Analysis:
Tentative Map
Subdivision Design
The subdivision design consists of seventeen lots served by a "T" shaped private driveway with
access from Moss Street. Each unit will consist of three stories with two bedrooms and atwo-car
garage. The entrances to the garages face the private drive with landscape planters between
garage doors. The front entrance to each unit is located on the opposite side of the building
adjacent to sidewalks and landscaped areas. running parallel to the side property lines. The
homeowners' association, required as part of the Tentative Subdivision Map, will be responsible
for the maintenance of the private driveway, landscaping, and on-site facilities.
A Tentative Subdivision Map is required for a division of land resulting in four or more lots or
condominium units, pursuant to Section 2 of the City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual. The
site will be designed to comply with the- Subdivision Manual lot design criteria. The proposed
project would be consistent with surrounding multi-family development and would complement
the area. The recreation building, BBQ area, and other open space areas throughout the site, as
well as private balconies on each unit, meet the required open space required for each unit.
Overall the subdivision design is in conformance with the City's Subdivision Manual, Zoning
Ordinance and other associated regulatory documents.
Grading
The site consists of a rectanglularly shaped lot where the front of the lot, adjacent to Moss Street,
is level with the street grade. However, the lot gradually slopes downward with a steep slope in
the rear of the site. A retaining wall is required along the eastern property line in order to allow
the construction of three of the seventeen multi-family condominium units, driveway, sidewalk,
and associated landscaping in the rear of the lot. The Variance application permitted a retaining
wall that exceeds the maximum 6-foot in height along the eastern side property line. The wall
varies in height from 6-feet to a maximum of 12.7-feet in order to build condominium units in
the rear of the property. The Applicant must obtain a Land Development Permit prior to
beginning any earthwork activities at the site and before issuance of building permits in
accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Title 15.05. The Applicant- shall also submit
Grading plans in conformance with the City's Subdivision Manual and the City's Development
Storm Water Manual requirements.
Project Access
Vehicular access to the site is provided from Moss Street through an on-site 24-ft wide private
driveway with no parking on either side. At the end of the private driveway will be a fire
turnaround 90-feet in length per the Fire Departments regulations. The units will access the 2-car
garages off of the private driveway. Two enhanced pavement areas are being provided at the
front entrance to the site and the other in the center of the site adjacent to the BBQ area. Street
improvements within the right-or-way will include a 5-foot wide sidewalk, and curb and gutter to
match the adjacent public improvements.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2011, Item ~
. Page4of5
Drainage
The proposed drainage improvements for each building will drain storm water runoff from the
roof into a ribbon gutter to convey the surface runoff on the driveway into a 4' by 4' catch basin.
A 24" reinforced concrete pipe then carries the runoff from the catch basin into the lowest point
of the site situated on the northwest corner of the parcel.
Additional Best Management Practices (BMPs) are included as part of the project design. No
adverse impacts to the City's drainage threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed
project. The proposed improvements are adequate to handle the project storm water runoff
generated from the site. A final drainage study will be required prior to issuance of any building
permit.
Storage
Pursuant to Section 15.56 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC), two bedroom
condominium units are required to provide a total of 200 cubic feet of storage space. The Project
proposes 145 cubic feet of storage per unit within the garage and 108 cubic feet in a storage
closet adjacent to the front entrance of each unit. Therefore, each unit would provide 253 cubic
feet of storage space, which exceeds the minimum of 200 cubic feet required per the CVMC.
Public Facilities
Sewer
The project site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. The
existing area sewer facility system has sewer lines along Moss Street including an existing off-site
8" sewer main, along the frontage of the proposed project site. The Applicant will be required to
submit a final sewer study prior to connecting to the City's sewer system.
Emergency Services
The terminus of the private driveway will be a 90-ft hammerhead. The Fire Department has
reviewed the proposal and approved the proposed turn-around radius. A private fire hydrant will
be installed adjacent to the BBQ area in accordance with the requirement of the Fire Department.
Parks and Open Space
Pursuant to the City's Growth Management policy, there is a population ratio of three (3) acres
of neighborhood and community parkland with appropriate facilities to be provided per 1,000
residents east of I-805. For each project, Applicants are required to pay in-lieu park fees towards
a future park due to the increase in population that would occur on the site. Currently, there are
two parks nearby located near the Project site. Lauderbach Park is located .71 miles and
Harborside Park is located 1.31 miles southwest of the Project site.

Schools
The project is within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District, which serves
children Kindergarten through Grade 6. The nearest public school is Rice Elementary School,
which is 0.21 miles from the site. The project is also within the boundaries of the Sweetwater
Union High School District. The nearest public schools are Chula Vista Adult School, 0.22
miles, Bounce Back Independent Study High School, 0.24 miles, and Chula Vista High School,
0.37 miles north of the Project site. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable developer
fees based upon assessable area.

Staff has reviewed the decisions contemplated by this item and have determined that the actions
contemplated are not site specific and, consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code
of Regulations section 18704.2(a) is not applicable.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
The application fees and processing cost are paid for by the Applicant.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
Not applicable.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find,
determine, and resolve as follows:
II. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein, is in
conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following:
1. Land Use
The General Plan land use designation is Residential High (18-27 dwelling units per
gross acre). The implementing zone is R-3 Multi-Family Residential which allows up
to 32 dwelling units per net acre. The proposed 17-condominium subdivision will be
developed at a density of 28 dwelling units per gross acre, which is within the
allowable density and permitted number of dwelling units.
2. Circulation
All off-site public streets required to serve the subdivision already exist or will be
constructed or paid for by the Applicant in accordance with the Conditions of
Approval. The on-site public street is designed in accordance with the City design
standards and/or requirements and provides for vehicular and pedestrian connections.
8-12
City Council Resolution No. 2011-
Page 3
3. Public Facilities
The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and
services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those
services. There are no public service, facility, or phasing needs created by the Project
that warrants the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan, therefore this
requirement is waived.
4. Housing
The Project is consistent with the density prescribed within the Residential High
General Plan designation, and provides additional opportunities for multi-family
residential home ownership in the southwestern portion of the City.
5. Growth Mana ement
The surrounding street segments and intersections including Moss Street and Third
Avenue and Moss Street and Fourth Avenue will continue to operate at the same
Level of Service in compliance with the City's traffic threshold standard with the
proposed project traffic. No adverse impact to the City's traffic threshold standards
would occur as a result of the proposed project.
The Project site is located in the attendance area of Rice Elementary School, within
the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is also
within the attendance area of Del Rey High School, Chula Vista High School, and
Chula Vista Adult School, within the Sweetwater Union High School District. The
Applicant will be required to pay applicable developer fees based upon assessable
area.
The proposed drainage improvements for each building will drain storm water runoff
from the roof into a ribbon gutter to convey the surface runoff on the driveway into a
4' by 4' catch basin. A 24" reinforced concrete pipe then carries the runoff from the
said catch basin into the lowest point of the site situated on the northwest corner of
the parcel dissipated with rip rap.
The project site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater
services area. The existing area sewer facility system has sewer lines along Moss
Street including an existing off-site 8" sewer main, along the frontage of the proposed
project site. The Applicant will be required to submit a final sewer study prior to
connecting to the City's sewer system.
6. Open Space and Conservation
The project proposes multi-family homes that meet the minimum open space
requirement per the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The project would also be required
to pay in-lieu park fees towards the acquisition and development of future parks. The
8-13
City Council Resolution No. 2011-
Page 4
development of the site is consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation
Element.
7. Parks and Recreation
The proposed project would not induce significant population growth, as it is a small
residential infill project and would not impact existing or proposed recreational
facilities. The Project has been conditioned to pay park acquisition and development
fees prior to recordation of the Final Map.
8. Safety
The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed
subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the
proposal meets those standards.
9. Noise
The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the Noise Element and will
comply with applicable noise measures at the time of issuance of the building permit.
10. Scenic Highway
This Project Site is not located adjacent to or visible from a designated scenic
highway.
B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the
configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allows for the optimum siting of
lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities and that the development of
the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to ensure the maximum
utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities.
C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Council
certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the
region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents of
the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources.
D. The site is physically suited for residential development because it is generally level and
is located adjacent to existing residential developments. The Project conforms to all
standards established by the City for a residential development.
E. The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein
contained is approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created
by the proposed development.

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d)(1), NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 90
day period to protest the imposition of any impact fee, dedication, reservation, or other exaction
described in this resolution begins on the effective date of this resolution and any such protest
