PUBLIC HEARINGS
4. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT AND
SPECIFIC PLAN FOR A PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AT THE
NORTHWEST CORNER OF H STREET AND THIRD AVENUE TO BE KNOWN AS
GATEWAY CHULA VISTA, LLC
The Gateway Chula Vista project is located approximately halfway between Interstate 5
and Interstate 805, along H Street. The project is intended to infuse the area with a high
intensity mid-rise, urban level of activity by providing space for a variety of commercial
uses such as restaurants, professional offices, retail shops, and services. [Community
Development Director]
Notice of the hearing was given in accordance with legal requirements, and the hearing was held
on the date and at the time specified in the notice.
Redevelopment Manager Estes explained the items before Council for consideration, including
the General Plan Amendment, the Negative Declaration and the mitigation measures to be taken.
Tom McCabe, project architect, presented the site plan, architecture and landscaping proposed
for the project, as well as its potential benefits to the City.
Chair/Mayor Horton expressed concern about the heavy traffic along the H Street corridor. City
Engineer Swanson responded that the traffic studies indicate that the traffic generated by the
project will not exceed the growth management ordinance allowable levels of service; however,
once all the other projects being planned for the area are built, the City may wish to define a new
urban level of service standard for the downtown area. There will also be the opportunity to
expand H Street to six lanes from Fourth Avenue to 805 in the future. Redevelopment Manager
Estes stated that the developer is being required to provide a comprehensive transportation
demand management plan to help mitigate some of the traffic issues. The developer is
dedicating right-of-way along Third Avenue and H Street, providing for limited widening, and a
new street improvement plan, including curbs, sidewalks, and lane striping, will also be
provided. The City will retain the right to modify circulation patterns in and out of the site as
necessary. Community Development Director Salomone commented that the traffic circulation
and traffic standards of the City's urban core would be reviewed as part of the General Plan
update.
Councilmember Padilla expressed concern about potential traffic congestion and asked if H
Street was exempted as a Class III arterial because of its freeway on-ramps. He also asked if
traffic would exceed acceptable threshold standards for levels of service after build-out of this
project. City Engineer Swanson responded that the City has no control over traffic on streets in
the vicinity of freeways, especially when ramp metering is installed, and those areas are exempt
from the threshold standards. He also stated that traffic would not exceed acceptable standards
as a result of this project, but it could when a project other than those now planned in the area is
built.
Page 2 - Council/RDA Minutes 1-"-. 12/12/00
PUBLIC HEARINGS (Continued)
Councilmember Rindone asked if it would be possible to acquire additional right-of-way or re-
stripe H Street to provide an additional westbound traffic lane. City Engineer Swanson
responded that while there is a wider area in front of the courthouse, re-striping is not possible
because of the alignment ofH Street east of Third Avenue; a new lane configuration would not
be safe because the eastbound and westbound lanes must line up on both sides of the
intersection. Councilmember Rindone commented that the City needs to plan for the longer
term, as well, and to take advantage of opportunities to acquire additional parcels as they become
available for the future widening ofH Street.
Councilmember Salas stated that with the development of projects such as Gateway, the City
will experience the transformation from a small downtown environment into a more dense, urban
environment that will be more inconvenient for vehicular traffic but more conducive to
pedestrian traffic.
Chair/Mayor Horton opened the public hearing and asked if anyone from the audience wished to
speak.
Gloria Harpenau, 355 H Street, stated that her property abuts the proposed project, and she was
concerned about water drainage, noise and air pollution impacts. She asked that the City ensure
that the drainage would be adequate so as not to flood her property and that a retaining wall of
sufficient height be built to help reduce noise impacts from cars and delivery trucks. Mayor
Horton indicated that Ms. Harpenau's drainage problems would not be intensified as a result of
the project and that the retaining wall would be at least 6' in height. She also asked staff to
include an additional condition regarding the size of trees to be planted along the common
property line.
There being no one else from the audience wishing to speak, Mayor Horton closed the hearing.
Deputy Mayor Davis suggested that staff explore the possibility of allowing traffic in all three
eastbound lanes on H at 805 to travel straight through, rather than the current configuration in
which the third lane is only for traffic turning north or south onto 805. She felt that such a
change would ease the traffic congestion. City Engineer Swanson stated that the concept would
be explored in future projects with Caltrans and also mentioned that the area from Third to
Hilltop would be studied in the General Plan update.
Mayor Horton stated that improvements to be made along the access route to Interstate 5 should
be comprehensively reviewed and coordinated with the extension of H Street and the
development that will occur on the other side of the freeway.
Councilmember Rindone asked the timeline for completion of the first two phases of the project.
Chris Lewis, a representative of the developer, responded that both phases should be completed
by the middle of2002.
Jim Pieri, project developer, commented on the vision for the area created three years ago of
developing a city, which will create permanent changes to Chula Vista by changing traffic
designations in the urban core, creating vertical development, and providing residential units in
the core that will cause people to walk rather than drive. He complemented everyone involved
on the development team and stated that construction should begin in late January or early
February.

2000, the Agency directed staff to work with the applicant to improve the landscaping
and signage for the project before returning for final consideration. The proposed land
use is allowed under the General Plan and Bayfront Specific Plan. Staff has reviewed the
proposed project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
and has determined that there are no significant impacts. [Community Development
Director]
Agency/Councilmember Padilla expressed concern with the proposed sign at the entrance to the
bayfront area and moved to amend the Owner Participation Agreement to reflect that the sign
would be reviewed and potentially retired after three years, rather than five years. ChairIMayor

DISCUSSION
ABF Trucking Company, founded in 1923, has increased its market share recently by capitalizing on
the current e-commerce trend. By maintaining a large number of locally based distribution points,
including Chura Vista, it is able to meet customer demands for immediate re-routing of goods in
transit. The company prides itself as the foundation shipping method for the delivery of on-line
purchases in the country. [t also has long term and well-known expertise in the traditional bricks and
mortar business-to-business shipping environment.
Through management changes, a one-third reduction in its cycle time of shipments during its 1999
fiscal year was successfully implemented and the company reached it highest revenues in history -
$1. 72 billion. Its stock rose during 1999 from $5.25 per share to $12.00 per share.
Additional capital expenditures are being made at ABF facilities throughout the country to address
freight capacity and efficiency issues at its terminals. The Chula Vista expansion is one such capital
investment by the company. This expansion includes the constructÎon of a 2,304 square foot
addition at the north end of the existing facility, to be used as additional distribution space.
The Environmenta[ Review Coordinator has determined that this project is categorically exempt
pursuant to CEQA, Section 15301, Class 1 (e), therefore no further environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
The net value of the new improvements includes an estimated $160,000 in construction. Annua[
net tax increment is estimated to be $1,280 and annual [ow/moderate housing set oside is $320.

promulgated by federal, state, county, municipal, and other governmental agencies,
bodies and courts having or claiming jurisdiction and all their respective departments,
bureaus, and officials.
Subject to the provisions of subparagraph 6.D. below, if the owner fails to maintain the
Property in a "first class condition", the AGENCY or its agents shall have the right to
go on the Property and perform the necessary maintenance and the cost of said
maintenance shall become a lien against the Property. The AGENCY shall have the
right to enforce this lien either by foreclosing on the Property or by forwarding the
amount to be collected to the Tax Assessor who shall make it part of the tax bill.
B. DEVELOPER shall promptly and diligently repair, restore, alter, add to, remove, and
replace, as required, the Property and all improvements to maintain or comply as above,
or to remedy all damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Improvements. Any
repair, restoration, alteration, addition, removal, maintenance, replacement and other
act of compliance under this Section (hereafter collectively referred to as "Restoration")
shall be completed by DEVELOPER whether or not funds are available from insurance
proceeds or subtenant contributions. The Restoration shall satisfy the requirements of
any [ease then in effect for the Property or improvements with respect thereto or, if no
sub-sublease is then in effect, shall be repaired or restored in the building standard shell
condition existing immediately prior to the date of such damage or destruction.
C. FIRST CLASS COND/TION DEFINED. 'First class condition and repair,' means
Restoration which is necessary to keep the Property and improvements in efficient and
attractive condition, at least substantially equal in quality to the condition which exists
when the condition(s) in attached Exhibit B are completed."
D. In order to enforce all above maintenance provisions, the parties agree that the
Community Development Director is empowered to make reasonable determinations as
to whether the Property is in a first class condition. If he determines they are not, he
(1) will notify the owners in writing and (2) extend a reasonable time to cure. If a cure
or substantial progress to cure has not been made within that time, the Director is
authorized to effectuate the cure by City forces or otherwise, the cost of which will be
promptly reimbursed by the owners.
In the event that there is a dispute over whether the leased Property is in a first class
condition or over the amount of work and expense authorized by the Director to cure,
the parties agree that the City Manager shall resolve that dispute and both parties shall
be bound by his decision. In the event that the Director decides without dispute, or the
City Manager decides in dispute, that the City has to cure and the amount of cure, then
owners have to reimburse the City within thirty (30) days of demand. If not
reimbursed, it constitutes a lien and City is authorized to record said lien with the

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM NO.: -3
MEETING DATE: 01/16/00
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION APPROVING A REVISED OWNER PARTICIPATION
AGREEMENT WITH GCE INDUSTRIES, INC., IN THE OTAY VALLEY
ROAD REDEVELOPMENT AREA.
SUBMITTED BY: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR C 7 .
/ '/
REVIEWED BY: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (Oí-~ \')~
4/STHS VOTE: YESDNO0
BACKGROUND
GCE Industries, Inc. has been in business in the City of Chula Vista since 1980. With assistance
from the City and a $3.85 million Industrial Deve[opment Bond (IDB) issuance, they were able to
expand their facility from 23,000 to 100,000 sq. ft. in 1991 while adding 80 new jobs. Currently,
the company occupies five (5) buildings and leases another on six parcels in the Otay Valley Road
Redeve[opment Area. The company manufactures exotic metal products, electronic, pneumatic and
hydraulic equipment and provides manufacturing support services. It currently employs 218 people.
[n order to increase the cost efficiency of its operations and increase production, GCE Industries, Inc.
has a need to expand to provide space for additional equipment. This resolution approves the
requested expansion on conditions agreed to by the company.
RECOMMENDATION
[t is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Design review approval of the project was granted by the Zoning Administrator on December 12,
2000.
DISCUSSION
GCE Industries, Inc. is expanding its current manufacturing capabilities of machining and welding by
adding metal forming. The equipment to be added will include a drop hammer and hydroulic
press, 0 processing line, heat treat furnace and a small foundry. The metal forming operotion is
consistent with the General Industrial zoning and the General Plan designation of Research and
limited Manufacturing. The equipment will be purchased new and meet all opplicable sofety and

environmental requirements. The expansion was ruled by the Environmental Review Coordinator to
be categorically exempt from environmental review as required by the Californio Environmental
Qua[ity Act as a minor change in land use [CEQA 15303(b)].
To make room for the expansion, GCE Industries, Inc. is required to relocate its machining and
tooling centers, currently housed in one building into two other existing buildings. The resulting
vacant building - 13,000 square feet - will be expanded by 1,003 square feet and the roofline on
the expansion will be raised 10 feet to accommodate the hydraulic press. The total project includes
the 1,003 square foot addition and a 2,380 square foot cavered transition area.
The company's goal in adding this new capability is to improve its position in the global market
place and to become more competitive. GCE Industries, Inc. faces increasing competition from
countries including China, Romania and Mexico. It intends to continue as a leading supplier to its
commercial and governmental customers and to increase its share of the global market. The
company plans to add 40 employees by the end of 2001.
FISCAL IMPACT
The net value of the new improvements includes an estimated $300,000 in construction and $1
million in equipment. Annual net tax increment is estimated to be $10,400 and annual
low/moderate housing set aside is $2,600.

REVIEWED BY: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR C9l'7 QfY
4/5THS VOTE: YESD NO0
BACKGROUND
The applicant has requested a Special land Use Permit to allow the establishment of a mixed use
(medical office/single-family residence) at 257 Garrett Avenue located within the Town Centre I
Redevelopment Project Area. The proposed [and use is a use permitted subject to the issuance of a
Special Land Use Permit within the Central Commercial area of the Town Centre Redevelopment
Plan; therefore, the proposal requires consideration by the Redeve[opment Agency. The proposal is
exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Section
15303 of the California Code of Regu[ations (conversion of small structures).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency hold a public hearing and take public
testimony and adopt the resolution based on findings and subject to conditions of approval.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
On January 10,2001, the Town Centre I Project Area Committee voted (4-0-0-3) to recommend
approval of Special land Use Permit (lUP#TCI-00-001) based on findings and subject to
conditions.

DISCUSSION
Redevelopment Plan
The Town Centre Redevelopment Plan land use designation for the subject property is Central
Commercial. This [and use designation allows a mixture of commercial uses, including but not
limited to retail, office, hotel, service, entertainment, educational, and auxiliary uses (Article VI,
Section 600.2). The establishment of mixed uses in the Central Commercial [and use designation
is contingent on the approval of a Special land Use Permit from the Redeve[opment Agency. The
applicant is requesting approval of a Special land Use Permit to allow the establishment of a
medical office and a single-family residence in an existing single-family residence located at 257
Garrett Avenue.
Property Description
The subject property is located on the east side of Garrett Avenue and is the second parcel south
of Davidson Street. The parcel is rectangular in shape with a 50-foot width and 125-foot depth
for a total area of 6,250 square feet. The parcel has 50 feet of frontage on Garrett Avenue and
50 feet of frontage on a 15-foot wide alley to the reor of the property. Surrounding land uses
include Friendship Park to the west and sing[e-fomi[y residences to the north, east, and south.
The property is developed with a 1,009 square foot, sing[e-fomi[y residence and a 216 square
foot detached garage. A bedroom and bathroom addition currently under construction will
increase the floor area to 1,273 square feet.
Proposed Improvements
The applicant proposes to convert 495 square feet or approximately 39 percent of the 1,273
square foot residence into medical office space-no additional square footage would be added
to the floor area of the building. The floor area devoted to medical use would include two rooms
for therapy, a reception/office, and a restroom. The residential use would include a bedroom, a
family room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The detached single-car garage is located on the south
side of the residence and is accessed vio a driveway from Garrett Avenue. Exterior improvements
would include a handicap ramp and five additional parking stalls along the alley.
Proposed Medica[ Office Use
The applicants propose to operate an acupuncture clinic in the converted office space of the
residence. The property owners are the current residents, and the co-applicant, Dr. Hung, would
be the only regular employee of the business on the premises at anyone time. The applicants do
not propose to operate the business beyond the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. The applicants have indicated that typically no more than two patients would be
on the premises at any time. The approval of this Special land Use Permit would allow the
medical office and single-family residence uses to run with the land (subject property). subject to
compliance with the listed conditions.

ANALYSIS
General Plan Consistency
The project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The project is located within the
boundaries of the Central Chura Vista Area Plan (Chapter 1O of the General Plan). Section 2.1,
Land Use, identifies mixed uses as a primary element of Town Centre I and identifies
approximately 28 acres for the mixed use category of [and uses. Goa[ 3, Objective 10 of the
Area Plan specifically calls for "mixed commercial office/residential uses" within the vicinity of
Third Avenue. The Land Use Diagram delineates mixed use areas near Third Avenue. Section
5.1, Urban Core, identifies residential/office mixed use for the area south of E Street, west of
Third Avenue, and east of Friendship Park. Section 5.3, Third Avenue Shops ond Mixed Use,
identifies mixed use for the area north and east of Friendship Park, along G[over, Garrett, and
Landis Avenues.
Redeve[opment Plan Consistencv
The project is consistent with the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan. Article [, Section 120, sets
forth the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. The proposed mixed use project would further
these objectives, including: "c. The strengthening of the mercantile posture of Town Centre and
the improvement of retail trade therein; E. The retention and expansion of viable land uses,
commercial enterprises, and public facilities within the area; F. The attraction of capital and new
business enterprises to the core; 1. The establishment of Town Centre as the South Bay's principal
center for specialty goods and services; and L. The reorientation of the people of Chura Vista to
their core area, and the resultant promotion of a sense of 'towness'."
Article VI, Section 600.2, of the Plan states that areas designated "Central Commercial" on the
Town Centre Redeve[opment Land Use Plan may be used as a mixture of commercial uses,
including office. Furthermore, the Plan allows the Agency to approve residential uses that are
compatible with surrounding areas. The proposed project would essentiolly maintain the existing
single-family residential character of the property, which would be consistent with existing
residences along this portion of Garrett Avenue. Existing or remodeled buildings are not subject
to the building coverage, setbacks, height, intensity, or siting standards of the Town Centre
Design Manua[, Section VIII(A-E). Moreover, the adaptive reuse of the residence would not result
in any major exterior improvements to the existing building or the property.
Neiahborhood Compatibility
The low-intensity nature of the proposed medical office/residence would be compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood and area. The project maintains the existing scale along Garrett
Avenue and is of appropriate intensity for the adjacent residential street and alley. The residential
character and scale along Garrett Avenue is compatible with Friendship Park to the west. The
proposed medical office and residential use would compliment the uses found in the Town
Centre.
4-3
PAGE 4, ITEM NO.:
MEETING DATE: 01/16/01
The proposed 495 square foot office would not substantially increase the intensity of the use for
the neighborhood. The recommended conditions of approval would insure that the proposed use
of the converted structure would not be increased in intensity over time to the detriment of the
neighborhood. The proposed adaptive reuse of the residence is minor in nature and would not
significantly change the character of the area.
Parkinq Requirement
Becouse of the limited on-site parking that would be provided, the conditions of approval would
prohibit the expansion of the proposed area for medical office use. The required parking for the
mixed use is based on the combined residential use (2 stalls) and the medical office use (5 stalls,
minimum). On January 10, 2001, the Town Centre I Project Area Committee approved the
applicant's request to allow the existing tandem parking stall (in the driveway of the existing one-
car garage) to meet the required residential parking requirement. The alley to the rear (east) of
the property would provide adequate access to the proposed parking for the medical office use.
On-street parking is also allowed along both sides of Garrett Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total valuation of the proposed tenant improvements for the office use is estimated to be
$3,208.00; therefore, an insignificant amount of tax increment revenue will result from this
project.

D. SPECIAL LAND USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by
the Agency's rules and regulations for the issuance of Special Land Use Permits, as herein below set
forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made.
1. That the proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to provide a
service Dr facility, which contributes to the general well being Df the neighborhood or the
community.
The proposed medical office would provide desirable health services to the general community
and would be especially accessible to residents and workers in the Town Centre and surrounding
area. The proposed use would be consistent with adopted policies in the General Plan and the
Redevelopment Plan for the area.
2. That such use will nDt, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general we/fare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or Injurious to
property or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposed use would not be detrimental to persons, but would make available desirable heath
services that would contribute to the health and general welfare of persons. The health services
would be especially accessible to persons in the vicinity. The project is categorically exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act and would not result in any significant environmental
impacts. There would be no major exterior improvements tD the property; consequently, there
would be no aesthetic or physical impacts to property or improvements in the area. The small
scale of the proposed medical office use would not be incompatible with the neighborhood. The
proposed use would be consistent with adopted policies in the General Plan and the
Redevelopment Plan for the area. The establishment and operation of the use would be subject
to the requirements of responsible agencies with jurisdiction.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the
Municipal Code for such use.
The proposed use would be required tD comply with the regulations of the Municipal Code, and in
any case where it does not comply, this Special Land Use Permit is subject to modification or
revocation. The Redevelopment Agency does hereby find that the conditions herein imposed on
the grant of this permit or other entitlement herein contained is approximately proportional both in
nature and extent to the impact created by the proposed project.
4. That the granting of this Special Land Use Permit will not adversely affect the General
Plan Df the City of Chula Vista Dr the adopted plan Df any government agency.
The project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan. The Project is located within the
boundaries of the Central Chula Vista Area Plan (Chapter 10 of the General Plan). Section 2.1,
Land Use, identifies mixed uses as a primary element of Town Centre I and identifies the mixed
use category of land uses. Goal 3, Objective 10 of the Area Plan specifically calls for "mixed
commercial Dffice/residential uses" within the vicinity of Third Avenue. The Land Use Diagram
delineates mixed use areas near Third Avenue. Section 5.1, Urban Core, identifies
residential/office mixed use for the area south of E Street, west of Third Avenue, and east of
Friendship Park. Section 5.3, Third Avenue Shops and Mixed Use, identifies mixed use for the
area north and east of Friendship Park, along Glover, Garrett, and Landis Avenues.
The proposed use is consistent with the goal of the Town Centre Redevelopment Plan, the
Downtown Vision Statement, and Town Centre Project Area Committee Land Use Policy, which
call for the revitalization of the Town Centre and downtown as a commercial district. Granting a
4-'-
Special Land Use Permit for the proposed use will reaffirm the effectiveness of the land use
