The proposed site is surrounded by three retail shopping centers and the existing Eastlake Community Church to the west, multi-family and single-family homes Page 4, Item: Meeting Date: 06/16/04 to the south, Kindercare Daycare center to the northwest, Fire Station No. 6 to the east, and a storage unit facility to the north. The site is located on a visible comer at the edge of the industrial zone. The proposed uses will not interfere with the surrounding commercial or industrial businesses, since most of the uses are compatible with the church and daycare facility, or has the same proposed use on their uses. The lot has sufficient size to accommodate the proposed uses as well as outdoor activities for the children. No existing changes will occur to the exterior of the building, which is visibly compatible with the surrounding office and industrial buildings to the north and east of the subj ect site. This project is consistent with the General Plan and the Eastlake Business Center District, BC-I Manufacturing Service Zone. Approval of the project requires compliance with the applicable codes and regulations, and all conditions must be satisfied prior to the final building inspection or occupancy. Church The church services conducted during the weekends shall provide a need for the growing population in the eastern portion of the city.

There is adequate drop off area designated for the children in the parking lot in rront of the main entrances. The Home Base program helps to address the needs of working parents with grade school age children by providing a before and after school care. By utilizing the carpool vans to transport the children to and rrom school helps to reduce traffic within the area. The pick up time for parents are staggered between a four hour time rrame as to not increase additional traffic. The preschool and kindergarten classes provide an alternative to public schools and could help to reduce the traffic within the area of the public schools. Shared Parking/Playground Area The total number of parking spaces provided on the site is adequate for all of the proposed uses. The 182 parking spaces meets the minirnum requirements in order to have a maximum 637 persons occupancy within the sanctuary for the church seryices during the weekends.

WHEREAS, a duly verified application for a conditional use permit was filed with the City of Chula Vista Planning Department on March 22, 2004, by Audrey Ruland on behalf of the Eastlake Community Church; and WHEREAS, said applicant requests permission to allow a church and a daycare facility in an existing building and associated parking lot located in the Eastlake Business Center District, BC-1 Manufacturing Service Zone; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1, Section 15301, existing facilities, pursuant to the State CEQA guidelines and no further environmental review is necessary; and WHEREAS, the Planning Director set the time and place for a hearing on said Conditional Use Permit and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city and its mailing to property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property at least 10 days prior to the hearing; and WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely June 16, 2004, at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning Commission and said hearing was thereafter closed; and WHEREAS, after considering all reports, evidence, and testimony presented at said public hearing with respect to the conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission voted to approve the conditional use permit; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of conditional use permits, as herein below set forth, and sets forth, there under, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made. 1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the community. The requested uses will take place within an existing office building and associated parking lot surrounded by commercial and residential uses. This proposal will provide additional services and amenities for the existing Eastlake Community Church located on the adjacent parcel at 2351 Otay Lakes Road. With the daily increase of homes being constructed within the Eastlake area, further expansion of the chW'ch and daycare facility is necessary to meet the growing need of the community. Currently there are over 100 students on the waiting list to enroll in the school and programs. By occupying this building, the chW'ch will be able to provide service for 105 children for the daycare and Home Base program, and 110 children for the preschool and kindergarten schoo1. The proposed church and daycare facility uses will not adversely impact the uses in the Eastlake Business Center District, BC-l Manufacturing Service. 2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The church and daycare facility will not have a detrimental impact upon the surrounding business or residential neighborhoods. The existing building was used as an office for medical and dental professionals. The environmental review detennined that traffic generated by the facility would be significantly less than that generated by the previous tenant of the building (Kaiser Medical). Trips generated by the proposed chW'ch and daycare facility would not warrant the completion of a traffic impact report. Therefore the project qualifies for a Class 1, categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 ( existing facilities) pW'suant to the State CEQA guidelines. So, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the heath, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. The site is located on a visible corner at the edge of the Business District and is surrounded by three retail shopping centers and the existing Eastlake Community Church to the west, multi-family and single-family homes to the south, Kindercare Daycare center to the northwest, Fire Station No.6 to the east, and a storage unit facility to the north. The site is located on a visible corner at the edge of the industrial zone. The proposed uses will not interfere with the surrounding commercial or industrial businesses, since most of the uses are compatible with the chW'ch and daycare facility, or has the same proposed use on their uses. All church services shall be conducted in the evening and weekends. The daycare facility shall operation during the specified time frame per Condition No.7. 3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code for such use. The conditional approval ofPCC-04-051 requires compliance with all conditions, codes and regulations, as applicable, prior to the final issuance of any permit for or occupancy of any new building on the property. The Planning Commission finds that the request meets the code requirements as follows: (A) The Chula Vista Municipal Code defines a church as an unc1assified use. (B) The Eastlake Business Center District, BC-l Manufacturing Service Zone defines a daycare facility as a public and semi-public use. (C) The number of parking spaces provided are adequate for the proposed uses. (D) There is adequate drop off area designated for the daycare facility.
