PUBLIC HEARING: GPA-94-04/PCZ-94-C: Consideration of an amendment to the General Plan and rezoning for 31.63 acres located south of State Route 54 (SR54). between Broadwav (National Citv Boulevard) and Fifth Avenue - National Avenue Associates A. BACKGROUND National Avenue Associates have requested an amendment to the Chula Vista General Plan and rezoning for 31.63 acres located south of the SR54 freeway, between Broadway (National City Boulevard) and Fifth Avenue. The request consists of an amendment of the Land Use Diagram of the General Plan from "Research and Limited Manufacturing" to "Commercial Thoroughfare." The applicant also requests a rezoning from "I-L-P" (Limited Industrial with Precise Plan modifier) and "C-C-P" (Central Commercial with Precise Plan modifier). Please see Exhibit A. The proposed General Plan amendment and rezoning actions are necessary to enable the development of a 212,000 sq. ft. retail shopping center, which includes Walmart as the major tenant. An amendment to the Town Centre II Redevelopment Plan (amendment is enacted concurrent with approval of the GP A), a Local Coastal Plan Amendment and a Bayfront Specific Plan amendment will be required (separate report). Other discretionary actions not requiring Commission action include a Coastal Development Permit, Precise Plan approval, and a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA). The Channelside Shopping Center Draft EIR (EIR-94-02) was circulated for public review from June 16, 1994 to August 10, 1994. The closing public hearing before the Planning Commission on August 10 on the Draft EIR concluded this public review period. Comments received as a result of this public review related to traffic safety, schools, and biology. Comments and responses are now included in the Final EIR document, with corresponding appropriate text changes. Further discussion regarding enviromnental issues is included later in this report. The City of Chula Vista entered into an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of National City regarding the coordination on planning issues between a proposed retail commercial project on the Dixieline site (National City Market Place) and the proposed Channelside Shopping Center project. In December, 1993, the Redevelopment Agency approved an semi-exclusive negotiating agreement with the project proponent. City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 28, 1994 Page 2 B. RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt the attached draft Resolution recommending that the City Council adopt: a. The attached draft City Council resolution to certify the FEIR; adopt CEQA Findings, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations; amend the General Plan by redesignating 31.63 acres depicted in Exhibit A from "Research and Limited Manufacturing" to "Thoroughfare Commercial," and b. The attached draft City Council ordinance to change the zone classification from "I-P" to "C-C-P" for 31.63 acres depicted on Exhibit D, including Precise Plan Guidelines contained therein. C. DISCUSSION 1. Existing Site Characteristics The subject site is located in the northern portion of the city bounded by Fifth Avenue on the east, Broadway on the west, State Route 54 (SR54) on the north, and the northerly line of the industrial development to the south. The site consists of a total of 31.63 acres, is presently vacant, and contains approximately 10 acres of sensitive undeveloped open space. An existing unimproved storm drain traverses the property from east to west, discharging into a recharge area of the existing Sweetwater River. The river recharge area extends from the SR- 54 right-of-way, south along the westerly edge of the property, where it then crosses under Broadway. The site currently has direct access to an extension of Fifth Avenue and will have access to Broadway from the west via a future bridge and from North Fourth Avenue to the east via a 60 ft. access easement along the southern edge of the existing Dixieline Lumber Company site.

General Plan Amendment The proposed amendment to the General Plan for 31.63 acres involves a change in the General Plan Land Use Diagram designation for the subject site from "Research & Limited Manufacturing" to "Commercial Thoroughfare." The Land Use Diagram also depicts the Chula Vista "Greenbelt" traversing east/west along the northerly edge of the project site, as well as along the westerly edge of the site. The "Greenbelt" is described in the General Plan as a "continuous 2S-mile open space and park system around the city" linked by a trail system. The proposed General Plan amendment from "Research and Limited Manufacturing" to "Commercial Thoroughfare" does not propose to modify the "Greenbelt" designation currently depicted on the Land Use Diagram. A relatively narrow strip of developed "Research and Limited Manufacturing" designated property will continue to front on Fifth Avenue and between existing major retail areas to the east and the project site. City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 28, 1994 Page 4 4. Rezoning The proposed project involves an amendment to the zoning on the property, changing from "I-L-P" (Limited Industrial subject to a Precise Plan) to "C-C- P" (Central Commercial subject to a Precise Plan). Staff is recommending the application of the Precise Plan modifier designation ("P") in order to establish necessary development guidelines for development of the property. Please see the findings necessary for the application of the "P" modifying district and the proposed Precise Plan Guidelines contained within the attached draft City Council Ordinance. 5. Public Input On July 30, 1994, a public forum was conducted to address the proposed project. The primary issue expressed involved the accommodation of truck traffic patterns for the existing industrial users currently accessing from Fifth Avenue. 6. Environmental Issues a. Schools - The Final EIR states that appropriate mitigation for anticipated school impacts is the current state-mandated building permit fees. The school districts and the City have commissioned a School Mitigation Study that examines future enrollment impacts and is anticipated to be the basis for appropriate mitigation of enrollment impacts. However, the study has not been completed, and it is not expected to be prior to actions on the discretionary permit requests. The school districts have indicated that the state-mandated fees are not adequate to mitigate impacts associated with non-residential development, however, no empirical data has been arrived at and agreed upon that can support this position. Staff has surveyed other jurisdictions to see if alternate mitigation, other than the state-madated fees, is being applied to non-residential development and have found that the state-mandated fees are being applied in every case. In view of the school district's position, staff will continue to work with the districts to resolve the issue. b. Traffic Safety - Comments have been received from the attorneys for GES Exposition Services, located at 491 Fifth Ave. (adjacent to the City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 28, 1994 Page 5 project site) indicating a concern with the safety of project-related traffic mixing with existing industrial-based truck traffic. The Final EIR concluded that the potential impacts were not considered significant under CEQA. Based on this determination, a representative from GES has indicated that their recommended mitigation measures may be reserved for future consideration rather than being imposed at the time of approval of discretionary actions by the City. The City will monitor traffic operations at this location in the future to determine what, if any, conflicts arise and will work with both property owners to resolve any potential problems. c. Biology - Comments received on the Draft EIR requested more detail on the proposed biological mitigation. Extensive detail has been provided in the Final EIR and the US Fish and Wildlife Service has indicated conceptual agreement with the plans (letter from USFWS dated September 7, included in the Final EIR). E. ANALYSIS Future development of the light industrial land uses at this location will be constrained by the relatively small size of the development area, the high visual exposure of the area to adjacent major roadways, and the transition of adjacent areas to commercial. Existing retail commercial property is located to the east, at the northwest quadrant of North Fourth Avenue and 'C' Street, and the City of National City has plans to develop the existing Dixieline Lumber Company site into a retail commercial center. Access to the project site will occur via a 60 ft. wide easement across the Dixieline site. Development of the project site as retail commercial would continue a transition of the area from light industrial uses to commercial uses and would serve as an advantageous location for the proposed retail center, due to its location, access to major thoroughfares and adjacency to State Route 54. The redesignation and rezoning would allow the area to evolve and encourage its present direction of commercialization in an orderly and planned manner. Additionally, the proposed amendment would foster the economic and physical revitalization of the Central Chula Vista Community and urban core of the City. Application of the "P" (Precise Plan) Modifying District to the property and the requisite review by the Design Review Committee of a Precise Plan is deemed necessary in order to assure compatibility of a variety of different land uses in the area, and implementation of the Chula Vista "Greenbelt." The proposed interlinking City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 28, 1994 Page 6 trail system envisioned as part of the "Greenbelt" will occur on the levee of the Sweetwater Flood Control Channel, north of the project site; however a visual open space buffer will be pursued with development and redevelopment of properties along the southern edge of SR-54, consistent with the "Greenbelt" designation. A Precise Plan guideline calling for a 15 ft. to 25 ft. wide landscape buffer is being proposed with the zoning action. Additionally, the proposed project preserves significant open space within the Sweetwater River recharge area along the westerly edge of the property, consistent with the "Greenbelt" designation. Findings for the application of the "P" modifying district are contained within the attached draft City Council Ordinance. The following are Precise Plan Guidelines for development of the property: a. Freestanding signage may be allowed adjacent to the SR-54 corridor in lieu of wall sign age (height and size to be determined), subject to review of an approval of the Design Review Committee. b. A 15' to 25' landscape buffer with enhanced landscaping complementary to landscaping within the SR-54 right-of-way shall be provided along the northerly property line as a component of the Chula Vista Greenbelt. On July 25, 1994, the Design Review Committee conducted a review of the Precise Plan for the proposed Channelside Shopping Center and recommended conditional approval to the Redevelopment Agency. The Committee indicated that the project would have to adhere to any Precise Plan guidelines applied to the property through this zoning action and would be required to return for additional review if any modifications to the plan were necessary.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The 32.5-acre project site is located in the northwestern portion of the City of Chula Vista in the County of San Diego, approximately one mile east of the San Diego Bay. The City of National City borders the west, north and a portion of the eastern project limits. State Route 54 extends along the northern project boundary. Local access to the site is provided by National City Boulevard (Broadway) to the west and 5th Avenue to the south. The historic Sweetwater River flows through the western portion of the project site. The Channelside Shopping Center project consists of the development of a regional retail commercial shopping center totaling 219,219 square feet in floor space. Within the 22-acre area proposed for development, specific uses would include a 149,289 square foot anchor store, a 52,640 square foot co-anchor retail store, 10,790 square feet of additional retail space and a 6,500 square foot retail/ restaurant. Approximately 10 acres encompassing the historic Sweetwater River in the western portion of the site and a drainage in the southern portion of the site are not proposed for development, with the exception of a fill bridge proposed to cross the historic Sweetwater River. The fill bridge would provide vehicular access from National City Boulevard to the project site. Discretionary actions associated with the proposed project include amendments to the Chula Vista General Plan and Town Center II Redevelopment Plan from Limited-Industrial to Commercial- Thoroughfare. A rezone, Local Coastal Program amendment and Coastal Development Permit would also be required. Construction of the fill bridge through the historic Sweetwater River may require permits from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and/or the California Department of Fish and Game. II.

Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Fifth Avenue Golf Range/Sports Center, Case No. 15-91-50. June 23. III. TERMINOLOGYITHE PURPOSE OF FINDINGS UNDER CEQA Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines requires that, for each significant environmental effect identified in an EIR for a proposed project, the approving agency must issue a written finding reaching one or more of three allowable conclusions. The first is that "[c]hanges or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR." The second potential finding is that "[s]uch changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency." The third permissible conclusion is that [s]pecific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternative identified in the Final ElR. As regards the first of the three potential finding, the CEQA Guidelines do not define the difference between "avoiding" a significant environmental effect and merely "substantially lessening" such an effect. The meaning of these terms therefore must be gleaned from other contexts in which they are used. Public Resources Code Section 21081, on which CEQA Guideline Section 15091 is based, uses the term "mitigate" rather than "substantially lessen." The CEQA Guidelines therefore equate "mitigating" with "substantially lessening." Such an understanding of the statutory term is consistent with Public Resources Code Section 21001, which declares the Legislature's policy disfavoring the approval of projects with significant environmental effects where there are feasible mitigation measures or alternatives that could "avoid or substantially lessen" such significant effects. For purposes of these findings, the term "avoid" will refer to the ability of one or more mitigation measures to reduce an otherwise significant effect to a less-than-significant level. In contrast, the term "substantially lessen" will refer to the ability of such measure or measures to substantially reduce the severity of a significant effect, but not to reduce the effect to a level of insignificance. Although CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 requires only that approving agencies specify that a particular significant effect is "avoid[ed] or substantially lessen[ed]," these findings, for purposes of clarity, in each case will specify whether the effect in question has been fully avoided (and thus reduced to a level of insignificance) or has simply been substantially lessened (and thus remains significant). Moreover, although Section 15091, read literally, does not require findings to address environmental effects that Pg. 2 Channelside Shopping Cen[er fiR an EIR identifies as merely "potentially significant," these findings will, where appropriate, nevertheless fully account for all such effects identified in the Final EIR. IV. lEGAL EFFECT OF FINDINGS To the extent that these findings conclude that various proposed mitigation measures outlined in the Final EIR are feasible and have not been modified, superseded or withdrawn, the City of Chula Vista (City) hereby binds itself and any other responsible parties to implement those measures. These findings, in other words, are not merely informational or hortatory, but constitute a binding set of obligations that will come into effect when the City adopts a resolution approving the project. V. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM As required by the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, in adopting these findings, also adopts a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. The program is designed to ensure that, during project implementation, the City and other responsible parties comply with the feasible mitigation measures. That program is described in the document entitled, Channe/side Shopping Center Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. VI. SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIAllY SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The Final EIR identified one significant and several potentially significant environmental effects (or impacts) that the proposed Shopping Center development would cause. These potentially significant effects will be adopted through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures, while one cannot be avoided. Potentially Sienificant Effects The following environmental effects, which would be significant (or potentially significant) in the absence of mitigation measures, can be avoided because of the adoption of mitigation measures. Page numbers of the Final ElR where the impacts are discussed follow each impact. land Use o Implementing the crossing from National City Boulevard to the site would result in impacts to coastal salt marsh. This is considered to be a significant land use inconsistency with the lCP which calls for preservation of wetlands (FEIR, p. 4.1-13). o The project as designed would result in impacts to the Chula Vista Greenbelt designation on the project site. Impacts associated with encroachment into the Chula Vista Greenbelt are considered to be significant (FEIR, p. 4.1-12). Air Oualitv o Implementation of the proposed project during the construction phase would result in a significant short term local and cumulative impact to air quality (PMIO) (FElR, p. 4.3-7). o The project's impacts to ozone levels contribute to a cumulatively significant regional impact that is not mitigable at the project level. Channelside Shopping Center fiR Pg. 3 Biolol!ical Resources o Direct impacts to 0.06 acre (250 linear feet) of unvegetated drainage are considered significant because the drainage represents waters of the U.S. under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and wetlands under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Game (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). o Direct and indirect impacts to coastal salt marsh habitat as a result of bridge construction are considered significant. Coastal salt marsh is a rare and depleted habitat type; it is recognized as wetland habitat by the California Department of Fish and Game and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, it may support the salt marsh skipper (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). o Direct impacts to Coulter's salt marsh daisy are considered significant (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). o Potential indirect impacts to the light-footed clapper rail and Belding's savannah sparrow as a result of construction noise are considered significant (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Public Services and Utilities o Implementation of the proposed project would increase the intensity of use on the site and would result in significant impacts to schools (FEIR, p. 4.7-10). Traffic Circulation o Implementation of the proposed project without a connection to the National City Boulevard/35th Street intersection is not proposed since this option was not analyzed and total project traffic impacts are not known under this untested scenario (FElR, p. 4.8-26). o Implementation of the proposed project would result in unacceptable LOS (< D) for the 5th Avenue/C Street intersection if left unsignalized (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). o Implementation of the proposed project would result in an adverse traffic impact at 4th Avenue and Brisbane Street without signalization and additional capacity for the southbound and eastbound approaches (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). o Implementation of the proposed project would slightly worsen an unacceptable future LOS peak hour condition on SR-54 west bound off-ramp at Highland Avenue and Broadway and E Street (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Geolol!Y o Because of the moderate to high erosion hazard, unsuitable imported fill material, and low strength an high settlement characteristics of the site geology, development of the site in its existing condition would be a potentially significant impact to proposed structures (FEIR, p. 4.9- 8). o The seismic hazard potential is considered high and is therefore a potentially significant impact to proposed structures and public safety (FEIR, p. 4.9-9). Channels;de Shopping Center fiR Pg. 4 o Due to the presence of potential seismic activity, existing shallow groundwater and silty sandy soils, the potential for seismically induced liquefaction occurring on-site is high and represents a potentially significant impact to proposed structures (FEIR, p. 4.9-9). Hydrolol!vlWater Ouality o The potential for a hydraulic capacity deficit in the earthen channel which runs along the southerly portion of the project site to convey 50-year ultimate storm flows in accordance with City design and threshold standards is considered a potentially significant impact. Short-Term Erosion and sedimentation impacts resulting from earth movement and grading would be significant during construction of the proposed project. Long-Term Urban runoff from the proposed project would contribute to a cumulatively significant impact to water quality. Significant Effects The proposed project would result in the following irreversible environmental changes: o Significant impacts to air quality associated with project implementation have been identified. Although the project's impacts to ozone levels are not considered individually significant, they contribute to a cumulatively significant regional impact that is not mitigable at the project level (FEIR, p. 4.3-7). As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City Council has determined that this impacts are acceptable because of overriding economic, social and other considerations. The subsections below restate all of the above-identified impacts and the mitigation measures are recommended to be adopted to avoid impacts (or the reasons the mitigation measures or alternatives are infeasible due to specific economic, social or other considerations). There are no measures or alternatives that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency to adopt or implement. A. LAND USE Potentiallv Sil!nificant Effect: Implementing the crossing from National City Boulevard to the site would result in impacts to coastal salt marsh. This is considered to be a significant land use inconsistency with the LCP which calls for preservation of wetlands (FEIR, p. 4.1-13). Findinl!: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.1-15;4.1-16). Channe/side Shopping Center fiR Pg.5 The land use impact associated with the inconsistency of the project with the wetlands preservation goals of the LCP, which have resulted from impacts to sensitive wetlands habitat and species, will be mitigated by on-site revegetation at a 3:1 ratio. Mitigation for this impact is further described in Section 4.6, Biologv. This mitigation would reduce inconsistency with wetland preservation goal impacts to a less than significant level and would serve as the Environmental Management Program as required by the LCP. Potentiallv Silmificant Effect: The project as designed would result in impacts to the Chula Vista Greenbelt designation on the project site. Impacts associated with encroachment into the Chula Vista Greenbelt are considered to be significant (FEIR, p. 4.1-12). FindiDl~s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.1-16). The land use impacts associated with Chula Vista Greenbelt inconsistencies on the project site shall be mitigated by providing a 15-25 ft. wide landscape striplbuffer along the northerly property line. In addition, enhanced landscaping necessary to implement the visual aspects of the Greenbelt, in concert with the ongoing landscape program for the SR-54 freeway right-of-way, shall be installed within this landscape striplbuffer as well as along the back edge of the 1 DO-ft. wetlands buffer. Plant materials for each of these areas shall be subject to approval of the City's Landscape Architect and shall also be consistent with the goals of the current LCP and Coastal Development Permit for the Sweetwater River area. B. AIR QUALITY Potentiallv Silmificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project during the construction phase would result in a significant short term local and cumulative impact to air quality (PMlO) (FEIR, p. 4.3-7). Findings: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitigation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 3.1-5). o Revegetation of disturbed areas shall be conducted within 15 days of completion of grading. o Active grading sites shall be watered at least twice daily. o Spoil, import, export, or other stock piles (sand, gravel, etc.) excluding surcharge material, shall be enclosed, covered, or watered twice daily. o Trucks hauling dirt, sand or gravel or other loose material shall be covered and should maintain a two-foot freeboard. Channels ide Shopping Center fiR Pg.6 o Vehicle wheel washers, or other methods acceptable to the City Engineer, shall be installed where vehicles exit the project site. o Ultimate deposition of export material off-site would require that the applicant demonstrate the inclusion of erosion control measures and compliance with other requirements as determined necessary by the City of National City or the City of San Diego. Si!:nificant Effect: The project's impacts to ozone levels contribute to a cumulatively significant regional impact that is not mitigable at the project level (FElR, p. 4.3-7). Findinl!s: No mitigation measure(s) is/are presently available to avoid this impact at the project level. Mitigation of this impact relies on regional programs to reduce regional air pollution. As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, however, the City Council has determined that this impact is acceptable because of overriding economic, social, and/or other considerations. C. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Potentiallv Si!j:nificant Effect: Direct impacts to 0.06 acre (250 linear feet) of unvegetated drainage are considered significant because the drainage represents waters of the U.S. under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and wetlands under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Fish and Game (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final ElR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 3.1-5). Proposed mitigation for impacts to the drainage include reconfiguration and maintenance of a new drainage channel. It is likely that an individual Section 404 permit pursuant to the Clean Water Act will not be required because the impact is less than an acre. Owing to the limited acreage involved, the project is likely to be covered by the Nationwide permit process. However, a Section 1603 Streambed Alteration Agreement pursuant to the California Fish and Game code will be required prior to construction activities. Application for the 1603 agreement will need to be accompanied by biological documentation of the site and a conceptual revegetation and monitoring plan. This plan may include measures such as limitations on grading, erosion control measures, revegetation and plant survival criteria, subject to the approval of permitting agencies. Potentiallv Si~nificant Effects: Direct and indirect impacts to coastal salt marsh habitat as a result of bridge construction are considered significant. Coastal salt marsh is a rare and depleted habitat type; it is recognized as wetland habitat by the California Department of Fish and Game and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, it may support the salt marsh skipper (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Findim!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Channe/side Shopping Center ElR Pg. 7 Miti\:ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FElR, p. 4.6-7). Impacts to coastal salt marsh are the direct result of the proposed bridge connecting the project with Broadway to the west of the site. For purposes of this impact analysis, a "worst case scenario" has been assessed, i.e., the most intrusive bridge design has been evaluated. It is strongly recommended that the bridge design that is the least intrusive into the coastal salt marsh habitat be selected, thereby minimizing impacts to this sensitive habitat type. The "worst case" design not only results in the direct loss of approximately 0.15 acre of salt marsh habitat, through fill and shading, but may adversely affect the salt marsh to the north of the proposed bridge. Regardless of the final design, impacts to coastal salt marsh shall be mitigated at a ratio of 3:1 by area, preferably on-site. Hence, excavation and salt marsh revegetation should be conducted in the southwestern corner of the site adjacent to existing coastal salt marsh habitat. It is likely that a Section 404 permit pursuant to the Clean Water Act will not be required because the impact is less than an acre; i.e., the impact is likely to be covered by the Nationwide permit process. However, a Section 1603 Streambed Alteration Agreement pursuant to the California Fish and Game Code will be required prior to construction activities. Application for the 1603 agreement will need to be accompanied by biological documentation of the site and a conceptual revegetation and monitoring plan. Potentiallv Silmificant Effects: Direct impacts to Coulter's salt marsh daisy are considered significant (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Findin!!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Miti!!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Direct impacts to Coulter's salt marsh daisy shall be mitigated through salvage and transplantation on- site prior to grading for construction. Potentiallv Si!!nificant Effects: Potential indirect impacts to the light-footed clapper rail and Belding's savannah sparrow as a result of construction noise are considered significant (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Findin!!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Miti!!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.6-7). Potential indirect impacts to the light-footed clapper rail and Belding's savannah sparrow shall be mitigated by scheduling construction activities to avoid the breeding seasons of these two bird species, which extend from March 15 to August 1. If the project applicant wishes to proceed with construction activities during the breeding season, a focused survey must be conducted to ensure that neither species is breeding and/or nesting in the salt marsh habitat on site. If breeding and/or nesting is occurring, no construction activities that exceed 60 dB at the nest location shall be performed during the breeding and/or nesting season. Channe/sjde Shopping Center fiR Pg. 8 D. PUBLIC SERVICES AND UTILITIES Potentiallv Sil!nificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project would increase the intensity of use on the site and would result in significant impacts to schools (FEIR, p. 4.7-10). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measure has been found to be feasible and has been required as a condition of approval through these findings (FElR, p. 4.7-10). The applicant shall pay State-mandated impact fees of $0.28 per square-foot of building area. E. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION & PARKING Potentiallv Sil!nificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project without a connection to the National City Boulevard/35th Street intersection is not proposed since this option was not analyzed and total project traffic impacts are not known under this untested scenario (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). The project applicant shall add a 4th leg (crossing) to the intersection of National City Boulevard at 35th Street. Project improvements include a connection between the project parking lot and National City Boulevard, restriping on National City Boulevard, and signal modifications to provide for full turning movements. Potentiallv Sij:nificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project would result in unacceptable LOS (< D) for the 5th AvenuelC Street intersection if left unsignalized (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). The applicant shall signalize the intersection of 5th Avenue at C Street. Potentiallv Sil!nificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project would result in an adverse traffic impact at 4th Avenue and Brisbane Street without signalization and additional capacity for the southbound and eastbound approaches (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final ElR. ChanneJside Shopping Center fiR Pg. 9 Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). o Project applicant shall construct an access road connection between the site and 4th Avenue. The roadway should align across from Brisbane Avenue and have two left-turn lanes and one through/right-turn eastbound approach lanes and two westbound lanes. o Land use buildout of the Channelside Shopping Center, National City Marketplace and Target, plus project cumulative traffic will necessitate that the access road be aligned concentric with Brisbane Street at Fourth Avenue (ultimate improvements). For short term, prior to the redevelopment of the property of the south (Target), the access road can be aligned approximately 60 feet north of Brisbane Street creating an offset intersection at Fourth Avenue to avoid encroachment onto the property occupied by Target. o The ultimate objective however, is to achieve the concentric alignment with Brisbane. To this end, staff has agreed if the ultimate improvements are not achieved at the time that the Channelside Shopping Center/National City Marketplace projects proceed, the offset intersection will be allowed providing that the cost of the interim improvements are borne by the Channelside Shopping Center or National City Marketplace developers. Furthermore, these two projects shall be conditioned to provide for the ultimate improvements. As such, a condition will be placed on the approvals for the Channelside Shopping Center/National City Marketplace projects to provide a pro-rata share of the ultimate improvements. Final design approval will be subject to financial security via a bond, promissory note, or other such financial mechanism to ensure participation. The terms of this condition will be further defined in the agreement between the Cities of Chula Vista and National City regarding costs and responsibilities for public improvements. o If Channelside Shopping Center and National city Marketplace developers proceed with their projects in advance of their ability to achieve the ultimate improvements, the project applicants shall be responsible for not only the interim improvements, but for their pro-rate share of the ultimate improvements when those improvements occur. o Project applicant shall pay fair share cost to widen 4th Avenue on the west side between SR-S4 and the project driveway to provide a southbound right-turn lane. o Project applicant shall pay fair share cost to install a traffic signal at the 4th Avenue/Brisbane Avenue intersection. Potentially Sil!nificant Effects: Implementation of the proposed project would slightly worsen an unacceptable future LOS peak hour condition on SR-S4 west bound off-ramp at Highland Avenue and Broadway and E Street (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Findinl!s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitil!ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.8-26). Channelside Shopping Center fiR Pg. 10 o SR-54 westbound off-ramp at Highland Avenue. Applicant to pay fair share cost to widen the ramp to allow a second westbound left-turn lane. o Broadway at E Street. Applicant shall pay fair share cost to add eastbound left- and right-turn lanes and a westbound right-turn lane. F. GEOLOGY Potentiallv Sis;nificant Effects: Because of the moderate to high erosion hazard, unsuitable imported fill material, and low strength and high settlement characteristics of the site geology, development of the site in its existing condition would be a significant impact to proposed structures. Findins;s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitieation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.9-8). o To mitigate adverse soil conditions, the applicant has been conducting surcharge operations on the portions of the site that will accept loading from structures. The building areas are being overburdened with soil to compress underlying soils to the point where they are suitable for development. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the applicant shall provide evidence to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that satisfactory soil conditions have been achieved. Potentially Sienificant Effects: The seismic hazard potential is considered high and is therefore a significant impact to proposed structures and public safety. Due to the presence of potential seismic activity, existing shallow groundwater, and silty sandy soils, the potential for seismically induced liquefaction occurring on-site is high and represents a significant impact to proposed structures. Findinl;s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitieation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.9-8). o Structural components of the proposed project shall be designed by a professionally California State licensed structural engineer with specific experience in designing similar structures. Structures shall be designed in accordance with the 1994 UBC guidelines. At a minimum, structural design shall be done in accordance with the 1994 UBC Seismic Zone 4 factors. Preliminary design shall be submitted to the Department of Building and Housing and shall be in conformance with the current UBC at the time the application for a building permit is submitted. ChanneJside Shopping Center fIR Pg. 11 G. HYDROLOGYIWATER QUALITY potentiallv Sie:nificant Effects: The potential for a hydraulic capacity deficit in the earthen channel which runs along the southerly portion of the project site to convey 50-year ultimate storm flows in accordance with City design and threshold standards is considered a potentially significant impact. Findine:s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final ElR. Mitie:ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.10-15). o The applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the channel in the southerly portion of the project site can provide for 50-year ultimate storm flows in accordance with City design and threshold standards prior to issuance of a grading permit. Potentiallv Sie:nificant Effects: Erosion and sedimentation impacts resulting from earth movement and grading would be significant during construction of the proposed project. Findine:s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Mitie:ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.10-15). o Development of the Channelside Shopping Center project shall comply with all applicable regulations established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as set forth in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for urban runoff and stormwater discharge and any regulations adopted by the City of Chula Vista thereto. Further, the applicant shall file a notice of intent with the State Water Resources Control Board to obtain coverage under the NPDES General Permit for Storm water for Discharges associated with construction activity an implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) concurrent with the commencement of grading activities. The SWPPP shall include the erosion control and pollution prevention measures listed below under 4.10-c and Mitigation Measures 4.3 as listed in Section 4.3, Air Oualitv. pursuant to the City's Grading Ordinance. Potentiallv Sie:nificant Effects: Urban runoff from the proposed project would contribute to a cumulatively significant impact to water quality. Findine:s: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which will avoid the potentially significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR. Miti{:ation Measures: The following mitigation measures have been found to be feasible and have been required either as a condition of approval or have been made binding on the City through these findings (FEIR, p. 4.10-15). Pg. 12 ChanneJside Shopping Center fiR o Acceptable pre-treatment devices or facilities installed on the on-site stormdrain system shall be effective in the removal of urban pollutants. Adequate effectiveness shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to approval of the grading permit. A maintenance schedule shall also be submitted to the City Engineer. At a minimum, pre-treatment devices or facilities shall be cleaned on a quarterly basis and prior to the rainy season (November 1). VII. INFEASIBILITY OF ALTERNATIVES OTHER THAN THE PROJECT ALTERNATIVE (PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21081 [B]) The approval of the project would cause significant unavoidable cumulative impacts by contributing to existing regional air quality impact. The only way to mitigate this impact is to disapprove the project and to not allow existing approved uses to be carried forward. Essentially, all future discretionary projects would have to be denied. The decision makers reject this approach because it would not achieve the City goals for productive use of the subject site. It is an explicit goal of the Chula Vista General Plan and Town Center 11 Redevelopment Plan to increase the retail base of the City. Additionally, the General Plan states as a goal to maintain or improve quality of life through responsible management of growth, while providing services and amenities to residents and visitors, including housing, open space and recreation shopping opportunities. In addition, the decision makers find that the project will generate permanent jobs and result in a net positive fiscal impact from sales tax revenue. The decision makers have considered whether any of the project alternatives discussed in the EIR could feasibly substantially lessen or avoid the identified significant effects. As will be explained below, the decision makers conclude that none of the project alternatives could both meet the objectives of the project and lessen or avoid the identified significant effects. There were seven (7) alternatives including the proposed project evaluated in this Supplemental EIR. Their characteristics are: Alternative Description Project Two major retail anchors and accompanying commerciallrestaurant uses. No Project Maintain site in its current condition. Existing General Plan and Zoning Development of the project site in accordance with the adopted research and limited manufacturing land use designations and zoning. Reduced Density Commercial Building areas would be reduced by one third. Alternative Site (1) Otay Rio Business Park Alternative Site (2) Eastlake Business Park (Phase II) Alternative Site (3) Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center Channe/side Shopping Center fiR Pg. 13 No Proiect Alternative Adoption of the No Project Alternative would avoid potential impacts associated with the proposed project. However, implementation of this alternative would not achieve the objectives of the adopted General Plan and Town Center II Redevelopment Plan which call for providing retail uses within the Central Chula Vista area. Additionally, this alternative does not as effectively expand the retail tax base of the City of Chula Vista, or provide the project's level of sales tax revenue to the City to enhance public services city-wide. The No Project alternative would not meet the objectives of the project or the goals of the Town Center \I Redevelopment Plan and General Plan Land Use Element. Additionally, implementation of this alternative would reduce the anticipated sales tax revenue to the City. The alternative is, therefore, rejected as infeasible. Existine General Plan Desienation and Zonine Development of the site in accordance with the adopted Research and Limited Manufacturing land use designations would reduce, but not eliminate, environmental impacts of the proposed project and would result in significant unmitigable impacts to air quality. As discussed in Section 4.3, Air Ouality of the FEIR, cumulative impacts to air quality are due to regional conditions. Only adoption of the No Project Alternative would avoid the project's contribution to the air quality impacts. Short of denying this project and future projects, these cumulative impacts will incrementally increase. Implementation of this alternative would be consistent with the General Plan. However, it would conflict with the goals of the General Plan and the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan. As discussed in Section 4.1, Land Use of the FElR, it is a goal of the Land Use Element of the General Plan as well as the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan to provide for retail facilities in the Central Chula Vista area to improve employment levels and the availability of retail uses. Based on these factors, this alternative would not meet the objectives of the project or the goals of the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan and the General Plan Land Use Element and therefore is rejected as infeasible. Reduced Density Commercial Impacts associated with this alternative would be of a similar type to those anticipated under the proposed project. However, for most of the impacts, the intensity or extent of the impact would be reduced but not avoided under this alternative. Implementation of this alternative would result in significant unmitigable impacts to air quality. Cumulative impacts to air quality are due to regional conditions. Only adoption of the No Project Alternative would avoid the project's contribution to the air quality impacts. Short of denying this project and future projects, these cumulative impacts will incrementally increase. Under the reduced square footage alternative, the project would not likely support a large, high volume, discount retailer, thereby requiring a different type as well as size of commercial use than is currently proposed. As a result, fiscal benefits would be reduced. Channelside Shopping Cenfer ElR Pg. 14 As discussed above, the significant unmitigated impacts of the proposed project would not be avoided under this alternative and the economic benefit to the City would be reduced as compared to the proposed project. The alternative is, therefore, considered to be infeasible. Alternative Site (1) With the exception of potential biological, hydrology, and greenbelt impacts associated with the proposed project, implementation of the project at this location would not eliminate any significant adverse impacts associated with the proposed location. As discussed in Section 5, Alternatives of the FEIR, potentially significant land use impacts are associated with this site due to the current land use designation of the site, Research and Limited Manufacturing, as well as potential conflicts associated with siting a commercial use in a business park. Potentially significant traffic impacts are also associated with this site due to access concerns. Implementation of a commercial use in an alternative site would have similar impacts to air quality, schools, public utilities, and geology, as would implementing a commercial project at the proposed site. Additionally, implementation of the project at this location would not be consistent with the goals of the General Plan and the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan. As discussed in Section 4.1, land Use of the FElR, it is a goal of the land Use Element of the General Plan as well as the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan to provide for retail facilities in the Central Chula Vista area to improve employment levels and the availability of retail uses. As discussed above, the significant unmitigated impacts of the proposed project would not be avoided under this alternative. Additionally, this alternative would not meet the objectives of the project or the goals of the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan and General Plan land Use Element. Based on these factors, the alternative is rejected as infeasible. Alternative Site (2) With the exception of potential impacts to biological resources and hydrology associated with the proposed project, implementation of the project at this location would not avoid any of the significant impacts associated with the proposed location. As discussed in Section 5, Alternatives of the FElR, land use impacts under this alternative would be considered potentially significant due to the current land use designation of the site, Research and Limited Manufacturing, as well as potential conflicts with siting a commercial use within a business park. Future projections indicate that traffic impacts on surrounding roadways would also be potentially significant. Implementation of a commercial use in an alternative site would have similar impacts to air quality, schools, public utilities, and geology, as would implementing a commercial project at the proposed site. Additionally, implementation of the project at this location would not be consistent with the goals of the General Plan and the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan. As discussed in Section 4.1, land Use of the FEIR, it is a goal of the land Use Element of the General Plan as well as the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan to provide for retail facilities in the Central Chula Vista area to improve employment levels and the availability of retail uses. As discussed above, the significant unmitigated impacts of the proposed project would not be avoided under this alternative. Additionally, this alternative would not meet the objectives of the project or the goals of the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan and General Plan land Use Element. Based on these factors, the alternative is rejected as infeasible. Channe/side Shopping Cenfer fiR Pg. 15 Alternative Site (3) Implementation of the project at this alternative site is not considered to be environmentally superior to the proposed project. Implementation of a commercial use at this alternative site would have similar impacts to air quality, schools, public utilities, and geology, as would implementing a commercial project at the proposed site. Additionally, the infrastructure necessary to support the proposed project is not available and are not scheduled for completion for the next five to ten years (FEIR, p. 5.0-6). Development of the proposed project is scheduled for 1995 and 1996 and, therefore, infrastructure would not be available to serve the project. For this reason, the Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center site is not considered to meet the objectives of the project. As discussed above, the significant unmitigated impacts of the proposed project would not be avoided under this alternative. Additionally, this alternative would not meet the objectives of the project. Based on these factors, the alternative is rejected as infeasible. Channe/side Shopping Center fiR Pg. 16 STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093, the Chula Vista City Council, in approving the various actions that are the subject of the Channelside Shopping Center FEIR, having considered and independently judged the information contained in the FEIR and having reviewed and considered the public testimony and record, makes the following Statement of Overriding Considerations in support of the Findings and the action of the City Council approving the project. The City Council finds and concludes that the public benefits of the project outweigh the identified significant and unmitigated impacts to air quality set forth in the Findings. The decision makers find that the following factors support approval of the project, despite the identified significant environmental impact. Therefore, the City Council sets forth the following Statement of Overriding Considerations: 1. The project will benefit the City by providing needed commercial goods and services in the Central Chula Vista portion of the City, by serving a growing population base in that area and by achieving stated goals and objectives of the General Plan and the Town Center II Redevelopment Plan. 2. The project will result in a substantial net positive fiscal impact upon the City thereby allowing for enhanced City services. 3. The project will benefit the City by generating approximately 350 new jobs, contributing to an improved jobs to housing balance in the Central Chula Vista area. 4. As set forth in the Findings, mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project or made binding on the applicant through the adoption of the Findings, which to the extent feasible, reduce impacts to below a level of significance. 5. The City Council has carefully balanced the benefits of the project, as proposed, against its unavoidable environmental risks and has determined that the risks are "acceptable" because of the fiscal benefit to the city as well as the contribution of the project to achieving the land use goals of the General Plan and Town Center II Redevelopment Plan. Consequently, the Council believe that the proposed project is the superior alternative despite the significant impacts to air quality that would result from implementation of the project. Channe/side Shopping Center fiR Pg. 17 CHANNELSIDE SHOPPING CENTER MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM CHANNELSIDE SHOPPING CENTER MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM Monitoring Program Description and Purpose The California Environmental Quality Act requires aleadorresponsible agency that approves a project where an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has identified significant environmental effects, to adopt a "reporting or monitoring program for adopted or required changes to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects." The City ofChula Vista is the lead agency for the Channelside Shopping Center project. A Draft and Final EIR were prepared for this project which addressed potential environmental impacts and, where appropriate, either recommended mitigation measures to reduce identified significant impacts below a level of significance or a recommended alternative to avoid the impact. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is required to ensure that the adopted mitigation measures are implemented. The City ofChula Vista will adopt this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) after considering the Final EIR and if approval of the project occurs. Roles and Responsibilities The MMRP for the proposed project will be in place through all phases of the project, including final design, pre-grading, construction and operation. The City ofChula Vista has the primary enforcement role for the implementation of mitigation measures. The City's Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC) will provide final approval for the completion of the implementation of mitigation measures. The ERC will appoint a Mitigation Compliance Coordinator (MCC) who will be responsible for the actual monitoring ofthe implementation ofthe mitigation measures. The MCC will interface with the ERC, the City Engineer, the City Landscape Architect, the Construction Supervisor, and the Construction Inspector(s), all who have some responsibility for the implementation of the mitigation measures. MMRP-I 9/15/94 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Procedures The MMRP consists ofMitigationMonitoring and Reporting Program procedures, filing requirements, and reporting and compliance certification. These procedures are outlined below. Mitiration Monitoring and ReDortinr Program Procedures: The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program identifies the monitoring activity, the timing of implementation of the mitigation measures, and the responsible agency or department that will verify satisfactory implementation ofthe mitigation measures. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Files Files shall be established to document and retain the records of the MMRP. The files shall be established, organized, and retained by the City ofChula Vista Planning Department. ReDorting and Comvliance Verification The City's Mitigation Monitoring Report forms are designed to record the monitoring activity in a consistent manner with appropriate approvals. The forms will be completed and signed by the individuals responsible for the monitoring and approval of the mitigation measures. These forms will be placed in the MMRP files. ProW'am O-perations The following steps will be followed for implementation, monitoring, and verification of each mitigation measure: I. The City ofChula Vista, Environmental Review Coordinator (ERe), shall designate the MCC, who will be responsible for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation measures. 2. The ERC shall provide to the MCC the Mitigation Monitoring Report forms; a copy of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program checklist; and other pertinent information. 3. The MCC shall coordinate the implementation of the mitigation measures and shall complete the MMRP form for each activity. The MCC shall then forward the report to the ERC for fmal approval. MMRP- 2 9/IS/94 4. All completed forms shall then be placed in the MMRP files. Mitigation measures shall be implemented as specified bytheMitigationMonitoringandReporting Program Summary. During any project phase, unanticipated circumstances may arise requiring the refinement or additionofmitigationmeasures. TheERC, with advice rrom staff, is responsible forrecommending changes to the mitigation measures, if needed. If mitigationmeasures are refined, the ERC shall complete a Mitigation Monitoring Report F onn documenting the change, and shall notifY the appropriate design, construction, or operations personnel about revised requirements.

Planning Commission Record. The proceedings and all evidence introduced before the Planning Commission at their public hearing on the Draft EIR, held on August 10, 1994, and the minutes and resolution resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of this proceeding. III. Finding for Approval of Rezoning. The City Council finds that the rezoning is consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan and the Chula Vista Local Coastal Program and that the public necessity, convenience, general welfare, and good zoning practice support the rezoning to C-C-P (Central Commercial-Precise Plan). IV. Findings for Application of the P Precise Plan Modifier. The City Council finds that the "P" Precise Plan Modifier is appropriate for the Project Site in that: A. The subject property is unique by virtue of its access and traffic circulation in that its westerly point of access requires the construction of a bridge across a wetlands, and its easterly access enters subject site from the adjoining municipality of National City. Ordinance No. Page 3 B. The property to which the "P" modifying district is being applies is an area adjacent and contiguous to zones or land uses allowing different land uses, to wit, SR-54 to the north, IL (Limited Industrial) to the south and southeast, CH-CZ (Heavy Commercial-Coastal Zone) (City of National City) to the west, and CG-PD (General Commercial-Planned Development) (City of National City) to the east, and the development of a precise plan will allow the area so designated to coexist between land usages which might otherwise prove incompatible; C. The area to which the "P" modifying district is applied consists of two properties under separate ownership wherein coordination regarding access, on-site circulation, site planning, building design and identification is necessary to enhance the public convenience, health, safety and general welfare: thus requiring special handling of the development on a precise plan basis. V. Precise Plan Guidelines. The City Council does hereby approve the application of the following Precise Plan Guidelines to development of the Project Site. Unless otherwise specified, all Conditions, Guidelines and Code Requirements shall be fully completed to the City's satisfaction prior to the approval of occupancy. Unless otherwise specified, "dedicate" means grant the appropriate easement, rather than fee title. Precise Plan Guidelines: A. Freestanding signage may be allowed adjacent to the SR-54 corridor in lieu of wall signage (height and size to be determined), subject to review of an approval of the Design Review Committee. B. A 15' to 25' landscape buffer with enhanced landscaping complementary to landscaping within the SR-54 right-of-way shall be provided along the northerly property line as a component of the Chula Vista Greenbelt. VI. General Conditions of Approval. The foregoing discretionary approval, stated to be conditioned on "General Conditions," is hereby conditioned on the occurrence of the General Conditions as set forth in Section VllI of the Discretionary Approvals Resolution. VII. Consequence of Failure of Conditions. If any of the foregoing conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so implemented and maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to revoke or modify all approvals herein granted, deny or further condition issuance of all future building permits, deny, revoke or further condition all certificates of occupancy issued under the authority of approvals herein granted, instituted and prosecute litigation to compel their compliance with said conditions Ordinance No. Page 4 or seek damages for their violation. No vested rights are gained by Developer or a successor in interest by the City's approval of this Ordinance. VIII. Invalidity; Automatic Revocation. It is the intention of the City Council that its adoption of this Ordinance is dependent upon the enforceability of each and every term, provision and condition herein stated; and that in the event that anyone or more terms, provisions or conditions are determined by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, this ordinance at the City's election, in its sole discretion, shall be deemed to be automatically revoked and of no further in force and effect ab initio.

APPROV AL OF MINUTES MSUC (KrachalHall) (4-0) to approve the minutes of the July 11, 1994 meeting, as presented. NEW BUSINESS 1. EIR-94-02 Channel Side Shopping Center Staff Presentation - Mr. Reid advised the commission members that the City Attorney's office had ruled that he had a conflict of interest with this project. Joe Monaco of the Community Development department presented the project, briefly describing the proposed commercial center to be located south of Highway 54 and east of Broadway. He stated that it had been determined that there were impacts created by this project in two areas that were not mitigable; those areas are air quality, and the greenbelt. He stated that current technology did not provide for mitigation of air quality, and that there was currently no policy for addressing mitigation for the greenbelt. Project applicants Phil Adams and Gerald Alford presented site plans and further described the project. Commission Discussion- Member Hall asked if the bridge at Broadway would be a fill bridge, stating that a fill bridge would destroy the greenbelt connection. Mr. Alford stated that a fill bridge would be the first preference as it would preclude the presence of transients below; however, alternatives include a span bridge, and a bridge that is part span, part fill. He discussed the wetlands, pointing out that the project is respecting the 100' buffer from mapped wetland areas. Member Myers asked if there was any data supporting the need for more commercial development; Mr. Monaco stated that the applicants have done market analysis, and that staffs fiscal analysis showed no impact beyond the first year. Potential school impacts were discussed. Chair Burrascano expressed concern regarding the high liquidation factor, and also asked about success criteria for coastal salt marsh mitigation. Mr. Monaco stated that this would be included in the permit process. Public Comment - Mr. William E. Claycomb of .Save Our Bay, Inc.. expressed concerns regarding the decrease of salt marsh area and discrepancies in the box culvert size. He stated that the blacktop of the parking area will create additional runoff, and questioned mitigation of drainage. Mr. Alford stated that the salt marsh area would not be decreased by this project, and that drainage has been accommodated. MSC (HalIIKracha) (4-1, Myers opposed) to accept draft EIR 94-02. Resource Conservation Commission -2 Julv 25. 1994 2. City Landscape Manual Staff Presentation - Mr. Reid reminded members that they had reviewed this item some months ago in conjunction with the Negative Declaration. He stated that the City Attorney had since ruled that this project is exempt from environmental review. Landscape planner Garry Williams stated that there had been numerous revisions to the document, including input from two developer workshops. Committee Discussion - Member Ghougassian stated that the current manual is a definite improvement over the previous document; other members concurred. Member Kracha disagreed with the generalities regarding eucalyptus trees on page 27, noting that many species are hazardous. He also stated that while contractors are required to install trees with a minimum 3" girth, the City does not appear to adhere to this. (Member Ghoughassian left the meeting at 7:30 p.m.) MSUC (Hall/Kracha) (4-0) to recommend adoption of the landscape manual. Member Myers commented that she did not find the wording regarding use of drought-tolerant planting to be strong enough. 3. Ideas to Improve Environment Mr. Reid suggested continuing this item to the next meeting (to a workshop to discuss ideas), while noting that he would not be at the next meeting due to vacation, and Barbara Reid would be taking his place. Mr. Meacham presented the items in which he had been involved. He advised that Laidlaw had asked for a plan to accommodate mixed waste paper, adding that a mixed waste paper plant is interested in locating in Chula Vista. Mr. Meacham stated, regarding composting, that yard waste is now sent to Organic Recycling West, a state-certified facility, rather than the County facility; he added that the program is cheaper and diverts more than twice the amount of the curbside recycling program. Regarding a purchasing policy regarding use of recycled materials, Mr. Meacham stated that this is being looked at, although an effort is made to purchase such materials now. Chair Burrascano suggested that RCC members contact the assigned staff person to discuss their items. 4. Stenciling at Drainage Inlets Mr. Reid stated that there is a permit process, with fees, for stenciling on rights-of-way. He noted that fees are typically waived for non-profit organizations by the City Manager. Mr. Meacham described the storm drain education programs on which monies are currently being spent. Resource Conservation Commission -3 Julv 25. 1994 5. Review of Planning Commission for July 27, 1994 Mr. Reid reviewed the Planning Commission agenda. Regarding item #2 (PCM-94-26), member Hall stated she would be opposed to higher densities. Staff Comments Mr. Reid noted that the City Manager had taken a budget for historical signs to the City Council as a budget supplement; the Council had approved $1200.00 for signs. He also indicated that the 4(d) rule may be on the next RCC agenda. Chair's Comments Chair Burrascano stated that she would contact those members not present regarding their assigned environment improvement subjects.
