PUBLIC HEARING:
Conditional Use Permit PCC-94-38: request to establish an
emplovment service and training center in the PC Zone in
Rancho del Rev at 1045 Tierra del Rev - Western Devcon,
propertv owner. for the State of California. Emplovment
Development Department
A. BACKGROUND
1. The State of California, Employment Development Department (EDD), currently
located at 1664 Industrial Boulevard, is applying for a conditional use permit to
relocate its operations to 1045 Tierra del Rey in Rancho Del Rey. The present
facility is inadequate for the current operations and too small to serve their
customers. The new facility, to be built to EDD's specifications by the property
owner, Western Devcon, Inc., will be larger with more training and counter
space for both employers who use EDD to find employees, and for those seeking
employment.
Because of the public/quasi-public nature of this project, the City Council must
approve a conditional use permit to allow EDD's operation at 1045 Tierra del
Rey.
2. The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study (IS-94-23)
regarding the potential environmental impacts of this project and has determined
that an addendum to the previous environmental documents (EIR-87-01 and
Supplemental EIR-92-02) is necessary to provide an adequate environmental
analysis of the project.
B. RECOMMENDATION
1. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the California Environmental Quality Act, consider
the addendum to EIR-87-0l and Supplemental EIR-92-02.
2. Adopt the attached Resolution PCC-94-38 recommending that the City Council
approve PCC-94-38 based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained
in the attached draft City Council Resolution.
C. DISCUSSION
1. Existing Site Characteristics:
The vacant subject site is located on the north side and at the eastern end of Tierra del
Rey near the cul-de-sac. It is graded and leveled, and ready for construction. To the
east, west and south other vacant graded parcels are awaiting development. To the

north, the site overlooks a canyon designated as open space. Two parcels to the east,
SDG&E is developing a site as a substation. The Board of Realtors building is at 880
Canarios Court, about 500 feet to the south of the subject site, while other light industrial
businesses exist in proximity to the EDD site. Further to the west, a bowling alley has
operated for several years, while still further to the west Price Club and Home Depot
recently opened their stores. A new K-Mart is also under construction just west of Price
Club. All these businesses are within Rancho del Rey.

It should be noted that "PC" is a designation on the Zoning Map meaning Planned
Community. In this case, the Rancho Del Rey SPA I Planned Community District
Regulations are applicable (District Regulations). In the District Regulations, EP-IB
indicates that the parcel is in the Employment Park Manufacturing District, and that
"administrative and executive offices; professional offices for lawyers, engineers,
architects; financial offices including banks, real estate and other general business
offices" require a conditional use permit. In addition, "public and quasi-public uses
appropriate to the district, such as professional, business and technical schools of a public
service type, but not including corporation yards, storage or repair yards and
warehouses" also require a conditional use. Based on this information, a conditional use
permit is required.
3. Proposed Use:
The Employment Development Department proposes to relocate their existing operations
from their out -grown facility located at 1664 Industrial Boulevard to 1045 Tierra del Rey
where a 22,865 square foot structure will be constructed. With the move, EDD will be
shifting its emphasis from delivering unemployment checks to arranging training classes
and developing employer/job seeker communications. The unemployment and disability
insurance payments will be made through the mail, rather than by people coming to EDD
to pick-up their checks. Very seldom will anyone come to the new facility to pick up
their unemployment check.

As part of its normal operations, EDD coordinates job listings with prospective
employers and job seekers through matching skills with job descriptions. They also work
with other institutions such as Southwestern College to enhance job training
opportunities. To this end, EDD is the lead agency in California to plan and implement
the school-to-work transition program as part of the Federal Workforce Security Act (see
Attachment "A"). Attachment "B" more fully describes EDD's tasks and what it has
accomplished in past years.
With EDD's relocation, they will be switching to other means of communicating job
openings to job seekers. The preferred method will be by electronic means via
computers. EDD will be electronically linked to various satellite offices throughout the
County whereby a job seeker simply logs onto EDD's network and calls up a listing of
job openings. Coupled with themailingofunemploymentchecks.this will reduce the
number of people actually visiting the new facility except for training and job interviews.
EDD works with several community organizations in order to either provide adequate job
training or job listings. These organizations include Southwestern College, Sweetwater
Union High School District, the MAAC Project, the San Diego Consortium and Private
Industry Council, Job Corps, Comprehensive Training Services, the California
Department of Rehabilitation, and the California Trade and Commerce Agency.
EDD will employ approximately 86 people, many of whom will be located in the satellite
facilities. About 40 full time employees will actually be at the Tierra del Rey facility
with several seasonal, student and youth personnel to assist.
4. Similar Establishments:
City staff, one from the Planning Department and one from the Traffic Division of the
Engineering Department, visited the San Diego Career Center, an establishment similar
to the subject project, located at 8835 Balboa Avenue in San Diego. This facility is in
a comparable neighborhood to Rancho del Rey in that it is light industrial. The Balboa
facility takes up about 24,000 square feet of an approximately 100,000 square foot
building. SDCC employs about 65-70 people. The main drawback at the Balboa facility
is their parking. They must share the site with two other users and their parking is
inadequate. In the case of Tierra del Rey, there is about double the required minimum
amount of parking. The SDCC facility does seem to function adequately, even given its
restrictions.
D. ANALYSIS
The relocation of EDD to the new site has several advantages over the present one:
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of April 27, 1994
Page #4
I. The new facility will be larger. The building currently used by EDD is between
9,000 and 10,000 square feet and the site contains approximately 90 parking
spaces. The new building, as mentioned earlier will be 22,865 square feet and
the site will contain 120 parking spaces. In addition, while the present building
has a 2,000 square foot lobby, the new building will have a 3,000 square foot
lobby, as can be seen on the floor plan.
2. As noted above, there will be 120 parking spaces at the new site. Normally, an
office use would be required to have a minimum of 76 parking spaces (1 space
per 300 square feet of gross floor area). Based on information gathered at the
Industrial Boulevard Site, the current daily parking needs are as follows:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
24 clients/hour + 86 employees = 110 parking spaces
17 clients/hour + 86 employees = 103 parking spaces
15 clients/hour + 86 employees = 101 parking spaces
13 clients/hour + 86 employees = 99 parking spaces
14 clients/hour + 86 employees = 100 parking spaces
The above information is gleaned from the Executive Summary (Attachment
"C"), which was supplied to the Planning Department by EDD as a supplement
to their application. A worse-case-scenario is considered for each day if all
employees come to EDD plus the number of customers per hour based on the
information found on page 3 of the Executive Summary (clients per day/8 hours;
e.g. Monday = 188 clients/8 hours = 24 clients/hour + 86 employees as
indicated in the Executive Summary = 110 parking spaces needed). Given the
fact that Mondays are the busiest day for EDD in that more clients come on
Monday than any other day of the week; the clear statements that the change in
operations at the Tierra del Rey site will reduce the number of clients per day;
the fact that many of the staff will not be in the Tierra del Rey office but at
satellite offices; the fact that there will be 120 parking spaces, in excess of the 90
or so parking spaces currently existing at the Industrial Boulevard site, staff is
convinced that there will be adequate parking.
3. The location in Rancho del Rey allows for easy access by public transit. CVT
route 709 passes along East "H" Street connecting EDD with Southwestern
College to the east and downtown Chula Vista and the "H" Street trolley stop to
the west. Various other bus lines connect to Route 709 as well.
4. By its very nature, EDD, as a land use, is compatible with planned and existing
nearby land uses. As mentioned earlier in this report, several other businesses
operate in proximity to EDD's site and all are compatible with each other. It can
be assumed that when other businesses move to Rancho del Rey, EDD can play
a significant role in placing people in the newly created jobs.

5. The amount of traffic to be generated by EDD is within the assumptions made in
EIR-87-01 and Supplemental EIR-92-02. The Traffic Engineer who viewed the
San Diego Career Center concluded that the amount of traffic would not cause
any problems to future development in Rancho del Rey.

designed to assist those who are out of work or are ill, thus pr0-
viding a 5Irong stabilizer to California's economy. In FY 1992, -=
. Paid out more than $4.6 billion in UI benefits and over $2.7
billion in 01 benefits.
. Received and processed more than 2.7 million new UI claims
and approximately 972,000 DI claims.
Job Training
EDD plays a key role in the administration and operation of a
number of major job training programs in the state. EDD is the
state's administrator of the federal Job Training Partnership Act
(JTP A) in California, which operates through a network of Iocally-
run Service Delivery Areas (5DAs), providing job training and
relaled services under the guidance of Private Industry Councils
(PICs). local EDD administrators are members of the PICs, and
EDD field office managers work closely with local 5DA adminis-
trators to train and place participants in jobs.
Under dislocated worker provisions of )TPA, EDO created a state
dislocated worker un~ called the California Response Team to
react immediately to notification of mass layoffs and plant clo-
sures. This team arranges on.site contact with employers and
employee representatives within a short time period (usually 48
hours) to provide information about, and ensure access to, availa-
ble programs and services for affected workers and employers,
and to ensure local resources and programs are coordinated.
EDD a/so administers the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification (WARN) Act, which requires employers to give 60
days advance notice of plant closures or mass layoffs to affected
employees and to the State Dislocated Worker Unit
Through the State Employment Training Pane! (ETP), we work
with employers to dewlap training programs for their workers,
particularly for those in outdated jobs.
In FY 1992:
. Almost 100,000 people participated in )TPA Title II-A training
programs for economically disadvantased adults and youth;
approximately 23,000 were served through )TPA Title III pro-
grams for dislocated workers; and more than 23,000 were
enrolled in ETP training.
. Over 83,000 young people participated in the )TPA Title 11-8
Summer Youth Employmenl and Training Program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Employment Development Department has been serving the communities of
the South Bay from its current location since December, 1978. We are located at 1664
Industrial Boulevard, in the city of Chula Vista. The South Bay has seen remarkable
growth over the past decade, and plans continue for future development. The need to be
located in a modem, centrally located facility will due much to improve the quality of the
services we provide for all of our customers.
Our Department is working towards being universally recognized for its
outstanding customer service. The public's image of a state agency is not always the best.
We at EDD are committed to making all efforts to improve the quality of our services,
so that we can be considered a model for public agency quality and fairness. While our
current facility is close to public transportation, it does have several drawbacks. The
design of the office was created far before automation became a part of our daily
lives. Computer terminals are now essential at each and every workstation. However, this
facility has been hard pressed to accommodate the ergonomics needed to create a friendly
work environment. Future state-of-the-art methods for processing claims and matching
employers and job seekers are just around the comer. The new technology will allow
our customers more options such as telephone claim filing, and use of personal
computers to list job openings, and review qualified applicant's resumes. We will continue
to provide access to those customers unable to use electronic means.

Our office has piloted many methods of identifying client needs in a more efficient
manner; however, the current setup of our office is very restrictive. One method was by
creating a "Start Here" booth. The only open space available to set it up was at the far
end of the office. To the immediate right are the 9 windows used to file Unemployment
Insurance claims. Even though the "Start Here" booth is to assist all clients, many
clients here for other services attach a significance to applying for Unemployment
benefits due to its location in the office. With a more up-to-date office design we would
be able to direct our traffic flow in a much more efficient manner.
Clients reporting to our office for services can easily find themselves waiting
outside our doors due to the size of our lobby. The lobby is very short and narrow,
creating a very cramped atmosphere. Seating is limited and it's proximity to the
workstations had the potential for creating a very tense working environment. Our lobby
has a current square footage of approximately 2000, plans to expand this by one-third in
a new site will definitely benefit both our employees and our customers.
CLIENT SERVICES
In the past sixteen years, the manner in which EDD provides services to our
customers has drastically changed. We have gone from the old stereotype of " the
Unemployment Office" to a newer model that encompasses a wider umbrella of
services. The Department's mission is to provide a labor exchange that meets the needs of
all Californians. We will be continuing to focus on the employer as our primary
customer. Linking employers to job seekers is our ultimate goal.
3
With the introduction of computer technology in the early 1980's, EDD has
automated nearly all of the services that we provide to the public. Our clients no longer
report weekly to meet with an interviewer and justify their eligibility. Nor do they report
in person to pick up their weekly checks. In the past, the public's perception of EDD was
that of long lines, masses of people waiting, and mounds of complicated paperwork. TIlls
is no longer true.
Technological advances continue to streamline the processes necessary to acquire
services. Filing a claim for Unemployment benefits or registering for Employment
services can for the most part, now be accomplished in a one-time visit to the office.
Payment of Unemployment Benefits are processed by computer and mailed directly to a
client's home address. Work registrations are input directly into the Job Match system.
This system allows statewide access to potential job openings listed with EDD.
Continuous updates in automation will continue to ensure various service options for all
of our customers.
The customer traffic into the office fluctuates on a daily basis. Traditionally, the
highest traffic into the office occurs early in the week. The greatest concentration of
clients make their initial contact with the office on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
Traffic in and out of the office drops off considerably during the latter part of the week.
During a recent week in which tallies were kept, the traffic patterns were as follows:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
188 clients visited office
132 clients visited office
120 clients visited office
103 clients visited office
115 clients visited office
4
The hours that the clients reported to the office also were tabulated, the averages follow:
8am-8:59am 16.4%
9am-9:59am 13.2%
lOam-1O:59am 11.9%
lIam-II:59am 11.9%
12pm-12:59pm 9.7%
1 pm-l :59pm 11.4%
2pm-2:59pm 9.1%
3pm-3:59pm 8.5%
4pm-5pm 7.9%
The processing of Unemployment Insurance claims is one of EDD's most
important responsibilities. The economic stability of the region has much to say about the
number of claims filed. While many individuals are returning to the labor market, many
more are finding it neccessary to file an initial claim for benefits. EDD's role is to
determine eligibility, payor deny benefits promptly, and assist claimants in re-entering the
labor market. During the past month, the number of initial claims filed has shrunk. The
total number of claims filed for each of the last three weeks is as follows:
Week ending 3-26-94
Week ending 4-02-94
Week ending 4-09-94
778 claims filed
702 claims filed
744 claims fIled
5
STAFFING
EDD's greatest asset is our employees. They are motivated, conscientious
professionals, dedicated to providing the highest level of quality services to all their
customers. We currently have a total of 86 employees assigned to the South Bay office.
While this number reflects a large workforce, further explanation is warranted to assure
understanding. Of the total number only 43 are Full-time pennanent employees.
24 are Permanent Intermittent staff, these employees are scheduled to work on an as-
needed basis. Their work schedules fluctuate to meet the needs of our customers. On an
average, they are scheduled to work 5-6 hours daily, 3-4 days per week. On any given
day approximately 10-12 Intermittent staff may be scheduled to work in the office.
Additionally, we have a total of 18 seasonal employees ,all seasonal employees are
limited to working a maximum of 194 days per year. These Seasonal employees include:
7 Seasonal clerks:
Employees hired to assist pennanent clerical staff during
periods of high workload.
9 Student Assistants: College students hired to assist Full-time EE's with providing
customer service. One of the qualifications for a Student
Assistant is that they must be enrolled in college on a Full-
time basis. Their work schedules are adjusted based on class
schedules, this allows them to continue their educational
goals while gaining useful work experience. The Student
Assistants commonly work an average of 10-20 hrs per
week.
2 Youth Aides: High School students hired to gain work experience on a
part-time basis. Our Youth aides currently are assigned to
work approximately 2-3 hours a day, 10-12 days per month.
, .
6
We continually strive to better serve our customers by providing more accessible
services, one method of providing more access to our services has been to create
partnerships with other community agencies that serve some of our same clients. Many
of our staff are currently assigned to perform the majority of their work outside of our
main office. At this time we have the following staff outstationed performing Job Service
functions.
. I staff person assigned full-time at California Department of Corrections
. I staff person assigned full-time at the Student Employment office of
Southwestern College
. I staff person assigned part-time at the San Diego Factory Outlet Center
. 2 staff persons assigned full-time at the Rohr Transition Center
. 6 staff persons assigned full-time at the South County Career Center
. 6 staff persons assigned full-time at the South Bay GAIN offices
As a result of these various outstations, the number of employees that actually
report to the office on a daily basis varies from 36-45 employees. The hours that these
staff routinely report to work begins as early as 7:30am ending as late as lO:00am, with
the majority of employees beginning work between 8:00 and 9:00am. Hours for
departure are consistent with the hours staff began work. The earliest staff begin to leave
is 2:00pm with the last of professional staff leaving the office by 6:00pm. Janitorial
support is supplied by 2 full-time staff that work evening hours between 3:00-11:00pm.
The majority of staff are scheduled to be at work during our peak hours of operation
which tend to be 8:30am to 3:30pm.

Supplement to EDD Report
of April 13, 1994
The relocation of the South Bay EDD office to the Rancho Del Rey Business Park
is vital to EDD's plan of bringing the services to the public rather than the public to the
service. It is essential that the proposed site for our new facility be one with the ability to
meet the many demands of California's economic development. The site selected for lease
is in a centrally located, rapidly expanding area of Chula Vista. The movement of our
office to this site will help us to support employers, our primary customer group. We will
be focusing our efforts on job creation and retention. To accomplish this goal a modem
facility is needed.
As our workload distribution changes, our focus will become more directed
towards developing alternative methods for our customers to access our services. EDD
has recognized the need to create and implement various changes that will facilitate a
better distribution of our traffic. Systems have been set in place that will allow for better
control of our traffic. In order to have these systems fully operational in our new facility,
we will be working towards implementing them while still housed in our present facility.
EDD Business Plans for the next two fiscal years includes many innovative
techniques. The services to job seekers will continue to expand to a more automated seIf-
help system. We will continue to provide in-person services in our office and at partner
locations for those clients needing personal assistance. Staff will be assigned to provide
those services to our customers in the method that is most convenient for everyone
involved.
Employment Development Department
D~ 8000 RfV 2 i2-fP
We have implemented an appointment system, and have had some success. The
use of an appointment system has many benefits for both our customers and the office. It
allows for the workload to be distributed throughout the workday, thereby allowing more
flexibility in the hours employees are scheduled to work. It has allowed us to better
coordinate the times staff are scheduled to report to work. However, some parts of the
state have been able to implement telephone appointment scheduling. This allows
customers to contact the office at their convenience, schedule an appointment and
conduct their business with EDD in a fast, efficient manner. Unfortunately ,our present
telephone system does not have the either the capacity or features needed to schedule
appointments by phone. It is anticipated that in our new facility a state-of-the-art
telephone system will be utilized to schedule various appointments by telephone.
To reduce client traffic in and out of the office, EDD is implementing an
automated call processing system. This system is already in place in another part of the
state, and has been very successfuL Customers will be able to make a single phone call
and access a variety of recorded messages that provide information about EDD services,
as well as services provided by other agencies. This system will do much to eliminate the
daily traffic that is seeking information only.
In January 1994 a Telephone Claim Filing office was opened in Richmond,
California. This project allows for the residents of seven Northern California towns to
file their Unemployment Insurance claims by telephone. This prevents clients from
having to travel long distances to apply for benefits. In addition, if more information is
needed to complete the processing , clients are notified by mail and offered options on
methods of resolving the issue. Based on the success of this pilot project, it will be
implemented statewide by end of 1995. This in another way that the daily traffic in the
office will be reduced.
The EDD has always offerred many flexible work schedules for it's employees.
We encourage carpooling and provide incentives for the use of public transportation.
When we are able to fully utilize the above programs in our new facility, our employees
will work outside of the peak commuting hours for the surrounding community.
EDD's New Directions encourages the use of automation and technological
advances to keep pace with an ever-changing workplace. With the options explained
above, EDD will be able to operate an efficient, modem office that will serve the South
Bay well into the future. It will blend well with the business environment of the Rancho
Del Rey Business Park and its impact on the surrounding community will be minimal.
The services we provide will be a benefit to the entire South County.
If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesistate to contact me.
Sincerely,

SECOND ADDENDUM TO FEIR-87-l Rancho del Rey SPA I
Employment Development Department
PROJECT NAME: Employment Development Department
PROJECT LOCATION: 1045 Tierra Del Rey
PROJECT APPLICANT: Western Devcon, Inc.
9655 Granite Ridge Drive #240
PROJECT AGENT: Mile Ibe
CASE NO.: IS-94-22
I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the
Environmental Review Coordinator (ERe) to prepare an addendum to a Negative
Declaration or Environmental Impact Report, if one of the following conditions is
present:
I. The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion
of the Final EIR or Negative Declaration have not created any new significant
environmental impacts not previously addressed in the Final EIR or Negative
Declaration;
2. Additional or refined information available since completion of the Final EIR
or Negative Declaration regarding the potential environmental impact of the
project, or regarding the measures or alternatives available to mitigate potential
environmental effects of the project, does not show that the project will have
one or more significant impacts which were not previously addressed in the
Final EIR or Negative Declaration.
As specific land uses are proposed for a 3.05 acre parcel on the north side and at the
eastern end of Tierra del Rey in the Rancho del Rey Commercial Center, Initial Study
IS-94-22 was prepared to determine if there would be any additional environmental
impacts to those reviewed in FEIR-87-01 Rancho del Rey SPA I and the First
Addendum to FEIR-87-1. Supplemental EIR-92-02 Rancho del Rey Commercial Center
was also reviewed. The Initial Study prepared for this project, IS-94-22, determined
that the proposed project was adequately analyzed in FEIR-87-01 and the First
Addendum. This Second Addendum has been prepared in order to provide information
-1-
and analysis concerning traffic and public service impacts in accordance with Section
15164 of the CEQA Guidelines.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project that was reviewed in the First Addendum to FEIR-87-l Rancho Del Rey
SPA I evaluated the adequacy of the EIR for the revised Rancho del Rey SPA I plan.
The FEIR for Rancho del Rey SPA I was for the construction of 982 single-family
units, 1219 multi-family units, an employment park (84.5 acres), community facilities,
neighborhood and community parks, a school site, open space and a circulation system
on 808.6 acres bounded on the north and east by Otay Lakes Road, East "H" Street to
the south, and Paseo Ranchero to the west. The Addendum addressed the relocation
of the school site and additional residential units. Supplemental FEIR-92-02 Rancho
del Rey Commercial Center addressed impacts of the conversion of 55 acres of the
approved Rancho del Rey Business Center from Employment Park to a mixed-use
commercial center. The commercial center project proposed the development of three
anchor stores west of Tierra del Rey.
The proposed project consists of the construction of a 17 foot high, 22,865 square foot
single story tilt-up building built for lease to the State of California Tenant Employment
Development Department on a 3.05 acre previously graded site on the north side and
at the eastern end of Tierra del Rey near the cul-de-sac. One hundred twenty parking
spaces are included on the site plan.
The Employment Development Department proposes to relocate their existing
operations from their facility at 1664 Industrial Boulevard. With the move, EDD will
be shifting its emphasis from delivering unemployment checks to arranging training
classes and developing employer/job seeker communications. Hours of operation are
from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and 86 persons will be employed in the department with
some located in satellite offices, consisting of 7 seasonal clerks, 9 student assistants, 2
youth aides and staff that perform job service functions outside of the office, in the
Department of Corrections, the Student Employment Office of Southwestern College,
San Diego Factory Outlet Center, Rohr Transition Center, South County Career Center
and GAIN offices. One hundred twenty parking spaces are provided.
III. PROJECT SETTING
The project site presently consists of a graded 3.05 acre site in the eastern section of
the Rancho Del Rey SPA I Business Park north of H Street between Del Rey Blvd. to
the west and Paseo Ranchero to the east. Surrounding land uses include: Rice Canyon
(open space) and a graded area to the north where residential units are being built
(within Rancho Del Rey). Two parcels to the east S.D.G. and E. is developing a site as
-2-
a substation. The Board of Realtors building is at 880 Canarios Court, about 500 feet
to the south of the subject site, while other light industrial businesses exist in proximity
to the EDD site. Further to the west, a bowling alley has operated for several years,
while still further to the west Price Club and Home Depot recently opened their stores.
A new K-Mart is also under construction just west of Price Club. All these businesses
are within Rancho del Rey. Open Space and single-family residential land uses are in
place south of East H Street.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Traffic Impacts
Traffic analysis for the proposed project was undertaken previously in Rancho Del Rey
SPA EIR-87-1 and the First Addendum. The Traffic Engineering Division reviewed the
Employment Development Department project to insure that the assumptions and
analysis included in the above cited documents are adequate to cover this projects's
proposed traffic generation. The project is expected to generate 460 new average daily
trips. The assumptions from the Final EIR-87-1 and the First Addendum were for 200
trips per acre for business and industrial uses in the employment park. For this 3.05
acre project the trip generation analyzed was 600 trips. As the project generation is
much less than that projected in FEIR-87-1, there are no new impacts and no new
mitigation measures required.
Public Service Impacts
Soils
A Soils Report as recommended in Section 5.3 "Foundation and Slab
Recommendations" of the As-graded Geotechnical Report dated January 12, 1989 is
required. The soils report shall be submitted prior to the issuance of grading and or
construction permits.
Fire
The Fire Department Threshold will be met as the nearest fire department is 6 minutes
away and the estimated reaction time is 6 minutes. The required fire flow is Type VN -
4000 gpm and Type UIN - 3250 gpm. Fire hydrants will be required at 300 foot
intervals. Based on inaccessibility to all portions of the building, a fire sprinkler system
may be required. The plans must be conform to all requirements of the Chula Vista
Fire Department.

Drainage
The pad area drainage consists of the surface flow to a desilting basin at the southeast
portion of the parcel. Runoff to the desilting basin is discharged through private twelve
inch PVC to public drainage facilities. The north slopes of the project drain downslope
to the canyon invert. A 30-inch RCP pipe is located downstream in Tierra Del Rey.
This off-site drainage facility is adequate for the project. A general permit for
stormwater discharges associated with construction activity is required because the
proposed project is part of a larger common plan of development (Rancho del Rey) that
disturbs five or more acres of soil.
V. CONCLUSION
Traffic impacts and public service impacts are found to be less than significant.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above
discussion, I hereby find that the project revisions of the proposed project will result
in only minor technical changes or additions and have not created any new
environmental impacts. The proposed project was adequately analyzed in FEIR-87-01
and the First and Second Addendum.
