IT]
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Fancher Development Services, has filed a Design Review application to
perform exterior and interior tenant modifications to the existing structure located at 320
Third Avenue for the purpose of opening a fitness health club; specifically, a 24 Hour
Fitness center. The project site is located within the Towne Centre I Redevelopment Project
Area. An Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) is required from the property owner,
AVG Partners, due to construction costs in excess of $10,000.
On May 25, 2006, the Chula Vista Redevelopment Corporation (CVRC) reviewed the
Design Review application. Based on public input, the applicant was directed to consider
design input from the Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA), Town Centre Project Area
Committee and community groups. On July 13, 2006, the CVRC conducted a second
public hearing to review the revised design and associated OPA and forwarded a
recommendation to the Redevelopment Agency.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the project qualifies
for a Class 1 (existing facilities) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the
State CEQA Guidelines.

. Design Review Permit (DRC-05-50) based on findings of fact and subject to
conditions of approval; and
· Owner Participation Agreement
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On July 13, 2006, the CYRC voted 7-0 to recommend to the Agency approval of a
resolution approving Design Review Permit (DRC-05-50) and the attached Owner
Participation Agreement.
DISCUSSION
PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes the construction of exterior and interior tenant improvements of a
currently vacant structure for operation of a new 24 Hour Fitness health club. The
proposed fitness center will encompass approximately 25,742 square feet. The existing
vacant retail uses along Third Avenue are not included in the square footage of the
proposed fitness club. The proposed fitness center will consist of a main gym, free
weights area, aerobic room, kid's club and other various uses. The use will be open and
accessible to the public twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
PROJECT SETTING
The project site is located at 320 Third Avenue within the Towne Centre I Redevelopment
Project Area (see Attachment A). The proposed fitness health club is to be located in the
vacant CinemaStar theater building that was built in 1983 and has been vacant for over
five years. The property is bounded on the north by existing commercial uses; to the east
by Third Avenue with existing commercial uses across the street; to the south by
Fuddrucker's Restaurant; and to the west by a parking structure.
LAND USE
The proposed use of the site for fitness center uses is consistent with the Chula Vista
Municipal Code land use classification of the Central Business Zone and the Town Centre
I Land Use Policy, both of which allow fitness and health club uses at the proposed
project location.

PAGE 3, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/01/06
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The project, as proposed, is consistent with the development standards of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code for the Central Business Zone, the guidelines of the Town Centre Design
Manual and the Landscape Manual, and the goals and objectives for the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project Area. The project proposes to retain the building height of 28-
feet. The development standards do not regulate building height within the Central
Business Zone; however, the height and bulk of the existing structure is compatible with
the adjacent buildings in the Chula Vista Town Centre I Redevelopment Area. The
project also proposes to retain the existing front, side or rear yard building setbacks.
BUILDING
The design, which was reviewed and approved by the Third Avenue Village Association
(TAVA) Board on July 5,2006 and recommended for approval by the CVRC on July 13,
2006, incorporates input provided by the TAVA Board and Design Sub-Committee,
Crossroads II and the Northwest Civic Association (NWCA). Some of the more significant
design element changes based on that input include:
. Glass roof removed to reduce the amount of storefront glazing
. Building bulk reduced by creating individual storefronts through structured
elements, enhanced color contrasts, and various colored awnings
. Existing exposed cylindrical gray concrete columns concealed within the exterior
plaster finish walls
. Addition of canvas awnings and lighting to create a retail-oriented scale
. Main entry further enhanced through the use of textured plaster portal
. Varied roofline parapet heights incorporating Art Deco design elements and
providing each storefront with an individual identity
. Colors and material (e.g. tile accent, lighting) to better reflect surrounding
buildings
. Plaza area to include enhanced paving and retain existing trees.
The proposed facade design colors and materials, such as the exterior plaster finish
walls, will soften the front entry and streetscape and diminish the appearance of the
exposed cylindrical columns. The building bulk will be reduced by creating the
appearance of individual storefronts through structured elements, enhanced color
contrasts, and various colored awnings. The existing cylindrical gray concrete columns
will be enclosed within the exterior plaster finish walls. The entry to the building has been
redesigned with a textured plaster portal with the company's sign located above it. The
existing glass roof will be removed, which will reduce the overall amount of storefront
glazing. The addition of these architectural elements will give the building a "sense of
entry."
1-3
PAGE 4, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/01/06
The colors ond materials samples submitted for review indicate that the building facade
will consist of light beige and tan colors. The proposed colors and materials are
consistent with the contemporary architecture of the building, which in turn is compatible
with the surrounding commercial development. The most common colors along Third
Avenue commercial uses consist of light cream, dark brown, and dark tan colors, as well
as lighter warm colors such as pale and dark yellow. A varied roofline parapet with
design elements such as streamlined horizontal lines and simplification of form is
reflective of the Art Deco era and adds to the appearance of each storefront having an
individual identity.
Colored awnings will be installed above the individual storefronts. In addition to
providing a modest amount of overhead protection from the elements, the awnings will
provide decorative enhancement and further delineate the building fac;ade. These design
elements will add to the pedestrian experience. The enhanced courtyard space will
continue to provide a connection from the project site to the existing northern commercial
development, Park Plaza at the Village.
PARKING AND CIRCULATION
The proposed project is located within the Downtown Parking District of the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project Area. The district was created to increase density in the downtown
area. Uses that are allowed by right, such as the proposed athletic use, and that locate
within existing commercial buildings along Third Avenue within this district are considered to
have met the parking standard. Therefore, no additional parking spaces are required by
the proposed project.
Parking will be available in the adjacent public parking structure located to the west of
the proposed fitness center. Sidewalks from the public parking structure are located
along the northern and southern edges of the structure. Patrons can also park on the
surrounding streets. The site is accessible from the north by way of Garrett and F Streets,
from the east by Third Avenue and from the west by Center Street. The site is also easily
accessible by pedestrians.
The main entrance into the structure will be relocated to the front of the structure facing
Third Avenue. Access into the proposed fitness center will be through these relocated front
doors. This new entry location will encourage and enhance pedestrian activity along the
street.
LANDSCAPING
The plaza area in the northeastern corner of the project site will include enhanced
paving. The existing trees in the plaza will be retained and the tile planters will be
1-4
PAGE 5, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 08/01/06
repaired. Final landscape and irrigation plans will be required to be reviewed and
approved by the City Landscape Planner for compliance with the City Landscape Manual
prior to issuance of building permits. Additional plaza element details, such as
additional landscape plants and street furniture elements, will be determined pending
completion of the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan as noted in the Terms of Grant
of Permit and in the OPA.
Initially, the project incorporated a fountain element in the plaza area. However, in
response to community input, the fountain has been eliminated and the applicant is to
provide and maintain a fine art element in the plaza area. Provision of the art element is
in lieu of the contribution by the applicant to the public art fund for the procurement and
installation of works of fine art. The art element selected must have a value equivalent
1 % of the total cost of the project and must receive approval from the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation or designee such as the City's Cultural Arts Commission.
The parameters associated with the art element requirements are based on the Town
Centre Design Guidelines. Per the Terms of Grant of Permit, the art element is to be in
place prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
CONFORMANCE WITH DESIGN MANUAL
The proposed project is consistent with the Town Centre Design Manual in terms of
Compatibility, Building Fa<;ade and Roof Articulation, Overheads and Awnings, Materials
and Colors, Landscape and Screening.
OWNER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
The project also includes an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) as required for all
projects within the Town Center I Redevelopment Project Area having construction costs in
excess of $10,000 in order to ensure project compliance with the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Plan. The OPA includes a provision (Release of Easement) that, should
the City ever want to redevelop the public parking garage, the Owner agrees to release
their interest in the garage provided the Agency can provide in-kind parking as allowed
by the current agreement. In addition, the OPA requires the Developer to obtain City
approval for, and install, additional landscape plants and street furniture elements within
the plaza area consistent with the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan. Fulfillment of
this requirement is to occur subsequent to the issuance of a building permit and within six
months of the adoption of the Plan (Deferment of Plaza Area Improvement).
CONCLUSION
The proposed project is consistent with the development standards of the Municipal Code
for the Central Business Zone, the guidelines of the Town Centre Design Manual, City
1-5
PAGE 6, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE:

08/01/06
Design Manual and the Landscape Manual, and the goals and objectives for the Town
Centre I Redevelopment Plan. The proposed design review application is recommended
for approval subject to the conditions in the draft resolution. The OPA is also
recommended for approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total value of the proposed tenant improvements is estimated to be approximately
$2.5 million dollars. The total valuation of the proposed improvements is expected to
increase the total assessed valuation of the property, which will result in an increase in tax
increment to the City.

WHEREAS, the CVRC held a second duly noticed public hearing to consider said
application on July 13, 2006, and after considering all evidence and testimony presented,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Redevelopment Agency does hereby
find, determine, and resolve as follows:
B. CHULA VISTA REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence on the Project introduced before the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation at their public hearings on this Project held on May 25, 2006 and on
July 13, 2006, and the minutes resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of
this proceeding.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the project
qualifies for a Class I (existing facilities) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the
State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
D. CONFORMANCE WITH DESIGN MANUAL
The Redevelopment Agency does hereby find that the Project is in conformance with the
Town Centre Design Manual, as herein below set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the
evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made.
1. The arrangement of structures, parking and circulation areas, and open space should
recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should relate to the surrounding
built environment in pattern, jUnction, scale, character and materials. In developed
areas, new projects should meet or exceed the standards of quality, which have been set
by surrounding development.
The proposed facade design colors and materials, such as the exterior plaster finish walls
that will hide the existing exposed cylindrical columns, will help soften the front entry
and streetscape. The plaza area in the northeastern corner of the project site will include
enhanced paving. The existing trees in the plaza will be retained and the tile planters will
be repaired. Plaza elements details, such as landscape plants and street furniture elements,
will be determined pending completion of the Third Avenue Streetscape Master Plan.
The enhanced courtyard space provides a connection from the project site to the existing
northern commercial development, Park Plaza at the Village.
1-19
RA Resolution No. 2006-
Page 3
2. Building entries should be readily identifiable. Use recesses, projections, columns
and other distinctive architectural elements, as well as materials and colors, to articulate
entries.
The building bulk will be reduced by creating the appearance of individual storefronts
through structured elements, enhanced color contrasts, and various colored awnings. The
existing cylindrical gray concrete columns will be hidden within the exterior plaster
finish walls. The entry to the building has been redesigned with a textured plaster portal
with the company's sign located above it. The glass roof will be removed, which will
reduce the overall amount of storefront glazing. The addition of these architecture
elements will give the building a "sense of entry".
3. Arcades, canopies, trellises and awnings are recommended for functional as well as
aesthetic reasons.
Colored awnings will be installed above the individual storefronts. In addition to
providing a modest amount of overhead protection from the elements, these awnings
provide decorative enhancement and further delineate the building fayade. These design
elements will further enhance the pedestrian experience.
4. Colors and materials should be consistent with the chosen architectural style and
compatible with the character of surrounding development.
The colors and materials samples submitted for review indicate that the building facade
will consist of light beige and tan colors. The proposed colors and materials are
consistent with the contemporary architecture of the building, which in turn is compatible
with the surrounding commercial development. The most common colors along Third
A venue commercial uses consist of light cream, dark brown, and dark tan colors, as well
as lighter warm colors such as pale and dark yellow. A varied roofline parapet with
design elements such as streamlined horizontal lines and simplification of form is
reflective of the Art Deco era. This also gives each storefront an individual identity.
5. All mechanical equipment shall be screened from view. All screening devices should
be compatible with the architecture, material and color of the adjacent structures.
All utilities and equipment shall be architecturally screened and/or located out of public
view as required.
E. TERMS OF GRANT OF PERMIT
The Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency does hereby approve Design Review Permit
(DRC-OS-SO) subject to the following conditions:
