GROUND
1. There are approximately 273 acres of industrially zoned property along the north
side of Otay Valley Road east of I-805 and another 5 acres on the south side in the City
of Chul Vista (see exhibit A). The remaining area on the south side of Otay Valley Road
is zone agriculturally, either by the City of Chula Vista or by the County of San Diego.
Of the 73 acres, approximately 230 are zoned I-P (General Industrial with the Precise
Plan Mo ifying District attached), 24 acres are zoned I-L (Limited Industrial), and 19
acres z ned I-L-P (Limited Industrial with the Precise Plan- Modifying District attached).
The 5 a res on the south side are zoned I-L. The proposal is to attach the Precise Plan
Modifyi g District to the remaining 24 acres on the north side and 5 acres on the south
side of Otay Valley Road and to establish appropriate precise plan guidelines on those
propert es as well as the properties which are now subject to the Precise Plan Modifying
Distric but are without precise plan guidelines.
2. When the 230 acres were rezoned to I-P in 1973, no precise plan guidelines were
tabli hed for the development of the properties in the zone. However, in 1979 the
City Co ncil adopted guidelines for the 98 acre Otay Industrial Park subdivision which
is loca ed in the northeast corner of the 230 acre I-P zone. (The development of the
Otay In ustrial Park was originally intended to be governed by deed restrictions and
regulat d by an owners association.) No guidelines were established for the remaining
132 ac s .
3. The 19 acres of I-L-P zoning covers the northerly portion of three split-zoned
parcels the southerly portions of which are zoned I-L. Precise plan guidelines have
been es ablished for the 19 acres which basically address grading, lot consolidation and
setback from an earthquake fault which traverses the property on the east side of Brandy-
wine Av nue.
4. The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review as a
Class 5 exemption.
B. RECOMMENDATION:
ur with Planning Commission recommendation.
C. PLAf~NING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
On pril 14, 1982 the Planning Commission voted 5-1 with one member absent to recommend
that th City Council enact an ordinance attaching the "P" Precise Plan Modifying District
the roperties on the north and south sides of Otay Valley Road east of I-805, and adopt
cise plan guidelines in accordance with Resolution PCZ-82-G.

1. After many years of inactivity this industrial area is starting to show signs of
developing. Besides the 98 acre Otay Industrial Park, a tentative map encompassing
appro imately 40 acres (Otay Valley Industrial Park) has been approved and is in the
final ap stage. Another 40 acre tentative map (Rio Otay Industrial Park) was approved
by Council on April 20, 1982, and an industrial user (Hyspan) is planning development on
5 acres located at the northeast corner of Otay Valley Road and Brandywine Avenue in the
I-L zone.
2. The following represents a number of reasons why the Precise Plan Modifying
District should be attached to the abutting properties:
a. Approximately 90% of the 278 acres already has the "P" district attached.
Havin all industrial properties in the area subject to design review and guidelines will
provi a degree of consistency;
b. A portion of the area is adjacent to existing single family residential
areas;

two st
c. The area is adjacent to permanent open space represented by Otay River and
lain;
d. The precise plan review and guidelines will help insure a higher quality
ial area;
e. Otay Valley Road is on the freeway interchange into the city; and
f. There is a possibility that a portion of the properties on the south side
road may be designated for industrial use at some time in the future.
It becomes important to develop guidelines which address the aforementioned
before the area actually begins to develop and a trend is established. The
ishment of building setbacks in keeping with building scale, the elimination
'standing pole signs, and provision for design review by the Design Review
~ee represent positive steps to insure the development of a quality industrial
a. Setbacks.
Standard setbacks established for the two industrial zones are:
I-L
I
Front Exterior Side
20' 15'
25' 15'
The proposed guidelines suggested for this area will provide consistency with
cs established along Otay Valley Road at 20' for one story buildings and 30' for
pry, and 20' setback along Brandywine.
b. Signing.
The standard I-L and I zone regulations allow freestanding signs to be a
maxim of 35' in height and 150 sq. ft. in area; monument signs 8' in height and 50
~q. f in area may be used in lieu of the freestanding sign. The precise plan guidelines
roposed for this 278 acre industrial area would limit the freestanding signs to a
monum nt type program.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL THE ATTACHMENT OF THE "P" PRECISE PLAN
MODIFYING DISTRICT TO 29 ACRES OF I-L ZONED PROPERTY AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRECISE PLAN GUIDELINES FOR 180 ACRES OF
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF OTAY VALLEY ROAD
EAST OF I-805
WHEREAS, there are approximately 273 acres of industrially zoned property
g the north side of Otay Valley Road east of I-805 and 5 acres on the south
of Otay Valley Road, and
WHEREAS, the "P" Precise Plan Modifying District has been attached to 249
s of the industrially zoned land north of Otay Valley Road, and
WHEREAS, the City initiated a public hearing to consider attaching the
"P

' Modifying District to the additional 29 acres in the I-L zone and the establish-
it of precise plan guidelines for 180 acres included in the "P" Modifying District,
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission set the time and place for a hearing
on said attachment and guidelines., and notice of said hearing, together with its
pu pose was given by the publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the
ci~y at least 10 days prior to the date of said hearing, and
WHEREAS, a hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely
7:~0 p.m., April 14, 1982, before the Planning Commission and said hearing was
th
ash
fter closed, and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is categorically exempt from environmental review
a Class 5 exemption.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. From facts presented to the Commission, the Commission finds that
public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice support
th attachment of the "P" Precise Plan Modifying District to 29 acres in the I-L
zo e, located on the north and south sides of Otay Valley Road east of I-805, and
the adoption of the following precise plan guidelines:
a. The building setback along both sides of Otay Valley Road shall be a
~ ~ r..
minimum of 20 .feet for single story structures or portions thereof,
•
not exceeding 20 feet in height. Two story structures or portions
thereof, exceeding 2U feet in height, shall set back a minimum of
30 feet.
•
~,.
J .\
b. The building setback along both sides of Brandywine Avenue shall be
a minimum of 20 feet.

c. The area to which the "P" Modifying District is applied consists of
or more properties under separate ownership wherein coordination regarding
ess, onsite circulation, site planning, building design and identification
necessary to enhance the public convenience, health, safety and general welfare.
One of the lots within the subject area is a panhandle parcel with
only 13 feet of street frontage. The attachment of the "P" Modifying
District will require that this property either be consolidated with
adjacent properties to the east or that adequate access is provided
to the major portion of the panhandle lot. Site planning and building
design review by the Design Review Committee is already required for
approximately 90~ of the property in question. The addition of parcels
presently zoned for industrial use without the "P" Modifying District
will provide consistent review and standards for the entire area.

3. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that said change
zone and adoption of precise plan guidelines be approved.
4. That this resolution be transmitted to the City Council and a copy
transmitted to the owners of the property.

c. The only freestanding. business signs allowed shall be ground (monument)
signs. Said signs shall maintain a 10 foot minimum setback from all
property lines.
d. Unless jointly subdivided the two assessor's parcels (644-040-01 and
-20) located on the west side of Brandywine shall either be consoli-
dated or an industrial width road access (minimum 30 feet curb to
curb without pdrking) shall be provided from Brandywine through
parcel #1 to serve parcel #20. Prior to the issuance of a building
permit on parcel #20, or• the combined lots #1 and #20, Timber Street
east of Oleander shall be completed with permanent improvements
subject to the approval of the City Engineer.
e. A 125 foot wide building setback shall be maintained on each side
of the centerline of the La Nacion fault unless otherwise approved
by the Design Review Committee based on evidence submitted by a
•
qualified geologist.
f. Contour grading shall be utilized in concert with landscaping and
berming to buffer the adjacent residential areas from industrial
uses. Industrial building heights shall be limited and set back from
the residential area to insure compatibility.
2. Findings in support of applying the "P" Modifying District to the 29
ac
s are as follows:
a. The subject property or the neighborhood or area in which the property
is located in unique by virtue of topography, geological characteristics, access,
figuration, traffic circulation, or some social or historic situation requiring
sG
ial handling of the development on a precise plan basis.
The subject area is adjacent to a permanent open space area and major
interstate freeway. In addition, topographic and future traffic
~ ~~
~~~
circulation require a coordinated planning effort.
b. The property or area to which the "P" Dodifying District is applied is
area adjacent and contiguous to a zone allowing different land uses and the develop-
nt of a precise plan will allow the area so designated to coexist between land
C7
uses which might otherwise prove incompatible.
The subject properties are contiguous to single family areas on the
north and west. The attachment of the "P" Modifying District will
permit the development of guidelines to insure compatibility between
the uses.
