ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES- NO X )
A. BACKGROUND
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a precise plan in order to move an existing
single family dwelling from 440 "L" Street onto the rear portion of a 9,495 sq, ft. parcel
at 428 "L" Street in the R-3-P-14 zone. The parcel is presently developed with a single
family dwelling.
2. This report involves the consideration of two separate items; the first being the
precise plan, and the second involving the proposed move-on of an existing structure.
Since the move-on cannot take place unless the precise plan is approved, the two items are
considered together in this report.
3. The proposed project is categorically exempt from environmental review as a class
3a exemption.

Adjacent zoning and land use:
North R-1 Chula Vista High School
South R-3-P-14 Vacant (proposed apartments)
East R-3-P-14 Single family residence

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

Street in accordance with resolution PCM-78-5.

detached garage located on the easterly side of the property and to the rear of the
dwelling. The original garage has been converted to living quarters. However, the
concrete driveway and approach still exist in front of the dwelling. An additional
concrete driveway, leading to the detached garage, is located just east of the original
driveway.
3. Proposed move-on and precise plan.
a. The proposed move-on is a single story wood frame and wood exterior single
family structure located at 440 "L" Street. The dwelling is being moved in order to
allow for the construction of 17 apartment units recently approved for that parcel.
b. The applicant intends to place the move-on to the rear of the existing
dwelling and remove the detached garage. The garage conversion will be reconverted
into a garage in order to provide parking for the existing dwelling. The existing
driveway will be extended to provide two offstreet parking spaces and a turnaround
between the two dwellings. The move-on will be located 15 feet from the rear property
line with a proposed 5' X 15' addition located 5 feet from the west property line.
c. The applicant intends to reroof each dwelling with matching asphalt shingles
and repaint the structures to match. Inasmuch as the two structures would be color
coordinated and have matching roofs, the Planning Commission found the two structures
to be architecturally compatible and recommended that the City Council approve the
move-on.
C. ANALYSIS
1. While the precise plan guidelines for this section attempted to encourage
consolidation of lots, such consolidation was considered to be difficult because
several lots now contain more than one dwelling unit and the cost of moving units in
order to construct a fairly low density apartment is high.
2. The staff has held a meeting with the applicant and the owner of the parcel to
the east to discuss a joint access driveway to serve the rear development of both parcels.
Further testimony given by the applicant indicates an interest on the part of both
property owners to cooperate and reach an agreement in the near future. The Planning
Commission resolution requires that an agreement be reached by both parties, noting that
failure to do so will result in further review by the Zoning Administrator. Access to
the rear yard of the most easterly property is virtually impossible without such an
agreement. In addition, joint driveways will minimize the number of curb cuts on "L"
Street and create a better environment for the construction of units at the rear of these
lots. It is proposed to widen the proposed access from 9'6" to 11'6" with the joint
agreement.
3. The proposed plan either meets or exceeds the precise plan guidelines with the
exception of the proposed addition to the move-on dwelling which will be located 5 feet
from the side property line instead of 8 feet as required. Under the guidelines, the
8 feet may be reduced depending upon the orientation and length of the building. Since
the proposed addition is a single story structure only 15 feet in length, the effect on
the adjacent property would be negligible.

fdOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY PLANNING COMPASSION 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 property will be developed at a density lower than the zoning would allow.
The conditions of approval will ensure that the development will not be detri-
mental or injurious to persons or property in the immediate vicinity.
b. That such plan satisfies the principles of the application of the "P" P1odifying
District as set forth in Section 19.46.041.
The two structures will be made architecturally compatible through the use of
matching roof materials and exterior colors.
c. 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 Modifying District.
The reduction of the 8 foot sideyard guideline to 5 feet should not affect
adjacent properties.
d. That approval of this plan will conform to the General Plan and the adopted
policies of the city.
- The plan conforms to the General Plan..
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Planning Commission finds that the
single family dwelling to be moved on to the site is architecturally compatible
with the area and recommends to the City Council the approval of the Precise Plan
for redevelopment of the property at 428 "L" Street, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The existing converted garage shall be reconverted into a garage.
2. The two residential structures shall be reroofed with matching asphalt
shingles and the exteriors shall be repainted with compatible color schemes.
3. Six foot high fencing shall be provided along the east, west, and south
property lines, except within the front setback area. In the event any
fencing is erected by any adjacent property owner prior to a request for
occupancy, the fencing along that property line will be waived.
4. The move-on structure and any proposed additions may maintain a 5 foot
minimum sideyard setback for a distance not to exceed 20 feet. (The
guidelines specify an 8 foot setback in anticipation of multi-family
development.
5. The applicant shall comply with all regulations of the Code and require-
ments of the Building and Housing Department regarding the move-on.
6. The applicant shall pursue a joint access agreement with the adjacent
property owner to the east. Failure to achieve a mutually agreed upon
easement will necessitate further review by the Zoning Administrator
prior to issuance of a building permit.
