SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Di recto r

REVIEWED BY: City Manager ~~~'~' (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
Dixieline Lumber Company, owners of the property located at the northwest
corner of Fifth Avenue and "C" Street, propose to grade and fill their site
which is located within the boundaries of the coastal zone. A grading plan
was approved by the City Engineer and a Negative Declaration, IS-85-59, was
issued for the proposal. A coastal development permit application has been
reviewed and subject to conditions is recommended to be approved.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the attached resolution and findings
therein: 1) Finding that the proposed project is consistent with and adequate
to carry out the policies of the certified Chula Vista Local Coastal Program,
and 2) Authorizing the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit for said
proposal subject to the conditions listed in Attachment A of said resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant proposes to place 223,000 cu. yds. of imported fill material
onto a triangular parcel of land which is approximately 17 acres. The fill
material will be placed to a maximum depth of 14' with an average depth of
13'. The resulting slope will be kept a minimum of 100' distant from the
outer limits of wetlands vegetation located within the existing drainage ditch
that runs parallel to the south property line. South facing slopes will be a
maximum 3:1 ratio. A 12-inch earth berm will be constructed at the top of
slope to direct sheet drainage to a single down drain which will empty into
riprap for filtering sedimentation.
Erosion control will be incorporated into the project. Prior to the placement
of the fill a filter fence (sediment control fencing) will be installed near
the foot of the slopes. This will avoid siltation into the down stream
wetland area. This project also will be conditioned to comply with the City's
LCP regulation regarding grading and drainage. All grading activities will be

prohibited within the period from November 1 to April 1 of any given year and
all graded areas will be planted within 60 days of the initial disturbance and
prior to the November 1 date with temporary or permanent erosion control
methods.
The grading proposal submitted by the applicant will not encroach or impact
the down stream wetland area nor will identified riparian vegetation be
disturbed.
Based on the following findings, the proposed grading plan, subject to the
conditions listed on Attachment A of the attached resolution, has been found
to be consistent with the policies of the certified Chula Vista Bayfront Local
Coastal Program:
1. The certified Chula Vista Land Use Plan designates the inland parcel,
subarea 6 as not coastal-related, therefore no adverse impact on shoreline
access, water related recreational or visitor serving commercial, or
marine resources are anticipated to occur due to the proposed development.
2. The site is not located adjacent to or near the coastline, therefore, will
not obstruct any coastal views or vistas nor will the site development
reduce the amount of park land committed to the coastal area.
3. The project will not effect traffic circulation within the Bayfront
interior or along the shoreline since the inland parcel is physically
removed from these coastal related areas.
4. The grading plan has been developed and conditioned to avoid siltation
into the down stream wetland and disturbance to identified riparian
vegetation. These provisions, when the plan is implemented will insure no
impact to wetland resources.
