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

Engineer and Director of Planning prior to approval of any final map. Improvements, facilities

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 Eastern 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.
