Report on proposed rezoning of 2 acres `rom C-O-P to C-C-P and 1 .18 acres �rom R-E to C-C-P on the souih:��est side of Otav Lakes P.oad, south � of SDGZE easement - Don E. i•;orr�an & Glenn Asharill , and City initiated Director of Planning Peterson noted that this rezoning ti•�as considered by the Planning Co �� ission on September 14 based on an application filed by t:essrs . i;or�:�an and Ash�vill to rezone 2 acres from C-O-P to C-C-? and the sta��' s determina=ion that the adjacent 1 . 18 acres, presentty zoned R-E, should be included in the sane zone as the .2 acres. The staff' s recommendation at that time �•ras for denial of the requested change from C-O-P to C-C-P and that the 1 .18 acres be rezoned to C-O-P. ' The Planning Co�ission agreed �•�ith the findings in support of C-O-P zoning for the 3. 18 acres and fon�iar-ded that recem�nendation to �ne City Council . In a public hearing held on October 4 the Council determined tha� the �;orman znd Ash�+iill property should be rezoned to C-C-P. Inasmuch as that determination ��ias not in concurrence t•rith the Planning Cornmission's recom�mendation, it is required by la��i that this proposal be re�erred back to the CoTU�ission for reconsideratien and a repor� bac� � to the Council . - i•ir. Peterson advised that despite infornation presented to tne Council by the property o:mers, it is still the stafr''s feeling that the C-O-P zone is most suitable for this site due to the ample supply of retail commercial zoning in the irr.mediate area. Chairman Chandler announced that although this is not a public hearing, th= Commission t•:ould be t•rilling to hear -`rom the propzr�y o�;mer if he desires. Glenn Ash:�ill , 255 Canino del Cerro Grande, adviszd that they had appealed to the City Council because they �aere unable to appear ai �he earlier hearing be�ore the Planning Ccm�nission, and that based on infornaiion �•tnich �hey supplied to the Council that body hzd concurred that the C-C-P zoning should be expand�d. He pointed out that six acres of the adjacent C-C zoned prop2rcy has no:� be2n approved for residential developmen± ti•�hich is beina implemented. He also reported that t:io acres �•ihich fronts on Otay La{:es Road has been sold to Par Construction Company, t•,hicn firm is actively planning a commercial develop��nt there. As a result of that development proposal , t:essrs . i:orman znd Ash�•iill are receivino more inquiries �.ritn reaard to reiail cor:�ercial use of their property than for cor�mercial office use. He exaressed their desire to marl:et_ t%ie property and tne need, therer'ore, to obtain the zoning o-rith the most appeal to potential users. He pointed out that prior to 1974 the entire 10 acre parcel ��as zoned C-T-D but their atterpt co develop tne propert, resulted in a doa;nzoning action to C-C and C=O. Ne contended that �,ricn archi :ec:ural control tne city could be assured of commercial develop�Tent ihat rrould be co;npztible vrith the apartnents presently under construction on the adjoining six acres . _ -—� _� ---- _-'-�-\��q-- -_------_ - -_- -. .- _ _ _ �-:.-` � _'-_- -- . - '== _-=-=:�:=== - -s�r.--_-°_,=:�r -1 _ - - ` - - --- = - . __ . . ... - - - �� -- - '• - , • __ - - --- -=- - �-- _' - - -�� - ,. .

He felt that rezoning of that parcel should be contingent upon the dedication of the additional right of �•iay. It o-ras moved by Con�issioner Pressutti , seconded by Com�nissioner G.

C1 PROJECT TZTI,E; City Initiated Rezoning from R-E to C-C-P Project Location : South of the SDG&E transmission line easement west of Otay Lakes Rd. Project Proponent : . City of Chula Vista Planning Dept. C�ISE ,:0. IS-78-15 DATE: September 1 , 1977 ' A. Environmental Setting The subject site involves 2 . 44 acres (gross) of vacant land located witnin and south of the San Dieyo Gas & Electric Company ' s transnission line easement to the west of Otay Lakes Rd. Bonita Vista Jr. Hich school is located to the northcvest and vacant land proposed to be developed with apartments and unspeci�ied retail uses to the south. The site is generally level and has been disturbed to some degree. C The southeast section of the property , adjacent to Otay Lakes Rd. , � SL'aPOi'tS a variety of natural veaetation that, although intermittentl � disturbed; is in fairly healthy condition. Native grasses , blaccer y , nod and sage brush are the predoninent species present, ho�•:ever several Coast barrel cactus have been observed. L4ildlife species that may reside on site or frequent the site are supposed to be the same as those utilizing surrounding areas such as Rice Canyon to the soutni•;est, but in less intensity due to site size and intrusion o� man. These species could include the orange-throated whiptailec . lizard, coast horned lizard and common kinq snake which have been icentified by the Calif. Fish & Game Department has having critical� poaulation levels. The closest kno:•:n earthquake fault is the La Nacion system about 1 mile to the east. The site has been subject to indiscri�inate dumping of debris and there may be expansive soils present. B. Project DescriAtion The project entails the consideration of a city initiated rezoning of the subject acreage from R-E to C-C-P zoning. The Bonita Vista � project so the south, is currently zoned C-O-P and C-C-P. This � ' develoament is currently under�aay with the initial construction of apartments on the southern 8 acres. Due to market conditions the oroposed medical office site originally planned for the northern tc•;o acres adjacent to the subject project site is proposed to be rezoned to C-C-P. . _ �-{--:= - - -- - - = - - - - _ - =�'= - __'-;_�� -.:`��'. -_ . = ..�s��.__.— - : .: -^T'- - -- - - - -- - - _ -_— ° _- - - - ' - - ��"-. . -— =-- __. - �: . � . . . _ � - . - - ,^'cs�.��. ,;a.:;,.,:..� _ __,•`-_ _ �:..��r'.--_ _ :._ . _ . . •_' ' . _ '. =z '_ _'I-' -' .

Con�ormance with zonina and olans C ' The General Plan designates property on the west side o� Otay Lakes Rd. , north of H St. and . south of Bonita Vista Jr. high school for retail commercial development. The proposed rezoning is in i con •_`ormance caith the General Plan. Also, Otay Lakes Rd. is designated as a Scenic Route. The P modi=ier at�ached to the C-C zone will reauire corioliance with the desian criteria established in the Scenic Route Element of the General Plan. D. Identi •_`ication o£ environmental effects The proposed rezonina caill allow commercial use of the �ro:,ertv rather tnan loca censity residential , the former c�:ill aen.erate more tra •`�ic. Also , development in an area where some encangered veaetation is present, Foast barrel cactus), could further reCUCe the poaulation o� that species ii not ranspianted. These environmen�al considerations cannot be sufficiently addressed ua�i1 saeci�ic plans are available , hoc•;ever, and when sub;nitted will required �urther review. . C: E. Fincines o•` insicnificant imoact 1. The oroposed rezoning will not result in any physical chanae that could alter or destroy any significant veaetation or wildli�e. 2. The oroposed oroject is in conformance witn the General Plan and caill insure compliance caith associated elements . 3 . No impacts have been identi£ied with the proposed action that ,could interact to create any substantial cumulative ef�ect on the environment. 4 . The pronosed rezoning will allo�o development that could generate a substantial increase in traf£ic , hocaever until snecific plans to develop the property are submitted this environmental aspect cannot be adequately discussed.
