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
standazds and/or requirements and provides for vehicular and pedestrian connections.
Resolution No. 2011-189
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 prepazation 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 eg ment
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 standazd 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 azea of Rice Elementary School, within
the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is also
within the attendance azea 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 comer 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 azea 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
development of the site is consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation
Element.
Resolution No. 2011-189
Page 4
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. Safe
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.
] 0. 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 azchitectural 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
standazds 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.
Resolution No. 2011-189
