Questions and concerns expressed at the neighborhood meeting included: 1) private road access; 2) lot sizes; and 3) traffic. Each of these issues will be discussed in detail in the body of this report. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial Study, IS-06-020, 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-06-020 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 15-1 PCS-06-13 Page No.2 RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, PCS-06-13, I) adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-06-020; 2) approving the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map known as Napa Place, Chula Vista Tract 06-13 to subdivide 1.7 acres at 445 First Ave into nine (9) Single Family Residential lots and one (I) common lot containing the private access road and guest parking, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained in the attached City Council Resolutions. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On May 7,2007, the Resource Conservation Commission (RCC) determined that the Initial Study IS-06-020 for the Project was adequate, and recommended adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-06-020. The Planning Commission considered this proposal on June 13,2007 and voted 7-0-0 in favor of recommending that the City Council approve the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map known as Napa Place, Chula Vista Tract 06-13 allowing to subdivide 1.7 acres at 445 First Ave into nine (9) Single Family Residential lots and one (I) common lot containing the private access road and guest parking. DISCUSSION Project Site Characteristics: The Project site is located on the east side of First Avenue between "G" and "H" Streets. The Project site is rectangular in shape (235' X 320'). The property gradually slopes from north to south approximately 10- ft. Access to the site is from First Avenue. The northern terminus of Corte Helena Avenue adjoins the project site, but no access is taken from Corte Helena Avenue. A single family home and other accessory structures presently occupy the western end of the property and the remaining land is currently vacant. The existing surrounding land uses are as follows: General Plan Zoning Current Land Use Site: North: South: East: West: Residential Low Medium Residential Low Medium Residential Low Medium Residential Low Medium Residential Low Medium RI RI RI RI RI Single -Family Residential Single -Family Residential Single -Family Residential Single -Family Residential Single -Family Residential 15-2 PCS-06-13 Page No.3 Project Description: The Tentative Subdivision Map consists of nine (9) residential lots served by a 26 ft wide private road, connecting the project to First Avenue. Eight guests parking stalls strategically located to serve all lots (see Project Plans, Attachment E). No access to and from Corte Helena Avenue is proposed as part of this tentative subdivision map. The individual lots are rectangular in shape and range in size from 6,072 sq. ft. to 7,670 sq. ft. Six of the nine lots (lots 4-9) feature 100% level building pads and three lots (lots 1-3) features a minor slope condition along the north property line. Access to the individual lots are directly and exclusively from the private road (see Project Plans, Attachment E). In order to create the above-mentioned building pads, grading of the site would consist of moving approximately 3,000 cu. ft. of soil, by either removing soil from one location to another or bringing in additional soil to create a level pad area. Analysis: Subdivision Design The subdivision design consists of nine lots served by a "T" shaped private road taking access to First Avenue. The private road is 26 ft wide with sidewalk on one side (north side), rolled curbs and no parking on either side. No access is proposed on Corte Helena Avenue. At the neighborhood meeting of February 22, 2007, some of the residents asked questions if the applicant is proposing any future openings onto Corte Helena Avenue. The applicant stated that there is no current plan now or in the future to allow access through Corte Helena Avenue. The lots are rectangular in shape with frontage along the private drive to accommodate an access driveway and landscaping areas within the required building setback. The subdivision provides eight (8) perpendicular parking spaces throughout the project. The homeowners association, required as part of this Tentative Subdivision Map, will be responsible for the maintenance of the private road and on-site parking. At the neighborhood meeting of February 22, 2007, some of the residents asked questions regarding the lot sizes in relation to the surrounding properties. The existing surrounding lot sizes average about 7,600 square feet, which is typical for the R-l single-family area, with the exception of the parcel adjacent to the site to the north, which consist of 1.86 acres. Pursuant to Section 19.24.080 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, twenty percent of the lots created by said subdivision may be reduced to 6,000 square -feet, and ten percent of the lots thus created may be reduced to 5,000 square feet, provided that the average lot size of all the lots within the subdivision shall equal a minimum of 7,000 square feet. The proposed subdivision features seven lots that meet the minimum 7,000 sq. ft. requirement and two lots that meet the minimum 6,000 sq. ft. requirement, with an average lot size of7,000 sq. ft. 15-3 PCS-06-13 Page No.4 The private road is proposed to be gated with a wrought iron fence and entry gate. The gate would be located approximately 45-ft from the curb line along First Avenue, allowing 2-vehicle queuing. The gate would remain open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. When the gate is closed, owners would use their remote control button to open the gate. Guests will use a phone intercom system. Due to the width of the private street and the need to maintain emergency vehicle clearance, the phone intercom system would be mounted on the passenger side approximately 10-ft in front of the gate. All service provides would be furnished with a code number to access the site. The Police and Fire Departments would require electronic apparatus, such as Opticom strobe entry system, and a Knox override switch to insure emergency vehicles would have access without delaying their response time. The City Engineer has reviewed the location of the gate and has determined that the normally required ISO-foot queuing distance could be waived based on the number oflots in this subdivision. Overall the Subdivision design is in conformance with the City's Subdivision Manual, Zoning Ordinance and other associated regulatory documents. Traffic The existing traffic volumes are 3,344 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on First Avenue. The traffic generated by the project is approximately 72 ADT, which will bring the total to 3,416 ADT. The increase in traffic is not considered to be a substantial increase in either number of vehicle trips, volume or capacity along First Ave and surrounding street segments. Thus, the level of service (LOS) will remain at "c" on First Avenue and the primary access roads. At the neighborhood meeting of February 22, 2007, some of the residents expressed concern regarding an increase level of traffic along First A venue. Based on the above, the proposed residential infill project is not anticipated to result in any significant traffic or circulation impacts. Drainage The proposed drainage improvements include two underground detention systems within the site, porous pavement with underground storage, and detention in a brow ditch. A new outlet may be required at the center of Corte Helena Avenue pursuant to the final drainage study for the site. Additional Best Management Practices (BMPs) included as part of the project design consist ofa storm drain inlet protection system, rip rap outlet protection, protection of access and perimeter containment measures including open space and landscaped treatments throughout the project site. No adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. The proposed improvements are adequate to handle the project storm water runoff generated from the site. A final drainage study will be required prior to issuance of any building permit. 15-4 PCS-06-13 Page No.5 Public Facilities Sewer The project site is within the boundaries of the City ofChula Vista wastewater services area. The existing area sewer facility system includes sewer lines along First A venue and along Alpine Avenue. There is an existing off-site 8" sewer main along First Avenue right of way, and a 6" PVC sewer main along Alpine Avenue crossing First Avenue, along the frontage of the proposed project site. The sewer main needs to be extended from the First Avenue sewer main to the project via a public utility easement within the private road. Individual lots would be connected to this sewer main extension. The applicant is required to grant an easement to the City of Chula Vista wastewater services for the purpose of maintenance of the proposed sewer lines. No adverse impacts to the City's sewer system, or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. Water According to Sweetwater Authority correspondence dated April 11, 2006 and April 19, 2006, an existing 6-inch water main is located on the east side of First Avenue, and a 4-inch water main on the east side of Corte Helena at the south end of the parcel. The Project requires a new looped 8-inch water line connected to First A venue and Corte Helena water mains. The 8-inch water line extension would be a public facility within the private road. The Owner must submit a plumbing plan that includes the total fixture unit count of all existing and new plumbing fixtures, so that the appropriate service size( s) for each individual lot can be determined. Emergencv Services The terminus of the private street will be a l84-ft hammerhead. The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and approved the proposed turn-around radius. A private fire hydrant shall be installed at the hammerhead in accordance with the requirement of the Fire Department..An Opticom strobe entry system and a Knox override switch would be required at the gate to provide access for emergency vehicles. Parks and Open Space There are two parks nearby located near the Project site. Norman Park is located .47 miles and Memorial Park is located .54 miles northwest of the Project site. The Applicant will be required to pay in-lieu park fees. Schools The project is within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District, which serves children Kindergarten through Grade 6. The nearest public schools are Hilltop Drive Elementary, .35 miles, Hilltop Middle School, .71 miles, and Hilltop High School, .53 miles southeast of the Project site. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable school development fees based upon assessable area. 15-5 PCS-06-13 Page No.6 Proiect Compliance with Growth Management This project is below the threshold number of dwellings required to prepare a Water Conservation or Air Quality Improvement Plan. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICTS: Staff has reviewed the property holdings of City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is subject to this action. CONCLUSION: This Project is consistent with the Single-Family Residential (Rl) Zone, General Plan designation of Residential Low Medium, and all other applicable codes and regulations of the Municipal Code. For the reasons stated above, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, PCS-06-13, 1) adopting Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-06-020; 2) approving the proposed Tentative Subdivision Map known as Napa Place, Chula Vista Tract 06-13 to subdivide 1.7 acres at 445 First Ave into nine (9) Single Family Residential lots and one (1) common lot containing the private access road and guest parking, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained in the attached City Council Resolutions.

A. Pro; ect Setting . The 1.7-acre project site is located at 445 First Avenue, within the urbanized area of Western Chula Vista, (Exhibit 1- Locator Map). The site is adjacent to Alpine Ave, Alvarado Street, and Corte Helena Avenue and between G Street and H Street. Primary access to the site is currently provided off of First Avenue. The entire project site has been partially disturbed with previous uses including a single-family residence and garage/shed. The land uses immediately surrounding the project site are as follows: North; South; East: West: Single-Family Residential Single-Family Residential Single-Family Residential Single-Family Residential B. Pro;ect Description The proposal consists of subdividing the project site into 9 single-family parcels. Access to the site would be provided via a private road entrance off of First Avenue. The project includes the demolition of an existing single-family residence and garage/shed. Proposed on-site improvements include drainage facilities, sewer system facilities, fIre hydrants, retaining walls, fencing, improved paved areas, open space and landscape treatments. The proposal consists of a Tentative Map application, The project is identifIed as developable area within the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan. I 15-10 ATTACHMENTC C. Compliance with Zonin!! and Plans The proposed project site is within the General Plan RLM (Low-Medium Residential Density/3-6 dwelling units per acre) and Rl (Single-Family Residential) Zone. The proposed project has been found to be consistent with the applicable site development regulations and the General Plan. D. Public Comments On May 23,2006, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the proposed project site. The public review period ended June I, 2006. Two verbal comments were received during this period regarding the land use and density. These issues are addressed in the Planning staff report. On April 24. 2007 a Notice of A vailabilitv of the Proposed Miti!!ated Ne!!ative Declaration for the proiect was posted in the County Clerk's Office and circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the proiect site. The 30-dav public comment period closed on Mav 24. 2007. No written public comments were received durin!! the public review period. E. Identification of Environmental Effects An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental Checklist form) determined that the proposed project may have potential significant environmental impacts however; mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to reduce these impacts to a less than significant level. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the State of California Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Air Oualitv Short- Term Construction Activities The proposed project will result in a short-term air quality impact created from construction activities associated with the proposed project. The grading of the site for future single-family residential development and worker and equipment vehicle trips will create temporary emissions of dust, fumes, equipment exhaust, and other air pollutants associated with the construction activities. Air quality impacts resulting from construction-related operations are considered short-term in duration. In order to analyze potential project impacts/emissions, the emission factors and threshold criteria contained in the 1993 South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Handbook for Air Quality Analysis were used. Table 1 below provides a comparison of daily construction emissions to the SCAQMD's emission thresholds of significance for each criteria pollutant. Emissions were calculated using the URBEMIS 2002 model. The addition of emissions to an air basin is considered under CEQA to be a significant impact. Implementation of the Mitigation Measure 1 contained in Section F below would mitigate short-term construction-related air quality impacts to below a level of significance. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Combined Short-Term and Long- Term Impacts In order to assess whether the project's contribution to ambient air quality is cumulatively considerable, the project's operational emissions were quantified. The proposed project once developed will not result in significant long-term air quality impacts. The minimal project generated traffic volume would not result in significant long-term local or regional air quality impacts. Through project design, emission-controlled construction vehicles and efficiency building product, no area 2 15-11 source or operational vehicle emission estimates will exceed the Air Quality significance thresholds; therefore, no mitigation measures are required. Refer to Table 2.0 below. Biological Resources A Biological Resource Analysis was prepared by Tierra Environmental Services, Inc., dated February 7, 2007, to assess the potential biological resource impacts of the project. A biological reconnaissance survey of the project site was conducted on May 23, 2006 to identify existing vegetation on the site. The biological resource analysis is summarized below. Existing Conditions The 1.7-acre project site consists entirely of developed and disturbed vegetation. Developed vegetation consists of ornamental landscaped areas and non-native cultivated vegetation. The disturbed vegetation area is now dominated by non-native plants and approximately 40-60 ornamental trees primarily Brazilian Pepper and Chinese elm. A portion of the northern property is currently vacant and undeveloped. The project site is located within in the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan boundary in an area designated as a "Development Area." Under the Subarea Plan, the proposed project is not subject to the requirements under the Habitat Loss Incidental Take (HUT) Ordinance. Wildlife/Sensitive Species/Sensitive Habitats The biological report stated that wildlife species such as birds and butterflies occupied the site. Although the project area may support some small mammal and reptile species, none were detected during the survey. No potential appropriate habitat for any of the sensitive species reported occurred on-site. Although no raptors were observed during the site survey, large trees occurring on-site may provide suitable habitat for Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperi) which is a covered species under the city of Chula Vista's MSCP Subarea Plan and a State species of special concern. Existing tall trees on site may also provide nesting habitat for a variety of migratory birds further discussed in Project Impact section below. Sensitive habitats include those communities considered unique because they host many species of plants and animals that are rare of substantially depleted. In accordance with the City of Chula Vista MSCP, these developed and disturbed vegetation areas are not considered sensitive habitats. Project Impact The existing lot supports a number of 40 to 60 foot ornamental trees. The proposed removal of these trees during development will impact potential habitat for the Cooper's Hawk and other migratory bird species if the development occurs during the breeding season between January 15 through August 31. If construction must occur during the breeding season, pre-construction surveys shall be conducted to determine the presence or absence of nesting raptors. Therefore, the proposed project may result in impacts to sensitive biological resources and mitigation measures are required. Further mitigation measures include clearing, grubbing or grading permits, and temporary orange biological fencing to be installed around the Brazilian Pepper, Chinese elm, and other mature tall trees that may provide nesting habitat for migrant birds. The City-approved biologist will delineate the dripline of the trees and monitor the installation of the temporary fencing. Implementation of the mitigation measures identified in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration will reduce potentially significant biological impacts to a level below significance. 3 15-12 Habitat Loss Incidental Take (HilT) Permit The project area is located within an area designated by the City of Chula Vista Subarea Plan as Developed Areas Outside of City of Chula vista Covered Projects and where it has been demonstrated that no Sensitive Biological Resources exits. Thus, the project is exempt from the City of Chula Vista Habitat Loss and Incidental Take Ordinance (Section 17.35 of the CYMe). Geology and Soils To assess the potential geological/soils impacts of the project, a Geotechnical Investigation evaluation was prepared by Allied Earth Technology, dated July 2005. No groundwater was encountered on the site. No major groundwater related problems, either during or after construction, are anticipated. No significant geological or soil impacts would be created as a result of the proposed project as conditioned. The site was graded previously with the development of the existing house and garage/shed. Proposed fill grading will occur over the entirety of the 1.+7 -acre site. Grading includes 800 cubic yards to be excavated, fill of 1,500 cubic yards, and 700 cubic yards of soil imported with a maximum cut and fill slope ratio of 2: 1. The preparation and submittal of a final soils report will be required prior to the issuance of a grading permit as a standard engineering requirement. According to the City's Engineering Division, the project will require a grading permit. In order to prevent silt discharge during construction, the developer will be required to comply with best management practices in accordance with NPDES Order No. 2001-01. The appropriate erosion control measures would be identified in conjunction with preparation of final grading plans and would be monitored and implemented during construction by the Engineering Division. Therefore, the potential for the discharge of silt into city drainage systems would be less than significant. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate potential geological/soils impacts to a less than significance level. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Hazards The project proposal includes the demolition of the existing residence, and garage/shed. The potential exists for impacts to result from the demolition of structures that may contain lead and asbestos. Therefore, prior to any demolition activities, a licensed and registered asbestos and lead abatement contractor will perform asbestos and lead-based paint abatement in accordance to all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, including San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Rule 361.145 - Standard for Demolition and Renovation. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate potential hazards/hazardous materials impacts to a less than significant level. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Hvdrology and Water Oualitv Existing The existing site drainage flows toward properties south of the site, First Avenue and Corte Helena Avenue. There is an existing 27 inch drainage pipe and curb inlet located north ofH Street on the east side of First Avenue and an existing 27 inch drainage pipe and curb inlet located at H Street just east of First A venue. Other existing on-site and off-site drainage is divided into sub-basins. Adjacent properties north and east of the site sheet flow onto the project property. 4 15-13 Proposed According to the Engineering Department, the proposed improvements are adequate to handle the project storm water runoff generated from the site. The existing flow to First Ave and Corte Helena were analyzed under the 100-year flood event. The proposed drainage improvements include two underground detention systems within the site, with porous pavement with underground storage and detention in the brow ditch. The proposed outlet at the center of Corte Helena, draining a portion of Sub-basin E2, maybe required to outlet at westerly gutter of Corte Helena. Additional Best Management Practices (BMPs) included as part of the project design consist of a storm drain inlet protection system, rip rap outlet protection, protection of access and perimeter containment measures including open space and landscaped treatments throughout the project site. No adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. As a standard condition, a final drainage study will be required in conjunction with the preparation of the project grading plans. Properly designed drainage facilities will be installed at the time of the site development to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. In addition, compliance with required NPDES regulations and BMPs will reduce water quality impacts to a less than significant level. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (See Section F). Wastewater Services/Sewer System The project site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The existing area sewer facility system includes sewer lines along First Avenue and along Alpine Ave. There is an existing off-site 8" sewer main along First Avenue right of way, and a 6" PVC sewer main along Alpine Avenue crossing First Avenue along the frontage of the proposed project site. The applicant will be required to submit a final sewer study to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The applicant is required to grant an easement to the City of Chula Vista wastewater services for the purpose of maintenance of the proposed sewer lines. No adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. F. Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Imoacts Air Qualitv I. The following air quality mitigation requirements shall be shown on all applicable grading, and building plans as details, notes, or as otherwise appropriate, and shall not be deviated from unless approved in advance in writing by the City's Environmental Review Coordinator: . Minimize simultaneous operation of multiple construction equipment units. . Use low pollutant-emitting construction equipment. . Use electrical construction equipment as practical. . Use catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment. . Use injection-timing retard for diesel-powered equipment. . Water the construction area twice daily to minimize fugitive dust. . Stabilize graded areas as quickly as possible to minimize fugitive dust. . Pave permanent roads as quickly as possible to minimize dust. . Use electricity from power poles instead of temporary generators during building, if available. . Apply stabilizer or pave the last 100 feet of internal travel path within a construction site prior to public road entry. . Install wheel washers adjacent to a paved apron prior to vehicle entry on public roads. . Remove any visible track-out into traveled public streets within 30 minutes of occurrence. 5 15-14 . Wet wash the construction access point at the end of each workday if any vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces has occurred. . Provide sufficient perimeter erosion control to prevent washout of silty material onto public roads. . Cover haul trucks or maintain at least 12 inches of freeboard to reduce blow-off during hauling. . Suspend all soil disturbance and travel on unpaved surfaces if winds exceed 25 miles per hour. Biological Flesources 2. To avoid any direct impacts to nesting Coopers' hawk and other nesting migratory birds occur during construction (including clearing and grubbing), construction activities should occur outside of the raptor and general avian breeding season (January IS through August 31) If construction must occur during the breeding season, pre-construction surveys shall be performed by a City-approved biologist to determine the presence or absence of nesting raptors within 300-feet of the construction area. The pre-construction survey shall be conducted within 10 calendar days prior to the start of any construction related activities (including removal of vegetation), the results of which must be submitted to the City's Environmental Proj ects Manager for review and approval. If nesting raptors are detected by the City- approved biologist, a biological monitor shall be present on-site during construction to minimize construction impacts and ensure that nest should be removed or disturbed until all young have fledged. 3. Prior to issuance of any land development permit, including clearing, grubbing or grading permits, temporary orange biological fencing shall be installed around the Brazilian Pepper, Chinese elm, and other mature tall trees that may provide nesting habitat for migrant birds. Fencing shall be constructed in accordance with the development plans to the satisfaction of the Environmental Fleview Coordinator. The City's Mitigation Monitor will conduct periodic site visits to verify the placement of the biological fencing and to ensure that all construction activities remain within the approved limits of grading. Geological 4. Prior to the issuance of construction permits, the applicant shall provide evidence to the City Engineer that all the recommendations in the Allied Earth Technology, dated July 2005 have been satisfied. Hazards/Hazardous Materials 5. Prior to any demolition activities, a licensed and registered asbestos and lead abatement contractor shall perform asbestos and lead-based paint abatement in accordance to all applicable local, state and federal laws and regUlations, including San Diego County Air Pollution Control District Flule 361.145 - Standard for Demolition and Flenovation. Hvdrology and Water Oualitv 6. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a final drainage study shall be required in conjunction with the preparation of the final grading plans and must demonstrate that the post-development peak flow rate does not exceed the pre-development flows as indicated in the Drainage Study dated September 27,2006, and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Additionally, the City 6 15-15 Engineer shall verify that the tinal grading plans comply with the provisions of California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region Order No. 2001-01 with respect to construction-related water quality best management practices. If one or more of the approved post construction BMPs is non-structural, then a post-construction BMP plan shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to the commencement of construction. Compliance with said plan shall become a permanent requirement of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. 7. Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, temporary desilting and erosion control devices shall be installed. Protective devices shall be provided at every storm drain inlet to prevent sediment from entering the storm drain system. These measures shall be reflected in the grading and improvement plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and Environmental Projects Manager. 8. Prior to issuance of street improvement permit, a final sewer study will be required to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

The proposed project has been evaluated in an Initial StudyIMitigated Negative Declaration prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City/State CEQA Guidelines (IS-06-020) The legislation requires public agencies to ensure that adequate mitigation measures are implemented and monitored for Mitigated Negative Declarations. AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and/or significant environmental impacts. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this project ensures adequate implementation of mitigation for the following potential impacts(s): 1. Air Quality 2. Biological Resources 3. Geology and Soils 4. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 5. Hydrology and Water Quality MONITORING PROGRAM Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinators shall be the Environmental Projects Manager and City Engineer of the City ofChula Vista. The applicant shall be responsible to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are met to the satisfaction of the Environmental Projects Manager and City Engineer. The applicant shall provide evidence in written form confirming compliance with the mitigation measures specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-06-020 to the Environmental Projects Manager and City Engineer. The Environmental Projects Manager and City Engineer will thus provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have been accomplished. Table I, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Checklist, lists the mitigation measures contained in Section F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Effects, of Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-06-020, which will be implemented as part of the project. In order to determine if the applicant has implemented the measure, the method and timing of verification are identified, along with the City department or agency responsible for monitoring/verifying that the applicant has completed each mitigation measure. Space for the signature of the verifying person and the date of inspection is provided in the last column.

This increased demand on fire services will not result in a significant cumulative impact. No adverse impact to the City's Fire and Emergency Medical Threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. d) According to the Traffic Engineering Division, the surrounding street segments will continue to operate in compliance with the City's traffic threshold standard with the proposed project traffic. No adverse impact to the City's traffic threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project. e) The proposed project would not induce significant population growth, as it is a small residential infill project and would not impact existing or proposed recreational facilities. However, the applicant will be required to pay Park Acquisition and Development Fees (pAD) in accordance with Ordinance No. 2945 adopted by City Council on January 6, 2004. f) Based upon the review of the project, the Engineering Department has determined that there are no significant issues regarding the proposed drainage improvements of the project site. The proposed drain system includes improvements to existing drainage culverts to handle I DO-year storm events, a series of inlets, private catch basins and culverts, underground detention systems, discharge controls, and filtering systems. No adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. 22 15-47 g) The project site is within the bOlmdaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The existing area sewer facility system includes sewer lines along First Avenue and along Alpine Ave. There is an existing off-site 8" sewer main along First Avenue right of way, and a 6" PVC sewer main along Alpine Avenue crossing First Avenue along the frontage of the proposed project site. The applicant shall be required to submit a final sewer study to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. The applicant is required to grant an easement to the City of Chula Vista wastewater services for the purpose of maintenance of the proposed sewer lines. No adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. h) The project site is within the potable water service area of the Sweetwater District. Pursuant to correspondence from the Sweetwater Authority, the project may be serviced from the 6"-water main on the east side of First A venue and a 4-inch water main located on the east side of Corte Helena at the south end of the parcel, to the east boundary. The applicant will need to install a new looped 8- inch water main connected to the Authority's water mains in First Avenue and Corte Helena to service this site. The proposed project will be required to construct expansions to existing water facilities as described in Section XVLb above. No significant impacts to existing facility systems or the City's water threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are required.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council fmds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein for 445 First Avenue, is in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following: 1. Land Use The project will be developed at a density of 5 dwelling units per acre, which is within the allowable residential density range of 3-6 dwelling units per acre. The project proposes a detached single family planned development which will be consistent with the character intended for a Residential Low-Medium area, and will be more compatible with the development of the surrounding area, which is primarily single family residential. The proposed proj ect provides housing opportunities in the northwest portion of the City. 15-56 Resolution No. 2007- 2. Circulation The subdivision design consists of nine lots served by a 'T' shaped private road with direct access to First Avenue via a gated entrance. The private road is 26 ft wide with sidewalk on one side (north side), rolled curbs and no parking on either side. There are eight (8) guests parking stalls strategically located to serve all lots. No access is proposed on Corte Helena Avenue. The private road, gate, and guest parking spaces within the Project will be designed in accordance with the City design standards and/or requirements and provide for vehicular and pedestrian connections. 3. Public Facilities The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those services. There are no public service, facility, or phasing needs created by the Project that warrants the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan. 4. Housing The Project is consistent with the density prescribed within the Residential - Low Medium General Plan designation, and the Project provides additional opportunities for single-family residential home ownership. 5. Growth Management The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element requirements because there are no public service, facility, or phasing needs that warrant the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan. 6. Open Space and Conservation The project proposes individual single-family homes that meet the minimum open space requirement per the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-02-045, which addressed the goals and policies of the California Environmental Quality Act, and found the development of the site to be consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation Element. 7. Parks and Recreation The Project has been conditioned to pay park acquisition and development fees prior to recordation of the Final Map. 8. Safetv The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the proposal, as conditioned, meets those standards. 15-57 Resolution No. 2007- 9.

Scenic Highwav This Project Site IS not located adjacent to or visible from a designated sceruc highway. 11. Seismic Safety A geotechnical investigation evaluation has been prepared for the project, which determined that there are no known active faults existing on the project site or in the immediate area. The closest known active fault is the Rose Canyon Fault located approximately 6.8 miles south of the project site. Therefore, project compliance with applicable Uniform Building Code standards would adequately address any building safety/seismic concerns. 12. Safety The City Engineer, Fire, and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed subdivision of existing apartments to condominiums for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the proposal meets the City Standards for seismic safety and emergency services. B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council finds that the configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allows for the optimum siting of lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities and that the development of the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to insure the maximum utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities. C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Council certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources. D. The site is physically suited for residential development because the proposed site can accommodate the density of residential development called for by the General Plan. E. The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein contained are approximately proportional both in nature and extend to the impact created by the proposed development. 15-58 Resolution No. 2007- BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby approve the Project subject to the general and special conditions set forth below.
