Document Description
The proposed project 1s the annual Philippine Medical Association San Diego (PMASD) 5K held in the city of Chula Vista, California. All event participants would begin and finish the race at Bayfront Park. Runners and walkers participating in the 5K would run east towards Marina Way, turn onto Marina Parkway, continue north along Marina Parkway, turn west towards Bayside Park, and finish the race by looping back towards Bayfront Park. There would be City of Chula Vista Traffic Control, along with event organizers, present to help runners/walkers safely cross the street, manage traffic, and maintain two-way traffic on Marina Parkway and Manna Way for the duration of the event. There would be no road closures during the event.
Event staging, including first aid and food stations, and other event entertainment, would be located at Bayfront Park. The 5K is scheduled to occur in the early morning, and the event is anticipated to conclude by approximately 2:00 pm. The proposed event would take place in October and would have an approximate duration of approximately one (1) day, including set-up and breakdown. The event attendance is anticipated to be approximately 1,000 people. Signage would be placed at Bayfront Park and along Marina Parkway to notify members of the public a minimum of 72 hours in advance of the event. During the event, the promenade shall remain open and available for use. Parking for event participants would be available at Chula Vista Bayfront Park, and a dirt lot in the nearby vicinity. No parking spaces would be required for event staging.
Due to its temporary nature and limited scope, the proposed event would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
