INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Read into the record by Vice Chair Madrid.
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: No public input.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: PCC 05-31; Consideration to modify an existing
Conditional Use Permit for a parochial school to: 1)
reflect the proposed construction of a new building
for an administration office, two classrooms and a
multipurpose room; 2) consider operational
requirements for the school; and 3) to allow two
modular trailers for use as a temporary
administration and construction office. The
property is located at 482 L Street in the R-3-P14
Zone. Applicant: Southwestern Christian School.
BACKGROU ND: Michael Walker, Sr. Planner reported that the applicant submitted an
application for a Conditional Use Permit to remove an existing 1,950 sf, single-story
administration building, and construct a new, 2,455 sf, two-story building. The new
building will accommodate the administration offices, two new classrooms, a workroom,
kitchen and multi-purpose room. The school does not propose to increase its current
enrollment of 250 students.
The project was originally scheduled for consideration by the Zoning Administrator,
however, during the public review period, staff received a signed petition from several
neighbors opposing the project, and is why the Planning Commission is now
Planning Commission Minutes

June 22,2005
considering the project. The issues of concern are:
· The two-story building will allow occupants to look into backyards invading the
neighbor's privacy
· The school is not in compliance with a previous court sanctioned settlement
agreement between the church/school and adjacent property owners, which
prohibits the school from using the south parking lot for recreation activities
· Sports equipment and other debris land in neighbors' backyards
· Students sit on the back wall taunting dogs and breaking tree branches
Mr. Walker noted that there exists a 1984 court settlement agreement between the
neighbors and the school, which establishes conditions for use of the south parking lot.
The language in the agreement reads, ".. .designated parking lot shall be used solely for
parking, normal church functions and occasional school functions.". He further noted that
a breach of the settlement agreement is a civil matter, therefore, enforcement and
compliance with the court order is the responsibility of the parties to the agreement, not the
City.
Mr. Walker stated that the school has used the south parking lot for intermittent PE
classes. The current school administration has stated that they were unaware of the court
order, nor were they aware that there were disgruntled neighbors because the school had
not received any complaints during the past two years, which is when the current
administration came on board. They are now abiding by the 1984 court order.
Staff conducted a public meeting on May 23rd to hear the concerns and to allow the school
representatives to propose possible solutions to mitigate them. They proposed to:
· Install temporary netting above the 6 foot high wall to prevent objects from getting
into the neighbor's backyards when the activities involve sports equipment
· Plant trees that would grow tall enough to provide a permanent buffer along the
south and west walls; and
· Increase supervision in the south parking lot area by assigning additional school
staff
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCC 05-
31 approving the application subject to conditions contained therein.
PRELIMINARY COMMISSION QUESTIONS I DISCUSSION:
Cmr. Tripp inquired if the construction of a new two-story administration building, which
more than doubles the floor area of the existing building, would be considered an
intensification of the land use.
Nancy Lytle responded that, it is possible to increase the mass of a building without
intensifying the land use. However, the argument could also be made that by increasing
the size, you are intensifying the urbanization in that area.

June 22, 2005
Ms. Lytle further stated that upon staffs review of the project, with an understanding that
the student enrollment thresholds would remain the same, as well as questioning the
applicant, it was determined that the intent of the project was simply to modernize the
facility to current day standards.
Cmr. Hall inquired what, if any, is the history of complaints for this site.
Mr. Walker responded that upon his review of the site's history he found four complaints;
three of which were for graffiti abatement, and one was related to the parking lot ingress
and egress.
Cmr. O'Neill expressed concern that the Commission's decision, whatever that may be,
could undermine the court's decision and force the parties back into court.
Jill Maland, Deputy City Attorney responded that the court order stands on its own merits
and the parties to the agreement are bound by it, irrespective of what the Commission's
decision may be. Furthermore, the Commission's decision should be made independent of
what the court order stipulates, based on the Commission's ability to make the necessary
findings, as they would on any other matter before the Commission.
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED.
Mike Jones, Architect, 7860 Mission Center Ct., San Diego, CA gave an overview of the
site plan, building design and its orientation as it relates to the adjacent structures, street,
and neighborhood. Mr. Jones restated that there would be no increase in student
enrollment, and pointed out that the existing administration building was built in the 1950's
and the purpose for this improvement project was simply to bring the facility up to today's
standards.
Mr. Jones clarified and expounded on the following matters:
. the temporary (trailer) buildings will serve as temporary administration offices and
will be removed as soon as the new building is constructed.
. The kitchen will not be a cafeteria-style kitchen, as there will be no food preparation
taking place and will be more like a traditional home kitchen with a refrigerator,
microwave and stove for occasional heating of ready-made meals. The kitchen will
also serve to store the emergency food packs that the State of California requires
for each student.
· With respect to comments made about children sitting on the walls, Mr. Jones
clarified that the wall that abuts the residences is a sound-barrier concrete wall that
measures 6 feet tall. Furthermore, it's in an area that is supervised when occupied
by children, and the likelihood that small grammar students would be sitting on top
of it, would be is slim to none. Most likely what has been observed are students

- 4 -
June 22, 2005
sitting on a 4-foot high wall that is located at the front of the school, fronting L
Street, and most likely those would be students from the adjacent Chula Vista High
School.
Mr. Jones pointed out that the use of the south parking lot that abuts the residences is not
used for free-play recess-type activities, but for scheduled supervised physical education
classes.
Leigh Moffett, Principal, Southwestern Christian School, 482 L Street, Chula Vista,
CA, stated she's been with the school for two years and has never received any type of
complaint, otherwise she would have addressed it immediately.
Ms. Moffett further stated that she believes they are in compliance with the stipulations in
the agreement and make minimal use of the back parking lot where they conduct
supervised PE classes. Additionally, with the construction of the new building, use of the
parking lot will be further minimized because of the multi-purpose room of the new building
that will enable them to conduct some PE classes, especially for the smaller children and
during inclement weather.
Ms. Moffett clarified that the PE classes are conducted one class at a time, as opposed to
the free playground area where there are multiple classes. Additionally, the State of
California requires that 100 minutes of physical education classes must be provided to the
students. This translates to approximately three, 33-minute PE classes per week. If these
classes are forced to move to the playground at the same time that other students are
having recess, you are not lessening the noise, you're just relocating it and creating a
safety issue because you have different aged children playing at the same time.
Jackie Kottke, 5494 Soledad Rd., stated she has been a teacher at SWCS from their
early days when they first were established and her children also attended the school.
Although she does not live in Chula Vista, she continues to teach 6th grade because she is
committed to the school and believes it makes a valuable contribution to the community.
Ms. Kottke briefly described the activities that are in question that take place in the parking
lot and concluded by stating that it is their desire to be in compliance with all regulations,
be good neighbors and work with the neighborhood in order to be able to co-exist in a
peaceful, amicable environment.
Peggy Hupp, 450 Westby St, Chula Vista, CA 91911 stated she is a party to the
agreement and that the homes were built in 1967 before the church or school were ever
conceived of. Years later, when the church and school were constructed and the church
parking lot was transformed into a playground area is when the problems with noise and
privacy issues came into play. As a civil matter between neighbors, the only recourse that
was available to the neighborhood was to take them to court.
Ms. Hupp further stated that although there is a concern that at a future date they may
Planning Commission Minutes
- 5 -
June 22, 2005
consider increasing the student enrollment cap, even so, they don't object to the
construction of the new building. All they ask is that the school be compliant and uphold
their end of the agreement. Furthermore, the neighbors are not opposed to an
"occasional" special activity in the south parking lot, i.e. a Harvest Festival or a Christmas
function, however, they oppose its use as a playground or to conduct PE classes.
Shirley Ross, 453 Westby St., Chula Vista, stated she concurs with Ms. Hupp's previous
statements and urged the Commission to uphold their request.
Rose Kraus, 466 Westby St., Chula Vista, stated she concurs with Ms. Hupp's previous
statements and urged the Commission to uphold their request.
Karyn Graham, 470 Jamul Ct, Chula Vista stated she attended SWCS in the late 1980's
and she has never observed anyone from the school sitting on top of the fences. She
restated previous comments regarding a decrease in the use of the parking for PE classes
because of the new building's multi-purpose room and the occasional use of the Chula
Vista High School sports field that they have agreed to allow SWCS use on occasion when
its not in use by the high school. She urged the commission to support the project.
Catherine Schultz, 470 Jamul Ct., Chula Vista stated she is a teacher at SWCS and the
new building will allow for two additional classrooms, which would enable larger classes to
be made smaller, which in turn would minimize noise from the PE classes because, for
example, instead of having one class with 28 students, there would be two classes of 14
students in each class.
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Cmr. O'Neill stated that item #5 of the court order document is quite clear and
unambiguous; it reads, "The southern area of the church's property designated for use as a
parking lot shall be used solely for parking, normal church functions and occasional school
functions."
Cmr. Hall stated he came to the meeting prepared to hear an uproar of opposition on the
construction of the new building, but instead the matter of contention is noise and the
school's alleged non-compliance with the agreement regarding the use of the parking lot.
Cmr. Hall further stated that since noise is subjective, he asked if a noise analysis was
conducted to measure the levels and evaluate whether they are within what is allowed.
Mr. Walker responded that environmental staff reviewed the proposal and determined that
according to CEQA the project was Categorically Exempt, meaning that there are no
impacts associated with the project.

June 22, 2005
Cmr. Hall stated that in the absence of a noise study, he does not have the necessary
information to make an informed decision.
Cmr. Madrid stated that it appeared both parties were close to reaching consensus
because the residents have stated they do not oppose the construction of the building and
their concerns are related to the use and noise emanating from the south parking lot. The
school has also made efforts to offer solutions to mitigate the neighbors' concerns.
Cmr. Madrid further stated that she concurs with Cmr. O'Neill's earlier comments regarding
the clarity of the language in #5 of the court order, therefore, she recommended that
perhaps a condition could be added further defining the word "occasional" to mean
occasional holiday events, i.e. harvest festivals or Christmas events.
MSC (Madrid/O'Neill) (4-0-2-1) that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCC
05-31 approving the application subject to conditions contained therein including a
condition that re-defines the language of court order #5 to read as follows:
. "The southern area of the church's property shown on Exhibit "8" designated
for use as a parking lot shall be used solely for parking, normal church
functions and no more than 12 special events per year."
Motion carried with Cmr. Hall abstaining.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration ofthe following applications filed by Sudberry Properties for 13.3
acres at the northwest corner of EastLake Parkway and Miller Drive within the
EastLake IT Planned Community:
a) GPA 04-04: Amendment to the City of Chula Vista General Plan to
change the land use designation of approximately 13.3 acres from
Research & Limited Industrial to Retail Commercial.
b) PCM 04-14: Amendments to the EastLake IT General Development
Plan (GDP) and EastLake IT Planned Community District Regulations
and Land Use Districts Map. Also, amend associated regulatory
documents applicable to the northerly 13.3 acres (aka "EastLake
Village Walk") of the 68.1 acre EastLake I Village Center North
Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan.
The applicant, Sudberry Properties, Inc., has submitted applications to: 1) amend the City's General
Plan to change the land use designation of approximately 13.3 acres at northwest corner of East Lake
Parkway and Miller Drive from Research and Limited Manufacturing to Retail Commercial; 2)
amend the EastLake II General Development Plan to change the land use designation of 13.3 acres
from Research and Limited Manufacturing to Retail Commercial; and 3) amend the EastLake II
Planned Community District Map change 13.3 acres from Business Center (BC-3) to Village Center
(VC-l a), and the EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations to accommodate the changes
in land use.
The applicant is also requesting amendment to the 68.1-acre EastLake I Village Center North
Supplemental SPA Plan and associated regulatory documents for the northerly 13.3 acres known as
"The EastLake Village Walk". The SPA amendment contains revisions to the Supplemental SPA
Plan, Design Guidelines, Public Facilities Finance Plan, Water Conservation and Air Quality
Improvement Plans.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that, although the proposed project could
have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because
mitigation measures have been incorporated and agreed to by the project proponent. A Mitigated
Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program were prepared, which must
be considered by the Planning Commission prior to a decision on the project (Attachment 3).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt attached Resolution GPA 04-04/PCM 04-14, recommending
that the City Council:
Page No.2, Item:
Meetio2 Date: 07/27/05
I. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(IS-04-027) issued for the Project; and,
2. Approve the proposed amendments to the General Plan and EastLake II General Development
Plan and Planned Community District Regulations and Land Use Districts Map; and,
3. Approve the amendments to the EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA pertaining
to the 13.3-acre northerly portion known as the EastLake Village Walk.
BACKGROUND:
The EastLake I General Development Plan and SPA were originally adopted in 1984 and included
the neighborhoods known as EastLake Shores, EastLake Hills, EastLake Village Center, EastLake
Business Center, and the northern portion of East Lake Greens. This SPA was later incorporated into
the EastLake II General Development Plan when the separate EastLake Greens SPA was adopted.
In 1992, the City Council approved amendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan and
EastLake I SPA Plan to accommodate a 485,000 sq. ft. medical center complex at the northwest
corner of Otay Lakes Road and Fenton Street within a planning area of EastLake known as the
"EastLake I Activity Center." This Activity Center, which replaced the original commercial!
residential mixed-use concept (EastLake Village Center) envisioned in the original SPA,
incorporates three major components: I) a neighborhood (Von's) shopping center (south ofOtay
Lakes Road); 2) a mixed-use entertainment and service oriented village center (east and west side of
EastLake Parkway); and 3) a major hospital! medical center.
The V on's commercial center, which existed at that time, was within the EastLake Greens SPA, and,
consequently, developed and administered under that SPA. Although this component (the Von's
portion) of the Activity Center was approved under separate design guidelines, its functional
relationship to the northern Activity Center was significant and served as an existing design
reference.
To properly guide the Activity Center development, in 1992, the City Council also approved the
"EastLake I Activity Center Precise Plan Guidelines" for the above mentioned medical center mixed-
use concept. These design guidelines established specific urban design, landscaping and functional
goals and objectives to insure the integration of all aspects of the Activity Center into the
surrounding industrial and the overall EastLake planned community.
The Kaiser medical center proj ect was never built and the property was re-acquired by The EastLake
Company who has proposed to re-define the northern portion ofthe Activity Center (north ofOtay
Lakes Road) into three separate and independent parcels tied together with other surrounding
properties/uses by urban design features and amenities. The new concept was introduced and
Page No.3, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
outlined more specifically in a supplemental SPA Plan known as "The EastLake Village Center
North" and associated regulatory documents prepared for this planning area. That Supplemental SPA
plan included specific design guidelines for each parcel, replaced the previously adopted Activity
Center Precise Plan Guidelines and all other associated regulatory documents.
In July, 2002 the City Council approved amendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan
and Planned Community District Regulations, and EastLake I SPA Plan; including the adoption of
the EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan, comprising 68.1 acres located at the
northwest and northeast corner of EastLake Parkway and Otay Lakes Road (see Figure 1).
The 68. I-acre EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan is comprised of a 38.1-acre
parcel (VC-l) designated as Retail Commercial, a 16.4-acre parcel (E-I0) designated as Industrial
Research and Manufacturing located west of EastLake Parkway, and a 13.6-acre parcel (VC-2)
designated as Professional-Administrative Commercial located east of EastLake Parkway.
The 38.1-acre Retail Commercial portion was developed as "The EastLake Village Marketplace"
with a Target and Lowe's home improvement center as the major anchor tenants. Several sit down
restaurants and other food facilities, financial institutions, in-line retail shops, and a full service gas
station provided important goods and services to the residents of EastLake and surrounding
communities.
As a result of The EastLake Village Marketplace commercial center development, in July 2003, the
City Council approved amendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan, EastLake I
Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan and EastLake II Planned Community District
Regulations to change the easterly 13 .6-acres from Professional Administrative to Commercial Retail
to accommodate additional officelretail uses known as the "EastLake Village Center East or Kohl's
commercial center". The parcel has been developed with a Kohl's department store, and offices,
retail shops and food establishments.
The southeasterly 3.1 acres of the 16.4-acre (E-lO) parcel has been approved for a 36,000 sq. ft.
medicaVoffice building, which is under construction.
At this time, Sudberry Properties, Inc. is requesting the above mentioned amendments to
accommodate The EastLake Village Walk specialty retail center. The applicant has submitted a
Design Review application for the proposed 13.3-acre specialty retail center, which must be
considered and approved by the Design Review Committee. The project is targeted for consideration
by the DRC in mid October, 2005.

DISCUSSION:
1. Existing Site Characteristics
The Project involves the northerly 13.3 acres of the 68.1 acres EastLake I Village Center North
Supplemental Sectional Planning Area, at the northwest corner of EastLake Parkway and Miller
Drive hereafter referred to as the "EastLake Village Walk" (see Locator).
The parcel is presently vacant and has been mass graded in conjunction with the EastLake I mass-
grading program, and recently re-graded under an approved remedial grading permit. After the most
recent grading, the site is situated approximately 20 feet above the 38.1 acres Village Marketplace
commercial center. The site drains west to a catch basin located at the southwest, then runoff is piped
to the detention basin at the southwest corner of the Village Marketplace commercial center.

3. Project Description
The proposed project includes amendments to the City's General Plan, the EastLake II General
Development Plan, EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental Sectional Planning Area Plan, and
the EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations and Land Use Districts Map. The proposed
Page No.5, Item:
Meetio2 Date: 07/27/05
amendments are more specifically described in the following paragraphs.
General Plan Amendment:
Change 13.3 acres from Research & Limited Manufacturing to Commercial Retail (See Figure 2).
EastLake II General Development Plan Amendment:
Change 13.3 acres ofthe northern 16.4 acres from Industrial Research & Limited Manufacturing (IR)
to Retail Commercial (CR), consistent with the proposed General Plan (See Figure 3).
EastLake II Planned District Regulations - Land Use Districts Map Amendments:
Change 13.3 acres ofthe northern 16.4 acres from Business Center (BC- 3) to Village Center (V C-l a)
(see Figure 5). Adjust the land use boundaries to reflect the GDP and SPA land use changes.
EastLake II Planned District Regulations - Text Amendments:
In addition to various, minor clean-up type amendments, the project includes the following text
amendments:
Section III, Permitted Uses - Village Center:
Page III-3 to III-6 Replace the definitions of the permitted, not permitted, and Conditional Permitted
Uses (CUP), associated with the introduction ofa "VC-la" land use district. The newVC-la land
use district identifies the type and size of uses allowed within the "specialty retail" district, distinct
from the other (VC) Village Commercial land use districts.
EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental Sectional Planning Area Plan (SPA) - Site Utilization
Plan Amendment:
Change the land use designation in 13.3 acres of the northern portion from Village Center
Employment (E-I0) to Village Center (VC-l) (See Figure 4).
EastLake I Sectional Planning Area SPA plan - Text Amendments:
The proposed amendments reflect the change in land use for the northerly 13.3 acres portion of the
EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan (see Attachment 5). The amended
Supplemental SPA plan contains Design Guidelines, Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP), Air
Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP), Water Conservation Plan (WCP).
Page No.6, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
ANALYSIS:
The existing EastLake Village Marketplace and the Kohl's center have been highly successful.
However, the demand for commercial space and maximum capacity ofthese two properties cannot
accommodate additional retail uses which the community desires. Residents currently have to drive
out of Chula Vista to obtain the goods and services that Village Walk will provide, such as a gourmet
market and specialty market, ethnic restaurants and dining establishments, a major bookstore and
other retail services. This pedestrian-oriented center will provide upscale specialty retail, which
compliment the Village Marketplace and Kohl's center, and complete the "town center" component
of the EastLake community. Due to its proximity to the EastLake Shores residential community to
the west, The Eastlake Village Walk will act as gateway entrance into the town center for EastLake's
west side residents, who currently drive through an industrial and office park to reach the town
center. Further, the developer is proposing that The EastLake Village Walk's architecture, landscape
design, site amenities, and gathering places will be unique in Chula Vista and among the finest urban
design in all of San Diego County. The proposed design ofthe center and enhancements to EastLake
Parkway, types of shops and gathering places will encourage more pedestrian activity.
General Plan Amendment:
The proposed amendment to the General Plan consist of changing 13.3 acres from Research &
Limited Manufacturing to Retail Commercial to accommodate the new EastLake Village Walk
specialty retail center proposed by Sudberry Properties, Inc..
The site is situated between the EastLake Shores residential community and EastLake Village
Marketplace commercial center. Its proximity between these two areas serves as a gateway from the
residential neighborhood and provides continuity to the town center (i.e. Village Marketplace and
Kohl's center). The southerly portion of the site adjacent to the Village Marketplace commercial
center, and westerly proximity to the EastLake Shores residential community, connected by EastLake
Parkway overpass across SR-125 are the basis to support the requested amendment. The proposed
land use change will provide an additional 13.3 acres of specialty retail uses that are not currently
available within the EastLake Community.
EastLake II General Development Plan Amendment:
The proposed amendment to the General Development Plan consist of changing 13.3 acres from
Research & Limited Manufacturing to Retail Commercial, consistent with the General Plan
amendment request. As mentioned above, the orientation and configuration of the northerly 13.3
acres allows for continuity and is a good transition from the residential community to the west and
the Village Marketplace commercial to the south along EastLake Parkway. The additional Retail
Commercial acreage will allow for a specialty retail center to serve EastLake residents and the city as
a whole.
Page No.7, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
EastLake I Supplemental EastLake Village Center North SPA Plan:
The EastLake Village Center North, which is also referred to as the EastLake I Activity Center in the
adopted SPA plan, is located within the EastLake I SPA and functions as the town center for the
EastLake Planned Community, intended to serve the business center within the SPA and the
EastLake Planned Community as a whole. The addition of the13.3-acre Village Walk specialty
retail center, combined with the constructed 38.1-acre Village Marketplace and 9.3-acre Kohl's
commercial center would enhance the overall town center synergy.
This amended Supplemental SPA defines the development parameters, including the implementation
ofthe proposed GDP land use designation, urban design criteria, circulation, public facilities, Water
Conservation Plan, Air Quality Improvement Plan and other necessary components to ensure the
proper integration of the Village Walk into the existing surrounding residential, commercial and
industrial uses.
The following paragraphs describe in more detail some of the proposed amendments to the EastLake
I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan.
Land Use:
Under the adopted EastLake II General Development Plan, , the northerly 16.4 acres of the EastLake
Village Center North was designated as IR, Research & Limited Manufacturing, which would allow
for a major medical center complex with the remaining 51.7 acres as retail commercial, resulting in
a well integrated town center. The proposed land use change of 13.3 acres from IR, Research &
Limited Manufacturing to CR, Retail Commercial is intended to provide additional retail that
currently does not exist, tied together by common urban design features and urban design guidelines.
The land uses have been crafted to provide independent development parameters and guidelines
between the retail commercial parcels, but complementing each other as the area is fully developed.
Circulation:
The EastLake Village Walk will be served by EastLake Parkway. The main access is aligned with
Miller Drive intersection (see Attachment 5, SPA Plan tab).
Regional access will be provided primarily by I-80S located approximately 5 miles to the west, and
eventually by the future SR-125, immediately adjacent to the west. The timing for installation of
required improvements and financing mechanism are discussed in the Village Center North Public
Facilities Finance Plan (see Figure 7).
Street improvements required to serve the project are identified in the PFFP. These improvements
include a new traffic signal at the Miller Drive/EastLake Parkway/Project Driveway intersection,
new intersection geometry that includes 250 feet of capacity in the northbound left-turn lanes, and
new lane geometry at the Otay Lakes Road/V ons Driveway intersection.

Design Guidelines:
The EastLake Village Center North Design Guidelines will be updated to include the conceptual
design for the EastLake Village Walk specialty retail center, to ensure that the physical appearance
will compliment the type of developments envisioned and constructed such as medical office
complex within the northeasterly 3.1 acres, the EastLake Marketplace commercial center within the
southerly 38. 1 acres, and the Kohl's commercial center complex with minor retail uses within the
easterly 9.3 acres. The EastLake Village Center North Design Guidelines stipulate design
parameters that pertain to site planning, landscape architecture, architecture and signage for the 13.3-
acre subject site.
In addition, the EastLake Village Center North Design Guidelines feature design elements such as
trail nodes along EastLake Parkway Thematic Corridor Trail System, which consist of textured
paving, seating/rest areas and canopy trees. The proposed trail system also considers potential for
future transit facilities. These elements are intended to promote pedestrian activity. The urban design
elements for the EastLake Village Walk compliment the overall EastLake Village Center North
Design Guidelines, promoting a well-designed commercial center, which will serve as a landmark
"Gateway" to the EastLake Planned Community.
The EastLake Village Center North Design Guidelines include a Park & Ride facility, pedestrian
oriented trail system, landscaping and signage, water features and community open space areas such
as courtyards, patios, pergolas, and trellises to encourage pedestrian interaction within the EastLake
Village Center Design Guidelines.
The Design Guidelines contain illustrations and guidelines to implement the design ideas presented
therein. Some ofthe urban design guidelines include land use diversity, site development character
and conceptual building/parking/open space relationships within the project. Because of the
importance of unifying themes and designs over an extended period oftime until full build out, the
Design Guidelines will be utilized to ensure overall consistency while allowing for flexibility on the
part of the Design Review Committee at the detailed site plan level.
Village Center North Supplemental Public Facilities Finance Plan:
The proposed Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) has been prepared by City consultants based
on water, sewer, traffic, drainage, biology and other technical studies. As required by the City's
Growth Management Ordinance, the proposed amendment to the EastLake Village Center North
Supplemental PFFP analyzes the impact ofthe project on public facilities and services and identifies
the required public facilities and services needed to serve the 13 .3-acre EastLake Village Walk parcel
("Project") to maintain consistency with the City's Quality of Life Threshold Standards. The PFFP
describes in detail the cost, financing mechanism and timing for constructing public facilities.
The public facilities needed to serve the project will be guaranteed by placing conditions of approval
on the tentative parcel map, payment of DIP fees at the building permit stage, and/or utilizing
Page No.9, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
on the tentative parcel map, payment of DIF fees at the building permit stage, and/or utilizing
Community Facilities Districts to finance or maintain the public facility.
Transportation:
Based on the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the EastLake Village Walk project by the City's
traffic consultant, Linscott, Law & Greenspan, dated February 2,2005, the adopted BC-3/E-l 0 parcel
is anticipated to generate a total of 15,404 daily project trips., The traffic generation of the entire
BC-3/E-I0 parcel was analyzed in order to compare and update the findings of the February 2005
traffic report to the previously prepared traffic analysis for the EastLake Village Center North project
(Linscott, Law & Greenspan, May 2002) which included the same parcel. Excluding the approved
medical office building, which is located on a portion ofthe BC-3/E-l 0 site and has been approved,
the proposed project would generate 13,304 ADT without considering transit and pass-by trip
reduction. The PFFP uses a total of 13,304 daily trips for the land use change from BC-3 to VC-l.
The City's Traffic Threshold Standard specifies that a Level of Service (LOS) of C or better, as
measured by average travel speeds on the arterial roads, shall be maintained with the exception that
during peak hours LOS D can occur for no more than two hours of the day or LOS ElF for one hour.
The traffic impact analysis for the proposed proj ect determined that the intersections of Otay Lakes
RoadIV ons Driveway and EastIake Parkway/Miller Drive would operate at LOS E or F during peak
hours and therefore would not meet the City's Traffic Threshold Standard.
As presented in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, street improvements are required to reduce
potential direct and cumulative traffic impacts to below significance. These street improvements are
provided in the PFFP. Specifically, these improvements include a new traffic signal at the Project
Driveway/Miller Drive/EastLake Parkway intersection, new intersection geometry that includes 250
feet of capacity in the northbound left turn lanes, and new lane geometry at the off-site Otay Lakes
RoadIV ons Driveway intersection. Cumulative traffic impacts would be mitigated to below
significance through TDIF contributions for the widening of Otay Lakes Road from H Street to
Telegraph Canyon Road and widening of Otay Lakes Road from Bonita Road to H Street, in
accordance with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the EastLake Village Center
North MND (IS-02-042).
In addition, the EastLake Village Walk project will be conditioned to pay Transportation DIF fees(
$185,325/Commercial Acre), and Traffic Signal Fees ($25.59 per vehicle trip generated per day) at
the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued for the project. .
With the construction of the project level street improvements and with the payment ofTDIF and
traffic signal fees listed above, the City's Quality of Life Threshold Standards will be maintained at a
Level of Service C or better at all key study intersections and street segments, and potential direct
and cumulative traffic impacts will be mitigated to below significance.

Drainage:
The 13.3-acre site lies within the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Basin. The basin is improved with
flood control facilities that runs parallel to Telegraph Canyon Road. Presently, runoff from the
Telegraph Canyon watershed is detained on site, within the EastLake Village Center North property,
in a regional detention facility. Per the Hydrology Study for EastLake Village Walk, dated June 6,
2005, by Hunsaker & Associates, which updated the previous report dated March 4, 2002, the
existing on site basin attenuates the 1 OO-year developed peak inflow of853 cfs to a routed peak flow
rate of 522 cfs. Downstream drainage facilities along Telegraph Canyon have been sized based on
the attenuated flow rate.
The project will be conditioned to provide for the conveyance of storm water flows in accordance
with City standards, policies and requirements. Sedimentation basins, on-site erosion protection,
urban runofftreatment, and ongoing maintenance will be provided as a condition ofthe project. In
addition, prior to the approval of the Final Map, the applicant shall pay the Telegraph Canyon
Drainage DIP ($4,579/acre).
Water:
The total projected potable water demand for the Village Center Walk project is approximately
23,740 gallons per day. There is no increase in demand since this is the same amount that was
projected by the previous project. The commercial fire flow is 5,000 gpm flow for 5 hours, which
meets the City's requirements.
The Otay Water District will provide water service for EastLake Village Center North project.
Annexation into Improvement District 22 will be required prior to water service being provided. The
Otay Water District has facilities in the vicinity of the project that can provide water service. The
District will also provide recycled water to the project for landscape irrigation and other uses.
Sewer:
Sewer service to the project site is provided by the City of Chula Vista. The project will connect to
the existing 15-inch diameter Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer in Otay Lakes Road either directly or
via a sewer line located in EastLake Parkway. The sewer analysis for the EastLake Village Walk
project determined that the land uses ofthe proposed project would result in a reduction in sewage
flow from those planned in previous studies. Because of the reduction in flows, the planned
improvements to the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer will accommodate project flows.
The City holds capacity rights of 20.875 mgd in the San Diego Metropolitan Sewerage System
(METRO). The average flow for Chula Vista into the METRO during 2003 was approximately
15.951 mgd. The 2003-2004 GMOC Report projects the average city flow to increase to 19.508 mgd
by the end of 2007. The forecasted city-wide development will reduce the existing city sewer
capacity surplus from 4.924 mgd to approximately 1.122 mgd. The city intends to pursue acquisition
of additional capacity from the City of San Diego' Metropolitan System for the city's buildout. The
sewer service charges for this development will be assessed based on the quantity and quality of
1-/0
Page No. 11, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
effluent that will be generated from the site.
Fire:
Development of the EastLake Village Walk project is not anticipated to change the need for fire
service in the area. Interim Fire Station #8, located at 975 Lane Avenue in EastLake Business Center
I would be the primary station to serve the project. In the long term, Fire Station #8 will be
reconstructed in EastLake Woods.
Schools, Libraries and Parks:
The proposed proj ect will not generate an increase in dwelling units or population in the project area.
Therefore, the development will not result in a need for new schools, libraries or parks. However,
the applicant will have to pay school fees at the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued.
EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations Amendments:
The EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations function as the zoning regulations for the
project. The PC District Regulations provide standards and regulations to guide the development of
the project. These regulations are applied in conjunction with the EastLake Village Center North
Design Guidelines to ensure the uses within the project are compatible and well designed.
The EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations adopted originally in 1985 and amended in
2002 to allow the EastLake Village Center North project, cover all of EastLake Hills, Shores,
Business Center and the Greens and Trails. This amendment (consisting the introduction of a new
land use district VC-la) only affects the northerly 13.3 acres changing from industrial uses to
commercial, which occur in the EastLake Village Walk portion of the EastLake I Village Center
North town center.
The amendments consist of eliminating certain uses such as Automobile sales and services, carwash,
gas stations, drive-through restaurants, athletic recreational facilities, and box retail, which are
allowed within the Village Marketplace commercial center (VC-l). Also, Department store size is
limited to 50,000 sq. ft. or less, and veterinary officelhospital prohibits overnight boarding for non-
medical purposes. These restrictions within the Village Walk parcel are intended to promote a more
specialized and pedestrian-oriented center, in contrast to the larger box retail Village Marketplace
commercial center to the south. The remaining provisions of the EastLake II Planned Community
District Regulations remain unchanged.
Water Conservation Plan:
The City's Growth Management Ordinance requires the preparation of a Water Conservation Plan
for all major projects in accordance with the City's Water Conservation Plan Guidelines adopted in
May 2003. The total water demand for the entire EastLake Village Center North area, including the
Village Walk commercial land use change remains unchanged at 0.122 MGD. Numerous features
I-Il
Page No. 12, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
have been included in the proposed project to minimize the use of water during the construction and
operation of the project. The estimated potable water savings with conservation measures is .0146
MGD or 12%. In addition, the use of water efficient landscape and irrigation systems results in a
12.3% recycled water savings.
The water conservation measures incorporated into the project are State mandated fixtures and
devices and irrigation oflandscaping with recycled water. Water conservation measures as required
by the City's WCP Guidelines include hot water pipe insulation, pressure reducing valves, water-
efficient landscaping and water-efficient irrigation systems.
The EastLake Village Center North Water Conservation Plan demonstrates the value in incorporating
all feasible water conservation measures in the buildings and irrigation systems for commercial
development. The implementation of these measures will contribute to preserving a valuable natural
resource.
Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP):
An Air Quality Improvement Plan was prepared for the project in accordance with the City's
General Plan Growth Management Element (GME) to meet federal and state air quality standards.
To implement the GME, the City's Growth Management Program requires that major
commerciallindustrial projects prepare Air Quality Improvement Plans for all SPA Plans. The AQIP
includes an assessment of how the project has been designed to reduce emissions as well as identify
appropriate mitigation measures.
The design concepts described and implemented in this AQIP for the Village Center North
Supplemental SPA are essentially the same as those identified in a pilot study recently conducted by
the city to develop meaningful air quality improvement measures. The developer ofthe project has
committed to the first option in Chula Vista's AQIP Guidelines and will participate in the Greenstar
Building Efficiency Program. The majority (50% or greater) of the structures shall be designed to
exceed the California 2001 Title 24, Part 6, Energy Efficiency Standards (CA 9110, effective 6/1/01)
Title 24 by 10% (see Attachment 5, SPA Binder Tab).
CONCLUSION:
For the reasons mentioned above, staff recommends approval ofthe project subject to the conditions
listed in the attached draft City Council Resolution.

IV. GENERAL PLAN INTERNAL CONSISTENCY
The City Council hereby finds and determines that the General Plan consistency is internally
consistent and shall remain internally consistent following the amendments thereon in this
Resolution.
V. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE
Chula Vista GENERAL PLAN, AS AMENDED.
The proposed amendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan reflects the land
use, circulation system and public facilities that are consistent with the City's General Plan
as proposed to be amended.
PLANNED COMMUNITY CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC
USES OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLANS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONE.
A Supplemental Sectional Planning Area plan known as the Village Center North
Supplemental SPA has been previously established for the Project Site, which was a
continuation of the EastLake I SPA plan policies and development regulations, was adopted
by the City Council on July 23,2002.
IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH
DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT OF
SUSTAINED DESIRABLITY AND STABILITY; AND THAT IT WILL BE IN
HARMONY WITH OR PROVIDE COMPATIBLE VARIETY TO THE CHARACTER
OF THE SURROUNDING AREA; AND THAT THE SITES PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC
FACILITIES, SUCH AS SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS AND PARKS ARE ADEQUATE
TO SERVE THE ANTICIPATED POPULATION AND APPEAR ACCEPTABLE TO
THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF.
The project does not involve residential development.
VI. ADOPTION OF AMENDED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
In light of the findings above, the amended EastLake II General Development Plan is
hereby as set forth and diagrammatically represented in Exhibit "B", approved and
adopted in the form presented to the City Council and on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
Resolution
Page 4
VII. SPA FINDINGS/ APPROVAL
A. THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLANS (AS AMENDED) ARE IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE EASTLAKE II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
AND THE Chula Vista GENERAL PLAN.
The EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA Plan amendment reflect the
land use, circulation system and public facilities that are consistent with the
EastLake II General Development Plan and the City of Chula Vista General Plan, as
set forth and diagrammatically represented in Exhibit "C", approved and adopted in
the form presented to the City Council and on file in the office of the City Clerk.
B. THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLANS WILL PROMOTE THE
ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED
SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS.
The development of the Project Site is subject to the requirements, restrictions and
limitations prescribed in the EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental Public
Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) and therefore will be constructed in the order
outlined in the PFFP.
C. THE EASTLAKE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLANS, AS
AMENDED, WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE,
RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY.
The Land uses within the EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan
represent the circulation system and overall land use intent as previously envisioned
in the EastLake II General Development Plan. Thus, the amended Supplemental
SPA will not adversely affect the adjacent land uses, residential enjoyment,
circulation or environmental quality of the surrounding uses.
D. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT
SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION,
AND OVERALL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH
AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF
SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH
DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE.
The amendments do not involve areas planned for industrial or research uses.
E. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER
SIMILAR NONRESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION AND OVER-ALL PLANNING TO THE
PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE
Resolution
Page 5
PROTECTED FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH
DEVELOPMENT.
The proposed amendments do not involve Institutional, Recreational or similar
uses.
F. THE STREET AND THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED ARE SUITABLE AND
ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON.
The Project Site will be served by EastLake Parkway, a 4-1ane prime arterial.
EastLake Parkway has been widened to five lanes to accommodate the required
turning lanes at the intersection with Otay Lakes Road.
Regional access will be provided primarily by 1-805 located approximately 5
miles to the west, and eventually by the future SR-125, immediately adjacent to
the west. Required improvements installation timing and financing mechanism are
discussed in the Village Center North Public Facilities Finance Plan. Thus, the
streets proposed to serve the Project Site are suitable and adequate to carry the
anticipated traffic thereon.
G. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED
ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT
SUCH PROPOSED LOCATION(S).
The proposed amendments increase the acreage designated Commercial Retail to
allow for a specialty commercial center development to provide needed commercial
facilities, such as a gourmet supermarket, major bookstore, and facilities, including
restaurants and other similar uses, to complement the existing major commercial
center directly south.
H. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED
AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATffiILITY
WITH SAID DEVELOPMENT.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the previously approved plans and
regulations applicable to surrounding areas, and therefore said development can be
planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with said
development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that in light of the findings above, the City Council does
hereby approve the EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA amendments and
adopts the new EastLake I Village Center North Supplemental SPA plan as presented in

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: ~
Meeting Date: 7-27-2005
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: PCC-05-051 consideration of a Conditional Use Permit to
construct and operate an unmanned wireless telecommunications facility at
Castle Park High School. The applicant is Sprint PCS.
The Applicant, Sprint PCS, submitted a conditional use permit application to construct and operate
an unmanned wireless telecommunications facility on the Castle Park High School campus located at
1395 Hilltop Drive (see Locator Map, Attachment 1). The project includes a 6 panel antennas
mounted on a stadium light standard and equipment cabinets placed on the ground.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the project qualifies for a Class 1
(Existing Facilities) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 ofthe State CEQA Guidelines.
Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCC-05-051
approving the proposed wireless telecommunications facility, subject to conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
1. Project Background
Sprint PCS is expanding its existing wireless network throughout San Diego County. The network
consists oftransmission and receiving stations, also known as wireless facilities or cell sites. These
facilities provide wireless communication services for residences, businesses and emergency service
agencies. Sprint is proposing a wireless facility on the Castle Park High School campus in an effort
to provide adequate wireless services to its customers in the vicinity.
2. Project Setting
Castle Park High School is located on the east side of Hilltop Drive between Orange Avenue and E.
Palomar Street. The school is situated in a single-family neighborhood. South of the school is a
small neighborhood retail center, which contains a variety of retail stores and services. The wireless
facility is proposed at the northeast section of the football stadium near the basketball court area.
3. General Plan, Zoning and Land Use
The project site is zoned Single-family Residential, and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of
Low Medium Residential. The following table specifies the existing land uses surrounding the
parcel:

4. Project Description
Sprint PCS proposes to construct an unmanned wireless telecommunications facility at the Castle
Park High SchooL The wireless facility consists of a 6 panel antennas mounted on a stadium light
standard and equipment cabinets placed on the ground adjacent to the light standard located at the
northeast section of the football stadium (see Project Plans, Attachment 5).
5. Staff Analysis
In accordance with Section 19.89 ofthe Chula Vista Municipal Code, wireless telecommunications
facilities are allowed in any zone. Antennas that exceed the height limit within the particular zone
require conditional use permit approval by the Planning Commission. The project site is zoned Rl
(Single-Family Residential), which has a maximum height limit of28 feet. The antennas mounted
on the light standard at 70 feet exceed the height limit.
Staffhas observed an existing Cingular Wireless facility on the other end ofthe stadium deigned as a
light standard, and a Nextel facility mounted on a school building.
Why is the proposed height the only technologically feasible option for providing service to the
area?
Sprint's goal is to provide coverage in the area that will reach east to the 805 Freeway, south toward
Main Street and all residential areas in between (see Radio Signal Coverage Maps, Attachment 3).
Sprint's radio engineers have determined that in order to meet the goal, mounting the antennas on the
light standard at 70 feet is necessary to ensure that the radio signals reach the other signals in the area
to provide uninterrupted coverage.
Does the facility use the smallest practical devices and most efficient technology needed to achieve
the needs of the network?
The facility will use a total of 6 panel antennas mounted on a 70- foot high football stadium light
standard~ and small equipment cabinets that will provide the necessary connections to operate the
facility. This facility has been designed and located to meet the current and anticipated needs ofthe
Sprint PCS wireless network in the area. According to Sprint's engineers, this facility uses the
smallest practical devises, and the most efficient technology available.
~." .,.....".
Page 3 I Item:
Meeting Date: 7-27-2005
Has the facility been designed utilizing stealth technology to be visually unobtrusive and to blend
with the surrounding environment?
The facility will mount 6 panel antennas on the existing light standard. This method eliminates the
need to use extended arms that would typically support the antennas. This method reduces the visual
presence ofthe facility. Sprint uses technology that only requires small equipment cabinets to house
the necessary connections that operate the facility. The facility will be visually compatible within the
context of the football stadium when using the light standard instead of erecting a separate
monopole; therefore, the project design complies with the City's design standards for facility
stealthing (see Visual Analysis, Attachment 4).
Was there a good faith effort to co-locate the Sprint PCS? Why not co-locate? Were additional
co-location sites considered?
There are two other wireless facilities currently operating on the school campus. One facility is
using and existing building and the other is designed as a light standard for the football stadium.
Sprint is using another light standard for their facility, which staff has determined this to be a co-
location effort. The small commercial area located just south of the school is at a lower elevation,
and would not meet the needed height for coverage without constructing a tall tower to support the
antennas. Sprint chose to avoid considering using any residential properties in the area, therefore
using the light standard on the campus where other similar wireless facilities operate is considered a
reasonable location.
Is there an opportunity for co-location at the proposedfacility?
The antennas are mounted high enough to allow another carrier to mount antennas below Sprint's
antennas in the event that another carrier needs to establish a cell site in the vicinity.
Conclusion
The wireless facility at the proposed location will provide a necessary service by improving wireless
cell phone service to customers, which includes, residents, businesses and emergency service
providers. Additionally, in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency situation whereby
traditional phone service may be interrupted, the proposed facility would allow wireless
telecommunications phones to continue operating. The wireless facility will help accommodate the
communication needs in the area. It is a passive use and therefore, will not adversely affect the
policy and goals of the General Plan. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the
project subject to the conditions in the attached Planning Commission Resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT, PCC-05-051, FOR SPRINT PCS TO OPERATE AN
UNMANNED WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
ON THE CASTLE PARK HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS LOCATED AT
1395 HILLTOP DRIVE
WHEREAS, the area of land owned by the Sweetwater Union High School District more
commonly known as Castle Park High School, is the subject matter of this resolution, and is
represented in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and for the
purpose of general description is located at 1395 Hilltop Drive ("Project Site"); and,
WHEREAS, on April 22, 2005, a duly verified application for a Conditional Use Permit
(PCC-05-051) was filed with the City of Chula Vista Planning Division by Sprint PCS
("Applicant"); and,
WHEREAS, Applicant requests permISSIOn to operate an unmanned wireless
telecommunications facility consisting of one 6 panel antennas mounted on a stadium light standard
and small equipment cabinets placed on the ground in an enclosure near the light standard.
("Project"); and
WHEREAS, The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the project
qualifies for a Class 1 (Existing Facilities) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 ofthe
State CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary; and,
WHEREAS, a duly called and noticed public hearing was held at the time and place as
advertised on July 27,2005, at 6:00 pm in the City Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before
the Planning Commission ofthe City of Chula Vista to receive the recommendation of City staff
and to hear public testimony with regard to the Project, and said hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby find,
determine and resolve as follows:
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 facility will provide and improve wireless telecommunication services for customers in the
vicinity ofthe high school located along Hilltop Drive and between E. Palomar Street and Orange
Avenue. The facility will also improve coverage and capacity for to residences, businesses and
emergency service providers including sheriff, police, fire, and paramedics in this area ofthe City.
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 telecommunications facility has been designed and located to minimize impacts to surrounding
uses. The antennas are mounted high on the stadium light standard and the equipment cabinets are
placed on the ground in an enclosure a safe distance from the school buildings and residences to the
east. The Project, if maintained properly, will comply with all FCC standards for radio frequency
emissions and operate quietly, emitting no fumes, smoke, dust, or objectionable odors.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in the code
for such use.
Granting ofthis conditional use permit is conditioned to require the Permittee and Property Owner
to fulfill conditions and to comply with all applicable regulations and standards specified in the
Municipal Code for such use, including the City's Wireless Ordinance. That the Wireless
Ordinance generally allows wireless facilities in all zoning districts with a conditional use permit.
The proposed use will be built in such a way that complies with the Wireless Ordinance's
development criteria and all other City zoning and building regulations. Furthermore, the
conditions of this permit are approximately in proportion to the nature and extent of the impact
created by the project in that the conditions imposed are directly related to, and of a nature and
scope related to the size and impact of the project.
4. 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 granting of this conditional use permit will not adversely affect the Chula Vista General Plan in
that said Project is a passive use and, therefore will not adversely affect the policy and goals ofthe
General Plan. The proposed use will be built in a location with minimal impact on the existing
land use, and relatively no visual impact to the area because the antennas are surface mounted to
the light standard. Monthly maintenance visits that the project may generate will not result in the
intensification of the use of the site and is an insignificant increase in the traffic for the
neighborhood.
BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista
hereby grants Conditional Use Permit PCC-05-051 subject to the following conditions the
applicant/property owner shall satisfy the following conditions herein:
I. Prior to the issuance of a building permit by the City of Chula Vista for the use of the subject
property in reliance upon this approval, the applicant shall satisfy the following conditions:
A. The Applicant shall submit plans for a building permit that comply with the following codes: 2001
California Building Code; and 2001 California Electrical Code, and provide structural calculations
Page 2
for antenna attachment to the light standard.
II. Prior to Final Inspections:
A. A final inspection ofthe facility shall be conducted by the Department of Planning and Building to
ensure that all conditions of approval have been met and all necessary permits have been obtained.
Electrical power to the facility shall not be enabled prior to issuance of a final occupancy permit,
unless such power is needed to test the facility's operation during construction and installation. If
enabled for testing purposes, electrical power shall be disabled once testing is complete.
B. Construct and maintain the project as shown on the plans.
B. Provide a 4A-40BC fire extinguisher within the enclosure.
C. Electrical service connections and the locations of related components such as meters and
transformers shall be coordinated with the sites electrical utility provider and a CityofChula Vista
Electrician prior to issuance of building permit. Disruption of existing site improvements and
facilities, including site landscaping improvements, resulting from the installation of said electrical
services shall be replaced/repaired in kind subject to the appropriate City approval(s).
III. Continuous Conditions:
A. Remain in compliance with ANSI standards for EMF emissions. Within six (6) months of the
Building Division final inspection of the project, the Applicant shall submit a project
implementation report to the Director of Planning and Building which provides cumulative field
measurements of radio frequency (EMF) power densities of all antennas installed at subject site.
The report shall quantify the EMF emissions and compare the results with currently accepted ANSI
standards. Said report shall be subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning and
Building for consistency with the project proposal report and the accepted ANSI standards. If on
review the City in its discretion finds that the Project does not meet ANSI standards, the City may
revoke or modify this conditional use permit.
B. Agree to cooperate with other telecommunication companies in co-locating additional antennas on
subject property, provided said co-locaters have received a conditional use permit for such use at
said site from the City. The Applicant shall exercise good faith in co-locating with other
communications companies and sharing the subject property, provided such shared use does not
give rise to a substantial technical level or quality of service impairment of the permitted use (as
opposed to a competitive conflict or financial burden). In the event a dispute arises as to whether
the Applicant has exercised good faith in accommodating other users, the City may require a third
party technical study at the expense of either or both the Applicant and the potential user.
C. Ensure that the project does not cause localized interference with reception of area television or
radio broadcasts, including local radio frequencies used by local school districts and water districts.
If on review the City, in its discretion, finds that the project interferes with such reception, the City
may revoke or modify the conditional use permit.
Page 3
D. Comply with the City's Municipal Code noise standards. Within three (3) months ofthe Building
Division's final inspection, the applicant shall submit a report to the Director of Planning and
Building that provides cumulative field measurements of facility noises. The report shall quantify
the levels and compare the results with current standards specified in the Municipal Code for
industrial uses. Said report shall be subj ect to review and approval by the Director of Planning and
Building for consistency, and compliance with Municipal Code noise standards. If on review the
City finds that the project does not meet the Municipal Code noise standards, the City may revoke
or modify the permit.
E. Allow the site to be inspected six months subsequent to the issuance of building permits to check
conformance with project plans and conditions of approval.
F. This conditional use permit shall be subject to any and all new, modified or deleted conditions
imposed after approval of this permit to advance a legitimate governmental interest related to
health, safety or welfare which the 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 right/condition, may not impose a substantial expense or deprive
Permittee of a substantial revenue source which the Permittee cannot, in the normal operation of
the use permitted, be expected to economically recover.
G. This conditional use permit shall expire five (5) years after the date of its approval by the Planning
Commission. After this period, the Zoning Administrator shall review the conditional use permit
for compliance with the conditions of approval, and shall determine, in consultation with the
applicant, whether the project shall be modified from its original approval. The Applicant may
request an extension of the conditional use permit subject to review and approval by the Zoning
Administrator.
H. This conditional use permit shall become void and ineffective ifnot utilized or extended within the
time allotted in Section 19.14.260 of the Municipal Code.
I. Ifthe telecommunications facility is no longer needed at the approved location, the Applicant shall

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 3
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit (PCC-05-067) for a temporary, one-
time event for a temporary racetrack in Otay Ranch Villages Two and Four.
James Baldwin, owner of Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) has applied for a Conditional
Use Permit for a temporary off-road racetrack in Villages Two and Four, located south of Olympic
Parkway, east of the Otay Landfill, and west of La Media Road. The proposed off-road racing events
would occur on two consecutive weekends, September 24-25 and October 1-2, 2005.
Races will occur between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Post-Racing Event activities include live
entertainment that will be provided between 5 :00 p.m. and 7 :00 p.m. The sale of alcoholic beverages
is requested for approval to be allowed during the races until prior to the last race. The site plan
includes a temporary racetrack, standslbleachers for spectators, food and restroom areas, pit area for
race participants, and three onsite parking lots. In addition, offsite-parking will be available at Otay
Ranch High School.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial Study, IS-05-023 in accordance
with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based upon the results of the Initial Study, the
Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the proj ect could result in significant effects
on the environment. However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would
avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur;
therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-
05-023, and all written comments are to be received by July 28,2005.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Resource Conservation Committee
(RCC) recommended approval ofthe Mitigated Negative Declaration at their July 11,2005 public
hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission approve Planning Commission
Resolution PCC-05-067 recommending adoption ofthe Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and
approval ofthe draft City Council Resolution including the required findings for approval, subject to
the conditions contained therein.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The project site consists of harvested agricultural fields and a graded soil borrow site utilized by
previous developments in Otay Ranch. The total area that would be used by the proposed event
activities encompasses approximately 149 acres, of which 57 acres have been previously graded for
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
the borrow site. The project site consists of rolling hills and relatively steep tributary canyons and is
situated between two significant ridgelines: Poggi Canyon, which is located to the north and Wolf
Canyon, which occurs to the south of the site.
Grading ofthe agricultural fields will be necessary to prepare the racetrack; however, the racetrack
will be designed to conform to existing landforms, so there will be very little landform alterations
beyond the creation of the racetrack.
The areas proposed for parking would still appear as agricultural fields which have been mowed but
have not be cleared of all vegetation, so there will be very minimal changes made to create the large
parking lot areas, other then to provide security fencing around the entire project site.
2. General Plan, Zoning and Land Use
The site is located within the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP). The proposed project
site area encompasses the future Village Two and a portion of Village Four as shown on the General
Plan land use diagram and the Otay Ranch GDP land use map.
The General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP identifies conceptual development, circulation and open
space as land use components within each ofthe square mile land areas that are mapped and planned
to incorporate the village concept. The General Plan Land Use Diagram generally shows floating
land use designations of Low-Medium Village (LMV) density residential land uses surrounding
Medium-High (MH) density residential along with mixed (commercial and residential), and
neighborhood park, school and community purpose land uses within the village core for each
village.
The General Plan and the Otay Ranch GDP documents state that each village in Otay Ranch will be
developed in accordance with a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, which will outline specific
development standards and regulations and will function in the same manner as zoning regulations.
However, specific Planned Community District Regulations have not yet been adopted as part ofthe
future SPA Plan for Village Two and Four, and the current zoning for the entire site is Planned
Community (PC).
The proposed temporary racing event activities contemplated here are considered conditionally
permitted use within the Planned Community (PC) Zone, utilizing the unclassified use requirements
listed under unclassified uses in the Zoning Code (19 .54.020J -7) for race tracks, which requires that
a conditional use permit be considered by the City Council subsequent to its receipt of
recommendations thereon from the Planning Commission. Because the land use is a temporary use,
it will not require amendments to the Chula Vista General Plan, or the Otay Ranch GDP.
Surrounding land uses include the Otay Ranch High School immediately north ofthe site; developed
residential uses in Village One located farther to the north (north ofthe existing Olympic Parkway),
developing residential uses in Village Six (east ofthe existing paved La Media Road), Otay Landfill
to the southwest, and undeveloped land to the south and southeast.
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
3. Proposal
The proposal is to allow for a temporary, one-time event involving Championship Off-Road Racing
(CORR) on a portion of the Otay Ranch property located south of Olympic Parkway, east ofthe Otay
Landfill and west of La Media Road. The off-road race event will occur on two consecutive
weekends, September 24-25 and October 1-2 2005.
The off-road race event will consist of up to 10 races each day of the event with eight classes of
vehicles competing during the CORR: Pro 2 (two-wheel drive), Pro 4 (four-wheel drive), Pro Light,
Sportsman Truck, Sportsman 2, Light Buggy, Single Buggy, and Super Buggy. Each race will last
approximately 15 minutes.
The proposed temporary racing event and activities is considered a conditionally permitted use
within the Planned Community (PC) Zone, utilizing the unclassified use requirements listed under
unclassified uses in the Zoning Code (19. 54.020J -7) for race tracks, which requires that a conditional
use permit be considered by the City Council subsequent to its receipt of recommendations thereon
from the Planning Commission.
The applicant is also seeking a waiver of Zoning Code (19.58.040), the Amusement and
Entertainment Facilities use requirements that is referenced to racetracks uses and which would
prohibit alcohol beverages being sold or consumed on the premises except in conjunction with a
restaurant, and through this conditional use permit process the applicant is requesting that alcohol
may be sold with food vendors.
Races will occur between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Post-Racing Event activities include live
entertainment that will be provided between 5 :00 p.m. and 7 :00 p.m. Sales of alcoholic beverages
are requested for approval as part of this Conditional Use Permit in conjunction with the required
Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) permits, and it is recommended as a condition of approval that
the sales of alcoholic beverages cease prior to the last race.
As shown on the preliminary racetrack map, the site plan includes a temporary racetrack,
standslbleachers for spectators, food and restroom areas, pit area for race participants, and three
onsite parking lots. In addition, off-site parking areas would be available for overflow parking if
needed. A description of the site access/parking, site preparation and operation of the various uses
are provided below, as well as a description of activities that will occur at the site post-operation.
The applicant expects that the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) event will draw
approximately 24,000 spectators per day from the San Diego County region. Access to the CORR
event will be from both the Telegraph Canyon Road and Olympic Parkway interchanges at 1-805,
located approximately four miles to the west. Other local roadways that may be used include
Heritage Road, La Media Road, and Birch Road. Entrances into the race area will be provided from
Olympic Parkway and La Media Road.

BACKGROUND:
The project site was first assessed in conjunction with the Otay Ranch General Development
Plan/Subregional Plan Program Environmental Impact Report for Otay Ranch General Development
Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) that was prepared jointly by the City of Chula Vista and County
of San Diego in October of 1993.
A portion of the site where the pit areas will be located was previously graded as a soil borrow site
for the construction of Olympic Parkway. One ofthe areas designated for overflow parking (Parking
Lot "C" on the site map) is located within a portion of Village Four, southeast ofW olf Canyon. This
development area was approved as a soil borrow site as part of the Village Seven SPA and Tentative
Maps on October 12, 2004.
The majority ofthe project site boundary including the entire racetrack is located within the planning
area ofthe Village Two SPA Plan and Tentative Maps that are currently in the review process with
the City. The preliminary documents indicate that Village Two will become the largest of the
residential villages in Otay Ranch. It is anticipated that the EIR and SPA Plan will be presented in
public hearings soon after the race event is held with final approvals scheduled for January 2006.
ANALYSIS:
Proiect Site (Race Track, Grandstands, and On-Site Parking Areas):
The preliminary racetrack map shows a short track and a long track extension racetrack with
grandstand/bleachers located along the northern top and side edges of the racetrack for spectators.
There are food, restroom and vendors areas behind the grandstands. The racetrack will be situated
approximately 8-ft. below the grandstands, with 1 O,OOO-lb. concrete barriers running along the entire
frontage ofthe grandstand area. In addition, a 10-ft. high catch fence with steel cables will run the
entire length ofthe grandstand area to protect spectators. Perimeter fencing will be provided around
the entire site, with security personnel posted at all access pointes throughout the event. The project
would also be consistent with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, as it is located entirely
within developable areas.
An entertainment area for live music and award presentations is located in the northeast comer ofthe
proj ect area over one hillside that connects to the Otay Ranch High School, where the existing paved
parking lot areas will be rented from the school district by the applicant for the event. The racing pit
areas are located in the northwest corner ofthe proj ect area in front ofthe main entrance parking area
that is connected to the intersection of Heritage Road and Olympic Parkway.
Two secondary parking areas are access from the intersection of La Media and Birch Road, and a
shuttle service will be provided for spectators who must use the distant parking area located in the
southeast corner of the project boundary. It is estimated that approximately 9,600 vehicles per day
ofthe event would access the site, via Olympic Parkway and La Media Road. Other local roads that
would provide direct access to the site are La Media Road, Heritage Road, and Birch Road.

Meeting Date: 07/27/05
Several activities associated with the race event will potentially cause some one-time nuisance noise
events, including: generators for power; spectator passenger vehicles; paddock and pre-race staging
traffic; actual racing; loudspeaker announcements and after race events including live entertainment.
Races are only to occur between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Post-Racing Event activities include live
entertainment that will be provided between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
The race event also has the potential to result in safety hazards associated with accidents during the
race events as well as the police control efforts associated with spectators and traffic control,
therefore there will be a temporary increase in demand for police and fire services.
The fire station located at 1640 Santa Venetia is close by, approximately one-half mile to the east.
The Fire Department will have a fully staffed brush engine dedicated to this event one hour before
and after the nonnal event times. In addition, the event operators shall furnish the Fire Department
and Ambulance service a means for two-way radio communication during the hours of operation. In
addition, an Emergency Medical Plan is also being required as part ofthe conditional use pennit, to
be provided by the Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR) management team to the Fire Marshal
prior to the event.
With regard to event, spectator and traffic control, the Police Department has requested the CaRR
management team to provide the City with a Security Plan that shall address all issues regarding
security, on-site traffic control and parking subject to final review and approval by the Police Chief.
Representatives of CaRR management team have already met with the Police Department's Special
Events & Special Investigations Unit and have received a preliminary approval of a Private Security
and Parking Control Plan.
Sales of alcoholic beverages are requested for approval as part of this Conditional Use Pennit in
conjunction with the required Alcohol and Beverage Control (ABC) pennits. The CORR
management team will obtain and provide all required Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) pennits
for review and approval by the Police Department's Special Events & Special Investigations Unit
prior to any sales of alcohol on the project boundary site at the racing and entertainment events. It is
anticipated that all alcohol sales shall be incorporated within the food vending areas and no
segregated "beer garden" arrangements will be created. It is recommended that the sales of alcoholic
beverages cease prior to the last race as a condition of approval.
Of note, no overnight camping or motor home are allowed within the project boundary site during
the race event weekends of September 24-25 and October 1-2 or during the intervening week except
for those self-contained facilities utilized by racing teams located within the pit area, as a condition
of approval.
Off-Site Traffic and Parking Control:
It is not anticipated that the additional traffic associated with the racing events would result in
unacceptable levels of service on any affected roadway. In contrast to concerts such as those typically
held (non-festival events) at Coors Amphitheater, most spectators will be arriving throughout the
Page 6, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
timeframe the racing is allowed between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and no one can enter the site for any of
the post-race entertainment events without a ticket to attend the races.
However, there is the potential for localized congestion at ingress and egress points of the project
and parking impacts on City roadways during the two weekends that the racing events would be held.
To avoid potential for significant impacts, a Traffic Control Plan is required to be prepared for
review and approval by Traffic Engineering and Police Department.
The Traffic Control Plan will provide methods to reduce potential traffic impacts on vehicular
circulation and parking in the area. Elements ofthe Traffic Control Plan would include a description
ofthe signage, striping, delineate detours, flagging operations and any other devices which would be
used during events to guide motorists safely to ingress locations from public roadways.
The Traffic Control Plan would also include provisions for coordinating with local emergency
service providers regarding event times and measures for bicycle lane safety. The Traffic Control
Plan would ensure that access and traffic flow would be maintained, and that emergency access
would not be restricted. Additionally, the Traffic Control Plan would ensure that congestion and
delay of traffic resulting from the event do not increase significantly or be of a short-tenn nature.
As a condition of approval, the final Traffic Control Plan ultimately prepared by CORR management
team and approved by the Police Department shall be submitted to the Traffic Engineering Section
for review approval prior to the issuance of a Grading Pennit.
Other conditions of approval require the applicant to provide fencing or other security features
should be provided to discourage patrons from finding their way onto adjacent construction sites.
The McMillin Company has requested that fencing be provided that prohibits spectator access into
grading operations currently occurring Village Seven. Access controls should be placed at Birch
Road from Magdalena A venue in Village Six and from Birch Road south onto Magdalena Avenue at
the north end of Village Seven. Fencing should already be in place along the west side of Magdalena
extending from Birch Road to the High School entrance. Additional fencing may be warranted is
along the remainder of the west side of Magdalena Avenue from the high school entrance to Rock
Mountain Road. This would effectively limit access to all active construction areas, including the
School District's high school site.
In addition, CaRR management team will be required to provide additional infonnation regarding
the specific locations where vehicles will enter the project boundary site and where tickets will be
taken to address concerns about queuing from adjacent arterials and control ofthe project boundary
site. The perimeter fencing to be used shall also be provided with this infonnation to the Planning
and Building Department for review and approval two weeks prior to the event to ensure access and
entry is adequately controlled.
Finally, while it was contemplated to control or eliminate parking in adjacent neighborhoods
(Heritage Village One to the north and Santa Venetia Village Six to the east), the Police Department
has indicated that as a practical matter this would be difficult to enforce and would be more
disruptive to residents. The Police Department is confident that since the cost of parking is covered
Page 7, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
in the price ofthe ticket, and the distance to each ofthese residential village is somewhat prohibitive,
there should be no need to address parking as an impact in the surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
Summary of Environmental Effects:
The MND for the Temporary Off-Road Race (IS-05-023) identified significant but mitigable impacts
to air quality, cultural resources, paleontological resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, public services and transportation and traffic. Air quality
impacts were primarily related to dust emissions during site preparation and the race event phase.
Mitigation to reduce air quality impacts include, but are not limited to, stabilization of exposed soils,
mowing of parking lots such that roots of the vegetation remain intact in order to provide soil
stabilization, prevention of soil track-out onto paved roads, watering of the race track between each
event, and watering of unpaved roads twice per day.
Although no impacts to significant recorded archeological sites or historic resources are anticipated
to occur, the potential to encounter other buried resources exists. In addition, grading ofthe project
site would impact Otay, San Diego and Sweetwater Fonnations, which have high resource potential
to bear paleontological resources. Mitigation for these potential impacts includes onsite monitoring
during site preparation.
The proposed project has the potential to result in significant erosion impacts during the site
preparation phase, race event phase and the post-event phase. Erosion control Best Management
Practices (BMPs) identified in the Stonn Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would mitigate
potential impacts resulting from erosion to less than significant. The BMPs would be identified in
the SWPPP, and preparation of a SWPPP to the satisfaction of the City Engineer is a required
mitigation measure included in the MMRP.
The proposed project has the potential to result in significant impacts associated with leaks/spills of
hazardous materials/waste into sensitive habitat areas. Implementation ofBMPs during all phases of
the project would mitigate potential impacts associated with hazardous materials/waste to less than
significant. The BMPs would be identified in the SWPPP, and preparation of a SWPPP to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer is a required mitigation measure included in the MMRP.
The project would involve a number of activities that have the potential to result in impacts to
hydrology and water quality, such as the potential to contribute pollutants, including oil and grease,
suspended solids, metals, gasoline, and pathogens to the receiving waters and erosion from
temporary manufactured slopes. BMPs would be implemented at each phase of the project to
mitigate potential impacts associated with hydrology and water quality to less than significant levels.
The BMPs would be identified in the SWPPP, and preparation of a SWPPP to the satisfaction ofthe
City Engineer is a required mitigation measure in the MMRP.
The proposed project has the potential to result in hazards associated with accidents during the race
events and, therefore, creates a temporary increase in demand for police, emergency medical and fire
Page 8, Item:
Meeting Date: 07/27/05
services. Preparation of security and medical plans to the satisfaction of the City Police and Fire
Chief would mitigate potential impacts to less than significant.
There is the potential for localized congestion at ingress and egress points ofthe project and parking
impacts on City roadways during the two weekends that the CaRR event would be held. To avoid
potential for significant impacts, a traffic control plan would be prepared in accordance with City
guidelines by the project applicant and submitted to the City of Chula Vista Engineering for review
and approval. The preparation of a traffic control plan would mitigate potential impacts to
circulation and parking to less than significant.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends approval ofthe temporary event conditional use pennit based on the findings and
conditions as noted in the draft City Council resolution.

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a temporary, one-time event involving Championship Off-Road Racing
(CORR) on a portion of the Otay Ranch property located south of Olympic Parkway, east of the
Otay Landfill and west of La Media Road. Exhibits 1 and 2 depict the proposed project location
on a regional and vicinity scale, respectively. The off-road race event will occur on two
consecutive weekends, September 23-25 and September 30-0ctober 2,2005. The off-road race
event will consist of up to 10 races each day of the event with eight classes of vehicles
competing during the CORR: Pro 2 (two-wheel drive), Pro 4 (four-wheel drive), Pro Light,
Sportsman Truck, Sportsman 2, Light Buggy, Single Buggy, and Super Buggy. Each race will
last approximately 15 minutes.
Exhibit 3 provides a graphical depiction of the site layout and orientation of uses for the
proposed CORR event. As shown in Exhibit 3, the site plan includes a temporary racetrack,
standslbleachers for spectators, food and restroom areas, pit area for race participants, and three
onsite parking lots. In addition, offsite parking areas would be available for overflow parking if
needed. A description of the site access/parking, site preparation and operation of the various
uses are provided below, as well as a description of activities that will occur at the site post-
operation.
Page 1 of 29
CORR Access and Parking
It is anticipated that the CORR event will draw approximately 24,000 spectators per day from the
San Diego County region. Access to the CORR event will be from both the Telegraph Canyon
Road and Olympic Parkway interchanges at I-805, located approximately four miles to the west.
Other local roadways that may be used include Heritage Road, La Media Road, and Birch Road.
Entrances into the race area will be provided from Olympic Parkway and La Media Road.
Based on an average of 2.5 passengers per vehicle, up to 9,600 parking spaces will be needed.
Parking for spectators will occur in designated onsite and offsite areas. A total of 7,797 parking
spaces will be provided onsite in three separate parking lots; Parking Lots A and B are located
adj acent to the event area and Parking Lot C is a remote lot located southeast of the event area
(Exhibit 3). Access to Parking Lot A will be provided by an existing dirt road off of Olympic
Parkway and will contain 4,600 spaces; access to Parking Lot B will be from an existing dirt
road off of La Media Road and would contain 782 spaces; and Parking Lot C will be accessible
from the unpaved portion of La Media and will include approximately 2,415 spaces. A shuttle
will be provided to transport spectators from Parking Lot C to the race area.
The remaining parking needs will be accommodated in several offsite parking locations. Offsite
parking areas will be available on the paved portion of Birch Road east of La Media Road, the
paved and unpaved portion of La Media Road (south of Santa Venetia), Otay Ranch High
School, and developed areas associated with Village 7 located southeast of the Birch Road and
La Media Road intersection. It is anticipated that approximately 2,100 vehicles could be
accommodated at offsite parking areas.
No race-event parking will be pennitted in residential areas. Race-event staff members will be
positioned at entrances into residential areas to direct traffic into designated parking areas. No
parking will be pennitted along existing dirt access roads off of Olympic Parkway and La Media
Road.
Site Preparation Phase
Site preparation is anticipated to take approximately three to four weeks prior to race events.
Activities associated with site preparation involve grading for the racetrack, set up for the pit
area for race crews, spectator stands and food service areas, and installation of Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sediment transport. In order to reduce soil erosion and
dust emissions from parking areas, mowing of existing agricultural fields has been conducted in
conjunction with ongoing harvesting activities such that roots and approximately one inch of
vegetation will remain intact to stabilize the soil.
Grading for the track will involve creation of an inner track approximately 3,600 linear feet in
length and a track extension for longer races, which will be approximately 7,200 linear feet in
length (Exhibit 3). The temporary track will be designed to include several "humps and bumps,"
and the maximum cut depth will be approximately 40 feet. Grading for the temporary racetrack
is expected to be balanced such that no soil will be imported or exported. No grading will be
Page 2 of 29
required for the two main existing access roads into the project site; however, a cover of crushed
asphalt will be re-applied to minimize dust emissions. In addition, watering of the access roads
will occur throughout site preparation as well as on race days to minimize dust emissions.
Gravel may also be laid down at transition areas from dirt to paved surfaces to reduce dust.
The maintenance area for race vehicles will be located adjacent to the western edge of the
racetrack (Exhibit 3). This area, as well as the storage area for hazardous materials/waste and
restroom areas, will be lined with an impervious material to prevent spills and potential leakage
of automobile fluids and other materials into the ground or any waterways. In addition, any
storage, handling or disposal of hazardous materials/waste will be properly contained in
accordance with local, state and federal laws.
Because the CORR event is temporary, no pennanent utilities will be constructed. Generators for
lighting and electricity will be brought onto the site, as well as portable restrooms facilities and
water. Temporary standslbleachers and any equipment needed for the spectator and
entertainment areas will also be provided by the event sponsor.
A number of BMPs will be installed during this phase for erosion, sediment, dust and
trash/debris control. The required BMPs will be described in the Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prepared for the project and will require approval by the City
Engineer. These BMPs will be implemented to protect water quality of nearby drainages and air
quality in the project vicinity during the site preparation and race events.
Race Event Phase
As previously mentioned, the race events will occur on two consecutive weekends, September
23-25 and September 30-0ctober 2, 2005. Race events hours will be generally from 8 a.m. to 10
p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Up to 10 races will be held each day of the event and will start
at approximately 10 a.m. The last race will conclude at approximately 5 p.m. Post race events
may include an awards ceremony and live music entertainment. Loud speakers, microphones
and other audio-visual equipment will be provided to announce races. Because night-lighting
will be limited to the pit area, the awards ceremony and music entertainment will generally
conclude at sunset. During the week in-between the race weekends, the race areas will be closed
off to the public; access to the site will only be pennitted for race participants, crew members
and security staff. Racing events will not be held if it rains.
Race participants will arrive Friday, September 22, 2005. Equipment, race vehicles and some
race participants/crews will remain onsite for the duration of the event. Overnight use of the site
will be limited to only the race participants/crews and security. No overnight camping will be
permitted for spectators.
Security, fire and medical services will be provided on both weekends of the CORR. The event
sponsors will have security personnel onsite, at entrances and other offsite locations, as needed.
The City of Chula Vista Police Department will provide supplementary law enforcement
services. In addition, the City ofChula Vista Fire Department and an emergency medical service
provider will be available in case of medical emergencies. A security plan and emergency
Page 3 0[29
medical plan will be prepared by the project applicant and will be approved by the City Police
and Fire Departments, respectively, prior to the start of the race events. In addition, a traffic
control plan will be developed to facilitate arrival and departure from the event and will require
approval by the City Police Chief and City Engineer prior to the start of race events.
During the race, maintenance of racing vehicles will occur within the designated pit area.
Maintenance may include refueling, mounting racing wheels, and checking/refilling of fluids.
General clean-up and trash pick-up of the pit area, spectator stands, food/beverage area and
parking lots will occur on a daily basis. Access roads will be watered on race days to minimize
dust emissions.
Post Race Event Phase
Post-event activities essentially consist of site clean up and soil stabilization of exposed slopes.
All trash and debris generated by the proposed project will be removed. All temporary
structures, stands, bleachers, canopies, portable restroom facilities, and power generators will be
disassembled and removed from the site. Any containers with hazardous materials/waste will be
properly disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
BMPs that provide for erosion control and reduction of sediment transport into drainages,
including desilt basins and silt fencing, will remain in place. In addition, any created slopes will
be hydro seeded with a native seed mix that incorporates a soil binder/stabilizer at the direction of
the City Engineer. The native seed mix will contain drought tolerant, non-invasive plant species
as no irrigation will be provided. Stabilization of constructed slopes and other disturbed areas
within the project site will occur in accordance with the City's grading ordinance.
Discretionary Actions/Other Proiect Approvals
The project applicant applied for a Conditional Use Pennit (CUP) for approval to hold the
proposed one-time racing event on a portion of the Otay Ranch as shown in Exhibit 2. The
purpose of the environmental review provided through this Mitigated Negative Declaration
(MND) is to evaluate the potential environmental effects that could result from site preparation
necessary for the race, as well as activities associated with the race event. This MND has been
prepared by the City as the lead agency and in confonnance with 915070, subsection (a), of the
State CEQA Guidelines.
The following additional approvals may be required in order to implement the proposed project.
· City of Chula Vista Engineering: approval of SWPPP, traffic control plan, and grading
pennit;
· City of Chula Vista Police Department: approval of security plan and traffic control plan;
and
· City of Chula Vista Fire Department: approval of emergency medical plan.

B. PROJECT SETTING
The proposed project site is located within a portion of Otay Ranch, in southern San Diego
County, California (Exhibit 1). Specifically, the project area occupies approximately 149 acres
southwest of the Olympic Parkway and La Media Road intersection in the City of Chula Vista as
shown in Exhibit 2. The project site is located on the U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute series,
Otay Mesa quadrangle, Section 12, Township 18 South, Range 1 West. Olympic Parkway forms
the northern border of the proposed project site, with Wolf Canyon located adjacent to the
southeastern portion of the site. The future southern alignment of Heritage Road will be the
western boundary of the site. La Media Road generally fonns the eastern boundary of the site.
With the exception of an offsite area located in Village 7 (east of La Media) that may be used for
overflow parking if necessary. The Lower Otay Landfill is located southwest of the site (Exhibit
2). The Lower Otay Reservoir is over three miles east of the project, and Interstate 805 is
approximately one mile to the west.
The entire project site is topographically diverse with elevations ranging from 200 feet above
mean sea level (AMSL) in the southern portion to 535 feet AMSL in the northeastern portion.
The project site consists of rolling hills and relatively steep tributary canyons and is situated
between two significant ridgelines: Poggi Canyon, which is located to the north and Wolf
Canyon, which occurs to the south of the site. Numerous drainages trend north to south into
Wolf Canyon, eventually draining into Otay River which is two miles to the south of the site.
Poggi Canyon creek runs along the northern border of the site within channels created as part of
the Olympic Parkway project. Soils onsite consist of Diablo clays, Diablo-Olivenhain complex,
terrace escarpments, Linne clay loams, Olivenhain cobbly loams, and Salinas clay loam
(Bowman 1973).
The CORR racetrack, location of parking lots and other uses associated with the proposed
project were intentionally sited and designed to avoid impacts to sensitive vegetation types. The
existing land covers within the footprint of the proposed project, which includes the CORR track,
pit area, spectator stands, foodlbeverage area and parking lots, consist of previously
graded/developed areas associated with previously approved activities (soil borrow sites and the
fonner ranch headquarters), ruderal (weedy) areas adjacent to the ranch headquarters, and
agricultural land. The agricultural land consists of dry fanning (primarily barley crops) and
cattle grazing. A number of dirt roads also occur on the site. The proposed project area does not
contain any natural or sensitive habitats.
Surrounding land uses include the Otay Ranch High School immediately north of the site,
developed residential uses in Village One located farther to the north (north of the existing
Olympic Parkway), developing residential uses in Village Six (east of the existing paved La
Media Road), Otay Landfill to the southwest, and undeveloped land to the south and southeast.

of the mitigation measures described in the Program EIR. The Otay Ranch GDP/SRP plans for
ultimate development of the proposed project site.
Olympic Parkway MND
A portion of the site where the pit areas will be located has been previously graded as a soil
borrow site for the construction of Olympic Parkway. As such, the environmental analysis
(MND) for Olympic Parkway addressed the environmental effects associated with removal of
land covers, and grading of the site. Issues addressed that are relevant to the proposed action
included potential impacts associated with erosion, air quality, biological resources and cultural
resources.
Villa2:e Seven Sectional Plannin2: Area and Tentative Maps EIR
Parking Lot C will be located within a portion of Village Four, southeast of Wolf Canyon (see
Exhibit 3). The area designated as Parking Lot C has been approved to be graded as a borrow
site, which includes a portion of La Media Road south of Birch Road, for the Village Seven SPA
and associated Tentative Maps. Impacts associated with the borrow site was discussed in the
Village Seven Sectional Planning Area Plan and Tentative Maps Final EIR 04-06 (Certified
October 12,2004). The primary issues addressed in the Village Seven Sectional Planning Area
Plan and Tentative Maps final EIR 04-06 relative to the borrow site included erosion/water
quality/drainage, air quality, biological resources and cultural resources.
D. COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING AND PLANS
The project site is part of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) and Resource
Management Plan (RMP). The GDP and RMP were approved by the County of San Diego and
the City of Chula Vista in October of 1993. The GDP identifies conceptual development,
circulation and open space plans. It is contemplated that each Village of Otay Ranch will be
developed in accordance with a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, which will outline specific
development standards and regulations and will function in the same manner as zoning
regulations.
Current zoning for the site is Planned Community (PC). However, specific Planned Community
District Regulations have not yet been adopted, and will be required as part of a future SPA plan
Page 6 of29
for Village Two. The proposed activities will be a conditionally pennitted use within the PC
zone subject to a CUP. Because the use is temporary, it will not require amendments to the
Chula Vista General Plan, or the Otay Ranch GDP.
E. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The City of Chula Vista detennined that the proposed project would have significant
environmental effects. These effects have been mitigated. The preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report would not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Aesthetics
The proposed project would occur over two weekends and does not propose any pennanent
structures or improvements. The total area that would be used by the proposed event activities
encompasses approximately 149 acres, of which 57 acres have already been graded as a soil
borrow location for other development in Otay Ranch. Therefore, the project would result in
minor grading and surface preparation of approximately 92 acres. Grading will be necessary to
prepare the race track. Parking lot areas that have not been already graded as part of a previous
approval have been mowed in conjunction with ongoing fanning activities. Because these areas
proposed for parking would still appear as harvested agricultural fields and would not be cleared
of all vegetation, there would be little visual change for the parking lots. The project has been
designed to conform to existing landfonns, and therefore would not result in substantial landform
alteration.
The proposed activities would include temporary tent-like structures, shade canopies, and
portable restroom facilities as well as parked vehicles that would be visible from some public
and private vantages points primarily to the north and east. However, the majority of the
temporary racetrack would not be visible from public roadways. Existing topography
surrounding the temporary racetrack would obstruct most views of the racetrack from public
roadways. Some nighttime security lighting would occur in limited areas within the race
participant areas in the northern portion of the site. As previously mentioned, all race event
activities would end by 10 p.m. Because the nighttime lighting would be temporary, occurring
over two consecutive weekends, the proposed project would not permanently alter the aesthetic
or visual character of the site or result in a new source of substantial light or glare. Therefore,
the project is not anticipated to result in any significant impacts to aesthetics.
Air Quality
An air quality technical report was prepared for the project and is available at the City of Chula
Vista for review. Vehicle traffic would be the main source of air emissions associated with the
project. Other project related emissions would occur from grading activities during site
preparation and race vehicle emissions generated during race events.
Page 7 of 29
Site Preparation Phase
Site preparation emissions would be generated from site preparation equipment exhaust and their
transport to and from the site, dust generated by site preparation/grading, exhaust from cars and
trucks of workers at the site (commute and non-commute), and exhaust from a diesel trucks used
for watering.
Site preparation is estimated to take 3 to 4 weeks, or at the pace of approximately 6.8 acres per
day. The air quality model that was used in the Air Quality Technical Report assumed 22 days
(the 1 month default in the program). The results are shown Table 1, which gives the calculated
emissions along with significance thresholds for each pollutant. Daily emissions assume that all
tasks would be likely to occur simultaneously during some days of the site preparation period.
As shown in Table 1, none of the calculated values would exceed the significance thresholds.
Therefore, site preparation air quality impacts would be less than significant. Even though the
calculated emission levels would exceed existing thresholds, measures are required to further
reduce potential fugitive dust impacts during site preparation to below significance (Section G).
Race Event Phase
The primary source of emissions created during the event would be automotive traffic from
spectators, employees, support vehicles, and the race participants. From 10 to 12 vehicles are
expected to participate in each race, and each race is expected to last 15 minutes. There would be
15 minute intervals between races, during which trucks would spray water to moisten the
racetrack. Up to 40 races are expected to take place over of the four days of competition. In
calculating emissions from the racing vehicles, an average speed of 65 mph was used, covering a
maximum length of 16.5 miles in the 15 minutes allotted to each race. All portable generators
greater than 50HP would have appropriate permits from the California Air Resource Board
(CARB), therefore, these emissions are not included in this analysis.
Table 2 shows the calculated emissions for the four day event in the month of September using
the URBEMIS 2002 model and CARB's EMFAC 2002 emission factors. As shown in Table 2,
project operation emissions will not exceed the City's daily significance thresholds and are not
considered significant.
In addition to measuring overall air quality effects, the analysis for the project examined
localized carbon monoxide (CO) impacts. CO is the pollutant of major concern along roadways
because the most notable sources of carbon monoxide are motor vehicles. For this reason carbon
monoxide concentrations are usually indicative of the local air quality generated by a roadway
network, and are used as an indicator of its impacts on local air quality. Local air quality impacts
can be assessed by comparing future carbon monoxide levels with State and Federal carbon
monoxide standards.
Page 8 0[29
As previously mentioned, the CaRR may attract approximately 24,000 spectators. The two
intersections along Olympic Parkway near the project were assumed to be at a level of service
(LOS) C or below during peak arrival and departure times on the two weekends. Therefore, CO
concentrations were modeled at existing sensitive receptors near the intersections of Heritage
Road and Olympic Parkway, and La Media Road and Olympic Parkway. Both morning and
afternoon CO concentration levels were measured and modeled at these intersections. For the
morning scenario, the highest calculated concentration of CO was 10.7 parts per million (ppm) at
the corner of Heritage Road and Olympic Parkway. When added to the background of 5.3 pp,
the highest concentration from the events phase would be 16 ppm. In the afternoon scenario, a
maximum concentration of CO was 1.2 ppm at the corner of La Media road and Olympic
Parkway. When added to the CO background, this yields 6.5 ppm. Factors included in these
calculations include temperature, travel speeds, traffic volume, meteorology, peak arrival and
departure times and wind speed. Thus, both the morning and afternoon peak travel times would
result in CO levels well below the State standard of 20 ppm and Federal standard of 35 ppm.
Therefore, CO levels due to racetrack operations would be less than significant.
Although the calculated emissions levels would not violate existing standards, measures are
provided in Section G to further reduce fugitive dust and emission levels.
Post Race Event Phase
Once the operation phase of the project has been completed, emissions would be generated from
the transport of any contaminated soil (i.e., oil and gasoline from on-site vehicles) from the
project site to appropriate disposal locations approved by local, state, and federal agencies. If
required for site cleanup, it is anticipated that soil would be transported off-site.
In addition, after the racing event is completed, the disturbed areas of the site would be
hydroseeded to stabilize slopes and reduce runoff during the rainy season. The activities
involved with hydroseeding include one truck traveling to the project site and spraying the
hydroseed mix onto the effected areas. Hence, one additional truck would be traveling to and
from the project site, post project operation.
The quantity of trucks traveling to and from the project and amount of soil being disturbed
during the post-operation phase is anticipated to be less than what would be generated during the
site preparation phase and therefore, post-operation emissions are anticipated to be less than
significant. No mitigation measures are required.
At!ricultural Resources
Historically, the project area was used for dry fanning, as well as cattle and sheep grazing. Crop
production was limited to hay and grains (typically barley) due to limited water availability.
Portions of the property that have not been disturbed by existing grading (soil borrow) or
historical use as the ranch headquarters are actively tilled. The project area does not contain
designated Prime Fannland, Fannland of Statewide Importance or Unique Fannland (United
States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, California Department of
Page 9 of 29
Agriculture). The site has been locally designated as Fannland of Local Importance and IS
identified as Grazing Land. No land within the project areas is subject to the Williamson Act.
According to the current vegetation mapping, approximately 74 acres of agricultural land would
be included within the areas proposed for grading and use for the proposed project. Grading of
agricultural resources would occur for areas designated as the temporary racetrack and pit areas.
For areas designated as parking lots, existing agricultural fields have been mowed in conjunction
with ongoing harvesting activities such that roots and approximately one inch of vegetation
would remain intact to stabilize the soil.
Site preparation and the one-time race event would not preclude future continuation of
agricultural operations. Grading will not result in substantial removal or alteration of soils
suitable for agricultural use. Therefore, implementation of the project would not preclude future
ongoing agricultural use of the site, and there would be no impacts to agricultural uses on the
site.
Biolot!ical Resources
Evaluation of biological resources is based on the Biological Resources Report and Impact
Assessment for Otay Ranch Villages Two and Three, as well as supplemental field verification
perfonned on May 25, 2005 for the proposed project. The field verification consisted of a
pedestrian walk-over of the site to visually verify existing site conditions.
The proposed activities would take place within areas that are mapped as developed, agriculture,
and ruderal habitat (see Table 3). No sensitive habitats or species are within the proposed
disturbance area of the project (Exhibit 4).
The project would not result in any direct impacts to sensitive biological resources, including
sensitive habitats or species. The entire project area has been subject to ongoing disturbance
from approved grading, historic development and agricultural uses. These land cover types are
not considered sensitive under the Otay Ranch RMP or the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species
Conservation Program Subarea Plan. Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse
effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional
plans, policies, or regulations.
The project site does not support species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status
species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of
Fish and Game (CDFG) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The project site may offer
some foraging habitat for raptors. Although the project would potentially disturb foraging
habitat, the proposed use is temporary and would not significantly impact foraging raptors over
the long-tenn. In addition, the portion of the site designated for parking has been mowed in
conjunction with ongoing agricultural activities, and regeneration of vegetation in those areas
could occur. Therefore, the project would not result in direct significant impacts to sensitive
habitats or species.
Page 10 of29
The wetland delineation performed for the Villages Two and Three Biological Resources Report
did not identify any of the drainages within the project disturbance area as jurisdictional waters
of the United States under the jurisdiction of the Anny Corps of Engineers or waters of the State
under the jurisdiction of the CDFG. Therefore, the project would not have any direct substantial
adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The project site does not support movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species, nor is it part of any identified wildlife corridors. Therefore, the project would not result
in impacts to wildlife movement.
The proposed race event area is included in areas covered by the Otay Ranch GDP and RMP.
The RMP identifies Preserve areas within Otay Ranch, and contains policies regarding species
and habitat conservation, requirements for conveyance of Preserve land, long-tenn management
of the Preserve, and funding for management. In addition to the GDP/RMP for Otay Ranch, the
municipalities of southern San Diego County collaborated in producing the MSCP Subregional
Plan. The MSCP Subregional Plan is implemented through individual Subarea Plans adopted by
each jurisdiction receiving take authorization for covered species. The City of Chula Vista
approved their Subarea Plan in 2003, and take authorization was issued in January 2005. The
Chula Vista Subarea Plan provides for conservation of upland habitats and species through
preserve design, regulation of impacts and uses, and management of the preserve. The project is
outside of the designated Preserve areas of both the RMP and the MSCP Subarea Plan.
In order to minimize edge effects to the Preserve, adjacency requirements and guidelines have
been included in the Subarea Plan. All new developments are required to adhere to these
guidelines. Although the CORR event is not a development project, adjacency guidelines are
considered for this one-time temporary event. These guidelines fall into the following main
categories: drainage, toxic substances, noise, lighting, and invasive species.
The project site preparation and uses have the potential to result in indirect impacts associated
with dust and erosion/deposition, and runoff into offsite areas containing sensitive biological
resources. As described under Hydrology and Water Quality, all project runoff, including from
the racetrack, spectator area and parking lots, would drain into one of three desilt basins. In
addition, BMPs would be implemented during site preparation, operation of the race and post
operation to mitigate potential impacts associated with urban runoff into sensitive habitat areas.
In addition, as described under Hazards and Hazardous Material, BMPs would be implemented
during all phases of the project to mitigate for potential impacts associated with hazardous
waste/toxins entering drainages. These BMPs would be specified in the SWPPP that would be
prepared for City review and approval. These measures would reduce dust and runoff effects on
offsite areas to less than significant levels.
CaRR would involve the use, transport, storage, handling and disposal of toxic substances such
as gasoline and other automotive fluids. Use of these substances would occur for a short
duration of time for this one-time racing event. No use of these substances would occur in the
MSCP Preserve, which is located over 100 feet from the edge of the racetrack and over 500 feet
from the pit area. As discussed under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section, BMPs
would be implemented during all phases of the project to mitigate for potential impacts
Page 11 of29
associated with hazardous waste/toxins entering drainages. These BMPs would be specified in
the SWPPP that would be prepared for City review and approval.
Noise resulting from project related activities could have the potential to disrupt breeding
activities of the coastal California gnatcatcher. However, the site preparation activities and the
CORR events would occur outside of the breeding season for this species (February 15 through
August 15). In addition, the nearest known coastal California gnatcatchers were detected over
500 feet away to the west on the Otay Landfill and in the northwestern portion of Village Two.
Therefore, indirect biological impacts associated with noise would be less than significant.
Temporary lighting associated with the CaRR event would be limited to the pit area and
spectator area. The evening lighting would be necessary for the post race event activities such as
the award ceremony and entertainment. All CaRR activities would conclude by 10 p.m. No
nighttime lighting is proposed with the exception of limited lighting for security in the northern
portion of the site. No post-operation lighting would occur. Because nighttime lighting would
be required for a short duration of time (two weekends) until 10 pm in the evening, no indirect
lighting impacts are anticipated. In addition, lighted areas are located over 500 feet away from
the Preserve. Less than significant indirect lighting impacts are anticipated.
To ensure that no adverse effects associated with invasive plant species occur, the hydroseed
plant mix would contain native plant species. The hydroseed mix would be applied as a post-
construction BMP to prevent erosion on created slopes within the project area. Post-construction
BMPs would be described in the SWPPP that would be prepared for City review and approval.
With the application of these avoidance measures and BMPs, no significant impact related to
invasive species would result.
As previously discussed, the project does not contain biological resources that are considered
sensitive, or that would contribute to conservation of species that are covered under the Subarea
Plan. Therefore, implementation of the proposed temporary uses would not result in any conflicts
with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation
Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.
Cultural Resources
Archaeological investigations have been conducted on the project site. Three archaeological
sites have been recorded within the project impact area: SDI-11,294H; SDI-12,289; and SDI-
16,679. Two of these sites, SDI-12,289 and SDI-16,679, were identified as small prehistoric
camps. These two sites were subjected to testing and evaluation programs and detennined not to
be significant. The third site, SDI-11 ,294H, is the location of the Otay Ranch Fann Complex.
This historic site was subjected to a data recovery investigation. The investigations of the
historic site resulted in the mitigation of impacts to the site from proposed development of the
Village Two SPA Plan. No further investigations were required for the historic site.
The proposed project would impact these three recorded sites, however, since the resources at
these sites were detennined not to be significant, the project would not result in a substantial
adverse change in the significance of archaeological or historic resources. Although no impacts
Page 12 of29
to significant recorded archeological sites or historic resources would occur, the potential to
encounter buried resources exists. Any impacts to unknown buried cultural resources are
considered significant. Measures to reduce potential impacts to unknown buried cultural
resources to less than significant are provided in Section G and include monitoring by a qualified
archeologist during grading activities of the site preparation phase.
Geologic fonnations underlying the project site include Otay Fonnation with accumulations of
colluvial and alluvial deposits in the drainage course bottoms, the San Diego Fonnation, the
Sweetwater Fonnation, Terrace Deposits and the Mission Valley Fonnation. The Otay, San
Diego and Sweetwater Fonnations have high resource potential to bear paleontological
resources, and the Terrace Deposits and Mission Valley Fonnation have moderate resource
potential. Site preparation would involve grading for the temporary track. Maximum cut depth
within graded areas would be 40 feet. Site preparation activities have the potential to encounter
unknown buried paleontological resources. Potential impacts to such resources are considered
significant. Measures to reduce potential impacts to unknown buried paleontological resources
to less than significant are provided in Section G and include monitoring by a qualified
paleontologist during grading activities for cut slopes. Investigations on the site did not reveal
the potential for human remains to be present on the site; therefore, no impacts to such resources
are anticipated.
Geolo2:V and Soils
A preliminary geotechnical investigation performed on the project site indicates that no
geotechnical hazards exist within the project vicinity that would have the potential to impact the
proposed uses. Site preparation would have the potential to result in significant erosion impacts.
Erosion control measures and erosion BMPs are identified in Section G under Hydrology and
Water Quality, and would mitigate potential impacts resulting from erosion to less than
significant. The erosion control measures and erosion BMPs would also be identified in the
SWPPP that would be prepared for City review and approval. With implementation of the
proposed mitigation measures during site preparation and operation, impacts resulting from
potential soil erosion would be less than significant.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
CORR would involve the transport, storage, and handling of hazardous materials (gasoline and
engine fluids) associated with the proposed activities for a short duration of time. Potential
impacts resulting from exposure to or leaks/spills of hazardous materials may occur; however,
BMPs would be in place that would reduce potential impacts to less than significant. The BMPs
would be identified in the SWPPP that would be prepared for City review and approval. These
BMPs are identified as mitigation measures in Section G of this document and include features
such as special drums that would serve as self-contained treatment for all runoff from
maintenance bays (pit areas), vehicle and equipment wash areas, bathroom areas, and trash and
material storage areas. The Vactor trucks would be used to remove runoff from the containment
drums and the collected runoff would be disposed of in accordance with City standards.
Hazardous materials would be placed in an enclosure that prevents contact with runoff or
spillage to the storm water conveyance system. Storage, wash, and maintenance areas for race
Page 13 of29
vehicles and hazardous materials/waste, as well as restroom areas would be lined with an
impervious material to contain leaks and spills and these areas would (where feasible) have a
roof or awning to minimize direct precipitation within the secondary containment area. With
implementation of the BMPs, project impacts related to hazardous materials would be less than
significant.
H ydrolo2Y and Water Quality
The project would involve a number of activities that have the potential to result in potential
impacts to hydrology and water quality. During site preparation, grading for the track would
occur which may result in exposed soil and temporary stockpiling of soil. During race events,
urban runoff from the improved site has the potential to contribute pollutants, including oil and
grease, suspended solids, metals, gasoline, and pathogens to the receiving waters. Once the
CORR event is complete, some portions of the site, including manufactured slopes, may be
exposed and susceptible to erosion. Pollutants of concern associated with the proposed project
are grouped into the following categories:
Sediments (Total Suspended Solids - TSS): anticipated pollutant from racetrack and non-paved
parking areas
Metals: anticipated pollutant from pit service area, racetrack, vehicle wash area, and parking lots
Oil and Grease: anticipated pollutant from pit service area, racetrack, vehicle wash area, and
parking lots
Trash, Debris & Floatables: anticipated pollutant from entire site (includes paper, plastic, food
waste, etc.)
Bacteria and Viruses: anticipated pollutant from restroom facility, trash storage areas, and
foodlbeverage areas
Organic Compounds and Oxygen-Demanding Substances: anticipated pollutant from pit
service area, racetrack, vehicle wash area, parking lots, restroom facilities, and food/beverage
areas
In order to address these issues, features have been incorporated into the project design to
minimize water quality impacts. The project has been designed to maintain a minimum distance
of 100 feet to the MSCP Preserve (Exhibit 3). In addition, the racetrack has been designed such
that runoff would drain into a treatment BMP and away from the MSCP Preserve and Wolf
Canyon.
With project design features, potential impacts to hydrology and water quality may still occur;
however, BMPs would be implemented at each phase of the project to mitigate potential impacts
to less than significant levels. The BMPs would be identified in the SWPPP and would be
submitted for City review and approval. Preparation of a SWPPP to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer is included in Section G as a mitigation measure to reduce potential impacts to water
Page 14 of29
quality to less than significant. BMPs to be identified in the SWPPP may include, but are not
limited to the following: desilt basins, special drums for containment of waste, trash and
hazardous materials and silt fencing/sand bags.
Because of the scope of activities proposed and the short duration of the proposed project, the
CORR events would not have the ability to substantially alter the flow of surface or groundwater.
In addition, the project would not involve pumping of groundwater and would therefore not
result in the possibility of depletion of groundwater supplies. The project site is not within a
100-year flood plain and does not propose construction of pennanent structures.
The project would not directly discharge to an existing stonn drain system and would not alter
any drainage pattern. Therefore, no impact upon stonn water conveyance capacities would occur.
Land Use/Planninf!
The proposed project would not permanently alter land use or propose any changes to existing or
planned uses. Although the proposed project site is ultimately planned for development, the
proposed use is a one-time event and would not preclude the return of the site to its existing uses.
Therefore, the project would not divide an established community or conflict with any land use
plans or policies adopted for the purposes of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The
project would also be consistent with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, as it is located
within a 100% development area of a Covered Project. Therefore, the project would not result in
any impacts to land use and planning.
Mineral Resources
No locally-important mineral resources are located within the project site. Further, the project
would not involve extensive excavation or earthwork (including import or export of materials)
that would have the potential to result in a loss of resources. Therefore, no impacts to mineral
resources are anticipated.
Noise
An Acoustical Analysis was prepared for the project. Vehicles traveling to and from the project
site are anticipated to be the main source of noise associated with the project.
Applicable Standards
The City of Chula Vista Noise Ordinance restricts times of construction activities from 7:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and prohibits construction on Sundays and holidays.
Furthennore, the noise levels from construction activities to residential receptors are not to
exceed 75 dB, averaged over a 12-hour period.
Fixed source and/or operational noise is also governed by the City of Chula Vista Noise
Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 19.68). Specifically, Code 19.68.030 Exterior noise limits
designates maximum noise levels for several land use categories. The exterior noise limit
Page 15 of29
provided for all residential (except multifamily dwelling uses) is 55 dB(A), whereas, the noise
level for multi-family residential dwelling units is designated at 60 dB(A). These noise levels
apply from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on the weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.
However, the proposed project is classified as a temporary outdoor gathering, and as such is
considered to be exempt from the provisions of the Ordinance, pursuant to Section 19.60.060
(B).
Site Preparation Phase
Site preparation noise would be generated by diesel engine driven equipment, which are
anticipated to be used for site preparation and grading. Additional noise would be generated by
typical site preparation activities, such as the use of power equipment. Noise levels during this
phase would widely range as a function of the equipment used and the activity level. Earth-
moving equipment may produce temporary noise levels ranging from 75 to 90 dB CNEL at a
distance of 50 feet from the equipment for short periods during site preparation and grading. Site
preparation noise sources are not strictly related to a noise standard because they occur only
during selected times, and source strength varies sharply with time. The penalty associated with
noise disturbance during quiet hours and the nuisance factor accompanying such disturbance
usually leads to time limits on grading activities imposed as conditions on grading pennits. The
hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. from Monday through Saturday have been identified in the
City of Chula Vista Noise Ordinance as mitigating construction activity noise impacts to the
extent feasible. Limitations on site preparation activities are considered to mitigate short-tenn
noise impacts to less than significant levels. No additional mitigation measures are provided.
Race Event Phase
Several activities associated with the race event would contribute to the overall acoustic impact
of the project, including: generators for power; spectator passenger vehicles; paddock and pre-
race staging traffic; actual racing; loudspeaker announcements and after race events.
Spectators would typically arrive along Olympic Parkway and Telegraph Canyon Road. Other
local roads that would provide direct access to the site are La Media Road, Heritage Road, and
Birch Road. Driving conditions and traffic control measures would result in spectator vehicle
speeds being relatively slow, approximately within the 5 to 15 mph range, and therefore sound
levels would be considerably below ambient levels and would not be perceptible at the sensitive
receptor locations.
Sensitive receptors that have the potential to receive noise from the site include residential
development to the north of the project site, across Olympic Parkway (Village One), and
residential development to east of the project site across La Media Road (Village Six). Existing
weekend morning noise measurements at the sensitive receptors consist of 62.1 dB (A) at Village
One (which has a direct line of site to a portion of the proposed track and Olympic Parkway);
and 54.7 dB(A) at Village Six (which does not have a direct line of site to the track or Olympic
Parkway). There was no traffic along La Media or Birch at the time of measurement.
Page 16 of29
Single car sounds at 50 feet from the source are reported to be 100dB. This noise level is
monitored by CORR. The "race start sounds" at 50 feet from the source are reported as 113dB.
Using standard spherical spreading for a point source, the distance to specific noise levels was
calculated. With individual vehicles producing 100dB at 50 feet, five vehicles would produce
107 dB. Using 107 dB at 50 feet from the track, it is predicted that neighboring residents could
be exposed to noise levels up to 75 dB. This analysis assumes direct line of sight to the track. It
does not consider existing structures or terrain features such as open earth, topography and trees
as potential noise limiting sources. Noise levels also decay with distance. The potential for any
specific receiver to be exposed to noise from a race event will depend upon its particular
configuration relative to the race site.
In addition to noise generated from racing activities, post race events such as commentators on
loud speakers and mini concerts would be held at the project site until sunset. Due to the
distance of the residential units to the site, the sound attenuation that is already in place along
properties exposed to Olympic Parkway and La Media Road, and the hours of activities, impacts
would be less than significant.
Chapter 19.68 of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code provides the performance standards
and noise control regulations in the City. Section 19.68.060 exempts:
.. . occasional outdoor gatherings, public dances, shows and sporting and
entertainment events, provided the events are conducted pursuant to a pennit or
license issued by the city relative to the staging of the events.
As previously noted, the race event would only occur for four days (two weekends). It is not a
regularly scheduled activity and will not occur at this location again. The noise generated will be
intennittent in that races would not occur continuously. It is a sporting and entertainment event,
and therefore is not covered by the noise control ordinance.
While the noise generated by the proposed project may exceed established levels provided by
Code 19.68, it would represent a one-time annoyance depending upon the number of events, the
time between events, the time the events occur, the distance to the event and line of sight to the
event. Because it is classified as a temporary outdoor gathering and is exempt from the
provisions of the Noise Ordinance, would potentially result in elevated noise levels intermittently
over four days, it is not considered a significant noise impact.
Post Race Event Phase
Noise generated from the post race event phase would be limited to clean up activities such as
the removal of trash, and hazards materials or waste. In addition to clean up activities,
hydroseeding would occur to constructed slopes and other disturbed areas within the project site.
These activities would require the use of a couple of trucks traveling to and from the project site.
These truck trips would be less than those generated during the site preparation phase and would
not be significant noise sources. Clean-up and hydroseeding activities would be short-tenn in
nature and are not considered significant. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Page 170[29
Population and Housing
The proposed project would not change land uses or propose activities that would affect
population or housing growth.
Public Services
The proposed project would not involve changing land uses that would result in increased
pennanent demand for public services personnel, equipment and facilities or result in changes in
service levels. The proposed project has the potential to result in hazards associated with
accidents during the race events and therefore creates a temporary increase in demand for police
and fire services. The closest fire station that would respond to an incident at the project site is
located at 1640 Santa Venetia, approximately one-half mile to the east. In order to reduce
impacts associated with accidents, security and safety, measures included in Section G of this
document would mitigate potential impacts to less than significant.
Recreation
The proposed project would not involve changing land uses that would result III increased
demand for recreational facilities or services.
Tra ns po rtatio n/Traffic
It is estimated that approximately 9,600 vehicles per day of the event would access the site, via
Olympic Parkway and La Media Road. It is not anticipated that the additional traffic associated
with the event would result in unacceptable levels of service on any affected roadway. However,
there is the potential for localized congestion at ingress and egress points of the project and
parking impacts on City roadways during the two weekends that the CaRR event would be held.
To avoid potential for significant impacts, a traffic control plan would be prepared in accordance
with City guidelines by the project applicant and submitted to the City of Chula Vista
Engineering for review and approval prior to issuance of the CUP. The preparation of a traffic
control plan would mitigate potential impacts to circulation and parking to less than significant.
Elements of the traffic control plan would include, but not limited to, a description of the
signage, striping, delineate detours, flagging operations and any other devices which would be
used during events to guide motorists safely to ingress locations from public roadways. The
traffic control plan would also include provisions for coordinating with local emergency service
providers regarding event times and measures for bicycle lane safety. The Traffic Control Plan
would ensure that access and traffic flow would be maintained, and that emergency access would
not be restricted. Additionally, the Plan would ensure that congestion and delay of traffic
resulting from the event are not substantially increased and would be of a short-tenn nature.
Utilities and Service Systems
The proposed project would not involve changing land uses or activities that would result in
increased demand for utilities. Because the project would be a one-time event, no permanent
Page 18 of29
utilities would be constructed. Generators would provide power for lighting and electricity.
Portable restrooms and water would also be brought in for use during the CORR.
Thresholds
The project would not result in any of the identified growth management thresholds falling
below acceptable levels, as indicated in the discussion of public services, traffic and utilities and
servIces.
F. PUBLIC COMMENTS
On May 20, 2005, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot
radius of the proposed project site. The notice period ended June 2,2005. No written comments
were received in response to the Notice of Initial Study.
G. MITGA TION NECESSARY TO AVOID SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
Project-specific mitigation measures are required to reduce potential environmental impacts
identified in this Mitigated Negative Declaration to a less than significant level. These
mitigation measures are listed below and included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) included as Attachment A to this MND.
Air Quality
1. Prior to approval of any grading pennit, the following measures shall be placed as notes
on all grading plans and implemented during grading of each phase of the project:
· Workers shall perfonn excavation, grading, materials handling, and hauling in
compliance with SDAPCD Regulation 4, Rules 52 and 54 regarding fugitive
dust for Control of Fine Particulate Matter (PM 1 0). Specific measures to be
included in construction specifications shall address the maintenance of
adequate moisture content in soils to be excavated and transported; the
stabilization of exposed graded areas; the cleaning of paved roads to be used
as haul roads; paving or alternate treatment of unpaved roads considered for
haul roads; and prevention of soil track-out from construction areas onto
paved roads.
· Low emission mobile construction equipment shall be used, where feasible.
· The construction contractors shall obtain applicable air quality pennits for any
portable or stationary internal combustion engine subject to SDAPCD pennit
requirements.
· To reduce fugitive dust, the graded area, the temporary stockpile material, and
the unpaved roads shall be watered twice a day to reduce PM 1 0 levels. A
stockpile pennit from APCD is already in place for the site.
Page 19 of29
· Truck speeds on unpaved roads shall not exceed 15 miles per hour.
· All trucks hauling materials subject to wind dispersal shall be watered and
covered.
· All disturbed soil areas not subject to re-vegetation shall be stabilized with
approved nontoxic soil binders, jute netting, or other methods, as appropriate.
· Idling time of trucks and other construction equipment shall be minimized.
· Groundcover on the construction site shall be re-established through seeding
and watering on those portions of the site that will not be disturbed for lengthy
periods (such as two months or more).
· The streets shall be swept immediately when silt is carried over to adjacent
public thoroughfares.
· Grading operations shall be suspended when wind speeds (as instantaneous
gusts) exceed 25 mph.
· Construction equipment engmes shall be maintained by keeping them
properly tuned.
· Low sulfur fuel shall be used for stationary construction equipment.
· Existing power sources (e.g., power poles) or clean fuel generators rather than
temporary power generators shall be used, whenever feasible.
· The short and long tracks shall be watered by four trucks during each 15-
minute rest period.
· All parking lots shall be mowed such that roots of the vegetation remain intact
in order to provide soil stabilization.
· Parking lots and other areas with exposed dirt shall be watered to minimize
fugitive dust, as necessary.
Cultural Resources
2. Prior to approval of the grading pennit, the Applicant shall incorporate into grading
plans, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and Environmental Review Coordinator,
the following:
· Construction monitoring shall be conducted by a qualified archeologist during
grading activities. The monitoring shall be perfonned to detennine if there is
Page 20 of29
likelihood for buried cultural resources (i.e., hearths) to be present. In the
event buried resources are encountered, grading shall be temporarily halted or
redirected to another area while the nature of the discovery is evaluated.
Resources that are encountered shall be tested to detennine if the resource is
significant. If testing detennines the resource is significant, then a data
recovery program shall be developed to mitigate impacts resulting from
grading.
· Prior to approval of the grading permit, the applicant shall confinn to the City
of Chula Vista that a qualified paleontologist has been retained to carry out
the following mitigation program. (A qualified paleontologist is defined as an
individual with a M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology who is familiar
with paleontological procedures and techniques.) The paleontologist shall
attend pregrade meetings to consult with grading and excavation contractors.
· During grading operations, a paleontological monitor shall be on-site at all
times during the original cutting of previously undisturbed sediments of
highly sensitive geologic fonnations (i.e., Otay Fonnation) to inspect cuts for
contained fossils. (A paleontological monitor is defined as an individual who
has experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials.) The
paleontological monitor shall work under the direction of a qualified
paleontologist. The monitor shall periodically (every several weeks) inspect
original cuts in deposits with unknown resource sensitivity (alluvium).
· In the event that fossils are discovered in unknown sensitive fonnations, it
may be necessary to increase the per-day field monitoring time. Conversely,
if fossils are not discovered, the monitoring effort may be reduced.
· When fossils are discovered, the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor)
shall recover them. In instances where recovery requires an extended salvage
time, the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall be allowed to
direct, divert, or halt grading to allow recovery of fossil remains. Where
deemed appropriate by the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor), a
screen washing operation for small fossil remains shall be set up.
· Prepared fossils, along with copies of all pertinent field notes, photographs,
and maps, shall be deposited in a scientific institution with paleontological
collections such as the San Diego Natural History Museum. A final summary
report shall be completed which outlines the results of the mitigation program.
This report shall include discussion of the methods used, stratigraphy exposed,
fossils collected, and significance of recovered fossils.
Geolo2'V and Soils
3. Prior to approval of the grading pennit, the applicant shall prepare a SWPPP to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer. The grading plans shall incorporate, to the satisfactionw
Page 21 of29
of the City Engineer, erosion control measures and erosion BMPs as identified in the
SWPPP.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
4, Prior to approval of the grading pennit, the applicant shall prepare a SWPPP to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer. The grading plans shall incorporate, to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer, containment area BMPs as identified in the SWPPP.
Hydrolo2V and Water Quality
5. Prior to approval of the grading pennit, the applicant shall prepare a SWPPP to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer. The grading plans shall incorporate, to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer, erosion control measures and erosion BMPs as identified in the
SWPPP.
Public Services
6. Prior to approval of the grading pennit, the project applicant shall prepare a security plan
to be approved by the Chula Vista Police Chief prior to the start of the CORR events.
The security plan shall detail, among other items, the number of security personnel
provided, general distribution of security throughout the race event, and number of
uniformed Chula Vista police staffrequired.
7. Prior to approval of the grading plan, the project applicant shall prepare a medical plan to
be approved by the Chula Vista Fire Chief prior to the start of the CaRR events. The
medical plan shall detail, among other items, the variety of emergency medical services
that can be provided by the contract emergency medical company, chain of
communication between event sponsor and medical staff, number of ambulances present
onsite and the number of uniformed Chula Vista Fire Department staff needed onsite.
8. Prior to the approval of the grading plan, perimeter fencing will be shown around the
entire site on all plans, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Security personnel posted
shall be posted at all access points throughout the event.
9. Grandstands will be protected by 10,000 pound concrete barriers along the entire frontage
of the grandstand area. In addition, a 10 foot high catch fence with steel cables will run
the entire length of the grandstand area.
10. The track will be situated 8 feet below the concrete barriers
11. In accordance with the approved medical plan, emergency medical equipment and
personnel and ambulance will be present during the tenn of the race event.
12. In accordance with the approved security plan, both unifonned police and private security

H. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there
will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described in this
document and the MMRP (Attachment A) have been added to the project or agreed to by the
Applicant prior to release of this document for public review. Such mitigation measures will
avoid or reduce the environmental effects of the proposed project to below significance. This
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the
Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended January 2005.
This report reflects the independent judgment of the City of Chula Vista. Further information
regarding the environmental review of this project is available from the Chula Vista Planning

ATTACHMENT "A"
Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program
IS-05-023
This Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) is prepared for the City of Chula Vista
in conjunction with the proposed Conditional Use Pennit (CUP) for Temporary Championship
Off-Road Race (IS-05-023). The proposed project has been evaluated in a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) and City/State CEQA Guidelines. The legislation requires public agencies to ensure
that adequate mitigation measures are implemented and monitored on Mitigated Negative
Declarations, such as IS-05-023. The Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program for this project
ensures adequate implementation of mitigation for the following potential impacts(s):
1. Air Quality
During site preparation, emissions would be generated from site preparation equipment exhaust
and their transport to and from the site, dust generated by site preparation/grading for the
temporary racetrack, exhaust from cars and trucks of workers at the site (commute and non-
commute), and exhaust from a diesel trucks used for watering. Based on air quality modeling
conducted for the project site preparation phase, calculations of air emissions were detennined to
be below significance thresholds. During race events, the primary source of emissions created
by the project would be automotive traffic from spectators, employees, support vehicles, and the
race participants. Air quality modeling conducted for the race event phase was detennined to
below significance thresholds. Although calculations of air emissions generated during the site
preparation and race event phase were detennined to be below significance thresholds, project
features that further reduce fugitive dust emissions have been required as mitigation measures to
ensure implementation and are included in this MMRP.
2. Cultural Resources
The proposed project would impact three recorded sites; however, the resources at these sites
were detennined not to be significant. Although no impacts to significant recorded
archeological sites or historic resources will occur, the potential to encounter other buried
resources exists. In addition, grading of the project site would impact Otay, San Diego and
Sweetwater Formations, which have high resource potential to bear paleontological resources,
and the Terrace Deposits and Mission Valley Fonnation, which have moderate resource
potential. Any impacts to unknown buried cultural and paleontological resources are considered
significant. Measures to reduce potential impacts to unknown buried cultural and
paleontological resources to less than significant are provided in this MMRP.
3. Geology and Soils
The proposed project has the potential to result in significant erosion impacts during the site
preparation phase, race event phase and the post-event phase. Erosion control Best Management
Practices (BMPs) identified in the Stonn Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)would
mitigate potential impacts resulting from erosion to less than significant. The BMPs would be
identified in the SWPPP, and preparation of a SWPPP to the satisfaction of the City Engineer is a
required mitigation measure included in this MMRP.
4. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The proposed project has the potential to result in significant impacts associated with leaks/spills
of hazardous materials/waste into sensitive habitat areas. Implementation of BMPs during all
phases of the project would mitigate potential impacts associated with hazardous materials/waste
to less than significant. The BMPs would be identified in the SWPPP, and preparation of a
SWPPP to the satisfaction of the City Engineer is a required mitigation measure included in this
MMRP.
5. Hydrology and Water Quality
The project would involve a number of activities that have the potential to result in impacts to
hydrology and water quality. During site preparation, grading for the track would occur which
may result in exposed soil and temporary stockpiling of soil. During race events, urban runoff
from the improved site has the potential to contribute pollutants, including oil and grease,
suspended solids, metals, gasoline, and pathogens to the receiving waters. Once the CaRR event
is complete, some portions of the site, including manufactured slopes, may be exposed and
susceptible to erosion. BMPs would be implemented at each phase of the project to mitigate
potential impacts to less than significant levels. The BMPs would be identified in the SWPPP.
Preparation of a SWPPP to the satisfaction of the City Engineer is included as a mitigation
measure in this MMRP to reduce potential impacts to water quality to less than significant.
2
6. Public Services
The proposed project has the potential to result in hazards associated with accidents during the
race events and, therefore, creates a temporary increase in demand for police, emergency medical
and fire services. Preparation of security and medical plans to the satisfaction of the City Police
and Fire Chief would mitigate potential impacts to less than significant.
7. Transportation/Traffic
There is the potential for localized congestion at ingress and egress points of the project and
parking impacts on City roadways during the two weekends that the CORR event would be held.
To avoid potential for significant impacts, a traffic control plan would be prepared in accordance
with City guidelines by the project applicant and submitted to the City of Chula Vista
Engineering for review and approval. The preparation of a traffic control plan would mitigate
potential impacts to circulation and parking to less than significant.
Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinator
shall be the Environmental Review Coordinator for the City of Chula Vista. It shall be the
responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the conditions of this MMRP are met to the
satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator. Evidence in written fonn confinning
compliance with the mitigation measures specified in the Otay Ranch Conditional Use Pennit for
Temporary Championship Off-Road Race (IS-05-023) shall be provided by the applicant to the
Environmental Review Coordinator. The Environmental Review Coordinator will thus provide
the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have been accomplished.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
mY OF
G-IUIA VISTA
1. Name of Proponent: James P. Baldwin
2. Lead Agency Name and Address: City of Chula Vista
Planning and Building Department
276 Fourth A venue
Chula Vista, CA 91910
3. Addresses and Phone Number of Proponent: 610 West Ash Street
Suite 1500
San Diego, CA 92101
4. Name of Proposal: Conditional Use Permit for
Temporary Championship Off-Road
Race
5. Date of Checklist: June 22, 2005
6. Case No. IS-05-023
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of
the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which
would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Comments:
The proposed project will be limited in scope and duration, and involves only minor site preparation for the proposed dirt track,
and parking, spectator and race-participant areas. While the proposed activities may be visible from some existing residential
areas the use would be temporary and would not permanently alter the aesthetic or visual character of the site.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS QUESTIONS:
ISSUES:
I. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?

ISSUES: Significant Mitigation Significant
Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental
effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared
by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.
Would the project::
a) Convert Prime Fannland, Unique Fannland, or Fannland of 0 0 [81 0
Statewide Importance (Fannland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Fannland Mapping and Monrtoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricunural
use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricunural use, or a Williamson 0 0 [81 0
kt contract?
c} Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, 0 0 [81 0
due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland, to non-agricultural use?
Comments:
The proposed project is not expected to interfere significantly with agricultural practices on the project site, due to the limited
duration and scope of the project. Implementation of the project would not preclude future ongoing agricultural use of the site.
III. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air 0 0 [81 0
quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an 0 0 [81 0
existing or projected air quality violation?
c) Resun in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any crrteria 0 0 [81 0
pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard
(including releasing emissions, which exceed quantitative
thresholds for ozone precursors)?
d) Expose sensrtive receptors to substantial pollutant 0 [81 0 0
concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of 0 0 [81 0
people?
Comments:
Neither construction related activities nor operational aspects of the project were determined to exceed significance thresholds
for air quality. Additional detail is provided in the Air Quality Assessment Report available at the City for review.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through
habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate,
sensrtive, or special status species in local or regional plans,
policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish
and Game or U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or
other sensrtive natural community identified in local or regional
plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of
Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
o

c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected
wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water kt
(including, but not lim~ed to, marsh, vemal pool, coastal, etc.)
through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other
means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident
or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native
resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of
native wildlife nursery s~es?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or
ordinance?
~ Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation
Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other
approved local, regional, or state haMat conservation plan?
Comments:
The proposed activities would take place within areas that are mapped as developed, agriculture, and ruderal habitat. No
sensitive habitats or species are within the proposed footprint of the project. Therefore, the project would not result in any direct
impacts to sensitive biological resources. Potential indirect impacts to coastal California gnatcatcher, resulting from noise
generated during the race event are avoided by conducting the race event outside of the breeding season for this species
(February 15 through August 15). Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

V. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a 0 [gJ D D
historical resource as defined in 915064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an 0 [gJ 0 D
archaeological resource pursuant to 9 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource 0 [gJ 0 0
or s~e or unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of ODD [gJ
formal cemeteries?
Comments:
The proposed project will impact three recorded cultural resources sites; however, since the resources at these sites were
determined not to be significant, the project would not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of archaeological
or historic resources. Although no impacts to significant recorded archeological sites or historic resources would occur, the
potential to encounter buried resources exists. Any impacts to unknown buried cultural resources are considered significant.
Measures to reduce potential impacts to unknown buried cultural resources to less than significant include monitoring by a
qualified archeologist during grading activities of the site preparation phase.
Geologic formations underlying the project site include Otay Formation with accumulations of colluvial and alluvial depostis in the
drainage course bottoms, the San Diego Formation, the Sweetwater Formation, Terrace Deposits and the Mission Valley
Formation. The Otay, San Diego and Sweetwater Formations have high resource potential to bear paleontological resources,
and the Terrace Deposits and Mission Valley Formation have moderate resource potential. Site preparation would involve
grading for the temporary track. Maximum cut depth within graded areas would be 40 feet. Site preparation activities have the
potential to encounter unknown buried paleontological resources. Potential impacts to such resources are considered
significant. However, measures to reduce potential impacts to unknown buried paleontological resources to less than significant
include monitoring by a qualified paleontologist during grading activities for cut slopes. Investigations on the site did not reveal
the potential for human remains to be present on the site; therefore, no impacts to such resources are anticipated.

wastewater?
Comments:
A preliminary geotechnical investigation performed on the project site indicates that the no geotechnical hazards exist within the
project vicinity that would have the potential to impact the proposed uses. Site preparation would have the potential to result in
erosion impacts. Erosion control measures and erosion Best Management Practices are identified in Section VIII, as part of the
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). With implementation of the proposed measures, impacts would be less than
significant.
VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the
project:
a) Create a signifICant hazard to the public or the environment

materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment
through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions
involving the release of hazardous materials into the

Comments:
The proposed project includes features that are incorporated into the project design that provide control over the use of
hazardous materials (gasoline and engine fluids) associated with the proposed activities. Specifically, all of the vehicle wash out
and oil storage areas will be lined with impervious materials to prevent the release of fluids. All vehicle fluids will be collected
and disposed of in accordance with the specifications contained in the SWPPP, outlined in Section VIII, below.
VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUAUTY. Would the project::
a) Resutt in an increase in pollutant discharges to receiving waters
(including impaired water bodies pursuant to the Clean Water
Act Section 303(d) list), resutt in significant atteration of
receiving water quality during or following construction, or
violate any water quality standards or waste discharge
requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere
substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would
be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local
groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing
nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support
existing land uses or planned uses for which pennits have been
granted)? Resutt in a potentially significant adverse impact on
groundwater quality?
c) Substantially atter the existing drainage pattern of the site or
area, including through the atteration of the course of a stream
or river, in a manner, which would resutt in substantial erosion
or siltation on- or off-site?
d) Substantially atter the existing drainage pattem of the site or

runoff in a manner which would resutt in flooding on- or off-site,
or place structures within a 100-year flood hazard area which
would impede or redirect flood flows?

Comments:
The proposed project is required to maintain a SWPPP, which will address specific measures that will control erosion and water
quality impacts through Best Management Practices (BMPs). Implementation of the proposed BMPs will result in potential
impacts to water quality be reduced to less than significant levels. Because of the scope of activities proposed and the short
duration of the proposed project, it would not have the ability to substantially alter the flow of surface or groundwater. In addition,
the project would not involve pumping of groundwater and would therefore not result in the possibility of depletion of groundwater
supplies. The project site is not within a 100-year flood plain and does not propose construction of permanent structures. The
project would not discharge to an existing storm drain system, and would therefore have no impact upon storm water
conveyance capacities.
IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community? ODD [gI
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation 0 D D [gI
of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not
limited to the general plan, specifIC plan, local coastal program,
or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural ODD [gI
community conservation plan?
Comments:
The proposed project would not permanently alter land use or propose any changes to existing or planned uses. As such, the
project would not divide an established community or conflict with any land use plans or policies adopted for the purposes of
avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. The project would also be consistent with the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea
Plan, as it is located within a 100% development area of a Covered Project. Therefore, the project would not result in any
impacts to land use and planning.
X. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that ODD [gI
would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Resun in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral ODD [gI
resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan,
specifIC plan or other land use plan?
Comments:
No locally-important mineral resources are located within the project site. Further, the project would not involve extensive
excavation or earthwork (including import or export of materials) that would have the potential to result in a loss of resources.
Therefore, no impacts to mineral resources are anticipated.
XI. NOISE. Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess 0 0 [gI D
of standards established in the local general plan or noise
ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundbome 0 0 ~ 0

ij For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the
project expose people residing or working in the project area to
excessive noise levels?
Comments:
Construction noise would be generated by diesel engine driven construction equipment which is anticipated to be used for site
preparation and grading. Additional noise would be generated by normal construction activities, such as the use of power
equipment. Limitations on construction activity are considered to mitigate short-term noise impacts to less than significant levels.

Noise associated with operation of the racing event would be exempt from the governing noise Ordinance, and therefore, the
project would not violate any established standards. In addition, the project is not a permanent use, and would therefore not
result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project.
The project is also not located in proximity to a public or private airport that would result in noise impacts on proposed uses.
XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly 0 0 0 0
(for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or
indirectly (for example, through extension of road or other
infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating 0 0 0 0
the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the 0 0 0 0
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Comments:
The proposed project would not change land uses or propose activities that would affect population or housing growth.
XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project
a) Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with
the provision of new or physically altered governmental
facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental
facilities, the construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service
ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any
public services:
6/29/2005

Fire protection?
Police protection?
Schools?
Parks?
Other public facilities?
Comments:
The proposed project would not involve changing land uses that would result in increased permanent demand for public services
personnel, equipment and facilities or result in changes in service levels. The proposed project has the potential to result in
hazards associated with accidents during the race events and therefore create a temporary increase in demand for police and
fire services. The closest fire station that would respond to an incident at the project site is located at 1640 Santa Venetia,
approximately one-half mile to the east. In order to reduce impacts associated with accidents, security and safety, measures
would mitigate potential impacts to less than significant. Implementation of the accident prevention and security/safety
measures during site preparation and operation of the CORR would reduce impacts to less than significant.

Comments:
It is estimated that approximately 7,000 vehicles per day of the event would access the site, via Olympic Parkway and La Media
Road. It is not anticipated that the additional traffic associated with the event would result in unacceptable levels of service on
any affected roadway. However, there is the potential for localized congestion at ingress and egress points of the project and
parking impacts on City roadways during the two weekends that the CORR event will be held. To avoid potential for significant
impacts, a traffic control plan would be prepared by the project applicant and submitted to the City of Chula Vista for review and
approval prior to issuance of the CUP. The preparation of a traffic control plan would mitigate potential impacts to circulation and
parking to less than significant. Elements of the traffic control plan would include, but not limited to, a description of the offsite
parking areas, signage, location of event staff directing traffic, and points of ingress/egress.
XVI. UTlLmES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable
Regional Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or resun in the construction of new water or wastewater
treatment facilfties or expansion of existing facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental
effects?

On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the D
environment, and a Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the r8J
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the
project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the D
environment, and an Environmental Impact Report is required.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect(s) on the environment, D
but at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document
pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is
a "potentially significant impacts" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An
Environmental Impact Report is required, but it must analyze only the effects that
remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the D
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because all potentially
significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to
applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier
EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed
project. An addendum has been prepared to provide a record of this determination.

Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby
find, detennine, and resolve as follows:
B. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence on the Project introduced before the Planning
Commission at their public hearing on this project held on July 27,2005 and the minutes
and resolution resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of this
proceeding.
C. ENVIRONMENT AL DETERMINATION
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has conducted an Initial
Study, IS-05-023 in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based
upon the results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
detennined that the project could result in significant effects on the environment.
However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur;
therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, IS-05-023.
D. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-05-023) has been prepared in
accordance with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
State CEQA Guidelines, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula
Vista, and hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (IS-05-023).
E. INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT OF CITY COUNCIL
The City Council does hereby find that in the exercise of their independent review and
judgment, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (IS-05-023) in the fonn presented has been prepared in accordance with
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the
Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and hereby adopts the
same.
F. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
The City Council 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 pennits, as
hereinbelow set forth, and sets forth, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that pennits the
stated finding to be made.
Resolution No. Page 3
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 proposed location is a desirable location for such a one-time racing event.
The environmental document and staff reports outlines how the racetrack and
temporary facilities are located a significant distance from existing residential
neighborhoods to the north and east and visually obscured from view by the
existing slopes.
In addition, the racetrack and facilities are a minimum 100-ft. away from multiple
species habitat preserve lands to the south and east. The existing topography
provides the necessary layout for the temporary structures areas needed for the
event and minimal grading is needed for the racetrack.
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.
This temporary conditional use pennit for a two weekend race event required
environmental documentation that analyzed the proposal with respect to the effect
of the proposal on health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working
in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
While certain aspects of the proposal such as traffic and noise may result in some
minor traffic congestion near the site at the time of the events as well as perhaps
some one-time noise annoyances due to racing events or early evening live
entertainment, the temporary one-time sporting and entertainment events are not
regulated by the noise control ordinance.
For participants and spectators deciding to attend these racing events, safety
precautions are maximized to ensure the health, safety or general welfare of
persons involved as outlined in the environmental document and staff reports.
In addition, the conditions to grant approval of this pennit require that the
applicant minimize the potential impacts to public safety, fire, traffic, parking,
and other environmental effects on participants, spectators, and the surrounding
residential neighborhoods in the vicinity.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions
specified in the code for such use.
The proposed temporary racing event and activities is considered a conditionally
pennitted use within the Planned Community (PC) Zone, utilizing the unclassified

this conditional use pennit process the applicant is requesting that alcohol may be
sold with food vendors.
4. 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.
