MINUTES RESOLUTION NO. MPA20-0012
MINUTES RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THE
CITY COUNCIL DENY PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE
CITY’S GENERAL PLAN , THE SUNBOW II GENERAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AND THE SUNBOW II SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA PLAN TO REZONE A VACANT 135.7
ACRE PARCEL FROM INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL USE
RESULTING IN 718 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS
After a duly noticed Public Hearing, and after consideration of all evidence in the record, the Planning Commissi on voted 6 -0 to recommend City Council denial of the proposed amendments to the City’s General Plan , the Sunbow II General Development Plan, and the Sunbow II Sectional Planning Area Plan to rezone a vacant 135.7 acre parcel from industrial to residential use, resulting in 718 new residential units within the Sunbow II Phase 3 planned community (the “P roject”). The recommendation was based on the following findings and concerns: (1) maintaining the industrial land uses on the site as identified in the Gene ral Plan is important to achieving a jobs/housing balance and economic vitality within the City; (2) the financial and other benefits negotiated in the proposed Development Agreement do not outweigh the lost value of the industrial land designation; and (3) the Project, as presented, is not in the best overall interests of the City in light of the close proximity of residential land uses to the landfill and the lack of commercial/industrial development opportunities.
Approved as to form by
