PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~
Meeting Date 6/14/95
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Consideration of the following applications for the
"Broadway Business Homes" proposal, filed by Josef and Lenore
Citron for 2.53 acres located at 760 Broadway within the Southwest
Redevelopment Project Area.
a) PCZ-95-A; Rezone from C-T Thoroughfare Commercial to C-
C-P Central Commercial with Precise Plan.
b) PCC-95-23; Conditional Use Pennit to establish a 36 unit
mixed-use commercial/residential project with shared parking.
The proposal consists of rezoning 2.53 acres from C- T, Thoroughfare Commercial to C-C-P,
Central Commercial with Precise Plan in order to build a 36 unit mixed-use
commercial/residential project at 760 Broadway within the Southwest Redevelopment
Project Area. Mixed-use projects are permitted only in the C-C-P zone subject to approval
of a conditional use permit and to the development criteria established in CYMC Section
19.58.205.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-95-03, with
Addendum of possible environmental impacts associated with the project. Based on the
attached Initial Study, Addendum and comments thereon, the Environmental Review
Coordinator has concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and,
therefore, recommends adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration issued on IS-95-03.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution PCZ-95-
NPCC-95-23 recommending that the City Council approve the rezoning and conditional use
permit in accordance with the attached draft City Council Ordinance and Resolution and
the findings and conditions contained therein.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On May 22, 1995, the Design Review
Committee reviewed the project design in preliminary fonn and expressed some concern
about the lack of common usable open space traditionally found in multi-family projects.
Based on the project's unique and urban qualities, however, the Committee endorsed the
design as presented, but recommended additional outdoor amenities to compensate for the
lack of common open space. A revised design which includes several areas with trellises and
seating will be considered by the Design Review Committee on June 26, 1996.

DISCUSSION:
Site Characteristics
The 2.53 acre site is located on the west side of Broadway, between "J" and "K" Streets. It
was previously occupied by the Fuller Ford automobile dealership and contains several
vacant structures and asphalt paving. A masonry wall separates the site from the westerly
adjacent residences.
The property is bounded to the north by a tire store, to the south by a one-story motel, to
the east by Broadway, and to the west by single family dwellings located approximately 4-10
ft. lower than the project site. Adjoining General Plan designations and zoning districts are
as follows:

Proposal
The proposal calls for 36 individually-owned three-story business home units featuring a
500-600 sq. ft. commercial space at the lower level, with a 1,500 sq. ft. two-story living space
directly above. A loop road located along the perimeter of the property, as well as a single
dead-end drive off Broadway, are for the exclusive use of the residences, each of which is
served by a single-car garage and either a tandem or open parking space.
The commercial shops are situated around two separate parking areas oriented toward
Broadway. The two parking lots provide a total of 80 parking spaces to serve the 18,000
sq. ft. of total commercial floor space proposed. Three landscaped passageways provide
pedestrian access between the commercial and residential "sides" of the project, whereas
vehicular access and parking is exclusive to each component.
Page 3, Item -L
Meeting Date 6/14/95
Open space consists of an 80-100 sq. ft. private patio for each dwelling unit, plus lawn areas
along the residential loop road, and visual focal points featuring trellis structures and seating
at several locations. Landscaping is provided along the frontage of the shops, within the
parking lots and pedestrian passageways, as well as at three locations along the rear
property line. A 4-6 ft. high masonry wall is proposed to be retained and supplemented
where necessary to separate the project from the residences to the west.
The Business Homes proposal includes several requested precise plan deviations from
typical development standards. These include a reduction in usable open space by
approximately 25%, a reduction in the setback along Broadway from 25 ft. to 4 ft., a
reduction in total parking by 10 spaces under a shared parking arrangement, the use of 28
compact-commercial and 28 tandem-residential parking spaces, and a modest reduction in
vehicle back-up and maneuvering areas from 24 ft. to 21 ft. along the residential loop road.
Some of these requested deviations are at least partially based on the constraints of the site
in relation to the unique qualities of the project, but many are also based on the proposition
that the Business Homes will be owned, occupied and operated by the same individual or
family. The commercial and residential spaces of each unit are internally connected and
are intended to function as a combined living and working space for the owner.
Development Criteria
Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.58.205 provides the following development criteria
for mixed-use projects:
1. The conditional use permit shall be subject to review and approval of the City
Council following the recommendation of the Planning Commission;
2. The commercial and residential components shall be planned and implemented
together;
3. The maximum allowable residential density will be governed by the provisions of the
R-3 zone based on the total project area, less any area devoted exclusively to
commercial use, including commercial parking and circulation areas. The approved
density may be significantly less than the maximum allowable density depending on
site specific factors, including the density and relationship of surrounding residential
areas, if any;
4. Parking, access and circulation shall be largely independent for the commercial and
residential components of the projects. Each use component shall provide off-street
parking in accordance with City standards;
Page 4, Item ~
Meeting Date 6/14/95
5. The residential component shall meet the private and common open space
requirements of the R-3 zone;
6. The conditional use permit may include a restriction on commercial uses andlor
business hours in order to avoid conflicts with residential units.
Public Input
On June 1, 1995, the Planning Department sponsored a public forum to familiarize
surrounding residents and property owners with the request and the planning process.
Those in attendance generally appeared receptive to the proposal and welcomed the
improvements to the site, but concerns were expressed with the following:
1. Loss of privacy for the residents to the west and the desire for a higher wall along
the westerly property line;
2. Increased traffic if the commercial and residential components of each unit were
rented separately;
3. Adequate provisions for trash since both the residential and commercial components
will be served by trash cans rather than trash dumpsters; and
4. The approval of tandem parking could set a precedent for other multiple family
projects.
In addition to the input received at the public forum, correspondence was received from an
area resident expressing concerns about the additional traffic, noise, and pollution, and also
questioning the need for additional retail commercial shops along Broadway. In other
correspondence, the residents of the three most southerly adjacent lots have requested that
the existing 20 ft. high building wall located on the southwest property line be retained to
reduce the noise and impacts associated with commercial operations.
ANALYSIS:
The existing Retail Commercial General Plan designation for the site allows for typical
retail and service commercial uses found in neighborhood and community shopping centers
and on traditional downtown shopping streets. It also allows for limited thoroughfare
commercial retail and automobile-oriented uses provided they constitute only a small
portion of a planned commercial development. The C-C Central Commercial zone is the
city's basic retail and shopping center zone, and thus the rezoning is considered consistent
with the General Plan.
Page 5, Item ~
Meeting Date 6/14/95
A mixed-use project can only be implemented in the C-C-P Central Commercial zone. This
is due to the fact that the uses allowed in the C-C zone are considered more compatible in
conjunction with residential use than the "heavier" automobile-oriented uses allowed in the
C-T Thoroughfare Commercial zone. The establishment of this C-C zoned mixed-use
development on what is otherwise a thoroughfare commercial frontage is also not
inconsistent with the historical use of the C-C zone as a site specific shopping center or
planned development district at other isolated locations on Broadway as well as 'E' Street
and Third Avenue. In other words, the use of the C-C zone under these circumstances is
not considered "spot zoning".
With regard to the mixed-use development criteria listed above, the Business Homes
proposal meets all of the criteria with the exception of total parking, and open space. In
relation to parking, the proposed deficiency of 10 required spaces is more than compensated
for by the reduction in parking demand by 36 spaces under the shared parking concept,
whereby the residential occupant is also the commercial proprietor and thus does not
require an additional parking space. A deed restriction is recommended to ensure
continued single operator/occupancy.
The open space provided is approximately 25% less than what is typically required for a
multiple family project (400 sq. ft./ unit). However, the project includes enhanced
pedestrian walks and attractive trellis structures with seating and decorative planting.
Although the common open space is not up to parity with more traditional multifamily
developments, the open space and amenities provided are in the opinion of the Design
Review Committee suitable for the intended urban character of the project.
The development criteria also provide the ability to restrict commercial uses and/or business
hours in order to avoid conflict with the residential component. The proposed hours of
operation are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
on Saturday and Sunday. These hours have been incorporated into the conditions of
approval as deed restrictions, as has a list of prohibited uses which are allowed under the
C-C zone but which are believed to represent a potential conflict with directly adjoining
residential.
In additional to total parking and open space, as noted above the proposal includes
requested precise plan deviations for the Broadway setback, the use of compact and tandem
parking spaces, and a reduction in vehicle back-up and maneuvering area. With the
exception of the Broadway setback reduction, which involves approximately 30% of the
project frontage and which is not inconsistent with established setbacks along the entire
length of Broadway, these deviations are somewhat exceptional, but in the Design Review
Committee's opinion considered supportable in terms of providing the opportunity for a
unique development concept which would otherwise likely not occur.
Page 6, Item ~
Meeting Date 6/14/95
Also, the single occupant/operator concept, coupled with the proposal for an exclusive
single-loaded loop road will tend to ameliorate the potential for conflicts. For example, the
tandem parking and reduced back-up/maneuvering issues only affect the residential units
situated along the loop road. Since this road is intended for the owner-residents only, any
inconvenience presented by utilizing tandem parking or by less generous maneuvering areas
can be anticipated and adjusted to by these owners and will not conflict with public parking
or general circulation.
With respect to the issues raised by the public and not already discussed:
1. Traffic: The proposed project will generate approximately 1,800 (ADT), or about
1,056 ADT over the previous land use. According to the City Traffic Engineer, the
additional traffic is expected to be lessened by having the shop operators living and working
within the site. Broadway is anticipated to continue to operate at level of service (LOS) 'C'
which is consistent with the City's threshold standard.
2. Noise: An acoustical study analyzed two on-site concerns: the noise generated by
the commercial activities impacting the westerly adjacent neighborhood, and the exposure
of the proposed residential units to the noise generated by traffic along Broadway. The
study recommends the following items to reduce the noise impact and these have been
incorporated into the Negative Declaration as required mitigation measures:
. Maintain a minimum 5 ft. high masonry wall along the west property line.
. All windows facing east on the four frontage units shall incorporate dual pane
windows rated a minimum of STC-25.
. A mechanical ventilation system capable of 2 air exchanges per hour shall be
incorporated into all of the living units.
By incorporating this recommendation into the conditions of approval, the noise levels will
be well within the City's standard.
3. Privacy: The Chula Vista Municipal Code requires a 6 ft. high masonry zoning wall
along the property line abutting residential districts. The intent of the wall is to screen and
buffer residential uses from the noise and activities associated with commercial zones.
Several of the residents at the public forum expressed a desire for a higher 9-10 ft. wall to
further ensure their protection and privacy, even to the extent that three of the residents
desired to retain the 20 ft. high wall of a vacant building at the southwesterly corner of the
site.
Page 7, Item ~
Meeting Date 6/14/95
Although the 20 ft. high building wall cannot be retained, a higher wall up to 8-10 ft. could
provide more protection and a greater sense of privacy. A wall of that height, however, can
be imposing, and may not be acceptable to all of adjoining residents. As a result, we have
included a condition which requires a meeting to be held with the westerly adjacent
residents to obtain their input regarding the wall height prior to final consideration of the
project by the Design Review Committee.
4. Trash: The proposal is to use trash cans rather than trash dumpsters to serve the
entire project. Normally trash cans are only acceptable in the case of smaller residential
projects of four units or less. This issue will be addressed by the Design Review Committee
in an attempt to incorporate one or more dumpster enclosures into the project.
Conclusion
For the reasons outlined above, staff is recommending approval of the proposal based on
the findings and subject to the conditions contained in the Draft City Council Ordinance
and Resolution.

service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the
neighborhood or the community.
The establishment of a 36 unit commercial/residential mixed-use project will
provide an innovative and unique development concept whereby residents may
live and work at the same location, and the project and improvements will
enhance what is an otherwise vacant and unused property, and will encourage the
redevelopment as well as improvement of surrounding properties.
B. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case, be
detrimental the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or
working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the
vicinity.
The proposal as conditioned includes measures to avoid potential on and off site
conflicts to ensure the highest level of compatibility between the commercial and
residential components of the project. The site plan and building design will
contribute significantly to the improvement of the site and surrounding areas.
C. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the Municipal Code for such use.
Compliance with all applicable conditions, codes and regulations shall be required
prior to issuance of development permits and on a continuing basis thereafter.
D. That the granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the
general plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The approval of this project as conditioned is consistent with City policies and the
Chula Vista General Plan.
III. Conditional Grant of Permit; Conditions. The Redevelopment Agency hereby grants
Conditional Use Permit PCC-95-23 subject to the following conditions, whereby:
1. The commercial hours of operation shall be limited to the hours between 8:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday
and Sunday, and these shall be reflected as deed restrictions for each of the
lots/units.
2. The land uses listed in attached Exhibit A shall not be permitted, and these shall
be reflected in the deed restrictions for each of the lots/units.
3. The project shall comply with all the requirements of the Chula Vista Uniform
Fire and Building Codes to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshal and Director of
Building and Housing respectively.
4. Commercial activities and operations, including storage of merchandise and pick-
up and delivery of goods, shall be limited to the area designated for commercial
use and shall not occur in the residential units.
5. Garages shall remain open and available for parking and shall not be not be
utilized for commercial storage.
6. A minimum 6 ft. high masonry wall shall be established along the west property
line. However, the wall height may be increased to a maximum of 10 ft.
providing the Design Review Committee, after receiving input from the westerly
adjacent residents, determines that the additional height is necessary to preserve
their privacy and buffer the residences from the activities associated with the
proposed project.
7. All windows facing east on the four frontage units shall incorporate dual pane
windows rated a minimum of STC-25.
8 A mechanical ventilation system capable of 2 air exchanges per hour shall be
incorporated into all of the living units.
IV. Additional Terms and Provisions of Grant.
A. This permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified, or deleted conditions
imposed after adoption of this resolution to advance a legitimate governmental
interest related to health, safety or welfare which City shall impose after advance
written notice to the permittee and after the City has given to the permittee the
right to be heard with regard thereto. However, the City, in exercising this
reserved rightlcondition, may not impose a substantial expense or deprived the
Permittee of a substantial revenue source which the Permittee cannot, in the
normal operation of the use permitted, be expected to economically recover.
B. This conditional use permit shall be void and ineffective if the same is not utilized
within one year from the date of this resolution in accordance with Section
19.14.260 of the Municipal Code. Failure to comply with any condition of
approval and property deed restriction shall cause this permit to be reviewed by
the City for additional conditions or revocation.

Re: Businesshome Village Acoustical study
Dear Ms. citron:
We have conducted an acoustical study for the former Fuller Ford
si te at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista. Ms. Susan Vandrew
from the Planning Department staff had identified two noise
concerns relative to development of the site as proposed. These
concerns were:
1. Exposure of the rear yards of existing residents on Riverlawn
to excessive site activity noise, or,
2. Excessive on-site residential exposure to vehicular noise from
Broadway traffic_
Given the previous use of the site for automotive and truck repair
and a body shop in close proximity to the Ri verI awn homes, the
question of site suitability for residential use is perhaps more
pertinent than limited "new" site access/egress noise.
Tasks that were performed to evaluate changes in the noise
environment due to project implementation included:
1. Site familiarization and obtaining plans and other input data
2. On-site noise measurements
3. Measurement of parking lot activity noise at a similar mixed
use development in Orange County
/7744 Sky PMk Q'n:k, Suite 2/0. JrviDt:. Qlifomu 92714 . PiJoDe (714) 851-8609 - Fu (714) 85/-86/2
-2-
4. Evaluation of noise impact potential and identification of any
recommended mitigation
The following discussion summarizes the results of the efforts in
each task.
Project Description
The preliminary site plan for 36 units envisioned two "pads" of 18
live/work businesses and residences separated by a common parking
area. In the revised site plan, the two clusters have been drawn
together with only a small separation and two separate parking
areas have been created. In the current site plan, the intervening
3-story structures between Riverlawn residences and the parking
areas will preclude any audibility of site visitor vehicular
activity. Use of the perimeter roadway by site residents and by
small delivery vehicles such as package delivery services will be
the potential source of impact. Through the more contiguous
building mass screening out Broadway traffic noise, any small
impact from site-related vehicles may be offset by equal or greater
attenuation of existing noise.
Proposed uses for the site are a mixed use concept with owner-
occupied businesses on part of the ground floor of each townhouse
with parking in the rear of the ground floor and two floors of
living space above. Business uses are expected to be small
specialty retail, professional or service-oriented offices and
special ty restaurants such as gourmet coffee, deli sandwiches,
yogurt, etc. No audible noise generation from business use is
expected at the rear of any unit in proximity to adjacent
residences.
on-site Noise Measurements
Noise measurements were made at three locations on the project
site. Two sites were along the rear separation wall between the
former dealership and the adjacent residences (one near the former
body shop on the southern one-half of the site, one near the taller
truck repair building on the northern one-half). One monitor was
located 90 feet from the Broadway centerline in a former auto
display area with an unobstructed view of Broadway. Results of
these measurements made on February 23, 1995 near 1 p.m. are
summarized as follows:
-3-
Noise Level (dB[A] )
Lm.- Lux Lmin
Front Display Area 65.3 75 55
Body Shop Area 59.7 66 55
Truck Repair Area 58.9 65 52
These readings were l5-minute energy equivalent averages (LEQ) and
i-second maxima and minima (Lmax, Lmin). City of Chula Vista
standards are expressed in terms of a weighted 24-hour standard
called the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). Our monitoring
experience in a number of Chula Vista noise monitoring programs has
been that mid-day LEQs and 24-hour CNELs are often very similar.
For example, a comparison of CNEL and the mid-day noise level at
three sites around Chula Vista are as follows:
LEQ CNEL
(Noon-2 pm)
site 1 64.3 dB 63.6 dB
site 2 62.7 dB 64.9 dB
site 3 52.2 dB 51.9 dB
The difference between CNEL and mid-day LEQ is often near zero, and
generally fairly small. The baseline readings above are therefore
a reasonable representation of existing noise levels relative to
the City's exterior standard of 65 dB(A) CNEL. The above
comparison suggests that mid-day LEQ noise levels are from 0-2 dB
lower than daily CNELs. At the locations measured, the former
front display area with a CNEL of 65-67 dB(A) thus currently
slightly exceeds the City standard, while the former rear repair
areas with CNELs of 59-62 dB(A) are well within the city's
guidelines. Residences on Riverlawn backing up to the site
protected by the existing wall clearly have a large margin of
safety between the standard and their current noise exposure.
-4-
Parking Lot Activity Noise
Noise levels at the edge of a parking lot serving a mixed use
development in Huntington Beach were monitored as a prototype for
the off-site levels that could be expected for the former site plan
that had a direct line of sight from the parking area to the rear
yards of Riverlawn homes. The Huntington Beach facility has ground
floor shops and offices with upstairs residences in an "Old World"
atmosphere. Businesses include restaurants, a deli, retail shops
(especially ethnic wares), travel agencies, CPAs, a tanning salon,
etc. Tenant and/or owner parking is in a separate garage area, but
otherwise the design concept is similar to the proposed facility in
Chula Vista.
One-hour measurements at the edge of the parking lot from 12:30 -
1:30 p.m. when there is an active lunch traffic were as follows:
LEQ = 59.7 dB
LMAX = 81.0 dB
Lmin = 51.5 dB
Because the traffic peaks during the day with little nocturnal
activity, CNEL is likely several dB lower than mid-day LEQ. If the
property line CNEL were 57 dB (A), and this noise level were
superimposed upon the 59-62 dB(A) CNEL currently experienced at the
fenceline of the Riverlawn homes, the combined level would be 61-63
dB(A) CNEL. The former plot plan with the parking area exposed to
view by the residences, even without any noise reduction credit for
a rear property wall, would not cause City of Chula Vista standards
to be exceeded. with the revised plot plan, the parking lot
activity noise exposure to off-site residents is a moot point. Its
only issue would be as to how much on-site vehicular activity will
be audible to project site upper story residents.
Access Road Noise
As a worst-case assumption, each unit was assumed to generate 10
daily trips (five outbound and five inbound) along the perimeter
access. At 25 mph, with 10% of traffic at night, the traffic noise
in the absence of any barrier is 50 dB(A) CNEL in the rear yards of
the adjacent residences assuming that the proposed homes are
perfect reflectors. A level of 50 dB is not perceptible within an
-5-
existing background of around 60 dB. By creating a more contiguous
3-story barrier to screen out existing traffic noise from Broadway,
the noise reduction achieved by the project will far more than
compensate any small noise increment created by resident and minor
delivery vehicle traffic on the townhome perimeter road.
The above calculations are for no separation wall between the
project and existing Riverlawn residences. No wall is needed to
meet noise standards. A wall may be desirable for privacy,
security, aesthetics or other reasons, but it is not a necessary
project component to meet noise standards. Because inclusion of a
wall is not noise-driven, the height is somewhat immaterial. Any
height above 5 feet will reduce the perception at adjacent homes of
individual vehicles passing through the rear "alley", but only
creates an additional margin of safety relative to meeting City of
Chula vista standards.
On-Site Noise Exposure
siting of residential uses on a commercial corridor does have
possible noise implications. Existing measured noise levels
(estimated from short-term, daytime readings) at 90 feet from the
Broadway centerline are 65-67 dB(A) CNEL. Projected increases in
traffic volumes on Broadway are small such that noise "growth" is
forecast to be only an additional 0.5 dB(A) CNEL. With the facade
of the closest project buildings somewhat closer than the 90-foot
measurement distance, a maximum future exterior noise level of 69
dB(A) CNEL is forecast for the units closest to Broadway. The
sides of the closest buildings to Broadway will exceed the City
standard by 4 dB. The front and back of the closest unit will only
be exposed to one-half of the traffic. Limits in the field of view
to 50% of the traffic flow will create a 66 dB(A) CNEL exposure at
the corner of the nearest unit. Within the width of one unit,
noise levels decrease by 1+ dB to create a sub-65 dB(A) CNEL at the
exterior of all units except the four closest to Broadway. The 65
dB(A) CNEL contour approximately bisects the closest unit.
city standards for noise at any usable exterior recreational space
is 65 dB(A) CNEL. state standards for interiors of multiple family
units is 45 dB(A) CNEL. Exterior to interior noise attenuation
with standard construction practice is 20 dB as long as windows are
closed. All units except the four closest to Broadway will have
exteriors of less than 65 dB(A) CNEL. Their decks and porches will
meet City exterior standards without any supplementary noise
protection. Their interior levels will be below 45 dB(A) CNEL as
long as residents can close their windows to shut out the noise.
-6-
The ability to close the window requires an auxiliary source of
ventilation. Although this requirement is met in the UBC with only
a whole-house fan (normally in the furnace in central heating),
refrigerated air conditioning is the preferred option. While the
need for air conditioning in Chula Vista is very limited, its
inclusion provides an expanded range of options to the business and
residential component of each unit to control comfort and noise.
At the four end units abutting on Broadway, a somewhat enhanced
level of noise control is required. Exterior exposure for the
front balconies of these units is 65 dB(A) CNEL. The rear deck is
shielded by the protrusion of the second floor family room such
that the deck outside the kitchen door will also have a noise level
within City of Chula vista standards. No exterior noise mitigation
is required. The front balcony at 65 dB(A) CNEL may not be
conducive to relaxing conversation at these units, but does not
require any supplementary noise control.
The interior of the four units closest to Broadway is thus the only
possible location where standard design practice may not be able to
achieve a reduction from 69 dB(A) CNEL on the facade to a 45 dB(A)
CNEL in the interior. with planned windows facing Broadway, the
noise leakage for a standard window may be slightly inadequate.
Based on preliminary room geometrics, we have run the Interior
Noise Analysis (INA) model. Use of slightly upgraded windows
(dual-paned sliders or a thicker glass) with a Sound Transmission
Class (STC) of 25 or higher will allow the interior standard of 45
dB(A) CNEL to be readily met.
su.mary/Reco_endations
Our findings are as follows:
1. A rear property wall is not necessary for noise protection. It
is anticipated, however, that the existing rear wall, with some
cosmetic improvement, will be retained. Maintaining a minimum
wall height of 5 feet above project grade is recommended.
2. Air conditioning is recommended as a standard feature on all
units.
3. East facing windows in the four end units that face Broadway
are recommended to be rated at STC = 25 or higher. This rating
is typically achieved by use of a thicker glass or by a dual-
paned sliding window.

I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista
allow the Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an
addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) , if one of the following conditions is present:
1. 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.
IS- 95 - 03 analyzed the potential environmental impacts
associated with a proposal of a rezone from the CT to Central
Commercial modified by a Precise Plan (CCP) zone, in order to
allow for the construction of 36 mixed use units.
Subsequent to the completion of the
Declaration, minor changes have been

This addendum supersedes the previous Mitigated Negative
Declaration 18-95-03. An Addendum need not be circulated for
public review, but instead becomes an attachment to the
previously issued Mitigated Negative Declaration 18-95-03.
II. PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proj ect site, located at 760 Broadway, is a 2.52 acre
site, which was previously used as a Fuller Ford auto
dealership and is located in the 80uthwest Redevelopment
Project area. The site is zoned Thoroughfare Commercial (CT)
and designated as Commercial Retail in the General Plan.
There are several existing structures and carports previously
used in the auto dealership for customer service, parts
storage and auto repairs. The City of Chula Vista currently
owns the property and will issue a contract for the demolition
of all structures and carports and the clean up of the site
prior to the transfer of the property to the project applicant
for construction of an approved project proposal.
The properties to the north and south, as well as across
Broadway to the east, are zoned Commercial Thoroughfare. To
the west is zoned R1 and there are existing single-family
residences. A tire sales and repair land use is located to
the north and a hotel is located to the south. The average
graded slope of the site is 2~.
III. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
On May 2, 1995 the proposed project was reviewed by the
Redevelopment Agency to provide direction as to how project
issues are to be addressed by staff. The issues which are of
major concern to staff include setting precedents which have
City staffing and budgetary implications, public access and
liability, and open space and parking proposals. Issues which
were discussed and were not evaluated in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration were the following: the creation of an
assessment district to establish ownership and maintenance for
the common areas, the establishment of Conditions, Covenants,
and Restrictions (CC&R's) and a Parcel Map proposal.
IV. PROPOSED PROJECT
The project entails a residential subdivision comprising 36
units. There will be common areas including access alleys,
open space and public parking areas. The City with form a
"one of a kind" Assessment District to establish ownership and
maintenance for the common areas.
Project area residents have indicated concern about the
potential of having two separate areas that could be rented
separately. The applicant has indicated that owners of the
units are to occupy both the residential and commercial areas
of the units. Prior to issuance of any building permits for
said development, the applicant/owner (or their successors in
interest) shall enter into an agreement with the City
establishing Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&R's)
for the ownership of the "business homes." Any costs incurred
by the administration of the CC&R's will be born by the
applicant.
The project entails a subdivision of 36 units, as described
above and the map process may take from 12 to 18 months. The
process is governed by State Law (the Subdivision Map Act) .
State law does provide for exemptions from the process for
public agencies, under certain circumstances. The City
currently owns the property and may be able to process a
Parcel Map, as opposed to a Subdivision Map, for the project.
The applicant has requested that this be done and staff
believes that a Parcel Map would be a cleaner process, and
would provide monumented lot corners for a more precise legal
lot definition.
V. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Assessment District
The formation of an Assessment District does not in any way
change or alter the conclusions regarding the environmental
impacts described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration for
the proposed project.
CC&R's
The City establishing of Conditions, Covenants, and
Restrictions (CC&R's) for the ownership of the "business
homes" will address residential concerns as to the ownership
of the home/business units and will support conclusions as to
project impacts as described in the Mitigated Negative
Declaration, which assume that the owner and occupant of the
business homes will be one in the same.
Parcel Map
The processing of a parcel map will not exempt the development
from CEQA or other land use approval processes and will not
change the proj ect impacts as described in the Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
VI. CONCLUSION
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the
project revision, as reflected in this Addendum (IS-95-03A),
does not raise important new issues about the proj ect' s
significant effects on the environment. No significant
impacts would result from these modifications to the project
as previously proposed. This addendum supplements the
previous Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the
project and concludes that the project proposal is subject to
mitigation measures.
Mitigated NegaLie Declaratio
PROJECT NAME: Broadway Business Homes Village
PROJECT LOCATION: 760 Broadway, Chula Vista CA 91910
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.: 571-200-13 through 17
PROJECT APPLICANT: Citron Realty & Investment Corp., Josef & Lenore Citron
CASE NO: IS-95-03 DATE: May 12, 1995
A. Proiect Setting
The project site, located at 760 Broadway, is a 2.52 acre site, which was previously used as
a Fuller Ford auto dealership and is located in the Southwest Redevelopment Project area.
The site is zoned Thoroughfare Commercial (CT) and designated as Commercial Retail in
the General Plan. There are several existing structures and carports located on the project
site which were previously used in the auto dealership for customer service, parts storage and
auto repairs. The City of Chula Vista currently owns the property and will issue a contract
for the demolition of all structures and carports and the clean up of the site prior to the
transfer of the property to the project applicant for construction of the an approved project
proposal.
The properties to the north and south, as well as across Broadway to the east, are zoned CT.
To the west is zoned RI and there are existing single-family residences. A tire sales and
repair land use is located to the north and a hotel is located to the south. The average graded
slope of the site is 2 %.
B. Proiect Description
The project proposes a rezone from the CT to Central Commercial subject to a Precise Plan
modifier (CCP), in order to allow for the construction of 36 mixed use units; commercial use
on the first floor level and residential use on the second and third floors and it is expected
that the owner of the business and home are one in the same household. Nine two bedroom
units, nineteen three bedroom and eight four bedroom units are proposed. The proposed lot
coverage is 39,188 sq. ft. of the total 109,771 sq. ft. project site, or 36%. There are 82
commercial and 72 residential parking spaces provided. There will be 36 single car garages,
8 open stalls and 28 lO'x 12' tandem spaces. There will be 7,072 sq. ft. of open space
provided for project residents. The estimated project population is 123. The project is
expected to generate 26 light commercial and office jobs.

CHULA VISTA
The applicant will be required to pay Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees and
comply with State California Title 24 Disabled Regulations. Discretionary actions include
Precise Plan approval and a Conditional Use Permit. The project will also require approval
by the Redevelopment Agency. A soils study will be required prior to issuance of a building
permit.
C. Compatibilitv with Zoning and Plans
The proposed mixed-use project is proposed on five parcels which are currently designated
on the General Plan land use diagram as Commercial Retail and zoned CT. The project
proposes a zone change to CCP, which would be compatible with Commercial Retail land
use designation. Approval of a zone change will permit the proposed use, subject to
approval of a Conditional Use Permit (per Chapter 19.36, Section .030, Zoning Ordinance)
and approval of a Precise Plan.
Nearby resident's have raised concern about parking overflow to the their streets. There are
82 commercial parking spaces and 72 residential spaces and III commercial and 72
residential spaces are required. The justification for the parking space deficiency is founded
in the urban character and uniqueness of the proposed mixed-use project and will be
addressed in the project precise plan or a variance.
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista determined that the proposed project
could have one or more significant environmental effects. Specific mitigation measures will
be implemented to reduce these effects to a level below significant. With mitigation, no
significant environmental effects will occur, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact
Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The following impacts have
been determined to be less than significant.
Noise:
A acoustical study prepared by Giroux & Associates analyzed two noise concerns on of the
project proposal: exposure of noise from the proposed project to single-family residences to
the west and excessive on-site residential exposure to vehicular noise from Broadway traffic.
Tasks that were performed to evaluate changes in the noise environment due to project
implementation included:
1. Site familiarization and obtaining plans and other input data,
2. On-site noise measurements,
3. Measurement of parking lot activity noise at a similar mixed use development in Orange
County, and
4. Evaluation of noise impact potential and identification of recommended mitigation.
WPC F:\HOME\PLANNING\STORED\I020.9:XRef. 1021.93,1022.93)
Page 2
The findings and recommendations of the study are as follows:
I. A rear property wall is not necessary for noise protection. It is anticipated, however, that
the existing rear wall, with some cosmetic improvement, will be retained. The maintaining
of a minimum wall height of 5 feet above project grade is recommended.
2. A mechanical ventilation system which will comply with UBC Sect. 1205 (c) is required
as a standard feature on all units.
3. East facing windows in the four end units that face Broadway are recommended to be
rated at STC = 25 or higher. This rating is typically achieved by use of a thicker glass or by
a dual paned sliding window.
School Impacts
The proposed project involves a rezone from CT to CCP. This rezone will allow for the
development of 36 residential units with commercial space, subject to approval of a
Conditional Use Permit and Precise Plan. The present CT zone does not permit residential
uses. Therefore, it has been determined that the rezone to CCP could generate significant
school impacts since it allows residential units by Use Permit. As a result, the City
recognizes that school impacts generated by the approval of a rezone for the project site must
be fully mitigated.
The proposed 36 residential units will generate an impact of up to 22 new students in the
enrollment area for Chula Vista Junior High School, Chula Vista High School and Mueller
Elementary School.' Due to the uniqueness of the project's "business homes" concept, the
commercial component of the project is not considered to be an additional impact, as it is
expected that the owner of the business and home are one in the same household.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District
(the Districts) have indicated that state mandated fees will not be sufficient to fully mitigate
impacts. Therefore, they have requested that this project be conditioned to fully mitigate
impacts through possible participation in a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District or other
financing mechanism, mutually acceptable to the Districts and the project proponent, which
will achieve full mitigation.
In order to fully mitigate identified impacts, the applicant shall be required to enter into an
agreement with the Districts in which measures to fully mitigate impacts are outlined and
mutually agreed upon, and evidence of said agreement shall be provided to the satisfaction
of the City prior to the time of building permit issuance.
The factors used to calculate student generation are .30x36=lO.8 or 11 for
elementary schools and .29x36=10.44 or 11 for junior high/high schools (11+11=22).
The factors were provided by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the
Sweetwater Union High School District.

Fire Services
Based on the fire flow requirements, the Fire Department will require the following: the
project to be fully sprinklered; fire extinguishers; a fire alarm system (centrally monitored),
standpipes and a fire access with a minimum of 20'.
Water Availability
The Sweetwater Authority has indicated that if a fire sprinkler system is added to this
development (note that required by the Fire Department), the required fire flow can be
reduced from 7500 GPM to 3750 GPM. This flow can be met if the developer installs 600
Lineal feet of 12-inch main in Broadway, from "K" St. to the mid-point of the proposed
development. This is in a section of Broadway that is currently being reconstructed by the
City of Chula Vista. Any required water services will probably result in the excavation of
the newly constructed street. The applicant will also be required to provide information
regarding domestic, irrigation and fire sprinkler water demands that would expedite these
installations prior to the street reconstruction.
Land-Use
The project proposes a zone change to Central Commercial subject to a Precise Plan modifier
(CCP). Approval of a zone change will permit the proposed use with a Conditional Use
permit (per Chapter 19.36, Section .030 of the Zoning Ordinance). The proposed project
allows for a mixed-use project along Broadway, which is specifically called for along sections
of the Broadway Commercial strip. The proposed project lends credence to Ordinance 2295,
which allows for mixed-use developments in the CCP zone. This project supports the intent
of the Ordinance to facilitate the developmentlredevelopment of otherwise under utilized
commercial sites and foster mutually supportive projects, such as the proposed project which
allows residents to live and work at the same site. The project also supports the intention
to provide an opportunity to ease the transition between commercial properties and abutting
residential areas.
Traffic/Parking
The proposed project will generate approximately 1816 ADT, approximately 1056 ADT over
the previous land use. Potential additional traffic impacts are expected to be lessened by
having a high percentage of employees living and working on the project site. The project
is not anticipated to significantly impact traffic on Broadway and with the implementation of
a scheduled Capital Improvement Project (Fall, 1995), this segment of Broadway is expected
to operate at a Level-of-Service 'C' or better.
There are 82 commercial and 72 residential parking spaces proposed, however I I I
commercial and 72 residential spaces are required. According to the applicant, the parking
provided for the commercial shops is adequate because the shops, which are about 600 sq.
ft. each and connected to the living space, are intended to be used by the resident living
directly above, and because the resident/shop operator parking is provided along with the
residence, the typical commercial parking demand is reduced by the number of
WPC F:\HOME\PLANNING\STORED\!020.93'.Ref. 1021.93,1022.93)
Page 4
residentiallbusiness units (36). The justification for the parking space deficiency is founded
in the urban character and uniqueness of the proposed mixed-use project and will be
addressed in the project precise plan or a variance process. Findings to justify the deviations
from the Chula Vista Municipal Code will have to be made by the approving body.
Conclusion
The proposed project does not have any unmitigatable significant environmental effects as
defined by CEQA. The project has been found to have less than a significant impact on land
use, fire services, water availability and traffic. The project will generate impacts to noise,
schools and parking which require mitigation to ensure that impacts are less than significant.
E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant effects
Specific project mitigation measures are required to reduce potentially significant
environmental impacts identified in the initial study for this project to a level below
significant. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project. These measures
must be incorporated into the project proposal prior to issuance of a building permit.
I. Recommendations and findings of the noise study (please refer to Section E above).
2. Evidence of an agreement between the applicant and school districts which fully mitigate
school impacts generated by the proposed project shall be provided to the City.
3. The applicant shall obtain approval of the proposed parking in the Precise Plan.
F. Mandatorv Findings of Significance
1. Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause
fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate
important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
The project site is in an urban area and was previously used for a major automobile
dealership and maintenance facility. There are no sensitive species or habitat in the
area.
2. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to
the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals?
The 2.52 acre project site was previously used for a major dealership and
maintenance facility and is located in the Southwest Redevelopment Area. The
proposed mixed-use project will implement project goals of the Southwest
Redevelopment Plan; provision for the enhancement and renovation of businesses
within the Project Area to promote their economic viability and encourage the
WPC F:\HOME\PLANNING\STORED\I020.93::Ref. 102] .93,1022.93)
Page 5
establishment and maintenance of "balanced neighborhoods" and subareas,
characterized by a planned diversity in building sites, density, housing and land use.
The project will provide for a revitalization of the site and serve as an opportunity
for Chula Vista residents to purchase housing, while also obtaining a small business
opportunity. Therefore, the proposed project does not disadvantage long-term
environmental goals.
3. Does the project have possible effects which are individually limited but
cumulatively considerable? As used in the subsection, "cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are
considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the
effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects?
The proposed project will generate approximately 1816 ADT, approximately 1056
ADT over the previous land use. Potential additional traffic impacts are expected to
be lessened by having a high percentage of employees living and working on the
project site. The project is not anticipated to significantly impact traffic on Broadway
and with the implementation of a scheduled Capital Improvement Project (Fall,
1995), this segment of Broadway is expected to operate at a Level-of-Service 'c' or
better.
The proposed rezone to allow for residential units as a component of the mixed use
project will generate school impacts which are considered to be significant and
require full mitigation. In addition, noise levels are expected to impact future
residents of the units. These impacts are to be mitigated as outlined in said document
(please refer to Section E). The applicant's compliance with the mitigation measures
as outlined in this Mitigated Negative Declaration will ensure that project impacts are
less than significant. Therefore, all impacts, both individual and cumulative have
been found to be less than significant.
4. Will the environmental effects of a project will cause a
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
The proposed project is in compliance with City Growth Management threshold
standards for fire, police, and other City services. Therefore, the proposed mixed-
use project will not create substantial adverse impacts to human beings, either directly
or indirectly.

Comments: The proposed mixed-use project is not designated for mineral resources protection and
City standards. Current city recycling programs for the residential and commercial sectors of the City
will provide the opportunity for the mixed-use project to use resources in a reusable fashions, thus
preventing the use of resources in a wasteful manner. As the project is a mixed-use project, the
commercial use will have the opportunity to be involved in commercial programs, while the
residential component can utilize programs such as curb side recycling pick-up.

Thresholds. Will the proposal adversely impact the
City's Threshold Standards?
D

D
181
As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seen Threshold
Standards.
a) Fire/EMS
The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must be able to respond to
calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75% of
the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that this threshold standard will be met.
since the nearest fire station is 2 miles away and would be associated with a 4 minute
response time. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The fire department will require the following fire prevention measures: based on fire
flow requirements, the project will be required to be fully sprinklered; fire extinguishers required-
2A IOBC; a fire alarm system is required (centrally monitored), standpipes required and a 20' wide
minimum tire access is required.
b) Police
The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of Priority I calls
within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 1 calls of
4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2 calls within 7
minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes
or less. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The proposed project will not significantly impact police services or calls for service.
The police crime prevention unit has requested that the applicant obtain a crime prevention review
from the police department.
c) Traffic
The Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of Service
(LOS) "C" or berter, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "0" may occur
during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Intersections west of
1-805 are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS
"E" or "F" during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway
ramps are exempted from this Standard. The proposed project will comply with this
Threshold Standard.
Comments: The project segment of Broadway currently operates below Level-of-Service (LOS) "C."
However, completion of City of Chula Vista C.I.P. project ST-130, "Street reconstruction-Broadway,
to L", will improve the LOS to "C" or above. Completion of c.I.P. project ST-130 is anticipated in
the Fall of 1995.

d) Parks/Recreation
The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres/] ,000 population. The
proposed project will not comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) Fees will be required to be paid as per the
current park land dedication ordinance fee schedule. This will ensure that impacts to Park &
Recreation are less than significant.
e) Drainage
The Threshold Standards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed
City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Engineering
Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The project site is in a 500 flood plain, however, no special building measures with be
required of the applicant.
On-site drainage facilities consist of surface flow to Broadway, also a 30" RCP which conveys
upstream runoff through the site to downstream drainage facilities. The 30" RCP flows from east to
west. The site to downstream drainage facilities. The 30" RCP flows from east to west. The
facilities arc adequate to service the project, however, City of Chula Vista, crp project ST-130,
"Street Reconstruction-Broadway, "I to L" will abandon the 30" RCP and will reroute upstream flows
northward in Broadway in order to relieve flooding problems to the west of the project site and the
30" RCP.
Off-site drainage facilities consist of a 33" RCP in Broadway which flows to the north. Also, a 30"
RCP downstream and west of the 30" RCP described above. These facilities are adequate to serve the
project, however the aforementioned C.I.P. project ST-130 will re-route flows from sources upstream
of the project site that currently flow through the site via a 30" RCP to downstream drainage facilities
located immediately west of the project site. This rerouting of flows will relieve flooding problems
further west of and downstream from the project site.
f) Sewer
The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City
Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements
consistent with Sewer Master Plan(s) and City Engineering Standards. The
proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The existing sewer lines consist of a 8" VCP in Broadway that begins at the northern
end of the proposed project and flows northward. Also, an 8" VCP which starts near the westerly
property line and which flows westward.

g) Water
The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission
facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality
standards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Standard.
Applicants may also be required to participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-
set program the City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building penn it issuance.
Comments: An NPDES permit is not required for the proposed project and water quality will not be
jeopardized. The Sweetwater Authority has indicated that if a fire sprinkler system is added to this
development (note that required by the Fire Department), the required tire flow can be reduced from
7500 GPM to 3750 GPM. This flow can be met if the developer installs 600 L.F. of 12-inch main in
Broadway, from "K" St. to the mid-point of the proposed development. This is in a section of
Broadway that is currently being reconstructed by the City of Chula Vista. In addition, any required
water services will probably result in the excavation of the newly constructed street. The applicant
will also be required to provide information regarding domestic, irrigation and fire sprinkler water
demands that would expedite these installations prior to the street reconstruction.

Re: Businesshome Village Acoustical study
Dear Ms. citron:
We have conducted an acoustical study for the former Fuller Ford
site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista. Ms. Susan Vandrew
from the Planning Department staff had identified two noi.e
concerns relative to development of the site as proposed. These
concerns were:
1. Exposure of the rear yards of existing residents on Riverlawn
to excessive 8ite activity noise, or,
2. Excessive on-site residential exposure to vehicular noise from
Broadway traffic.
Given the previous use of the site for automotive'and truck repair
and a, body shop in close proximity to the Riverlawn homes, the
question of site suitability for residential use is perhaps more
pertinent than limited "ne,!," 8ite access/eqress noise.
Tasks that were performed to evaluate change. in the noi.e
environment due to project i.plementation included:
1. Site familiarization and obtaining plans and other input data
2. On-site noise .easurements
3. Measurement of parkin9 lot activity noise at a similar mixed
use development in Orange County

4. Evaluation of noise impact potential and identification of any
recommended mitigation
The following discussion summarizes the results of the efforts in
each task.
Project Description
'I'he preliminary site plan for 36 units envisioned two "pads" of 18
live/work businesses and residences separated by a common parking
area. In the revised site plan, dated 05/08/95 and included in
this report, only a small separation between the northern and
southern building exists and two separate parking areas have been
created that are shielded from Riverlawn residence view. In the
current site plan, the intervening 3-story structures between
Riverlawn residences and the parking areas will preclude any
aUdibility of site visitor, vehicular activity. Use of the
perimeter roadway by site residents and by small delivery vehicles
such as package delivery services will be the potential source of
impact. Through the more contiguous building mass screening out
Broadway traffic noise, any small impact from site-related vehicles
may be offset by equal or greater attenuation of existing noise.
Proposed uses for the site are a mixed use concept with owner-
occupied businesses on part of the ground floor of each townhouse
with parking in the rear of the ground floor and two floors of
living space above. Business uses are expected to be small
specialty retail, professional or service-oriented offices and
specialty restaurants such as gourmet coffee, deli sandwiches,
yogurt, etc. No audible noise generation from business use is
expected at the rear of any unit in proximity to adjacent
residences.
On-site lIoi8e Measur_nts
Noise measurements were made at three locations on the project
site. Two sites were along the rear separation wall between the
former dealership and the adjacent residences (one near the former
body shop on the southern one-half of the site, one near the taller
truck repair building on the northern one-half). One monitor was
located 90 feet from the Broadway centerline in a former auto
display area with an unobstructed view of Broadway. Results of
these measurements made on February 23, 1995 near 1 p.m. are
summarized as follows:

Body Shop Area 59.7 66 55
Truok Repair Area 58.9 65 52
These readings were IS-minute energy equivalent averages (LEQ) and
1-second maxima and minima (Lmax, Lmin). City of Chula Vista
standards are expressed in terms of a weighted 24-hour standard
called the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). Our monitoring
experience in a number of Chula vista noise monitoring programs has
been that mid-day LEQs and 24-hour CNELs are often very similar.
For example, a comparison of CNEL and the mid-day noise level at
three sites around Chula vista are as follows:
LBQ CJmL
(Koon-2 pa)
Site 1 64.3 dB 63.6 dB
Site 2 62.7 dB 64.9 dB
site 3 52.2 dB 51.9 dB
The difference between CNEL and mid-day LEQ is often near zero, and
generally fairly small. The baseline readings above are therefore
a reasonable representation of existing noise levels relative to
the city's exterior standard of 65 dB(A) CNEL. The above
comparison suggests that mid-day LEQ noise levels are from 0-2 dB
lower than daily CNELs. At the locations .easured, the former
front display area with a CNEL of 65-67 dB(A) thus currently
slightly exceeds the city standard, while the former rear repair
areas with CNELs of 59-62 dB(A) are well within the city's
quidel1nes. Residences on Rlverlawn backing up to the alt.
protected by the existing wall clearly have a large margin of
safety between the standard and their current noise exposure.

Parking Lot Activity Moise
Noise levels at the edge of a parking lot serving a mixed use
development in Huntington Beaoh were monitored as a prototype for
the off-site levels that oould be expeoted for the former site plan
that had a direct line of sight from the parking area to the rear
yards of Riverlawn homes. The Huntinqton Beaoh facility has qround
floor shops and offioes with upstairs residences in an "Old World"
atmosphere. Businesses inolude restaurants, a deli, retail shops
(especially ethnic wares), travel agencies, CPAs, a tanning salon,
etc. Tenant and/or owner parkinq is in a separate qarage area, but
otherwise the design concept is similar to the proposed faoility in
Chula Vista.
A sketch of the Huntinqton Beach site plan is attached. Noise
measurements included a distant hum of freeway traffic plus some
arterial roadway contribution. These sources were suffioiently
removed or shielded, however, suoh that parking lot turn-over for
shops and professional offioes was the primary noise contributor.
One-hour measurements at the edge of the parking lot from 12:30 -
1:30 p.m. when there is an active lunch traffic were as follows:
LEQ - 59.7 dB
LMAX "" 81.0 dB
Lmin - S1. 5 dB
Because the traffic peaks during the day with little nocturnal
activity, CNEL is likely several dB lower than mid-day LEQ. If the
property line CNEL were 57 dB (A) , and this noise level were
superimposed upon the 59-62 dB(A) CNEL ourrently experienced at the
fenceline of the Riverlawn homes, the oombined level would be 61-63
dB (A) CNEL. The former plot plan with the parking area exposed to
view by the residences, even without any noise reduction credit for
a rear property wall, would not cause City of Chula Vista standards
to be exceeded. With the revised plot plan, the parking lot
activity noise exposure to off-site residents 1s a moot point. Its
only issue would be as to how much on-site vehicular activity will
be audible to project site upper story residents.

Access Road Noise
As a worst-case assumption, each unit was assumed to generate 10
daily trips (five outbound and five inbound) along the perimeter
access. At 25 mph, with 10% of traffic at night, the traffic noise
in the absence of any barrier is 50 dB(A) CNEL in the rear yards of
the adjacent residences assuming that the proposed homes are
perfect reflectors. A level of 50 dB is not perceptible within an
existing backqround of around 60 dB. By creating a more contiguous
3-story barrier to screen out existing traffic noise from Broadway,
the noise reduction achieved by the project will far more than
compensate any small noise increment created by resident and minor
delivery vehicle traffic on the townhome perimeter rOad.
The above calculations are for no separation wall between the
project and existing Riverlawn residences. No wall is needed to
meet noise standards. A wall may be desirable for privacy,
security, aesthetics or other reasons, but it is not a necessary
project component to JI1eet noise standards. Because inclusion of a
wall is not noise-driven, the height is sOJl1ewhat immaterial. Any
height above 5 feet will reduce the perception at adjacent homes of
individual vehicles passing through the rear "alley", but only
creates an additional margin of safety relative to already meeting
city of Chula Vista standards.
On-Site Noise Exposure
siting of residential uses on a commercial corridor does have
possible noise iJl1plications. Existing measured noise levels
(estimated from short-term, daytiJl1e readings) at 90 feet from the
Broadway centerline are 65-67 dB(A) CNEL. Projected increases in
traffic volumes on Broadway are small SUCh that noise "qrowth" 1s
forecast to be only an additional 0.5 dB(A) CNEL. With the facade
of the closest project buildings somewhat closer than the gO-foot
JI1easurement distance, a maximum future exterior noise level of 69
dB(A) CNEL is forecast for the units closest to Broadway. The
sides of the closest buildings to Broadway will exceed the City
standard by 4 dB. The front and back of the closest unit will only
be exposed to one-half of the traffic. Limits in the field of view
to 50% of the traffic flow will create a 66 dB(A) CNEL exposure at
the corner of the nearest unit. Within the width of one unit,
noise levels decrease by 1+ dB to create a sub-65 dB(A) CNEL at the
exterior of all units except the four closest to Broadway. The 65
dB(A) CNEL contour approximately bisects the closest unit.
City standards for noise at any usable exterior recreational space
is 65 dB(A) CNEL. state standards for interiors of multiple family

units is 45 dB(A) CNEL. Exterior to interior noise attenuation
with standard construction practice is 20 dB as long as windows are
closed. All units except the four closest to Broadway will have
exteriors of less than 65 dB(A) CNEL. Their decks and porches will
meet City exterior standards without any supplementary noise
protection. Their interior levels will be below 45 dB(A) CNEL as
long as residents can close their windows to shut out the noise.
The ability to close the window requires an auxiliary Source of
ventilation. This requirement is stated in the USC in Section
l205(c) which requires sufficient mechanical ventilation to create
two air changes per hour (ACPH). one-fifth of this air supply has
to be fresh outside make-up air. A whole-house fan in a central
heating unit generally far exceeds this requirement if the system
has a "Fan Only" option.
At the four end units abutting on Broadway, a somewhat enhanced
level Of noise control is required. Exterior exposure for the
front balconies of these units is 65 dB(A) CNEL. The rear deck is
shielded by the protrusion of the second floor family room such
that the deck outside the kitchen door will also have a noise level
within city of Chula Vista standards. No exterior noise mitigation
is required. The front balcony at 65 df:l(A) CNEL may not be
conducive to relaxing conversation at these units, but does not
require any supplementary noise control.
The interior of the four units closest to Broadway is thus the only
possible location where standard design practice may not be able to
achieve a reduction trom 69 dB(A) CNEL on the facade to a 45 dB(A)
CNEL in the interior. With planned windows tacing Broadway, the
noise leakage for a standard window may be sliqhtly inadequate.
Based on preliminary room qeometrics, we have run the Interior
Noise Analysis (INA) model. Use of slightly upgraded windows
(dual-paned sliders or a thicker glass) with a Sound Transmission
Class (STC) of 25 or higher will allow the interior standard of 45
dB(A) CNEL to be readily met.
8n---7/Recu.dendations
our findings are as follows:
1. A rear property wall is not necessary for noise protection. xt
is anticipated, however, that the existing rear wall, with some
cosmetic improvement, will be retained. Maintaining a minimum
wall height of 5 feet above project grade is recommended.

3. East facing windows in the four end units that faoe Broadway

is typically achieved by use of a thicker glass or by a dual-

Thank you for providing information on the above-referenced project for our
review and comment.
This project is located in the Mueller School attendance area. This school is
a five track year-round school, operating substantially above capacity. In
order to accommodate children resulting from this project, the District
requests that this project annex to Community Facilities District (CFD) NO.5.
Attached is a copy of a previous response to IS-95-03 on September 1,

Re: 15-95-03/ FA-657 I DQ-111
Project: 36 Attached Residential Units With Commercial Space
Location: 760 Broadway
Dear Mr. Monaco:
"
This is to advise you that'the above mentioned proposed project located at
760 Broadway, is within the Chula Vista Elementary School District which
serves children from Kindergarten through Grade 6.
District enrollment has been increasing at the rate of 2-112 - 3 percent over
the past several years, and this is projected to continue. Permanent
capacity has been exceeded at many schools and temporary relocatable
classrooms are being utilized to accommodate increased enrollments. The
District also buses students outside their attendance areas, both to
accommodate growth and assist in achieving ethnic balance.
State law currently provides for a developer fee of $1.72 per square foot of
assessable area to assist in financing facilities needed to serve growth. The
fee is split between the two school districts with our district receiving
$.76/sq. ft. and Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) receiving
$. 96/sq. ft. This fee is assessed for new construction and
additions/remodels of over 500 square feet. The State law also provides for
a developer fee of $.28 for non-residential (any new commercial space
proposed for the first floor) to be charged. The fee split is $.13 for our
district with SUHSD receiving the balance of $.15 per sq. ft.
.' .., ~ '. _ .' r
Since developer fees currently allowed""' llrtder State law provide
approximately twenty-five percent of the facilities costs to house new
students, the District encourages developer participation in alternative
~ .
. .
Septerr"<;!r - 1994
Mr. JOl. .lonClco

.
.
financing mechanisms to help assure that facilities will be available to serve
children generated by new construction. We are currently utilizing
Community Facilities Districts (CFD's) as one method to help fund this
shortfall. Participation in a CFD is in lieu of developer fees, with school
mitigation paid by the homeowner in the form of a special tax.
The subject project is located in the Mueller School attendance area. This
school is presently operating over capacity, and an alternative financing
mechanism, such as participation in or annexation to a CFD is
recommended.
If you have any questions, please contact this office.

Dear Ms. Vandrew:
Re: IS-95-3/Broadway Business Homes Village
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Initial Study prepared for the
above subject project. It is located in the Chula Vista Junior and Chula Vista
High School attendance areas. According to the CBEDS enrollment taken on
October 12, 1994, Chula Vista High is operating at 112 percent capacity and
Chula Vista Junior High School is at 99 percent. Any increase in enrollment at
these schools will impact the facilities.
The .proposed mixed use project has the potential to add approximately twenty-
one new students to the District (fourteen high school and seven junior high
school students). The District's student yield rates are 0.19 students per
household for high school and 0.10 students per household for middle school.
The project's impact can be shown as follows:
USE UNITS/AREA CHULA VISTA JR. CHULA VISTA HIGH TOTAL
Residential 36 Units 3.6 6.84 10.44
Commercial 34,620 sq. ft. 3.6 6.84 10.44
Total 7.2 13.68 21
Ms. Susan Vandrew
January 4, 1995
Page Two
The commercial impact has been derived using a SourcePoint Study prepared in
1990 which specifically analyzes non-residential development's impact to
schools. Enclosed for your reference is the worksheet used to estimate the
impact the commercial portion of the project may have on the District.
The District has traditionally responded to such projects by urging the City not to
approve them unless they're conditioned such that they are annexed into a
Mello-Roos Community Facilities District. However, the District and the City has
reached an understanding that the projects within the redevelopment areas
would not be placed in a Mello-Roos District. Rather, mitigation will be
consistent with the recommendations accepted by the District after the
completion of the current SourcePoint Study of non-residential development's
impact to schools.
This project's impact should be fully mitigated. The District requests that its
mitigation be consistent with the recommendations which arise from the new
SourcePoint Study undertaken by the City of Chula Vista, Sweetwater Union
High School District and the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 691-5553.

Dear Mr. Monaco:
Re: Broadway Business Home VlRaQe/Mixed Use Project
J6 Un", with CommercIal Use
The above subject proposed project will Impact the Sweetwater Union High
School District. Payment of school fees does not adequately mitigate the
anticipated costs to provide classroom space, The present maximum fee rate of
$1. 72 per square foot of residential area and $0.28 per square foot of
commercial area .account for less than one-third the cost. Because of this.
whenever possible. the District requests that the applicant fully mitigate project
Impacts, This project's participation In the District's Community Facilities District
No.5 would satisfactorily mitigate Its Impacts to schools.
I request that the City of Chula Vista condition any approval such that all school
facility issues are resolved to the District's satisfaction.

Subject: WATER AVAILABILITY
PROPOSED MIXED USE RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL PROJECT
760 BROADWAY
CASE NO: IS-95-03
SWA Gen. File: Water Availability, 1995
Dear Mr. Reid:
This letter is in response to your Notice of Initial study for the
subject project within the Sweetwater Authority service area. There
is a 8-inch water main located on the east side of Broadway
adjacent to the proposed development. Our records indicate that
there are four water services to this property. Enclosed is a copy
of 1/4 SEC. 164 map which shows the existing water facilities.
At this time, we cannot comment on the adequacy of the existing
system to provide fire protection for this project. As plans
develop for structures, the Owner must submit a letter to the
Authority from the appropriate fire agency stating fire flow
requirements. Based on this requirement, this project may result
in the need for new water systems or substantial alteration to the
existing water system. The Authority recommends that your Agency
work with ours to determine if the existing water facilities are
adequate to meet the added demands prior to issuing a building
permit.
Also, the Authority is concerned that the timing for this project
will be such that the installation of new services and the
abandonment of existing services will take place after this portion
of Broadway has been reconstructed. The Authority's main is
located on the east side of the street which will require trenching
across the entire newly':'constructed street. In addition, the
installation of services will be very costly due to the thickness
of the new pavement.

If the Owner provides the required fire flow information and enters
into an agreement for water facility improvements with the
Authority, water service can be obtained at a pressure ranging from
a maximum of 85 p.s.i. to a minimum of 75 p.s.i.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Russell Collins at

Subject: CHULA VISTA FIRE FLOW AVAILABILITY
760 BROADWAY
SWA DEV. FILE: CITRON MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Citron:
The 7500 GPM fire flow at 20 p.s.i. residual pressure for a 2-hour
duration, as required by the city of Chula Vista Fire Department,
is not available to serve the above-referenced project. The
Authority does not feel that this requirement can be met without
millions of dollars of upgrades to the existing water
infrastructure. The maximum available fire flow with no upgrades
to the system is approximately 2800 GPM.
The fire department has indicated that if a fire sprinkler system
is added to this development, the required fire flow can be reduced
to 3750 GPM. This flow can be met if the developer installs 600
L.F. of l2-inch main in Broadway, from "K" St. to the mid-point of
the proposed ~velopment. This is in a section of Broadway that is
currently bei 9 reconstructed by the city of Chula Vista. In
addition, any required water services will probably result in the
excavation of the newly constructed street. Also, we have no
information regarding domestic, irrigation and fire sprinkler water
demands that would expedite these installations prior to the street
reconstruction.
Very truly yours,
SWEETWATER AUTHORITY
