REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~ ~' (4/5ths Vote: YES_NO X )
San Diego Gas & Electric Company has submitted a Coastal Development Permit
application for the installation of a prefabricated 2,100 square foot
administrative building and an 11,000 square foot parking lot. The maxi-
mum height of the proposed building is 13' 1-3/4" above finished grade. The
parking lot construction will entail the removal of six inches of soil and
replacement with six inches of base and two inches of pavement. The
parking lot will include 28 parking spaces and one handicapped space. The
project site is indicated on Exhibit A.
• This project is exempt from the requirement from environmental review
pursuant to Section 15303 Class 3(c) of the CEQA guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt
the attached resolution:
1. Finding that the proposed modular administrative building and parking
lot are consistent with the policies of the certified Chula Vista
Local Coastal Program; and
2. Issuing Coastal Development Permit #032 subject to the conditions
in Attachment A to the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
Based on the following findings, the proposed building and parking lot have
been found to be consistent with the policies of the certified Chula Vista
Local Coastal Program.
1. The land use and zoning designations for the SDG&E property are
Industrial General. The use of a portion of the property for an
administrative office building is consistent with the provision in
Section 19.82.35 for allowing administrative offices as accessory
• uses to the industrial (power plant) use.
2. The proposed maximum height (13' 1-3/4") of the structure is
consistent with Map 2 in the Specific Plan, Building Height Controls,
Page 2, Item 19
Meeting Date 1/12/88
• which indicates that building heights may not exceed four stories
or 44 feet.
3. Condition of Approval #2 which requires that a silt fence be
installed prior to on-site grading consistent with Section 19.87.03-
Utility Service and Grading Objectives, which requires that existing
natural resources be protected from undue impact during construction
phases.
4. The project site is owned by a public utility company which has a
need for restricted access, therefore, the opportunity for public
access to the bay from this site for recreational use is restricted
and not inconsistent with the public access policies of the certified
LCP.
5. Statewide and regional interpretive guidelines have been reviewed
and the proposed project has been found to be in conformance with
the public access and public recreational policies of Chapter 3 of
the Public Resources Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not Applicable

ATTACHMENT A
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Provide updated soils information that indicates the actual amount of
excavation and recompaction that will be required for the proposed project.
This data is required because the excavation information in the Coastal
Development Permit application was not consistent with the soils report
that was provided. The soils report was,however, prepared for a different
type of building on an adjacent site.
2. Prior to -on-site grading the applicant shall install a silt-stop
sediment fence (or equal) between the area to be excavated and San Diego
Bay to minimize the potential for siltation.
