5inco de Miles 5K Event at Chula Vista Bayfront Park in Chula Vista

5inco de Miles 5K Event at Chula Vista Bayfront Park in Chula Vista

The proposed project is the 5inco de Miles 5K/1-mile moving event held one day in or around May in the city of Chula Vista, California. The event has a total expected attendance of approximately 500 people. All event participants would finish the race at the north end of Chula Vista Bayfront Park. The event route for participants in the 5K would start at Chula Vista Bayfront Park, run/walk south along the park and turn left onto the sidewalk and bike lane on Marina Way. Participants would then turn left onto Marina Parkway and complete one loop by traveling north along Marina Parkway, turning right onto the bike path along H Street, right onto the Bayshore Bikeway, and right again onto Marina Parkway. 5K event participants would then run approximately halfway up the north portion of Marina Parkway and make a U-turn to travel south back towards Marina Way. Participants would then make a right turn onto Marina Way and continue west to Chula Vista Bayfront Park where they would turn right at the end of Marina Way and complete the event at the north end of the park. The 1-mile event would start on the Bayshore Bikeway, south of H Street. Participants would run/walk south on the bikeway and make a right turn onto Marina Parkway. Participants would turn left onto Marina Way and then, same as the 5K event, would continue west to Chula Vista Bayfront Park, turn right at the end of Marina Way, and complete the event at the north end of the park. The proposed event would involve the temporary installation of vendor tents, tables and chairs, finish line equipment including an inflatable arch and generators, dumpsters, and toilets. The event would include amplified sound for music and announcements. The amplified sound would occur from approximately 6:30 am to 10 am and sound level meter applications would be used to ensure sound levels do not exceed permitting levels of 85 dB. The event would require temporary use of approximately forty-six (46) parking spaces at the southern end of the park and the remainder of the parking lot would be available for public use. Attendees will be encouraged to utilize public transportation, carpools, and ride-sharing services for this event. Two (2) interior lanes on Marina Way, two (2) north bound lanes from Marina Way to H Street, and one (1) north bound lane from Marina Way to Bay Boulevard would be temporarily closed to vehicles to allow for event participants to transition to and from the event route streets. Two (2) exterior lanes on Marina Way and two (2) south bound lanes on Marina Parkway would remain open. All temporary lane closures would be restored by 10 am. Set up and breakdown would occur on the same day as the event starting at approximately 5 am and concluding at approximately 11am. The 5K event is anticipated to begin at approximately 7am and conclude by approximately 8:30 am. The 1-mile event is anticipated to begin at approximately 8:30am and conclude by approximately 9:20am. 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.
