A. This title is based on the Chula Vista General Plan as to the general pattern of future land uses, population densities, and other principles for future land development contained in said plan. Amendments to this title are to be in general accordance with said plan.

B. This title recognizes the need of all uses to be protected from other uses which are unrelated or incompatible. Each district is exclusive with respect to every other zoning district and industrial districts are protected from encroachment by residential uses as firmly as residential districts are protected from industrial encroachment.

C. This title recognizes the importance to the public welfare of order and beauty in the appearance of Chula Vista, implemented through provisions for the review of the appearance of many structures and buildings, and by provisions for site plan review and landscaping. Such provisions are intended to provide the minimum amount of regulation necessary to encourage orderliness of appearance.

D. Site area, yard, off-street parking and other standards in this title are based on the best accepted contemporary practices, and variance from the strict application of standards is available when individual hardship would otherwise occur.

E. For large-scale projects, an approved community plan or unit site plan may be substituted for strict compliance with otherwise applicable standard district regulations.

F. Uses which would adversely affect adjoining uses or the public welfare, unless designed in a particular way or permitted only in certain locations, or which cannot be readily placed in a particular zoning classification, are allowed only as conditional uses, subject to the authority of the Planning Commission.

G. All uses are subject to control by performance standards, to enable potential nuisances to be measured factually and objectively and to protect any uses from arbitrary exclusion or persecution based solely on past characteristics of such uses. (Ord. 1356 § 1, 1971; Ord. 1212 § 1, 1969; prior code § 33.103).
