(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )

a 4.43 acre parcel i nto two zones to match the proposed 1 of 1 i ne plotted
in tentative parcel map TPM 86-19, which has been conditionally approved

commercial zone and RU-29 residential (29 dwellings per acre) would be
relocated 12 feet west of its present location.

the project was conducted by the Environmental Review Coordinator on
September 17, 1986, who concluded that there would be no significant
environmental effects and recommended that the Negative Declaration be
adopted.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Find that this project will have no significant environmental impacts and
adopt the Negative Declaration issued on IS-87-11M.
2. Adopt a motion to enact an ordinance to adjust the zone boundary between
the existing C-36 and RU-29 zone for the 4.43 acre parcel located at the
southwest corner of Third Avenue and Orange Avenue, to the location
coinciding with the property line approved as part of TPM 86-19, as shown
in Exhibit A of this report.

Existing site characteristics.
The project site consists of 4.43 acres of property located at the southwest
corner of Third Avenue and Orange Avenue. A tentative parcel map has been
conditionally approved separating the western portion of the property (3.480
acres) which contains a 124 unit apartment complex from the eastern portion of
the property (.96 acres) which is vacant. The property is level, and contains
a drainage culvert along the southern boundary of the property.
General plan.
The proposed zone boundary adjustment has no effect on the compliance of the
affected zones with the General Plan designation of Thoroughfare Commercial
• and High Density Residential for the property.
In terms of land use, the property under commercial zoning is vacant, and the
adjusted boundary will not encroach onto the area developed for residential
uses. Therefore, the proposed rezoning will not adversely affect or reduce
the property's compliance with the Chula Vista General Plan.
ANALYSIS
Prior to the last General Plan Amendment completed by the County of San Diego
for the Montgomery Area on May 15, 1985, the subject property was spl i t i nto
two zones. The western portion of the lot was zoned RC, a
residential/commercial zone allowing residential densities of up to 40
dwellings per acre, while the eastern portion of the lot was zoned C-36
General Commercial. The applicant began construction of a 124-unit apartment
complex situated on the western portion of the lot, with the intention of
constructing a convenience commercial center on the eastern portion of the
lot. The apartment project was designed using a zone boundary located 242
feet from centerline of Third Avenue.
Upon completion of the last General Plan Amendment, the property was zoned
RU-29 and C-36; the boundary between the two zones remained at its previous
location.
Upon annexation to the City of Chula Vista, a tentative parcel map was filed
in order to separate the property into two lots so that commercial uses could
~be pursued on that portion of the property zoned C-36. It was discovered at
• Page 3, Item 17
Meeting Date 17- 7i_6 �86
that time that the zone boundary separating the RU -29 and C -36 zone is located
230 feet from the centerline of Third Avenue, not 242 feet as the applicant
originally thought.
The applicant is requesting the zone boundary adjustment to conform with the
existing as -built location of the apartment complex. After review of the
applicant's request and the zoning history of the property, staff is
recommending approval of the zone boundary adjustment. The adjustment is
minor in nature, would move the boundary 12 feet to align with the proposed
property line separating the two parcels, and would not encroach into the
existing apartment use.
At this time there is no specific commercial project proposed. Consideration
of public improvements and public safety requirements will be done through the
Design Review process when a specific commercial proposal is brought forward.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
