V, GDP FINDINGS A. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AS DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE T - !Ill Resolution 18159 Page 3 The amended EastLake II (EastLake I Expansion) General Development Plan reflects land use distribution and densities, and circulation system that are consistent with all elements of the Chula Vista General Plan. B. A PLANNED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC USES OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLANS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONE. A SPA Plan has already been approved for the development of the planned community and amendments thereto conforming to the amended GDP are included in the Project. C. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND THAT IT WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH OR PROVIDE COMPATIBLE VARIETY TO THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA, AND THAT THE SITES PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES, SUCH AS SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS AND PARKS, ARE ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE ANTICIPATED POPULATION AND APPEAR ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. The residential densities and transfers reflected on the amended GDP are compatible with the pattern and character of development approved with the original GDP, and can be adequately served by the public facilities incorporated therein and therefore will constitute a residential environment of sustained durability and stability; and that it will be in harmony with or provide compatible variety to the character of the surrounding area, and that the sites proposed for public facilities, such as schools, playgrounds and parks, are adequate to serve the anticipated population and appear acceptable to the public authorities having jurisdiction thereof. D. ADOPTION OF AMENDED GDP. In light of the findings above, the amended EastLake II (EastLake I Expansion) General Development Plan is hereby approved and adopted in the form presented and attached hereto as Exhibit A. VI. SPA FINDINGS A. THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN AS AMENDED IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE EASTLAKE II (EASTLAKE I EXPANSION) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. The amended EastLake Greens Sectional Planning Area Plan reflects land use, circulation system, and public facilities that are consistent with the EastLake II (EastLake I Expansion) General Development Plan and the Chula Vista General Plan. Resolution 18159 Page 4 B, THE EASTLAKE GREENS SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA. The SPA Plan as amended is consistent with the amended phasing of internal and external infrastructure and consistent with the EastLake II (EastLake I Expansion) Public Facilities Financing Plan, Air Quality Improvement Plan, and Water Conservation Plan and will therefore, promote the orderly sequentialized development of the involved Sectional Planning Area. C. THE EASTLAKE GREENS SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN AS AMENDED WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION, OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. The land uses within the EastLake Greens SPA area represent the same uses approved by the EastLake II (EastLake I Expansion) General Development Plan and will not adversely affect adjacent land use, residential enjoyment, circulation, or environmental quality. D. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND OVER-ALL DESIGN FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED; THAT THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE. The amendments do not involve areas planned for industrial or research uses. E. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL , RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER SIMILAR NONRESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION AND OVER-ALL PLANNING TO THE PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FORM SUCH DEVELOPMENT. The relocation of the park parcels (Parcel P-3 and P-5) respond to final master plan refinements intended to improve the Planned Community's recreational facilities and add to the quality of living at EastLake and therefore, development will be appropriate in area, location and over-all planning to the purpose proposed and that surrounding areas are protected from any adverse effects from such development. F. THE STREET AND THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON. The amendments do not involve changes to the existing circulation system. G. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE Resolution 18159 Page 5 ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH PROPOSED LOCATION(S). The amendments do not involve areas planned for commercial uses. H. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID DEVELOPMENT. The amendments are consistent with the previously approved plans and regulations applicable to surrounding areas and therefore, said development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with said development. I. ADOPTION OF SPA In light of the findings above, the amended EastLake Greens Sectional Planning Area (SPA) plan and all subsidiary plans except the Public Facilities Financing Plan are hereby approved and adopted in the form presented and attached as Exhibit A.
