SUMMARY
The Millenia project (formerly known as the Eastern Urban Center) includes approximately 207 acres of land owned by SLF IV/Millenia, LLC (Applicant). Millenia is located along the SR 125 tollway between Birch Road and the future Hunte Parkway/Main Street extension (Attachment 1), and is approved for approximately 3.5 million square feet of non-residential uses, and 2,983 multi-family housing units.

The approved Eastern Urban Center (EUC) SPA Plan currently requires development within the Gateway Mixed Use Commercial District 1 (Gateway District 1) to have a minimum average building height of 40 feet or 3-stories within a designated portion of this District. The Applicant has submitted a Major Project Application (MPA) to amend the SPA Plan to relocate the boundary between two building height categories within District 1 to reduce the required building height to conform to the footprint of the Retail Center proposed by Sudberry Properties.

In addition to a MPA, a Design Review Permit (DR) is required for the proposed Sudberry Retail Center. The project is subject to the consolidated permit processing provisions pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Section 19.14.050.C. Under the consolidated review process, the City Council is reviewing and acting on the SPA plan amendment, and the Design Review.
