BACKGROUND
During the past few months, the Planning Commission has been reviewing different
elements of the proposed Redevelopment Plan Amendment, which proposes to (1)
consolidate the redevelopment plans for the Town Centre II, Otay Valley. Southwest
Redevelopment Constituent Area into one plan, (2) consolidate the redevelopment plans
for the Bayfront and Town Centre I Redevelopment Areas into one plan, (3) add
approximately 550 acres of property located along the commercial and industrial
corridors of the western part of the City, and (4) re-establish the authority to use eminent
domain in the Town Centre II and Otay Valley Redevelopment Areas.
One of the important elements of this process is the preparation, review and certifications
of an Environmental Impact Report pursLlant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This report has been prepared and was made
available for public review for a 45-day period, which started on August 25, 2003 and ends
on October 8. 2003.
Pursuant to City policy, the Planning Commission is tasked with closing the public review
and comment period. Tonight's action by the pianning commission is to consider any
public comments and subsequently officially close the public review period.

ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit. PCC-03-77, to
allow a Dwelling Group consisting of two detached single-family dwelling
units on a single 10t located at 1168 Alpine Avenue.
The app1icant, Miguel Hernandez, has submitted an application requesting approval of a
conditional use permit for a Dwelling Group at the property known as 1168 Alpine Avenue.
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 (a), categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (new construction) of the State
CEQA guidelines. No further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the P1anning Commission adopt the
attached Resolution PCC-03-77, approving a conditional use permit for a Dwelling Group in the
R-I-5P zone based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
I. Site Characteristics
The property is a 10,472 sq. ft. lot located on the west side of Alpine Avenue between First and
Second Avenues (see Locator). The site is essentially flat and contains a single-family dwelling.
The uses adjacent to the property include single-family dwellings, severa1 which are two single-
family dwellings on one parcel.

3. Proposal
The proposed Dwelling Group consists of two dwelling units on a 10,475 square foot lot
designated R-I-5P, in a neighborhood with several similar parcels as the proposed dwelling
group. The 10t is presently occupied by an existing single-family home within the front 5,000
square feet of the lot. The second dwelling unit is proposed to be built in the rear 5,000 square
feet with access from Alpine Avenue via a concrete drive along the south side of the property.
(See Attached Site Plan).

The existing and proposed dwelling units square footage is as follows:
EXISTING
House: 755 sq. ft.
Proposed Add. 328 sq. ft.
Garage 434 sq. ft.
PROPOSED
Second Dwelling: 1,694 sq. ft
Garage: 420 sq. ft
Total:
1,517 sq. ft.
Total
2.1 14 sq. ft.
The new single-family residence will match the existing single-family residence in color and
material. As part of this proposal the applicant will stucco and paint the existing residence the
same color as the new residence to ensure that there will be conformity of all structures on the
lot.
ANALYSIS:
The dwelling group is proposed in a Single-Family Residence (R-I-5P) zone. Dwelling Groups,
defined by the CVMC as "a group of two or more detached buildings used for dwelling purposes
located on any parcel of land in one ownership and having any yard or court in common," are
permitted in the R-I zone with a Conditional Use Permit and are subject to the provisions of
CVMC 19.58.130 (Attachment 3). The project, as proposed, is consistent with those provisions
as follows:
A. The area of the lot devoted to each structure is as follows:
Rear 10t: 5,040 sq. ft.,
Front lot 5,432 sq. ft., inc1uding 1,335 sq. ft. for access driveway and one guest parking
space. Because the two units share a common access driveway, it can be determined that
the required 5,000 sq. ft. for the front lot has been met.
B. Each dwelling unit will be connected to a gravity sewer, per condition No.6
C. All on-site utilities will be placed underground per Condition No.4.
D. No garage conversion is proposed.
E. All driveways and guest parking areas will be paved per Condition No.3.
F. The 19-foot width of the access road meets the minimum IS feet required.
G. The project proposed one guest parking space as required for dwellings that are served by
an access roadway.
H. The property does not require grading.
I. The natural slope is less than 10 percent.
J. The units of the dwelling group will comply with the required yards, as listed in the table
below.
K. The units of the dwelling group will comply with the minimum separation as listed in the
tab1e below.

M. Site plan and architectural review for the proposed dwelling group has been provided by
staff and shall be approved by the Planning Commission as part of the Conditional Use
Permit.
N. The proposed sing1e-family dwellings are permitted uses of the R-I-5P zone.
The lot has sufficient size to accommodate the proposed dwellings and provides for adequate
separation between the dwellings. The dwellings are proposed to be architecturally integrated in
terms of design, building materials and colors, and will be compatible with other parcels on the
same street that have two single-family dwellings on one lot.
The Planning Commission, on a previous application at 1198 Alpine Avenue, had expressed
some concern regarding the dwelling group provision and possible impacts on the residential
character of single-family neighborhoods. This application differs from the previous appJication
in that only one additional single-family residence is proposed and it will be set back 112 feet
from the street. The previous application was for three units on one sing1e-family lot, each
fronting Oxford Street. Further, though not a required element of the dwelling group provision,
the proposed project will provide landscaping throughout the site.
The project is consistent with the General Plan and the CVMC. Approval of the project requires
compliance with the applicab1e codes and regulations, and all conditions must be satisfied prior
to issuance of building permits or final inspections whenever applicable.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approval of the application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the dwelling
group at 1168 Alpine Avenue, in accordance with the findings and conditions of approva1 in the
attached Planning Commission Resolution PCC -03-77.

. the general well being of the neighborhood by providing development consistent with the
standards for the neighborhood and housing for the community.
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 lot has sufficient size to accommodate the proposed dwellings, provides adequate
separation between the proposed and surrounding dwellings and provides sufficient space
to accommodated off-street parking. The proposed project will not visually impact the
surrounding area as it is only one additional single-family residence that will be set back

General Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency,
The project, as conditioned, is consistent with the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and
other applicable codes and regulations. The additional proposed detached single-family
residence is compatible with the existing residence on the site and the surrounding land
uses, as well as supports the established goal of The Chula Vista General P1an to provide

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: ~
Meeting Date: 10/08/2003
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit PCC-03-73, proposal to construct an
accessory second dwelling unit at 447 Oxford Street.
Applicant: Javier Nunez
This application is for a 1,194 square foot accessory dwelling on a 13,939 square foot parcel that is
set behind a 6,969 square foot parcel. The application was received on March 3, 2003, prior to the
adoption of the City of Chu1a Vista's existing accessory second unit ordinance, and therefore is
subject to the State Government Code Sections 65852.2(b)( 1)(A) (I).
The Environmental Review Coordinator has concluded that this project is a Class 3( a) categorical
exemption from environmental review (CEQA Section 15303 (a) new construction of small
structures.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution PCC-
03- 73 approving the project based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
I. Site Characteristics
The project site, 447 Oxford Street, is located on the south side of Oxford Street between Fourth and
Fifth Avenue (Attachment 1). The property is a 13,939 square foot level panhandle lot containing
one 2,671 square foot single-family residence. The parcel is set behind a 6,969 square foot parcel of
separate ownership that has an existing one-story single-family residence. Access is currently
provided by a 15-foot concrete driveway. To increasc the overall access driveway to 20 feet, a
reciprocal access agreement has been entered into for an additional 5-foot access. The parcel is
bounded by a 6-foot high masonry wall on each side.
2. Genera1 Plan, Zoning and Land Use
The project is located in theR-I - Single-Family Residential Zone, and has a General Plan Land Use
Designation of Residential Low Medium (3-6 dwelling units per gross acre). Per Government Code
Section 65852.2(b )(5), accessory second dwelling units (either attached or detached) are deemed to
be consistent with the existing General Plan and zoning designations for the lot. Surrounding land
uses and 1and use designations are as follows:

3. Proposal
The proposal is to construct a 1,194 square-foot accessory second dwelling unit behind an existing
2,671 square-foot primary single-family home. The accessory second unit would be in compliance
with state guidelines for cities without adopted Accessory Second Unit Ordinances. Prior to March 4,
2003, a conditional use permit was required in order to allow the city to determine compliance with
the provisions as provided by the state government code. The application for this project was
received March 3, 2003.
The State Government Code states the following: Under Government Code Sections
65852.2(b)( I )(A)-(I):
(h) (J) When a local agency has not adopted an ordinance by JuZv 1, 1983 or within 120 days after
receiving its firsl application, the local agency shall grant a special use or conditional use permit for
the creation of an accessory second unit if the unit complies with all of the/allowing:
(A) The unit is not intended for sale or may he rented.
(B) The lot is zoned for single-familv or multi~family use.
(e) The lot conlains an existing single-familv dwelling.
(D) The accessory second unit is either attaehed or detached and located on the same lot.
(E) The increased floor area of the attached unit does not exceed 30 percent of the existing living
area.
IF) The total area of the detached unit does not exceed 1.200-sq..ft.
(G) Requirements related to height, selback, lot coverage. architectural review, site plan review,
fees. charges. and other zoning requirements generally applicahle to the zone.
(H) Local building code requirements to detached dwellings. as appropriate.
(I) Approval hy local health officer if private sewage disposal system is utilized.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed accessory second unit meets the above criteria, as out1ined below:
(A) The unit is not intended for sale. Selling it apart from the primary residence on the lot would
.;2
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date: 10-08-2003
require subdivision, and the underlying zone for this parccl wou1d not allow that.
(B) The proposed accessory second unit is in a R-I, Single Family Residential Zone.
(C) The proposed 1,194 square foot unit would be constructed on a lot where there is an existing
single-family dwelling.
(D) The accessory second unit is detached and on the same lot.
The total area of the detached accessory second unit will be I, I 94-square- feet.
(E) N/ A (The existing accessory second unit is detached)
(F) The total square footage of the accessory unit does not exceed 1,200 square feet.
(G) Site plan and architectural review for the proposed detached accessory second dwelling unit
has been provided by staff and shall be approved by the Planning Commission as part of the
Conditional Use Permit. The unit will comply with all of the required RI development
standards, as outlined in the table below:

(H) Fees, and other charges shall be paid in association with the required building permit, to be
applied for and reviewed in conformance with local building codes upon approval of this
Conditional Use Permit;
(I) Sewer service will be provided by the City of Chula Vista (not a private system), which
means there is no requirement for local health official approval.
Although the City's new accessory unit ordinance limits this type of housing units to 650 square feet
and the most recent Planning Commission approval of a second unit request limited the proposed
unit to 700 square feet, this proposal is unique in that the panhandle configuration and the large size
of this parcel will minimize the neighborhood impact of an accessory second unit on this Jot. The
proposed accessory second unit is an appropriate use for the large, 13,939 square-foot lot. The
proposed project meets all the development standards of the R-1 Zone. The proposed second
accessory dwelling unit is appropriate in mass and scale to the site and is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood. Though not a requirement of proposed second accessory dwel1ing units
in the RI-Zone, the proposed project wil1 provide landscaping and open space with the provision of a
IS x 50 landscaped front yard. The existing single- family residence has a 22 x 70 rear yard and
landscaping on both sides.
Further, it should be noted that Council has requested staff to re-evaluate the 650 square foot unit
limit for larger lots, such as this, indicating that the limit may be too 10w. Additionally the Counci1
overturned the decision ofthe Planning Commission Jimiting the previous application to 700 square
-~
Page 4, Item:
Meeting Date: 10-08-2003
feet citing the mandatory nature of the applicable government code section, the general support of
these units as a source of affordable housing, and the compatibi1ity ofthe unit with the neighborhood
based on size, FAR, and lot coverage.
The proposed unit is a high quality of sty1e and will be compatible with the existing residence on the
parcel. The use of arched windows and entryways, trellises, and columns are proposed design
elements that enhance the proposed architectural style. The colors and materials will be used to
enhance the architectural elements of the project. Monotonous linear elevations will be avoided by
the various roof Jines and a combination of vertical and horizontal articulation.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit to constmct an 1,194 square foot
accessory second unit at 447 Oxford Street, in accordance with the findings and subject to the
conditions of approva1 in the attached Planning Commission Resolution PCC-03-73.

or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
The requested use would take place within an eXlstmg single-family residential

form of housing in California, providing housing for family members, students, the
elderly, in-home health providers, the disabled, and others, at below market prices within
existing neighborhoods.

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 proposed accessory second unit will not have a detrimental impact upon the
surrounding residential neighborhood. The subject property is a 13,939 square foot
panhandle lot that is set behind an existing 6,969 square foot parcel of separate
ownership. The accessory second unit will be architecturally integrated in terms of
design, building materials and colors used with the proposed primary single-fami1y
residence. In addition, it will be required to be in conformance with the Uniform
Building Code.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
