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 June 25, 200S and the minutes
and resolution resulting there from, are hereby incorporated into the record of this
proceeding.
C. ENVIRONMENTAL 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-OS-Oll), in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based
upon the results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
determined 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-OS-Oll).
D. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council does hereby find that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-OS-O 11) 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 (lS-OS-Oll).
E. INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT OF CITY COUNCIL
The City Council does hereby find on the basis of the whole record before it, including
the initial study and comments received for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-OS-Oll), that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the
Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and
Resolution No. 2008-176
Page 3
analysis. In addition, 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-08-0 II) in the form 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 permits, as herein
below set forth, and sets forth, there under, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated
finding to be made.
I. 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 use at this location is desirable in that it attracts thousands of
visitors to the City of Chula Vista for each event and is televised nationwide. The
racetrack facilities are located within a portion of an already disturbed mining
operation within the Rimrock Quarry. The camping area is located on land
designated for open space active recreation, and the parking area is located on an
agricultural field land use designated for future residential use.
The racetrack, camping and parking areas are all located a significant distance
away from existing residential neighborhoods to the south and west and visually
obscured from view to the north and east by the surrounding rock quarry. The
nearest residential neighborhoods within the City are over two miles to the north
and east.
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 conditional use permit for six (6) race events 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.
The Traffic Control Plan would ensure the smooth flow of vehicular traffic to and
from the parking areas and the racetrack site to address any traffic congestion at
the beginning and end of each race event.
Resolution No. 2008-176
Page 4
For race event participants and spectators, a Security Plan and Emergency
Medical Plan would ensure the public health, safety and general welfare. For
example, safety precautions such as concrete barriers and fencing, and fire and
police equipment and personnel will be provided in order to address the potential
impacts of the race events on participants and spectators.
In addition, even though race related noise is not regulated by the noise ordinance,
noise attenuation measures will be implemented such as barriers behind the
grandstands. Also, noise and biological monitoring will be provided during race
events as conditions of the Conditional Use Permit. Archeological study areas
and open space preserve areas are to be protected with fencing and security
personnel as part of the Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Program
compliance.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified
in the code for such use.
The temporary racing and related events would be conditioned to comply with all
Municipal Code regulations. The Conditional Use Permit requires City Council
approval per the unclassified uses provisions for a racetrack in the Zoning Code
(l9.54.020J-7), which references the amusement and entertainment facilities
development standards of Zoning Code (19.58.040). The Conditional Use Permit
requirement allows for the imposition of conditions as requirements that must be
adhered to as determined by the City Council.
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.
Because the six (6) race events proposed in the Conditional Use Permit are only
being permitted as a temporary land use, the granting of this permit will not
require amendments to the Chula Vista General Plan, Otay Ranch General
Development Plan, or the creation of a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for
the Planned Community (PC) zoned project site, and as such does not affect the
future long-range planning ofland uses for the project site.
