BACKGROUND:
Mr. Raúl Fontes is proposing to construct a 3,050 sq. ft. industrial building at 3855 Main Street within the
boundaries of the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area. The building will be used for the warehousing and
wholesaling of electrical equipment and supplies. The project also includes the removal of a house
foundation, the construction of a small parking lot, a trash enclosure, and landscape areas.
The proposed land use is an allowed use under the General Plan, Montgomery Specific Plan, Southwest
Redevelopment Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The City's Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the
proposed project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and determined that
it would have no significant impacts and recommended that Negative Declaration IS-91-04 and addendum
IS-98-19 be adopted by the Redevelopment Agency.
Since the proposed project is within the Southwest Redevelopment Project Area, the environmental document
and the Owner Participation Agreement (which includes the design plans and conditions) are being presented
to the Redevelopment Agency for consideration and approval.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency approve the resolution adopting
the Negative Declaration and Addendum thereto and approving the Owner Participation Agreement for the
development of an industrial building at 3855 Main Street.
BOARDSICOMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Design Review Committee reviewed the
proposed project plans on April 20, 1998 (see Minutes, Attachment A), and recommended approval of the
project as described in Exhibit A and subject to conditions listed in Exhibit B of the Owner Participation
Agreement.

DISCUSSION:
Site Characteristics
The site for the proposed industrial building is located on the south side of Main Street, east of Hilltop
Drive. The parcel is 33,360 square feet in area and is divided into two pads by a slope located in the
middle of the parcel. The pad on the north side of the parcel of approximately 14,200 square feet will
be graded in order to accommodate the proposed building footprint, parking area, trash enclosure, and
landscaping. The southern half the parcel will remain vacant and reserved for future development of another
building.
The site is surrounded by the following uses: to the north across Main Street are industrial buildings; to the
east and south is vacant land; and to the west is a parcel of about equal size and condition with an
abandoned and dilapidated single family residence. The subject site had a dilapidated single family residence
which was removed by the property owner two or three months ago.
Project Prooosal
The proposal includes the construction of a 3,050-square foot building; a parking lot with 6 parking spaces
(3 full size spaces, 2 loading spaces, and 1 handicap space); landscaped areas; and a trash enclosure to be
located approximately 46 feet south of the building. The building will be constructed of split. face and
precision grid block. The entrance to the building will be on the east side, while the elevation fronting Main
Street will have windows. loading docks and roll-up doors will be located on the east and south sides.
The west side of the building will be a blank wall due to its location right on the property line.
Mr. Fontes currently operates his business, RB&S Electrical Equipment, out of leased warehouse space in
the industrial park across the street from the proposed development site. He operates his business on Main
street in conjunction with another electrical equipment and supplies he has in the city of Tijuana, Baja
California. He had been for some time planning on having his own building in Chula Vista from which to
operate his business. When the new building is completed, he will move his business from across the street
and, at the same time, will continue to operate the Tijuana business. His Chula Vista operation will continue
at the current level. However, he expects his business to expand in the future. Currently, he has four
employees.

Land Use Comoatibilitv
As shown in the previous table, the subject property has General Plan and zoning designations for Limited
Industrial uses, which allow the construction of industrial buildings such as the one being proposed. The
proposed project is consistent with the General Plan, the Montgomery Specific Plan, the Southwest
Redevelopment Plan, and the Zoning Ordinance.
Parkina
The proposed project will provide a total of 6 parking spaces which is above the required ratio of 1 parking
space per 1,000 square feet of building area. Three parking spaces will be located on the east side of the
building and will be for automobiles; two spaces will be located in front of the loading docks on the east
and south sides of the building; the handicapped space will be on the south side of the building.
Landscaoina
The landscape plan shows a significant amount of well-balanced landscape material. The plan provides for
the planting of a variety of trees, shrubs and ground covers throughout the periphery of the graded pad
and on the east side of the building. The southern half of the property will be covered with a hydro seed
mix that includes "African Daisy," "California Poppy," "Gazania," "Sea Lavender," etc. Based on the
assessment of the City's Landscape Architect, the proposed landscape plan is in compliance with the
requirements of the City's Landscape Manual.
Deferred Improvements
As part of the future widening and improvement of Main Street, the property owner is required to dedicate
approximately 30 feet of frontage. The construction of the ultimate street improvements in front of the
property will be deferred until the time of the actual improvement of the street or until the majority of
property owners in that segment of Main Street improve their properties. The applicant has processed a
deferral agreement with the Engineering Department. As part of the construction of the proposed building,
the applicant will construct a temporary Asphalt Concrete berm along the driveway and the edge of the
street pavement. The dirt areas within the A/C Berm will also be hydro seeded in order to provide
temporary landscaping and avoid the creation of mud and dust.

Meeting Date 05-19-98
Conclusion
It is staff's opinion that the construction of the proposed building will be a positive improvement to this
segment of Main Street which includes a number of dilapidated and non.conforming buildings. The
development of the project will contribute to the elimination of blighting influences by providing a new
building and putting the vacant parcel to a higher and better use, which furthers the goals and objectives
of the Southwest Redevelopment Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed building has an estimated valuation of $100,000. This will generate an
annual tax-increment revenue of approximately $1,000, of which $600 will be allocated to the Southwest
Redevelopment Project Area fund.

R&R INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
PROJECT NAME: RB & S Industria] Building
PROJECT LOCATION: 3855 main Street, Chula Vista, CA
PROJECT APPLICA...'NT: Raul Fontes
PROJECT AGENT Alfredo Araiza, Architect
CASE NO.: IS-98-19 DATE: January 16, 1998
1. ThTRODUCTION
The enviroumental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the Environmental Review
Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) if one of the following conditions is present:
1. Tne minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion of the Final
Ern. or Negative Declaration have not created any new significant enviroumental impacts not
previously addressed in the Final EIR or Negative Declaration.
2. Additional or refined info=ation available since completion of the Final EIR or Negative
Declaration regarding the potential environmental impact of the project, or regarding the
measures or alternatives available to mitigate potential environmental effects of the project,
does not show that the project will have one or more significant impacts which were not
previously addressed in the Final Ern. or Negative Declaration.
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide additional info=ation and updated analysis
concerning potential project impacts as a result of the proposed downscaling of the land use. IS-91-4
reviewed the project as a 12,040 square foot officellight industrial building. The property is now
proposed to be developed with a 3,730 sq. ft. industrial building for a wholesale electrical supply
business. A£ a result of this analysis, the basic conclusions of the Initial Study have not changed.
Traffic and public service impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project, and
these were previously addressed in IS-91-04.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the
following addendum to IS-91-04.
ll. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project proposes to demolish an existing dilapidated structure and construct a 3,730 square foot
light industrial building. The building materials will consist of masonry/concrete block e),:terior
walls with a wood-frame roof structure. The building would have a maximum height of 20 feet and
~ -Co
-'.. ì .' - --I
the ground floor would be slightly below the street grade of Main Street. The applicant proposes
eight parking spaces with an estimated 7,500 square feet of landscaping and enhanced paving
(textured paving). The parking lot would include lighting and a trash enclosure.
ill. PROJECT SETTING
The project site is an 0.83 acre (32,760 sq.ft.) parcel located on the south side of Main Street, in the
midst of a largely urbanized area in the southermost portion of Chula Vista. The property to the
immediate north, north of Main Street, is developed with office and light industrial uses. The
property to the east is presently vacant, to the south is an existing storage facility, and to the west
is an vacant and dilapidated residential structure.
The project site contains a vacant and dilapidated fonner residential structure. The site is currently
fenced and partially screened from properties to the west by a chain link fence and full grown
vegetation. A large California pepper tree (estimated diameter 0~24 inches) is folnld on-site. There
are no sensitive plant or animal species on-site and no cultUral resources would be impacted by the
proposed project.
A Soils Investigation Report prepared by Buchanan-Rahilly, Inc. for the site indicates that the
subsoils consist offill and stream deposits, which are underlain by fonnational soils. The fill soils
are considered to have "low" expansion potential. The stream deposits consist ofloose, damp to
moist silty sand with numerous gravels and cobbles. A thin layer of clay (about 6-12 inches thick)
was found at the base of the stream deposits. The report reco=ends r=edial grading of these two
materials. Formational soils consist of dense to very dense, damp, silty to clayey sand with gravels
and cobbles deeply c=ented into the subsoils. These soils are considered suitable in their present
condition for the direct support of structures and additional fill loads.
For purposes of CEQA, the discretionary action associated with this it= is the approval of this
project by the City of Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency, since this project is located in the
Southwest Redevelopment Area.
IV. COMPATIBILITY WITH ZONING AND PLANS
The present zoning designation is ILP (Limited Industrial zone with Precise Plan submittal required)
and the General Plan designates the site for Research and Limited Manufacturing. No conflicts
with the existing zoning and General Plan designations are noted.
V- IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
1. Public Services Impacts
Fire
The nearest Fire Station is located about 1 1/2 miles from the project site. This estimated
response time to the project site is 5 minutes.
h, lhome'P lannmg~mdab"',,83 02.adm Page 2
c:J-7
-.. -
The Fire Department can adequateJy deliver service to the site without an increase in
equipment or personneL The Fire Deparnnent states that a public commercial hydrant will
be required within the street right-of-way.
The Fire Department states that additional comments will be provided when detailed
development plans become available.
Police Department
The estimated response time of 4 minutes and 28 seconds for Priority 1 calls is within the
recommended threshold. The estimated response time of 7 minutes and 25 seconds for
Priority 2 calls is slightly above the recommended threshold. Staff at the Police Department
indicate that adequate police service will be provided to the area and no mitigation is
required. Upon the availability of specific site plan development, the Police Department
recommends a security evaluation by crime prevention p¡:rsonnel.
2. UtilitY and Service Svstems
Noise
No significant noise impacts are expected to result from the proposed wholesale use of the
project site. The nearest occupied residence is located about 200 feet east of the site.
Schools
This project is located within the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater
Union High School District. State law cmrently provÏdes for a developer fee of $.30 for non-
residential area to be charged. The split is $.14/square foot for Chula Vista Elementary
School District and $. 1 6/square foot for Sweetwater Union High School District to assist in
financing facilities needed to serve growth.
Traffic/Street Dedication & Improvements
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur
during the peak two hours of the day a1 signalized intersections. No intersection may reach
an LOS "P" during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway
ramps are exempted from this policy. The proposed project would comply with this
Threshold Policy.
The City Engineering Division has revÏewed the proposed proj ect and has det=ined that
it would not adversely affect the existing level of service on roads or intersections in the area.
The project would be associated with a Level of Service "C" for Main Street and Hilltop
Drive both before and after project completion. Direct access to the project site is via Main
Street.
h, \home\pianning~ indab \ej,S302.adrn <:>2 -p Page 3
-., T ,. - --I
Th~ Engineering Division indicates that additional street dedication and improvement along
the Main Street right-of-way will be required from this project. The project applicant will
also be required to install curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements and possibJy a 250 HPSV
SITe::! light and conduits subject to review and approval by the Engineering Division.
Drainage
Surface drainage flows to a natural channel south of the property. The applicant proposes
to cons1ruct a concrete swale and catch basin to adequately convey the sheet flow. The
Engineering Department has dete=ined that the proposed project will have no significant
impacts to site drainage. A Sto=water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP) will not be
required for the project. However, the proposed project shall comply with Chapter 14.20 of
the Chula Vista Municipal Code.
Soils
The applicant shall comply with the reco=endations found in the Soils Investigation report
dated June, 1990 and prepared by Buchanan-Rahilly, Inc.
3. Open Space
No impacts to open space would result ITom impJementation of the project.
VI. CONCLUSION
Public service and traffic impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project with
confo=anc~ to all City requirements regarding fire, police and school facilities.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above discussion, I
hereby find that the project revisions to the proposed project will result in only minor technical
changes or additions which are necessary to make the Environmental Impact Report adequate under
CEQA.

Comments: The site has been fully graded. A soils investigation performed by Buchanan-
Rahilly, Inc. on June, 1990 determined that the upper zone of the existing soils are somewhat
variable in density and contain several loose zones. The surface soils consisting of stream
deposits and clayey sands, appear to be unsuitable for the proposed structural loads. The Soils
Investigation Report reco=ends the removal of soil depths in the order of two to three below
the planned bottom of footing elevations, within the proposed building area. Specific site
preparation standards shall be required to comply with the soils investigation findings and
reco=endarions in the report. Compliance with these typical standard measures will be sufficient
and no further need for mitigation will be required.
There are no known or suspected seismic hazards associated with the project site. The closest
known fault is the Rose Canyon Fault located about 1.5 mile west of the project site. The site is
not currently within a mapped Earthquake Fault Zone. Based on the anticipated earthquake effect
that could occur and the composition of the upper surface soils, a relatively minor seismically-
induced settlement is likely to occur. Potential geology/soils impacts are deemed to be less than
significant. Compliance with applicable provisions of the Uniform Building Codes will be
sufficient. No mitigation will be required.

Comments: The engineering department indicates that isolated areas within the site are subject
to ponding during sto= events but that the existing off-site drainage facilities are adequate to
serve the site. Concrete swales may be used to convey water flows directly to an existing off-site
channel to divert storm wat=. The project site is not within a flood plain. The project will not
be required to develop and implement a sto= water pollution plan (SWPP), but will be required
to comply with Chapter 14.20 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, relating to management
practices associated with construction activity. No significant impacts to water or drainage are
noted. No further mitigation will be required.

Comments: Grading and construction of the proposed industrial buildings would temporarily
create dust and emissions associated with activity from earth moving equipment and construction
vehicles. These short-term emissions are not considered significant impacts, however, standard
dust control measures would be implemented, including watering exposed soils and street
sweeping. The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) calculated to be generated by the proposed project
is estimated to be 154. Due to the low number of trips no significant air quality impacts are cited.
VI. TRA..1I¡'SPORTA TION/CIRCULA TION.
Would the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? 0 0 181 0
b) Hazards to safety from design features (e_g., 0 0 0 181
sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or
incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)?

h) A "large project" under the Congestion 0 ¡j 0 181
Management Program? (An equivalent of
2400 or more average daily vehicle trips or
200 or more peak-hour vehicle trips.)
Comments: Based on the proposed use the total ADT for the project is calculated to be 154. The
ttaffic generated would not adversely impact the sUITounding primary access roads including Main
Street which would remain with an LO.S. of 'C'. The Engineering Division is requiring as
standard conditions, right-of-way dédication along Main Street and the installation curb, gutter &
sidewalk and the constructio~,pfò!f'-cqncrete driveway. The Engineering Division may also require
the installation of one (1) ~'~"high pressure sodium vapor street light and conduits along the
property frontage. No other impacts to traffic or circulation are noted for this proposed project.
Nofurther mitigation will be required.

Comments: Project impl=entation would not pose a health hazard to humans. No hazardous
materials or substances will be stored on site. Therefore, there cannot be a risk of an explosion
or release of hazardous substances in the event of an accident or upset condition.
X. NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? 0 0 !81 0
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? 0 0 !81 0
Comments: T =porary construction noise would occur at the site, however, the short term nature
of the noise, results in less than significant impacts to the SUITOunding area. The project
operations are proposed to be carried out indoors and it is not anticipated that significant noise
impacts will be generated from project approval. The proposed operations will be required to
meet the City's Noise Ordinance Standards for Industrial land uses. The Ordinance requires that
no noise generated from operations or activities conducted in a Lim~ted Industrial (IL) zone not
exceed 70 dBA for any hour of the day or night. Compliance with 'these standards will render any
potential noise impacts to be less than significant. No further mitigation will be necessary.

PROJECT NAME: R & R Industrial Building
PROJECT LOCATION: 3855 Main Street
PROJECT APPLICANT: Raul Fontes
CASE NO: IS-91-4 DATE: August 18, 1990
A. proiect Settinq
The project site is a 0.83-acre) parcel located on the south side
of Main Street, in the midst of a largely urbanized area in the
southernmost portion of Chula Vista. The property to the immedi-
ate north, north of Main Street, is .òeveloped with office and
light inòustrial uses. The property to the immediate east is
vacant, and is partially disturbed and partially natural. It
contains a large (approximate 36-inch diameter) eucalyptus tree
and a minor unnamed drainage that flows along the southern
project boundary and beyond, eventually to the Otay River Valley.
To the south/southeast of the project site is Sentry Self and RV
Storage. The site is bounded on the west by a single-family
detached residence.
The project site contains a vacant single-family residence and is
currently being used for the storage of trucks and assorted
equipment. It is accessed via a break in the curb and an unpaved
driveway that slopes to the south, The site is currently fenced.
It is partially screened from the residence to the west by a
fence and some vegetation, and there is a large (estimated diame-
ter of 24 inches) pepper tree on-site,
B. Proiect Description
The project proposes to demolish the existing building, remove
the other on-site equipment, and construct a l2,040-square foot
office/light industrial building. The building would be a tilt-
up concrete structure with a wood-frame roof. It would have a
maximum height of 16 to 20 feet, and the ground floor would be
slightly below the street level on Main Street. The proposed
parking incluòes 23 full-size spaces, 1 handicapped space, and 10
compact spaces covering an estimated 17,560 square feet along the
eastern side of the site. An estimated 3,676 square feet of
landscaping and enhanced paving (textured concrete) wou 1 d be
incl uded on the east side of the building between the building
and the parking area, and the parking lot would include lighting.

2. Police
The Thresholds/Standards Policy requires that police
units must respond to Priority I calls within 7 minutes
or less and maintain an average response time to all
Priority 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units
must respond to Priority 2 call s within 7 minutes or
less and maintain an average response time to all
Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The Police
Department is currently maintaining an acceptable level
of service based on the threshold standard. Therefore,
the project is not anticipated to have any impacts, and
the project is considered to be in conformance with
"this policy.
3- Traffic
The Thresholds/Standards Policy.requires that all
intersections must operate at a Level of Service (LOS)
"C" or better, with the exception that LOS "D" may
occur during the peak two hours of the day at
signalized intersections. Intersections west of I-80S
are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No
in"tersection should reach LOS "F" during the average
weekday peak hour.
The City Engineering Department indicated that the
current LOS on Main Street in the project vicinity is
"A," with an average daily traffic of 18,170. It is
estimated that the project may generate an additional
16 trips per 1,000 square feet, or about 193 trips.
Even with these trips added, Main Street will continue
to function at LOS A. Therefore, the project is
compatible with this policy.
4. Park/Recreation
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires 3 acres of park
and recreation land for every 1,000 people. However,
the Policy applies only to residential projects.
5. Drainaqe
The Thresholds/Standards Policy requires that storm
water flows and volumes shall not exceed City Engineer
Standards.
.,;) -.;¿ ~
-. - ---
The site drains generally toward the south- The
project will direct drainage toward an on-site concrete
swale, where it will flow southerly to a catch basin.
From that point, it will flow off-site to the
southwest, where it will enter the 24-inch storm drain
at Mace Street. The City Engineering Department has
indicated that this facility is adequate to handle the
projected flows. Therefore, the project is considered
to be compatible with this policy.
6. Sewer
The Thresholds/Standards Policy requires that sewage
fl ows and volumes shall not exceed City Engineering
Standards. The City Engineering Department indicated
that the 10-inch sewer main in Main Street that flows
westerly will be adeq"Ua te to handle the proposed
project. Therefore, this project. is considered to be
in conformance with this policy.
7. Water
The Thresholds/Standards Policy requires that adequate
storage, treatment, and transmission facilities are
constructed concurrently with planned growth and that
water quality standards are not jeopardized during
growth and construction. Most of the state of
California is currently experiencing water shortages as
a result of a continued drought. However, the water
purveyor for the project site, has indicated that it
has adequate water available to serve the proposed
project. If the drought continues, it is possible that
district-wide water monitoring and conservation will be
required.
8. Schools
The Thresholds/Standards Policy states that the City
will annually provide the local school districts with a
12 to 15 month development forecast and that the dis-
tricts should address their abilities to absorb the
forecast growth in the affected facilities. The
project site is within the Chula Vista City School
District and the Sweetwater Union High School District.
The Chula Vista City School District, which currently
charges a development fee of $0.12 per square foot of
assessable area for commercial and industrial projects,
serves children from Kindergarten through Grade 6. The
Sweetwater Union High School District, which serves
junior and senior high school students, charges devel-
opment fees but has not yet indicated the exact fee to
be charged for the proposed project. With the payment
by the developer of the fees, it is anticipated that
potential impacts will be reduced to a level of insig-
nificance.

E. Identification of Environmental Effects
1. Fire Protection
The Chula Vista Fire Department indicated that the
required water fire flow of 3,000 gallons per minute
at 20 pounds per square inch may not be available at
the project site. However, this potential impact can
be mitigated. If the building is provided with an
automatic fire sprinkler system throughout, then the
fire flow requirement is reduced to 1,500 gallons per
minute, which would be available.
2. Geoloqy/Soils
A soils report was submitted with the application. It
indicated that some of the on-site soils consisted of
expansive soils that are not suitable for the support
of structures and made recommendations for mitigating
potential impacts. However, the soils study did not
address the underlying geology of the site or potential
geologic hazards, such as suspected faults or
landslides. These will be required in the geologic
report that must be prepared as a condition of
approval.
F. Mitiqation Necessary to Avoid Siqnificant Effects
The building will have to have automatic sprinklers throughout
for adequate fire protection. Some remedial grading will be
required to mitigate potential impacts from expansive soils, and
a geologic report will have to be submitted for review prior to
project approval. If the geologic report identifies any
potential hazards on-site, additional environmental documentation
may be required.
G. Findinqs of Insiqnificant ~
1. The project does not have the potential to
(a) substantially degrade the quality of the
environment; (b) substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species; (c) cause a fish or wildlife

D. PRESENTATION OF PROJECTS

690 Third Avenue
Relocation of Henry's Marketplace into
the old Lucky Store Building.
This will involve replacing existing entry
canopy and enhancing the exterior building
elevations.
Staff Presentation
Acting Associate Planner Jeff Steichen reviewed the proposal which includes replacing
the existing entry canopy on the north elevation, adding an A TM kiosk building in the
parking lot facing Third Avenue, enhanced landscaping, and building elevations being
enhanced to modernize the structure. Mr. Steichen stated that one of staff's main
concerns is the lack of screening of the existing loading dock area. He also indicated
that the west wall was in need of repairs, and that the applicant has agreed to repair it.
Applicant's Presentation
Mr. John Ziebarth, project Architect, briefly went over the improvements proposed for
the site which include enhancing the existing features. He pointed out that the large
pylon sign will be removed, and additional landscaping will be added to the parking lot
area. Mr. Ziebarth confinned that they will replace caps, fix any holes, and put wheel
stops in front of the west wall. He also stated that they had no concerns with adding a
trellis element along the south elevation.
Committee Discussion/Concerns
During discussions the following were noted as comments and/or concerns: the south
elevation is too plain, needs to be enhanced by an architectural solution and could also
include landscaping with a lighting solution; the entry lacked an inviting atmosphere, the
Committee felt the entry should be more customer friendly with benches added; roof top
equipment needs to be adequately screened by integrating architectural elements;
increased lighting, and enhanced landscaping should be provided. Member Araiza stated
that he did not think that the trellis element suggested for the south side of the building
was an adequate solution to break up that elevation.

total of 460 sq.ft. with 30" letters spelling the Coors Amphitheater. The other two
monuments signs are to be located at the northerly or main entrance and at the secondary

same font lettering, coloring and logo as the primary monument sign. Mr. Miller
continued reviewing the sign package explaining the proposal includes two options for
the remaining signs. He indicated that the applicant is requesting that both sign
types/styles be approved by the Committee. This will allow flexibility when the signs
are considered by the amphitheater owners.
Applicant Presentation
Krysen Hernandez, of MSI, gave a detailed presentation of all signs being proposed for
the Amphitheater, and pointed out the differences between the two options.
Committee Discussion/Concerns
During discussions concern was expressed regarding the primary monument sign.
Committee members felt that the sign would be obstructing the view of the sky plaza
wall, and questioned how the sign would be integrated into the slope and it's landscaping.
All members agreed that Option A was preferred for all remaining signs. One other
concern noted was the entrance signs at both the east and west plazas.
MSUC (Rodriguez/Spethmen) (5-0) to approve in part as follows:
Design of the three monument signs and the location of the two street -oriented monument
signs. Approval of option A of the sign package. If Option A does not work for the
owners, a new design option shall be created and brought back for review by the DRC,
as Option is not acceptable to the Committee as is. Condition 3 of the staff report, as
is. The applicant is to return with a more comprehensive overview of the location of the
primary monument sign, and how it integrates into the slope without interference of the
sky plaza. The entrance signs at both the east and west plazas shall be reconsidered as
not to detract from the architectural features, and be brought back for DRC approval.
The locations of the parking lot and ticket office signs are approved.

PROPOSAL
The property owner/applicant, Palomar Station, llC is currently processing plans for the construction of the
two-story, 74,OOO.square foot office building. This building is allowed under current zoning on the subject
site, which was designated as Commercial Office by the re.zoning approved by the City Council in April.
The intention is to co.locate several of the County agencies in the new building which are currently located
at the Jerome's Building on Third Avenue between Palomar and Quintard and the Urquhart Building on Third
Avenue north of Palomar. The location of the County Agencies at the new building classifies the use as
4-:J-
-.,. -r
Page 3. Item A..
Meeting Date 05/19/98
"Public/Quasi-Public." This use may a allowed in any zone through the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit,
or in Redevelopment Areas, a "Special Use Permit." This permit must be reviewed and recommended by the
Planning Commission and approved by the Redevelopment Agency. Prior to approval of the permit, the
Redevelopment Agency must make the following four findings which are listed in the Agency Resolution:
A. 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.
B. 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.
C. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the code for such use.
D. 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.
It should be noted that in this case the Special Use Permit is being considered solely on the basis of the
County's use of the building and does not include approval of design plans. The design plans for the
construction of the building will be presented to the Design Review Committee and Redevelopment Agency
under separate application in a few weeks.
Among the County Agencies to be located at this building will be Social Services, Health Center, GAIN
(Greater Avenues for Independence), IHSS (In-House Supportive Services), etc. Typical daily activity will
involve members of the public visiting the premises and meeting with County employees to receive a variety
of services. It is estimated that approximately 1,500 service recipients will visit the site on a daily basis.
However this number is expect to diminish over time due to changes in welfare laws. The approximate
number of employees at the site is 400.
PARKING
The proposed plan calls for the provision of approximately 536 parking spaces on the site. The Zoning
Ordinance requires one space per 300 square feet of gross building area for office uses. The proposed
74,000 square foot building would normally need a minimum of about 250 spaces. The Developer is
providing twice as much parking as is required in order to accommodate the needs of the County offices.
County staff expect that a significant number of visitors will be using public transportation to arrive at the
offices. In fact, the Oxford Street location was favored due to its proximity to the Palomar Trolley Station.
Currently, the developer and city staff are in discussions with the Metropolitan Transit Development Board
staff to make use of the MTDB property located between the project site and Palomar Street to be
4-3
-...
Page 4, Item ..!L
Meeting Date 05/19198
developed as a landscaped pedestrian walkway connecting the Palomar Trolley Station with the County
offices. This plan will be presented to the Agency in the near future.
VEHICULAR ACCESS
All vehicular access to the subject site will be from two points on Oxford Street at two points: one at the
easterly property line and the second near the cul.de-sac bulb. No access will be permitted from Naples
Street next to Harborside Elementary School.
PUBLIC FORUM
City and County staff and the Developer held a public forum on April 16, 199B at Harborside Elementary
School. The purpose of the forum was to present to the community the proposed development of the
building and the proposal to locate the County offices at the site. Notices of the forum were mailed out
to all property owners and residents located within 1.000 feet from the site. Five people from the
community attended the forum. They were very supportive of the of new the building. Two of the
attendees had questions on how the County will prevent visitors from staying around the premises and
create loitering. County staff indicated that with the changes in welfare reform, the delivery of services
will be in such a way that visitors will only need to come into conduct their business and immediately leave.
There will not be a reason for them to wait around. In addition, County staff indicated that there will be
a security guard in and around the building all the time during office hours. The developer indicated the
building will be equipped with electronic surveillance devices on a 24-hour basis.
CONCLUSION:
It is staff's opinion that the proposed location of the Family Resource Center at the Oxford site is an
appropriate location for that PublicJQuasi.Public land use. The proposal provides for the consolidation of
presently scattered County agencies under one roof which will provide greater accessibility and convenience
for users. Its proximity to the Trolley Station will make it easier for users to reach the facility via public
transportation, thus reducing personal automobile trips. The proposed public/quasi-public use is consistent
with current zoning and will contribute to advance the goals and objectives of the Southwest Redevelopment
Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the Special Use Permit, which is the subject of this report, will not cause
a Fiscal Impact. Construction of the building at this site will generate tax-increment revenues for the
Redevelopment Agency budget and will create other benefits for the area. These benefits will be fully
described when the project is presented to the Redevelopment Agency for consideration and approval in a
few weeks.
