PLAN EXHIBIT A Developmen 1 01 \..,Ul~UIT 1 UNLU negative declaration ~ PROJECT NAME: Robinhood Mall Apts. PROJECT LOCATION: South of 1655 Brandywine Ave. PROJECT APPLICANT: Robert E. Casey 3648 Main St. Chula Vista, CA 92011 CASE NO: IS-8l-48 DATE: June 25, 1981 A. Project Setting The proposed project site consists of 0.8 acres of vacant land south of 1655 Brandywine Ave. The project site is presently part of a 1.66 acre parcel, partially developed with a neighborhood commercial shopping center. Vacant land is located to the east, an RV storage yard to the south, and comdominiums to the west across Brandywine Ave. There are vicinity. vicinity. no rare or endangered species located in the project Expansive soils are known to exist in the project EIR-73-8, Brandywine Planning Community (Robinhood Point Subdivision) identifies the presence of the La Nacion Fault zone, approximately 100 ft. to the east of the project site. The project site which was previously graded for future commercial construction also serves as access to the RV storage yard to the south. B. Project Description The applicant proposes to amend the approved General Development Plan for the project site which consisted of retail commercial floor space, in order to construct a 14 unit apartment complex. The proposed development consists of two 3 story structures, parking for 33 cars, and appropriate private open space and landscaping. Access to the RV storage lot to the south will continue to be provided across the project site. C. Compatibility with zoning and plans The proposed project site is a part of a 108 acre Planned Community (Robinhood Point). Residential density (gross) within this previously approved plan amounts to 2.7 dwelling units per acre. The proposed revision to the previously approved plan would increase density (gross) to 2.8 dwelling units per acre, well below the city 01 chula vista planning department environmental review section @lQ 18-81-48 ') maximum 12 dwelling units per acre designation on the General Plan for this area. The proposed project will be compatible with the General Plan upon approval of the revised General Development Plan. D. Identification of environmental effects 1. Soils Expansive soils have been identified in a recent soils report prepared on the subject property (Woodward-Clyde Consultants May 1979). Recommendations contained in the report should be incorporated into any development of the project site. 2. Geology The location of the La Nacion Fault zone was identified in EIR-73-8. The EIR advises that no residential structures be constructed within the fault zone (identified on the Robinhood Point subdivision map). Since commercial structures were previously proposed west of the fault zone and this proposed project will net have any structures located within the fault zone, no additional geological investigation will be required. 3. Drainage Surface drainage from the commercial site to the north presently traverses the subject site at two locations via concrete low- flow ditches. This runoff will be rerouted with this proposal, in order to reach Brandywine Ave. Approval by the Landscape Architect and City Engineer will be required for the design of these systems. 4. Noise The commercial development to the north has its trash rece~tacles located adjacent to the subject site. Nuisance noise levels may be experienced within the proposed private open space ureas. A 6' high zoning wall is proposed for the northerly property line dividing the commercial and residential land uses which should help in reducing these impacts. 5. Aesthetics Since parking lot lighting for the adjacent development is located at the subject propertys northerly boundary, special emphasis should be placed on providing some shielding of excess glare on the proposed apartment units. This can be accomplished by providing sunshade patio structures adjacent to the proposed units, subject to zoning requirements. 6. Schools Both the local junior and senior high schools are presently t - /o?/, IS-81-48 ] experiencing student cJpacity problems. The developer will be required to provide writtcll assurance from the local school districts that adequate classroom space is available. E. Mitigation measures necessary to avoid significant environmental impacts. 1. Development of the project site shall conform to recommen- dations contained within the soils investigation (Woodward-Clyc,e Consultants, May 1979) to ensure stable construction. 2. Internal site surface drainage plans shall be approved by the City Engineer and the City's Landscape Architect prior to construction of the project. 3. Patio sunshade structures shall be constructed for units 11 through 14 for screening of parking lot pole lights. Specifications shall be subject to zoning requirements. 4. The developer shall submit letters from the local school districts assuring that adequate classroom space is available to development. F. Findings of Insignificant Impact 1. The project will not adversely effect any natural or man- made environmental features present in the project setting, nor will the project generate any pollutants that will have a potential to significantly degrade the quality of the environ- ment or curtail the range of the environment which supports the biosystem. 2. The project is in conformance with the long range goals of the City of Chula Vista and will not therefore attain short term to the disadvantage of long range goals. 3. The proposed apartments will not have any impacts that are anticipated to interact and cause any substantial cumulative affect on the environment. 4 . air the The project will pollution, light, welfare or health not result in the generation of any noise, aesthetic blight or any other hazard to of any human beints.
