PART IV CARRYING OUT THE GENERAL PLAN SUBDIVISION AND ZONING CONTROLS TO INSURE ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES. New subdivisions will be developed in the now undeveloped portions of the Chula Vista Planning Area and zoning changes will be made in accor- dance with the General Plan adopted by the City of Chula Vista, which will create a substantial impact on existing public facilities, e.g., fire stations and schools. The character of the future City will be greatly affected by the quality of the subdivision and zoning ordi- nances, and the careful administration of the subdivision and zoning processes in order to implement this General Plan. The requirements for public facilities, in accordance with necessary and desirable levels of services, are required to satisfy needs in newly developed areas in accordance with standards and criteria adopted by the concerned local agencies. The requirement for establishing the fact of the existence of the adequacy of said facilities must be sat- isfied prior to any discretionary actions undertaken by the City of Chula Vista, including but not limited to, the enactment and amend- ment of the zoning ordinance, the issuance of zoning variances, the issuance of conditional use permits and the approval of tentative sub- division maps. In addition, said requirement must also be satisfied prior to non-discretionary or ministerial actions of the City of Chula Vista, including but not limited to, the issuance of building permits and the issuance of grading permits in those cases where the proposed development constitutes a significant impact on the services to be provided by schools or the City of Chula Vista.

Fz 'l/%/ s - '• ' RESOLUTION NO. 6140 ' RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA ESTABLISHING A COUNCIL POLICY TO INSUP.E THE ADEQUACY OF PUr~LIC FACILITIES IN NEWLY DEVELOPED AREAS The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby resolve as follows: WHEREAS, public facilities including fire stations, libraries and a police station as provided by the City, and school buildings provided by the school districts are available to serve the community needs within the fully developed areas of the City of Chula Vista and in smaller developments immediately contiguous thereto, which facilities have been constructed and maintained from taxes levied upon said developed areas, and WHEREAS, new patterns of growth and development on a scale either individually or in combination constituting whole new communities in the basically undeveloped areas surrounding the City are creating demands for such public facilities and services, and WHEREAS, said urbanization has often been accomplished without provision for the location and construction of such facilities thereby leaving the residents of such new developments without such facilties for unreasonable periods of time, and WHEREAS, the past failure to plan and program new facilities to serve such developments coupled with uncoordinated changes in land use has made it extremely difficult for the City and the school districts to provide necessary facilities and services to insure the health, safety and general welfare of the residents within such new developments, and WHEREAS, the imposition of the financial burden for the aqui- sition of sites for such needed public facilities and services upon the already limited resources of the municipality, as well as the short- sighted failure of planned inclusion of such sites within said areas proposed for development, now created a need f_or the establishment of a policy on the local level until some time as enabling legislation is adopted by the State of California to insure availability of public services concurrent with the habitation of properties in said largely undeveloped areas which are being rezoned or subdivided. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby establish the following policy: Before approving the subdivision or rezoning of any property, the City Council will require: 1. That the subdivision or rezoning not be in conflict with the General Plan and any other specific plans for the area which have been reviewed by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council. 2. That the development plan for the property in question shall include an implementation section which sets forth in detail measures which will be taken to insure that needed public services are provided concurrent with the need gene- rated by the development. - 1 - ~~~ ~i
