C. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial
Study, IS-07-030 in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based
upon the results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
determined that the project could result in significant effects on the environment.
However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur;
therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, IS-07-030.
D. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07-030) has been prepared in
accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
State CEQA Guidelines, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of ChuJa
Vista, and hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (IS-07-030). The Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07-030) are available for public review with the
Environmental Review Coordinator in the Planning and Building Department.
E. INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT OF CITY COUNCIL
The City Council does hereby find on the basis of the whole record before it, including
the initial study and comments received for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07-030), that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the

analysis. In addition, the City Council does hereby find that in the exercise of their
independent review and judgment, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07-030) in the form presented has been prepared
in accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and hereby adopts
the same.
F. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by
the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of conditional use permits, as
hereinbelow set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the
stated finding to be made.
1. That the proposed use at this 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.
The proposed use at this location is desirable in that the facilities (racetrack,
camping and parking areas) a significant distance away from residential
neighborhoods to the south and west and visually obscured from view to the north
and east by the surrounding rock mountain quarry.
2. 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.
This conditional use permit for a two (2) weekend racing events required
environmental documentation that analyzed the proposal with respect to the effect
of the proposal on health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working
in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
While traffic congestion may occur near the site at the time of the events, the
traffic will be controlled through a Traffic Control Plan, and while there will be
some noise annoyances due to racing events, these race-related noise annoyances
are not regulated by the noise ordinance; however, this noise will be monitored
for future reference.
For participants and spectators deciding to attend these racing events, safety
precautions such as concrete barriers and fencing are maximized to ensure the
health, safety or general welfare of persons involved as outlined in the
environmental document and staff reports.
In addition, the conditions to grant approval of this permit require that a Security
Plan, Safety/Medical Plan, and Traffic Control Plan be provided by the applicant
to minimize the potential impacts to public safety, fire, traffic, parking, and other
environmental effects on participants, spectators, and the surrounding residential
neighborhoods in the vicinity.
Resolution No. 2007-140
Page 4
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified
in the code for such use.
The temporary racing event and related will be conditions to comply with all
Municipal Code regulations. In addition, the conditional use permit provisions
for a racetrack as listed in the unclassified uses section of the Zoning Code
(19.54.020J-7) requires that all conditions be adhered to as determined by the City
Council in its approval of certain condition to the use permit.
4. 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.
Because the two (2) racing events proposed in the Conditional Use Permit are
only being permitted as a temporary event, the granting of this permit will not
require amendments to the Chula Vista General Plan, or the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan, and as such does not affect the future long-range planning of
land uses for the project site.
