PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~
Meeting Date 5/10/95
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit PCC-95-22; Request to establish
an automobile maintenance facility at the southwest comer of 30th Street
and Edgemere Avenue - Econo Lube n' Tune.
The proposal is to construct an automobile maintenance facility on 0.60 acres at the southwest
comer of 30th street and Edgemere Avenue in the C-C-P (Central Commercial with Precise
Plan) zone. The consideration of this request is contingent upon approval of a zoning text
amendment to allow such facilities to be considered by conditional use permit in the C-C zone,
which is the preceding item on the agenda (PCA-95-04).
The Environmental Review Coordinator has conducted an Initial Study, IS-95-16, of possible
environmental impacts associated with the project. Based on the attached Initial Study and
comments thereon, the Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that there would be
no significant environmental effects, and therefore recommends adoption of the Negative
Declaration issued on IS-95-16.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution PCC-95-22
approving the permit in accordance with the findings and subject to the conditions contained
therein.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Design Review Committee will
consider the site plan and architecture for the project on May 8, 1995 (DRC-95-34). The results
of that meeting will be reported to the Commission at the public hearing.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The site is triangular in shape and has been cleared and graded for development. The
property is bounded by a drainage channel and the Food-4-Less market to the west,
vacant I-L zoned property and SR-54 to the south, and the Town and Country
commercial center in National City to the east.
2. Proposal
The proposal is to develop the property with a 2,500 sq.ft. Econo Lube n' Tune facility
to include general lubrication and tune-up services, plus brake, air conditioning and
radiator service. The building contains a total of six service bays; three thru-bays which
open at both ends and are oriented towards Edgemere Avenue, and three shop bays
Page 2, Item 2
Meeting Date 5/10/95
which open to the northwest toward the drainage channel. The site also provides eight
off-street parking spaces and associated circulation areas served by a single access drive
from Edgemere Avenue.
The operation will involve four employees, and consist of lubrication and oil service,
engine tune-up, brake service and replacement, air conditioning and radiator service, and
smog testing. Hours of operation are from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. seven days a week.
3. Analvsis
Provided the Commission supports the enabling text amendment, we believe this is an
appropriate site for a Lube n' Tune facility. It is at a convenient location for the
consumer, and is abutting compatible commercial uses to the west and east. All work
will occur within the service bays, which are separated from the closest dwellings
(located some 250 feet to the north) by the Food-4-Less loading facilities and 30th Street.
The Negative Declaration has found there would be no significant noise impacts.
The primary concern of staff is with the appearance of the building and site. For
instance, the irregular shape of the property has necessitated orienting the lubrication
tbru-bays toward the street frontage in order to provide adequate stacking areas for these
high-turnover bays. The appropriate screening of these open service bays from the street
is an important design issue, as is the overall design and articulation of the building. The
National City planning staff share our concerns with design, and these issues will be
addressed by the Design Review Committee at their meeting of May 8, 1995. The
Committee's action will be reported to the Commission at the public hearing.
Based on the factors noted above, we are recommending approval of the request in
accordance with attached Resolution PCC-95-22.
Comments we have received on the proposal from other City departments and the City
of National City are attached for information only.

PROJECT APPLICANT:
Econo Lube 'n' Tune, Inc.
CASE NO: lS-95-16
DATE: February 7, 1995
A. Proiect Setting
The project site is a portion of a previously graded site. The total site is 5.77 acres located
at the southwest corner of 30th Street and Edgemere Avenue. A 26,920 square foot portion
of the site, east of the Food 4 Less market currently under construction, is proposed for the
automotive maintenance facility. This site is bordered by 30th Street to the immediate north,
and Edgemere A venue to the east. Land uses adjacent to the subject property include the
Sweetwater Town & County Shopping Center to the east, across Edgemere Drive, single
family residences and the National City Municipal Golf Course to the north and Sweetwater
River to the south. The site is located within the 100-year Flood Zone Boundary.
B. Proiect Description
A 2,502 square foot automotive maintenance facility is proposed on a 286,920 square foot.
portion of the project site. The applicant proposes 8 parking spaces onsite. Hours of
operation are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p..m. Primary access to the site is from Edgemere with
secondary access available through the Food 4 Less access on 30th Street.
A large rectangular concrete culvert to convey water from 30th Street bisects the property
diagonally toward the eastern portion of the site. The current discretionary action is a
conditional use permit for an automotive maintenance facility and Design Review.
Previously, the entire site was considered through Design Review. At that time
environmental review was completed and a Negative Declaration was issued (IS-94-15). The
previous environmental rtview is incorporated into this document by reference.
A portion of the site is located within the 100-year floodplain and the 500 year floodplain.
It is unknown what impact the Army Corps of Engineers and Caltrans channel improvements
have had on the floodplain elevations. The applicant will be required to build one foot above.
the floodplain or to floodproof the construction. This requirement will reduce impacts to
below a level of significance. The Food 4 Less construction plans include a system to collect
onsite drainage from both the Food 4 Less and Beono Lube 'n' Tune. Off-site drainage
systems are adequate. The Landscape Architect requires minimum landscaping per tq~! I.

building sewer agreement between Chula Vista and National City for sewer service
(connection to National City sewer) has been approved by both cities and a sewer connection
permit is issued by the City of National City. Also the agreement between Chula Vista.
National City and Canyon-Cahan Properties dated 11/8/94 provides that a new agreement will
be required for this development. The existing soils report needs to be updated to reflect the
proposed development conditions which include a lube pit below grade.
Noise
There is the potential for noise impacts from the automotive diagnostic and repair equipment
used in conjunction with the automotive maintenance use. Conditions to reduce this potential
impact have been included in the proposed Code Amendment for the use. The condition
would require all work to be conducted within a building. The proposed Econo Lube 'n'
Tune will comply with the conditions in the proposed code amendment which will reduce any
potential impact to a level below significance.
Land Use
The proposed use is not currently permitted in the CCP zone. There is an amendment to the
Municipal Code proposed in conjunction with this project that would permit automotive
maintenance facilities in the CCP zone with a conditional use permit. Adoption of the code
amendment will reduce any potential land use impacts to a level below significance.
Hazardous Materials
Automotive maintenance facilities provide a variety of automotive services including oil
changes, lubrication services, etc. There is the potential for the hazardous materials
associated with these services (used motor oil, etc.) to contaminate ground water if it is not
stored and disposed of properly. Conditions to address this situation have been included in
the draft Code Amendment. If adopted as proposed, these conditions would be imposed as
standard conditions on every CUP for Automotive Maintenance which would reduce any
potential impact to less than significant.
C. Comoatibility with Zoning and Plans
The General Plan designates the site as "Retail Commercial" and the zoning is "Central
Commercial" with a precise plan (CCP). As previously discussed, there is an amendment
to the Municipal Code proposed that would permit automotive maintenance facilities in the
CCP zone with a conditional use permit. Provided the amendment is adopted, the project
is compatible with the zoning and General Plan designation.
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
An initial study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached Environmental
Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project will not have a significant
environmental effect, and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report will not be
required. This Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070
of the State CEQA Guidelines.

A portion of the site is located within the 100-year floodplain and the 500 year floodplain. It is
unknown what impact the Army Corps of Engineers and Caltrans channel improvements have had
on the floodplain elevations. The applicant will be required to build one foot above the floodplain
or to floodproof the construction. This requirement will reduce the possibility of impacts to below
a level of significance. The Food 4 Less construction plans include a system to collect onsite
drainage from both the Food 4 Less and Econo Lube 'n' Tune. Off-site drainage systems are
adequate.
Automotive maintenance facilities provide a variety of automotive services including oil changes,
lubrication services, etc. There is the potential for the hazardous materials associated with these
services (used motor oil, etc.) to contaminate ground water if it is not stored and disposed of
properly. Conditions to address this situation have been included in the draft Code Amendment and
would be imposed on the proposed Econo Lube 'n' Tune. The incorporation of this code amendment
would reduce the potential impact to less than significant. Improper handling and storage of
hazardous substances other than tanks is regulated by Chapter 6.5 of the California Health and Safety
Code, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. Release from underground storage tanks is
governed by the California Health and Safety Code 6.75 and the Calif. Code of Regulations, Title
23, Article II. The cleanup of groundwater contamination from sources other than tanks is governed
by the Porter-Cologne Act.

There is the potential for increased noise levels from diagnostic and automotive repair tools. The
proposed code amendment for automotive facilities requires that all work be conducted within the
building. In addition, the proposed use is shielded from the residences to the north by the Food 4
Less Market and is of a substantial distance from all adjacent uses to reduce any potential noise
increases to less than significant.
7.
Light and Glare. Will the proposal produce
new light or glare?
YES MAYBE NO
D . D
(b:\Intchk.nd)
Page 7
Comments:
The proposed project will result in new light and glare however, compliance with all code
requirements will ensure that it will not negatively impacts homes across 30th Street. In addition,
the Food 4 Less market will shield the light and glare from this site's parking lot.

Land Use, Will the proposal result in a
substantial alteration of the present or
planned land use of an area?
YES MAYBE NO
D
.
D
Comments:
The General Plan designates the site as "Retail Commercial" and the zoning is "Central Commercial"
with a precise plan (CCP). There is an amendment to the Municipal Code proposed in conjunction
with this project that would permit automotive maintenance facilities in the CCP zone with a
conditional use permit. Provided the amendment is adopted, the project is compatible with the
zoning and General Plan designation.

Comments:
There is a potential for hazardous material to enter ground water if not stored and disposed of
correctly. As discussed in Section 3(g), there is a potential for hazardous materials to contaminate
ground water. Conditions to address this situation have been included in the draft Code Amendment
and would be imposed on the proposed Econo Lube 'n' Tune, which would reduce the potential
impact to less than significant. Improper handling and storage of hazardous materials other than
tanks is regulated by Chapter 6.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, Title 22 of the
California Code of Regulations. Release from underground storage tanks is governed by the
California Health and Safety Code 6.75 and the Calif. Code of Regulations, Title 23, Article 11.
The cleanup of groundwater contamination from sources other than tanks is governed by the Porter-
Cologne Act. There is no additional potential impact beyond those already discussed.

16.
Thresholds, WilI the proposal adversely impact
the City's Threshold Standards?
YES MAYBE NO
D D .
Conunents:
As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seven 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
wilI be met, since the nearest fire station is in (National City) is 2 miles away and
would be associated with a 4 minute response time. The proposed project will
comply with this Threshold Standard.
According to IS-94-l5, the fire flow is 2375 gallons per day. The necessary hydrants
to protect the site are being provided in conjunction with the market development.
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
I 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.
C. Traffic
The Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "0"
may occur during the peak two hours of the day at 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.
Page 11
(b:\lntchk.nd)
IS-94-l5 included traffic circulation mitigations which will be provided as part of the
development of the Food 4 Less market. No additional improvements will be
required for this project.
D. Parks/Recreation
The Threshold Standard for Parks and Recreation does not apply to the proposed
project as it is a commercial project.
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.
Site specific drainage improvements were required as a part of the Food 4 Less
market development. These improvements consist of collection facilities for drainage
to convey runoff to Paradise Creek Channel and/or the historic channel of the
Sweetwater River. An NPDES permit for stormwater discharges associated with
construction activities will be required because the project is part of a larger common
plan of development or sale that exceeds 5 acres in soil disturbance.
Off-site drainage facilities consist of the Sweetwater River to the south and Army
Corps of Engineers/Caltrans Channel between east and west bound lanes of SR-54.
These are adequate for the proposed project.
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 following the implementation of the
following: an agreement between the City of Chula Vista and the City of National
City. This agreement has been approved by the City of National City Council and
is pending approval by the City of Chula Vista Council. Occupancy of the Econo
Lube 'n' Tune will not be permitted until such time as the agreement is completed.
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 upon compliance with the following
requirements: the owner must submit a letter to the authority from the appropriate
fire agency stating fire flow requirements. 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.

YES MAYBE NO
a.
Creation of any health hazard or potential
health hazard (excluding mental health?
o
.
o
b.
Exposure of people to potential health
hazards?
o
.

Comments:
There is a potential for hazardous material to enter ground water if not stored and disposed of
correctly. As discussed in Section 3(g), there is a potential for hazardous materials to contaminate
ground water. Conditions to address this situation have been included in the draft Code Amendment
and would be imposed on the proposed Econo Lube 'n' Tune, which would reduce the potential
impact to less than significant. Correct storage and disposal of motor oils is implemented by the
County Hazardous Waste Division who are responsible for implementing the California Health and
Safety Code, Chapter 6.5, Title 22 - California Code of Regulations. Improper handling and storage
of hazardous substances other than tanks is regulated by Chapter 6.5 of the California Health and
Safety Code, Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations. Release from underground storage
tanks is governed by the California Health and Safety Code 6.75 and the Calif. Code of Regulations,
Title 23, Article II. The cleanup of groundwater contamination from sources other than tanks is
governed by the Porter-Cologne Act. There is no additional potential impact beyond those already
discussed.
18. Aesthetics. Will the proposal result in: YES MAYBE NO
a. The obstruction of any scenic vista or view
open to the public, or will the proposal
result in the creation of an aesthetically
offensive site open to public view? 0 0 .
b. The destruction, or modification of a scenic route? 0 0 .
Comments:
As the project is required to go through the Design Review Committee for approval, the aesthetics
of the property should be a positive impact.

Mandatory Findings of Significance,
YES MAYBE NO
a.
Does the project have the potential to degrade the
quality of the environment, substantially reduce
the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause
a fish or wildlife population to drop below self
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant
animal or eliminate important examples or the
major periods of California history or prehistory?
D
D
.
(b:\Intchk.nd)
Page 14
Comments:
Previously an environmental impact report was prepared for the site and the mitigation for biological
and cultural impacts implemented. The project was than abandoned and the site remain in a vacant
graded state for some time. The site is now under construction with a Food 4 Less Market, the
subject of 15-94-15. The current proposal as well as the current construction does not have the
potential to degrade the quality of the environment, reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species
or cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self sustaining levels.
Comments:
b.
Does the project have the potential to achieve
short-term goals to the disadvantage of long-
term, environmental goals? (A short-term
impact on the environment is one which occurs in
a relatively brief, definitive period of time,
while long-term impacts will endure well into the
future.)
.
D
D
With the compliance with City codes and regulations and required procedures, specifically processing
a Municipal Code Amendment to allow the use within the proposed zone, review of the project
through the Design Review process, doing all work within a enclosed building and properly disposing
of hazardous materials, the project will achieve both short-term goals and long-term environmental
goals.
Comments:
c.
Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited, but cumulatively
considerable? (A project may impact two or
more separate resources where the impact on
each resource is relatively small, but where the
effect of the total of those impacts on the
environment is significant.)
.
D
D
The environmental analysis determined that all proposed impacts may be mitigated to below a level
of significance and there are no impacts which are individually limited but cumulatively considerable.
Comments:
d.
Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly or indirectly?
D
.
D
The project, upon compliance with all City requirements does not have the potential to cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings.

RE: 15-95-16/ FA-665/ DQ-143
Applicant: Econo Lube 'N' Tune
Location: 2nd Avenue (Edgemere) and 30th Street
Dear Mr. Reid:
This is to advise you that the project, located at the Second Avenue and 30th
Street, is within the Chula Vista Elementary School District which serves children
from Kindergarten through Grade 6. Rosebank School is the home school for
this project.
District enrollment has been increasing at the rate of 3-4 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 $.28 for non-residential area
to be charged (Chula Vista Elementary School District - $.13/square foot;
Sweetwater Union High School District - $.15/square foot) to assist in financing
facilities needed to serve growth.
If you have any questions, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
Nl ~~Ov--
Kate Shurson
Director of Planning & Facilities

SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 30TH STREET AND NORTH 2ND AVENUE
CASE NO: IS-95-l6 & PCC-95-22
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 l6-inch water main located on the north side of 30th
street and an a-inch main on the east side of North 2nd Avenue
adjacent to the proposed development. Our records indicate that
there are two water services to this property. Enclosed is a copy
of 1/4 SEC. 134 map which shows the existing water facilties.
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.
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 95 p.s.i. to a minimum of aD p.s.i.
A Public Agency.

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PLANS FOR AN ECONO LUBE AND TUNE FACILITY AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF EAST 30TH STREET AND NORTH 2ND
AVENUE
Thank you for the draft staff reports and revised plans received on April 19th. The plans show
some improvement to the building design. However, I share your concern for the overall
appearance of the building. Additional architectural treatment, including wall plane and roofline
variation, is needed to avoid the building's boxlike appearance. Also, architectural treatment
similar to that along the front of the building (e.g., stucco elements, false columns) should be
carried around to the back to improve its appearance from State Route 54.
The orientation of the building and driveway opening is also of concern since the bays will be
highly visible from North Second Avenue. Benns, dense planting and lor screen walls will
reduce the visibility of the bays somewhat.
The project applicant indicates he will be requesting connection to the National City sewer
system. Authorization for that request will require City Council approval.
Please call me at 336-4310 if you have any questions.
