IS-80-17 DATE: November 8, 1979 A. Project Setting The proposed project involves 3.84 acres of property located between I-5 and Industrial Blvd. at Moss St. Current uses of the site include one single family dwelling fronting on Industrial Blvd, and a billboard sign located at the southwest corner of the property. The land is presently being utilized for truck crop farming. An unimporved portion of Moss St. borders the northerly property line, however, this right-of-way has been recently vacated by the City. Adjacent land uses include; truck crop farm land with two existing dwellings, freeway on and off ramps and a commercial recreation center to the north, Industrial Blvd. and the S.D.A. & E railway right-of-way to the east, a mobile home park to the south and I-5 to the west. There is a general lack of natural or man-made resources due to the agricultural use of the land and there have not been any geologic hazards identified within the vicinity. Expansive soils may be present on the site. Future development is planned for property directly north of this site but will require further environmental review. B. Project Description The applicant proposes to construct an industrial complex to be completed in two phases. The first phase will involve the southern portion of the site for the construction of a 60,192 sq. ft. building to house RTA International, a wholesale appliance distribution center. Several offices, a showroom, and a large warehouse to be located 15 ft. from the southerly property line are proposed. In addition, 60 parking spaces are shown on the plan. Phase II, which is anticipated to be developed in approximately 5-10 years, will entail the construction of an additional 19,040 sq. ft. of warehouse floor space. Parking for a total of 79 vehicles will ultimately be provided. C. Compatibility with zoning and plans The proposed industrial complex is in basic zone although the applicant is requesting a ~ building setback from 50' to 15' adjacent to property to the south. conformance with the I-P reduction of the the residential ~~~~ This request will be included in the precise plan review. The proposed project is not inconsistent with the industrial land use designation on the General Plan. D. Identification of environmental effects 1. Soils A soils investigation submitted by the applicant indicates that expansive soils are present on site. To ensure stable construction, the recommendations contained within the report shall be incorporated into the project. 2. Noise Staff conducted noise readings at a location approximately 250 ft. from the I-5 freeway right-of-way along the south property line to determine the present ambient noise levels affecting+~he adjacent mobile home park. An average reading of L10=65_1 dBA was recorded at 2:45 p.m. on November 6, 1979. The applicant has indicated that rooftop air conditioning units are planned for the showroom and office areas adjacent to the south property line. Although present noise levels are relatively high the potential for adverse noise generation exists. There shall be adquate soundproofing of the air conditioning units to conform to the performance standards listed in the C Chula Vista Municipal Code (Sec. 19.66) 3. Aesthetics The project is highly visible from I-5 freeway and will require adequate visual screening of parking areas either by solid fencing along the westerly property line or substantial land- scaping with screening characteristics. The "Scenic Highways" element of the General Plan has designated this area one of the "gateways" to the city and therefore requires that heavy emphasis be placed on substantial landscaping adjacent to the freeway right-of-way. Parking lot lighting and security lighting create the potential for excess glare onto the adjacent residential area to the south and the public right-of ways. These lights shall be shielded to reduce the amount of glare. The precise plan process shall ensure that the above effects are mitigated. E. Mitigation necessary to avoid significant impacts 1. Recommendations contained within the soils investigation submitted by the applicant shall be incorporated into the project to ensure stable construction. 2. Air conditioning units shall be screened and soundproofed to conform to the perofrmance standards listed in the Chula Vista Municipal Code. (Sec. 19.66) "1~ 3. Substantial landscaping shall be installed adjacent to I-5 h C~") freeway and shall be in conformance with the "Scenic Highways" 1VA`U element of the General Plan. -3- 4. Exterior parking lot lights and security lights shall be shielded to prevent excessive glare on adjacent properties or right-of-ways. F. Findings of insignificant impact 1. The project is void of any significant natural or manmade resources and there are no known geologic hazards within the vicinity. Expansive soils have been found to be present, however, potential impacts can be mitigated. 2. The proposed industrial complex is in conformance with the General Plan and associated elements nor will short term goals be attained to the disadvantage of long term environmental goals. 3. Potential impacts that have been identified can be mitigated to an acceptable level and none are anticipated to occur which would interact and result in a substantial cumulative effect on the environment. 4. The project will generate considerable vehicle traffic but will not result in overloading adjacent streets. No threat to human life will occur due to project implementation. Although the proposed is industrial it will not result in the emission of any hazardous waste materials or pollutants. l G. Consultation Individuals & Organizations City of Chula Vista - D. J.

PCP1-80-10 RESOLUTI0~1 OF THE CITY PLANNI~dG COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THE APPROVAL OF A PRECISE PLAN FOR FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPP1ENT OF 3.84 ACRES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE 1000 BLOCK OF IPDUSTRIAL BOULDUARD IN THE I-P ZONE WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 1649 adopted by the Chula Vista City Council on October 14, 1975 established the zoning for approximately 6.71 acres located east of I-5, south of L Street, as I-P, and WHEREAS, a precise plan for industrial development of 3.84 acres on the west side of the 1000 block of Industrial Boulevard, in the I-P zone, way sub- mitted by RI"A International, and bJHEREAS, the City Planning Commission, at a duly advertised public hearing held at 7:00 p.m. on November 28, 1979 in the Council Chamber, 276 Fourth Avenue, considered the precise plan as submitted, and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found that the proposed project would not have any significant environmental impact and adopted the Plegative Declaration on IS-80-17. NOW, THEREr'ORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Planning Commission finds as follows: a. That such plan 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 proposed setbacks and areas devoted to landscaping will result in an attractive industrial development. b. That any exceptions granted which deviate from the underlying zoning require- ments shall be warranted only when necessary to meet the purpose and application of the P Precise Plan f1odifying District. The reduction in the required 50 foot side yard setback to 15 feet will enable the applicant to orient the loading docks and activity areas associated with industrial use avaay from the adjoining residential use. The 15 foot setback will permit the area to be landscaped with plant materials which will soften the exterior appearance of the building and the waiver of a zoning wall along that property line will provide light and air necessary for the growth of such plant material. Since no openings are located on that side of the building, the adjoining property will not be subject to any adverse activity. ~ ~~~ ,,. `hat such ;;lan satisfies the principles of the application of the P modifying district as set forth in Section 19.46.041. The subject property is located along a designated scenic route (I-5). The amount of landscaping proposed on the project will enhance this entrance to the city. d. That approval of this plan will conform to the general plan and the adopted policies of the city. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan designation for this area. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the precise plan for industrial development of 3.84 acres on the west side of the 1000 block of Industrial Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: a. All billboards on the applicant's property and the power pole providing service to the billboard shall be removed as part of Phase I of the development. b. The curb openings in Phases I and II shall be widened to 30 feet. c. A six foot high view obstructing fence shall be installed along the north side of the driveway between the single family dwelling and industrial building. The fence shall extend from the front setback line 25 feet westerly to the trash enclosure. d. One onsite fire hydrant is required; the size and location shall be subject to the determination of the Fire P-1arshal. e. Exterior lighting shall be shielded to prevent excessive glare on adjacent properties or rights of way. f. The architecture of the buildings shall be subject to approval by the Design Review Committee.
