SUMMARY
The owner of the property located at 1778 Broadway, Latif Zoura (Owner/Applicant),
filed applications on November 21,2007 for construction of a 14,105 square foot, one-
story, industrial building and the associated site improvements (parking, landscaping,
access and circulation) for the establishment of a recycling center. The proposed project
involves the development of a vacant parcel located at the northwest comer of Broadway

OS/26/09, ItemL
Page 2 of9
and Faivre Street in the southwest area of Chula Vista (see Attachment I - Locator Map;
Attachment 2 - Aerial Map), within the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project
Area. The applications submitted include a Rezone of the property from the current
Commercial Thoroughfare with Precise Plan (CT-P) to Limited Industrial with Precise
Plan (IL-P), Conditional Use Permit for the recycling use, Design Review and
Preliminary Environmental Review.
The action to be considered by the City Council is for the following: I) Rezoning of the
property from CT-P to IL-P, 2) approval of a Conditional Use Permit and 3) approval of
Design Review Permit for the development of the proposed project. The rezone is
necessary in order to make the zoning consistent with and implement the General Plan
designation. State law (Government Code 65854-65861) establishes the process for
adopting zone changes of property and requires that the Planning Commission hold a
public hearing on proposed rezoning actions and provide a written recommendation to the
City Council. In addition to the Planning Commission's recommendation on the rezone,
Chula Vista Municipal Code (CYMe) Section 2.55.050 provides that the Chula Vista
Redevelopment Corporation (CYRe) has the same legislative functions as the Planning
Commission, in cases such as those that involve rezoning. The CVRC is also the review
authority for administrative and quasi-judicial functions, such as Conditional Use Permits
(CUP), Design Review and Tentative Maps, for projects located within the City's
redevelopment areas. The Planning Commission's and the CYRC's recommendation on
the rezone, as well as the CVRC recommendation on the CUP and Design Review are
being forwarded to the City Council for final consideration and approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator reviewed the proposed project for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act and prepared an Initial Study, IS-08-006,
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Based upon
results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator determined that the
project could result in ,impacts on the environment. However, revisions to the project
made by, or agreed to, by the applicant would avoid the impacts, or mitigate the impacts,
to a point where no significant impacts would occur. Therefore, the Environmental
Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS-08-006 which
was made available for public comment from March 24, 2009 to April 23, 2009. No
comments were received.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council (I) adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration 15-08-006; (2) Approve
Conditional Use Permit (PCC-08-008); (3) Approve Design Review Permit (DRC-08-
14); and (4) Introduce an Ordinance adopting Rezone (PCZ-08-01) for the 0.88-acre site
at 1778 Broadway from Commercial Thoroughfare with Precise Plan (CT -P) to Limited
Industrial with Precise Plan (IL-P).
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The project was presented to the Redevelopment Advisory Committee (RAC) on
February 7, 2008 and March 19, 2009. At the first meeting, the RAC had some concerns
8-2
OS/26/09, Item~
Page 3 of9
about the traffic, internal circulation for vehicles and pedestrians, landscaping, and storm
water management. After the first meeting, the applicant re-designed the project to
downsize the proposed building from its original proposal ofa two-story, 16,795 square
foot building, for the recycling center and wholesale businesses to the current design of a
one-story, 14,105 square foot building only for the recycling center. On March 19,2009,
the RAC reviewed the proposed project for the second time and recommended the project
be forwarded for approval of the project proposal as revised. Summary meeting notes are
included as Attachment 3 - RAC Meeting Notes.
On May 13, 2009, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Rezone and
recommended by a vote of 6-0-0-1 that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration
and approve the Rezone. On May 14, 2009, the CVRC reviewed the proposed Rezone,
the requested Conditional Use Permit and Design Review Permit. The CVRC
recommended by a vote of 5-0-0-1 that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration
and approve the Rezone, Conditional Use Permit and Design Review Permit.
DISCUSSION
1. Project Location
The project is proposed on a vacant parcel approximately 0.88 acre (38,342 square feet)
located at the northwest comer of Broadway and Faivre Street in the southwest area of
Chula Vista. The property is also bounded by 27th Street (a small industrial street) on the
west side. The site is located within the Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project
Area.
2. Project Description
The project consists of the construction of a 14,105 square foot, one-story, industrial
building for the establishment of a recycling center (see Attachment 4 - Conceptual
Design Plans). The building will have an exterior height of 30 feet. The project also
includes the construction of a 19-space parking lot, new landscaping (12,567 square
foot), and a new trash enclosure. The proposed project includes the under grounding of an
open drainage channel within the City's right of way, the dedication of street right-of-
way, and construction of street improvements (sidewalks, curbs and gutters) on three
sides of the property (along Broadway, Faivre and 27th Street). Landscaping materials,
including trees, shrubs and groundcover, will be located along the periphery of the lot, as
well as key areas along the building. Landscaped areas account for approximately 33%
of the site's area.
The proposed one-story building structure is generally located in the center of the lot, and
the two main building elevations face Broadway and Faivre Street. The proposed
'building has an industrial contemporary design. The proposed struchlre consists of
concrete tilt-up panel structural design. The structure's exteriors are proposed to be
finished in colored stucco and stone veneer. The color combination uses earth tone color
hues, such as light tan and light brown. Store-front systems will consist of tempered
glass window panels with black aluminum framing. Overhangs around the building at
8-3
OS/26/09, ItemL
Page 4 of9
the top and mid-section will be covered with a natural color aluminum fascia. Roll up
doors painted in dark brown color will be used to provide primary access to the
Recycling Center.
In order to facilitate circulation in this area, on February 12, 2009 the Safety Commission
approved specifications for 27th Street, which was previously designated as a two-lane
industrial street, to be modified from the 72-foot wide industrial street standard to a 40-
foot wide, one-way street segment with traffic heading southbound. This action also
provided significant relief to property owners for required improvements along this
segment of 27th Street. The revised circulation plan provides access to the site from three
driveways located on Broadway, Faivre Street, and 27th Street, as follows:
1. 24-foot driveway on Broadway providing ingress only and direct access to the
recycling center; entry-only signs will posted on both sides of the driveway;
2. 20-foot driveway on Faivre Street is providing egress only; and,
3. 25-foot driveway on 27th Street which provides both ingress and egress.
The circulation plan allows customers to drop off their recyclables by driving through a
vehicular entrance to the building located on the east side of the building on Broadway or
by walk up (Attachment 4 - Conceptual Design Plans). Customers will drive their
vehicles inside the facility to the scale area. Employees will download the recycling
material (plastic, aluminum, glass, paper) into large containers for weighting purposes.
Customers then drive their vehicles to the cashier booth for payment. After collecting
payment, customers will be able to leave the facility through one of the two vehicular
exits located on the building's south and west elevations and use the adjoining Faivre
Street or 27th Street driveways. Once weighted, the recycling material will be
mechanically compacted with propane powered fork lifts transporting the compacted
material to a storage room located in the rear of the building. Once or twice a week, the
recycled material will be hauled away.
The rear of the facility is located on the west side facing 27th Street. Storage, trash
enclosures, a loading area and some parking will be located in this area. The
entrance/exit driveway on 27th Street will provide access for large truck traffic hauling
the compacted recycled materials and trash. The employees may also use this driveway
to park their vehicles in the parking spaces provided within this area. Pedestrian access
onto the site and building is provided via designated pedestrian walkways adjacent to the
driveways on Broadway and Faivre Street beyond a landscape planter.
3. Land Use and Zoning
The site is located in an area designated for industrial uses and characterized by a mixture
of commercial and industrial uses. The site's General Plan land use designation is
Limited Industrial (IL), while the Zoning classification is Commercial Thoroughfare with
a Precise Plan (eT -P). The existing land uses on and adjacent to the subject site, as well
as the land use designations, are shown in the table below.

Rezoning of the property from CT-P to IL-P will make the zoning consistent with and
implement the General Plan designation. Other discretionary actions required for project
implementation include a Design Review approval for the new industrial building and a
CUP (pursuant to CYNIC S 19.58.345) to allow the recycling facility.
4. Analysis
The project has been evaluated in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Chula
Vista General Plan (2005), the Zoning Ordinance, the City's Design Manual, Landscape
Manual, and the Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan (2004). It is noted that the
2004 Redevelopment Plan refers to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance for land use
guidance.
Rezone
General Plan Consistency
The project site is located within the Southwest Planning Area of the General Plan within
the Main Street District (see Attachment 5 - General Plan Southwest Planning Area).
While the General Plan designates the site for limited industrial uses, the site is currently
zoned CT-P which allows a wide array of heavy commercial uses. The applicant has
requested to rezone the site from CT-P to IL-P which would result in a consistent zone
with the 2005 General Plan. The Vision for the Main Street District states that:
"Light or limited industrial uses extend within previously disturbed development
areas south of Main Street to the edge of the Otay River Valley open space. ,.
The development proposal would implement the General Plan Land Use and
Transportation (LUT) Policy 45.6 which states:
8-5
OS/26/09, Item~
Page 6 of9
"Maintain Main Street primarily as a limited industrial corridor. "
The proposed rezone would allow industrial uses to be developed consistent with the
City's General Plan policy for the site. The recycling center is a conditionally permitted
use in the IL-P zone.
Conformance with CYMC Chapter 19.80
CVlYIC Chapter 19.80 (Controlled Residential Development) applies to development
projects that involve a rezone to or from a residential zone. The proposed project
requests a rezone from a commercial zone to an industrial zone. Therefore, CYMC 19.80
does not apply to this project.
Conditional Use Permit
CYMC Section 19.58.345 states that recycling centers may be permitted with a CUP in
commercial or industrial zones. The proposed recycling facility is desirable because it
will increase general public convenience by providing for the demand for recycling
services necessary for the implementation of recycling efforts in the area. The project
will provide a convenient facility for the general public to return recyclable items,
contribute to the re-cycle, re-use of resources and obtain a monetary refund that will
support the family finances. The proposed project, as designed, will provide a new
building facility that will enhance the area. The findings required by CYMC 19.14.080
for the issuance of CUP's, and supporting evidentiary basis that permits the stated
findings, are included in the attached resolution.
Design Review
The project's site and building design were reviewed and evaluated based on the
development standards of the City's Zoning Ordinance and the guidelines of the City's
Design Manual and Landscape Manual. The following table provides a comparison of
the proposed project development standards to the minimum required development
standards for projects within the Limited Industrial Zone.

In general, the City's Design Manual guidelines are intended to promote development
which respects the physical and environmental characteristics of the community and the
site, and which reflects functional and attractive site planning, and high quality design.
The guidelines for industrial development in the City's Design Manual are intended to:
Encourage projects which respect the character and scale of adjoining
developments, with particular attention to sites in older, mixed-use areas, and
sites which adjoin residential neighborhoods or other uses which may be
particularly sensitive to the scale and impacts of industrial development. (CVDlVI
p. IV-i).
The proposed building represents a significant improvement for the area, which is
characterized by older, non-de script buildings that lack order, function or appearance.
The proposed new building incorporates innovative and imaginative architecture, which
results in high quality industrial development. The building style and use of materials,
such as concrete panels, stucco and stone veneers, exceed the standards of quality of the
existing surrounding buildings.
Promote a functional and attractive arrangement of buildings, open spaces,
parking, circulation and loading areas which are sensitive to the physical
characteristics and constraints of the site, and which provide efficient and
pleasant places to work. (CVDM p. IV-i)
The placement of the building in the center of the site and its relationship to parking
creates a functional arrangement that provides appropriate access to the site and building
for pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The positioning of the landscape materials around
the site and around the building provide adequate screening of parked vehicles from
public view and enhance the building's architecture.
Create a high quality of architectural and landscape design, with an emphasis on
functional needs, reducing the apparent mass of large scale buildings,. and
screening and buffering loading, storage and working areas from incompatible
land uses andfrom the public view. (CVDM p. IV-i)
The new industrial building provides a centrally located focal point for the site, which is
currently vacant, and fills a significant void in this comer of the neighborhood. The
landscape plan will be functional and vernacular. The new building will be designed with
a variety of elements along its facade that are well articulated and create interest. The use
of earth tone colors and stone veneer, as well as the use of aluminum fascia, make the
project consistent with the colors and materials found in the area.
The applicant incorporated a number of revisions into the project design to address issues
raised at the first RAe meeting. The driveway entrances/exits on Broadway and internal
circulation of the site have been revised to allow for one-way traffic (entrance only)
providing direct access into the recycling center, as well as access to the parking lot.
Once the customer enters the recycling center building there are two drive aisles for the
8-7
OS/26/09, Item~
Page 8 of9
customers to drop off the recyclable items. Two exit routes in different locations have
now been provided for customers to prevent stacking on Broadway. The customers can
either exit to Faivre Street and use the exit only driveway or continue through to the 27th
Street two-way driveway (in and out of the site).
Large truck traffic will use the 27th Street driveway for pick up once or twice a week of
the recycled materials and trash pick up. The employees may also use this driveway to
park their vehicles in the four parking spaces. As part of the environmental review, the
applicant commissioned a Traffic Study, which was prepared by Linscott Law &
Greenspan. The Traffic Study analyzed the intersection of Broadway and Faivre Street
for any potential impacts due to the proposed project. The study concluded that the
maximum minor-street left-turning volume from Faivre Street is 50 trips during the PM
peak hour. Approximately 100 peak hour trips would be required to warrant a traffic
signal on a peak hour basis. In addition, Faivre Street is forecasted to have 1,400 ADT on
a typical weekday. This is a very low 24-hour volume and would not warrant an 8-hour
traffic signal. Therefore, the Traffic Study concluded that the project does not warrant a
traffic signal or any other additional alterations to the traffic circulation on or off the site,
other than the internal circulation modifications requested by the RAC and shown on the
plans.
Pedestrian access was improved with the removal of two parking spaces and relocation of
the pedestrian access beyond a landscaped area adj acent to the driveway. In an effort to
comply with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the
applicant submitted a Water Quality Technical Report (WQTR), Drainage Report, and
revised plans to comply with the standards. According to the Engineering Department,
the reports and the site's BMP's are in compliance with the NPDES requirements. A final
Drainage Study will be required during the grading permit submittal. Revisions to the
landscape plan were also made to minimize turf areas, provide parking lot screening,
increase percentage of native planting, and carry the Broadway streetscape (using theme
tree Washingtonia) into the streetscape landscape design in front of the property.
CONCLUSION
The proposed IL-P zone for the site would be consistent with and implement the goals
and objectives of the General Plan. The proposed project components are appropriate due
to the site's adjacency to both industrial and commercial development, as well as
adequate existing infrastructure.
Further, the proposed project, as conditioned, complies with the adopted zoning and
development standards for the site, as well as the established guidelines of the Chula
Vista Design and Landscape Manuals. The project will provide a useful, convenient,
beneficial facility to the immediate area and the Chula Vista community. The project will
provide a facility with quality architectural design, landscaping, and convenient parking.
The project is well planned in terms of its internal circulation and interface with the
street, and it will not create traffic impacts or spill-over negative effects. Therefore, staff
recommends that the City Council approve of the Rezone, the Conditional Use Permit
and Design Review Permit.

DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no
property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject
of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed applications are for a private project, and the processing of the applications
and all staff time is being paid by the Property Owner/Applicant. The Property Owner is
responsible for the maintenance the project.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed project will create an increase in assessed valuation and the Redevelopment
Agency will receive one percent of this increase as tax increment revenue. Of the one
percent, the Agency will place 20% in the low and moderate income housing fund, and
will give 20% to the County of San Diego, 7% to the Sweetwater Union High School
District, 2% to Southwestern Community College, 1 % to the San Diego County Office of
Education, and 11 % to the Chula Vista Elementary School District, leaving the Agency
approximately 39% percent of the 1 % increase in assessed valuation available for
redevelopment activities. These pass-through percentages are applicable to the
Southwest Project area only.

DATE OF FINAL DOCUNfENT:
A. Prol ect Setting
The 0.88-acre project site is a vacant parcel located at tlJe northwest comer of Broadway. a"d Fai'Te Street
in the. southwest area of Chula Vista 'at 1778 Broadway. Tne property is also bou.,ded by 27" 'Street (a
small industrial street) on the west side. The site is located within one of the industrial areas of the
Merged Chula Vista Redevelopment Project Area (see Exhibit A-Location Map). The project site is
relatively flat, \Vith vehicular access from all three streets. An open drainage channel runs in a north-south.
direction along Broadway, within the City's right of way. The land uses immediately surrounding the
project site are as follows:
North:
South:
East:
West:
Produce Market/Used Car Lot
Undeveloped Lot
Thrift StorefWarehouse
Construction Equipment Storage
B. Proiect Description
Tne proposed project consists of the development of a 14,105 square foot, one-story, industrial building
for the establishment of a recycling center (see Exhibit B - Site Plan). The project also includes the
construction of a 19-space parking lot, new landscaping (12,567 square foot), and a new trash enclosure.
Off-site landscaping will be pro,ided along tloe three surrounding streets, as part of the street
improvements to be pro,ided with the project, which include sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, as weli as
drainage improvements. In accordance with City standards, a 6-foot dedication along Faivre Street is
required, thus bringing Faivre Street into consistency with an industrial street. A 1-foot dedication along
Broadway is required, thus bringing Broadway to a cOITlJnercial 4-Lane Major street. 17'" Street will be
changed from a two-way street segment to a one-way street segment. The proposed project includes the
undergrounding of an existing drainage channel along Broadway. The processing of the proposed project
consists of a Design Review, Conditional Use Permit, and Rezone application. The project is identified as
developable area within the City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan.
I
8-22
C. Comoliance with Zoning and Plans
The project site is within the CTP (Commercial-Thoroughfare) Zone and IL (Limited Industrial)
General Plan designation. The CTP Zone allows for the proposed recycling center with a Conditional
Use Permit and Design Review. The project proposes to rezone the property from CTP to IL in order
to make the zoning consistent with and implement the General Plan designation. The IL zone also
allows for recycling centers through approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review.
D. Public Comments
On September 19, 2008, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot
radius of the proposed project site. The public review period ended October 2, 2008. No written
comments were received.
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including the attached Environmental
Checklist form) determined that although the proposed project could have a significant environmental
effect, there would not be a significant effect in this case because mitigation measures described in
Section F below have been added to the project. Tne preparation of an Environmental Impact Report
will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with
Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
. Air Oualitv
To assess potential air quality impacts an Air Quality Study, dated October 30,2008, was prepared by
Brian F. Smith & Associates. The analysis evaluated emissions associated with both the constructiOlo
and operation of the proposed project.
Shori- Term Construction Activities
The proposed project will result in a short-term air quality impact created from construction activities
associated with the proposed project. The grading of the site for future recycling center development
and worker and equipment vehicle trips will create temporary emissions of dust, fumes, equipment
exhaust, and other air pollutants associated with the construction activities. Air quality impacts
resulting from construction-related operations are considered short-term in duration.
A comparison of daily construction emissions to the SCAQMD's and comparison usi.""lg the
California state\vide factors and emissions thresholds of significance for each pollutant was analyzed.
The addition of emissions to an air basin is considered under CEQA to be a significant impact. It was
concluded that emissions associated wiL1 the construction and operation were below the significance
thresholds for all construction phases and pollutants. To further ensure better air quality,
implementation of the Mitigation Measure 1 contained in Section F below would improve short-term
construction-related air quality. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring
and Report:h"'1g Program.
Combined Short-Term and Long-Term Impacts
In order to assess whether the project's contribution to ambient air quality is cumulatively
considerable, the project's emissions were quantified with respect to regional air quality. The
proposed project, a small industrial infill development, once completed will not result in significant
long-term air quality impacts. Accordi.,g to the Traffic Study for the proposed project, the project-
generated traffic volume of 232 trips would not result in significant lon~-term local or rerriona! air
_ 0 0

quality impacts. TIrrough project design, emission-controlled construction vehicles and efficiency
building product, no area source or operational vehicle emission estimates will exceed the Air Quality
significance thresholds. Therefore, no operational or long-term mitigation measures are required.
Biolo<!ical Resources
A Biological Habitat Assessment Report was prepared by Brian F. Smith & Associates, December 15,
2003, to assess the potential biological resource impacts of the ',project. A biological habitat
assessment of the project site was conducted on May 23, 2003 to identify the presence or absence of
suitable habitat on the site. The biological resource analysis is summarized below.
Existing Conditions
The .33-acre project site is on a disturbed lot that has been previously graded and developed and
consists of disturbed vegetation. Developed vegetation consists of exotic ruderal plants and native
plants.
The project site is located within in the City of Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan boundary in an area
designated as a "Development Area." Under the Subarea Plan, the proposed project is not subject to
the requirements under the Habitat Loss Incidental Take (HLIT) Ordinance.
Wildlife/Sensitive Species/Sensitive Habitats
The biological report stated that very few wildlife species such as birds and butterrlies occupied the
site. All of the species observed for this site are typical for this area.
Portions of the site may offer nesting opportunities for a ground-nesting species such as the mourning 0
dove. There were no tall trees, power poles, or other structures on the site that might provide nesting
habitat for raptors. Nesting birds, including raptors, were not observed during the site visit. In
accordance with the City of Chula Vista MSCP, these developed and disturbed vegetation areas are
not considered sensitive habitats.
Project Impact
The existing lot supports very few wildlife species, such as birds and butterflies. The proposed
construction of the project will impact potential habitat for the nesting migratory birds if Ll-je
development occurs during t.l-je breedic,g season between January 15 through August 31. If
construction must occur during the breeding season, pre-construction surveys shall be conducted to
determi.'1e the presence or absence of nesting migratory birds, Therefore, the proposed project may
result in impacts to sensitive biological resources and mitigation measures are required.
Further mitigation measures including clearing, grubbing or gradL.'"1g permits, temporary orange
biological fencic,g shall be installed around the area that may provide nesting habitat for nesting
migratory birds. Fencing shall be constructed in accordance with the development plans to the
satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator. Implementation of the mitigation measures
identified in Section F of this Mitigated Negative Declaration will reduce potentially signifccaDt
biological impacts t~ a level below significance.i

Habitat Loss Incidental Take (HLIT) Permit
The project area is located within fu"1 area designated by the City of Chula Vista Subarea Plan as
Developed Areas Outside of City of Chula Vista Covered Projects and where it has been
demonstrated that no Sensitive Biological Resources exits. Thus, the project is exempt from the City
of Chula Vista Habitat Loss and Incidental Take Ordinance (Section 17.35 of the CYMC).
Geology and Soils
To assess the potential geological/soils impacts of the project, a Preliminary Geotechnical
Investigation evaluation was prepared by, Leighton Consulting, Inc., dated July 8, 2008. The results
are summarized below.
No groundwater was encountered on the site. No groundwater is anticipated to be encountered during
the site excavation and construction. However, the Otay Valley drainage area to the south of the site
has surface elevations that ranges from 10 to 15 feet msl which may indicate an approximate
elevation of the sites ground water table. No indication of surface ponding was observed on the site.
However, surface water may drain as sheet flow in the higher portions of the site during rainy periods
and accumulate in lower portions. Perched ground water could develop during periods of high
precipitation or after site irrigation. Perched ground water is not expected to significantly impact the
proposed development provided the recommendations regarding drainage are implemented. Over-
watering on site should be avoided to reduce the potential for the buildup of a perched ground water
condition.
Undocumented fill was identified on the project site that reached a maximum thickness of
approximately 4 feet below ground level. A thick layer of alluvium associated with Otay Valley is
present across the entire site. The undocumented fill and the upper portion of alluvial materials are .
considered potentially compressible and generally unsuitable in their present state to support
additional fill or structural loads. The undocumented fill material and the upper portion of alluvial
materials should be removed during the grading of the site. According to the City's Engineering
Division, the project will require a grading permit. No geological or soil conditions were detected that
would prevent the development of the site as currently designed and/or mitigated.
The preparation and submittal of a final soils report will be required prior to the issuance of a grading
permit as a standard engineering requirement. According to the City's Engineering Division, Ll]e
project \vill require a grading permit. In order to prevent silt discharge during construction, the
developer will be required to comply with best management practices in accordance with "Nt'DES
Order No. R9-2007-0001. The appropriate erosion control measures would be identified in
conjunction with preparation of final grading plans and would be monitored and implemented during
construction by the Engineering Division. The mitigation measures contained in Section F below
would mitigate potential geological/soils impacts to a less than significance level. These measures are
included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
Draina!!e and Water Ouality
In order to assess potential hydrology and water quality impacts, a Drainage Study dated January.20,
2009, and the Water Quality Technical Report, dated January 20, 2009, prepared by S,mdro R.
Bermudez, were submitted for the project. According to the Engineering Department, the proposed
improvements and mitigation are adequate to handle the project storm water I1JI10ff generated from
the site. The existing flow and future anticipated flows are to be analyzed under the 2,10, and 50-year
flood event. The results of t.1clese studies are surnmarized below:
d
8-25
Existing Conditions
There are no drainage inlets in the area. The reinforced concrete pipe located at the southeast comer
of the property drains the storm runoff from Broadway directly toward the Omy Valley River. The
offsite contribution is an eaTh'1 swale t'1at begins at Main Street and runs along the east boundary line
of the properties facing Broadway. The earth swale includes the nlnoff from two other lots along
Broadway and half the width of Broadway in front of the subject pro~,erty. The eastern section of the
property also drains into the swale and eventually the discharge is received by the concrete pipe
located at the southeast comer of the property. The surface runoff from the southerly portion of the lot
discharges directly into Faivre Street and run westerly to a concrete cross gutter located at the
southeast comer of Fai,Te Street and 27~ Street. The western portion of the lot also drains toward t'1e
cross gutter at the comer of Faivre Street and 27th Street.
Proposed Improvements
According to the Engineering Department, the proposed improvements are adequate to handle the
project storm water runoff generated from the site. The proposed draiI1age improvements include the
construction of a drainage system under the sidewalk to replace the existing earth swale. The on-site
discharges from the southern half of the property will be channelized via curb and gutter to an
existing concrete cross-gutter at the beginning of the southwest comer of the lot. Due to the small
difference between the existing flow and the anticipated flow for the post-construction condition no
impact is anticipated to the properties or receiving waters downstream.
Additional Best Management Practices (BiYIPs) included as part of the project design consist of items
such as the use of the natural drain system (earth swale) for off-site storm runoff, and the drainage of
water off of the impervious sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots into the proposed landscaping,
area. The Project has also been designed to use corrugated steel pipe at the northeast comer of the
property to reduce velocity of the incoming flow. No storage of material shall be allowed outside the
recycling center. The site design BMP's have incorporated the installation and monitoring of t.l,e
irrigation system for the landscaped areas to reduce the over-irrigation, thereby reducing the over
saturation of the areas leading to excess run-off. Additional landscaped areas have been added
throughout the site. All driveways openings, sidewalks, a.c.,d drive aisles have beh.,g decreased, to
provide additional permeable areas. The trash enclosure areas are paved with in1pervious surface, and
designed to not allow run-off from adjacent areas, screened or walled to prevent off-site transport of
trash. The trash enclosure areas will also be covered and the site graded in such a way as to prevent
run-on into the trash enclosure area. Due to the small difference between the existing flow and the
anticipated flow for the post-construction condition, no in1pact is anticipated to the properties or
receiVing waters downstream. No adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards wiil
occur as a result of the proposed project.
As a standard condition, a final Drainage'study will be required with t'1e fIrst submittal ofr..'1e gradh.,g
permit and shall be approved by the City Engineer. Properly designed drainage facilities will be
installed at t.l,e time of Ll,e site development to 6e satisfaction of the City Engineer. In addition,
compliance with required ,,"FOES regulations and BMPs will reduce water quality impacts to a less
than significant level. These measures are included as a part of the Mitigation Monitoring. and
Reporting Program (See Section F).

Wastewater Sen;ices/Sewer System
The project site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The
existing area sewer facility system includes an 18" Chula Vista trunk sewer main and a 27" Metro
sewer main, both along Faivre Street. The applicant will be requireci to submit a final sewer study to
the satisfaction of the City Engineer. No adverse impacts to the e;'y's sewer system or City's sewer
threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project.' .
T ransporta ti on/Traffic
In order to assess potential traffic impacts, a Traffic Study dated August 27, 2008, prepared by
Linscott Law & Greenspan, was submitted for the project. The traffic analysis is summarized below.
Existing Conditions
According to the Engineering Department, the BroadwaylFaivre Street unsignalized intersection
currently operates at the level of service L.O.S. "C"/L.O.S. "D" Design. The Broadway street
segment will continue to operate at a L.O.S. "F". The Favire Street segment from Broadway to 27ili
Street currently operates at L.O.S. "A".
Proposed Improvements
The project proposes to add a recycling center that would generate trips to/from the site from
employees, customers, and delivery trucks. The project it calculated to generate approximately 232
Average Daily Trips. On February 12,2009 the Safety Commission approved 27tr. Street from a [wo-
way street to be a one-way street segment with traffic heading southbound. . 0
The BroadwaylFaivre Street unsignalized intersection is shown to continue to operate at a poor LOS
during the PM peak hour. This delay and LOS reflects the worst case minor street left turn
movements. The overall delay for the intersection is 0.9 seconds and 3.6 seconds for the A...l\1 and PM
peak hours, respectively. The percent-project traffic contribution to this already poorly operating
intersection is 2%. Thus, the project impact is considered a cumulative project impact. The Traffic
Study also analyzed the placement of a traffic signal at the intersection of Broadway and Faivre Street
due to any potential impacts due to the proposed proj ect. The study concluded that the maximum
minor-street left-turning volume from Faivre Street is 50 trips during the PM peak hour.
Approximately lOa peak hour trips would be required to warrant a traffic signal on a peak hour basis.
In addition, Faivre Street is forecasted to have 1,400 ADT on a typical weekday. This very low
amount of 24-hour volume would indicate that an 8-hour traffic signal warrant would not be met
either. The Faivre Street segment will continue to operate at LOS "A" and tbe Broadway segment
will continue to operate at LOS "F" with the addition of the project generated traffic. The percent-
project traffic contribution to tills already poorly operating intersection is 0.7%. Thus, the project
impact is considered a cumulative project impact. The Traffic Study concludes that tills project does
not warrant a traffic signal or any other additional alterations to the traffic circulation on or off the
site, other than what is proposed on the plans. As a standard condition, a 6-ft street dedication will be
required along Faivre Street and a 2-ft street dedication will be required along Broadway prior t6 the
Improvement Plan or building permit approval to the satisfaction of u1e City Engineer in order to
comply ",ith the City of Chula Vista Design Standards. Therefore, no significant traffic impacts will
be created as a result of the proposed project.

F. Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant lmnacts
Air Quality
1. The following air quality mitigation requirements shall be shown on all applicable grading, and
building plans as details, notes, or as othernise appropriate, and s'1all not be deviated from unless
approved in advance in writing by the City's Environmental Re\'i,~w Coordinator:
'.
. Minimize simultaneous operation of multiple construction equipment U11its.
. . Use low pollutant-emitting construction equipment.
. Use electrical construction equipment as practical.
. Use cataly1ic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment.
. Use injection-timing retard for diesel-powered equipment.
. Water the construction area twice daily to minimize fugitive dust.
. Stabilize graded areas as quickly as possible to minimize fugitive dust.
. Pave permanent roads as quickly as possible to minimize dust.
. Use electricity from power poles instead of temporary generators during building, if
available.
. Apply stabilizer or pave the last 100 feet of internal travel path within a construction site
prior to public road entry.
. Install wheel washers adjacent to a paved apron prior to vehicle entry on public roads.
o Remove anY"lsible track-out into traveled public streets within 30 minutes of occurrence.
. ,Vet wash the construction access point at the end of each workday if any vehicle travel on
unpaved surfaces has occurred.
. Provide sufficient perimeter erosion control to prevent washout of silty material onto public
ro~ .
. Cover haul trucks or maintain at least 12 inches of freeboard to reduce blow-off during
hauling.
. Suspend all soil disturbance and travel on unpaved surfaces if w'i,ds exceed 25 miles per
hour.
Biological Resources
2. To avoid any direct impacts to nesting migratory birds to occur during construction (including
clearing and grubbing), constrUction activities should occur outside of the nesting season (January
15 through August 31). If construction must occur during the breeding season, pre-construction
surveys shall be performed by a City-approved biologist to determine the presence or absence of
nesting migratory birds within 300-feet of the construction area. The pre-construction survey
shall be conducted within 10 calendar days prior to the start of any construction related activities
(including removal of vegetation), the results of which must be submitted to the City's
Environmental Projects ivIanager for review and approval. Ifnesnrlg migratory birds are detected
by the City- approved biologist, a biological monitor shall be present on-site du,,-ing construction
to minimize construction impacts and ensure that nest should not be removed or disturbed until
all young have fledged.
3. Prior to issuance of any la..""1d development permit, including clearing, grubbing or grading
permits, temporary orange biological fencing shall be installed around the area that may provide
nesting habitat for nesting migratory birds. Fencing shall be constructed in accordance with the
development plans to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator. The City's
Mitigation Monitor will conduct periodic site visits to verify the placement of t.'1e biological
fencing and to ensure that all construction activities remain within the approved limits of grading.

MITIGATION MONITORING Ai~D REPORTING PROGR.A....lvl (MMRP)
Broadwav Recvclinz Center- 1S-08-006
I,:
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared by the City of Chula Vista
in conjunction with the proposed Broadway Recycling proj ect. The proposed proj ect has been
evaluated in an Initial StudylMitigated Negative Declaration (IS-08-006) 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 for Mitigated Negative Declarations.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and/or significant environmental impacts.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Progra.'11 for this project ensures adequate
implementation of mitigation for the following potential impacts(s):
1. Air Quality
2. Biological Resources
3. Geology-and Soils
4. Drainage and Water Quality
5. Transportation/Traffic
.
MONITORING PROGRAtYI
Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinators
shall be the Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer of the City of Chula Vista.
The applicant shall be responsible to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program are met to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator and
City Engineer. Evidence in written form confirming compliance witi-J. the mitigation measures
specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-08-006 shall be provided by the applicant to the
Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer. The Environmental Review Coordi..'1ator
and City Engineer will thus provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have
been accomplished.
Table 1, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Checklist, lists the mitigation measures
contained in Section F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Effects, of Mitigated Negative
Declaration IS-08-006, which will be implemented as part of the project. In order to determine if
the applicant has implemented Li-J.e measure, the method and timing of verification are identified,
along with the City department Ot agency responsible for monitoring/verifying that the applicant
has completed each mitigation measure. Space for the signature of the verifying person and the
date of inspection is provided in the last column.

construction must occur during the breeding season, pre-
construction surveys shall be performed by a Cily-
approved biologist to determine the presence or absence
of nesting migratory birds within 300-feet of the
construction area. The ple-conshuction survey shall be
conducted witl1irl 10 ci1lendar days prior 10 the start of any
construction related activities (including removal of
vegetation), the results of which must be submitted to the
City's Environmental Projects Manager for review and

Comments:
a-b)The proposed project consists ofthe development ofa single-story 14,105 square-foot industrial structure
consisting of a 10,811 square-foot recycling center, 2,772 square-foot storage area, and a 522 square
foot of office space. The proposed project includes site improvements in accordance with the City of
Chula Vista Municipal Code and Design Review Guidelines. The, proposed landscape improvements
would enhance and improve the aesthetic quality of the Main Street corridor. The proposed project
would not damage any scenic resources, vegetation, or historic buil:lings within a state scenic highway.
The project site is identified as developable land according to the Multiple Species Conservation
Program Subarea PIa.']. (MSCP). The project site contains no scenic vistas or views open to the public
and therefore, no significant aesthetic impacts to these areas or resources are anticipated.
c) The proposal is an infill industrial development project. The proposed project will not substantially
degrade the existing visual character or quality of the project site or its industrial and commercial
surroundings. The project site is planned for industrial development according to the General Plan Land
Use regulations. However, the zoning is CT (Commercial Thoroughfare) requiring the rezone to Lirnited
L'1dustrial for the proposed project and consistency with the General Plan. The immediate surroundings
to the project site are all industrial land uses, therefore, no significant impacts to the industrial character
of the area are anticipated.
d) The proposal shall comply with the City's mmlffium standards for roadway lighting and shall be
completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building. The project will be required to
comply with the light and glare regUlations (Section 19.66.100) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code
(CVMe). Compliance with these regulations will ensure that no substantial glare, or light would affect
daytime or nighttime views in the surrounding area.

increased demand on fIre ser;ices will not result in a signifIcant cumulative impact. No adverse impact to the
City's Fire and Emergency Medical Tnreshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project.
d) According to the traffic analysis, the surrounding street segments and ~Itersections will continue to operate in
compliance with the City's traffic threshold standard with the proposed: project traffic. No adverse impact to
the City's traffic threshold standards would occur as a result oft,1e propo~'ed project.
e) Because the project is proposed for industrial use and located west of Interstate 805, this Threshold SI8o"ldard is
not applicable.
f) Based upon the re\oiew of the projec~ the Engineering Department has determl.'1ed that there are no signifIcant
issues regarding the proposed drainage improvements of the project site. The proposed drainage irnprovements
include the construction of a drainage system under the sidewalk to replace the existing earih swale. No adverse
impacts to the City's storm drainage system or City's dnainage threshold standards will occur as a result of the
proposed proj ect.
g) The existing area sewer facility system includes an 18" Chula Vista trunk sewer main and a 27" Metro sewer
main, both along Fai\oTe Street. The applicant will be required to submit a fInal sewer study to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer. No adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will
occur as a result of the proposed project.
h) The proposed project area is 'Within the Sweetwater District Water service territory. Tnere is an existing 6-inch
water main is located on the east side of 27'h Street. There are no water mains south or east of the parcel. In
addition tl,ere are no existing water services to this property. The Ov,ner must submit a street improvement

XXII. DETERl'YIINATION:
On the basis ofthis initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the 0
environment, and a Negative Declara tion will be prepared.
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 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 environment,
and an Environmental Impact Report is required.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but
at least one effect: I) 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 Emironmental
Impact Report is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be
"ddressed.
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 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 ErR,
including re,isions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.
An addendum has been prepared to provide a record of this determination.
