EastLake I SPA
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Director pl� (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIENED BY: City Manager
This item involves the consideration of the EastLake I Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) Plan and related items for a 892 acre project. The project represents
the first phase of development of the Janal Ranch which contains 3,073 acres.
The first phase was annexed to the City in August of 1983.
The EastLake I SPA Plan covers a smaller area (892 acres) than the 1 ,267.9
acres addressed in the EastLake I 6eneral Development Plan. The EastLake I
SPA Plan does not include the area south of Telegraph Canyon Road (currently
named Otay Lakes Road). This area will be addressed in a supplemental SPA
Plan at a later time (375.8 acres and 1 ,299 du) . Thus, this project consists
of 892 acres and proposes 2,384 dwelling units. The Environmental Impact
Report for the items described herein was certified by the City Council on
January 29, 1985.
RECOIR�NDATION: Approve the EastLake I Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan
(subject to the Conditions of Approval listed in Section 4) and the Public
Facilities and Financing Plan and Development Agreement (Findings contained in
Attachment 1 ) .
BOARDS/COMIISSIONS RECOhQ4ENDATION: The Planning Commission is scheduled to
consider the map on February 13, 1985, therefore their recommendation will be
forwarded to Council in a separate letter.
DISCUSSION:
l . EASTLAKE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA ( SPA) PLAN
The General Development Plan and text requires the preparation and
approval of a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan before subdivision maps
and site plans are considered. The purpose of the SPA Plan is to provide
a more specific plan for the development of a planned community which, due
to its size or complexity cannot be subdivided and built in its entirety
at one time.
A second purpose of the SPA Plan is to provide the planning framework
(land use, density, open space, circulation, public facilities, and design
policy) to guide the preparation of individual project plans. Many
Page 2, Item 5A
Meeting Date 2/19/85
building firms will De carrying out specific projects within EastLake I at
different times over the next several years. The SPA Plan will ensure
that individual projects will be consistent with the purpose and intent
set forth in the SPA Plan.
The SPA Plan is a surtonary prepared by the City based on an extensive
amount of research submitted by the EastLake Development Company.
Substantial refinements were made by the City and other public agencies.
Once adopted by the City Council , the SPA Plan establishes the basic
design, land use allocations and development guidelines for the project.
Plan Structure
EastLake is intended to be a balanced community with a broad range of
housing types and prices plus an employment park and village center. The
structure of the cormnunity is organized into four residential
neighborhoods with connecting open space, parks and trails. The high
activity nodes are located on the east side of future Route 125 and the
residential areas are located on the west side. Each of the four
neighborhoods contains a major focal point such as elementary school/park,
lake/beach club or water feature.
Low density residential is located on the north side of "H" Street and
moderately higher densities are located on the south side of "H" Street.
The Village Center will contain mixed uses such as retail , office, senior
citizen residential , apartments and public facilities. The employment
park is planned to have principally high tech firms located around the
nine (9) acre park and a variety of non-high tech and multi-tenant uses on
the peri phery.
Transportation System
The initial access to the industrial area will be Otay Lakes Road (to be
renamed Telegraph Canyon Road). Access to the residential areas will be
East "H" Street. The third major arterial will be a new road running
north-south which is referred to as Route 125. Although it is being
planned as a future 8-lane freeway, initially it will be a two lane or
four lane road extending to the north. The road is designed as a link
between I-54 to the north and the second border crossing area to the south.
The principal collector street within the boundaries of the project is
EastLake Parkway which will connect each of the residential neighborhoods
and extend over to the Village Center and southerly to the future high
school. Eastlake Parkway will function as the main internal collector
street providing access between all four neighborhoods. Special
landscaping, trails, and bike lanes are planned for EastLake Parkway.
The major offsite streets include East . "H" Street, Telegraph Canyon Road,
Rutgers, Otay Lakes Road and Route 125. The precise responsibilities for
improvements and time schedule are addressed in the Public Facilities and
\��3a

Financing Plan. An area-wide benefit assessment analysis will be
conducted by the City to establish the fair share obligation for improving
major streets in the area east of I-805 by respective developers in the
area,
In addition to automobile transportation facilities, Eastlake will build a
transportation center within the Village Center to serve the expanded
local and regional bus service. Park and ride facilities will be
incorporated into the Village Center parking areas.
Open Space and Recreation
The EastLake I SPA Plan provides for 250.8 acres of open space and 32.8
acres of park land. A General Landscape Plan is included within the SPA
Plan which describes the various treatment of the open space lands. Some
will be left in a natural condition and other areas will be planted and
irrigated to achieve neighborhood identity and/or linkages between
neighborhoods. Major entries into the development will receive highly
manicured treatment to identify the coimnunity.
Four private parks plus 3 mini-parks will be fully developed and
maintained by the Master Homeowners Association. The one public park is
proposed next to the future hi gh school and wi 11 be treated i n a future
submittal .
The major recreational facility for the project will be a 17 acre lake
located in the EastLake Shores neighborhood. This lake will provide
sailing and fishing plus a trail system for jogging and walking around the
lake. Residential units will be sited back from the lake to allow people
to use all of the lake shoreline.
A beach-park facility is planned adjacent to the 17 acre lake to provide
swirtuning, water sports, volleyball and outdoor picnicing.
Although privately funded and maintained by EastLake and the homeowners
association, all of the park facilities will be open to the public except
the swimming pools and tennis courts located in the neighborhood parks,
which will be fenced.
A system of bike lanes and pedestrian walkways are planned to provide
access within the project from residential areas to recreational , shopping
and other co�mnunity facilities.
Public Facilities
Public facilities such as roads, sewers, water facilities, drainage
facilities, fire station, library, transportation center and other
required facilities needed to serve the project will be provided by the
EastLake Development Company. The developer will install the necessary
public facilities within the project in accordance with the phasing plan
for the development.

Meeting Date�7l�Sj$5
Certain offsite facilities such as drainage facilities and major road
widenings or extensions are outlined in the Public Facilities and
Financing Plan. The timing and method of building the transportation
facility referred to as Route 125 from EastLake I to State Route 54 is the
major offsite facility being planned for future development within the
next 5-10 years.
Transportation studies have been conducted by the EastLake Development
Company, the City Engineer and SANDAG, WESTEC Services, and a private
traffic engineering consultant, Mr. Gary Hansen. Mr. Hansen's analysis of
the other studies has provided the basis for the City Engineer's
recortunendation contained in the Public Facilities and Financing Plan.
Design
The cortonunity design guidelines treat various design elements that
contribute to cortununity character. Building scale, landscaping, fencing,
street design, lighting, signage and project design must work together to
create a well designed community.
Many of the comnunity design guidelines included in the SPA Plan represent
design principles to guide builders and City staff in reviewing more
detailed project plans at a later date. Those items that relate to
community features such as landscaping, fencing, lighting, signing, open
space and recreation, and the major and collector street system are
treated in more detail to ensure consistency with the overall project
design. Future submittals involving site plan and architectural review
will address the remaining elements of site design.
2, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND FINANCING PLAN
The requirement for preparation of a Public Facilities and Financing Plan
was established in 1982 with the City Council 's adoption of the Planned
Community District Regulation for EastLake I. The purpose of the plan was
to set forth the method and source of funding by the developer to finance
the public facilities required to support the project and a development
phasing plan setting forth capital improvement program elements and
schedules for implementation.
The Public Facilities and Financing Plan is an essential component of the
SPA Plan. Together, these documents contain the City's official policy to
guide future decisions regarding public and private development of the
property.
\�3a .

The facilities required for the efficient and orderly development of the
project are as follows:
a. Road facilities
b. Water facilities
c. Sewer facilities
d. Educational facilities
e. Fire and Police facilities
f. Park and Recreation facilities .
� g. Library facilities
h. Public utility facilities
Road Facilities
All onsite road improvements will be built by the developer as conditions
of tentative subdivision map approval . Offsite road improvements
identified by the City's traffic analysis will be financed by developers
or a Facilities Benefit Assessment District, where each developer in the
affected area will participate in financing the improvements.
The streets identified for. improvement by 1995 are: East "H" Street,
Telegraph Canyon Road, Otay Lakes Road, Rutgers, Route 125, Proctor Valley
Road, Paseo Ranchero, Paseo Del Rey, and Corral Canyon Road. The level of
improvement and timing will be determined by the rate of cumulative
development in the area.
An annual monitoring program will tie established to track actual traffic
generation rates from development to ensure that improvements are built in
accordance with need. EastLake developers will construct offsite
improvements or will be assessed their fair share for the cost of offsite
improvements.
Water Facilities
The Otay Municipal Water District will provide water service to the
project. EastLake will annex to Improvement District 22 and pay
annexation fees to the District. These fees will be used to construct
water reservoirs, pipelines, pump stations, and related facilities. All
water facilities will be financed by the developer.
Sewer Facilities
Since Eastlake lies in several drainage basins, sewer lines will be
connected to the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Line, the Proctor Valley system
and Long Canyon. On-site facilities will be constructed by the
developer. Fees will be charged by the City for sewer connection and
reimbursements for capacity in the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Line.
�=����a
Page 6, Item 5A
Meeting Date�7T�5jff5
Educational Facilities
Eastlake I will generate approximately 875 elementary students and 418
secondary students. An elementary school will be built to serve the first
phase of EastLake I. A second elementary school will be necessary to
serve future phases of the project.
A location for a new high school has been identified by the high school
district, but based on available capacity, a new high school will not be
needed for this first phase.
Separate agreements will be signed by the elementary and high school
districts with the EastLake Development Company to guarantee educational
facilities will be available concurrent with need.
Fire and Police Facilities
The City is adequately served by the central police facility, however,
additional staff and equipment will be needed once EastLake I is
occupied. No new facilities are necessary to provide police services at
this time.
Fire protection facilities may need to be augmented with a new fire
station and start-up equipment to provide an adequate level of service to
the area.
EastLake Development Company is obligated to dedicate a site, build a
station and provide start-up equipment or contribute funds to a new
station.
Further detailed analysis of the cost, demand, and location of the fire
station will be conducted prior to any final decision by the City Council .
Park and Recreation Facilities
There will be seven (7) private parks constructed and maintained by the
Master Homeowners Association. A complete range of facilities is planned
within the seven parks. Al1 facilities will be open to the public except
for the swirmning pool and tennis courts which will be fenced. A total of
32.8 acres of park land will serve the project.
Library Facilities
A "store front" library site has been reserved within the Village Center
for future use. In addition, a one (1 ) acre site is being reserved for
construction of a branch library, should future development in the eastern
area create the need for a larger facility.
Various options to provide library service will be studied by the City in
conjunction with the General Plan update for the total area.
�-�`�'3a
Page 7, Item 5A
Meeti ng Date�/1�3/8�
Public Facilities
Telephone, gas, electricity and cable television facilities have been
planned in cooperation with the respective utility companies. Discussions
between EastLake Development Company and the City will continue with
respect to a telecoimnunications system to provide for traffic signal
interconnections, full service alarm capacity, emergency health
telecoimnunications system, water system telemetry and telecoimnunication
capability for high technology firms within the industrial park.
3. DEVELOP�IENT AGREEMENT
A development agreement, as permitted by California law, is a relatively
new tool that helps a public agency and a large scale development identify
what the rules are before large sums of public and/or private money are
invested in a project. A development agreement does not take the place of
a general plan or zoning or subdivision map. It is an agreement that sets
forth the coimnitments the developer will do and the commitments the City
will do. In short, the EastLake Development Company agrees to provide the
public and private improvements identified in the SPA Plan and the Public
Facilities and Financing Plan and the City agrees not to change the
planning and zoning approvals applicable to EastLake I during a specified
period of time. •
Future land use decisions must be made in accordance with the City's laws
and policies in effect when the agreement was entered into, with certain
exceptions regarding new State or federal laws.
Development agreements may be deliberately written to be flexible to allow
the City and the developer to solve specific problems in a cooperative
manner.
The implications for the City are essentially that a development agreement
specifies the time during which the City agrees not to change its
regulations, the permitted uses of the property, the density or intensity
of uses, and provisions for dedication or reservation of land for public
purposes. The agreement may also include any other terms and conditions
including time schedules for development or additional public services and
facilities to be provided by the developer.
The law does not prevent the City from subsequently denying or
conditioning the project so long as such decisions are not based upon a
zoning or plan change which occurred after entering into the development
agreement.
4. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL OF EASTLAKE I SPA PIAN
a. The lotting and street pattern shown on the EastLake I SPA Plan map
may be modified by the City Council during tentative subdivision map
consideration.

BOARDS/COhQAISSIONS RECOt�IENDATION: The Planning Commission recormnendation
will be forwarded to Council by separate memorandum.
DISCUSSION:
1 . City Council Action on January 29, 1985
The City Council 's approval in concept of the EastLake I Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan, Public Facilities and Financing Plan and
Development Agreement included the following referrals to staff:
a. Staff provide Council with a summary of the phasing and costs related
to both on-site and off-site traffic improvements connected with the
EastLake project as well as assuring Council that traffic conditions
can be accortunodated through the proposed phasing plan before they
become a problem to the City.
Response:
A map has been added to the Public Facilities and Financing Plan (page 34)
showing the four stages of development of the project. A second map has
been added at page 47 showing the cumulative off-site road facilities by
stages. Also attached are two charts showing the projects listed in the
Facilities PlarF-both on-site and off-site, by stage, and indicating the
responsibility for construction and the financing technique.
The facilities and Financing Plan is both a plan and a program for
action. The plan shows all of the known projected development east of
I-805 (including EastLake I) for the next 5 to 10 years and sets forth a
specific list of improvements to the existing circulation system to
accortmodate new development. As monitoring reports are prepared each
year, adjustments to the plan will be made as changes occur. The
irtmediate need is to create the Facilities Benefit Assessment District for
the area, set up a capital improvement program for the facilities
construction program. These programs are called for in the Facilities
Plan and must be carefully structured to assure the orderly development of
not only EastLake I , but other development east of I-805.
b. Staff to specifically address the need for extending State Route 125
north to State Route 54.
Response:
The extension of a four lane road along the Route 125 corridor from
EastLake to State Route 54 will be needed as development continues to
occur east of I-805 because the lack of north-south streets dictates the
need to travel on the east-west streets to reach the few existing
north-south facilities (e.g. , I-805) .
��,3`�
�,`
Page 3, Item 5
Meeting Date�7T�T8�
The question is when will the Route 125 facility be needed. This depends
on how much development occurs over time and what improvements are made to
the street system to facilitate traffic movement. ,
The Facilities and Financing Plan assumes the maximum amount of
development in the shortest possible time to determine the earliest date
that the Route 12_5 connection will be needed, i .e. , 1990. If the amount
of development is more or less than assumed in the traffic projections,
then the timing of construction of Route 125 will change.
The important point is for the City to set up an annual monitoring program
to update the assumptions in the traffic model as changes occur in
development rates and amounts.
The key to when Route 125 will need to be built is when intersection
capacities at Telegraph Canyon Road/I-805, "H" Street/I-805 and Bonita
Road/I-805 begin to approach their respective capacities.
c. Staff to include amendments to the Public facilities and Financing
Plan requested by United Enterprises.
Response:
The four changes requested by United Enterprises have been incorporated �
into the Public Facilities and Financing Plan.
d. Staff to address the implementation of a facilities benefit
assessment district as it pertains to other beneficiaries related to
EastLake.
Response:
A new Section 12 entitled Admini,stration has been added to the Facilities
Plan to outline the proposed program to implement the off-site street
improvements called for in the plan.
There are three critical elements to the implementation of the Facilities
Plan:
1 . A conprehensive traffic monitoring program,
2. An expanded Capital Improvement Program for progrartuning developer
funded facilities through public financing mechanisms, and
3. Establishing.a joint powers agreement with the County of San Diego to
set up an area-wide Facilities Benefit Assessment District.
These mechanisms will ensure that facilities are built in accordance with
need and that the cost of such facilities is paid for by benefitting
property owners in an equitable manner.
� �����
Page 4, Item 5
Meeting Date-27Tt3785
2. EastLake I SPA Plan
One additional condition has been added to provide for density transfer
within the SPA Plan, subject to the provision that no overall increase in
the total number of dwelling units shall be allowed.
3. Public Facilities and Financing Plan
Since your Council considered the SPA Plan, Public Facilities and
Financing Plan, and Development Agreement on January 29, substantial
refinements have been made to the latter two documents. The Public
Facilities and financing has been extensively reorganized and the changes
requested by United Enterprises have been incorporated into the document.
An addition, two new sections (12 and 13) have added. Section 12
describes the administration of the Plan and Section 13 sets up a Reserve
Fund mechanism to protect the City against a negative fiscal impact.
Chapter Ten lists the major public improvements and assigns the
responsibility for funding. Al1 of the on-site public improvements will
be installed by the developer through subdivision map conditions or
Mello-Roos Districts. The off-site public improvements are phased over a
multi-year time frame. The Development Agreement incorporates the Public
Facilities and Financing Plan by reference as part of the contractual
agreement between the City and the EastLake Development Company to
guarantee the provisions of public facilities when needed.
The off-site improvements for EastLake will be assured through various
means:
1 ) Subdivision map conditions on EastLake.
2) Other developer subdivision map conditions that have already been
approved by the City with back-up by EastLake, if needed.
3) Subdivision map conditions on EastLake that may be subject to
reimbursement when other development is approved.
4) Facility Benefit Assessment District with back-up financing by
EastLake through the Development Agreement.
In the event that any of the off-site improvements have not been
constructed at the time necessary to meet the demands of EastLake I SPA
Plan development, EastLake developers will be prohibited from drawing
building permits until adequate facilities are either constructed or under
construction. The procedure the City will use to make such determination
is more fully described in Chapter 12 of the Public Facilities and
Financing Plan.
\�3�
�,_�
Page 5, Item 5
Meeti ng Date�7TtlI8�
In addition, a new chart has been added to page 31 to illustrate the
relationship between trips generated by various types of land use and
building permits. The transportation phasing program is tied to building
permits for ease of administration, but the impact analysis is always trip
generation. Therefore, the new chart on page 31 provides a mechanism to
translate building permits to trips generated by the type of development.
4. Development Agreement
The draft agreement has also been redrafted to reflect the discussions
that have occurred since January 29.
The main provisions regarding public facility improvements are Sections
6.2, 6.2.1 , 6.2.2, and 6.2.3.
Section 6.2 describes the public facilities and funding mechanism required
by the project.
Section 6.2.1 assigns responsibility to the developer to construct the
public facilities listed in the Public Facilities and Financing Plan.
Section 6.2.2 provides for stopping the issuance of building permits for
EastLake if the public facilities called for in the Public Facilities Plan
are not provided.
Section 6.2.3 provides for reimbursement when EastLake is required to
"front" facilities that are wholly or partially the responsibility of
other developers.
CONCLUSION
The respective staff reports pertaining to each of the EastLake project items,
subject of this advertised public hearing, are attached.

i Attachment 1
EASTLAKE I SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN
RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
1 . THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE
EASTLAKE I GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE PC ZONE AND THE CHULA VISTA
GENERAL PLAN.
The EastLake I Sectional Planning Area Plan reflects land use,
circulation, open space, and public facility uses consistent with the
Eastlake I General Development Plan, as amended.
2. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD PROMOTE THE ORDERLY,
SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA.
The SPA Plan and Public Facilities and Financing Plan contain provisions
to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project over a 5-6 year ,
period. Public road improvements phasing schedules will control the
sequential development of the project. The Public Facilities and
Financing Plan contains provisions to halt the issuance of building permit
if needed public facilities are not available concurrent with need.
3. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT
ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENYIRONMENTAL
QUALITY.
Perimeter open space and/or single family detached residential is planned
adjacent to existing residential areas to the west and south to ensure the
continued residential enjoyment of adjacent residents. Circulation is
provided by street connections to the west, north and south to ensure
orderly traffic movement. Supplemental environmental impact analysis
documents the. overall . benefits to the environment, including mitigation
measures to protect environmental quality of the region.

SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning Yj (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
BACKGROUND
The subdivision map filed for the residential area identified as Eastlake
Hills and EastLake Shores encompasses 282 acres of land proposed to be
subdivided into residential lots. In addition, nearly 150 acres of open
space, a 10 acre elementary school site, and nearly 24 acres of parkland which
includes a 17-1/2 lake are part of the residential package.
It should be noted that an additional 1-1/2 acre of mini-parks area is
included with the residential development acreage and the major circulation
streets such as "H", the two north/south loop systems and the main connecting
roads are excluded from these acreage totals.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission is scheduled to
consider the map on February 13, 1985, therefore, their recommendation will be
forwarded to Council in a separate letter.
DISCUSSION:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council based upon the findings contained in this
report, adopt a motion recommending that the City Council approve the
subdivision map for EastLake Hills and EastLake Shores subject to the
following:
1. The developer shall be required to dedicate and/or construct all public
improvements and facilities, determined by the City to be necessary to
serve the Eastlake Hills and Shores area. Specific requirements shall be
as specified in each phase of development in conjunction with the proposed
recordation of final maps as follows: Ref. Public Facilities Financing
Plan.
Defined Improvements
Said improvements shall include but not be limited to: A.C. pavement,
base, curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaped islands, sewer and water
utilities, drainage facilities, street lights, signs, and street trees.

DISCUSSION
r
1. General Lotting of Area
a. The EastLake Hills and Shore areas are designed to accommodate a
variety of house types and lot sizes. The proposed residential area
is bisected by "H" street with the Hills area located on the north
4 and the Shores to the south.
b. The Hills area features the more traditional square foot lot with
some 54 acres in the northern section planned for 104 lots with a
minimum lot size of 8,000 sq. ft. Immediately adjacent to the south
are 187 lots with minimum areas of 7,000 sq. ft. The areas abutting
"H" Street and a part of the elementary school are 5,000 sq. ft. in
size. These 162 lots are 50 feet to 60 feet in width. The
elementary school and adjacent park act as the focal point of this
453 lot neighborhood.
Access to the Hills area will be via "H" Street, Corral Canyon Road
and the I-125 corridor. Nearly 94 acres of open space buffers this
area from adjoining areas.
\�g3�
Page 10, Item 5C.
Meeting Date z/19/85
c. The Shores area is considerably higher in density with 188 lots in
the 4,000-4,500 sq. ft. size. These lots are divided into two areas
abutting "H" Street, small 1/2 acre minimum parks are located on the
loop road at the entries to these two subdivisions. Five larger lots
totalling 66 acres are located against the loop road and are planned
to accommodate 663 attached or detached units. One of the parcels
abuts the 17 acre lake located in the Shores. Two lots which will
accommodate up to 676 attached units are planned for the remaining 35
acres.
A total of 1 ,525 dwelling units will be accommodated in the Shores on
137 acres resulting in an overall density for the area at over 11
D/U's per acre.
The 17+ acre lake and adjacent 4 acre park will serve as the focal
point of the Shores. In addition, 3 mini parks of 1/2 acre each are
located on the loop road and an additional 55 acres of open space is
located on the periphery.
d. The applicant has indicated a further parceling of the higher density
multiple family areas will be necessary to satisfy financing programs
for the builders of such parcels. A condition as has been placed on
the tentative map limiting such lots to a 2 acre minimum until site
plan approval has been given by the City.
2. Circulation/Street Improvements
Approval of this subdivision for nearly 2,000 dwelling units necessitates
conditions of onsite and offsite street improvements which are tied to the
EastLake facilities financing plan and yet must be conditioned somewhat
independent of that plan.
The financing plan and necessity for various road segments is based on an
areawide assessment of traffic demands with EastLake development being
part of the total area. However, since approval of the EastLake
subdivision map would authorize the development to proceed independent of
other projects planned in the area, conditions must be applied to this
map. The development of EastLake Hills and Shores will require the
4 improvement of:
a. "H" Street, both widening and extension from 1-805 to the project to
function as the primary east-west traffic corridor.
b. The construction of a road in close alignment with the 125 corridor
extending from the project boundary to I-54. This construction will
most likely involve a bridge constructed over the Sweetwater River.
c. The completion of Corral Canyon and Rutgers Avenue from street "Y" to
the present improvements in Rutgers.
d. The widening of Telegraph Canyon Road and Otay Lakes Road to four
lane segments to the project boundaries.
�_�\°\3!i
•
Page 11 , Item 5C
Meeting Date 2/19/8b
e. The completion of all onsite roads in accordance with the subdivision
4 map design.
Construction of the various offsite improvements will be phased with
actual construction programs. Residential development for Eastlake is
planned for four phases, with each phase containing approximately 500
dwelling units. The first phase of construction will include installation
of the park in the Hills area as well as the park and lake in the Shores
area. "H" Street will be extended off-site to Otay Lakes Road and Rutgers
Avenue completed to provide two driving lanes, linking the subdivision
with the intended EastLake Business Park planned east on Otay Lakes Road.
(Reference Condition #1 . )
Other major off-site linkages such as the extension of I-125 to #54 will
be required with the start of Phase 4 (residential construction) .
3. Street Names
The applicant is in the process of submitting a list of street names which
will require review by the various City departments. Final approval of
the street names is required by the Planning Commission, therefore, it is
intended that such names will come back at a later date for your
consideration.
4. Lot Areas
Although the P.C. Regulations establish minimum lot areas for the various
zoning classifications listed, certain lots within a given subdivision
will be less than the minimum specified in P.C. Regulations. The City's
Zoning Ordinance presently allows for these deviations by allowing for
averaging. The conditions placed on EastLake Hills/Shores would allow for
a maximum deviation of 20% the lots to be below the minimum lot area
specified, provided that no more than 20% of the lots within the
subdivision were effected. In addition, the total lot area (within the
subdivision) must average out to the minimum standard. In a 5,000 sq. ft.
minimum subdivision design having 100 lots, 20 lots could be 4,000 sq. ft.
in size provided that the total area of the 100 lots equalled 500,000 sq.
ft. Thus, if 20 lots were designed at 4,000 sq. ft. the remaining 80
would have to average 5,250 sq. ft.
5. Low/Moderate and Manufactured Housing Requirements
a. The applicant is obligated by the SPA requirements to provide 10% of
the housing units for qualified low/moderate income families. The
City's Housing Coordinator has determined that a further breakdown is
necessary to ensure the construction of low income units. Therefore
5% or 119 units must qualify for low income families. It is
anticipated that these units will be constructed offsite from this
subdivision in the proposed Village Center area east of the 125
corridor. The project has been conditioned to allow for the
construction of 119 moderate income units with the option of allowing
a portion of the units to be located in the Village area as well .
Page 12, Item 5C
Meeting Date 2/ i9/65
b. The original P.C. Regulations stipulated that 6.6% or approximately
166 manufactured homes would be required for EastLake. These units
may be either mobile homes or manufactured units placed on permanent
foundations and offered for sale. It is anticipated that such
housing would be built in the Shores area in the one or more of the
RP designated density subdivisions.
6. Schools
The applicant is proposing to dedicate and construct one elementary school
within the subdivision boundaries. In addition, space within existing
junior high schools is available together with other approved or acquired
sites located outside the boundaries of EastLake. EastLake is planning
for the dedication and construction of a high school and one additional
elementary school in the area located south of Telegraph Canyon Road
outside the boundaries of the subdivision.
A condition of approval requiring letters from each of the school
districts (Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater High School) will be
required prior to the issuance of building permits. Those letters require
verification by the district that school service will be available to
serve the units proposed for construction.
7. Landscaping
The Shores and Hills areas feature nearly 150 acres of open space not
included proposed park land. . These open space areas which involve a
combination of natural and manufactured slopes will be the maintenance
responsibility of a master homeowners association. In addition, a
maintenance district will also be established to cover any areas dedicated
to the City. The natural areas will be left natural in most cases.
However, supplemental tree planting of certain canyons and ornamental
planting of key entry areas will occur. Many of the manufactured slopes
will be landscaped with native materiaLs to minimize water needs. Highly
visible entry and corridor areas will have ornamental planting which will
be manicured to achieve a desired design effect. The overall concept and
landscaping classifications for given areas is shown in the EastLake SPA
plan.
8. Parks
The proposed construction of 641 detached units and 1 ,339 multiple family
units within the Hills and Shores area would require the construction of
just over 10 acres of park land, if the entire 1 ,339 units of multiple
were recorded as condos, the total park requirement would increase by 3
acres to a total of 13 acres.
The plan for the Hill and Shores development is to have nearly 9 acres of
traditional park land and a 17-1/2 acre lake or just over 26-1/2 acres
total. In addition, a 9 acre park is planned for dedication with the high
school site located south of Telegraph Canyon Road. The SPA Plan proposes
a formula for park credit which recognizes the semi-private nature of some
Page 13, Item 5C
Meeting Date 2/19/85
of the parks and features proposed within the them. In other words,
certain facilities or areas within the parks are open to the members of
the EastLake community and not the general public. Therefore, a credit of
50% is suggested in the SPA plan which still enables the applicant to meet
the City's park standards.
In addition to park standards the City requires developers to pay RCT
(residential construction tax) monies to finance park construction as well
as other needed public facilities (drainage, sewer, fire stations,
libraries, etc. ). Since EastLake is obligated for all the necessary
public facilities as part of the SPA and financial plan, conditions of the
subdivision conditions recommend the waiver of any fees connected with
parks or residential construction tax.
FINDINGS
1. Pursuant to Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the tentative
subdivision map for EastLake Hills and EastLake Shores, Chula Vista
Tentative Map Act 84-9, is found to be consistent with the EastLake
General Development Plan and Sectional Planning Area Plan recommended for
adoption by the Chula Vista Planning Commission on February 13, 1985, and
the City's General Plan based on the following findings:
a) Land Use Element - the Specific Plan designates the area for a
combination of uses which includes 1 ,979 dwelling units, just under
24 acres of park land, nearly 150 acres of open space, and one
elementary school. The Plan specifies that the residential land use
will be at an average density of 7 dwelling units per acre.
b) Circulation Element - all of the on-site public roads will be
installed as shown on the adopted SPA Plan as well as various
off-site improvements which involve the widening of Telegraph Canyon
Road, the extension and widening of "H" Street, the construction of a
north-south road identified on the Plan as Route 125, as well as
other minor off-site road connections.
c) Housing Element - the proposed project will provide for a mixture of
• housing types including single-family detached, attached and various
densities of condominiums or apartment units. Ten percent of the
units, or approximately 238 units, will be committed to low and
moderate income persons, a percentage of this housing requirement may
be transferred to Village Center section of EastLake subject to
subsequent approval of that subdivision at a future date by the City
conservation element. 119 moderate units will be required of this
subdivision.
d) Parks and Recreation and Open Space Elements - the proposed project
will result in the retention of over 100 acres of natural open space
and approximately 150 acres in total open space plus nearly 24 acres
of park land. The amount of land and the locations comply with the
adopted Sectional Planning Area plan. The developer is maintaining a
substantial area in natural open space in coordination with the
adjacent natural areas presently established adjacent to the EastLake

Development. In addition, other areas of manufactured slopes will be
placed in permanent open space belts and landscaped to provide buffer
areas between the main traffic arteries and the residential
development. A paleontologist will be required to be on the site
during the critical grading period so that valuable specimens can be
recovered and catalogued and recorded.
e) Seismic Safety Element - the closest identified fault in the area is
the La Nacion Fault located over 2 miles to the west. The
Environmental Impact Report indicates that the Coronado Banks Fault,
which is most likely to affect the project site with ground shaking,
is located some 20 miles from the project area. There are no
inferred faults located within the subject site. Specific mitigation
relating to slope stability and techniques dealing with fill slopes
will be incorporated in the grading of the project. All dwelling
units within the project will be required to be designed so as to not
exceed the maximum interior noise level of 45 dBA. Additionally, all
• exterior private open space will be shielded by a combination of
earth berms, walls, or buildings. Subsequent noise studies will need
to be prepared when precise plans for specific developments are
submitted.
f) Scenic Highway Element - Manufactured slopes adjacent to "H" Street
have been designed to undulate and vary in steepness with extensive
landscaping planned to soften and beautify their appearance. In
addition, a landscaped median is being provided and decorative walls
will be used in areas where development interfaces with "H" Street.
Building locations, design and signing will all be controlled through
the use of development standards incorporated in the PC Regulations
to ensure compliance with the Scenic Highway Element.
g) Bicycle Routes - the proposed development will include bicycle lanes
on the major streets such as "H" as well as the interconnects with
the loop roads which will link up with bicycle paths connecting the
elementary school and various parks within the development. "H"
Street is identified in the Bicycle Routes Element as a major bicycle
link.
•
h) Public Building Elements - the applicant has identified and offered
for dedication and is obligated for construction of an elementary
school site located in the Eastlake Hills area. In addition, the
applicant is obligated to dedicate and construct a high school site
located off-site of this subdivision but within the EastLake
ownership located on the south side of Telegraph Canyon Road. A fire
station and a possible branch library will also be constructed
off-site from this development to satisfy the Public Building Element.
2. Pursuant to Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Council
certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the
housing needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the
public service needs of the residents of the City and the available fiscal
and environmental resources
