FINDINGS
The amendment to the PHASE 2 RMP is consistent with the General Plan and the General
Development Plan for the following reasons:
1. The land area exchanged produces a superior biological open preserve in that the area
in Poggi canyon is surrounded by development and not connected to a larger open
system.
2. The area north and south of the Lower Otay Reservoir, on which development rights
are being deleted, is adjacent to a larger open space system; and
3. The Wildlife Agencies have determined that amendments to the implementation
standards for Coastal sage scrub are acceptable,
APPROVAL OF AMENDED PHASE 2 RMP
The City Council hereby approves the amended PHASE 2 RMP for the Otay Ranch as
set forth in Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by this reference..
