City Council Record on Application WHEREAS, a hearing time and place was set by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista for consideration of the Project and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by both publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and mailing to property owners and residents within 500 feet of the exterior boundazies of the property at least ten (10) days prior to the heazing; and WHEREAS, on January 24, 2012, at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista held the duly noticed public hearing to consider said Project: said hearing was thereafter closed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby find, determine, and resolve as follows: IL TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS A. Pursuant to Governrnent 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 and Transportation The General Plan Designation for R-8a, R-8b, R-9b is Low Medium Density (3-6 DU/AC). The implementing zone is RM1. Lot size for these neighborhoods is governed through the Design Review Process. The implementing zone for R8a is SF3, which allows minimum lot area of 4,000 square feet and average lot area of 5,000 squaze feet. The proposed R-8a, R-8b, and R-9b, will be developed in combination with other surrounding developments in the LM land use azea and are, in combination, within the allowable density and permitted number of dwelling units. 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 streets are designed in accordance with the City design standards and/or requirements and provides for vehicular and pedestrian connections. Resolution No. 2012-013 10 9 g g Page 3 2. Economic Development The Project, when considered in conjunction with CVT 11-02, 11-03, andll-04, results in a net zero increase in units within Village 2, while providing a previously unavailable, single-family, small lot product in a more compact format, which will be located within walking distance of the village core. The four and six-unit compact products support economic policies regazding the pursuit and provision of diverse housing types and costs in order to provide balance for housing opportunities as well as jobs. These compact clustered single-family products provide a wider range of housing options and pricing for potential home-buyers in the current housing mazket. By reallocating 113 units and increasing densities close to the village core, it can be anticipated that there will be increased patronage to the neazby commercial and public/quasi-public uses, which will contribute to greater economic development within Village 2 and the City. The Project allows the development of detached small lot single-family homes on sepazate, fee-simple lots. This housing type is reflective of greater demand for these products in today's economic environment. The four- and six- unit cluster design azound a central auto/activity court provides a housing type that is new to Village 2, and specifically designed to align with today's mazketplace and economic conditions. The Project provides home-buyers the opportunity to purchase detached, single- family homes with greater affordability, reduced maintenance/utility costs, and less dependency on the automobile. As a new housing type within Otay Ranch, the proposed homes also provide further vaziation in housing opportunities available to Chula Vista residents, consistent with General Plan Objective ED 2. The proposed project also fosters economic development at the community level by providing for increased housing densities within the same footprint. These increased densities allow for infrastructure and municipal services to be provided at reduced cost per capita (more people served by the same municipal services). Additionally, with increased housing (and population) within the same footprint, increased densities improve the viability of community serving commercial and public/quasi public uses as well as alternative transportation modes. As a result, the proposed project may serve as a catalyst for small and mid-sized industries and businesses and community-serving and neighborhood uses, consistent with Objective ED 3 and ED 9. 3. Public Facilities and Services/Drainage and Water Oualitv The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the Project contemporaneous with the demand for those services. A Public Facilities Financing Plan has been prepared to supplement that which is already in place to define public service, facility, and phasing needs created by the Project. 1099 Resolution No. 2012-013 Page 4 Project-level water quality technical reports were completed for the proposed project and aze included as Appendix A of the Initial Study (Hunsaker and Associates 2011a,b). The water quality technical reports outline three options for achieving the water quality treatment and hydromodification requirements of the City of Chula Vista. One of the three options would be implemented and approved by the City Engineer. The proposed unit transfers would continue to comply with all applicable rules and regulations, including compliance with NPDES permit requirements for urban runoff and storm water dischazge. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for design, treatment and monitoring for storm water quality would be implemented as delineated in the EIR with respect to municipal and construction permits. Compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing water quality as well as implementation of all mitigation measures outlined in Section 5.9 of the EIR and the measures outlined in the water quality technical reports (Hunsaker and Associates 2011a,b) would ensure no additional impacts to water quality beyond those previously analyzed. Project-specific analyses have been conducted relative to the project's potential sewer and water impacts. The proposed project would reduce average projected water demands by 38,800 gallons per day (gpd). This reduction is due to an increase in density (greater than 8 units per acre), resulting in a reduced water demand per unit. As such, the water system recommendations from the May 2006 Subazea Master Plan for Village 2 remain unchanged as a result of this project. Additionally, while the total projected sewage flows will not change as a result of the proposed project, the project does involve shifting 83 units from the Wolf Canyon Basin to the Poggi Basin, which results in a shift of 21,995 gpd from the Wolf Canyon Basin to the Poggi Basin. The proposed project, however, would not require additional reaches of the Poggi Canyon Interceptor to be upgraded in the future. Upon approval of the proposed project, the Development Impact Fee for the Poggi Basin would be updated to reflect the additional units. 4. Environmental Element The Project has been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of CEQA. An Addendum has been prepazed for the project in order to address the proposed modifications to the lot configurations within Village Two from the adopted Final Second Tier Environmental Impact Report, Otay Ranch Villages Two, Three, and a Portion of Village Four Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, FEIR 02-02. The proposed modifications would not result in an increase in overall unit count, and would not substantially change traffic generation or distribution patterns. No additional significant impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the EIR, or substantial increases in any identified significant impacts aze anticipated; however, the proposed modification represents new information that was not available at the time that the EIR was certified. Therefore, the Addendum and the Mitigation Monitoring Program ensures that all environmental impacts will be mitigated to a level less than significant. Resolution No. 2012-013 110 0 0 Page 5 5. Growth Mana e¢ meet Due to the Project's `no net change to number of dwelling units', the surrounding street segments and intersections as planned or built, including Olympic Parkway and Santa Victoria Road, will continue to operate/serve 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 Hedenkamp Elementary School, within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is also within the attendance area of Otay Ranch High School and Olympian High School, within the Sweetwater Union High School District. The Applicant will be required to pay applicable developer fees based upon assessable area. 6. Onen Space and Conservation The Project proposes single-family homes that meet the minimum open space requirement per the Otay Ranch Village 2 SPA. The project would also be required to provide parkland or pay park fees towards the acquisition and development of future parks. The proposed landform grading conforms to the City's grading Ordinance and retains regional and natural open space features. The development of the site is consistent with the goals and policies of the Conservation Element. B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.] of the Subdivision Map Act, the configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allow for the optimum siting of lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities. The development of the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to insure 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. 11001 Resolution No. 2012-013 Page 6 III. GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66020 NOTICE Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d)(l), 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 must be in a manner that complies with Section 66020(a) and failure to follow timely this procedure will bar any subsequent legal action to attack, set aside, void or annual imposition.
