RDA Resolution No. 2000-1679 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION WHEREAS, the Planning and Environmental Manager prepared an Initial Study, and determined that the proposed amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment. A Negative Declaration was prepared; and, CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency finds that the Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista. I. A concrete batch plant would be a continuation of the underdevelopment of this property when viewed in the larger framework of the goals and objectives of the Redevelopment and Implementation Plans, which envision an industrial park development. 2. A concrete batch plant may have a negative economic effect on the surrounding properties by sending the message that the comprehensive vision of the Redevelopment Plan is still premature. 3. The concrete batch plant is a prohibited use per the Zoning Ordinance. 4. A concrete batch plant generally exhibits a simple utilitarian design that does not concern itself with architecture or urban design. 5. It is the intent of the Otay Valley Road Redevelopment plan, and its Implementation Plan and Design Manual Addendum to guide and promote the development of well designed, well ordered, and economically sound industrial parks and land uses. The land uses envisioned by the plan include light manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, research institutions, and product-development plants. As a general rule, the said plans and addendum contemplate and encourage the establishment of indoor or enclosed operations. A concrete batch plant would not meet this criteria.
