c. Adopt a resolution adopting the "Bonita Gateway Specific Plan" in
accordance with Exhibit "C" attached hereto.
C. DISCUSSrON
1. Existing Site Characteristics
The project site consists of two irregularly shaped vacant parcels totaling 2.23
acres of land bounded by Bonita Road to the south, 1-805 to the west and Plaza
Bonita Road to the north and east. Easements across the easterly parcel provide
the westerly parcel with access from Plaza Bonita Road and facilitate access from
Bonita Road. The unusual configuration and inconsistent zoning of the properties
is a result of property acquisition for the Sweetwater Regional Park and the
subsequent realignment of Plaza Bonita Road to accommodate the 1-805
interchange. The entire area is subject to inundation from loo-year storms
according to the latest flood maps. Initial engineering studies indicate that fill up
to 3' in height will be required.
2. Adiacent General Plan Desie:nation. Zoning and Land Use
The project site has been designated for "Visitor Commercial" since the adoption
of the City's first comprehensive General Plan in 1964. The General Plan also
designates this area as a "Gateway" to the Bonita Community. The westerly
parcel is zoned C-V-P (Visitor Commercial subject to a precise plan) and the
easterly parcel is zoned A-8 (Agricultural 8 acres minimum). The adjacent
General Plan designations, zoning and land uses are as follows:
East:

3. Prior Development and Rezoning Pro..posals
Two prior development proposals were approved but never constructed on the
westerly parcel; one for a sit-down restaurant, and one for a drive-thru restaurant.
A later proposal to develop a self-serve gas station on the westerly parcel was
denied by the Planning Commission. Finally, a proposal by the County of San
Diego to rezone the easterly parcel from A-8 to C-V-P was denied by the
Commission, and the parcel was subsequently sold by the County.
The development of these properties and the implementation of the approved
projects has been hampered by the severe traffic and circulation problems in the
area. A traffic study was undertaken by the City in conjunction with the County,
National City and CalTrans in order to address these and other traffic concerns
in the Sweetwater Valley. The study recommended a loop interchange as the
preferred alternative to solve the problems in and around the I-805/Bonita Road
interchange. However, this solution was considered infeasible due to a lack of
funding.
4. General Plan
Another factor which has hampered development is the visitor commercial
designationlzoning, which provides for a very limited list of land uses which are
further constrained based on the size, configuration, easements, and access to the
two parcels. The two parcels may have to be consolidated or a joint partnership
created in order to accommodate a hotel/motel or sit-down restaurant. Failing
this, there may again be pressure to develop a drive-thru restaurant, service
station or other uses not believed to be consistent with either the traffic
constraints in the area or with the site's location at the gateway to the Bonita
Community.
It is staffs view that it is appropriate to redesignate the site to "Retail
Commercial" to accommodate land uses which are more consistent with the site
constraints, and which will foster appropriate development. This designation
would also authorize land uses which are more in keeping with the "gateway"
status of the site.
5. Zoning
An appropriate zoning classification to implement the General Plan "Retail
Commercial" designation is the C-C (Central Commercial) zone. While this zone
is primarily structured for the development of shopping centers, it has also been
applied in other circumstances, such as along sections of Third Avenue and other
~ -~
City Planning Commission

Page 4
areas where heavy commercial uses were considered inappropriate. However,
there are certain land uses permitted in the C-C zone, as well as other standards
such as height, setbacks, and signs, which are not particularly suited for this site.
The attachment of the precise plan modifying district could address some of the
concerns regarding development standards, but cannot be used to limit land uses.
6. Specific Plan
An alternative to the precise plan which would address not only the land use issue
and development standards, but also issues regarding the coordination of
development between the two parcels, is the adoption of a specific plan. The
specific plan would allow the City to establish land uses most appropriate for the
property and to establish development guidelines and standards which are
sensitive to the area and take into consideration lot configuration, access and its
proximity to a "gateway" into the Bonita Community. The proposed specific plan
(Exhibit "C") allows the two primary visitor commercial uses, hotels and
restaurants, but prohibits certain land uses such as automotive repair, gas stations,
drive thru restaurants, and other land uses which are allowed in the C-C zone but
which are considered inappropriate for this site.
The primary distinction between the development standards in the specific plan
versus those in the C-C zone is a reduction in the setback from 25 ft. to 15 ft. for
single-story structures adjacent to Bonita Road. This has been proposed in
recognition of the irregular shape of the parcels, coupled with the desire to
coordinate access and eventually parking between the two parcels. Also, the City
has required an extraordinary 18 ft. dedication on Bonita Road in order to create
an exclusive right turn lane onto the I-80S on-ramp. The specific plan also
establishes an overall height limit of 30 ft., whereas the C-C zone has no limit
on height.
With respect to signs, the C-C zone allows freestanding pole or monument signs
up to a maximum of 150 sq. ft. and 50 sq. ft., respectively, primary wall signs
up to three (3) sq. ft. of sign area per lineal ft. of building frontage, and
secondary wall signs up to two (2) sq. ft. of sign area per lineal ft. of building
frontage. The specific plan would allow only monument signs up to a maximum
of 40 sq. ft., primary wall signs up to one (1) sq. ft. of sign area per lineal ft.
of building frontage, and secondary wall signs up to 0.5 sq. ft. of sign area per
lineal ft. of building frontage.

7. Comments from Public Works
The Public Works Department has reported that the following list of items will
be required under the authority of the Chula Vista Municipal Code in conjunction
with any building permits issued for the parcels:
a. A separate construction permit for work performed in the public right-of-
way
b. Sewer, traffic signal and development impact fees
c. Public improvements include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. driveway approaches
b. curb, gutter, and sidewalk (5.0')
c. pavement widening to 58' half width on Bonita Road
d. a street light, 50' west of driveway on Bonita Road
e. a 4' raised median along the frontage on Bonita Road
d. An improvement plan
e. A grading permit
f. Underground utilities on site
g. Dedication to provide 68' half right-of-way on Bonita Road
h. Perhaps additional dedication and improvements on Plaza Bonita Road, to
be determined in conjunction with County at time of development.
C. CONCLUSION
The property is located adjacent to the freeway on a heavily travelled road, yet it has not
been developed in the manner as designated by the General Plan even though this
designation has been in effect since 1964. Therefore, it would be good planning practice
to consider some alternative land uses for the site which would encourage appropriate
development. The redesignation of the site for retail commercial use, rezoning to C-C
and the adoption of a specific plan to supplement the underlying zoning and specify a
custom list of allowable uses and development standards which would address the
constraints and coordination issues, should help foster appropriate development of the
property.

The applicant has prepared plans for the development of a retail structure on the westerly
parcel (please see attached). The plans are in conformance with the development
standards of the proposed specific plan, and were approved by the Design Review
Committee subject to favorable action by the City on the General Plan amendment,
rezoning and specific plan applications. The plans were also presented to and supported
by the Sweetwater Community Planning group.
A copy of the draft specific plan was forwarded to the owner of the easterly parcel, Mr.
Jaime Bonilla, for comment. Mr. Bonilla and his representative, Mr. Mateo Camarillo,
were also invited to meet with the city staff and the applicant to discuss the plan in
detail. Mr. Camarillo reported that although they had some concerns with the land use
limitations and other aspects of the plan, they would not object to anything agreed to
between the City and the applicant.
D. FINDINGS
I. The amendment of the Chula Vista General Plan from Visitor Commercial to
Retail Commercial is found to be in the public interest, and the Bonita Gateway
Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan Amendment.
2. The proposed rezoning from C-V-P and A-8 to C-C is consistent with the City
of Chula Vista General Plan as amended, and public necessity, convenience, the
general welfare, and good zoning practice support the rezoning.

BONITA GATEWAY SPECIFIC PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Background
The Bonita Gateway Specific Plan encompasses two vacant parcels totaling 2.23 acres
located at the northeasterly quadrant of the intersection of Bonita Road and the Interstate
805 freeway. The territory is designated "Visitor Commercial" and a "Gateway" under
the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The westerly 0.83 acre parcel is zoned C-V-P
(Visitor Commercial subject to a precise plan) and the easterly 1.40 acre parcel is zoned
A-8 (Agricultural 8 acres minimum) which is being used as a holding zone.
B. Puq>ose of the Specific Plan
The purpose of the specific plan is to allow the properties to be developed with retail
commercial uses on a limited scale in recognition of the various constraints on the site
and in keeping with its prominent location at the gateway to the Bonita Community.
The adoption of this specific plan must be preceded by an amendment to the Land Use
Diagram of the General Plan designating the site "Retail Commercial" and the rezoning
of both parcels to C-C (Central Commercial). While the General Plan redesignation of
the site and rezoning would probably constitute sound urban planning practice, the
relatively small size of the site, its irregular configuration, its limited access and its
location on a "gateway" into the Bonita Community suggest that a specific plan for the
site is appropriate. The specific plan process is designed to promote higher levels of land
use innovation and design flexibility than the City's conventional zoning regulations by
tailoring the proposed land uses to the site and establishing height and bulk standards
sensitive to its location, size and configuration.
C. Government Code
The specific plan alternative to zoning is authorized under Title 7 of the California
Government Code, Chapter 3, Article 8 and Chapter 19.07 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code.

Specific Plan:
a. The establishment of standards and regulations for the development of
2.23 acres of land generally bounded by Bonita Road, Plaza Bonita Road
and Interstate 805;
b. The encouragement of the development of a coordinated commercial
project based upon special standards and regulations;
c. The encouragement of higher levels of design freedom and land use
planning innovation than those which could be achieved through
conventional zoning provisions in recognition of its location as a gateway
into the Bonita Community;
d. The establishment of administrative procedures for processing
development projects, sign programs and special use applications and
modifications thereto;
e. The establishment of procedures for the amendment of the Bonita Gateway
Specific Plan.
3. General Description of the Specific Plan

properties.
A sign program shall be submitted for approval by the Design Review Committee
which promotes the continuity between the two parcels. The signage shall be
integrated into the building design wherever possible. The signage for each parcel
need not be identical to the other, but should take into account the design of any
existing or proposed sign program in an effort to be harmonious and compatible.

such items shall be placed in vaults or screened from view.
3) On-site outdoor lighting standards shall be designed to minimize
direct lighting and glare on adjacent residential and open space
areas .
b. Architectural Guidelines
1) The first development within the specific plan area will influence
the architectural character for the other parcel. However, the two
developments need not be, nor are they encouraged to be identical
in architecture or theme. The two developments shall be
harmonious with each other, as well as existing development
adjacent to the site, through the scale and massing of the buildings,
use of compatible colors, materials, and landscape elements.
2) All buildings facades and rooflines of each individual building
within the specific plan area, shall be equally addressed by
employing an architectural treatment/design which will consistently
utilize design features, colors and materials on all building
elevations so as to achieve a unified appearance and high quality
architectural image from the public right-of-way and on-site
parking areas.
3) Rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from all
directions. Said screening shall be architecturally compatible with
the building and shall be included with the project plans submitted

DRAFT EXHmIT "C"
October 1, 1992
BONITA GA TEW A Y SPECIFIC PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Back~round
The Bonita Gateway Specific Plan encompasses two vacant parcels totaling 2.23 acres
located at the northeasterly quadrant of the intersection of Bonita Road and the Interstate
805 freeway. The territory is designated "Visitor Commercial" and a "Gateway" under
the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The westerly 0.83 acre parcel is zoned C-V-P
(Visitor Commercial subject to a precise plan) and the easterly 1.40 acre parcel is zoned
A-8 (Agricultural 8 acres minimum) which is being used as a holding zone.
B. PUIJ>Ose of the Specific Plan
The purpose of the specific plan is to allow the properties to be developed with retail
commercial uses on a limited scale in recognition of the various constraints on the site
and in keeping with its prominent location at the gateway to the Bonita Community.
The adoption of this specific plan must be preceded by an amendment to the Land Use
Diagram of the General Plan designating the site "Retail Commercial" and the rezoning
of both parcels to C-C (Central Commercial). While the General Plan redesignation of
the site and rezoning would probably constitute sound urban planning practice, the
relatively small size of the site, its irregular configuration, its limited access and its
location on a "gateway" into the Bonita Community suggest that a specific plan for the
site is appropriate. The specific plan process is designed to promote higher levels of land
use innovation and design flexibility than the City's conventional zoning regulations by
tailoring the proposed land uses to the site and establishing height and bulk standards
sensitive to its location, size and configuration.
C. Government Code
The specific plan alternative to zoning is authorized under Title 7 of the California
Government Code, Chapter 3, Article 8 and Chapter 19.07 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code.

planning innovation than those which could be achieved through
conventional zoning provisions in recognition of its location as a gateway
into the Bonita Community;

C. Comeatibilitv with Zonina and Plans
A General Plan Amendment and re-zone are required in conjunction with the
processing of this project. If enacted, the two sites that make up the
northwest corner of the intersection of Plaza Bonita Road and Bonita Road
would be designated for "Retail CORlDercial". The proposed project is
located on the westerly portion of the general plan amendment/rezone
area. The project as proposed will be consistent with the land use
designations as amended.
D. Comeliance with the Threshold/Standards Policv
1. Fire/EMS
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that fire and lledical units
must be able to respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in B5% of
the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75% of the cases. The City
of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold standard will be
met, since the nearest fi re stat i on is 1. 5 mil es away and woul d be
associated with a 4 minute response time. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Policy.
2. Police
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that police units must
respond to 84% of Priority 1 call s within 7 minutes or less and
maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of 4.5
minutes or less. Pol ice units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2
calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time
to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The Police Department
has indicated that it can provide an acceptable level of service.
3. Traffi c
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must
operate at a Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception
that Level of Service (LOS) "0" may occur during the peak two hours
of the day at signal ized intersections. Intersections west of I-80S
are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection
may reach LOS "E" or "F" during the average weekd~y peak hour.
Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this
policy. The proposed project is located at the intersection of an
arterial and a freeway on-ramp, therefore, it is exempted from
compliance with this Threshold Policy.
The proposed project is forecasted to generate 706 average daily
trips (ADT). This increase in ADT will not cause a significant
change in the level of service (LOS) for Bonita Road or Plaza Bonita
Road, which both currently operate at level of service LOS "E". The
project shall comply wi th Chula Vista Engi neeri ng Department
requirements regarding dedication of right-of-way for future road
widening along Bonita Road.
'-'II
-3-
4. Parks/Recreation
The Threshold/Standards Pol icy for Parks and Recreation is 3
acres/l,OOO population. The proposed project is not required to
comply with this Threshold Policy which applies only to residential
development.
S. Drainage
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that storm water flows and
volumes not exceed City Engineer Standards. Individual projects will
provide necessary improvements consistent with the Drainage Master
Plan (s) and Ci ty Engi neeri ng Standards. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Policy, with compliance to the standards
set forth in the Engineering Department Floodplain Ordinance.
6. Sewer
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that sewage flows and volumes
shall not exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects
will provide necessary improvements consistent with Sewer Master
Plan (s) and City Eng i neeri ng Standards. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Policy. This site is served by two 18"
Vitrified Clay Pipes (VCP). These facilities are adequate to serve
the proposed project.
7. Water
The Threshold/Standards Pol icy requires that adequate storage,
treatment, and transmission facilities are constructed concurrently
with planned growth and that water quality standards are not
jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project
will comply with this Threshold Policy, the applicant will be
required to enter into an agreement for water facil ity improvements
with the Sweetwater Authority.
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista determined that the
proposed project coul d have one or more s igni fi cant 'envi ronmenta 1
effects. Subsequent revisions in the project design have implemented
specific lIIitigation measures to reduce these effects to a level of less
than significant.
The project, as revised, now avoids or mitigates the potentially
significant environmental effects previously identified, and the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be required. A
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with
Section IS070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Specific mitigation llleasures
have also been set forth in the Mit igat i on Moni tori ng Program whi ch is
attached as Addendum "A".
G_ 'f~

The foll owi ng impacts have been determi ned to be potent i ally s igni fi cant
and are required to be mitigated to a level of less than significant. A
discussion of each of these potentially significant impacts from the
proposed project follows.
Potentiallv Sianificant Imoacts
1. Water Imoacts
Water usage for a retail-col11llercial development of this size would
not pose a significant impact on water supply. The Sweetwater
Authority provides water service to this site and may require water
line improvements as a condition of approval for this project.
2. Vi sua 1 Imoacts
Bonita Road from 1-805 to the proposed SR-I25 is a Chula Vista
Genera 1 Pl an des i gnated Sceni c Highway. New construct i on wi thi n the
Bon i ta Road corridor shoul d refl ect the exi st i ng rural atmosphere,
maintain views and emphasize the use of landscaping which
incorporates plant materials and forms as established in the
surrounding area.
3. Land Use Imoacts
The current zoning and general plan designation for this site call
for visitor-serving-commercial development. The location and size of
the two parcels involved in the proposed rezone and general plan
amendment woul d constra i n development potent i a 1 for uses conformi ng
to the exi st i ng land use des i gnat ions. The proposed project woul d
conform to the proposed retail-commercial designation.
3. Hvdroloav/Drainaae Imoacts
The project site falls within the FEMA IOO-year flood plain for the
Sweetwater Ri ver. It is adjacent to two natural drainage courses
which support live discharge during the rainy season. The FEMA
floodway boundary map indicates flooding in this area during a
100-year frequency storm. The Chula Vista Engineering Department has
indicated that present site drainage is surface flow to the
reinforced concrete box (RCB) culvert under Plaza Bonita Road which
ultimately discharges to the Sweetwater River. As a result, the
project site will be required to comply with Engineering Department
requirements for construction within the floodplain, as discussed in
Section F.
6 - '13
-5-
less than SiQnificant Imoacts
1. BioloQV Imoacts
Pacific Southwest Biological Services conducted a wetlands
delineation survey on April 28, 1992. The survey found that no
significant vegetation nor wetland habitats occur on the site. The
drainage channel (a tributary to the Sweetwater River) which supports
four species of Willow occurs 15-20 feet to the west of the site and
is separated by a chain link fence. Vegetation on the site consists
primarily of non-native grassland species frequently associated with
disturbed upland fields.
2. Traffic Imoacts
The intersection serving this project currently operates at level of
Service "E". It is exempt from the level of Service "C" threshold
standard because of its proximity to the Interstate-80S on and
off -ramps. Thi s project is projected to generate 706 average da ily
trips (ADT). The number of trips would not significantly impact the
level of service on the roadways impacted by this project.
F. MitiQation necessarv to avoid siQnificant effects
Specific project mitigation measures and project redesign have been
required to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts
identified in the initial study for this project to a level of less than
significant.
Mi t igat i on measures have been incorporated into the project des i gn and
have been made conditions of project approval, as well as requirements of
the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program (Addendum "A").
I. Water MitiQation
Due to recent drought conditions, as a condition of project approval,
the appl icant must agree to no net increase in water consumption or
participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the
City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building permit
issuance. The appl icant shall construct or pay appropriate fees for
the construction of improvements to water 1 ine as required by the
Sweetwater Authority.
2. Visual Mitiaation
This project is subject to Design Review and landscape Architect
review. Compliance with all requirements of the Design Review
Committee and the City landscape Architect will bring this project
into conformity with the Scenic Highways section of the General Plan,
as it pertains to the Bonita Road Scenic Corridor. With compl iance
to these requirements, potentially significant visual impacts will be
reduced to a level below significance.
" - "I"
-6-
3. land Use Mitiaation
The proposed land use will require changes in General Plan and zoning
des i gnat ions. Wi th conformance to the regul at ions of the new 1 and
use designations and to conditions of project approval, impacts of
the proposed project on land use would be reduced to a level of less
than significant.
4. Hvdroloav/Drainaae Mitiaation
The project shall comply with the City's adopted Floodplain Ordinance
administered through the Chula Vista Engineering Department
regulating building pad elevation within a lOO-year floodplain. With
compliance to the standards set forth in that ordinance, po~entially
significant hydrology/drainage impacts will be reduced to below a
level of significance.
5. Geoloav/Soils Mitiaation
The project shall adhere to regulations set forth in the City's
Grading Ordinance and any mitigation measures in the soils report
required prior to issuance of building permits.
Comp 1 i ance with all mit i gat i on measures wi 11 be ensured through the
Mitigation Monitoring Program as set forth in Addendum A.
G. Findinas of Insianificant ImDact
Based on the following findings, it is determined that the project
described above will not have a significant environmental impact and no
environmental impact report needs to be prepared.
1. The project has the potential to substantially degrade the quality of
the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or
wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal
conrnunity, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the
.ajor periods of California history or prehistory.
.
As noted in Section E "Identification of Environmental Effects" the
proposed project will be subject to mitigation measures. With
compliance to the mitigation measures, as ensured through the
Mitigation Monitoring Program administered concurrent with the
project, the potentially significant environmental impacts will be
reduced to a level of less than significant.
"-I{~
-7-
2. The project has the potential to achieve short-tel"ll envirollllenhl
goals to the disadvantage of long-tel"ll environmental goals.
With compl iance to the conditions of approval for the General Plan
Amendment (GPA) and Rezone, the project would be consistent with the
uses designated therein. The project would not achieve short-term
goals to the disadvantage of long-term goals since long-term goals
would be served through this change in land use designation.
3. The project has possible effects which are individually li.ited but
cumulatively considerable. As used in the subsection, .cumulatively
considerable. lII!ans that the incrl!lllenhl effects of an individual
project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects
of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the
effects of probable future projects. .
The proposed construction of approximately 9,000 square feet of
retail-commercial space would not result in significant adverse
environmental effects which are cumulative in nature, provided all
conditions of approval in the GPA and Rezone as well as mitigation
measures regarding scenic highways set forth in this initial study
are implemented.
4. The environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse
effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
The envi ronmenta 1 effects of the project wi 11 not cause substant i a 1
adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly with
compliance to the City Floodplain Ordinance. Any potential hazards
to human health result i ng from exposure to potent i a 1 flood hazards
would be reduced to level of less than significant.

Dear Mr. Reid:
This is to advise you that the project, located at 1-805 &
Bonita Road, is within the Chula vista Elementary School
District which serves children from Kindergarten through
Grade 6.
District enrollment has been increasing at the rate of 4-5
percent over the past several years, and this is projected
to continue. Permanent capacity has been exceeded at many
schools and temporary relocatable classrooms are being
utilized to accommodate increased enrollments. The District
also buses students outside their attendance areas, both to
accommodate growth and assist in achieving ethnic balance.
The relationship between non-residential development and
student enrollment has been clearly documented in studies
done throughout the State. Since additional employment is
linked to new homes, students associated with
non-residential growth represent a subset of those from
residential development. A portion of the facilities needs
associated with new employment activity is, therefore,
funded through residential fees. However, given that
residential fees produce only about twenty-five percent of
the required facility funding, there is a significant
shortfall. State law currently provides for a developer fee
of $ .26 for non-residential area to be charged (Chula Vista
Elementary School District - $ .12/square foot; Sweetwater
Union High School District - $ .14/square foot) to assist in
financing facilities needed to serve growth.
( _.,'if

Mr. Doug Reid

RE: IS-92-35/10,084 Sq. Ft. Free-Standing Building
Bonita Retail
Given the current funding shortfall, the District encourages
developer participation in an alternative financing
mechanism to help assure that facilities will be available
to serve children generated by new construction. We are
currently utilizing Community Facilities Districts (CFD's)
as one method to help fund this deficit. Participation in a
CFD is in lieu of developer fees.
The subject project is located in the Valley Vista School
attendance area. This school is presently over capacity,
and a developer fee as described above is required to help
mitigate school impacts. To fully mitigate impacts this
project will have on elementary facilities, the project
proponent is encouraged and has the option to request
annexation to CFD No. 5 in lieu of fees. Should this option
be chosen, the District must be notified as soon as possible
so annexation proceedings can commence.
If you have any questions, please contact this office.

Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the subject Initial Study for the referenced project within the Sweetwater
Authority seNice area. There is a 36-inch W.S. water main in Bonita Road adjacent to the proposed
development. Our records indicate there are no seNices to the proposed development. Also, there
is a 20' easement (No. 3-SW-48) which is located in the northern half of the parcel. Enclosed is a copy
of 1/4 SEC. 98 map which shows these facilities.
At this time, we cannot comment on the adequacy of the existing system to provide domestic service
and/or fire protection. As plans develop for structures, the Owner must submit a letter to the Authority
from the appropriate fire agency stating fire flow requirements. Based on this requirement, this project
may resu1t in a need for new water systems or substantial alteration to the existing water system.
If the Owner provides the required fire flow information and enters into an agreement for water facility
improvements with the Authority, water service can be obtained at a pressure range from a maximum
of 95 p.s.i. to a minimum of 70 p.s.i.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Tom Justo at 420-1413.

The following discussion is associated with the Initial Study Checklist Form.
1. .Eitl.h
The project site is currently vacant with an average natural slope of
28% and a minimum natural slope of 55%. The plot plan indicated the
appl icant's proposal is to cut 740 cubic yards of dirt and to export
the same. The slope after cutting will be a 2% slope.
The leveling of this site will be partially mitigated by the proposal
to set the home back into the existing slope, creating the potential
for eros i on. However, wi th the i nc 1 us i on of the proposed reta in i ng
wall in the rear of the property the erosion problem would be
mitigated. The landscape architect is requiring a 2:1 slope in the
rear of the property and grading plans showing the same are required
prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
2. Air
Substantial deterioration of air quality from grading and construction
would not occur. The project emissions would mostly consist of dust
from grading activities. Dust would have to be mitigated by
implementing standard dust control methods such as watering the soil
during grading operations.
3. Water
The existing off-site drainage facil ities are adequate to serve the
project.
4/5. Plant-Animal life
The site is covered with grassland vegetation and a California pepper
tree exists on the site. No significant biological resources exist
on the site.
6. Noise
Grading operations will involve noise and standard limits on
activities would be imposed (grading allowed weekdays 7:00 a.m. to
7:00 p.m.)
7. liQht and Glare
The proposed project would not create additional light and glare.
8. land Use
As the land is vacant currently and will be developed if this project
is approved there wi 11 be a substant i a 1 change from the present 1 and
use. However as the City' s general plan des i gnates development of
this land for duplexes it is consistent with the plan and does not
constitute a significant land use impact.

20. Cultural Resources
Even though the site is within a developed area, the actual site is
vacant. There is no indication that cultural resources exist on the
site.
21. Mandatorv Findinas of Sianificance
a. No impacts to biological or cultural resources would occur due to
the proposed construction.
b. No long-term goals for the site would be disadvantaged by the
project.
c. The project does not have the potential to produce cumulatively
considerable effects.
d. With implementation of standard health and safety grading
requi rements. No di red or i ndi rect adverse effects on humans
would occur.
