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.

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.
