CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF June 13, 1972
Item Title: Resolution - Approving the tentative map of a subdivision to be known
as Candlewood Subdivision
Initiated by: Director of Planning
Attached is a copy of Resolution Q~] Ordinance
[ ] Agre emen t [ ] P 1 at [ ]
Background:
At the meeting of May 2, 1972 the City Council received a recommendation from the
Planning Commission that the proposed tentative map of Candlewood Subdivision be
approved. The property involved contains approximately 40 acres; the proposed map
has approximately 113 single family lots on about 25 of those acres. Approximately
15 acres would have been left in some form of open space for acquisition by the
City.
Consideration of this map was deferred to a Council Conference held on May 10, during
which the Council discussed with the staff and the subdivider various methods of
acquiring this land and possible revisions to the map. Subsequent to this conference
the subdivider has met several times with the staff and proposed two revisions to the
map which would reduce both the amount of open space and the cost of acquisition.
The subdivider's alternate No. 1 provides approximately 12.9 acres of open space at a
net cost to the City of $32,055. He also proposed an alternate which would provide
11.3 acres of open space at a net cost of $12,313.
The staff is now recommending that the City Council approve the tentative map as
revised in alternate No. 1. The staff had originally objected to various improvement
costs that had been delineated by the subdivider, but upon further examination we have
determined that these costs could reasonably be charged to the City since the Park
Land Dedication Ordinance fee includes the cost of such improvements. Based upon
our calculations, sufficient fees will be generated within this park service district
to reimburse the City for the $32,000 that would have to be expended at this time.
Since Mr. Shattuck is out of town at this time I have been unable to confirm his
earlier statement that he would reserve this acreage until July 1, 1973 if that is
our desire. Of course, the sooner we acquire the property the lower our costs will
be.

The Honorable Mayor and City Council
of the City of Chula Vista
Civic Center
Chula Vista, California
Subject: Tentative map of Candlewood Subdivision
At the meeting of April 24, 1972, the City Planning Commission
considered the tentative subdivision map of Candlewood located
directly west of E1 Rancho del Rey Unit No. 1. The subdivision
map contains 40 acres consisting of 113 lots for single family
development and approximately 14.2 acres for park and open space.
The Commission recommends approval of the tentative map subject
to the following conditions:
1. The subdivider shall comply with City Council Resolution 6140
concerning the availability of public facilities prior to submission'
of a final map to the City Council.
2. The toe of slope abutting the proposed park area shall be rounded
to blend with existing natural grade. Extension shall be not less
than 5' in horizontal distance from the theoretical hinge point of
the slope.
3. Slope planting shall conform to the following standards and
requirements:
a. Complete landscaping and irrigation plans with related
specifications including construction techniques, maintenance,
and guarantees, shall be submitted and approved by the City's
Landscape Planner prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
b. All landscaping and irrigation systems shall be installed
within 30 days after grading is completed except that the
requirement shall be postponed for any lots that have been
issued building permits until 30 days after final inspection.
In cases of partial development, the developer may request in
writing to the Zoning Administrator, within fifteen days after
grading is completed, for deferral for all or part of the
remaining areas. The developer shall show just cause for such
,~.

deferral and shall indicate the estimated time of completion of

and irrigation the developer shall guarantee the installation for
a period of one year, during the first 90 days of such guarantee
the developer shall actively maintain the lands.
d. Planting standards, soil preparation, fertilization, and weed
control shall be in conformance with the City of Chula Vista Land-
scape Manual.
e. Slopes less than six feet (6') in vertical height shall utilize
fine leaf ice plant, such as mesembriantheum croceum or rosea. Sub-
stitutes or alternatives may be considered by the City's Landscape
Planner subject to the submission of complete specifications. Plant
cuttings shall be tip cuttings and not lateral cuttings and not less
than six inches (6") in length. Cuttings shall be staggered and
spaced a maximum of twelve inches (12") on center. On 12:1 slopes,
ground cover shall be planted eight inches (8") on center.
f. Slopes of six feet (6') or greater in vertical height shall
utilize planting as provided in paragraph (e) and slopes 12:1 or
steeper shall be covered with jute matting. Specifications shall
be submitted and approved by the City's Landscape Planner. These
specifications shall specify length of wire staples or other fasten-
ing device, amount of overlap, and other pertinent details to insure
proper installation in a workmanship manner. Substitutes for jute
matting may be considered and approved by the Landscape Planner.
g. Slopes greater than ten feet (10') in vertical height shall be
planted, in addition to the requirements listed in paragraphs (e)
and (f) above, with one shrub or tree (minimum 1 gal.) per 100 square
feet of slope area. These shrubs or trees are to be selected by a
Landscape Architect for aesthetic value as well as deep rooting
qualities.
h. All slopes in excess of 10' in height shall be irrigated by
a sprinkler system controlled by a valve located on the lot to be
sprinkled.
4. Slope contours near the southeast corner, below the bike path, shall
have a minimum 50' radius horizontal curve with the break in direction
of the original ground contour.
5. A five foot (5') high decorative block wall shall be constructed at
top of slope on Lots 59-63 as required by the Subdivision Ordinance;
design shall be subject to Planning Director's approval. Note: Since
this road will extend approximately 2 miles through the E1 Rancho del Rey
area, it will be desirable to provide a continuity of design throughout
the entire distance even though there is more than one owner developing
property abutting the road.
