Chula Vista City Zoning Code

19.72 Zoning

Regulations for Bonita-Sunnyside

19.72.010 Intent.

A. The City Council of the City of Chula Vista intends to allow county zoning regulations to continue in effect in the Bonita-Sunnyside area while a study is conducted to determine the relationship of existing development, county zoning regulations and proposed City zoning for the area. The Sweetwater Planning Committee will review these issues and make recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on a proposed zoning plan. This area is specifically described in the annexation maps as filed with the local agency formation commission and encompasses the area formerly served by the Bonita-Sunnyside Fire Protection District.

B. In the event that conflicts arise as to the provisions of this chapter and any other provisions of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, the latter shall take precedence, except as to those items specifically relating to land use regulation.

C. In the event that this chapter, any section within this chapter, or any portion of any section in this chapter is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this chapter shall be in full force and effect. (Ord. 2264 § 1, 1988; Ord. 2198 § 1, 1987).

19.72.020 Adoption of county zoning regulations.

For the purpose of regulating the use of land, the height of buildings, and the area of lots, building sites, yard spaces and other matters relating to zoning, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby adopts San Diego County Ordinance No. 5281 (New Series), commonly referred to as the “Zoning Ordinance San Diego County,” as the zoning ordinance for the Bonita-Sunnyside area as though fully set forth herein. Said ordinance is adopted in its entirety except for Sections 1000 through 1019 and Part 7. (Ord. 2198 § 1, 1987).

19.72.030 Terms.

A. Wherever the phrase “Board of Supervisors” appears in CVMC 19.72.020, it shall be read as the “City Council of the City of Chula Vista.”

B. Wherever the phrase “San Diego County Planning Commission,” “Planning Commission” or “Board of Planning and Zoning Appeals” appears in CVMC 19.72.020, it shall be read as the “Chula Vista Planning Commission.”

C. Wherever the phrase “Zoning Administrator” appears in CVMC 19.72.020, it shall be read as the “Zoning Administrator of the City of Chula Vista.”

D. Wherever the phrase “minor use permit,” “administrative permit” or “major use permit” appears in CVMC 19.72.020, it shall be read as “conditional use permit.” (Ord. 2264 § 1, 1988; Ord. 2198 § 1, 1987).

19.72.040 Fees.

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in CVMC 19.72.020, the master fee schedule of the City of Chula Vista shall be used to determine the appropriate fee for the processing of zoning applications, land use applications and variances. (Ord. 2264 § 1, 1988; Ord. 2198 § 1, 1987).

19.72.050 Duties of Zoning Administrator.

The City Council of the City of Chula Vista recognizes that the adoption of the county of San Diego Zoning Ordinance for the Bonita-Sunnyside area will create ambiguities with the zoning regulations for the remainder of the City of Chula Vista. The City Council, therefore, authorizes the Zoning Administrator to use the Council’s expressed intent for the Bonita-Sunnyside area to resolve these ambiguities in the administrative process. (Ord. 2264 § 1, 1988; Ord. 2198 § 1, 1987).
