Page 3
independent judgment of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista and thereby adopted the
Addendum to Otay Ranch SPA One FE1R 95-01.
V. INCORPORATION OF ALL MITIGATION MEASURES AND ALTERNATIVES

Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council finds that the Otay Ranch Village Five "Revised Tentative Subdivision Map (C.V.T. 96-

open space. The Project is also consistent with General Plan, Otay Ranch GDP, and Otay
Ranch SPA One Plan policies related to grading and landforms.
2. Circulation
All of the on-site and off-site public and private improvements required to serve the
subdivision are part of the project description or are conditioned consistent with the Otay
Ranch General Development Plan, and the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan. The Applicant

The Program EIR and FEIR's addressed the goals and policies of the Conservation
Element of the General Plan and found development of this site to be consistent with
these goals and policies. The Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan
requires conveyance of 1.18 acres of land to the Otay Ranch Preserve for every one-acre
of developed land prior to approval of any Final Map.

response times for fire and police services.
8. Public Facilities
The Applicant will provide all on-site and off-site streets, sewers and water facilities
necessary to serve this Project. The developer will also contribute to the Otay Water
District's improvement requirements to provide terminal water storage for this Project as
well as other major projects in the eastern territories.
9. Noise
The Project may include noise attenuation walls under review in an acoustic study
currently being prepared for the Project. In addition, all units are required to meet the
standards of the Uniform Building Code with regard to acceptable interior noise levels.
10. Scenic Highway
The roadway design provides wide landscaped buffers along Olympic Parkway the only
General Plan, GDP/SRP scenic highways adjacent to the Project.
11. Bicycle Route
The Project is required to provide on-site bicycle routes on East Palomar Street and

12. Public Buildings
Public buildings are not proposed on the Project site as part of the community purpose
facility locations. The Project is subject to appropriate residential fees prior to issuance
of building permits.
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.
VIII. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
A. THE PROPOSED OTAY RANCH VILLAGE FIVE REVISED TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP (C.V.T. 96-04B) IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OTAY RANCH
GDP/SRP, AND OTAY RANCH SPA ONE AMENDMENTS, AND IS IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Otay Ranch Village Five Revised Tentative Map (C.V.T. 96-04B) implements the
recently approved Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan Amendment, and reflects the
land uses, circulation system, open space and recreational uses consistent with the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan and Chula Vista General Plan.
B. THE PROPOSED OTAY RANCH VILLAGE FIVE, REVISED TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP (C.V.T. 96-04B) WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY
SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA.
The proposed Otay Ranch Village Five Revised Tentative Map (C.V.T. 96-04B)
implements the SPA One Plan amendment and SPA One Public Facilities Financing Plan
containing provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project.
C. THE PROPOSED OTAY RANCH VILLAGE FIVE, REVISED TENTATIVE
SUBDIVISION MAP (C.V.T. 96-04B) IMPLEMENTATION WILL NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT,
CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
The land uses within Otay Ranch are designed with an open space buffer adjacent to other
existing projects, and future developments off-site and within the Otay Ranch SPA One. A
comprehensive street network serves the Project and provides for access to off-site adjacent
properties. The proposed plan closely follows all existing environmental protection guidelines
and will avoid unacceptable off-site impacts through the provision of mitigation measures
specified in the Otay Ranch Environmental Impact Report(s).

submitted to the City of Chula Vista. The project manager shall establish a formal submittal
package required of each developer to ensure a high standard of design and to ensure
consistency with standards and policies identified in the adopted SPA Plan. The project
manager shall have a well-rounded educational background and experience, including but not
limited to land use planning and architecture.
103. If developer desires to do certain work on the property after approval of the tentative map
but prior to recordation of the applicable final "B" Map, they may do so by obtaining the
required approvals and permits from the City. The permits can be approved or denied by the
City in accordance with the City=s Municipal Code, regulations and policies. Said permits
do not constitute a guarantee that subsequent submittals (i.e., final "B" Map and
improvement plans) will be approved. All work performed by the developer prior to
approval of the applicable "B" Map shall be at the developers own risk. Prior to permit
issuance, the developer shall acknowledge in writing that subsequent submittals (i.e., final
"B" Map and improvement plans) may require extensive changes, at developers cost, to work
done under such early permit. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the developer shall post a
bond or other security acceptable to the City in an amount determined by the City to
guarantee the rehabilitation of the land if the applicable final "B" Map does not record.
PHASING
104. If phasing is proposed within an individual map or through multiple final maps, the
developer shall submit and obtain approval for a development phasing plan by the City -
Engineer and Director of Planning and Building prior to approval of any final map.
2O
Improvements, facilities and dedications to be provided with each phase or unit of
development shall be as determined by the City Engineer and Director of Planning and
Building. The City reserves the right to require said improvements, facilities and/or
dedications as necessary to provide adequate circulation and to meet the requirements of
police and fire departments. The City Engineer and Director of Planning and Building may,
at their discretion, modify the sequence of improvement construction should conditions
change to warrant such a revision. The developer agrees that the City Engineer may change
the timing of construction of the public facilities.
105. The Public Facility Finance Plan and all revisions thereto shall be adhered to for the SPA and
tentative map with improvements installed in accordance with said plan or as required to
meet threshold standards adopted by the City of Chula Vista. The PFFP identifies a facility
phasing plan based upon a set of assumptions concerning the location and rate of
development within and outside of the project area. Throughout the build-out of SPA One,
actual development may differ from the assumptions contained in the PFFP. Neither the
PFFP nor any other SPA One document grant the Applicant an entitlement to develop as
assumed in the PFFP, or limit the SPA One's facility improvement requirements to those
identified in the PFFP. Compliance with the City of Chula Vista threshold standards, based
on actual development patterns and UPdated forecasts in reliance on changing entitlements
and market conditions, shall govern SPA One development patterns and the facility
improvement requirements to serve such development. In addition, the sequence in which
improvements are constructed shall correspond to any future Chula Vista Transportation
Phasing Plan or amendment to the Growth Management Program and Ordinance adopted by
the City. The City Engineer may modify the sequence of improvement construction should
conditions change to warrant such a revision. The Otay Ranch SPA One PFFP, at the
Applicant's expense and subject to a Reimbursement Agreement, shall be updated no later
than six (6) months after the approval of a PFFP for the EastLake III GDP Area, and the
conclusions of such update, including without limitation, the nature, sizing, extent and timing
for the construction of public facilities caused by SPA One, shall become a condition for all
subsequent SPA One entitlements, including tentative and final maps. Developer agrees that
the City Engineer may change the timing of construction of the public facilities.
