5.14 Housing and Population
This section describes the existing conditions in the project vicinity, and growth projections for Village 8
West and the surrounding area, and evaluates the potential for impacts to housing and population due
to implementation of the project.
As stated in Section 2.3, Purpose and Legal Authority, this EIR tiers from the 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR (09-
01). The SEIR addressed the GPA/GDPA development’s growth-inducing effect on population, housing,
and employment opportunities, and determined that implementation of the land uses proposed in the
GPA/GDPA would not result in significant growth inducement. The analysis and discussion of population
and housing issues contained in the 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR is incorporated by reference.
5.14.1 Existing Conditions
A. Regulatory Framework
1. Regional
a. SANDAG Regional Comprehensive Plan
SANDAG’s RCP provides a growth management strategy for the region. In accordance with smart growth
principles, the overall goal of the RCP is to strengthen the integration of local and regional land use,
transportation, and natural resource planning. As stated in the RCP’s Regional Housing Element, new
housing should be located within already urbanized communities close to jobs and transit in order “to
help conserve open space and rural areas, reinvigorate existing neighborhoods, and lessen long
commutes” (SANDAG 2004).
In addition to stating the need for applying smart growth strategies in the location and development of
new housing, the RCP’s Regional Housing Element also includes the goal to provide more housing
choices in all price ranges. The RCP states that homes need to be affordable to persons of all income
levels and accessible to persons of all ages and abilities.
b. Regional Housing Needs Assessment
Based on a methodology that weighs a number of factors (i.e., projected population growth,
employment, commute patterns, and available sites), SANDAG determined quantifiable needs for
housing units in the region according to various income categories. In its final Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) figures, SANDAG allocated 12,861 housing units to the Chula Vista area for the
2010-2020 Housing Element Cycle, including 5,648 housing units for very low and low-income
households (City of Chula Vista 2011). Since January 1, 2010, Chula Vista has produced a total of 1,546
new units, including 155 low and very low-income housing units. The City anticipated that its remaining
development capacity would exceed the RHNA for Chula Vista. The City of Chula Vista anticipates that
much of the new construction will result from building out the master planned communities in the East
Planning Area, such as Otay Ranch, infill development, and mixed-use development.

2. Local
a. Chula Vista General Plan
The Chula Vista General Plan divides the city into three planning areas: 1) the Southwest Planning Area,
2) the Northwest Planning Area, and 3) the East Planning Area. Within the East Planning Area, Village 8
West is located within the Central Otay Ranch District. The vision for the district in the General Plan is a
mixture of land uses and intensities that includes a large community park; a pedestrian-oriented mixed-
use town center; single-family and multi-family residential uses surrounding a typical village core; and a
middle school.
Town center arterials in the form of couplets or other pedestrian-oriented arterial street design would
be located along portions of La Media Road and Main Street, where Villages 4, 7, and 8 West meet.
The intent of the General Plan is to meet housing demand, instead of “exporting” housing demand to
neighboring regions. Therefore, the efforts of the Chula Vista General Plan to add mixed use and higher
densities is consistent with the intent of the SANDAG RCP, which encourages local jurisdictions to add
housing capacity to their general plans. The Chula Vista General Plan also incorporates a Housing
Element (adopted October 24, 2006) that identifies strategies for expanding housing opportunities for
the city’s various economic segments. Under the Housing Element, the provision of new housing
opportunities within mixed-use areas and at higher density levels, particularly transit focus areas, is
encouraged. A primary issue of the Housing Element is the shortfall of housing, particularly affordable
housing, in Chula Vista and the region. To address this issue, the Housing Element requires that
residential developments with fifty or more dwelling units provide 10 percent of total units for low and
moderate-income households, with at least half of those (five percent) designated for low-income
households.
The General Plan Housing Element includes objectives and policies to minimize impacts on housing
choice that result from conversion or demolition of rental housing units (Objective H 4); encourage the
provision of a wide range of housing choices (Objectives H 5 and H 6); facilitate affordable housing for
lower and moderate-income households (Objective H 7); and ensure the availability of housing
opportunities to persons regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion, sex, disability,
marital status, and familial status, source of income or sexual orientation (Objective H 8).
b. Otay Ranch General Development Plan
The Otay Ranch GDP established a 5-year objective that requires each village to proportionately assist
the City to meet or exceed its 5-year regional allocation as described in the Chula Vista Housing Element.
The Otay Ranch GDP requires that prior to or concurrent with the approval of a SPA plan, a housing plan
shall be approved that addresses the type and location of housing to be provided pursuant to the
regional share allocation. Relevant policies associated with this objective include the following:
■ Objective: Each Otay Ranch Village will proportionately assist the appropriate land use
jurisdiction to meet or exceed Otay Ranch's share of the 5-year regional share allocation as
provided by each jurisdiction's Housing Element.
■ Policies:
Encourage each "Urban Village" to offer a variety of housing types, densities and prices
which will enable affordability within each income group under the regional share.

Encourage housing opportunities for very low, low and moderate-income households, and
the dispersal of such housing among Otay Ranch villages to promote a balanced community.
Support the exploration and use of innovative and alternate building technologies and
materials which reduce costs, increase affordability, and address environmental issues such
as energy and water conservation, air quality improvements and recycling.
c. Otay Land Company Affordable Housing Program
The OLC Affordable Housing Program determines the allocation of affordable housing units to each area
of Otay Ranch. The City of Chula Vista requires that ten percent of proposed dwelling units be
affordable. Five percent of those units must be affordable to households earning at or below moderate
income (80 percent to 120 percent of the San Diego area median income) and the remaining five
percent of those units must be affordable to households earning at or below low Income (combined
incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the San Diego area median income). The median income is
adjusted annually. The OLC Affordable Housing Program Implementation Plan for Village 8 West assigns
Village 8 West an obligation of providing approximately 200 affordable housing units.
B. Existing Population and Housing
Village 8 West has been used in the past for agricultural purposes, specifically cattle grazing and dry
farming including barley, wheat, and oat hay (Gallegos & Associates 2009). Village 8 West has not been
formerly, nor is currently, occupied with residential uses. The following discussion focuses on projected
population and housing growth in the San Diego region, the city of Chula Vista, and Otay Ranch.
1. Regional Setting
Trends important to determining future population growth in the San Diego region include birth and
death rates, domestic and international migration, and major economic indicators such as proposed
major new employment centers or a closure or expansion of a military base. In October 2011, the
SANDAG Board of Directors adopted the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast, which incorporates data from
the 2000 U.S. Census and the SANDAG Demographic and Economic Forecasting Model. The purpose of
the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast is to provide a starting point for regional planning, specifically the
2050 Regional Transportation Plan. Table 5.14-1 presents the change in population for both the
incorporated cities and unincorporated areas of San Diego County from 2008 to 2050 based on the 2050
Regional Growth Forecast. Although the region’s population will grow by over a million people over the
forecast period, the rate of growth is slowing compared to the previous 40 years. The updated growth
forecasts take into account the recent economic recession and reflect more current market conditions
than the previous growth forecasts.

The region as a whole is anticipated to grow by 40 percent over the 42-year period. Table 5.14-1
indicates that the growth rates are similar between the unincorporated and incorporated areas of the
county. The incorporated cities, including Chula Vista, would accommodate the largest amount of
population growth over the forecast period; however, the unincorporated area would experience a
slightly higher growth rate compared to the region due to its relatively low existing population.
a. Employment and Housing
The forecast of total jobs for the region is shown in Table 5.14-2. The region is expected to add 501,958
jobs over the forecast period, a 33 percent increase. Similar to population forecasts, the incorporated
cities account for the largest share of employment growth, accounting for approximately 90 percent of
the total increase in jobs; however, the growth rate is higher in the unincorporated area.

The projected distribution of new housing units from 2008 to 2050 is shown in Table 5.14-2. Similar to
population and job forecasts, the incorporated cities account for the largest share of housing growth.
Comparing housing forecast to the job forecast, also shown in Table 5.14-2, the increase in jobs is
greater than the increase in housing in the incorporated cities and the region as a whole. The jobs to
housing ratio is slightly higher in the incorporated cities compared to the region as a whole because
housing growth would be greater than job growth in the unincorporated area.
SANDAG anticipates that approximately 50 percent of regional future job and housing growth would be
in the smart growth opportunity areas, such as Otay Ranch. In addition, this forecast projects that more
than 70 percent of future job and housing growth will likely occur within the transit investment areas,
defined as the areas with highest priority for future transit investments. The Otay Ranch area is
identified as a transit priority area in the 2050 Regional Growth Forecast Update. Therefore, regional
forecasts anticipate intensified development in the smart growth areas, such as Village 8 West,
compared to the region as a whole.

a. Population
Table 5.14-3 compares population growth in Chula Vista to the other surrounding south bay cities of
Imperial Beach and National City, and the San Diego region based on the 2050 Regional Growth
Forecast. Between 2008 and 2050, Chula Vista is anticipated to grow at a similar pace (43 percent) as
the region (40 percent), a faster pace than Imperial Beach (30 percent), and a slower pace than National
City (64 percent). The updated SANDAG projection is similar to the population projection used in the
Chula Vista General Plan.

b. Employment and Housing
The forecast of total employment for the region and south bay cities is shown in Table 5.14-4. The
region is expected to add about 501,958 jobs over the forecast period, a 33 percent increase. Chula Vista
is projected to absorb the largest amount of this growth, increasing by 73 percent. Imperial Beach and
National City would accommodate a similar percent increase as the region. As described above, SANDAG
anticipates that approximately 50 percent of regional future job and housing growth would occur in the
smart growth opportunity areas.
Table 5.14-4 shows the housing forecast for the region and south bay cities from 2008 to 2050. Chula
Vista would experience more housing growth than the region as a whole; however, National City shows
the largest projected increase in total housing units among the south bay cities (56 percent), and a faster
growth rate compared to the region. The jobs to housing ratio in Chula Vista is expected to be slightly
lower than the region, but would still be greater than one job per house. Imperial Beach would have a
lower jobs-to-housing ratio than the region, less than one job per house, and National City would have a
higher jobs-to-housing ratio compared to the region.
3. Otay Ranch
a. Population
Build out of the entire Otay Ranch GDP will result in an additional estimated population of 86,245
persons (Otay Ranch Joint Planning Project 2005). The projected resident population of Village 8 West is
5,737 persons, based on a population generation factor of 2.58 persons per household for multi-family
residential units and 3.3 persons per household for single-family residential units. The population for
each phase of Village 8 West is provided in Table 5.14-5, based on these population generation factors.

b. Employment
The Otay Ranch GDP proposes several major regional employment areas in the GDP area including the
EUC, RTP, and the University site. Additionally, the town centers would provide local employment
centers that would provide a balance between jobs and housing in the Otay Ranch area. Resident-
serving commercial and retail uses permitted throughout the Otay Ranch area would provide additional
employment opportunities near homes.

c. Housing
The Otay Ranch GDP proposes a variety of single-family and multi-family residences. The 2013
GPA/GDPA included an additional 880 housing units beyond housing projections accounted for in the
2005 General Plan, including 494 in Village 8 West. The Otay Ranch GDP, as amended, projects a total of
2,050 new homes in Village 8 West.
5.14.2 Thresholds of Significance
According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, impacts to housing and population would be
significant if the project would:
■ Threshold 1: Displace substantial numbers of existing housing or people, necessitating the
construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
■ Threshold 2: Be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and policies regarding
housing and population thereby resulting in a significant physical impact.
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines also states that impacts to housing and population would be
significant, if the project induced substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly.
Growth inducement is discussed in Chapter 7, Growth Inducement.
5.14.3 Impact Analysis
A. Threshold 1: Displace substantial numbers of existing households or people,
necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.
Village 8 West is currently undeveloped; no existing or former residential uses occupy the site. As such,
the project would not displace any existing households or people, or necessitate the construction of
replacement housing elsewhere. Pursuant to state law, the Chula Vista General Plan Housing Element
addresses the housing needs of the community. Consistent with those needs, the Housing Element
identifies objectives, policies and related action programs pertaining to the provision of a ffordable
housing. The Village 8 West SPA and TM would be subject to the requirements of the Chula Vista
Affordable Housing Program, which requires the SPA Plan and TM to provide a minimum of ten percent
of the total residential units as low and moderate-income housing. The affordable housing program has
assigned an obligation of approximatley 200 affordable units to Village 8 West. The SPA Plan includes an
Affordable Housing Plan to meet this requirement. High-density housing in the Town Center and
accessory second units, allowed throughout the site provide opportunities for affordable housing.
Therefore, the project would have no impact associated with displacement of households or people.
B. Threshold 2: Be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and
policies regarding housing and population thereby resulting in a significant
physical impact.
Table 5.14-6 compares the project to applicable housing policies of the General Plan and Table 5.14-7
evaluates the project’s consistency with applicable GDP policies. As shown in these tables, the project
would be consistent with all applicable General Plan and GDP policies.

Applicable Policies Evaluation of Consistency
Objective H 4: Minimize impacts on housing choice within each of
the four geographic planning areas, especially to very low-and
low-income residents, that result from conversion or demolition
of rental housing units.
Policy H 4.1: Promote an equitable distribution of housing types
(e.g., multi-family rental and owner occupied housing) based
upon identified needs within the northwest, southwest, and east
planning areas to provide a range of housing opportunities for all
income levels.
Consistent. The SPA Plan is consistent with this General Plan
policy. The Chula Vista General Plan Housing Element addresses
housing needs citywide. The city’s housing division monitors and
ensures that housing opportunities for all income levels are
provided. The SPA Plan includes an Affordable Housing Plan that
will be reviewed and approved by the city prior to approval of the
SPA. The SPA Plan includes a variety of housing types, including
single-family attached and detached, and multi-family residential
uses, to provide housing opportunities for all income levels.
Objective H 5: Encourage the provision of a wide range of
housing choices by location, type of unit, and price level, in
particular the establishment of permanent affordable housing for
low-and moderate-income households.
Policy H 5.1: Balanced Communities-Affordable Housing: Require
newly constructed residential developments to provide a portion
of their development affordable to low-and moderate-income
households.
Policy H 5.2: Encourage the development of sufficient and
suitable new rental housing opportunities within each of the
city’s four geographic planning areas, particularly for very low-
and low-income households.
Consistent. The SPA Plan is consistent with these policies. The
city’s affordable housing policy requires that ten percent of the
total residential units be provided at affordable levels. An
affordable housing program has been prepared for Village 8 West
to meet this requirement, and identifies that the obligations are
met through a combination of rental and for-sale housing, in
compliance with affordability criteria as defined in the state,
federal and city codes and policies. The Village 8 West Affordable
Housing Plan will be reviewed and approved by the city prior to
approval of the SPA Plan. The SPA Plan also includes a wide range
of housing choices for a variety of age groups and income levels.
The SPA Plan includes opportunities for new rental housing,
including high-density residential land use in the Town Center
and second dwelling units on lots greater than 4,000 square feet.
Objective H 6: Promote the development of a variety of housing
choices, coupled with appropriate services, to meet the needs of
special population groups, including the homeless, those at-risk
of becoming homeless, persons with physical and/or
development disabilities, emancipated foster youth, students,
athletes at the Olympic Training Center, single-parent
households, farmworkers and seniors.
Policy H 6.2: Encourage the development of alternative housing
types in locations with easy access to goods, services,
transportation, recreation and other appropriate services to
accommodate the special needs of seniors, persons with
disabilities, emancipated foster youth, students, athletes, and
single person households.
Consistent. The SPA Plan is consistent with this General Plan
policy. The Affordable Housing Plan identifies all areas of Village 8
West as suitable for affordable housing but encourages
consideration of proximity and availability of amenities. Village 8
West will further provide housing for all levels of the population,
as discussed under Objective H 4 and Objective H 5, and would be
designed to meet ADA requirements in accordance with law.
Objective H 7: Facilitate the creation, maintenance, preservation
and conservation of affordable housing for lower and moderate-
income households through comprehensive planning documents
and processes, and the provision of financial assistance and other
incentives.
Policy H 7.1: Ensure Chula Vista’s plans and policies addressing
housing, such as the zoning ordinance, sectional planning area
plans, and specific plans, encourage a variety of housing product
that responds to variations in income level, the changing live-
work patterns of residents and the needs of the city’s diverse
population.
Consistent. The SPA Plan is consistent with this General Plan
policy. The development of Village 8 West would respond to
market conditions. The Affordable Housing Plan provides
compliance with the balanced communities policy for affordable
units and will have access to financial incentives and other
assistance as provided for in the General Plan Housing Element
and the city’s inclusionary housing policies.
Objective H 8: Ensure the availability of housing opportunities to
persons regardless of race, color, ancestry, national origin,
religion, sex, disability, marital status, and familial status, source
of income or sexual orientation.
Policy H 8.1: Ensure equal housing opportunities to prevent
housing discrimination in the local housing market.
Consistent. The SPA Plan is consistent with this General Plan
policy. The Affordable Housing Plan for Village 8 West provides a
marketing plan to the city for proactive marketing of the low and
moderate-income housing units. All development in Village 8
West must comply with local, state and federal fair housing laws.

Part II, Chapter 1, Section D: Land Use Design, Character, and Policies, 1a. Village/Town Center Land Use Policies
Goal: Organize land uses based upon the village/town center
concept to produce a cohesive, pedestrian friendly
community. Encourage non-vehicular trips and foster
interaction amongst residents.
Policy: Include a variety of uses and housing types within each
village to meet the needs of residents.
Policy: Accessory units are permitted on single-family lots
within Villages 1 through 11, consistent with the provisions of
Chapter 3, Housing.
Consistent. Proposed residential land uses within the SPA Plan
area include a wide range of densities and formats within
multi-family and single-family residential uses which will
accommodate a variety of housing types to meet the needs of
all potential residents. Accessory units are a permitted use in
the SPA Plan.
Part II, Chapter 3 – Housing, Section B, Balanced Community
Goal: Create a balanced community exemplified by the
provision of a diverse range of housing styles, tenancy types
and prices.
Objective: Provide a variety of housing opportunities
sufficient to meet a proportionate share of the Regional
Share allocation of housing.
Objective: Each Otay Ranch Village will proportionately assist
the appropriate land use jurisdiction to meet or exceed Otay
Ranch’s share of the 5-year regional share allocation as
provided by each jurisdiction’s housing element.
Consistent. The SPA Plan provides a wide variety of housing
types, including affordable housing. Proposed housing
includes apartments, townhomes, condominiums, attached
housing (duplexes and/or triplexes), small lot single-family,
and conventional lot single-family residential. The SPA Plan
includes an Affordable Housing Plan to ensure that ten
percent of units in the SPA would be affordable units. High-
density development and accessory units would provide
opportunities for affordable housing.
Part II, Chapter 3 – Housing, Section B, Fair Housing and Special Housing Needs
Goal: The provision of sufficient housing opportunities for
persons of all economic, ethnic, religious and age groups, as
well as those with special needs such as the handicapped,
elderly, single parent families and the homeless.
Objective: Ensure that the Otay Ranch provides housing
opportunities sufficient to meet a proportionate share of
identified special housing needs, and applies fair housing
practices for all needs groups in the sale, rental, and
advertising of housing units.
Policy: Ensure compliance with all state and federal statutes
regarding barrier free environments and elimination of racial,
age, religious, sexual and economic bias and discrimination in
housing sales, rental, advertising and lending practices.
Policy: Include an adequate amount of land designated for
community purpose facilities within Otay Ranch to provide for
the location of facilities to shelter the homeless.
Consistent. Village 8 West would contain a wide variety of
housing types ranging in density from low-medium to high.
The variety of housing types would accommodate families,
singles, and those with special housing needs, including the
handicapped and the elderly. The project is required to meet
all California handicap accessibility requirements. Fair housing
practices would be employed in the sale, rental, and
