A. Protect Settintr
1'he 9.5-acre protect site is located at 3513 Main Street, within the urbanized area of Western Chula
Vista, (Exhibit 1- Location Map). Primary access to the site is provided from Main Street. The
rectangular-shaped site is relatively flat and gently slopes in a southerly dtreclion. 1'he entire protect
site has been previously disturbed with previous uses including a towing company, storage facility,
recycling center and vehicle parts and storage. The project location is adjacent to the Citys MSCP
designated 75-100% Conservation Area. The land uses immediately surrounding the project site are
as follows:
North: Across Main Street/ SDU&F.
South: Wooden Pallet facility, Habitat Preserve, and Otay Valley Regional Park
Southwest: City of San Diego's Multi-Habitat Planning Arca (MHPA)
East Auto Paint and Auto Services
West: Auto Parts and Repair Services
B. Project Description
The proposal consists of the development of six lilt-up industrial buildings on the project site. "Ihe
total square footage proposed is 177,882 square fee[, with paved parking areas to accommodate 329
parking spaces. The proposed onsite tmprovements include drainage facilities (discharge ptpe, catch
basin w~sump pump, filtcnng system), fire hydrants, retaining walls, fencing, improved paved areas
and landscape treatments. The drainage tmprovements will continue off-site into the southern parcel
adJacent [o the project site. The existing dnveways are to he realigned with new curb, gutter and
sidewalk unprovements. The project site is located within the ILP (Limited Industrial/Precise Plan)
7,onc and Limited Industrial (Research and Limited Industrial) General Plan land use designations.
The site is also located within the Citv's Redevelopment Area and the Montgomery Specific Plan.
(Exhibit 2- Silc Plan 1.
C. Compliance with Zoning and Plans
The proposed project site is within the General Plan ILP (Limited Industrial/Precise Plan) Zone and
Limited Industrial (Research and Limited Industrial) area. The project has been found to be consistent
with the applicable zoning regulations and General Plan.
D. Public Comments
On February 17, 2005, 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 February 28, 2005. One verbal
comment was received regarding off-site infrastntcture improvements and availability of
redevelopment funding.
F.. Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist form) deternrined that the proposed project may have potential signiScant 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 Califomia Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Air uglify
Short-Term
The proposed project will result in a marginal increase in air pollutants during the construction phase
of the project. Fugitive dust would be created during grading and construction activities. Air quality
impacts resulting tiom construction-related operations are considered short-term in duration since
construction-related activities are a relatively short-term activity. Dust control measures required
doting grading operations would be implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
County oC San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and the Califomia Air Resources Board.
The mitigation measures 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.
Lung Term
The project site is located within the San Diego Atr Basin (SDAB). The proposed industrial infil]
project is consistent with the limited industrial desibmation of the project site under the adopted Chula
Vista General Plan and Zoning regulations and according to the traffic study would not generate any
substantial additional traffic or associated air quality impacts. The proposed industrial land use has
been included in regional air quality projects and plans and will not conflict with or violate any
applicable air quahry plans or standards. For these reasons, the proposed project would not result in
any significant long-term local or regional air quality impacts.
Biological Resources
A biological resource analysis was prepared by Ilclix Environmental Planning, Inc., dated September
12, 2005, to assess the potential biological resource impacts of the project (Exhibit 3-Biological
Resource Study). A biological recomraissance survey of the project site was conducted on February
17. 20115 and an addrt~onal site visit was made to map ofGsile vegetation on July 1Q 2005. The
biologiual resource study is summarized helow.
fhe 9.5-acre project site consists of 9.3 acres of developed land and approximately 0.2-acre of
disturbed habitat. The site is located in an area designated as a Development Area under the City's
Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan. The surrounding land to the west,
north, and east are completely developed. To the southwest, the land is undisturbed and is designated
as the City of San Diego's Multiple Habitat Preserve Area (MIIPA). Immediately south of the project
site is a parcel designated as the City of Chula Vista's 75-100%, Conservation Area; however, the
northern portion of this parcel has been previous graded and is currently occupied by a wooden pallet
facility.
Vegetation hnpacts
The biological report determined that the development of the project would result in impacts to 9.2
acres of developed land and 0.2-acre of disturbed habitat. According to the Subarea Plan, disturbed
habitat is classified as Tier N habitat and does not require mitigation. No mitigation is required for
impacts to development land.
Animal Species
Based on the biological report, no sensitive plant or animal species were observed on the project site
during the field surveys conducted by Helix in February 2005. The biological study also concluded
that the project site does not support any Federal or State listed sensitive plant or animal species, or
Covered Species under the Citys MSCP Subarea Plan. The biological report did however, detect a
least Bell's vireo (L'ueu bellii pa.rillas) off site in the City of San Diego's MHPA to the southwest In
addition, the biological report also noted that least Bell's vireo and raptors, including the Cooper's
hawk (Accipiter coupzrii) have the potential to nest in the ripanan comdor located wRhin the adjacent
preserve area. Although these species were not observed on the project site, potential edge effects
from the proposed development may potentially indirectly impact least Bell's vireo and raptor species
and the adjacent preserve area. Potential edge effects may include drainage runoff, excessive noise,
exposure to night lighting, and introduction of invasive plan[ material. Based on the biological report,
indirect impacts associated with drainage runoff will be mitigated by the use of fossil filters and
installation of a tip rap dissrpater to reduce scouring and erosion m the Preserve. Indirect impacts,
such as exposure to excessive noise, night lighting and invasive plant material, to the least Bell's
vireo, raptor species, and the adjacent preserve are considered significant. Implementation of the
mitigation measures identified in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration will reduce
identified indirect biological impacts to a level below significance.
Offcite hnpacts
The proposed project also includes the mstallation of an off-site drainage facility through a portion of
the southern parcel designated as a 75-100% Conservation Area. "fhe drainage facility will pass
through [he northern portion of the parcel that is currently occupied by a wooden pallet facility
impacting approximately 0 1-acre of developed land and 0.1-acre of disturbed habitat. In accordance
with the Subarea Plan, development within 75-100% Conservation areas is restricted to no more than
25°io of the mapped Conservation Area. As indicated in the hiological study, the drainage facility will
impact approximate]y 4% of the 5-acre parcel, which is under the 25% allowed. Therefore,
mstallation of the drainage facility will not result in a significant biological resource impacts and no
mitigation measure is reyuired.

Geoloey and Soils
To assess the potential geological/soils impacts of the project, a limited geotechnical evaluation was
prepared by GeoTek, Inc., dated May 12, 2004. The study indicated that the project site is not within
a mapped Earthquake Fault 'Lone or an area with known or suspected seismic hazards. The
liquefaction potential on the site is considered to be low due to the dense nature of the subsurface soils
and lack of a shallow water table.
The geotechnica] study indicates that a small area in the southern portion of the project site contains
undocumented fill materials. The geotechnical study includes recommended measures for the
recompaction of the fill materials to mitigate significant geological impacts. Prior to building permit
issuance, the applicant shall be required to comply with all the recommendations presented in the
Limited Geotechnical Evaluation for Proposed Industrial Center, dated May 12, 2004.
Submittal of a final soils report will be required prior to the issuance of grading permits to [he
satisfaction of the City Engineer. 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 par[ of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared by Secor, Inc., dated Apnl 2R, 2004 and
Revised Phase Ii Environmental Site Assessment prepared by GeoTek, Inc., dated May 18, 2005, in
order to assess the potential hazards associated with previous land uses.
Phasel Envirrnnnentul.Sile.A.eeessmenl
The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment prepared for the project site identified environmental
conditions of concern from the following previous ]and uses: a) dairy farm vehicle repair and waste
disposal; b) vehicle dismantling and repair businesses and waste vehicle fluids; and c) recycling
facility operations. The Phase 1 ESA recommended additional assessment work to further investigate
the noted environmental conditions.
Phase II Environmental Site 9ssessment
A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment report prepared by GeoTek, Inc., identified the need for
removal and remediahon of contaminated soil from the project site. The applicant has entered a
voluntary removal and remediahon program known as the Voluntary Assistance Program (VAP)
under the supervision of the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Services
(DENS). The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS) reviewed
the Phase II report and concurzed with the recommendations, which includes compacted till remedial
measure, proper dtsposa] of contaminated soils, and the reyuirement for a yualitied environmental
technician to be present on site during remediaton and construction activities.
The County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health Services (DEHS) is also reywring a
work plan and grading plan that includes identified excavation areas, soils testing, stockpiling areas,
and offsite soil disposal measures. Prior to the issuance of any grading permits, the applicant shall be
required to submit to the City F,nvironmental Review Coordinator, a copy of the approved work plan.
In addition, prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall obtain and submit to the
Environmental Keview Coordinator a closure or concurrence letter from DEHS acknowledging the
proper removal or containment o1 all contaminated soil onsite.

The mitigation measures contained in Seaton F below will mitigate potential hazards hazardous
material impacts to below a level of signitcance. These measures are included as a part of the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Hydrolouy and Water Quality
A preliminary hydrology study was prepared by K&S Engineering to assess the existing site
conditions and to determine the necessary drainage improvements. As indicated in the hydrology
study, the existing site consists mostly of developed land with surface runoff sheetflowing towards
the south.
The proposed storm drain system is adequate to handle the project storm water runoff generated from
the site. The proposed project will include several storm drain upgrades including a series of inlets,
pipes and fltering systems. 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 landscaped treatments throughout the project
site.
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 requved NPDES
regulations and BMPs will reduce water quality impacts to a less than significance level. These
measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (See Sechon F).
Tran snortati on/"f ra f5 c
A Traftc/Access Analysis was prepared by LOS Engineering, Inc., dated July 6, 2005, to assess the
potential transportation and traffic impacts associated with the proposed project. The study analyzed
the intersections of Main Sheet at Albany Avenue, in addition to the truck access into the project site.
As indicated in the traffic report, the proposed project is expected to generate 1,637 average daily
trips (AD"fs) with 191 AM peak hour trips and 200 PM peak hour trips. The study results
demonstrated that there would be no significant impacts to nearby signalized intersections and Main
Street would continue to operate at the LOS B level (AM and PM peak periods) with or without the
proposed project. All other surrounding streets would also continue to operate at the Threshold
Standard of LOS C or better.
The Traffic/Access Analysis requires that trucks w/large trailers (53 feet or longer) only be limited to
the westerly driveway of the project site. Access will be provided to the easterly driveway for smaller
trucks and vehicles. The applicant shall include proper signage and access restrictions idennfied m
the project "fraffc/Access Analysis, on the improvement plans to the satisfaction of the City
F,ngmeer. The signage shall also be designed and installed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Compliance with the required mifigation measure shall reduce any potential transportation and traffic
impacts to a less than sifmtficance level. This mitigation measure is included as a part of the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (See Section F).

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.
• 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.
Bioloeical Resources
2. To avoid any impacts associated with construction noise, construction must occur outside of the
breeding season (March 15 through September 15 for least Bell's vireo and January 15 through
July 31 for raptors). If construction must occur during the breeding season for these species, prior
to initiating any construction-related activities (including removal of vegetation), preconstruction
surveys must be performed by aCity-approved biologist to determine the presence or absence of
nesting vireo and/or raptors within S00-feet of the construction area. In the event Cooper's hawk
is identified during [he preconstruction surveys, a 300-feet impact avoidance area must be
established. If nesting vireo and/or raptors are detected, temporary noise barriers must be
installed within the development footprint to ensure that noise levels at the nest are reduced to
below 60 dBA Leq. The preconstructton survey results and recommendations must be submitted
to the Gty's Environmental Revlew Coordinator for review and approval prior to mrtlating any
construction activities.

4. To mitigate potential lighting impacts, all lighting shall be directed away from the Preserve, and
shielding with native or non-invasive plants, berms, or other methods to prevent any potential
indirect impacts due to night lighting. Additionally, low-pressure sodium lighting shall be used
to reduce these potential effects. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a lighting plan shall be
submitted [o the City's Environmental Review Coordinator for review and approval.
5. Prior to initiating any grading activities, temporary orange biological fencing shall be installed
along the hinds of grading for the proposed off-site drainage facility, to ensure no impacts to
sensitive biological resources located within the City's MSCP Preserve and the City of San
Diego's MHPA. All fencing shall be shown on the project grading plans. Prior to and during
construction, the City's Mitigation Monitor will verify biological fencing is properly installed and
maintained.

a-b)'ihe proposal includes the development of six tilhrp industrial buildings with site improvements in
accordance with the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code and Design Review Guidelines. The
proposed landscape improvements would enhance and improve the aesthetic quality of the Main
Street corridor. The proposed project would not damage any scenic resources, vegetation, or
historic buildings within a state scenic highway. The project site contains no scenic vistas or
views open to the public. The project site is located adjacent to the MSCP 75-100% Conservation
area and the Otay River Basin. As described in Sections E and F, implementation of the required
MSCP adjacency measures will reduce impacts to a level of less than significance.
c) The proposal is an infill industrial development project. The proposed project will not
substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the project site or its industrial
and commercial surroundings. The project site is planned for industrial development according
to the General Plan Land Use regulations.
d) The proposal shall comply with the City's minimum standards for roadway lighting and shall be
completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building. The project will be

~ For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, ^ ^ ^ ^
would the project expose people residing or working
in the project area to excessive noise levels?
Comments•
a-dj It is anticipated that on-site business employees and adjacent business personnel may be exposed
to construction noise associated with short-term construction activities. The project will be
required to comply with the City's Noise Ordinance. In addition, due to the minimal
construction activities associated with the project, impacts related to construction noise levels are
not expected to be significant.
The project site is adjacent to the MSCP 75-100 % Conservation Area and close proximity to the
Otay Valley Regional Park identified in the Cit_y's Multiple Species Conservation Program
Subarea Plan (MSCP). Potential short-term construction noise/adjacency preserve impacts are
addressed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section E, under Biological Resources.
No operational noise impacts arc expected due to the proposed facility design. The proposed
project will include roll-up doors that face similar land uses and directed away from sensitive
receptors. In addition, all business operations would be contained within the buildings and
therefore, impacts related to operational noise levels arc not expected to be significant.
e) The project is not located within an airport land use plan our within two miles of a public airport or
public use airport: therefore, the project would not expose people residing or working in the project
area to excessive noise levels.
f) The project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip; therefore, the project development
would not expose people working in the project area to excessive noise levels.
Mitisation:
No mitigation measures are required.

Comments•
a-c) No residential development is proposed that would induce substantial population growth in the area or
require substantial infrastmcture improvements. No permanent housing exists on the project site and
no displacement of housing or person would occur as a result oCthe proposed project. Based upon the
nature of the proposal no population growth inducement is anticipated. The project is an allowable
industrial use under the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan.

XXII. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
1 find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the ^
environment, and a Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the ~
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in
the project have been made or agreed to by the project proponent. A Mitigated
Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, ^
and an Environmental Impact Report is required.
I find that the proposed project may have a "potentially significant impact" or ^
"potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one
effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable
Icgal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis as described on attached sheets. An Environmental Impact Report is
required. but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although [he proposed project could have a significant effect on the ^
environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed
adequately in an earlier EII2 or Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards
and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Negative
Declaration, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the
proposed project, nothing further is required.
