to approve the UCSP.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Chula Vista does hereby ordain as
follows:
1. That the UCSP plan is in conformance with the City's General Plan based on the following
findings of fact.
Ordinance No. 3070
Page 4
In December 2005, after a multi-year planning process, the Chula Vista City Council adopted a
new General Plan that represents the vision for the City through the year 2030. With the approval
of new land use designations under the 2005 General Plan, new zoning regulations, in particular
mixed use and urban core residential zoning districts, are required to ensure the systematic
implementation of General Plan. The Urban Core Specific Plan (UCSP) is the first in a series of
significant zoning documents that would implement the 2005 General Plan.
The 2005 General Plan largely focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of the western
portion of the city and described a new vision for portions of the City referred to as the "urban
core. The long-range vision as described in the 2005 General Plan anticipates that:
"The urban core has developed into a vibrant area, with housing; shops; restaurants;
entertainment; and activities that attract from eastern Chula Vista and city-wide. Higher
density housing, shopping, and job centers are located near the major transit stations,
including E Street and Interstate 5; H Street and Interstate 5; and near Third Avenue and
H Street. These key activity nodes give people transportation choices. encourage the use
of mass transit, and help to reduce vehicular traffic. They are accentuated by landmark
building design, and for the two Transit Focus Areas at E Street/Interstate 5 and H
Street/Interstate 5, strategic use of some taller (high-rise) structures that draw attention,
and provide unique identities for these important gateway entrances to the urban core
and the bay front. A network of linked urban parks and plazas creates pleasant pedestrian
routes and provides areas for community activities. Increased population (residents and
workers) in the Urban Core Subarea has created opportunities for more shops and a
variety of restaurants. Entertainment and cultural arts are housed in new and renovated
buildings, offering both day and evening activities. The streets are bustling with shoppers
and people enjoying outdoor dining or heading to entertainment venues.
A grade-separated trolley line at E and H Streets has improved the flow of east-west
traffic, while a local shuttle provides frequent service between Urban Core Subarea
activity centers. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line allows residents in the East Planning
Area convenient access to the Urban Core Subarea.
F Street is a pedestrian-oriented promenade that links Third Avenue; the Civic Center;
Broadway; the E Street transit center; and the Bayfront Planning Area with themed
landscaping and public art. The freeway crossings of Interstate 5 have been widened to
accommodate additional pedestrian use, and entryways into the Urban Core Subarea are
enhanced and inviting. Chula Vista's Urban Core Subarea has matured into an urban,
pedestrian-oriented, active area that continues to be the primary economic,
governmental, and social focal point of the south San Diego County region. "
The proposed UCSP is based on the objectives provided in the 2005 General Plan and provides
further detail on how these objectives will be implemented. The components of the UCSP
implement the 2005 General Plan vision of a vibrant urban core and include mobility
recommendations, land use and development regulations, development design guidelines and
incentives, public realm design guidelines, infrastructure and public facilities improvements, and
a community benefits program. Exhibit B also provides a reference to the applicable General
Plan Land Use and Transportation Objectives that are implemented through the various chapters
of the UCSP.
Ordinance No. 3070
Page 5
Chapter V - Mobility of the UCSP provides a variety of approaches and strategies to "get people
from here to there" as envisioned by the Land Use and Transportation Element of the 2005
General Plan. Improvements for the main thoroughfares and other streets within the Urban Core
are identified and address pedestrian, bicycle, transit, automobile and parking opportunities.
Traffic calming elements, pedestrian improvements and paseos are introduced to slow traffic and
create a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Recommendations for new and upgraded
bikeway facilities throughout the area for both recreational and commuting users are also
included. As envisioned by the Land Use and Transportation Element of the 2005 General Plan,
three transit focus areas within the Urban Core provide multi-modal opportunities for both local
and regional transit and a new shuttle loop system serving the Urban Core and Bayfront is
proposed. Various roadway network and capacity improvements are proposed, especially in
areas where the street grid has been interrupted over time and off-street public parking strategies
are also proposed within the Urban Core.
Chapter VI - Land Use and Development Regulations of the UCSP establish three different
Specific Plan Districts - Village, Urban Core and Corridors which are further defined into sub-
districts, each with customized form based regulations and standards. Subdistrict regulations
shape the building form and intensity, allowable land uses, and parking requirements. As
envisioned by the Land Use and Transportation Element of the 2005 General Plan, land uses are
proposed to encourage a mix of pedestrian-oriented commercial uses with higher density
residential uses. Development and parking standards encourage locating buildings closer to the
street (i.e. with parking behind or tucked under the building).The regulations also stress
flexibility and provision of urban amenities such as streetscape improvements, parks, plazas,
transit, cultural arts and mixed use. The tallest buildings are allowed at the transit focus areas at
1-5/H Street and I-5/E Street where support by alternative modes of transportation is readily
available. Neighborhood Transition Combining Districts have been created for subdistricts
adjacent to R-l and R-2 zoning areas to protect and buffer existing residential neighborhoods and
ensure compatible, stepped-back building heights and setbacks. Special provisions address
live/work units, mixed-uses and parking structures. Zoning incentives are provided to encourage
development to provide high performance buildings and urban amenities such as parks and
plazas beyond required levels.
Chapter VII - Development Design Guidelines of the UCSP provide comprehensive design
guidelines for development within the three Specific Plan Districts, as well as special guidelines
for hotels, mixed-use projects, multi-family residential projects, and sustainability. The form-
based guidelines supplement the Specific Plan development regulations to create a more
attractive, well-designed urban environment. These guidelines apply to construction,
conservation, adaptive reuse, and enhancement of buildings and street scenes. Although no
specific architectural style is prescribed, the quality of design is guided by policies addressing
site planning, building height/form/mass, building materials/colors, storefront design,
landscaping, lighting, parking, circulation, signs and other development considerations. The goal
of the guidelines is to create a positive image for the Urban Core and frame the streets and
sidewalks with inviting buildings, entrances, awnings and outdoor dining areas.
Chapter Vlll - Public Realm Design Guidelines of the UCSP focuses on ways to create more
attractive and pedestrian-friendly public environments and gathering places. Street furniture,
landscaping, sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, paseos, public art, parks and plaza concepts are
defined. Two main themes emerge within the Specific Plan: an art-deco inspired design theme is
proposed along Third A venue, building upon the era when much of the development along the
street occurred, and a more contemporary theme is proposed for the remaining public realm areas
in the Urban Core, indicative of a forward-looking Chula Vista. Gateway treatments are
proposed at six locations to welcome people to the Urban Core and to reinforce the identity of
the Urban Core.
Ordinance No. 3070
Page 6
Based on the above, the City Council does hereby find that the proposed UCSP is consistent with
the 2005 General Plan and that the public necessity, conveniences, general welfare, and good
zoning practice support its approval and implementation.
2. That the specific plan has been prepared in accordance with the City's Municipal Code and the
California Government Code provisions governing specific plans based on the following
findings of fact.
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.07, Specific Plans, and the California Government Code,
Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457 establish the statutory
authority for specific plans. As provided in CVMC Chapter 19.07, "Specific plans may be
implemented through the adoption of standard zoning ordinances, the planned cornmunity zone,
as provided in this title, or by plan effectuation standards incorporated within the text of an
individual specific plan. The method of implementing an individual specific plan shall be
established and expressed by its adopting resolution or ordinance."
The UCSP has been prepared as an implementing document for future land uses, public
improvements, and programs as provided for in the 2005 General Plan. The new zoning
regulations proposed in the UCSP would replace existing Municipal Code zoning classifications
for the UCSP Subdistricts Area and introduce new zoning classifications for mixed-use
retail/office, mixed-use residential, and Urban Core (high density) residential as required by the
2005 GP (Reference GP Table 5-4).
The following table identifies the mandatory information required in a specific plan pursuant to
CVMC 19.07 and Section 65451 of the Government Code and the corresponding chapter(s)

The City Council does hereby find that the UCSP has been prepared pursuant to the authority
granted in the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.07, Specific Plans, and the California
Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, Sections 65450 through 65457 and
contains all the mandatory elements identified in Government Code Section 65451.
3. That the associated demands on public facilities and services due to development allowed by
the specific plan are identified prior to development, and will be mitigated prior to, or concurrent
with the development, and in conformance with the City's Growth Management Ordinance
CVMC 19.09 based on the following findings of fact; and
4. That a financing program has been prepared which identifies the methods for funding for those
facilities and services, and insures that the funds are spent on said facilities pursuant to the
phasing schedule based on the following findings of fact.
The General Plan was updated in December 2005 and created a new vision for the city. A large
part ofthat vision focused on the revitalization and redevelopment of western Chula Vista. New
growth is planned around "smart growth" principles such as mixed use, and transit oriented
development that concentrates infill and redevelopment to select focus areas and corridors to
protect stable single family neighborhoods, better utilize land resources, reduce environmental
effects and make more efficient use of existing infrastructure.
The General Plan calls for the preparation and adoption of specific plans to carry out the vision
ofthe GP in an organized and orderly fashion. The UCSP implements the policies and objectives
of the GPU to direct a portion of the growth expected to occur in the City over the next 20 years
to the Urban Core Area, by providing zone changes, development regulations and design
guidelines to accommodate future growth.
As described above under Finding 2, The UCSP includes an assessment of the proposed
distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private
transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential
facilities that would be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the
land uses described in the plan. In addition, the UCSP includes a program of implementation
measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures
necessary to carry the plan.
Specifically, Chapters V, VIII, IX, X, XI and Appendix D of the UCSP and the UCSP FEIR 06-
01, including the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), provide the plan and
mechanisms to ensure public facilities and services occur cornmensurate with subsequent
development. As described in the UCSP and FEIR, subsequent new development would be
required to provide adequate public services and facilities commensurate with their impact.
Chapter V (Mobility), Chapter VIII (Public Realm Design Guidelines), Chapter IX
(Infrastructure and Public Facilities) of the UCSP and Chapters 5.8, 5.11 and 5.12 of the Final
EIR provide an assessment of the demands on public facilities and infrastructure due to
development that may occur as a result of the specific plan.
Ordinance No. 3070
Page 9
Chapter X provides a detailed description of improvements and Appendix D Urban Core
Specific Plan - Public Facilities Implementation Analysis (PFIA) provides projected cost
estimates, projected timing of facilities, and financing mechanisms and revenues. The revenues
are based on projected tax increment and development impacts fees routinely collected as
development occurs in the City. These existing City-wide Public Facilities Development Impact
Fees (DIF) include:
. City-wide Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fee
. City-wide Recreation DIF
. Sewer fees
. Storm drain fees
. Traffic signal fees
. School impacts fees (collected pursuant to Government Code 65996)
These fees would continue to be collected from new development as it occurs in the urban core.
Additionally, the Engineering Department will begin developing a Transportation Development
Impact Fee (TDIF) within the next year, to address additional funding for future long-term
traffic intersection impacts that may occur as a result of "worst case" maximum buildout.
In addition, the UCSP FEIR, prepared as a Program EIR, includes an evaluation of the City's
growth management quality of life thresholds at a programmatic level based on development
projections over the course of the next 20 years. The EIR identifies mitigation measures which
would be applied on a project-by-project basis during subsequent review of individual
development projects. The Final EIR Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
provides a summary of the impacts analysis and/or mitigation measures for significant impacts
that address provision of public services and facilities. The MMRP ensures that subsequent new
development implements timely mitigation for impacts associated with new development, which
includes but is not limited to the installation of infrastructure or payment of fees for needed
public facilities as a result of new growth. These requirements would be assured through the
subsequent discretionary design review and approval of future project specific Urban Core
Development Permits.
Although the UCSP is intended to attract future development to the Subdistricts Area, the timing,
location and extent of subsequent development projects are unpredictable because of the unique
nature of urban revitalization. To further ensure the timely provision of public services and
facilities, monitoring of on-going development activity would be assessed through the City's
existing annual growth management monitoring and reporting. Monitoring programs, such as
the traffic monitoring program which monitors the actual performance of the street system by
conducting roadway segment travel time studies, would track the rate and effect of growth on an
annual basis. In addition to the annual GMO review, the bi-annual Budget/CIP cycle and a five
year status report would provide additional checks and balances of future growth. The integrated
system of growth management programs, standards, regulations, facility master plans, funding
systems and monitoring activities provide an effective system of checks and balances to ensure
that the provision of public services and facilities keeps in step with new development.
Ordinance No. 3070
Page 10
The City Council having reviewed and considered the information in the Public Hearing Draft
UCSP (PCM 07-01), Draft and Final EIR No. 06-01 and all reports, evidence and testimony
presented at the public hearing find, determine, and order that the UCSP Chapters V, VIII, IX, X,
XI and Appendix D of the UCSP and the UCSP FEIR 06-01, including the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), (all compiled within Appendix E) provide the plan
and mechanisms to ensure public facilities and services occur commensurate with subsequent
development and is in conformance with the City's Growth Management Ordinance CVMC
19.09.
5. The City Council does hereby amend the City of Chula Vista Zoning Map established by
Section 19.18.010 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code to rezone properties within the UCSP
Subdistricts Area as depicted in Exhibit "C". Areas currently zoned R-I; R-2; and R-3 will not
be rezoned, and the portion of the V -3 subdistrict fronting along Third A venue between F Street
and Park Way will have a maximum height of 45 feet.
II. Severability
The City Council declares that should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence or
word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of
competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions,
sections, paragraphs, sentences or words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.
III. Effective Date
This ordinance shall take effect and be in full force on the thirtieth day from and after its
second reading.
The provisions of the Specific Plan shall be applied to new development applications
submitted after the effective date of the ordinance adopting the Specific Plan. The provisions of
the Specific Plan do not apply to projects which have been legally constructed or are under
construction in conformance with all City required permits, or to projects which have received
required discretionary permit approvals but are not yet under construction. On a case by case
basis the zoning administrator may, as requested by the project applicant and pursuant to the
provisions of CVMC 19.07.030(C), afford pipeline status to those projects which have been
substantially processed consistent with existing zoning prior to the Specific Plan adoption, but
which have not yet received discretionary approvals.
