CCS/BCDS MEMO September 16, 1993 Page Two 6, Traffio! BCDS has stated that Ms, Catanzaro is present daily to monitor traffic of parents and students, CCS is willing to provide a staff member to monito~ their traffic and parking. Owner has offered to mark parking stalls, and provide signs for traffic direction and student movement. 7, Business! BCDS and CCS will address their own business plans. S, Violation! See the attached floor plan, as proposed by CCS. with these issues addressed, it is anticipated that BCDS will withdraw it's letter of objection. If ~here is no withdrawal, the understandings and agreements cOI1':ained in this memo are rescinded, If any party has any comments, please call me and I will modify this memo, if everyone agrees, and we will then submit to the City Planning Departments. September 16, 1993: This memorandum has been reviewed and approved by CCS. This was faxed to BCDS on Monday, September 13, 1993 with the notation that we wanted to file it with the City the next day. I followed it up with a telephone call to BCDS on September 14, 1993. I spoke with Paul Catanzaro and told him I wanted to submit this to the City of Chula vista that afternoon, He stated he was too busy to respond then, but would do so later that day. I still have not rec~ived a call, fax, or letter in response, ~ Bonita Country Day 0chool Teaching students how to thInk, not whut tu lhlnk August 24, 1993 Mr, Steve Griffin, Sen10r Planner Planning Department City of Chula Vista 276 Fourth Avenue Chula Vista, CA9191 0 Dear Mr, Griffin: It has come to mv attention that Covenant Crwlstlan School has submitted an application for a conditional use permit for the use of the first floor of the facility at 2400 Fenton Street Chula V1sta. Bonita Country Day School currently operates a school on a conditional use permit at the same address, I have a number of objections to the form of thiS application submitted by Covenant Christian School. There are many dIfficult and delicate Issues which could have a tremendous effect on either or both of the schools Involved, These 1ssued should be addressed by the parties concerned before the Issuance of a permit Is entertained. Some of our concerns are as follows: SAFETY , 70 students upstaIrs plus another 165 - 266 students proposed for downstalrs:arriving and leaving about the same time wi 11 create a congested situation which could endanger ,,]1 of the students, CONT AII'NENT No proposal has been addressed regarding how to conta1n and control the large student body throughout the day and especially for use of restrooms and the surrounding grounds during lunchtime. DIFFERENT SCHEDULES No conversation on how the other school's schedule will disrupt the existing operatIOns of Bonita Country Day School. 1'0"1 UJlke 1\,,, 1226, 1\,""1 i! , CA 'ii" " . I(19) b'>b ,)141 .....p.. . NOISE No walls or doors separate the main entries to the main bUl1ding, The noise from the front entry and the downstaJrs hallways echos throughout the bul1djng. SECURITY Bonita Country Day School has no present means of securing It's space from a large student population downstairs, TRAFFIC The applicant school proposes a population of 270 which Is comprised of students, staff and administration, They ar~ proposing daily trips out of east lake area for physical education which we have calculated to be 1860 trips to be made each dav. This 1s in addition to the traffic from Bonita Country Day School. DISRUPTION OF BUSINESS A great disruption of the way Bonita CountfY Day School has conducted business under the present school permit will occur, There has been no effort from Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Dodd or Mr, Dunfee to seek our input. In fact the contrary exists as there is every indication that we were purposly made unaware of the facts, without regard to our students or the school's ab111ty to function, FORCED VIOLATION This proposal to add a new school in the existing facility at 2400 Fenton 'Street puts Bonita Country Day School in violation of our existing use permit by not having first floor space for grades K-2nd as well as handicapped students, In lIght of the concerns that have been addressed above, we ask that careful consideration be placed on the decision to grant the conditional use permit to the applicant school. -- THE C..
