WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
determined that this proposed urgency ordinance is exempt from
environmental review under Section 4.3 (Class 5(f)) of the
environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, Section 19.12.130 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code authorizes the City Council to adopt, as an urgency measure,
an interim ordinance prohibiting any use which may be in conflict

intends to study within a reasonable time, and

other things, permitted uses and conditional uses in a general or
heavy commercial zone, and

Ordinance allow location of a cardroom in a general or heavy
commercial zone without application for a conditional use permit

review of the proposed site or placement of appropriate
conditions of approval by staff, as well as opportunity for
review and comment by the surrounding property owners and the
public in general, and
WHEREAS, without appropriate review and/or placement of
appropriate conditions, a cardroom could be located within the
Montgomery annexation area, which would create substantial
conflicts with adjacent commercial uses and inappropriate or
