Amend Chapter 4, Land Use Element, as follows:
4.5 MIXED LAND USE OVERLAYS/DESIGNATIONS
Land use requirements of specified districts are designated through mixed land use overlays
or designations and further defined as follows. An overlay is applied where underlying land
use designations exist.
Mixed Land Use Overlay Areas
A mixture of specified land uses is encouraged, by use of precise planning, in the following
overlay areas of the general plan in order to further the city's objectives. An overlay is applied
where underlying land use designations exist.
1. Areas surrounding Town Centre I. Either Residential or Professional and Administrative
Office uses or a mixture of both are encouraged in this area, in order to foster urbanity,
townness, and an active support for retail uses on Third Avenue. These areas are
further defined in the Chula Vista Area Plan, Chapter 10.
2. Areas in proximity to the San Diego Trolley Station at E, H and Palomar Streets. A
mixture of land uses are recommended for these areas functionally linked to the transit
facilities in the most effective manner possible.
3. Areas adjacent to Broadway between Flower Street on the north and I Street on the
south. This area is further discussed in Chapter 10, Section 5.4.
4. Areas south of Orange Avenue and adjacent to the OTC site. These areas are intended
to be developed as a Community Activity Center to complement the OTC facility.
They are intended to have a unique, village character, influenced by their proximity to
the training center. Potential uses include: residential, visitor serving, retail and office
commercial; and, public/quasi-public.
5. Village Cores on the Otay Ranch Plan. These areas include a mixture of residential,
commercial, educational, and community serving uses, planned and designed as a
closely integrated whole. The residential densities within the Village Core are intended
to be Residential Medium-High (11-18 du/ac). The village cores will serve as focal
points for "villages", (as defined under the Residential Low-Medium (Village) plan
designation), and shall be designed to encourage mass transit and non-automotive
forms of transportation. Village cores are not intended to serve regional or city-wide
needs, and shall not be bisected by or physically oriented toward prime arterials or
major streets as identified in the Circulation Element.
A mixture of specified land uses are designated in the following areas as a result of unique
physical site characteristics or land use relationships depicted on the Land Use Diagram
(Figure 1-2) of the General Plan. Implementation of these mixed land use designations are
anticipated through the adoption of a General Development Plan, Specific Plan or equivalent
master plan.

1. Eastern Urban Center in the vicinity of the intersection of proposed State Route 125
and Orange Avenue. This area is designated for regional retail, professional and
administrative offices, and medium high and high density residential. A plan shall be
developed encompassing the entire site and related to the adjacent uses. This area is
further discussed in the Eastern Territories Area Plan, Chapter 14. (Moved from prior
section)
2. Specialty Conference Center on the Otay Ranch. This area consists of the existing
Birch Patrick Estate House and is intended to be used privately and publicly as a
conference center/community center,
3. Tidelands property in the Chula Vista bayfront area. A mixture of land uses are
recommended on Port District-controlled tideland property bounded generally on the
north by G Street, on the south by J Street, on the west by the San Diego Bay, and
on the east by the mean high tide line. To provide flexibility in master planning this
unique area, a broad range of land uses are envisioned including industrial, commercial,
professional, business service, and recreation uses and facilities. In addition, hotels,
restaurants, integrated meeting and conference space, specialized retail commercial,
and business-professional office uses would be allowed in a campus setting. To ensure
compatibility and continuity of land uses the City shall coordinate with the Port District
on master planning efforts for this area.
