PRESENTATION BY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR RICHARD HOPKINS, OF EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH SILVIA COSIO, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST II City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 1 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" City of Chula Vista CTY CHUILAVISTA Staff Report File#: 14-0332, Item#: 1. ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.05.010 RELATING TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF UNCLASSIFIED POSITIONS TO ADD A FISCAL AGENT SENIOR SECRETARY (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) (4/5 VOTE REQUIRED) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the ordinance. SUMMARY The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Director is requesting to add a Fiscal Agent (FA) Senior Secretary to the Chula Vista compensation schedule and classification plan. This position is fully reimbursed by grant funds, along with a 4% administrative fee for acting as the fiscal agent. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable. DISCUSSION The Police Department acts as the fiscal agent for various law enforcement programs which are funded through various State and Federal agencies. As the fiscal agent, the Police Department hires and provides salary and benefits for these positions which are normally located in task force offices throughout San Diego County. Although they aren't physically located in the City, they are are considered City employees. These positions are designated as "FA" (Fiscal Agent) in the title description in order to delineate these positions in the budget as well as ensure there is no confusion between these unclassified positions, and their counterparts in the classified service. One FA Senior Secretary is requested to be added to the authorized count of the Police Grant Fund to support the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. The purpose of the HIDTA program is to reduce drug trafficking and production in the United States by facilitating cooperation among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies and enhancing law enforcement intelligence sharing among these agencies. This new position is fully reimbursed by HIDTA grant funds, along with a 4% administrative fee for acting as the fiscal agent. The FA Senior Secretary will perform a wide variety of highly-responsible secretarial duties to support City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0332, Item#: 1. the HIDTA Director. This position may exercise technical and functional supervision over clerical personnel as assigned. Functions may include, but are not limited to, the following: set up and maintain financial, statistical, and operational records; review departmental payroll submittals and various time sheets; screen calls, visitors, and mail and take action appropriate to request/situation; respond to letters and general correspondence; make travel arrangements, maintain appointment schedules and calendars, arrange meetings and conferences, and schedule facilities reservations as necessary. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2 (a)(1) is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. This new position supports the goal of Strong and Secure Neighborhoods by providing additional resources to meet HIDTA goals and objectives, which ultimately impact the safety of the City of Chula Vista. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT Approval of Resolution A will result in the amendment of the compensation schedule and classification plan to add the classification of FA Senior Secretary. This new classification is an at- will position and will be eliminated if grant funding ends. The FA Secretary will be assigned to the Confidential (CONF) group. The E-Step bi-weekly salary for the FA Senior Secretary will be $1,942.94. Approval of Resolution B will result in the addition of one FA Senior Secretary to the authorized position count of the Police Grant Fund. The Department anticipates filling this position in late May. These personnel costs are fully reimbursed by HIDTA grant funds, and the City receives a 4% administrative fee for acting as the fiscal intermediary for this position. Due to personnel savings from vacant HIDTA positions, no further appropriations are necessary in the current fiscal year. Approval of the Ordinance will amend Chula Vista Municipal Code 2.05.010 to reflect the addition of FA Senior Secretary. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The ongoing annual cost for this position is approximately $79,600. The personnel costs are fully reimbursed by HIDTA grant funds, and the City receives a 4% administrative fee for acting as the fiscal intermediary for this position. Because of the 4% administrative fee, there will be a positive impact of approximately $3,184 to the General Fund each fiscal year. If the HIDTA grant no longer funds this position, then it will be eliminated. City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 2 Printed on 5/29/2014 ORDINANCE NO.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING TITLE 8, HEALTH AND SANITATION, BY ADDING CHAPTER 8.27, TRAINING IN RESPONSIBLE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SERVICE REQUIRED FOR ON-SALE LICENSEES AND EMPLOYEES, TO THE CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE (SECOND READING AND ADOPTION) RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the ordinance. SUMMARY This ordinance will require that on-sale alcohol licensees and their employees complete training in responsible alcoholic beverage service, either through the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control's LEAD (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs), or another privately offered RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) program. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not Applicable. DISCUSSION Education Enhances Public Safety Alcohol-related crime and disorder is preventable, through the personal responsibility of the consumer and the professional responsibility of the provider. Accordingly, requiring training in responsible alcoholic beverage service is important to enhance public safety in Chula Vista. Underage drinking and alcohol-fueled injuries and deaths in vehicle crashes, sexual assaults, domestic violence, and other crimes threaten public health and safety. Nuisance behavior linked to ABC businesses or patrons also may diminish quality of life for owners, employees, other patrons, and nearby residents. Educating providers in the responsible service of alcoholic beverages will go a long way to prevent alcohol-related problems in the community. The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) regularly inspects and conducts enforcement operations of on-sale alcohol licensees within the city. During inspections and operations within the past year, incidents of a potentially dangerous nature as well as non-compliance with ABC regulations were City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 5 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0343, Item#: 2. observed. In one recent undercover operation, an 18-year-old female was allowed entry into a bar after midnight. Less than one month ago, a bar patron was assaulted outside of the bar after getting into an altercation with other patrons. When officers arrived the subject was extremely intoxicated, and witnesses, as well as video footage, confirmed he had been over-served at the bar. These observations and activities have highlighted the need for continuous education for on-sale alcohol establishment employees. Both proactive and reactive police activity at on-sale establishments with high calls for service have required a significant amount of the Department's limited resources. CVPD has held numerous community meetings as well as problem-solving campaigns to reduce alcohol-related issues at these businesses. In addition to CVPD's efforts, prevention of alcohol intoxication at on-sale establishments, at the point of service, is also needed. The service of alcoholic beverages within the community comes with a great responsibility. Therefore, a licensee and its employees must fully understand all of the laws surrounding the sales and service of alcohol prior to serving their first beer. Those businesses that are properly trained in California Law on a regular basis are better equipped to deny a sale based on the educated observations of staff. Through continued cooperation with the community and enforcement operations, CVPD believes an ordinance requiring LEAD and RBS training is necessary to most effectively prevent alcohol-related crimes and injuries associated with on-sale establishments. The training will assist and benefit the approximately 160 on-sale alcohol establishments in Chula Vista by educating their staff on the responsibilities of providing alcohol service. Also on-sale establishments that participate in responsible alcoholic beverage service training demonstrate to patrons and the community that public safety is a paramount concern. Other Cities and Impact Studies Several cities in San Diego County have already enacted ordinances requiring alcohol establishments to send employees to LEAD or RBS training. Those cities are: Imperial Beach, National City, El Cajon, San Marcos, Encinitas, Vista, Poway, Solana Beach and Carlsbad. Many of these ordinances were enacted within the past five years. The Center for Community Research evaluated 3,006 surveys completed by participants in 95 LEAD courses throughout San Diego County over the course of 3 years. The overwhelming majority (93% and above) of respondents found the LEAD training topics to be "very useful" or "useful." (Center for Community Research, 2013). Evaluations of similar RBS programs throughout the world have shown a positive impact when training is coupled with enforcement and the development of strong business policies (Wallin, Norstrom & Andreasson, 2003). These studies show that a combination of training and enforcement results in reductions in the number of intoxicated persons leaving a bar, car crashes, sales to intoxicated patrons, sales to minors, and incidents of violence surrounding alcohol outlets (Wallin, Norstrom, & Andreasson, 2003). While evaluations of the effectiveness of responsible beverage service programs are limited, studies have shown the most effective programs are those that are mandatory, include owners and managers and servers, and include a visible enforcement component (US Department of Health and Human Services, 2002). The Chula Vista Police Department will measure the success of requiring training by calculating the number of employees trained, enforcement action taken, and any change in calls for service to on-sale establishments for disorderly and violent incidents. In addition to a positive impact on public safety, these mandatory classes benefit businesses and staff by boosting job skills and potentially reducing civil liability risks associated with service of City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 5 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0343, Item#: 2. alcoholic beverages to an obviously intoxicated minor that results in injury or death. Cal. Bus. and Prof. Code § 25602.1. State and local governments can help prevent these tragedies through a combination of community outreach, enforcement and mandatory training. Several states have adopted mandatory RBS training laws (including Oregon, Washington, and New Mexico). The Institute of Medicine, in a review of strategies to reduce youth access to alcohol, recommended, "States should require all sellers and servers of alcohol to complete state-approved training as a condition of employment." (2004: 172). The ordinance proposed would require the LEAD or RBS training on a local level and therefore provide the City of Chula Vista with a prevention tool to reduce youth access to alcohol. Many on-sale alcohol outlets already participate voluntarily in RBS training in the interest of running a responsible business and protecting public safety. The CVPD has hosted several LEAD trainings in previous years with a high attendance rate. The mandatory training is necessary to ensure all establishments and employees are educated in ABC law and the importance of preventing alcohol intoxication. The ordinance is directed toward on-sale establishments due to the disorder and crime potential of alcoholic beverage consumption and the opportunity to prevent over service at these establishments. In their review of alcohol science research in a leading medical journal, Room and colleagues argue that "the general rule in such situations is that it is easier and more effective for the state to influence licensed occupational behavior than it is to influence the behavior of private customers" (2005). Calls for service related to violent and disorderly patrons are higher at on-sale establishments. The servers at on-sale establishments are critical in the prevention of alcohol intoxication. Proposed Ordinance Based on the Chula Vista Police Department's problem analysis, the ordinance is recommended to increase employee awareness of ABC-related laws and consequently amplify efforts to prevent alcohol-related crimes and disturbances at on-sale alcohol establishments. The ordinance will apply to all businesses with retail on-sale ABC licenses in Chula Vista, such as restaurants, taverns, night clubs and bars. This also includes the Sleep Train Amphitheatre. The LEAD (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs) and RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) programs were developed as a result of collaboration between law enforcement and local businesses to improve public health and safety by increasing compliance with state and local law. The LEAD training is available at no cost and is funded by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC). The RBS training is offered by private providers for a fee - usually less than $25.00 per person. The mission of the LEAD and RBS programs is to provide high-quality, effective and educationally sound training on alcohol responsibility and the laws related to California retail licensees and their employees. These programs teach best practices in preventing service to minors and over-service to adults. Topics include ABC and DUI laws, liability, recognizing signs of intoxication, refusing sales, guest safety, checking identification, and recognizing false identification. Many ABC licensees in Chula Vista already enroll their employees in these programs in the interest of promoting public safety, managing a safe and responsible business, and minimizing liability. Training lasts three to four hours and is regularly available throughout the region in live classes, interactive online courses, or sessions at the workplace. City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 5 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0343, Item#: 2. A manager or supervisory employee who has completed LEAD or RBS training must be on the business premises during operating hours. Any employee who serves alcohol must complete LEAD or RBS training. Training must be completed within 6 months of the effective date of the ordinance, hire of a new employee, or start of a new business, which ever date is soonest. Training certificates will be considered valid for 4 years from date of completion. Proof of training must be kept on the premises and available for inspection during business hours upon request by a Chula Vista Police Officer or other designated City employee. Community Outreach Chief Bejarano sent a letter to each retail on-sale licensee on February 24, 2014 introducing and summarizing the proposed ordinance, as well as inviting questions and comments. The Department received four responses in support of the ordinance and zero responses in opposition. On April 10, 2014, Chief Bejarano sent a follow-up letter notifying licensees of the planned Council date to propose the ordinance. He also provided information of a LEAD training in National City on April 24, 2014. Training Opportunities To facilitate the initial number of employees requiring training, CVPD will coordinate with ABC and the Responsible Hospitality Coalition to sponsor LEAD training every three months. Subsequently, CVPD will sponsor or coordinate LEAD training in the South Bay every six months. In the event that licensees need to send an employee to a different training, the option of RBS exists and numerous classes are offered throughout the county. The Chula Vista Police Department will proactively notify each on-sale licensee about the requirements and opportunity for sponsored training upon passage of the ordinance. CVPD will post information on training programs on its website and provide information on training programs upon request. Compliance Pursuant to the ordinance, on-sale licensees will be required to maintain proof of training on the business premises. The Chula Vista Police Department will intermittently conduct routine ABC inspections and on-sale licensee owners or managers will be asked to provide proof that employees are trained. The training provider issues a certificate to the employee once training is completed. The Chula Vista Police Department recommends that after an employee receives training, they provide a copy of the certificate to their employer, which will be kept on the premises. The business is responsible for meeting the requirements of this ordinance, not the employee. As such, any citations or fines will be issued to the ABC licensee. A violation of any provision of this chapter or failure to comply with any requirement of this chapter is an infraction and shall be punishable in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1.20, General Penalty, of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, and other laws applicable to infractions.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA AMENDING COUNCIL POLICY 570-01 , SEWER LATERAL MAINTENANCE POLICY AND COUNCIL POLICY 576-05 TREES - PRESERVATION AS IT RELATES TO SEWER LATERAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED ACTION Council adopt the resolution. SUMMARY The proposed amendment to Council Policy 570-01 Sewer - Maintenance (CP570-01) defines the terms used in the body of the existing policy, clarifies the standard work associated with the replacement of the sewer lateral and clarifies responsibility for the costs associated with repairs due to damage caused by trees maintained by the City. In addition, Council Policy 576-05 Trees Preservation (CP576-05) amendment provides modified language to reference CP570-01 for any sewer lateral issue. The proposed modifications to both Council Policies will bring them into alignment. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity qualifies for a Class 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15306 [Information Collection] of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of basic data collection and evaluation of potentially deteriorated sewer manholes throughout the city. Thus, no further environmental review is required at this time. Although environmental review is not required at this time, once the scope of an individual project to be funded has been defined, environmental review will be required and the appropriate environmental determination will be made. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Current Council Policy 570-01 (CP570-01) was adopted by Resolution 9556, dated April 10, 1979 and amended by Minute Action on February 21 , 1984 (Attachment 1). The Policy established that the property owner is responsible for the maintenance of his/her sewer lateral. It also gave direction as to the responsibility of the City and the property owner in repairing any damage caused to a sewer lateral by a City maintained Street Tree. The update to CP570-01 seeks to add further clarification of these responsibilities by defining the terms used in the Policy. The diagram below is now included in CP570-01.

As shown in the attached strike out - underline version of CP570-01 (Attachment 2), the intent of the original policy establishing the property owner as the responsible party for the sewer lateral has not been changed or modified. The CP570-01 update includes modifications of the following items: • Defines and establishes the maintenance responsibility for the connection point with a public sewer to be the City's. This modification was done in an effort to protect and prolong the life of the Public Sewer. By only allowing City forces to maintain the public sewers at the connection point and the initial one foot of laterals, the City will control the integrity of the connection. • Identifies City forces as an option to repair the private sewer lateral, on behalf of the property owner, for a set fee amount listed in the master fee schedule. This existing fee of about $10,000 is currently used for all new connections. This fee will be updated periodically to ensure all costs are fully recovered. • Incorporates the document entitled "Sewer Lateral Replacement Process" to help guide those property owners who would like to repair the private sewer lateral through the use of a qualified contractor. • City forces may no longer take actions to unblock private sewer laterals. City forces may only intervene if a street tree root was the cause of the blockage. • The property owner shall have the burden of proving that a stoppage is caused by a street tree through the following methods: a) excavation of the root from its origin to the point of intrusion City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 4 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarTM File#: 14-0285, Item#: 3. in the lateral; or b) written confirmation from a certified arborist based on analysis of a root sample that has been extracted. • When the stoppage is determined to be caused by a street tree, the following table will be consulted: Location Action Stoppage or the need City will cause the work to be done and pay for repair/replacement for valid expenses incurred by property owner is in Sewer Lateral in determining the location of stoppage-need for repair/replacement.

Council Policy 576-05 In an effort to align the related Council Policies, CP576-05 Trees Preservation (Attachment 3), needs to be amended as a part of this exercise. CP576-05 amendment (Attachment 4), provides modified language to only reference CP570-01 for any sewer lateral issue. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations section 18704.2 (a)(1), is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 4 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0285, Item#: 3. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods, and a Connected Community. This amendment establishes clarity, provides direction, and reinforces the responsibility of the residents for maintaining their private wastewater assets within the right-of-way and easements. The clarification of this Policy will serve to keep our neighborhoods strong as it seeks to focus Staff's effort on minimizing sewer spills by preserving and restoring City owned wastewater infrastructure. Our community will grow stronger and become more connected by clearly communicating the responsibility of both the City and residents. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no direct impact to the General Fund. Sufficient Sewer Funds are available in the current sewer rehabilitation and maintenance budgets for Public Works to implement these clarifications and minor policy changes. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT Regular ongoing maintenance will be budgeted from the Sewer Service Revenue Fund. Therefore there is no direct impact to the General Fund. ATTACHMENTS 1.

COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUBJECT: Sewer -Maintenance POLICY EFFECTIVE NUMBER DATE PAGE 570-01 1 of 4 ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 4377 TDATED: 4/18/1967 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 9556 (4/10/1979); Minute Action (02/21/1984); Resolution No. 2014- xxxxx (x/2014) BACKGROUND City established a Sewer Lateral Policy ("Policy") in April of 1979, which has been amended by various minute actions and resolutions. The Policy established that maintenance of sewer laterals is the responsibility of the owner of the property that the Sewer Lateral serves. The maintenance of public sewer mains and appurtenances, such as manholes, however, remains the sole responsibility of the City. Recent review of the Policy identified certain terms included in the Policy that needed clarification. It is the intent of this revised policy to clarify the terms and reinforce the intent of the existing Policy. PURPOSE To establish a policy related to the maintenance of sewer laterals. DEFINITIONS (see exhibit"A") 1) "Sewer Lateral" means: a four-inch, six-inch or eight-inch diameter, privately maintained sewer constructed from its Connection Point with a Public Sewer across public property to the boundary of such public property so as to provide sewer service to building(s) or structure(s) situated upon an individual parcel of record" (MC 13.04.010 T) 2) "Connection with the Building" means: a four-inch, six-inch or eight-inch diameter sewer constructed from the boundary of public property, easement or right of way to the point where said sewer enters the building it serves. 3) "Connection Point with a Public Sewer" means: that portion of the sewer lateral that extends one foot from the outside of the Public Sewer. 4) "Public Sewer" means: sewer owned and operated by the city which is a tributary to treatment or reclamation facilities operated or utilized by the City" (MC 13.04.010 P) 5) "Property Line Cleanout" means: privately maintained ceanout located on private property adjacent to (normally within 2-3 feet of) a property line that serves as maintenance access to the Sewer Lateral. 6) "Maintenance" means: the cleaning, servicing, repairing and/or replacing sewer-related facilities. 7 "Street Tree" means: tree, bush or any type of plant that is located within the publ,ic right of COUNCIL POLICY CITY OF CHULA VISTA SUBJECT: Sewer -Maintenance POLICY EFFECTIVE NUMBER DATE PAGE 570-01 2 of 4 ADOPTED BY: Resolution No. 4377 DATED: 4/18/1967 AMENDED BY: Resolution No. 9556 (4/10/1979); Minute Action (02/21/1984); Resolution No. 2014- xxxxx (x/2014) way, belonging to and being maintained by the City. POLICY The following sewer lateral maintenance policy is hereby adopted by the City Council. 1. Maintenance of the Sewer Lateral from the Connection with a Public Sewer to the point were said Sewer Lateral enters the building it serves and beyond shall be the responsibility of the property owner and performed at the property owner's sole expense. 2. If a stoppage occurs, the property owner, at the property owner's sole cost, but subject to reimbursement in accordance with this policy, shall be responsible for determining the location and cause of said stoppage. 3. The location of the stoppage shall be determined by a licensed plumber using Closed Circuit Televising (CCTV). 4. If stoppage is determined to be in the Public Sewer, in the Connection Point with a Public Sewer or caused by a Street Tree, property owner shall notify the City within 48 hours from the time the location of the stoppage is identified. 5. The property owner shall have the burden of proving that a stoppage is caused by a Street Tree through the following methods: a) Excavation of the root from its origin to the point of intrusion in the lateral or b)Written confirmation from a certified arborist based on analysis of a root sample has been extracted. If a stoppage is determined to be caused by a Street Tree, the stoppage shall be resolved in the manner identified in Table 1. 6. If City staff concurs with the licensed plumber using CCTV that the stoppage is located in the Public Sewer, in the Connection Point with a Public Sewer or caused by a Street Tree, the property owner may submit invoices identifying the costs incurred to locate and clear the stoppage to the City for evaluation. City will reimburse the property owner for any reasonable costs incurred. 7. If stoppage is caused by a unlawful discharge, as defined in MC 13.12.010, in the Connection with a Public Sewer or in the Public Sewer, City forces or City contractors will clear stoppage and charge the property owner for all costs associated with the clearing/removing the stoppage. 8.

CONSIDERATION OF THE FINAL SECOND TIER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR 10- 04) FOR THE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN AND TENTATIVE MAP RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT; ADOPTING A STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS; ADOPTING A MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM AND CERTIFYING THE FINAL SECOND TIER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR 10- 04/SCH 2010061090) FOR THE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN AND TENTATIVE MAP PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT RECOMMENDED ACTION Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolution. SUMMARY In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Second Tier Environmental Impact Report (EIR), CEQA Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been prepared for the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and Tentative Map (TM). In accordance with Section 15105(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Draft Village 9 EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review from January 17, 2014 to March 3, 2014. Written comments were received during the public review period, and responses to the comments are included in the Final Village 9 EIR. This staff report discusses the general content of the Village 9 Final EIR, CEQA Findings of Fact, and MMRP. The City Council must consider the Village 9 Final EIR before taking any action on the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Final Second Tier EIR for the Village 9 SPA and TM has been prepared in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On May 14, 2014, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Final EIR for Village 9. No members of the public commented on the Village 9 Final EIR during the public hearing. Planning Commissioners raised questions related to traffic impacts along Olympic Parkway and the City's Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) program as it pertains to the timing of the Main Street connection from Heritage Road to La Media Road. City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. Planning Commission brought forth a motion to approve a resolution recommending that the City Council certify the Village 9 EIR with an added recommendation that the City take action to mitigate traffic impacts in advance of the mitigation proposed in the Village 9 Final EIR. This recommendation was a variation of staff's recommendation. The Planning Commission vote (3-1-2-1) was not sufficient to carry the motion. In an attempt to seek a favorable majority vote, Planning Commission's Acting-Chair made a motion to reconsider staff's original recommendation to approve the Village 9 Final EIR. The subsequent motion was not seconded and therefore failed. Planning Commission's action effectively results in a recommendation to City Council that City Council not approve the resolution certifying the Final Second Tier Environmental Impact Report (EIR 10-04) for the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan and Tentative Map; adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations; and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. DISCUSSION Otay Land Company, LLC has submitted an application requesting approvals for a Village 9 SPA Plan and TM (collectively, the Project). The Village 9 EIR evaluates the environmental effects of the Project. The Project proposes development of a maximum of 3,734 multi-family and 266 single-family residential units; a maximum of 1,500,000 square feet (SF) of non-residential use; 27.5 acres of urban and passive parks; 19.8 acres for elementary school sites; 5.0 acres for community purpose facility uses; 9.6 acres of open space; and 26.1 acres of street right-of-way. In addition, 50 acres is proposed for dedication to the City of Chula Vista for a future university. A 30-foot wide off-site utility corridor is proposed that would extend south from the site. The corridor would include a sewer line that will connect to the existing Salt Creek Sewer Trunk Line, a storm drain to direct drainage to the Otay River, and a utility road on the southern portion of the corridor for utility access. The SPA Plan and proposed development is consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan (GP) and Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP). CEQA Compliance The Village 9 Final EIR has been prepared in accordance with CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the City of Chula Vista's Environmental Review Procedures. Pursuant to Section 21067 of CEQA and Section 15367 and Sections 15050 through 15053 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Chula Vista is the Lead Agency under whose authority this EIR has been prepared. Because of the size, complexity of issues and extended buildout period of the development of Otay Ranch, both the planning and environmental documentation associated with Otay Ranch were tiered from the general to the specific. The first tier of planning and approvals included approval of the Final Otay Ranch GDP/Sub-regional Plan (SRP) and associated Program EIR (90-01). EIR 90-01 was prepared and certified jointly by the City and County of San Diego in 1993. EIR 90-01 was certified with the intent that the individual SPA planning projects within Otay Ranch would be reviewed as "second-tier" projects pursuant to Section 15152 of the CEQA Guidelines. Under such tiering principles, the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM are analyzed at a second-tier level of review (project level). The Village 9 Final EIR incorporates by reference and serves as a second-tier EIR to EIR 90- 01 as well as its associated Findings of Fact and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. In 2005, the City completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan (2005 GPU), which included amendments to the Otay Ranch GDP. Although the 2005 GPU included land use designations for the entire City, the City Council did not take action on the proposed land use designations and polices in the "Deferral Area," which included several village sites, including Village 9. In 2013, a subsequent General Plan Amendment/General Development Plan Amendment (2013 GPA/GDPA) was approved that established land use designations for the Deferral Area, and re-designated land uses in the surrounding area. The 2013 GPA/GDPA land use change area includes Village 8, Village 9, and a portion of the University Park and Innovation District. The 2013 GPA/GDPA included policy revisions to the 2005 GPU/GDPA, revisions to the General Plan Circulation Plan, reconfiguration of village boundaries, and land use designation amendments. A Supplemental EIR (SEIR 09-01) was prepared and certified for the 2013 GPA/GDPA in accordance with CEQA and the City's Environmental Procedures. The 2013 SEIR (SEIR 09-01) was a supplemental environmental analysis that updated the 2005 GPU EIR (EIR 05-01). As a supplemental environmental document, SEIR 09-01 only included environmental analysis of those issues that were affected by the updated policies and land use designations in the 2013 GPA/GDPA. As such, the Village 9 EIR also incorporates by reference and serves as a second-tier EIR to the 2005 GPU EIR (EIR 05-01) and the 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR (SEIR 09-01). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, this document has been prepared as a "Project EIR" and is "focused primarily on the changes in the environment that would result from the development" (i.e., the Project). Where environmental impacts have been determined to be potentially significant, the Village 9 Final EIR presents mitigation measures directed at reducing those adverse environmental effects. The mitigation measures proposed for the project will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effects of the project on the environment to the degree feasible, and have been included in the Village 9 MMRP. Comments on the Draft EIR The Village 9 Draft EIR was circulated for a 45-day public review period from January 17, 2014 through March 3, 2014. Letters of comment were received on the Village 9 Draft EIR from the following agencies and individuals: • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Wildlife • California Department of Transportation (Caltrans, District 11) • Native American Heritage Commission • County of San Diego - Planning and Development Services • City of San Diego • San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAL) • Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) • San Diego County Archaeological Society, Inc. Comments received during the 45-day public review period and the responses to those comments have been included in the Village 9 Final EIR (see Attachment 1). City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. None of the comments received resulted in modifications to conclusions regarding significance of impacts, or the addition of significant new information that would require recirculation of the EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. Additional Revisions to Draft EIR Staff observed minor typographical errors and inconsistencies in the Village 9 Draft EIR during the public review period. Corrections and clarifications have been made in the Village 9 Draft EIR, and the Village 9 Final EIR reflects the corrected information. None of the minor corrections and clarifications resulted in modifications to conclusions regarding significance of impacts or the addition of significant new information that would require recirculation of the EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. Findings of the Village 9 Final EIR 10-04 The Village 9 Final EIR identified direct and cumulative significant environmental effects (or "impacts") that would result from the Project. Some of these significant effects can be reduced to below significance through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Other significant effects cannot be avoided by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures or alternatives, and are considered significant and unmitigable. Summary of Environmental Impacts The following discussion contains a summary of the impact conclusions from the Village 9 Final EIR. Direct (Project) and cumulative impacts (effects from the Project and other probable future projects) which when considered together are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15130) are identified and divided into three categories: 1. Significant and Unmitigated 2. Significant and Mitigated to Less Than Significant 3. Less Than Significant Cumulative impacts are cumulatively considerable when the incremental effects of the Project are significant when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects (CEQA Guidelines Section 15065(a)(3)). 1) Significant and Unmitigated Impacts • Aesthetics/Landform Alterations - The Project would result in significant direct and cumulative impacts to the visual character and quality of the project area in that the development would permanently change the site from undeveloped rolling hills to an urban environment. City of Chula Vista Page 4 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. • Transportation/Traffic - The Project would result in a cumulative impact to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 Northbound ramps intersection. • Air Quality - The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact because construction activities and project operations would exceed the federal and state standards for criteria pollutants; and, - The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact because its development yields are not consistent with the growth projections in the current San Diego County Regional Air Quality Standard (RAQS). The current RAQS are based on the City's 2005 GPU. Thus, the Project would exceed the regional growth projects until the RAQS is updated to reflect the growth projected in the 2013 GPA/GDPA. • Noise - Implementation of the project would have the potential to result in short-term exposure to excessive noise levels generated by traffic. However, implementation of the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM would include the construction of new roadways that would reduce long- term traffic and associated traffic-generated noise on the roadways surrounding the project site. Once the build-out roadway system is complete, exposure to excessive noise levels would be less than significant. • Cultural Resources - The Project would result in a significant cumulative impact because its development would incrementally increase impacts to the historical record and cultural resources within the San Diego region. • Global Climate Change - The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact because its development would exceed the state and federal standards for ozone precursors. Ozone precursors such as nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a contributing factor in global warming. Under the context of global climate change, increased temperatures would have the potential to increase the creation of ground-level ozone in the SDAB, which could exacerbate health impacts associated with ozone. • Agriculture - The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact to Farmland of Local Importance because its development would permanently change the site from undeveloped agricultural lands to an urban environment. City of Chula Vista Page 5 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. • Public Utilities - Water Supply. The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact because long-term water supply availability cannot be guaranteed. Although the Water Supply Assessment and Verification (WSAV) for the Village 9 SPA Plan and the water supply and reliability studies from Otay Water District (OWD) identify adequate water supplies for Village 9, there is no guarantee that long-term water supply or infrastructure would be available to serve the project when needed. - Recycled Water. The Project would result in a cumulatively significant impact to recycled water supply and demand. Infrastructure improvements needed to meet long-term recycled water demand are the responsibility of OWD and outside the jurisdiction of the City. A cumulatively considerable and unavoidable impact would occur until OWD has constructed the recycled water infrastructure needed to meet regional projected recycled water demands. - Wastewater. The Project in combination with other foreseeable growth could require sewage treatment beyond the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity rights and allocated additional treatment capacity. The location and nature of any new or expanded treatment facilities, if needed in the future, have not yet been determined. In light of this, it is possible that the construction of any new or expanded treatment facilities, if needed in the future, could result in significant direct and/or cumulative impacts. - Energy Resources: The Project would result in a significant direct and cumulative impact to energy resources because of the uncertainty regarding long-term energy supply. Although City programs and policies would result in more efficient use of energy within the Project, they do not ensure that increased energy resources will be available when needed. All feasible mitigation measures have been required of the Project with respect to these impacts. Although in some instances these mitigation measures may substantially lessen these significant impacts, adoption of the measures will not fully avoid the impacts. The conclusion for significant and unmitigated impacts related to landform alteration/aesthetics, air quality, noise, water supply, and energy are consistent with the findings contained in the adopted 2005 GPU EIR (EIR 05-01) and/or 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR (SEIR 09-01). Role of the City as a Lead Agency Regarding Significant and Unmitigated Impacts As a Lead Agency, the City must make findings pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15043, 15091, and 15093 for each significant and unmitigated impact. The attached Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations have been prepared specifically for the project actions for which the City has authority to approve or carry out (see Attachment 2, Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, dated April 10, 2014). City of Chula Vista Page 6 of 10 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0286, Item#: 4. Sections 15043, 15091 and 15093 of the CEQA Guidelines state that the adverse environmental effects are considered "acceptable" and a Lead Agency can approve a project that will result in the occurrence of significant effects when, based upon substantial evidence, findings have been made that specific economic, legal, social, technological or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR, and benefits of a Proposed Project outweigh the policy of reducing or avoiding the significant environmental effects of the project. 2) Significant and Mitigated to Less than Significant Significant impacts were identified in the following environmental issue areas, and mitigation measures were required in the EIR to reduce the impacts to less than significant. A MMRP (see Attachment 1) has been prepared to ensure that the mitigation measures will be implemented in accordance with specified monitoring requirements. • Land Use and Planning - Mitigation Measures 5.1-1, 5.1-2 and 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 would reduce potentially significant impacts to land use compatibility and conflicts with Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) or Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) to less than significant. No significant effects were identified for conflicts with land use plans, policies, and regulations. • Aesthetics/Landform Alterations - Mitigation Measures 5.2-1 through 5.2-4 would reduce potentially significant impacts to scenic resources, lighting and glare, shadow and wind, and Iandform alteration to less than significant. No significant direct effects were identified for scenic vistas and consistency with visual character policies. • Transportation - Mitigation Measures 5.3-1 through 5.3-21, and 5.13-2 through 5.13-4 would reduce potentially significant impacts to traffic and level of service standards, congestion management, and air traffic patterns to less than significant.

DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject to this action. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Village 9 Project supports the Economic Vitality goal, particularly City Initiative 2.1.3 (Promote and support development of quality master-planned communities). The Village 9 EIR supports the Village 9 implementation documents (the SPA Plan and TM). Approval of those implementation level documents will assure the development of quality master- planned communities. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The processing costs for the SPA Plan, Tentative Map, Environmental Impact Report and all supporting documents were funded by a developer deposit account. This account funded city staff and consultants representing the City concerning Village 9. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The ongoing costs for implementing the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program will be funded by a developer deposit account. This account will fund City staff and consultants as necessary. ATTACHMENTS 1. Final EIR 10-04 (4 bound volumes or CD available in the Office of the City Clerk) a. Comments and Responses b.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of approximately 323 acres of land in Otay Ranch known as Village 9, located entirely within the city of Chula Vista, California, near the southeasterly edge of the city limits. Chula Vista is located in San Diego County, approximately seven miles southeast of the downtown area of the city of San Diego, and approximately seven miles north of the U.S./Mexico international border. Under the implementation program for the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP), the GDP defines Village 9 as an urban village. The GDP states, "Urban villages are adjacent to existing urban development and are planned for transit oriented development with higher densities and mixed uses in the village cores." The GDP recognizes that a portion of the land use within Village 9 will be designated as University and that the remainder of the village would contain an urban center, single-family and multi-family residential units, and a village core or town center containing mixed-use, community purpose facilities, a transit station, an elementary school, a town square, and affordable housing. Village 9 has been planned in transects to provide organization for development that focuses activity within the Town Center, transitioning into residential opportunities and rural open space at the edges. The most intense development 2 would be concentrated north of the Town Center in the Urban Center, with building heights and density gradually decreasing to the south, away from the Town Center. The proposed land uses and proposed maximum residential unit yield for Village 9 are provided below in Table 1.

The corridor would be 30 feet wide, including a 20-foot sewer corridor to connect to existing sewer facilities, and a 10-foot storm drain corridor to direct drainage to Otay River. A 12-foot paved utility access road would provide access to the southern portion of the off-site utilities from the existing Salt Creek maintenance road. The northern portion of the sewer and storm drain corridor adjacent to the southern portion of the Village 9 development area will not have an access road due to the steep slopes that occur in the area. Therefore, direct access to the utility maintenance road would only be provided from the Salt Creek maintenance road. The Village 9 circulation system would provide a system of roadway and trail corridors to support both vehicular and non-vehicular modes of transportation. This system includes the extension of existing and planned roads, trails, and transit from adjacent villages as well as internal systems to serve the project site and a connection to the greenbelt system. Streets in the community are designed as "complete" streets, considering all modes of transportation by providing vehicular travel lanes, bike lanes or bike routes, sidewalks, and transit lanes where appropriate. The SPA Plan includes plans to provide adequate infrastructure to the proposed development, including water distribution, recycled water distribution, sewer service, and storm water collection. 3 The Tentative Map (TM) for Village 9 details how the utilization plan would be implemented. The map includes the various land uses, proposed grading, and street layout. In addition, a TM depicts proposed utilities, easements and conceptual trail design. DISCRETIONARY ACTIONS The discretionary actions to be taken by the Chula Vista City Council include the following: • Adoption of the Village 9 SPA Plan and associated documents including but not limited to: — Village 9 SPA Plan — Air Quality Improvement Plan — Agricultural Plan — Non-Renewable Energy Conservation Plan — Preserve Edge Plan — Fire Protection Plan — Affordable Housing Plan — Water Conservation Plan — Parks, Recreation, Open Space Master Plan — Emergency Disaster Plan — Public Facility Finance Plan • Approval of a tentative map to establish the location of development and open space lots and identify the infrastructure requirements for Village 9. • Approval of a development agreement amendment including conditions of approval for development within the Village 9 SPA Plan area. • Certification of a Final EIR and adoption of a mitigation monitoring and reporting program. Future development proposed in accordance with the project would require discretionary approvals. Such future discretionary actions are anticipated to include (but are not be limited to) the following: Design Review Permits, Conditional Use Permits, Final Maps, Subarea Master Plans, Building Permits, and Grading Permits. While future discretionary actions will require future environmental review, once certified, this EIR can be relied upon for relevant environment analysis. The City Council will determine whether the Final EIR is complete and in compliance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines as part of the certification process. 4 PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES As specified in the Final EIR, the primary goals and objectives of the project are as follows: 1. Create a recognizable "place" that is well designed to provide 500,000 to 1.5 million square feet of office and retail space in three unique and attractive urban districts accommodating cultural and social diversity. 2. Develop distinctive design standards and invest in design excellence to create inspiring and memorable places; emphasize the appearance and qualities of the public realm; create streetscapes, pathways, and public spaces of beauty, interest, and functional benefit to pedestrians. 3. Encourage a development pattern that promotes orderly growth, prevents urban sprawl, and promotes effective resource management, while implementing the GDP goals of a strong relationship between Village 9, the Eastern Urban Center, and the planned university. 4. Protect and enhance the natural environment and increase the quality of life. Design neighborhoods with compact and multi-dimensional land use patterns that ensure a mix of uses and joint optimization of transportation modes to minimize the impact of cars, promote walking and bicycling, and provide access to employment, education, recreation, entertainment, shopping, and services. 5. Create an appropriately scaled and economically healthy Town Center. Include a wide range of commercial, residential, cultural, civic, and recreational uses. The Town Center should contain businesses that serve the daily needs of nearby residents and employees including students, faculty, and Regional Technology Park employees. 6. Establish a pedestrian and transit-oriented village with an intense, vibrant Town Center to reduce reliance on the automobile and promote walking and the use of bicycles, buses, and regional transit. 7. Encourage community development in mixed use and compact pedestrian oriented forms to accommodate all income levels and lifestyles. 8. Foster a compact form facilitated by "form-based planning," resulting in efficient infrastructure investments and advanced opportunities to provide socially diverse housing. 9. Promote jobs that match the skills of existing and future residents through provision of housing opportunities and choices and by providing an opportunity for the City to attract a university or related uses by dedication of land for such purposes. Retain and recruit a skilled and motivated workforce to ensure economic stability into the future and support university development by providing attainable housing opportunities at increased densities. 10. Encourage diverse, informal centers of creativity, learning, and interaction that support the University. Focus community design on a manner of life and civic culture that embraces and fosters life-long learning. This shall take place in traditional educational institutions as well as diverse venues such as restaurants, arts, and cultural locations. This includes public and private places of exceptional design and open spaces that inspire and connect with the natural environment through features that spark creativity. Identify and promote business clusters that complement the University and the Regional Technology Park. 5 11. Promote synergistic uses and graceful transitions within the SPA Plan area and between the SPA Plan area and neighborhoods of adjacent SPA areas to balance activities, services, and facilities. Integrate Village 9 with existing Otay Ranch development, the University, the Regional Technology Park, and connectivity to the Greenbelt trail system. 12. Implement the goals, objectives and policies of the Chula Vista General Plan, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, the Chula Vista Greenbelt Master Plan, and the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan. 13. Encourage the interactivity of a wide range of people, promote community diversity, and enrich the human experience by providing a broad variety of public spaces and housing types and styles that appeal to all ages, incomes, and lifestyles. 14. Establish a plan that is fiscally responsible and viable with consideration of existing and anticipated economic conditions. IV. BACKGROUND Otay Ranch is a partially developed master-planned community that proposes a broad range of residential, commercial, retail, and industrial development interwoven with civic and community uses, such as libraries, parks, and schools. The community is 23,000 acres in size, and includes an open space preserve system consisting of approximately 11,375 acres. Village 9 is one of the designated fourteen villages within the Otay Ranch GDP area. The GDP was most recently amended in 2013. The GDP establishes land plans, design guidelines, objectives, policies, and implementation measures that apply to all portions of Otay Ranch while supporting a balance of housing, shops, workplaces, schools, parks, civic facilities, and open spaces. The majority of development is intended to be clustered in villages, with conveniently located features and well- defined edges such as the Chula Vista greenbelt, open spaces, and wildlife corridors. The proposed SPA Plan is a document that refines and implements the land use plans, goals, and objectives of the Otay Ranch GDP for the development of Village 9. Under the implementation program for the Otay Ranch GDP, review and City Council approval of SPA plans is required before final development entitlements can be considered. V. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS For purposes of CEQA and the findings set forth below, the administrative record of the City Council decision on the environmental analysis of this project shall consist of the following: • The Notice of Preparation and all other public notices issued by the City in conjunction with the project; • The Draft and Final EIR for the project (EIR #10-04), including appendices and technical reports; • All comments submitted by agencies or members of the public during the public comment period on the Draft EIR; 6 • All reports, studies, memoranda, maps, staff reports, or other planning documents relating to the project prepared by the City, consultants to the City, or responsible or trustee agencies with respect to the City's compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the City's actions on the project; • All documents, comments, and correspondence submitted by members of the public and public agencies in connection with this project, in addition to comments on the EIR for the project; • All documents submitted to the City by other public agencies or members of the public in connection with the EIR, up through the close of the public hearing; • Minutes and verbatim transcripts of all workshops, the scoping meeting, other public meetings, and public hearings held by the City, or videotapes where transcripts are not available or adequate; • Any documentary or other evidence submitted at workshops, public meetings, and public hearings for this project; • All findings and resolutions adopted by City decision makers in connection with this project, and all documents cited or referred to therein; and • Matters of common knowledge to the City which the members of the City Council considered regarding this project, including federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and including, but not limited to, the following: — Chula Vista General Plan; — General Plan Update Final EIR (EIR #05-01, SCH #2004081066) and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; — General Plan Amendment/Otay Ranch General Development Plan Amendment and Supplemental EIR (SEIR 09-01, SCH #2004081066) — Relevant portions of the Zoning Code of the City; — City of Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan; and — Any other materials required to be in the record of proceedings by Public Resources Code Section 21167.6, subdivision (e). The custodian of the documents comprising the record of proceedings is Donna Norris, City Clerk, whose office is located at 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, California 91910. The City Council has relied on all of the documents listed above in reaching its decision on the project, even if every document was not formally presented to the City Council or City staff as part of the City files generated in connection with the project. Without exception, any documents set forth above but not found in the project files fall into two categories. Many of them reflect prior planning or legislative decisions with which the City Council was aware in approving the project (see City of Santa Cruz v. Local Agency Formation Commission (1978) 76 Cal.App.3d 381, 391-392 [142 Cal.Rptr. 873]; Dominey v. Department of Personnel Administration (1988) 205 Cal.App.3d 729, 738, fn. 6 [252 Cal. Rptr. 620]). Other documents influenced the expert advice provided to City staff or consultants, who then provided advice to the City Council. For that reason, such documents form part of the underlying factual basis for the City Council's decisions relating to the adoption of the project (see Pub. Resources Code Section 21167.6, Subd. (e)(10); Browing-Ferris Industries v. City Council of City of San Jose (1986) 181 Cal. 7 App.3d 852, 866 [226 Cal.Rptr. 575]; Stanislaus Audubon Society, Inc. v. County of Stanislaus (1995) 33 Cal.App.4t" 144, 153, 155 [39 Cal.Rptr.2d 54]). VI. FINDINGS REQUIRED UNDER CEQA Public Resources Code Section 21002 provides that "public agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of such projects." (emphasis added.) The same statute states that the procedures required by CEQA "are intended to assist public agencies in systematically identifying both the significant effects of proposed projects and the feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures which will avoid or substantially lessen such significant effects" (emphasis added). Section 21002 goes on to state that "in the event [that] specific economic, social, or other conditions make infeasible such project alternatives or such mitigation measures, individual projects may be approved in spite of one or more significant effects." The mandate and principles announced in Public Resources Code Section 21002 are implemented, in part, through the requirement that agencies must adopt findings before approving projects for which EIRs are required (see Pub. Resources Code Section 21081, Subd. (a); CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)). For each significant environmental effect identified in an EIR for a proposed project, the approving agency must issue a written finding reaching one or more of three permissible conclusions. The first such finding is that "[c]hanges or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(1)). The second permissible finding is that "[s]uch changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(2)). The third potential finding is that "[s]pecific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(3)). Public Resources Code Section 21061.1 defines "feasible" to mean "capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social and technological factors." CEQA Guidelines Section 15364 adds another factor: "legal" considerations (see also Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 Cal.3d 553, 565 [276 Cal.Rptr. 410]). The concept of"feasibility" also encompasses the question of whether a particular alternative or mitigation measure promotes the underlying goals and objectives of a project (see City of Del Mar v. City of San Diego (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 410, 417 [83 Cal.Rptr. 898]). " `[F]easibility' under CEQA encompasses `desirability' to the extent that desirability is based on a reasonable balancing of the relevant economic, environmental, social, and technological factors" (Ibid.; see also Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Assn. v. City of Oakland (1993) 23 Cal.AppAth 704, 715 [29 Cal.Rptr.2d 182]). The CEQA Guidelines do not define the difference between "avoiding" a significant environmental effect and merely "substantially lessening" such an effect. The City must 8 therefore glean the meaning of these terms from the other contexts in which the terms are used. Public Resources Code Section 21081, on which CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 is based, uses the term "mitigate" rather than "substantially lessen." The CEQA Guidelines therefore equate "mitigating" with "substantially lessening." Such an understanding of the statutory term is consistent with the policies underlying CEQA, which include the policy that "public agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of such projects" (Pub. Resources Code Section 21002). For purposes of these findings, the term "avoid" refers to the effectiveness of one or more mitigation measures to reduce an otherwise significant effect to a less than significant level. In contrast, the term "substantially lessen" refers to the effectiveness of such measure or measures to substantially reduce the severity of a significant effect, but not to reduce that effect to a less than significant level. These interpretations appear to be mandated by the holding in Laurel Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 Cal.App.3d 515, 519-527 [147 Cal.Rptr. 842], in which the Court of Appeal held that an agency had satisfied its obligation to substantially lessen or avoid significant effects by adopting numerous mitigation measures, not all of which rendered the significant impacts in question less than significant. Although CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 requires only that approving agencies specify that a particular significant effect is "avoid[ed] or substantially lessen[ed]," these findings, for purposes of clarity, in each case will specify whether the effect in question has been reduced to a less than significant level or has simply been substantially lessened but remains significant. Moreover, although Section 15091, read literally, does not require findings to address environmental effects that an EIR identifies as merely "potentially significant," these findings will nevertheless fully account for all such effects identified in the Final EIR. In short, CEQA requires that the lead agency adopt mitigation measures or alternatives, where feasible, to substantially lessen or avoid significant environmental impacts that would otherwise occur. Project modifications or alternatives are not required, however, where such changes are infeasible or where the responsibility for modifying the project lies with some other agency (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a), (b)). With respect to a project for which significant impacts are not avoided or substantially lessened either through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures or a feasible environmentally superior alternative, a public agency, after adopting proper findings, may nevertheless approve the project if the agency first adopts a statement of overriding considerations setting forth the specific reasons why the agency found that the project's "benefits" rendered "acceptable" its "unavoidable adverse environmental effects" (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15093 and 15043, Subd. (b); see also Pub. Resources Code Section 21081, Subd. (b)). The California Supreme Court has stated that, "[t]he wisdom of approving...any development project, a delicate task which requires a balancing of interests, is necessarily left to the sound discretion of the local officials and their constituents who are responsible for such decisions. The law as we interpret and apply it simply requires that those decisions be informed, and therefore balanced" (Goleta, supra, 52 Cal.3d 553, 576). 9 VII. LEGAL EFFECTS OF FINDINGS To the extent that these findings conclude that proposed mitigation measures outlined in the Final EIR are feasible and have not been modified, superseded, or withdrawn, the City (or "decision makers") hereby binds itself and any other responsible parties, including the applicant and its successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as "Applicant'), to implement those measures. These findings, in other words, are not merely informational or hortatory, but constitute a binding set of obligations that will come into effect when the City adopts the resolution(s) approving the project. The adopted mitigation measures are express conditions of approval. Other requirements are referenced in the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP) adopted concurrently with these findings and will be effectuated through the process of implementing the project. The mitigation measures referenced in the MMRP are adopted concurrently with these findings, and will be effectuated both through the process of implementing the Village 9 SPA Plan and through the process of constructing and implementing the project. VIII. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM As required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, Subd. (a)(1), the City, in adopting these findings, also concurrently adopts a MMRP. The program is designed to ensure that during project implementation, the applicant and any other responsible parties comply with the feasible mitigation measures identified below. The program is described in the document entitled Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. The City will use the MMRP to track compliance with project mitigation measures. The MMRP will be available for the public to review by request during the mitigation compliance period, which is on-going following project approval through buildout of the project. The MMRP is dynamic in that it will undergo changes as additional mitigation measures are identified and additional conditions of approval are placed on the project throughout the project approval process. The monitoring program will serve the dual purpose of verifying completion of the mitigation measures for the project and generating information on the effectiveness of the mitigation measures to guide future decisions. The program includes monitoring team qualifications, specific monitoring activities, a reporting system, and criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures. 10 IX. SIGNIFICANT DIRECT AND INDIRECT EFFECTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES SUMMARY OF EFFECTS The Final EIR identified a number of direct and indirect significant environmental effects (or "impacts") resulting from the project. Some of these significant effects can be fully avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures. Others cannot be fully mitigated or avoided by the adoption of feasible mitigation measures or feasible environmentally superior alternatives. However, these effects are outweighed by overriding considerations set forth in Section XII below. This Section (IX) presents in greater detail the City Council's findings with respect to the environmental effects of the project. The project will result in direct and/or indirect significant environmental changes with regard to the following issues: land use and planning; aesthetics/Iandform alteration; transportation/traffic; air quality; noise; biological resources; cultural and paleontological resources; geology and soils; public services; global climate change; hydrology and water quality; agricultural resources; hazards and hazardous materials; and public utilities. These significant environmental changes or impacts are discussed in the Final EIR in Chapter 1, Table 1-2, and Chapter 5, Environmental Impact Analysis. No significant effects were identified for housing and population (Final EIR, Table 1-2). Impacts pertaining to mineral resources were determined to be not significant during the scoping process and, therefore, were not addressed in the EIR. IMPACTS THAT CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE The City, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR, the appendices to the EIR, and the administrative record, finds the project which would mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen to below a level of significance the following potentially significant environmental effects identified in the EIR in the following categories: land use and planning; aesthetics/Iandform alteration; transportation/traffic; air quality; noise; biological resources; cultural and paleontological resources; geology and soils; public services; hydrology and water quality; agricultural resources; hazards and hazardous materials; and public utilities. A brief summary of each environmental topic that would be mitigated to below a level of significance is provided below. Land Use and Planning Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to land use compatibility and conflicts with Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP) or Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP). No significant effects were identified for conflicts with land use plans, policies, and regulations. Aesthetics/Landform Alteration Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to lighting and glare and Iandform alteration. No significant direct effects were identified for scenic vistas, scenic resources, and consistency with visual character policies. Significant and unavoidable 11 impacts associated with visual character and quality are discussed under the Significant and Unavoidable Impacts heading, below. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Transportation/Traffic Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to traffic and level of service standards, congestion management, and air traffic patterns. No significant effects were identified for road safety, emergency access, and consistency with transportation policies. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Air Quality Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to sensitive receptors due to exposure to toxic air contaminants. No significant effects were identified for objectionable odors and consistency with air quality policies. Significant and unavoidable impacts associated with air quality violations and conflicts with air quality plans are discussed under the Significant and Unavoidable Impacts heading, below. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Noise Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts related to excessive noise levels, short-term permanent increase in noise level, and temporary increases in ambient noise levels. No significant effects were identified for excessive groundborne vibration, long-term permanent increase in ambient noise, aircraft noise, and consistency with noise polices. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Biological Resources Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to sensitive plant and wildlife species; riparian habitat and other sensitive natural communities; federally protected wetlands; and conflicts with local policies, ordinances, HCP, or NCCP. No significant effects were identified for wildlife movement corridors and nursery sites. Cultural and Paleontological Resources Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to archaeological resources, human remains, and paleontological resources. No significant effects were identified for historical resources and consistency with cultural resource policies. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Geology and Soils Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to exposure to seismic related hazards, soil erosion or topsoil loss, soil stability, and expansive soils. No significant effects were identified for consistency with geotechnical policies and waste water disposal systems. 12 Public Services Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to fire protection service standard, consistency with fire and emergency medical service policies, police service standard, consistency with police service policies, school facilities, schools sitting, library service standard, deterioration of parks and recreation facilities, and parks and recreation standards. No significant effects were identified for fire and emergency medical facilities, police service facilities, consistency with school policies, library facilities, consistency with library policies, new recreation facilities, and consistency with park policies. Hydrology and Water Quality Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to water quality standards, erosion or siltation, surface runoff, exceed drainage capacity, and degradation of water quality. No significant effects were identified for groundwater supplies and recharge, 100-year flood hazards, consistency with water quality policies, flooding, and inundation. Agricultural Resources Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to land use zoning conflicts. No significant effects were identified for consistency with agricultural resource policies. Significant and unavoidable impacts associated with loss of farmland are discussed under the Significant and Unavoidable Impacts heading, below. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts related to accidental release of hazardous materials, hazards to future schools, airport hazards, consistency with hazard policies, and historic use of pesticides. No significant effects were identified for transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials; existing hazardous material sites; emergency response and evacuation plans; and wildland fires. Public Utilities Absent mitigation, approval of the project will result in potentially significant impacts to compliance with city-wide water supply thresholds, adequate wastewater facilities, and new recycled water facilities. No significant effects were identified for new water treatment facilities, consistency with water supply policies, consistency with City wastewater engineering standards, consistency with wastewater polices, sufficient landfill capacity, solid waste regulations, consistency with solid waste policies, consistency with recycled water policies, wasteful use of energy, and consistency with energy policies. Significant and unavoidable impacts associated with long-term water supply, new wastewater treatment facilities, and long-term energy supply are discussed under the Significant and Unavoidable Impacts heading, below. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. 13 DETAILED ISSUES DISCUSSION FOR IMPACTS THAT CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE Land Use and Planning Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to land use and planning; if it would: 1. Physically divide an established community (incompatibility with adjacent and surrounding uses). 2. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community habitat conservation plan. Impact: Land Use Compatibility A significant land use compatibility impact would occur if the on-site City of San Diego water lines would not be relocated before development of Village 9. Therefore, impacts associated with waterline easements are considered significant (Final EIR Section 5.1.4). Explanation Several water transmission lines traverse the project site that are owned, operated, and maintained by the City of San Diego. These pipelines would not provide water to the project, but the SPA Plan and TM would construct development above ground where these pipelines are currently located. The construction of the proposed development would impede the availability of access to these pipeline easements. The project proposes to relocate these pipelines into the future public rights of way within Otay Valley Road. If relocation of these water transmission pipelines did not occur prior to construction of the proposed development, a conflict with the existing City of San Diego waterline easements would occur. Therefore, a potentially significant impact would occur (Final EIR Section 5.1.3). Mitigation Measures 5.1-1 Waterline Agreement. Prior to approval of the first final map, the applicant shall provide evidence, satisfactory to the City Engineer, that the: i. Applicant has entered into an agreement with the City of San Diego to relocate the City of San Diego waterlines within Village 9 to a location approved by both the City of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista. ii. City of San Diego has abandoned any water main easements not needed as a consequence of the relocation of the City of San Diego waterlines within Village 9. 5.1-2 Waterline Relocation. Prior to issuance of the first grading permit within Village 9, the applicant shall relocate the City of San Diego waterlines to the satisfaction of the City of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista. 14 Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.1-1 and 5.1-2 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to land use compatibility to a less than significant level. Impact: Conflicts with HCPs or NCCPs The project would have the potential to result in impacts to sensitive species that would conflict with the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan. Additionally, the project would have significant impacts related to biological resources management unless the Otay Ranch regional open space is preserved proportionally and concurrently with development, in accordance with the provisions of the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP) (Final EIR Sections 5.1.4 and 5.6.4). Explanation The Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch RMP are the habitat conservation and community habitat conservation plans applicable to Village 9. The design of Village 9 is consistent with the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch RMP through specific adherence to conditions of coverage and mitigation/conveyance requirements for covered projects, as defined in Section 7.6 of the Chula Vista MSCP, and the Otay Ranch RMP. The infrastructure that would traverse the Preserve is consistent with the requirements and criteria of the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and would not conflict with the adopted MSCP. The MSCP siting criteria were developed for the implementation of planned and future facilities within the Preserve, including infrastructure associated with Village 9. The proposed facilities would not significantly impact MSCP narrow endemic species with implementation of the mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 identified in Section 5.6, Biological Resources in the EIR. These measures would implement the conservation strategies of the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. Additionally, implementation of the Preserve Edge Plan, Agricultural Plan, and Fire Protection Plan would ensure the development in Village 9 would be consistent with the Otay Ranch RMP. Therefore, potential land use impacts under this threshold would be considered less than significant (Final EIR Sections 5.1.3 and 5.6.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 would reduce impacts to HCPs and NCCPs (listed below under the Biological Resources heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.6.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts 15 related to conflicts with the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and Otay Ranch RMP to a less than significant level. Aesthetics/Landform Alteration Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to aesthetics/la ndform alteration if it would: 1. Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. 2. Alter areas of sensitive landforms and grade steep slopes that may be visible from future development and roadways that negatively detract from the prevailing aesthetic character of the site or surrounding area. Impact: Lighting and Glare New sources of nighttime lighting may be incompatible with surrounding development and inconsistent with applicable regulations. Potential impacts associated with light, shadow, and wind cannot be determined until the location, size, and orientation of future buildings are established. Therefore, impacts associated with lighting and shade/shadow are considered potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.2.4). Explanation Development-specific photometric analyses are necessary for more light-intensive land uses (parks, mixed-use residential, commercial, multi-family residential, and CPF uses) in order to ensure that the project would comply with all applicable regulations and be compatible with surrounding land uses. Impacts related to nighttime lighting would be potentially significant until such analyses are prepared (Final EIR Section 5.2.3). Buildings heights in Village 9 would be allowed to be up to 15 stories, or 215 feet, in height in the Urban Center, and four stories tall, or 60 feet, in the Urban Neighborhood and Town Center; and three stories, or 45 feet, in height in the Neighborhood Center Zone, as defined in Section 3.3 of the SPA Plan, Zone Standards. As such, there is a potential for streets, structures and public places in the Urban Center, Urban Neighborhood, Town Center, and Neighborhood Center Zones to be shadowed by an adjacent building or buildings depending on certain conditions. In addition, wind access can be affected by building height and mass. Because the potential impacts associated with shade, shadow and wind access impact cannot be determined until the specific location, size, and orientation of future buildings are established, this impact could be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.2.3). Mitigation Measures 5.2-1 Lighting Plan and Photometric Analysis - Parks. Concurrent with the preparation of site-specific plan(s) for park sites, including the town squares (Planning Areas C and 1), Neighborhood Park (Planning Area L), and Pedestrian Parks (Planning Areas GG, HH, and 11), and prior to issuance of a building permit for any park, the applicant shall prepare, or in the case of the City being the lead on the preparation of the site 16 specific plan, the applicant shall fund the preparation of a lighting plan and photometric analysis. The plan shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services and evaluate the proposed height, location, and intensity of all exterior lighting for compliance with the City's performance standards for light, and glare (Chula Vista Municipal Code 19.66.100). 5.2-2 Lighting Plan and Photometric Analysis — New Structures. Concurrent with design review and prior to the issuance of building permits for mixed-use residential, commercial, Community Purpose Facility and multi-family residential, the applicant shall prepare a lighting plan and photometric analysis. The plan shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) and evaluate the proposed height, location, and intensity of all exterior lighting for compliance with the City's performance standards for light, and glare (Chula Vista Municipal Code 19.66.100). 5.2-3 Shadow and Wind Pattern Analysis. Prior to design review approval for any structure three stories and above, the applicant shall prepare to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), a shadow and wind pattern analysis demonstrating that adjacent shadow-sensitive uses are not permanently shadowed, and/or any other approved City-standard in place at the time the shadow and wind pattern analysis is performed. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.2-1 through 5.2-3 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to lighting, glare, shadow and wind to a less than significant level. Impact: Landform Alteration The project would not significantly impact steep slopes because it would be consistent with the GDP/RMP requirement for 83 percent ranch-wide steep slope preservation. However, until the Landscape Master Plan and subsequent landscape and irrigation construction plans have been approved, impacts related to the mass grading plan for the project site would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.2.4). Explanation The project is required to comply with a combination of development standards, including the landform grading and landscaping design requirements of the Otay Ranch GDP and Design Plan, Village 9 SPA Plan, Subdivision Manual and Grading Ordinance. Landform grading has been proposed as shown on the Tentative Map. The landscaping requirements include preparation of a Landscape Master Plan prior to approval of the first Final Map, and subsequent landscape and irrigation construction plans prior to construction that would reduce the potential aesthetic impacts from visible manufactured slopes. However, until the Landscape Master Plan and subsequent landscape and irrigation construction plans have been approved, impacts would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.2.3). 17 Mitigation Measure 5.2-4 Landscape Master Plan. Prior to issuance of the first final map for Village 9, the applicant shall prepare to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), a Landscape Master Plan. The Landscape Master Plan shall demonstrate compliance with GDP Policies pertaining to softening manufactured slopes, particularly on visible manufactured slopes greater than 25 feet in height, through plant selection, placement, and density, etc. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.2-4 is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to landform alteration to a less than significant level. Transportation/Traffic Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to transportation/traffic if it would: 1. Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited to intersections, streets, highways, and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle paths, and mass transit. 2. Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to level of service standards and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways. 3. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks. City of Chula Vista Traffic Impact Criteria Impact: Traffic/Level of Service Standards and Congestion Management The project would result in direct impacts related to access and frontage and direct impacts on roadways and intersections under the Existing + Project, Year 2020, Year 2025, and Year 2030 Scenarios. Based on the Intersection Lane Volume Analysis, a significant direct impact would occur to the 1-805 southbound ramps at Main Street. Therefore, impacts related to congestion management would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.3.3). 18 Explanation Access and Frontage. According to Section 12.24 of the City's municipal code, access related impacts would occur if access and frontage improvements are not provided concurrent with development; therefore, a potentially significant impact would occur. Existing Plus Project. Under the Existing Plus Project scenario, the following intersections would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project (Final EIR Section 5.3.4): • Olympic Parkway/I-805 northbound ramps (AM — Level of Service [LOS] F) • Olympic Parkway/Brandywine Avenue (PM — LOS E) • Olympic Parkway/La Media Road (AM — LOS E) • Birch Road/La Media Road (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) • Birch Road/Eastlake Parkway (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) • Main Street/Eastlake Parkway (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) Under the Existing Plus Project scenario, the following roadway segments would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project (Final EIR Section 5.3.4): • Olympic Parkway from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue (LOS D) • Olympic Parkway from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road (LOS E) • Olympic Parkway from Heritage Road to La Media Road (LOS F) • Magdalena Avenue from Birch Road to Main Street (LOS F) • Eastlake Parkway from Birch Road to Main Street (LOS D) Long-Term Impacts. Under the Year 2025 scenario, the following intersections would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project: • Birch Road/La Media Road (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) • Birch Road/Eastlake Parkway (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) • Main Street/Eastlake Parkway (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) Under the Year 2025 scenario, the following roadway segments would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project: • Birch Road from La Media Road to SR-125 (LOS F) • Magdalena Avenue from Birch Road to Main Street (LOS F) • Eastlake Parkway from Birch Road to Main Street (LOS F) Under the Year 2030 scenario, the following intersections would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project: • Birch Road/SR-125 northbound ramps (LOS F —AM Peak Hour) • Birch Road/Eastlake Parkway (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS E) • Main Street/I-805 northbound ramps (PM — LOS E) 19 • Main Street/La Media Couplet (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) • Main Street/Magdalena Avenue (AM — LOS F, PM — LOS F) Under the Year 2030 scenario, the following roadway segments would experience a direct impact from implementation of the project: • Birch Road from SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway (LOS F) • Main Street from 1-805 to Brandywine Avenue (LOS D) • Main Street from Brandywine to Heritage Road (LOS D) • Eastlake Parkway from Birch Road to Main Street (LOS D) Based on the ILV Analysis, a direct impact would occur to the 1-805 southbound ramps at Main Street. Circulation System Assumptions. If the assumed roadway improvements are not in place prior to commencement of each scenario, additional traffic impacts could occur. Therefore, a potentially significant impact would occur if assumed improvements are not developed as prescribed in the traffic impact analysis. Traffic Signal Warrants. A potentially significant impact would occur if traffic signals are not provided at the following intersections prior to issuance of the final map that contains the 3,407 1h equivalent dwelling unit: Main Street/Street A, Main Street/Street B, Otay Valley Road/Street 1, Otay Valley Road/Street A, and Otay Valley Road/Street B. Mitigation Measures The project is planned to be constructed in a series of phases over a period of up to 20 years. This phasing would not require construction of all circulation improvements to address these impacts at once because the increase in trips as a result of the project would be phased along with development. Such improvements would be constructed as is needed to mitigate impacts of phased development, as discussed in the Year 2020 (cumulative impacts), Year 2025, and Year 2030 scenarios. Therefore, the mitigation measures identified for the Year 2020 (cumulative impacts), Year 2025, and Year 2030 scenarios would mitigate intersection and roadway segment impacts that would occur under the Existing Plus Project scenario. Growth Management Ordinance Compliance (Section 19.09 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code [CVMC]) 5.3-1 Olympic Parkway: Heritage Road to Oleander Avenue: Prior to the issuance of the building permit for the 2,463 rd dwelling unit for development east of 1-805 (commencing from April 4, 2011), the applicant may: i.

Traffic Signal Warrants In addition to mitigation measures 5.3-2, 5.3-7, and 5.3-13, the following measure would mitigate impacts related to installation of traffic signals. 5.3-21 Prior to issuance of the final map that contains the 3,4071" equivalent dwelling unit, the applicant shall install traffic signals at the Otay Valley Road/Street I and Otay Valley Road/Street B intersections. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.3-1 through 5.3-16 and 5.3-18 through 5.3-21 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to traffic level of service and congestion management standards to a less than significant level. 25 Impact: Air Traffic Patterns Potentially significant impacts could result from the location of structures proposed in Village 9 within a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) notification area (Final EIR Sections 5.3.4 and 5.13.4). Explanation The project area is located within the FAA Height Notification Boundary, Part 77 Airspace Surfaces, Airport Overflight Notification Area for residential development, and Review Area 2 of the Airport Influence Area. Due to the height limits proposed in the Village 9 SPA Plan, it is not anticipated that development of even the tallest structures would result in an obstruction to air traffic. However, because the project area is located within the FAA Height Notification Boundary and Airport Overflight Notification Area, proper notification in compliance with the Brown Field Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan is required to reduce this impact to a less than significant level (Final EIR Sections 5.3.3 and 5.13.3). Mitigation Measure Mitigation measures 5.13-2 through 5.13-4 would reduce impacts related to air traffic patterns (listed below under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Airport Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.13.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.13-2 through 5.13-4 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to air traffic patterns to a less than significant level. Air Quality Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to air quality if it would: 1. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Impact: Sensitive Receptors The project would have the potential to result in the exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants (TACs) during operation if the project does not comply with California Air Resources Board (CARB) siting criteria. Therefore, direct impacts to sensitive receptors are considered significant (Final EIR Section 5.4.4). Explanation CARB considers dry cleaning facilities and gas stations to be stationary sources of toxic air contaminant emissions that should not be located near sensitive receptors. Based on CARB siting recommendations within the Air Quality and Land Use Handbook, a detailed health risk 26 assessment should be conducted for proposed sensitive receptors within 300 feet of a large gas station (defined as a facility with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater), 50 feet of a "typical' gas station (a facility with a throughput of less 3.6 million gallons per year), or within 300 feet of a dry cleaning facility that uses perch loroeth lye ne. Although the SPA Plan would include primarily residential and commercial uses, the proposed land uses may allow the development of gas stations and dry cleaning facilities, as these are common uses within mixed-use and resident-serving development. Dry cleaning facilities and gas stations are allowable in the Town Center, subject to a conditional use permit. However, only storefront dry cleaning facilities or facilities that do not use perch loroethlyene are allowable in the Town Center, subject to a conditional use permit. Due to physical size constraints, large gas stations with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or more would not be permitted within the compact Town Center. Development of a typical-sized gas station in Village 9 would be possible, but would be subject to the CARB siting recommendations and would not be allowed within 50 feet of a sensitive receptor. Additionally, new sources of toxic air contaminant emissions such as gas stations are required to obtain authority to construct and operate from the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD), at which time location-specific details are analyzed. Sources must comply with established criteria, as established in SDAPCD Rule 1200, requiring demonstration that risks are below thresholds and that sources are constructed and operated with appropriate controls. Compliance with SDAPCD standards is required as mitigation to ensure that risks associated with toxic exposure of sensitive receptors to gas stations is less than significant (Final EIR Section 5.4.4). Mitigation Measure 5.4-4 San Diego Air Pollution Control District Toxic Air Contaminants Emission Criteria Compliance. Prior to approval of the building permit for any uses that are regulated for toxic air contaminant emissions by the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, the project applicant shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that the use complies with established criteria (such as those established by San Diego Air Pollution Control District Rule 1200 and California Air Resources Board). Specifically, gas stations would not be allowed to be constructed within 50 feet of a sensitive receptor, in compliance with the California Air Resources Board siting recommendations. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.4-4 is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts to sensitive receptors from exposure to TACs to a less than significant level. Noise Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to noise if it would: 1. Expose persons to or generate noise levels in excess of standards established in the Chula Vista General Plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. 27 2. Result in a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. 3. Result in a substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project. Impact: Excessive Noise Levels Implementation of the project would have the potential to result in exposure to excessive noise levels from traffic noise and operational sources including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and recreational facilities. Explanation Mechanical HVAC equipment located on the ground or on rooftops of new buildings would have the potential to generate noise levels which average 65 decibels (dBA) at a distance of 50 feet, and may run continuously during the day and night. Depending on where it is located, HVAC equipment could have the potential to generate noise that may exceed the city hourly noise limit for adjacent single-family residences and noise sensitive land uses (such as parks) of 55 dBA during daytime hours (45 dBA at night), the limit for adjacent multi-family residences of 60 dBA during daytime hours (50 dBA at night), or the limit for daytime-only noise sensitive land uses (such as a school) of 55 dBA. Residences or other sensitive land uses located in or in close proximity to a mixed-use building or other building that requires an HVAC system could result in a potentially significant impact. Multi-family residences throughout the Urban Center, Urban Neighborhood, Neighborhood Center, and Neighborhood General Zones would potentially be exposed to exterior noise levels of 65 dBA Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) or greater from traffic noise, which would exceed the city noise compatibility guidelines, and would also trigger the Title 24 requirement for the preparation of acoustical studies for all multi-family residences potentially exposed to noise levels greater than 60 dBA CNEL. Outdoor usable areas, such as outdoor dining patios, in the Town Center would also potentially be exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL from traffic noise. The Planning Area W elementary school along Otay Valley Road would also potentially be exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL from traffic noise. If this site is ultimately not chosen as a school site and instead developed with multi-family residential uses, the residential development would potentially be exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL from traffic noise. Additionally, multi-family and single-family residences along Otay Valley Road, Main Street, Street A, Street B, or SR-125 would potentially be exposed to exterior noise levels in excess of 60 dBA CNEL. Interior noise levels would also have the potential to exceed 45 dBA CNEL in residences in the Urban Center, Urban Neighborhood, and Neighborhood Center Zones and single-family residences along Otay Valley Road and SR-125; therefore, a potentially significant impact related to interior noise levels would also occur. The Neighborhood Park could generate noise levels that exceed 60 dBA up to 25 feet from the park boundary. The park is separated from all planning areas by more than 25 feet by Street G, with the exception of Planning Areas F, S-1, and S-2. As shown on the grading plan for Village 9 (Figure 3-16), a steep slope between the Neighborhood Park and the adjacent Planning Areas S-1 and S-2 would provide a more than 25 foot separation between the park and developable areas in Planning Areas S-1 and S-2. Therefore, the Neighborhood Park would not generate noise levels in excess of 60 dBA in Planning Areas S-1 and S-2 and a significant daytime impact would not occur. A steep slope would also separate Planning Area F from the 28 Neighborhood Park; however, the southernmost developable area of Planning Area F would still be located within 25 feet of the Neighborhood Park, where noise levels may exceed 60 dBA during daytime hours. The exact location of future residences in Planning Area F is unknown; therefore, it is conservatively assumed that residences may be located at the southern edge of Planning Area F and would have the potential for exposure to excessive noise from the playing fields. A potentially significant impact would occur (Final EIR Section 5.5.3). Mitigation Measures 5.5-1 Noise Attenuation in the Urban Center (Planning Area D), Urban Neighborhood (Planning Area F), and Neighborhood Center Zones (Planning Areas S-1 and V), and Neighborhood Park (Planning Area L). Prior to the approval of grading permits for residential or park development along the western edge of Planning Areas D, F, L, S-1, and V in the Urban Center, Urban Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood Center, and Neighborhood Park zones (as shown in Figure 3-4, Transect Zones), the applicant shall submit a site design plan and subsequent acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that all outdoor useable areas are not exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL. The site plan and acoustical analysis shall include, but not be limited to the following: i. Location and height of the noise barriers in accordance with Figure 5.5-4. Heights are provided relative to final pad elevation. Required heights may be achieved through construction of walls, berms or a wall/berm combination; ii. A detailed analysis which demonstrates that barriers and/or setbacks have been incorporated into the project design, such that noise exposure to residential receivers placed in all useable outdoor areas, including multi-family residential patios and balconies, are at or below 65 dBA CNEL; and iii. Should grading, lot configuration, and/or traffic assumptions change during the processing of any final maps, the barriers shall be refined to reflect those modifications. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features that would reduce sound levels to 65 dBA CNEL at outdoor usable areas. 5.5-2 Site-Specific Acoustic Analysis — Single-family Residences. Concurrent with design review and prior to the approval of building permits for single-family residential development where the exterior noise level exceeds 65 dBA CNEL (Planning Areas AA and DD), the applicant shall prepare an acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that the proposed building plans ensure that interior noise levels due to exterior noise sources will be at or below 45 dBA CNEL in any habitable room. The analysis must also identify Sound Transmission Loss rates of each window. Design- level architectural plans will be available during design review and will permit the accurate calculation of transmissions loss for habitable rooms. For these lots, it may be necessary for the windows to be able to remain closed to ensure that interior noise levels meet the interior standard of 45 dBA CNEL. Consequently, the design for these units may need to include ventilation or an air conditioning system to 29 provide a habitable interior environment with the windows closed based on the result on the interior acoustical analysis. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features that would reduce sound levels to 45 dBA CNEL in any habitable room. 5.5-3 Site-Specific Acoustic Analysis — Multi-family Residences. Concurrent with design review and prior to the approval of building permits for multi-family areas where first and/or second floor exterior noise levels exceed 60 dBA CNEL and/or where required outdoor area (patios or balconies) noise levels exceed 65 dBA CNEL (Planning Areas A, B-1, B-2, D, E-1, E-2, F, H-1, K-1, M, N, 0-1, P, R-1, S-1, S-2, T, U-1, V, Z-1, and Z-2), the applicant shall 1) prepare an acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that the proposed building plans ensure that interior noise levels due to exterior noise sources will be at or below California's Title 24 Interior Noise Standards (i.e., 45 dBA CNEL) in any habitable room, and 2) that all outdoor useable areas are not exposed to noise levels in excess of the City's Noise Compatibility Guidelines for outdoor use areas (i.e., 65 dBA CNEL). The analysis must also identify Sound Transmission Loss rates of each window. Design-level architectural plans will be available during design review and will permit the accurate calculation of transmissions loss for habitable rooms. For these areas, it may be necessary for the windows to be able to remain closed to ensure that interior noise levels meet the interior standard of 45 dBA CNEL. Consequently, the design for buildings in these areas may need to include a ventilation or air conditioning system to provide a habitable interior environment with the windows closed based on the result on the interior acoustical analysis. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features that would 1) reduce sound levels to 45 dBA CNEL in any habitable room, and 2) that would reduce sound levels to 65 dBA CNEL at outdoor usable areas. 5.5-4 Site-Specific Acoustic Analysis — Non-Residential Noise Sensitive Land Use. Concurrent with Design Review and prior to the approval of building permits for any non-residential Noise Sensitive Land Uses (schools, neighborhood parks, outdoor use areas, some Community Purpose Facility use, etc.) area where exterior noise levels exceed 65 dBA CNEL (Planning Areas A, B-1, B-2, C, D, F, E-1, E-2, L, S-1, V, and W), the applicant shall submit a site design plan and subsequent acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that all outdoor useable areas are not exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL. Measures to reduce noise levels may include, but would not be limited to, setback of structures from the roadway, installing acoustic barriers, or orienting outdoor activity areas away from roadways so that surrounding structures provide noise attenuation. Roof-ceiling assemblies making up the building envelope shall have a sound transmission class value of at least 50, and exterior windows shall have a minimum sound transmission class of 30 in compliance with the California Green Building Standards Code. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features would reduce sound levels to 65 dBA CNEL at outdoor usable areas. If Planning Area W is ultimately developed with multi- family residential uses rather than a school, this planning area would be subject to mitigation measure 5.5-3. 30 5.5-5 Site-Specific Acoustic Analysis — Office Uses. Concurrent with Design Review and prior to the approval of building permits for any office use within Planning Areas A, B-1, B-2, D, E-1, and E-2, the applicant shall submit a site design plan and subsequent acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that exterior noise levels at the property line are at or below the City's Noise Compatibility Guidelines for office uses (i.e., 70 dBA CNEL). Measures to reduce noise levels may include, but would not be limited to, setback of structures from the roadway, installing acoustic barriers, or, in mixed-use buildings, orienting offices away from roadways so that surrounding structures provide noise attenuation. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features would reduce sound levels to 70 dBA CNEL at the property line. 5.5-6 Shielded Private Outdoor Usable Space for Urban Center Residences. Concurrent with Design Review and prior to the approval of building permits for any private usable outdoor space such as patios, balconies, or outdoor dining areas for new residential or commercial development along Main Street or Street B (Planning Areas A, B-1, B-2, D, E-1, and E-2), the applicant shall submit a site design plan and subsequent acoustical analysis demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that all outdoor useable areas are not exposed to noise levels in excess of 65 dBA CNEL. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features that would reduce sound levels to 65 dBA CNEL at outdoor usable areas. 5.5-7 HVAC Mechanical Equipment Shielding. Concurrent with Design Review and prior to the approval of building permits for non-residential development, the applicant shall submit a design plan for the project demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) that the noise level from operation of mechanical equipment will not cumulatively exceed the noise level limits for a designated receiving land use category as specified in Section 19.68.030 of the City of Chula Vista Noise Ordinance. Noise control measures may include, but are not limited to, the selection of quiet equipment, equipment setbacks, silencers, and/or acoustical louvers. The Applicant shall construct and/or install the required noise attenuation features that would reduce sound levels to allowable Chula Vista Noise Ordinance Standards. 5.5-8 Site Specific Acoustic Analysis - Neighborhood Park. Concurrent with the preparation of site-specific plan(s) and prior to the approval of a precise grading plan for the Neighborhood Park or Planning Area F (whichever occurs first), the applicant shall prepare, or in the case the City being the lead on the preparation of the site specific plan, the project applicant shall fund the preparation of an acoustical analysis shall be conducted to ensure that noise levels generated from any active uses at the Neighborhood Park, such as sports fields, shall not exceed the receiving land use category's exterior noise limits as identified in the Chula Vista Noise Ordinance. The project applicant shall be responsible for the implementation of any measures recommended as a result of the analysis. Measures to reduce noise levels may include, but would not be limited to, siting of structures or buildings to provide setbacks between active areas and adjacent noise sensitive uses or construction of a wall to provide noise attenuation. Final noise attenuation design shall be determined by a site-specific acoustic analysis conducted by a qualified acoustical 31 engineer, to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.5-1 through 5.5-8 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to excessive noise levels to a less than significant level. Impact: Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels Short-term increases in noise levels would remain significant until the proposed roadway system is complete (Final EIR Section 5.5.3). Explanation Seven roadway segments would result in a significant increase in noise under the Existing Plus Project scenario: Birch Road, La Media Road to SR-125; Birch Road, SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway; La Media Road, Olympic Parkway to Birch Road; Main Street, Street A to Eastlake Parkway; Hunte Parkway, Eastlake Parkway to Olympic Parkway; La Media Road, Olympic Parkway to Birch Road; Eastlake Parkway, Olympic Parkway to Birch Road; and Eastlake Parkway, Birch Road to Main Street. Traffic-related noise could be reduced either by constructing noise barriers, lowering traffic speeds, or by reducing traffic. Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM would include the construction of new roadways that would provide new connections from the project area to the regional transportation system. These new connections would reduce long-term traffic on the roadways surrounding the project site by routing some cumulative traffic through Village 9 instead of the surrounding roadways. Additionally, these connections would direct traffic generated by Village 9 away from the existing off-site roadways and reduce associated traffic noise. Mitigation is required to ensure that this circulation system would be implemented concurrently with Village 9. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.3-20 would reduce impacts related to short-term increases in traffic noise (listed above under the Transportation/Traffic: Level of Service Standards and Congestion Management heading, and listed in the Final EIR Section 5.3.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.3-20 is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of the mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to permanent increases in noise level to a less than significant level. 32 Impact: Temporary Increase in Ambient Noise Levels Construction of the project would have the potential to generate noise levels and that would significantly impact biological resources (Final EIR Section 5.5.3). Explanation Noise from construction activities would also have the potential to impact sensitive wildlife species in the MSCP Preserve areas to the south of the project site. Construction noise exceeding an hourly average sound level of 60 dBA would potentially impact special status wildlife species by inhibiting audible communication between potential mates and between parents and offspring. Based on the worst-case construction noise level of 87 dBA at 50 feet, determined using the RCNM model, and an attenuation rate of 6 dBA for every double of distance, construction activities would have the potential to exceed 60 dBA up to 1,100 feet from the source. Assuming construction noise would be emanating from a location on the project site closest to the MSCP Preserve area (Planning Areas CC, DD, EE, FF, HH, II, and OS-3), construction noise would exceed 60 dBA within the MSCP Preserve area and a significant construction noise impact would occur (Final EIR Sections 5.5.3 and 5.6.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.6-3, 5.6-6, 5.6-7, 5.6-8, 5.6-9, and 5.6-11 would also reduce impacts related to construction noise (listed below under the Biological Resources, Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.6.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-3, 5.6-6, 5.6-7, 5.6-8, 5.6-9, and 5.6-11 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to temporary increases in ambient noise level to a less than significant level. Biological Resources Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to biological resources if it would: 1. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Service. 2. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or US Fish and Wildlife Service. 33 3. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means. 4. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance; or conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat conservation plan, natural community conservation plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species Implementation of the project would result in significant direct and indirect impacts to several sensitive species, including snake cholla, least Bell's vireo, southern California rufus-crowned sparrow, burrowing owl, raptors and breeding migratory birds (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Explanation Implementation of the project would result in significant direct and indirect impacts to several sensitive species through the direct removal of the species, or habitat that supports the species. Impacts to each sensitive species are summarized below. Coast barrel cactus. Implementation of the project would result in the direct loss of all 43 coast barrel cactus identified within the project site. This impact would be significant. Snake cholla. Implementation of the project would result in the direct loss of 29 snake cholla individuals within the project site and the off-site improvement area. This impact would be significant. Other Special Status Plant Species not Covered by the MSCP. Construction activities associated with the project would result in direct impacts to Palmer's grappling hook, San Diego marsh-elder, singlewhorl burrowbush, southwest spiny rush, small-flowered morning glory, and San Diego sunflower because individuals from these species would be removed during construction. However, impacts to these species are not considered significant because the populations of these species are adequately protected in the Otay Ranch Preserve and are relatively common species in this portion of the county. Burrowing owl. No active burrows were detected within the proposed development area. However, burrowing owls are known to occupy agricultural areas such as those found on site, and use such areas for both nest and foraging. The project would result in a significant impact to the burrowing owl if this species is detected in suitable habitat during pre-construction surveys or subsequent construction biological monitoring. Cactus wren. Two cactus wrens were observed in the project area. The cactus wren occurs in coastal sage scrub and maritime succulent scrub, which are found on the site and in the off-site improvement area. The loss of habitat for cactus wren is considered a significant impact. California gnatcatcher. Two California gnatcatcher territories would be directly impacted by implementation of the project. This loss of habitat is considered a significant impact. 34 Least Bell's vireo. One least Bell's vireo territory would be affected by the construction of the off-site improvement areas. This loss of habitat is considered a significant impact. Raptors. Habitats in the existing agricultural areas on site provide foraging areas for sensitive avian species including northern harrier, burrowing owl, Cooper's hawk, white-tailed kite, and golden eagle. The project would reduce on-site agricultural vegetation. Therefore, the removal of this vegetation would result in a significant impact. Additionally, impacts to avian species protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act may occur if suitable habitat is removed or impacted during the bird breeding season (February 15 through August 31). Therefore, impacts related to raptors and breeding migratory birds would be significant. Wildlife Species Not Covered in MSCP. The project would result in the direct removal of suitable on-site and off-site habitat for the southern California rufus-crowned sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrow, San Diego black tailed jackrabbit, orange-throated whiptail. Northwestern San Diego pocket mouse, Dulzura California pocket mouse, San Diego woodrat, and coast rosy boa were not observed within the project area, but are typically found in coastal sage scrub habitat and may be impacted by removal of this vegetation on site if they are present. However, the loss of this habitat would not be considered a significant impact to these wildlife species due to the relatively small amount affected on a regional scale and the low risk of endangerment associated with these species. Therefore, impacts to these species would be less than significant. Short-term Indirect Impacts. Short-term indirect impacts to sensitive wildlife species would occur during construction activities and would potentially consist of noise, lighting, presence of toxic substances, degradation of water quality. Species potentially affected by such activities include, but are not limited to: California gnatcatchers, nesting raptors as northern harrier, burrowing owl, and black-tailed jackrabbits. Construction equipment would generate noise levels that may affect adjacent biologically sensitive areas. Construction noise exceeding an average hourly noise level greater than 60 dBA Leq at the location of any occupied habitat areas can indirectly impact sensitive wildlife species by inhibiting audible communication between potential mates and between parents and offspring. Construction equipment would have the potential to exceed 60 dBA at a distance of 1,100 feet from the source. Therefore, construction activities throughout the project site would have the potential to exceed 60 dBA at occupied habitat. Short-term indirect impacts would be considered potentially significant. Long-term Indirect Impacts. Long-term indirect impacts to sensitive wildlife species would occur as a result of increased human activity in the Preserve, and domestic animal predation on listed wildlife species in the Preserve. Indirect impacts would be considered potentially significant to sensitive species residing in the Preserve. Mitigation Measures In addition to the measures listed below, mitigation measures 5.4-1 through 5.4-3, 5.11-1 through 5.11-5, and 5.6-17 through 5.6-19 would also reduce impacts to sensitive species. 5.6-1 Maritime Succulent Scrub Restoration Plan. Prior to the issuance of any land development permits (including clearing and grubbing or grading permits) the applicant shall prepare a restoration plan to restore impacted maritime succulent scrub at 1:1 ratio, pursuant to the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan. A total of 5.17 acres of maritime succulent scrub will require restoration. The restoration plan shall include, at a minimum, an implementation strategy; species salvage and 35 relocation, appropriate seed mixtures and planting method; irrigation; quantitative and qualitative success criteria; maintenance, monitoring, and reporting program; estimated completion time; and contingency measures. The maritime succulent scrub restoration plan shall be prepared by a city-approved biologist pursuant to the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan restoration requirements. The applicant shall also be required to implement the revegetation plan subject to the oversight and approval of the Development Services Director (or their designee). 5.6-2 Resource Salvage Plan. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading permits, the applicant shall prepare a resource salvage plan for areas with salvageable resources, including, but not limited to, snake cholla, Chula Vista Narrow Endemic Species, dot-seed plantain (Quino checkerspot butterfly larval host plant), coast barrel cactus, other cacti species, and San Diego sunflower. The resource salvage plan shall, at a minimum, evaluate options for plant salvage and relocation, including native plant mulching, selective soil salvaging, application of plant materials on manufactured slopes, and application/relocation of resources within the Preserve. Relocation efforts may include seed collection and/or transplantation to a suitable receptor site and will be based on the most reliable methods of successful relocation. The program shall contain a recommendation for method of salvage and relocation/application based on feasibility of implementation and likelihood of success. The program shall include, at a minimum, an implementation plan, maintenance and monitoring program, estimated completion time, and any relevant contingency measures. The resource salvage plan shall be prepared by a city-approved biologist. The applicant shall also be required to implement the resource salvage plan subject to the oversight of the Development Services Director (or their designee). 5.6-3 Coastal California Gnatcatcher, Coastal Cactus Wren, and Least Bell's Vireo Pre-Construction Survey. For any work proposed between February 15 and August 15 (March 15 and September 15 for least Bell's vireo), a pre-construction survey for the coastal California gnatcatcher, coastal cactus wren, and least Bell's vireo shall be performed in order to reaffirm the presence and extent of occupied habitat. The pre- construction survey area for the species shall encompass all potentially suitable habitat within the project work zone, as well as a 300-foot survey buffer. The pre- construction survey shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) by a qualified biologist familiar with the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan. The results of the pre- construction survey must be submitted in a report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) for review and approval prior to the issuance of any land development permits and prior to initiating any construction activities. If California gnatcatcher, cactus wren or least Bell's vireo is detected, a minimum 300-foot buffer delineated by orange biological fencing shall be established around the detected species to ensure that no work shall occur within occupied habitat from February 15 through August 15 for Coastal California gnatcatcher and cactus wren, and March 15 through September 15 for least Bell's vireo. On-site noise reduction techniques shall be implemented to ensure that construction noise levels not exceed 60 dBA Leq at the location of any occupied sensitive habitat areas. The Development Services Director (or their designee) shall have the discretion to modify the buffer width depending on site-specific conditions. If the results of the pre-construction survey determine that the survey area is unoccupied, the work may commence at the 36 discretion of the Development Services Director (or their designee) following the review and approval of the pre-construction report. 5.6-4 Burrowing Owl Pre-Construction Surveys. Prior to issuance of any land development permits (including clearing and grubbing or grading permits), the applicant shall retain a city-approved biologist to conduct focused pre-construction surveys for burrowing owls. The surveys shall be performed no earlier than 10 days prior to the commencement of any clearing, grubbing, or grading activities. If occupied burrows are detected, the city-approved biologist shall prepare a passive relocation mitigation plan subject to the review and approval by the wildlife agencies and city including any subsequent burrowing owl relocation plans to avoid impacts from construction-related activities. 5.6-5 Revegetation Plan. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing, grubbing, grading and construction permits, the applicant shall provide a revegetation plan to restore 0.2 acre of temporary impacts to maritime succulent scrub and 0.1 acre of temporary impacts to riparian scrub associated with off-site planned and future facilities. The revegetation plan must be prepared by a qualified city-approved biologist familiar with the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan and must include, but not be limited to, an implementation plan; appropriate seed mixtures and planting method; irrigation method; quantitative and qualitative success criteria; maintenance, monitoring, and reporting program; estimated completion time; and contingency measures. The applicant shall be required to prepare and implement the revegetation plan subject to the oversight and approval of the Development Services Director (or their designee). 5.6-6 Biological Construction Monitoring. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading and/or construction permits for any areas adjacent to the Preserve and the off-site facilities located within the Preserve, the applicant shall provide written confirmation that a city-approved biological monitor has been retained and shall be on site during clearing, grubbing, and/or grading activities. The biological monitor shall attend all pre-construction meetings and be present during the removal of any vegetation to ensure that the approved limits of disturbance are not exceeded and provide periodic monitoring of the impact area including, but not limited to, trenches, stockpiles, storage areas and protective fencing. The biological monitor shall be authorized to halt all associated project activities that may be in violation of the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan and/or permits issued by any other agencies having jurisdictional authority over the project. 5.6-7 Pre-Construction Education. Before construction activities occur in areas adjacent to and/or containing sensitive biological resources, all workers shall be educated by a city-approved biologist to recognize and avoid those areas that have been marked as sensitive biological resources. 5.6-8 Migratory Bird Treaty Act Compliance. To avoid any direct impacts to raptors and/or any migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, removal of habitat that supports active nests on the proposed area of disturbance should occur outside of the breeding season for these species (January 15 to August 31). If removal of habitat on the proposed area of disturbance must occur during the 37 breeding season, the applicant shall retain a city-approved biologist to conduct a pre- construction survey to determine the presence or absence of nesting birds on the proposed area of disturbance. The pre-construction survey must be conducted within 10 calendar days prior to the start of construction, the results of which must be submitted to the city for review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities. If nesting birds are detected, a letter report or mitigation plan as deemed appropriate by the city, shall be prepared and include proposed measures to be implemented to ensure that disturbance of breeding activities are avoided. The report or mitigation plan shall be submitted to the city for review and approval and implemented to the satisfaction of the city. The city-approved mitigation monitor shall verify and approve that all measures identified in the report or mitigation plan are in place prior to and/or during construction. 5.6-9 Northern Harrier Pre-Construction Survey. Prior to issuance of any land development permits, including clearing and grubbing or grading permits, the applicant shall retain a city-approved biologist to conduct focused surveys for northern harrier to determine the presence or absence of this species within 900 feet of the construction area. The pre-construction survey must be conducted within 10 calendar days prior to the start of construction. The results of the survey must be submitted to the city for review and approval. If active nests are detected by the city- approved biologist, a biological monitor shall be on site during construction to minimize construction impacts and ensure that no nests are be removed or disturbed until all young have fledged. 5.6-10 Construction Fencing and Signage. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading and/or construction permits, the applicant shall install fencing in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 17.35.030. Prominently colored, well-installed fencing and signage shall be in place wherever the limits of grading are adjacent to sensitive vegetation communities or other biological resources, as identified by the qualified monitoring biologist. Fencing shall remain in place during all construction activities. All temporary fencing shall be shown on grading plans for areas adjacent to the Preserve and for all off-site facilities constructed within the Preserve. Prior to release of grading and/or improvement bonds, a qualified biologist shall provide evidence that work was conducted as authorized under the approved land development permit and associated plans. 5.6-11 Indirect Impact Avoidance. In accordance with the Chula Vista Adjacency Management Guidelines and the Otay Ranch Village 9 Edge Plan, and in addition to mitigation measure 5.11-1, Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan, the following measures shall be implemented to further reduce indirect impacts (from lighting, noise, invasive, toxic substances, and public access) to sensitive biological resources located in the adjacent Otay Ranch Preserve areas: i. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a lighting plan and photometric analysis shall be submitted to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) to ensure lighting of all developed areas adjacent to the Preserve has been directed away from the Preserve, wherever feasible and consistent with public safety. The lighting plan shall illustrate the location of the proposed lighting standards and, if applicable, type of shielding measures required to minimize 38 light spillage into the Preserve. Where necessary, development shall provide adequate shielding with non-invasive plant materials (preferably native), berming, and/or other methods to protect the Preserve and sensitive species from night lighting. Consideration shall be given to the use of low-pressure sodium lighting. ii. Construction-related noise shall be limited within and adjacent to the Preserve during the typical breeding season of January 15 to September 15. Construction activity within and adjacent to any occupied sensitive habitat areas must not exceed 60 dBA Leq, or ambient noise levels if higher than 60 dBA Leq, during the breeding season. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading and/or construction permits for areas within or adjacent to the Preserve, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), an acoustical analysis to demonstrate that the 60 dBA Leq noise level is not exceeded at the location of any occupied sensitive habitat areas as determined based on the results the required biological pre-construction surveys. The acoustical analysis shall describe the methods by which construction noise shall not exceed 60 dBA Leq. Noise abatement methods may include, but are not limited to, reoperation of specific construction activities, installation of noise abatement at the source, and/or installation of noise abatement at the receiving areas. 5.6-12 Retain Existing Vegetation. Existing vegetation shall be retained where possible during construction activities and grading activities shall be limited to the immediate area required for construction. 5.6-13 Landscape Plan. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading and/or construction permits for areas within the 100-foot Preserve edge, the applicant shall prepare and submit to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), landscape plans to ensure that the proposed plant palette is consistent with the plant list contained in Attachment A of the Otay Ranch Village 9 Preserve Edge Plan. The landscape plan shall also incorporate a manual weeding program for areas adjacent to the Preserve. The manual weeding program shall describe at a minimum, the entity responsible for controlling invasive species, the maintenance activities and methods required to control invasives, and a maintenance/monitoring schedule. 5.6-14 MCSP Preserve Boundary Delineation. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading and/or construction permits for the project, the applicant shall submit wall and fence plans depicting appropriate barriers to prevent unauthorized access into the Otay Ranch Preserve. The wall and fence plans shall, at a minimum, illustrate the locations and cross-sections of proposed walls, fences, informational and directional signage, access controls, and/or boundary markers along the Preserve boundary and any off-site pedestrian trails as conceptually described in the Otay Ranch Village 9 Edge Plan. The required wall and fence plan shall be subject to the approval of the Development Services Director (or their designee). 39 Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-14 identified above; measures 5.6-17 through 5.6-19, listed below under Local Policies, Ordinances, HCP and NCCP; measures 5.4-1 through 5.4-3, listed below under Significant and Unavoidable Direct Impacts and in the Final EIR Section 5.4.5; and measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-5, listed below under Hydrology and Water Quality and in Final EIR Section 5.11.5, are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to sensitive plant and wildlife species to a less than significant level. Impact: Riparian Habitat and Other Sensitive Natural Communities The project would result in significant direct impact to broom baccharis scrub, coastal sage scrub, disturbed coastal sage scrub, maritime succulent scrub, chaparral, non-native grasslands, riparian scrub, and tamarisk scrub. Therefore, impacts are considered significant (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Explanation Any removal of a sensitive vegetation community is considered a significant impact because these habitats have the potential to support sensitive species. Implementation of the project would result in direct impacts to seven sensitive vegetation communities, including broom baccharis scrub, coastal sage scrub (including disturbed coastal sage scrub), maritime succulent scrub, chaparral, non-native grassland, riparian scrub, and tamarisk scrub. Impacts to sensitive vegetation communities are identified in Table 5.6-3 in the EIR. Impacts to these vegetation communities would be considered significant (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Mitigation Measure Mitigation measures 5.6-1, 5.6-2, 5.6-5, 5.6-6, 5.6-7, 5.6-10 through 5.6-19 (listed above and below under the Biological Resources, Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species, Impact: Federally Protected Wetlands, and Impact: Local Policies, Ordinances, HCP and NCCP headings and in the Final EIR Section 5.6.5), 5.4-1 through 5.4-3 (listed below under Significant and Unavoidable Direct Impacts and in the Final EIR Section 5.4.5), 5.11-1 through 5.11-5 (listed below under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5) would also reduce impacts to riparian habitat and other sensitive natural communities. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-1, 5.6-2, 5.6-5, 5.6-6, 5.6-7, 5.6-10 through 5.6-19, 5.4-1 through 5.4-3, 5.11-1 through 5.11-5 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to riparian habitat and other sensitive natural communities to a less than significant level. 40 Impact: Federally Protected Wetlands United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulated jurisdictional waters and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) jurisdictional channels would be significantly impacted by development of the project (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Explanation A total of 0.24 acre of USACE jurisdictional waters and 0.84 acre of CDFW jurisdictional channels would be impacted by implementation of the project. Impacts to USACE and CDFW jurisdictional waters and channels would be considered significant and would require mitigation in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Section 404 permit from the USACE. A Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Regional Water Quality Control Board would be required to be issued prior to the project receiving a Section 404 permit. Additionally, impacts to wetlands and channels would be required to be mitigated in order to be consistent with the city's wetlands protection program. Impacts to jurisdictional water and wetlands are considered significant. (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Mitigation Measures In addition to the mitigation measures listed below, implementation of mitigation measures 5.11- 1 and 5.11-5 would reduce impacts to federally protected wetlands (listed below under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5). 5.6-15 Wetlands Mitigation and Monitoring Plan. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading permits that impact jurisdictional waters, the applicant shall prepare a wetlands mitigation and monitoring plan. This plan shall include, at a minimum, an implementation plan, maintenance and monitoring program, estimated completion time, and any relevant contingency measures. Areas under the jurisdictional authority of Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife shall be delineated on all grading plans. Creation areas shall occur within the Otay River watershed in accordance with the wetlands mitigation and monitoring plan to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), Army Corps of Engineers, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. The applicant shall also be required to implement the wetlands mitigation and monitoring plan subject to the oversight of the Development Services Director (or their designee), Army Corps of Engineers, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife. 5.6-16 Regulatory Permits. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading permits for areas that impact jurisdictional waters, the applicant shall provide evidence that all required regulatory permits, such as those required under Sections 404 and 401 of the federal Clean Water Act, Section 1600 of the California Fish and Game Code, and the Porter Cologne Water Quality Act, have been obtained. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as 41 identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-15 and 5.6- 16 (listed above), and 5.11-1 through 5.11-5 (listed below under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to federally protected wetlands to a less than significant level. Impact: Local Policies, Ordinances, HCP and NCCP The project would have the potential to result in impacts to sensitive species that would conflict with Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Explanation The project would have significant impacts related to biological resources management unless the Otay Ranch regional open space is preserved proportionally and concurrently with development, in accordance with the provisions of the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan and the Otay Ranch RMP (Final EIR Section 5.6.3). Mitigation Measure In addition to the mitigation measures listed below, mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-7, and 5.6-9 through 5.6-16 would also reduce potential impacts related to conflicts with the MSCP Subarea Plan (listed above under the Biological Resources, Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species and Impact: Federally Protected Wetlands headings and in the Final EIR Section 5.6.5). 5.6-17 Annexation into Otay Ranch Preserve Community Facilities District No. 97-2. Prior to the approval of the first final map for the SPA Plan, the applicant shall coordinate with the City Engineer and annex the project area within the Otay Ranch Preserve Community Facilities District No. 97-2. 5.6-18 Otay Ranch Preserve Land Conveyance. Prior to recordation of each final map the applicant shall convey land within the Otay Ranch Preserve to the Otay Ranch Preserve Owner Manager or its designee at a ratio of 1.188 acres for each acre of development area, as defined in the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan. Access for maintenance purposes shall also be conveyed to the satisfaction of the Preserve Owner Manager, and each tentative map shall be subject to a condition that the applicant shall execute a maintenance agreement with the Preserve Owner Manager stating that it is the responsibility of the applicant to maintain the conveyed parcel until the Otay Ranch Preserve Community Facilities District No. 97-2 has generated sufficient revenues to enable the Preserve Owner Manager to assume maintenance responsibilities. The applicant shall maintain and manage the offered conveyance property consistent with the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan Phase 2 until the Otay Ranch Preserve Community Facilities District No. 97-2 has generated sufficient revenues to enable the Preserve Owner Manager to assume maintenance and management responsibilities. 5.6-19 Area-Specific Management Directives. Prior to the Preserve Owner Manager's acceptance of the conveyed land in fee title, the applicant shall prepare, to the 42 satisfaction of the Preserve Owner Manager, area specific management directives for the associated conveyance areas, which shall incorporate the guidelines and specific requirements of the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan, management requirements of Table 3-5 of the Multiple Species Conservation Program Subarea Plan and information and recommendations from any relevant special studies. Guidelines and requirements from these documents shall be evaluated in relationship to the Preserve configuration and specific habitats and species found within the associated conveyance areas and incorporated into the area specific management directives to the satisfaction of the Preserve Owner Manager. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-17 through and 5.6-19 (listed above), as well as mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-7 and 5.6-9 through 5.6-16 (listed above under the Biological Resources, Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species and Impact: Federally Protected Wetlands headings) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to consistency with local policies, ordinances, HCP and NCCP to a less than significant level. Cultural and Paleontological Resources Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to cultural and paleontological resources if it would: 1. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. 2. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. 3. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. Impact: Archaeological Resources Construction activities associated with the project could inadvertently result in significant impacts to presently unknown archaeological resources that may be uncovered during clearing and grading. Mitigation measures are included below, consistent with the recommendations of the cultural resources report (Appendix F1 of the EIR), to avoid a potentially significant impact that could occur if construction activities inadvertently uncover a potentially significant resource. (Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Explanation The project would not result in impacts to known archaeological resources. However, given the presence of archeological resources on site, the project would have the potential to impact 43 unknown archaeological resources during earth-disturbing construction activities. This impact would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Mitigation Measures 5.7-1 Archaeological Monitor. Prior to issuance of land development permits, including clearing or grubbing and grading permits, the applicant shall provide written confirmation and incorporate into grading plans, to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee), that a principal investigator as listed by the Secretary of the Interior (Code of Federal Regulations Title 36, Section 61) has been retained in an oversight capacity to ensure than an archeological monitor will be present during all cutting of previously undisturbed soil. If these cutting activities would occur in more than one location, multiple monitors shall be provided to monitor these areas, as determined necessary by the principal investigator. 5.7-2 Resource Discovery Procedure. During the initial grading of previously undisturbed soils within Village 9 and the off-site improvement area, prehistoric and historic resources may be encountered. In the event that the monitor identifies a potentially significant site, the archaeological monitor shall secure the discovery site from further impacts by delineating the site with staking and flagging, and by diverting grading equipment away from the archaeological site. Following notification to the Development Services Director (or their designee), the archaeological monitor shall conduct investigations as necessary to determine if the discovery is significant under the criteria listed in CEQA and the environmental guidelines of the City of Chula Vista. If the discovery is determined to be not significant, grading operations may resume and the archaeological monitor shall summarize the findings in a letter report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) following the completion of mass grading activities. The letter report shall describe the results of the on-site archeological monitoring, each archaeological site observed, the scope of testing conducted, results of laboratory analysis (if applicable), and conclusions. The letter report shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee) prior to release of grading bonds. Any artifacts recovered during the evaluation shall be curated at a facility approved by the Development Services Director (or their designee). For those prehistoric/historic resources that are determined to be significant, the following measures shall be implemented: i. An alternate means of achieving mitigation shall be pursued. In general, these forms of mitigation include: 1) site avoidance by preservation of the site in a natural state in open space or in open space easements, 2) site avoidance by preservation through capping the site and placing landscaping on top of the fill, 3) data recovery through implementation of an excavation and analysis program, or 4) a combination of one or more of the above measures. Procedures for implementing the alternative forms of mitigation described herein are further detailed in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted as part of the 1993 Otay Ranch General Development Plan Program EIR (EIR 90-01). 44 ii. For those sites for which avoidance and preservation is not feasible or appropriate, the applicant shall prepare a Data Recovery Plan. The plan shall, at a minimum, include the following: 1) a statement of why data recovery is appropriate as a mitigating measure, 2) a research plan that explicitly provides the research questions that can reasonably be expected to be addressed by excavation and analysis of the site, 3) a statement of the types and kinds of data that can reasonably be expected to exist at the site and how these data will be used to answer important research questions, 4) a step-by-step discussion of field and laboratory methods to be employed, and 5) provisions will be stated for curation and storage of the artifacts, notes, and photographs. In cases involving historic resources, archival research and historical documentation shall be used to augment field-testing programs. Grading operations within the affected area may resume once the site has been fully evaluated and mitigated to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee). All significant artifacts collected during the implementation of the Data Recovery Plan shall be curated at a facility approved by the Development Services Director (or their designee). iii. Following the completion of mass grading operations, the applicant shall prepare a plan that addresses the temporary on-site presentation and interpretation of the results of the archaeological studies for the project. This could be accomplished through exhibition within a future community center, civic building and/or multi- purpose building. This exhibition will only be for temporary curation of those materials being actively used for interpretation and display, and that permanent curation of artifacts and data shall be at a regional repository when one is established. All significant artifacts collected during the implementation of the Data Recovery Plan shall be permanently curated at a facility approved by the Development Services Director (or their designee). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.7-1 through and 5.7-2 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to archaeological resources to a less than significant level. Impact: Human Remains Construction activities associated with the project could inadvertently result in significant impacts to presently unknown human remains that may be uncovered during clearing and grading (Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Explanation Results of the cultural resources record search and survey did not identify any human remains or records of human remains in Village 9. However, given the presence of archeological resources on the site, regardless of cultural significance, previously unknown human remains may be present in the project area and off-site improvement area. Ground-disturbing construction activities, grading, and trenching associated with the project would have the 45 potential to uncover human remains. Compliance with existing regulations would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. However, without an archaeological monitor on-site during construction to identify evidence of remains and ensure proper regulatory compliance, ground-disturbing construction activities associated with the SPA Plan and TM would have the potential to result in a significant impact to human remains (Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Mitigation Measure 5.7-3 Human Remains Disturbance Protocol. If human remains are discovered during grading or site preparation activities within Village 9 or off-site improvement area, the archaeological monitor shall secure the discovery site from any further disturbance. State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the San Diego County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to the origin and disposition of the remains pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission. The Native American Heritage Commission will then identify the person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent of the deceased Native American. The Most Likely Descendent will assist the Development Services Director (or their designee) in determining what course of action shall be taken to deal with the remains. Grading operations within the affected area may resume once the site has been fully evaluated and mitigated to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee). The Archaeological Monitor shall summarize the findings in a letter report to the Development Services Director (or their designee) following the completion of mass grading activities. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.7-3 is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to human remains to a less than significant level. Impact: Paleontological Resources Geological formations underlying Village 9 and off-site improvement areas have a high sensitivity for paleontological resources(Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Explanation Direct impacts to paleontological resources would have the potential to occur during earthwork activities, such as mass grading operations on site, or trenching activities associated with the proposed off-site improvements. Ground-disturbing construction would cut into the geological formations within Village 9 that have a high potential for containing fossilized material. The majority of Village 9 is underlain by the Otay Formation. This formation would be disturbed by grading activities and during construction of proposed off-site improvements. Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits, also considered fossiliferous, occur in the southern portion of Village 9. These sedimentary deposits would be disturbed by grading activities on site, and trenching in the off-site improvement area. These direct impacts would have the potential to adversely affect 46 unique fossilized remains. Therefore, ground-disturbing construction activities associated with Village 9 would have the potential to result in a significant impact to paleontological resources (Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Mitigation Measure 5.7-4 Paleontological Resource Mitigation Program. Prior to the issuance of grading permits for the Village 9 or off-site improvement area, the applicant shall provide written confirmation to the Development Services Director (or their designee) that a qualified paleontologist has been retained to carry out an appropriate mitigation program. A qualified paleontologist is defined as an individual with a M.S. or Ph.D. in paleontology or geology who is familiar with paleontological procedures and techniques. A pre-grade meeting shall be held among the paleontologist and the grading and excavation contractors. 5.7-5 Paleontological Monitor. A paleontological monitor shall be on site at all times during the original cutting of previously undisturbed sediments of the Otay Formation or Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits to inspect cuts for contained fossils. A paleontological monitor is defined as an individual who has experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials. The paleontological monitor shall work under the direction of a qualified paleontologist. i. The monitor shall be on site on at least a quarter-time basis during the original cutting of previously undisturbed sediments of low sensitivity geologic formations (Holocene alluvial deposits) to inspect cuts for contained fossils. He or she shall periodically (every several weeks) inspect original cuts in deposits with unknown resource sensitivity (i.e., Quaternary alluvium). ii. In the event that fossils are discovered in unknown, low, or moderately sensitive formations, the per-day field monitoring time shall be increased. Conversely, if fossils are not discovered, the monitoring, at the discretion of the Planning Department, shall be reduced. A paleontological monitor is not needed during grading of rocks with no resource sensitivity (Santiago Peak Volcanics). 5.7-6 Fossil Discovery Procedure. If fossils are discovered, the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall recover them. In most cases, this fossil salvage can be completed in a short time frame. However, some fossil specimens (such as a complete whale skeleton) may require an extended salvage time. In these instances, the paleontologist (or paleontological monitor) shall be allowed to temporarily direct, divert, or halt grading to allow recovery of fossil remains in a timely manner. Because of the potential for the recovery of small fossil remains such as isolated mammal teeth, it may be necessary in certain instances and at the discretion of the paleontological monitor to set up a screen-washing operation on the site. 5.7-7 Fossil Recording. Prepared fossils along with copies of all pertinent field notes, photos, and maps shall be deposited in a scientific institution with paleontological collections such as the San Diego Natural History Museum. A final summary report shall be completed. This report shall include discussions of the methods used, stratigraphy exposed, fossils collected, and significance of recovered fossils. 47 Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.7-4 through and 5.7-7 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Geology and Soils Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to geology and soils if it would: 1. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault. (Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42); strong seismic ground shaking; seismic- related ground failure, including liquefaction; and/or landslides. 2. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. 3. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. 4. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property. Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards Grading activities could result in slope instabilities or landslides within the project area (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Explanation Although no evidence of ancient landslides or slope instabilities was cited in the Geotechnical Investigation, grading activities associated with cut slopes could result in slope instabilities within the project area because grading could expose bentonitic claystone beds on the finished slope faces. Thus, slope stability is considered to be a potentially significant impact (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Mitigation Measures 5.8-1 Geotechnical Recommendations. Prior to the issuance of each grading permit for Village 9, the applicant shall verify that the applicable recommendations in the Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Advanced Geotechnical Solutions, Inc., dated November 9, 2010, have been incorporated into the final project design and construction documents to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. These 48 recommendations address issues including but not limited to site grading, backdrain systems, undercuts, excavation and fill, monitoring, and soil testing. Geotechnical review of grading plans shall include a review of all proposed storm drain facilities to ensure the storm water runoff would not interfere with the proposed geotechnical recommendations. 5.8-2 Slope Factor of Safety. All graded slopes shall have a minimum factor of safety of 1.5. Strategies to increase stability may include, but are not limited to, a stability buttress or sheer pins. All slopes stability strategies shall be approved by the City Engineer. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.8-1 and 5.8-2 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to exposure to seismic related hazards to a less than significant level. Impact: Soil Erosion or Topsoil Loss Impacts associated with soil erosion and topsoil loss during and following project construction would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Explanation During construction, erosion (including loss of topsoil), can occur or be accelerated by site preparation activities. Vegetation removal throughout the site could reduce soil cohesion, as well as the buffer provided by vegetation from wind, water, and surface disturbance, which could render the exposed soils more susceptible to erosive forces. Additionally, newly exposed soils from excavation or grading activities may also be vulnerable to erosion. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements would ensure that impacts associated with erosion and loss of topsoil would be minimized during construction activities. Following construction, implementation of the proposed drainage plan would reduce the long-term potential for erosion. Even though the project includes features and would implement best management to a less than significant level, these features are also prescribed as mitigation measures to assure implementation through buildout of the project (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Mitigation Measure In addition to mitigation measure 5.8-1 (listed above), implementation of mitigation measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-5 in Section 5.11 would also reduce impacts related to soil erosion and topsoil loss (listed below under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in Final EIR Section 5.11.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.8-1 (listed 49 above) and 5.11-1 and 5.11-5 (listed below under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in and in Final EIR Section 5.11.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to soil erosion or topsoil loss to a less than significant level. Impact: Soil Stability The presence of loose compressible materials within Village 9 could become unstable as a result of the project. As a result, there is the potential for Iandsliding, lateral spreading, liquefaction and/or collapse (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Explanation Loose, compressible soils are found over much of the project area, including alluvium, slope wash, topsoil and the undocumented artificial fill, and the highly weathered portions of older alluvium, terrace, and Otay Formation. These materials may settle under increased loads, or due to an increase in moisture content from changes in irrigation or site drainage. Thus, soils could become unstable over time. As a result, there is the potential for Iandsliding, lateral spreading, liquefaction and/or collapse as a result on compressible soils. These impacts are considered to be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Mitigation Measure Mitigation measures 5.8-1 and 5.8-2 would also reduce impacts related to slope stability (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.8.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.8-1 and 5.8-2 (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.8.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to soil stability to a less than significant level. Impact: Expansive Soils Soils within Village 9 have high to very high expansion potential. Development of structures on these soils could create substantial risks to life or property (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Explanation The predominately clayey sand and sandy clay materials, such as bentonite clays, within the Otay Formation, as well as the other materials on site, have a high to very high expansion potential in some areas. However, due to the wide range of expansion potential typically exhibited by soils in this area, areas may possess a very low expansion potential. Expansive soils within pavement, foundation or slab subgrade could heave when wetted, resulting in 50 cracking or failure of these developments improvements. This is considered to be a potentially significant impact (Final EIR Section 5.8.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.8-1 would also reduce impacts related to expansive soils (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.8.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.8-1 (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.8.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to expansive soils to a less than significant level. Public Services Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to public services if it would: 1. Further reduce the ability of properly equipped and staffed fire and medical units to respond to calls throughout the city within 7 minutes in 80 percent of the calls; or 2. Be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and policies regarding fire protection and emergency medical services thereby resulting in a significant physical impact. 3. Exceed the city's growth management threshold standard for police services to respond to Priority One emergency calls throughout the city (within 7 minutes in 81 percent of the cases and an average response time to all Priority One calls of 5.5 minutes or less); and/or exceed the city's growth management threshold standard to respond to Priority Two urgent calls throughout the city (within 7 minutes in 57 percent of cases and an average response time to all Priority Two calls of 7.5 minutes or less). 4. Be inconsistent with General Plan objectives and policies regarding police protection thereby resulting in a significant physical impact. 5. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered school facilities, need for new or physically altered school facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for educational facilities services. 6. Locate schools in areas where disturbing factors such as traffic hazards, airports, or other incompatible land uses are present; in areas where they are not integrated into the 51 system of alternative transportation corridors, such as bike lanes, riding and hiking trails, and mass transit; where private elementary and secondary schools are not spaced far enough from public schools and each other to prevent a concentration of school impacts; with at least 10 usable acres for an elementary school; without a central location to residential development; adjacent to a street or road which cannot safely accommodate bike, foot, and vehicular traffic; in areas not adjacent to parks, thereby discouraging joint field and recreation facility uses; at an unsafe distance from contaminants or toxins in the soil or groundwater from landfills, fuel tanks, agricultural areas, power lines, utility easements, and so on; or inside of floodplains; on unstable soils; or near fault lines. 7. Fail to meet the city's growth management threshold standard of 500 gross square feet of library space, adequately equipped and staffed, per 1,000 population. 8. Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated. 9. Fail to meet the City's growth management threshold standard for parks and recreation of three acres of neighborhood and community parkland per 1,000 residents east of 1- 805. Impact: Fire Protection Service Standards The anticipated increase in residential population of 10,923 people and the employment base from 1.5 million square feet of commercial and office development would increase demand on fire and emergency medical services. The increase in demand would be significant if fully operational and appropriately equipped and staffed fire stations are not provided commensurate with the demand on fire and emergency medical services (Final EIR Section 5.9.1.3). Explanation Project build-out would result in a residential population of approximately 10,923 people and approximately 1.5 million square feet of non-residential uses. This increase in residences and commercial facilities would result in an increase in demand for fire and emergency medical services, and an increase in demand for water for fire protection. An increase in demand for fire and emergency medical services could also increase response times. A Fire Service Analysis was completed for Village 9 that determined when provision of new fire station facilities would be required in order to serve Village 9 and comply with the Growth Management Oversight (GMO) threshold standard for response times (ESCi 2013). Development in Village 9 would trigger the need for new fire service facilities because it would increase the response area of the CVFD, and would also increase structure density and height relative to development in other areas of the city. Mid-rise and high-rise buildings require more resources to combat fire events (ESCi 2013). The Fire Service Analysis determined that development of the first structure over four stories in height, development of more than three structures that are three or more stories in height, or construction of the first structure over 104,000 square feet in the Urban Center would require service from proposed off-site Fire Station #10 in the EUC. Any construction in the Urban Neighborhood, Town Center, or Neighborhood Center would require service from either Fire Station #10 or an off-site fire station in Village 8 West. Any development in the Neighborhood Edge or Neighborhood General zones would require service from a fire station in Village 8 West. 52 The timing of construction of the off-site permanent stations is not known at this time. The Fire Service Analysis also concluded that construction of a temporary fire station in Village 9 with staffing and configuration that is acceptable to the Fire Chief would be adequate to serve Village 9 until permanent facilities are constructed. In accordance with the Fire Service Analysis, the temporary facility would be constructed if any of the above triggers for service from Fire Station #10 or the Village 8 West facility would be met prior to operation of these permanent facilities. Fire services and implementation of the CVFD's Fire Station Master Plan, including Fire Station #10, are funded through development impact fees collected as part of the Chula Vista Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) Program. Implementation of the project would require the collection of the PFDIF. The PFDIF addresses the project's proportional impact on capital facilities, such as structures and equipment, associated with the fire protection. It does not address the impact associated with operations and maintenance for those facilities. It is the City's policy to use public funds such as property taxes, sales taxes, and fees generated by the project to cover the incremental costs associated with providing fire services. Development within Village 9 would be required to pay the PFDIF, as well as all future taxes and fees adopted by the City to cover fire protection services. This impact would be potentially significant if these mechanisms are not enforced. Therefore, mitigation is required. The project would create demand for water for fire protection that would result in an adverse impact if adequate water supply would not be available to provide the necessary fire flows for the site. The Otay Water District (OWD) approved a Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report (WSAV) in November 2010 for Village 9. The WSAV determined that sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, under normal conditions and in single-dry and multiple-dry water years to meet the projected demand of the proposed Village 9 project and the existing and other planned development projects to be served by OWD. However, approval of a Subarea Master Plan prior to approval of the first final map is required to ensure that adequate and appropriate infrastructure is developed to serve the project's water needs, including fire flows for individual buildings. Therefore, mitigation is required. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.15.1-3 would also reduce impacts related to fire protection (listed below under the Public Utilities, Impact: Compliance with City-wide Water Supply Thresholds heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.15.1). 5.9.1-1 Public Facilities Development Impact Fees. Prior to the approval of each building permit, the applicant shall pay a Public Facilities Development Impact Fee in accordance with the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance and phasing approved in the Public Facilities Finance Plan. Subject to approval of the City Council, in lieu of paying the required impact fee, the applicant may satisfy that requirement through a written agreement, by which the applicant agrees to either pay the fee or build the facility in question, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. 5.9.1-2 Growth Management Program's Fire and Emergency Medical Service Threshold Standard. The City of Chula Vista shall continue to monitor the Chula Vista Fire Department responses to emergency fire and medical calls and report the results to the Growth Management Oversight Commission on an annual basis. 53 5.9.1-3 Fire Code Compliance. Prior to the approval of each building permit and to the satisfaction of the City of Chula Vista Fire Marshal, the project shall meet the provisions of the current city-adopted California fire code. In meeting said provisions, the project shall meet the minimum fire flow requirements based upon construction type and square footage. 5.9.1-4 Fuel Modification Easements. Prior to approval of a Final Map requiring off-site fuel modification, as determined the City Fire Marshal, the applicant shall secure any required permits and/or access easements necessary to perform the required brush abatement activities contained in the Village 9 Fire Protection Plan (Village 9 SPA Plan, Appendix F), to the satisfaction of the City's Fire Marshal and Development Services Director. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.1-1 through 5.9.1-4 (listed above) and 5.15.1-3 (listed below under the Public Utilities, Impact: Compliance with City-wide Water Supply Thresholds heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.15.1) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to fire protection service standards to a less than significant level. Impact: Consistency with Fire and Emergency Medical Service Policies The increase in fire and emergency medical service demand associated with the project would be significant if fully operational and appropriately equipped and staffed fire stations are not provided commensurate with the demand on fire and emergency medical services (Final EIR Section 5.9.1.3). Explanation Table 5.9-3 and 5.9-4 in Section 5.9.1.3 in the Final EIR evaluates the consistency of the project with the applicable General Plan objectives and GDP objectives. While the combination of PFDIF fees from the applicant, implementation of the Public Facility Finance Plan (PFFP), and compliance with existing city policies and mechanisms would ensure that the GMOC threshold standard is achieved. This impact would be potentially significant if these mechanisms are not enforced. Therefore, mitigation is required (Final EIR Section 5.9.1.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.1-1 through 5.9.1-4 would also reduce impacts related to consistency with fire and emergency medical service policies (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Fire Protection Service Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.1.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.1-1 through 54 5.9.1-4 (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Fire Protection Service Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.1.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to consistency with fire and emergency medical service policies to a less than significant level. Impact: Police Service Standards The project would result in a potentially significant increase demand on police protection if additional police officers are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.2.3). Explanation The Chula Vista Police Department does not currently meet the GMOC response time thresholds for Priority Two calls. The project would incrementally increase Priority Two calls, which could make meeting the priority threshold more difficult. Additional staffing and equipment would be required to bring the Police Department in compliance with the Priority Two call threshold (Final EIR Section 5.9.2.3). Mitigation Measures 5.9.2-1 Public Facilities Development Impact Fees. Prior to the issuance of each building permit for any residential dwelling units, the applicant(s) shall pay a Public Facilities Development Impact Fee in accordance with the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance and phasing approved in the Public Facilities Finance Plan, unless stated otherwise in a separate development agreement. 5.9.2-2 Growth Management Program's Police Threshold Standard. The City of Chula Vista shall continue to monitor the Chula Vista Police Department responses to emergency calls and report the results to the Growth Management Oversight Commission on an annual basis. 5.9.2-3 Crime Prevention through Environmental Design Features. Prior to the issuance of each building permit, site plans shall be reviewed by the Chula Vista Police Department or their designee to ensure the incorporation of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design features and other recommendations of the Chula Vista Police Department, including, but not limited to, controlled access points to parking lots and buildings; maximizing the visibility along building fronts, sidewalks, and public parks; and providing adequate street, parking lot, and parking structure visibility and lighting. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.2-1 through 5.9.2-3 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to police service standards to a less than significant level. 55 Impact: Consistency with Police Service Policies The project would conflict with police service policies if additional police officers are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.2.3). Explanation Table 5.9-5 and 5.9-6 in Section 5.9.1.3 in the Final EIR evaluates the consistency of the project with the applicable General Plan objectives and GDP objectives. While the combination of PFDIF fees from the applicant, implementation of the PFFP, and compliance with existing city policies and mechanisms would ensure that the GMOC threshold standard is achieved, this impact would be potentially significant if these mechanisms are not enforced. Therefore, mitigation is required (Final EIR Section 5.9.2.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.2-1 through 5.9.2-3 would also reduce impacts related to consistency with police service policies (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Police Service Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.2.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.2-1 through 5.9.2-3 (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Police Service Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.2.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to consistency with policy service policies to a less than significant level. Impact: School Facilities Project implementation would result in a significant impact to elementary and middle schools unless construction of an elementary school, a middle school, and high school coincides with student generation and associated service demands (Final EIR Section 5.9.3.3). Explanation The Chula Vista Elementary School District has estimated that buildout of the proposed SPA Plan's 4,000 residential units would generate approximately 890 elementary school students (Final EIR Section 5.9.3.3). To provide for future elementary school demand, two alternative elementary school sites have been reserved in the SPA Plan in Planning Areas G and W. Either of these sites may be developed as an elementary school if selected by the school district. The primary school site, reserved as Planning Areas W consists of 11.7 acres of land located in the Urban Neighborhood Zone. An alternative site, reserved as Planning Areas H-1 and H-2, consists of 10.3 acres of land located in the Town Center. If either site is selected by the Chula Vista Elementary School District, each site will be large enough to accommodate approximately 750 students.. Until such time that the school would be completed, students residing within Village 9 would attend schools in neighboring villages as determined by the school district. Currently, the Chula Vista Elementary School District has excess capacity for 1,728 elementary school students. There is sufficient capacity throughout the district at this time to accommodate 56 additional elementary school students. However, an impact to the Chula Vista Elementary School District would occur if the proposed elementary school site is not protected to serve future demand. The project would generate approximately 327 middle school students. Middle School students residing in Village 9 would attend the planned Middle School for Otay Ranch, located in Village 11 or in Village 8 West. Until such time that this school would be completed, students residing within Village 9 would attend schools in neighboring villages as determined by the school district. According to the SUHSD, the Village 9 project is within the Eastlake Middle School attendance area. Historically, enrollment at this school has met or exceeded capacity. Therefore, the increase in students as a result of Village 9 would result in a significant temporary impact on neighboring middle schools until completion of the new middle school. The project would generate approximately 488 high school students. According to the SUHSD, high school students residing in Village 9 would attend Olympian High School, located in Village 7, adjacent to the proposed middle school. Olympian High School was constructed according to the GDP in order to accommodate planned growth in the area surrounding the school, including Village 9. However, this high school does not have the capacity to accommodate all of the high school students from Village 9. In the future, high school students from Village 9 or currently attending Olympian High School may be able to attend the proposed school in Village 11. Another high school is being planned at the intersection of Hunte Parkway and Eastlake Parkway. Until such time that another school would be completed, the project would result in temporary impact on Olympian High School. Mitigation Measures 5.9.3-1 School Service Fees. Prior to the issuance of each building permit, the applicant(s) shall provide the city with evidence or certification by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Unified High School District that any fee charge, dedication, or other requirement levied by the school district has been complied with or that the district has determined the fee, charge, dedication or other requirements does not apply to the construction. 5.9.3-2 School Site Protection. Prior to approval of a final map for private development on Planning Areas G or W, designated for future schools, the applicant shall provide evidence from the Chula Vista Elementary School District that the site has not been determined by the district to be needed for use as a school site. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.3-1 and 5.9.3-2 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to school facilities to a less than significant level. 57 Impact: Schools Siting The potential exists for pesticides/herbicides to occur at the future school site and for potential unstable soils to occur on site (Final EIR Section 5.9.3.3). Explanation The proposed school sites must comply with the Chula Vista Elementary School District and state standards regarding health and safety issues, including the potential for toxins in the soil. The possible presence of pesticide/herbicides has been detected in on-site soils in some areas of the project. As such, additional testing would be required prior to grading and any contaminated soils would need to be remediated in accordance with County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health and Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements. Additionally, unstable soils could occur on site and the region is seismically active (Final EIR Section 5.9.3.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.8-1 (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.8.5) and 5.13-1 (listed below under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials: Hazardous Materials Transport, Use, Disposal, or Release heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.13.5) would reduce impacts related to school siting. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.8-1 and 5.13- 1 (listed above under the Geology and Soils, Impact: Exposure to Seismic Related Hazards heading, and below under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials: Hazardous Materials Transport, Use, Disposal, or Release heading) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related school siting to a less than significant level. Impact: Library Service Standard The project would increase demand on library services, which would be significant if library resources are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.4.3). Explanation Village 9 would generate a demand for approximately 5,462 square feet of additional library facilities within the city. The city does not currently meet the GMOC threshold standard of 500 square feet of library service for every 1,000 residents. As envisioned in Chula Vista's Library Facilities Master Plan, a future library is proposed in the EUC that would serve Village 9. Construction of the Rancho del Rey and the library facility proposed in the EUC would result in a total of 60,000 gross square feet of library space. This amount would accommodate the increase in population as a result of the development proposed in Village 9, and maintain acceptable service ratios. Library facilities would also be permitted throughout Village 9. However, the project's increase in demand on library services would be significant if library resources are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.4.3). 58 Mitigation Measures 5.9.4-1 Public Facility Development Impact Fees. Prior to the issuance of each building permit for any residential dwelling units, the applicant shall pay a required Public Facilities Development Impact Fee in accordance with the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance and phasing approved in the Public Facilities Finance Plan. 5.9.4-2 Growth Management Program's Libraries Threshold Standard. The City of Chula Vista shall continue to monitor library facilities and services and report the results to the Growth Management Oversight Commission on an annual basis. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.4-1 and 5.9.4-2 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to the library service standard to a less than significant level. Impact: Deterioration of Parks and Recreation Facilities The project would increase demand on recreational facilities, which would be significant if the proposed parks and recreational facilities are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.5.3). Explanation The project would potentially increase use of existing and proposed regional and community parks. However, the project would provide parks and recreational facilities to serve the population of Village 9. The Village 9 SPA Plan provides 23 eligible acres of parks, which does not meet the requirements of the GDP, Quimby Act, or CVMC. However, Village 8 West SPA would provide a total of 27.1 acres of parks, which exceeds its park requirement by 9.4 acres. Village 8 West is a separate project from Village 9; however, both are currently owned and controlled by the Village 9 project applicant. The applicant is proposing to meet a portion of the Village 9 park obligation (9 acres) within the boundaries of the Village 8 West project. The applicant is proposing to dedicate parkland acreage and pay applicable parkland development fees for the development of park sites located within the boundaries of Village 9 (a total of 23 acres) and dedicate 9 acres of parkland located within Village 8 West (and pay applicable parkland development fees) thereby meeting the overall Village 9 project park obligation. However, if construction of new parks would not coincide with development of residences in Village 9, a potentially significant impact would occur (Final EIR Section 5.9.5.3). Mitigation Measures 5.9.5-1 Public Facility Development Impact Fees. Prior to the issuance of each building permit for any residential dwelling units, the applicant shall pay recreation facility development impact fees (part of the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee) in accordance with the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance and phasing approved in the Village 9 Public Facilities Finance Plan, subject to approval of the Director of Recreation. 59 5.9.5-2 Park Acquisition and Development Fees. Prior to the approval of each final map for the project, or, for any residential development project within Village 9 that does not require a final map, prior to building permit approval, the applicant shall pay applicable Park Acquisition and Development in-lieu fees for the area covered by the final map(s). The payment of in-lieu fees shall be in accordance with the phasing indicated in the Project's approved SPA Plan, and a park agreement, if any, subject to approval of the Director of Recreation. In-lieu fees shall be based on the Park Acquisition and Development fees in effect at the time of issuance of building permits, unless stated otherwise in a parks or development agreement. 5.9.5-3 Growth Management Program's Parks and Recreation Threshold Standard. The City of Chula Vista shall continue to monitor parks and recreation services and report the results to the Growth Management Oversight Commission on an annual basis. 5.9.5-4 Dedication of Parkland. Prior to approval of the first final map for the project, the applicant shall offer for dedication all public parkland identified in the Project's approved SPA Plan, or as approved by the Director of Recreation. Park facilities such as Town Squares and privately owned/mini pedestrian parks identified as being required to meet the overall park obligation shall be identified on the first final map and shall be publically accessible. 5.9.5-5 Town Square Parks and Pedestrian Parks. Prior to issuance of the 192nd residential building permit in Planning Areas M, N, P, and Q, or in a combination thereof, the Town Square Park in Planning Area I shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Recreation. Prior to issuance of the 4601h residential building permit in Planning Areas A, B-1 and B-2, or in a combination thereof, the Town Square Park in Planning Area C shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Recreation. Prior to the issuance of the 7191h residential building permit south of Street H, the Pedestrian Parks in Planning Areas GG, HH, and 11, including the pedestrian trail through OS-3 connecting Planning Areas HH and 11, shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Recreation. 5.9.5-6 Off-site Park Obligation. Prior to the recordation of the first final map, the applicant shall have offered for dedication to the City a 9.0 acre park site within Village 8 West or other suitable off-site parkland subject to the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services. 5.9.5-7 Park Development Agreement. Prior to the approval of the first final map for Village 9 the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the City that provides the following: dedication of public park sites, payment of Park Development Agreement Fees, schedule for completion of improvements, including utilities to streets adjacent to the park sites, all to the satisfaction of the Director of Recreation and Director of Development Services. Under the current method for delivery of new parks the city will award a design-build contract for the Project's neighborhood park. The agreement will include provisions that in the event the City chooses not to go forward with a design-build contact, the applicant will be obligated to fully comply with the Parkland Ordinance and park threshold standards by constructing the parks in accordance with all City standards and under a time schedule as specified in the agreement. 60 Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.5-1 through 5.9.5-7 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to deterioration of parks and recreational facilities to a less than significant level. Impact: Parks and Recreation Standard The project would increase demand on recreational facilities, which would be significant if the proposed parks and recreational facilities are not provided commensurate with demand (Final EIR Section 5.9.5.3). Explanation According to the CVMC Chapter 17.10, the method used to calculate the amount of actual required park space is 460 square feet developed park land per each single-family unit and 341 square feet per each multi-family unit. According to this method, Village 9 would be obligated to provide approximately 32 acres of parkland. Village 9 would provide a total of 23 acres of eligible parks. The excess park acreage in Village 8 West represents aggregated park acreage obligation from Village 8 West and Village 9 and it is the intent of the Village 8 SPA Plan to obligate the dedication of such park acreage from Village 8 West to satisfy a portion of Village 9's park obligation as needed. However, if construction of new parks, either in Village 8 West or an alternative location, would not coincide with development of residences in Village 9, a potentially significant impact would occur (Final EIR Section 5.9.5.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.5-1 through 5.9.5-7 would also reduce impacts related to the parks and recreation growth management threshold standard (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Deterioration of Parks and Recreation Facilities heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.5.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.5-1 through 5.9.5-7 (listed above under the Public Services, Impact: Deterioration of Parks and Recreation Facilities heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.9.5.5) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to the parks and recreation standard to a less than significant level. 61 Hydrology and Water Quality Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to hydrology and water quality if it would: 1. Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, including City of Chula Vista engineering standards for storm water flows and volumes. 2. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner, which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off the site or City of Chula Vista Engineering Standards for storm water flows and volumes. 3. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on or off the site. 4. Create or contribute runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. 5. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality. Impact: Water Quality Standards Construction and operational activities could violate water quality standards or waste discharge requirements (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Explanation Pollutants associated with construction would degrade water quality if they were washed by storm water or non-storm water into surface waters. Sediment is often the most common pollutant associated with construction sites because of the associated earth-moving activities and areas of exposed soil. Hydrocarbons such as fuels, asphalt materials, oils, and hazardous materials such as paints and concrete slurries discharged from construction sites could also impact aquatic plants and animals downstream. Debris and trash could be washed into existing storm drainage channels to downstream surface waters and could impact aquatic wildlife, wetland or riparian habitat and aesthetic value. Construction activities would potentially result in a significant change in local receiving water quality if best management practices (BMPs) are not put in place to prevent polluted runoff from entering Otay River. There are multiple pollutants associated with operations of land uses proposed in Village 9 including sediment, nutrients, heavy metals, organic compounds, trash and debris, oxygen demanding substances, oil and grease, bacteria and viruses, and pesticides. The San Diego Bay is impaired for organic compounds. Therefore, organic compounds are a pollutant of concern associated with the project. Increased runoff from the development of future land uses as designated in the project area, and an associated increase in impervious surfaces, would potentially result in the contribution of non-point source pollution, including organic compounds, 62 into Otay River, and ultimately San Diego Bay, that would degrade water quality (Final EIR Section 5.11.2). Mitigation Measures 5.11-1 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Prior to issuance of each grading permit for the Village 9 SPA Plan area or any land development permit, including clearing and grading, the project applicant shall submit a notice of intent and obtain coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for construction activity from the State Water Resources Control Board. Adherence to all conditions of the General Permit for Construction Activity is required. The applicant shall be required under the State Water Resources Control Board General Construction Permit to develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and monitoring plan that shall be submitted to the City Engineer and the Director of Public Works. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan shall be incorporated into the grading and drainage plans and shall specify both construction and post-construction structural and non- structural best management practices on site to reduce the amount of sediments and pollutants in construction and post-construction surface runoff before it is discharged into off-site storm water facilities. Section 7 of the City's Storm Water Manual outlines construction site best management practices requirements. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan shall also address operation and maintenance of post- construction pollution prevention measures, including short-term and long-term funding sources and the party or parties that will be responsible for said measures. The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan shall incorporate construction and post- construction best management practices as outlined in the Village 9 Edge Plan. The grading plans shall note the condition requiring a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and monitoring plans. 5.11-2 Supplemental Water Quality Report. Prior to issuance of each grading permit, the applicant shall submit a supplemental report to the Preliminary Water Quality Technical Report for Village 9 prepared by Hunsaker & Associates dated August 10, 2011 that identifies which on-site storm water management measures from the Water Quality Technical Report have been incorporated into the project, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. If a storm water management option is chosen by the planning area owner that is not shown in the water quality technical report, a project-specific water quality technical report shall be prepared for the planning area, referencing the Master Water Quality Technical Report for Village 9 for information relevant to regional design concepts (e.g., downstream conditions of concern) to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 5.11-3 Post-Construction/Permanent Best Management Practices. Prior to issuance of each grading permit, the City Engineer shall verify that parcel owners have incorporated and will implement post-construction best management practices in accordance with current regulations. In particular, applicants are required to comply with the requirements of Section 2c of the Chula Vista Standard Urban Storm Water Management Plan, the Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual, and the Master Water Quality Technical Report for Village 9 or any supplements thereto to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Specifically, the applicant shall implement low impact development best management practices in the preparation of all site plans and, the applicant shall incorporate structural on-site design features into the project 63 design to address site design and treatment control best management practices as well as requirements of the hydromodification management plan. The applicant shall monitor and mitigate any erosion in downstream locations that may occur because of on-site development. 5.11-4 Limitation of Grading. The project applicant shall comply with the Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual limitation of grading requirements, which limit disturbed soil area to 100 acres, unless expansion of a disturbed area is specifically approved by the Director of Public Works. With any phasing resulting from this limitation, if required, the project applicant shall provide, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, erosion and sediment control best management practices in areas that may not be completed, before grading of additional area begins. 5.11-5 Hydromodification Criteria. The project applicant shall comply, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, with city hydromodification criteria or the hydrograph modification management plan, as applicable, addressed regionally at the SPA Plan level concurrent with grading and improvement plans for the project. 5.11-6 Outfall Erosion. Developer shall monitor any erosion at the project's outfall at the Otay River and, prior to the last building permit for the project, obtain approval for and complete any reconstructive work necessary to eliminate any existing erosion and prevent future erosion from occurring, all to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.11-1 and 5.11-6 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to water quality standards to a less than significant level. Impact: Erosion or Siltation The project includes features and would implement BMPs to reduce the amount and rate of runoff to a less than significant level; however, these features are also prescribed as mitigation measures to assure implementation and facilitate monitoring through buildout of the project (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Explanation Natural channel flow occurs on site and development of Village 9 would alter the existing drainage pattern of the site. The northeastern corner of the site in the Hunte/Eastlake basin would drain to the Otay River via the University site. The remainder of the site, and a portion of the future EUC site, would drain to the Otay River via one of two discharge points from the site. Storm drains are proposed to convey the majority of the post-project flows to the Otay River discharge point at the southern edge of Village 9. The remaining post-project flows would be conveyed by storm drains to another discharge point located on the western boundary of Village 9, adjacent to Otay Valley Road. Drainages serving the project site would be susceptible to 64 increased erosion resulting from increased peak flow rates, increased runoff volumes, and duration, which would result in a potentially significant impact. Installation of the proposed drainage facilities at construction would minimize these impacts to a less than significant level. However, mitigation would be required to ensure that the facilities are implemented and monitored throughout buildout of the project (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Mitigation Measures Implementation of mitigation measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-6 in Section 5.11 would also reduce impacts related to soil erosion and siltation (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.11-1 and 5.11-6 (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to erosion or siltation to a less than significant level. Impact: Surface Runoff Impacts associated with altering the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-the site would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Explanation Village 9 currently consists almost entirely of permeable surfaces. The project, which would involve the replacement of the permeable surfaces and exposed soils with urban development, would substantially change the amount of impervious surface area within the project. Therefore, drainages serving the southern basin would be susceptible to increased peak flow rates and increased runoff volumes, which would result in a potentially significant flooding impact (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Mitigation Measure Implementation of mitigation measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-6 in Section 5.11 would also reduce impacts related to surface runoff (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.11-1 and 5.11-6 (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of 65 approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to surface runoff to a less than significant level. Impact: Exceed Drainage Capacity Impacts associated with creating or contributing runoff water would potentially exceed the capacity of existing storm water drainage systems if the proposed drainage features are not implemented (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Explanation A drainage system has been designed for the project with the capacity to convey post-project flows during the 100-year storm event and includes energy dissipaters to minimize the potential for erosion. The project would not result in an increase in siltation or erosion because of increased flows to Otay River. The project would not result in runoff water that would exceed the capacity of drainage systems. Even though the project includes features to reduce the amount and rate of runoff to a less than significant level, these features are also prescribed as mitigation measures to assure implementation and facilitate monitoring through buildout of the project (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Mitigation Measures Implementation of mitigation measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-6 in Section 5.11 would also reduce impacts related to drainage capacity (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.11-1 and 5.11-6 (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to drainage capacity to a less than significant level. Impact: Degradation of Water Quality Construction and operation of the proposed project would potentially generate pollutants or runoff that would degrade water quality (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). Explanation The BMPs proposed in the water quality report would ensure that runoff associated with development of infrastructure and mass grading of the site would not result in a substantial source of polluted runoff that would degrade water quality. The proposed drainage system would not result in an increase in erosion or siltation off site. However, supplemental water quality studies are required to indentify which site-specific BMPs identified in the water quality technical report would be necessary for individual development projects to comply with the manual. Therefore, impacts related to water quality would be potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.11.3). 66 Mitigation Measures Implementation of mitigation measures 5.11-1 through 5.11-6 in Section 5.11 would also reduce impacts related to water quality (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.11-1 and 5.11-6 (listed above under the Hydrology and Water Quality, Impact: Water Quality Standards heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.4) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to water quality to a less than significant level. Agricultural Resources Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to agricultural resources if it would: 1. Convert prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the FMMP of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. 2. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract. Impact: Direct Conversion of Agricultural Resources Implementation of the Village 9 SPA and TM would result in a significant impact to agricultural resources, due to the on-site loss of approximately 190 acres of farmland of local importance and grazing land. Short-term land use incompatibility issues from ongoing agricultural activities adjacent to urban land uses would be significant without implementation of the Agricultural Plan. Explanation Once fully developed, Village 9 would eliminate the potential for agricultural activity to occur on site; however, portions of Village 9 may continue to be used for grazing or dry farming while adjacent uses are developed. Agricultural use of Village 9 is currently constrained because of the lack of a reliable and affordable source of water. Additionally, the General Plan states that agricultural production in Chula Vista is not significant in terms of countywide agricultural value and is not a major factor in the local economy. Long-term agricultural uses are not planned for the City. Nevertheless, the project will contribute to an incremental loss of grazing land. Consistent with earlier findings in the 1993 Otay Ranch GDP Program EIR, this is considered a potentially significant impact (Final EIR Section 5.12.3). Mitigation Measures 5.12-1 Agricultural Plan. The Agricultural Plan included in the SPA Plan shall be implemented as development proceeds in Village 9. The following measures shall 67 be implemented to the satisfaction of the Chula Vista Development Services Director (or their designee): i. Prior to approval of each building permit, the applicant shall ensure that a 200- foot fenced buffer shall be maintained between development and any ongoing agricultural operations on the property. ii. In those areas where pesticides are to be applied, the farmland owner shall utilize vegetation to shield adjacent urban development (within 400 feet) from agricultural activities. Use of pesticides shall comply with federal, state, and local regulations. iii. If permitted interim agricultural uses require the use of pesticides, the farmland owner shall notify adjacent developed property owners of potential pesticide application a minimum of 10 days prior to application through advertisements in newspapers of general circulation. Limits shall be established as to the time of day and type of pesticide applications that may be used. The use of pesticides shall comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.12-1 (listed above) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to land use zoning conflicts to a less than significant level. Impact: Land Use Zoning Conflicts Impacts related to land use zoning conflicts and consistency with agricultural resource policies would be potentially significant if the Agricultural Plan is not implemented concurrent with development (Final EIR Section 5.12.3). Explanation Agricultural activities in the city are allowed on lands zoned for Planned Community (P-C) on an interim basis. The SPA area is zoned planned community and interim agricultural land uses are allowed within Village 9, although no agricultural activities currently take place on the site. Interim agricultural activities would continue to be permitted on the project site during the phased development of the project, but would cease upon full project buildout. Development is not required to maintain the potential for agricultural land used in the planned community zone. Impacts related to land use zoning conflicts and consistency with agricultural resource policies would be potentially significant if the Agricultural Plan is not implemented concurrent with development (Final EIR Section 5.12.3). Mitigation Measures Implementation of mitigation measure 5.12-1 would also reduce impacts related to land use zoning conflicts (listed above under the Agricultural Resources, Impact: Direct Conversion of Agricultural Resources heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.12.5). 68 Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.12-1 (listed above under the Agricultural Resources, Impact: Direct Conversion of Agricultural Resources heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.12.5) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to land use zoning conflicts to a less than significant level. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to hazards and hazardous materials if it would: 1. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials; or create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. 2. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. 3. Is located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport and would result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area 4. Be inconsistent with General Plan, GDP, and other objectives and policies regarding hazards thereby resulting in a significant physical impact. 5. Result in an increase in the uses, transport, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste materials and an associated increase in the risk of an upset condition in the area; and/or the historic use of pesticides would result in soil contamination and health effects. Impact: Hazardous Materials Transport, Use, Disposal, or Release Potentially significant impacts related to accidental release of hazardous materials could result from the exposure of construction workers, future residents, and the future on-site schools to pesticide residue occurring in soils on the site (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Explanation Construction activities in Village 9 would involve the use of common but potentially hazardous materials, including vehicle fuels, paints, cleaning materials, and caustic construction compounds. While these substances could pose a potential health risk to construction workers and to the general public during transport, handling of these common, potentially hazardous materials would occur in accordance with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and would be disposed of in accordance with state and county 69 regulations. Adherence to federal, state and local regulations regarding the use and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes would reduce potential impacts on human health and safety from handling and transport of hazardous construction materials to less than significant. Occupation of proposed commercial and residential development and maintenance of parks and other public facilities would also involve the use or storage of common hazardous materials, including cleaning solvents typically used in multi-family residential and commercial development, pesticides and related chemicals associated with landscaping maintenance, and paints and solvents. Certain permitted land uses, such as dry cleaners and gas stations, also require the use, storage, and transport of hazardous chemicals or materials, which are regulated by current federal and state regulations, such a RCRA. Health clinics and urgent care facilities would have the potential to generate hazardous medical wastes; however, these facilities would also be regulated by federal and state regulation. Compliance with all applicable regulations would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. However, as stated in the Phase I ESA prepared for the project, the potential exists for pesticide residue to be uncovered in the soils on the site that could result in an exposure risk to construction workers and future residents of Village 9. This impact could be potentially significant. Mitigation Measures 5.13-1 Soil Assessment. Prior to issuance of a mass grade permit, the applicant shall prepare a soils assessment to the satisfaction of the City Engineer to determine if residual pesticides, herbicides, and/or arsenic are present on site. The assessment shall be prepared by a Registered Environmental Assessor in accordance with Department of Toxic Substances Control guidance document. The assessment shall include analysis for organochlorine pesticides that include compounds such as toxaphene, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, which have been historically identified at properties in the site vicinity. The concentrations of the contaminants shall be compared to Department of Toxic Substances Control soil screening levels for residential land use. If levels of contamination exceeding the Department of Toxic Substances Control screening levels are found on site, a Soil Reuse Plan shall be prepared prior to construction on site. The Soil Reuse Plan shall include a determination of the suitability of the soils for on-site or off-site reuse, any special handling provisions that shall be incorporated as part of the site grading activities, and the procedure for the proper remediation and disposal of the contaminated soils, either on site or off site. The results of the limited soil assessment and the Soil Reuse Plan shall be submitted to the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health, the Development Services Director (or their designee), and/or the Regional Water Quality Control Board for review and approval, prior to implementation. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.13-1 (listed above) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to routine use and accidental release of hazardous materials to a less than significant level. 70 Impact: Hazards to Schools Potentially significant impacts related to hazards to schools could result from the exposure of construction workers, future residents, and the future on-site schools to pesticide residue occurring in soils on the site (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Explanation The Phase I ESA prepared for the Village 9 area identified the possible presence of pesticides/ herbicides in shallow soil from the historical agricultural use within the area. Elevated levels of pesticides in the near surface soils at the project area could be disturbed from grading and trenching activities and result in an increased health risk to future school uses. This impact is potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.13-1 would also reduce impacts related to hazards to schools (listed above under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Routine Use and Accidental release of Hazardous Materials heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.13-1 (listed above under the Hazardous Materials: Hazardous Materials Transport, Use, Disposal, or Release heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to hazards to schools to a less than significant level. Impact: Airport Hazards Potentially significant impacts could result from the location of structures proposed in Village 9 within a FAA notification area (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Explanation Village 9 is located approximately 1.75 miles to the northeast of Brown Field, a City of San Diego municipal airport. Due to the limited height allowed in Village 9, it is not anticipated that development of the tallest structures would result in an obstruction to air traffic. However, because Village 9 is located within the FAA Height Notification Boundary and Airport Overflight Notification Area, proper notification in compliance with the Brown Field Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan is required to reduce this impact to a less than significant level (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Mitigation Measures 5.13-2 Federal Aviation Administration Notification. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the first structure and/or dwelling unit within the Airport Influence Area of Brown Field, the applicant shall prepare and file a Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed 71 Construction or Alteration, with the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure that no objects related to development in Village 9 would present a hazard to air navigation. 5.13-3 Federal Aviation Administration Clearance. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for the first structure and/or dwelling unit within the Airport Influence Area of Brown Field, the applicant shall obtain and provide proof of Federal Aviation Administration clearance to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director (or their designee). 5.13-4 Airport Overflight Agreement. Prior to approval of the first Final Map for those areas within the overflight notification area for Brown Field, the applicant shall record the Airport Overflight Agreement with the County Recorder's office, and provide a signed copy of the recorded Airport Overflight Agreement to the Chula Vista Development Service Director (or their designee). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.13-2 through 5.13-4 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to airport hazards to a less than significant level. Impact: Consistency with Hazard Policies Potential conflicts with the GDP hazards policies could occur as a result of pesticide residue occurring in soils on the site (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Explanation Potentially elevated levels of pesticides in the near surface soils at the project area could be disturbed from grading and trenching activities and result in an increased health risk to construction workers on site and future inhabitants of the proposed development. This impact is potentially significant because it would conflict with GDP goals to promote public safety and provide public protection from manmade hazards (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.13-1 would also reduce impacts related to consistency with hazard Policies (listed above under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Routine Use and Accidental release of Hazardous Materials heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.13-1 (listed above under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Routine Use and Accidental release of Hazardous Materials heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation 72 of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to consistency with hazard policies to a less than significant level. Impact: Historic Use of Pesticides Potentially significant impacts related to historic use of pesticides could result from the exposure of construction workers, future residents, and the future on-site schools to pesticide residue occurring in soils on the site (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Explanation As previously described, the Phase I ESA prepared for the Village 9 area identified the possible presence of pesticides/ herbicides in shallow soil from the historical agricultural use within the area. Elevated levels of pesticides in the near surface soils at the project area could be disturbed from grading and trenching activities and result in an increased health risk to construction workers on site and future inhabitants of the proposed development, particularly the future residential and school uses, and potentially impact water quality through storm water runoff. This impact is potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.13.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.13-1 would also reduce impacts related to consistency with hazard Policies (listed above under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Routine Use and Accidental release of Hazardous Materials heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5). Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measure 5.13-1 (listed above under the Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Impact: Routine Use and Accidental release of Hazardous Materials heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.11.5) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce significant direct impacts related to historic use of pesticides to a less than significant level. Public Utilities Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to public utilities if it would: 1. Exceed city threshold standards which seek to ensure that adequate supplies of quality water, appropriate for intended uses, are available. The standards require the applicant must request and deliver to the city service availability letters from the appropriate water district for each project; the applicant is required to submit a Water Conservation Plan along with the SPA Plan application; and the project plans shall ensure an adequate supply of water on a long-term basis prior to the development of each Otay Ranch SPA. 73 2. Require or result in the construction of new recycled water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. Impact: Compliance with City-wide Water Supply Thresholds Until future developers provide service availability letters and get approved Subarea Master Plan (SAMPs) from OWD, the project would not be in compliance with the city threshold standards (Final EIR Section 5.15.1.3). Explanation The WSAV prepared by the OWD describes current and long-range storage capacity and ensures that the OWD would be able to absorb the forecasted growth for Village 9. The WSAV also provided documentation of entitlements and contracts, and a financial analysis of OWD's maintenance and future water supplies. The WSAV report concludes that adequate long-term water supply will be available to the project. The Overview of Water Service prepared by Dexter Wilson Engineering also provides information that existing and OWD off-site conveyance and storage facilities would be adequate to serve Village 9 (see Appendix K2 in the Final EIR). However, future individual developers within Village 9 would be required to obtain service availability letters and submit SAMPs for OWD approval in order to ensure that the project is consistent with the city GMO thresholds. Therefore, this impact is potentially significant (Final EIR Section 5.15.1.3). Mitigation Measures 5.15.1-2 Service Availability Letters. Prior to approval of each final map for Village 9, the applicant shall request and obtain a service availability letter from the Otay Water District and submit the letter to the City of Chula Vista. 5.15.1-3 Subarea Master Plan Preparation. Prior to approval of the first final map, the applicant shall provide a Subarea Master Plan to the Otay Water District. Water facilities improvements shall be financed or installed on the site and off the site in accordance with the fees and phasing in the approved Public Facilities Finance Plan and Subarea Master Plan. The Subarea Master Plan shall include, but shall not be limited to: i. Existing pipeline locations, size, and capacity; ii. The proposed points of connection and system; iii. The estimated water demands and/or sewer flow calculations; iv. Governing fire department's flow requirements (flow rate, duration, hydrant spacing, etc); V. Agency Master Plan; vi. Agency's planning criteria (see Sections 4.1 through 4.3 of the Water Agencies Standards); vii. Water quality maintenance; and viii. Size of the system and number of lots to be served. 74 5.15.1-4 Subarea Master Plan Approval. Prior to approval of the first final map, the applicant shall obtain Otay Water District's approval of the Subarea Master Plan for potable water. Any on-site and off-site facilities identified in the Subarea Master Plan required to serve a final mapped area shall be secured or constructed by the applicant prior to the approval of the final map and in accordance with the phasing in the Public Facilities Finance Plan. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.15.1-2 through 5.15.1-4 (listed above) is feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to compliance with city-wide water supply thresholds to a less than significant level. Impact: New Recycled Water Facilities If recycled water facilities are not provided concurrently with demand, a potentially significant impact would occur (Final EIR Section 5.15.4.3). Explanation Recycled water would be provided to the project by extending the 927 Zone recycled water system from the 8-inch line in Eastlake Parkway. The northern portions of the project would be served from the 927 Zone and the southern portion of the project would be served from the 680 Zone. The primary source of supply for the 680 Zone would be an on-site 927/680 Zone pressure reducing station, but the 680 Zone would ultimately be looped through other future developments to the west. Therefore, construction of the recycled water infrastructure required by buildout of the project would not result in significant environmental effects. However, if the proposed recycled water facilities are not constructed, the project would result in an additional impact related to water supply because a greater amount of potable water would be needed. If recycled water facilities are not provided concurrently with demand, a potentially significant impact would occur. Mitigation Measures 5.15.4-1 Subarea Master Plan Preparation. Prior to approval of the first final map, the applicant shall provide a Subarea Master Plan to the Otay Water District. Recycled water facilities improvements shall be financed or installed on the site and off the site in accordance with the fees and phasing in the approved Public Facilities Finance Plan and Subarea Master Plan. The Subarea Master Plan shall include, but shall not be limited to the following information related to recycled water: i. Existing recycled water pipeline locations, size, and capacity; ii. The proposed points of connection and system; iii. The estimated recycled water demand calculations; and iv. Size of the system and number of lots to be served. 75 5.15.4-2 Subarea Master Plan Approval. Prior to approval of the first final map, the applicant shall obtain Otay Water District approval of the Subarea Master Plan for recycled water. Any on-site and off-site facilities identified in the Subarea Master Plan required to serve a final mapped area shall be secured or constructed by the applicant prior to the approval of the final map and in accordance with the phasing in the Public Facilities Finance Plan. Finding Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.15.4-1 and 5.15.4-2 (listed above) are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of these mitigation measures will reduce significant direct impacts related to new recycled water facilities to a less than significant level. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE DIRECT IMPACTS CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." The project will implement mitigation measures to reduce significant environmental changes to a less than significant level for all issues except the following, which would result in significant and unavoidable direct and/or indirect impacts: visual character (degradation of rolling hills), air quality (consistency with existing plans, increased criteria pollutants), noise (short-term increase in traffic noise levels), potential effects of climate change (exacerbate air quality problems), agricultural resources (conversion of agricultural resources), and public utilities (water, wastewater, and energy). A brief summary of each environmental topic that would result in a significant and unavoidable direct or indirect impact is provided below. Aesthetics/Landform Alteration The project would result in development on the site; therefore it would permanently alter the character of the project site from open, rolling hills to an urban environment and would be significant and unavoidable. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Air Quality Construction of the project would result in significant and unavoidable emissions of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PM10, and PM2,5. Operation emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 and PM2.5 would be significant and unavoidable. Additionally, the project is inconsistent with the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) by exceeding the significant thresholds for ozone precursors and particulate matter during construction and operation. Impacts related to consistency with applicable air quality plans would also be 76 significant and unavoidable, consistent with the conclusion of the GPA/GDPA SEIR air quality analysis. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Noise Implementation of the project would have the potential to result in exposure to excessive noise levels from traffic noise. Short-term increased in noise levels would remain significant and unavoidable until the proposed roadway system is complete. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Global Climate Change The potential to exacerbate air quality problems as a result of ozone precursor emissions remains significant. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without regulating the habits and purchases of individuals. This impact remains significant and unavoidable. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Agricultural Resources The incremental loss of agricultural lands (farmland of local importance, grazing land), which was considered a significant impact in the 1993 Otay Ranch GDP Program EIR, remains significant. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without restricting the development proposed in the Village 8 West SPA Plan and TM to allow interim agricultural uses to continue in perpetuity. This incremental loss remains significant and unavoidable. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. Public Utilities No mitigation measures are available to guarantee a long-term water supply would be available to serve the project. As such, any increase in water demand would be considered significant. Therefore, impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The project in combination with foreseeable growth may require sewerage treatment that exceeds the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity. As the location and scope of construction for any future expanded or newly developed treatment facilities is unknown, the development of treatment capacity beyond the city's existing and allocated capacity may result in potentially significant and unavoidable impacts associated with construction of new or expanded facilities. No mitigation measures are available to assure that energy resources will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the project. Therefore, impacts would remain significant and unmitigated. Cumulative impacts associated with this issue are discussed in Section X, below. DETAILED ISSUES DISCUSSION FOR SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE DIRECT IMPACTS The project would result in significant and unavoidable direct impacts to aesthetics/landform alteration (visual character or quality), air quality (air quality violations and air quality plans), global climate change (potential effects of global climate change), agricultural resources (direct conversion of agricultural resources), and public utilities (long-term water supply and 77 entitlements, new wastewater treatment facilities, and energy resources). A discussion of the impacts for these issues is provided below. Aesthetics/Landform Alterations Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant aesthetics/la ndform alteration impact if it would: 1. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings Impact: Visual Character or Quality The project would permanently alter the character of the project site from open, rolling topography to urban development (Final EIR Section 5.2.3) Explanation of Impact The SEIR for the GPA/GDPA identified a significant impact to visual character as a result of development of the land uses proposed in the GPA. The SEIR identified mitigation measure 5.2.5-1 from the 2005 GPU EIR to reduce impacts related to visual character. The mitigation measure consists of requirements for building and grading plans to protect visual character to the extent feasible. The proposed SPA Plan for Village 9 would implement the requirements of SEIR mitigation measure 5.2.5-1, including a grading plan in conformance with the city grading ordinance; grading standards that ensure manufactured slopes are contoured, blend, and mimic with adjacent natural slopes; and landscape performance standards and landscape plans that maintain views, are consistent with open space areas, and addresses streetscapes, provides landscape intensity zones, greenbelt edge treatments, and slope treatment for erosion control. The project would implement development standards and community design guidelines to protect visual quality and comply with mitigation measure 5.2.5-1. However, consistent with the conclusion of the 2013 SEIR, because the project would permanently alter the character of the project site from open rolling hills to development, impacts would be significant and unavoidable (Finale EIR Section 5.2.3) Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.2.5-1 identified in the SEIR would reduce impacts related to visual character or quality. As discussed above, this mitigation measure has been incorporated into project design. Finding Mitigation measure 5.2.5-1 (listed in the SEIR for the GPA/GDPA) would reduce impacts to visual character or quality. However, because the project would result in development on the site, it would permanently alter the character of the project site from open rolling hills to an urban environment. No mitigation is available to maintain the undeveloped character of the site. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 78 Implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not substantially lessen this impact compared to the project because a loss of rolling hills would still occur. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make this alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Air Quality Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant air quality impact if it would: 1. Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. 2. Result in a conflict with, or obstruct implementation of, the RAQS or State Implementation Plan. Impact: Air Quality Violation Implementation of the project would have the potential to result significant criteria pollutant emissions during construction and operation (Final EIR Section 5.4.4) Explanation of Impact Construction. Construction of the project would result in significant emissions of nitrogen oxides, PM10, and PM2.5 during grading, and additional significant emissions of nitrogen oxides and VOC would result from simultaneous construction activities. Operation. Operation of the proposed project would result in significant PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from vehicular use, and significant carbon monoxide, VOC, and nitrogen oxide emissions from vehicular and area sources. Mitigation Measures 5.4-1 Short-term Air Quality Violations Reduction Measures. The following techniques to reduce construction emissions shall be implemented during all construction activities: i. Minimize simultaneous operation of multiple construction equipment units (i.e., phase construction to minimize impacts). ii. Use low pollutant-emitting construction equipment. iii. Use electrical construction equipment as practical. iv. Use catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment. v. Use injection timing retard for diesel-powered equipment. 79 vi. Water the construction area twice daily to minimize fugitive dust. vii. Stabilize (for example hydroseed) graded areas as quickly as possible to minimize fugitive dust. viii. Pave permanent roads as quickly as possible to minimize dust. 5.4-2 Dust Control Measures. Mitigation of PMIO impacts requires active dust control during construction. As a matter of standard practice, the City of Chula Vista shall require the following standard construction measures be included on all grading plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and shall be implemented during construction to the extent applicable: i. All unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other acceptable San Diego Air Pollution Control District dust control agents twice daily during dust-generating activities to reduce dust emissions. Additional watering or acceptable Air Pollution Control District dust control agents shall be applied during dry weather or on windy days until dust emissions are not visible. ii. Trucks hauling dirt and debris shall be properly covered to reduce windblown dust and spills. iii. A 20-mile-per-hour speed limit on unpaved surfaces shall be enforced. iv. On dry days, dirt and debris spilled onto paved surfaces shall be swept up immediately to reduce re-suspension of particulate matter caused by vehicle movement. Approach routes to construction sites shall be cleaned daily of construction-related dirt in dry weather. v. On-site stockpiles of excavated material shall be covered or watered. vi. Disturbed areas shall be hydroseeded, landscaped, or developed as quickly as possible and as directed by the city and/or Air Pollution Control District to reduce dust generation. vii. To the maximum extent feasible: a) Heavy-duty construction equipment with modified combustion/fuel injection systems for emissions control shall be utilized during grading and construction activities. b) Catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment shall be used. viii. Equip construction equipment with pre-chamber diesel engines (or equivalent) together with proper maintenance and operation to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, to the extent available and feasible. ix. Electrical construction equipment shall be used to the extent feasible. 80 x. The simultaneous operations of multiple construction equipment units shall be minimized (i.e., phase construction to minimize impacts). 5.4-3 Construction Best Management Practices. During all construction activities for the project, the project applicant shall ensure implementation of the following best management practices to reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides and fugitive dust (PM10 and PM2.5). Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the following best management practices shall be included on all grading plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and shall be implemented during construction to the extent applicable: i. All construction equipment shall be outfitted with best available control technology devices certified by the California Air Resources Board. A copy of each unit's best available control technology documentation shall be provided at the time of mobilization of each applicable unit of equipment. ii. Approach routes to the site shall be cleaned daily of construction-related dirt. iii. Apply chemical stabilizer or pave the last 100 feet of internal travel path within the construction site prior to public road entry. iv. Install wheel washers or rumble plates adjacent to a paved apron prior to any vehicle entry on public roads. v. Remove any visible track-out into traveled public streets within 30 minutes of occurrence. vi. Wet wash the construction access point at the end of each workday if any vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces has occurred. vii. Provide sufficient perimeter erosion control to prevent washout of silty material onto public roads. viii. General contractors shall maintain and operate construction equipment so as to minimize exhaust emissions. During construction, trucks and vehicles in loading and unloading queues should turn their engines off when not in use to reduce vehicle emissions. Construction emissions should be phased and scheduled to avoid emissions peaks and shall be discontinued during second stage smog alerts. ix. During construction, site grading activities within 500 feet of a school in operation shall be discontinued or all exposed surfaces shall be watered to minimize dust transport off site to the maximum degree feasible, when the wind velocity is greater than 15 miles per hour in the direction of the school. Finding Implementation of mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 (listed above) would reduce significant emissions of nitrogen oxides, PMIo, and PM2,5 during grading and significant nitrogen oxides emissions during surface improvements, but not to a less than significant level. 81 Additionally, simultaneous construction activities would still have the potential to result in exceedances of the significance thresholds for nitrogen oxides, VOCs, PM1o, and PM2.5. Additional available mitigation measures to reduce emissions would require the use of electric powered earth movers or aqueous diesel fuel. Use of electric power earth movers is not feasible because a large enough power source that would be needed to supply energy to such large equipment is not available on the site. A commitment to use aqueous diesel fuel is currently not feasible because this fuel is not widely used or available in San Diego County. However, the project would incorporate electrically powered tools and smaller equipment that would be served by hard wired temporary power sources until more permanent power sources are available. If a reliable source of diesel aqueous fuel becomes available, it would be used during project construction. Use of an alternative fuel type of such as natural gas or propane instead of electricity is not a feasible alternative because these fuels would increase nitrogen oxides and VOC emissions. Therefore, construction emissions would remain significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Regarding operational emissions, all applicable measures of the Otay Ranch GDP Final Program EIR mitigation measures to reduce vehicular emissions have already been incorporated into the SPA Plan, such as provision of bike lanes, providing services near residences, and providing transit support facilities such as bus stops. The project trip generation rates account for the approximately 40 percent reduction in vehicle trips that would occur as a result of the mixed-use areas, transit use, and availability of pedestrian and bicycle facilities proposed as part of the SPA Plan. In addition, future vehicular emissions may be lower than estimated due to increasingly stringent California fuel efficiency requirements. Some measures cannot be implemented at the SPA level, such as providing video-conference facilities in work places or requiring flexible work schedules. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions. Additionally, there are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Operation emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 would be significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Therefore, while mitigation measure 5.4-1 through 5.4-3 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant, it would not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not reduce construction or operational emissions to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to air quality to below a level of significance, impacts to air quality would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 82 Impact: Air Quality Plans Implementation of the project would conflict with applicable air quality plans (Final EIR Section 5.4.4) Explanation of Impact The project would have the potential to result in air pollutant emissions from increased traffic on area roadways and increased number of area sources that may lead to air quality violations. As discussed under the previous impact, operational and construction emissions of ozone precursors (nitrogen oxides and VOCs) and particulate matter would be significant and unavoidable, even with implementation of BMPs and other mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3. Additionally, although the project would be consistent with all applicable transportation and area source control measures proposed in the RAQS to reduce emissions in the region, implementation of the project would exceed the growth projections in the RAQS (4,000 residential units) (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 would minimize impacts related to conflicts with air quality plans (listed above under the Air Quality, Impact: Air Quality Violations heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.4.5). Finding As discussed under the previous issue, all applicable measures of the Otay Ranch GDP Final Program EIR mitigation measures to reduce vehicular emissions have already been incorporated into the SPA Plan. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions. Additionally, there are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Operation emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 would be significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4- 2, and 5.4-3 would minimize construction emissions, but not to below the significance thresholds. Infrastructure and fuel needed to further reduce construction emissions are not readily available. Therefore, while mitigation measures 5.4-1 through 5.4-3 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant, these measures would not substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not reduce pollutant emissions to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to air quality to below a level of significance, impacts to air quality 83 would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Noise Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant noise impact if it would: 1. Result in a substantial permanent increase in noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project Impact: Permanent Increase in Noise Levels Implementation of the proposed project would result in a significant increase in noise levels on seven roadway segments under the Existing + Project Scenario. Explanation of Impact Seven roadway segments would result in a significant noise impact under the Existing + Project Scenario: Birch Road, La Media Road to SR-125; Birch Road, SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway; Main Street, Street A to Eastlake Parkway; Hunte Parkway, Eastlake Parkway to Olympic Parkway; La Media Road, Olympic Parkway to Birch Road; Eastlake Parkway, Olympic Parkway to Birch Road; and Eastlake Parkway, Birch Road to Main Street (Final EIR Section 5.5.4). Mitigation Measures Traffic-related noise could be reduced either by constructing noise barriers, lowering traffic speeds, or by reducing traffic. However, the project is planned to be constructed in a series of phases over a period of up to 20 years, and over time would include the construction of new roadways that would provide new connections from the project area to the regional transportation system. Finding Completion of the off-site circulation system improvements, such as the extension of Otay Valley Road to SR-125, would reduce project-related traffic noise increases by redistributing project-related traffic so that it would be not concentrated on the impacted roadways. Implementation of the Village 9 circulation system would reduce project-generated traffic volumes on off-site roadways by providing new transportation routes and would reduce the project's short-term increases in noise levels during interim years on Birch Road, Hunte Parkway, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway to a less than significant level. Impacts would be significant and unavoidable until the proposed circulation system is complete. With implementation of the proposed circulation system, future and long-term traffic noise impact would be less than significant. However, short-term increases in traffic noise would be significant and unavoidable until the proposed roadway circulation system is complete. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, these alternatives would not reduce short-term construction noise increases to below a level of 84 significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to short-term traffic noise to below a level of significance, impacts to short-term traffic noise levels would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Global Climate Change Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant global climate change impact if it would: 1. Result in substantially increased exposure of the project from the potential adverse effects of global warming identified in the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32). Impact: Potential Effects of Global Climate Change The project would have significant impacts related to regional and local air quality resulting from vehicular emissions of ozone precursors (Final EIR Section 5.10.3) Explanation of Impact Throughout the state and the region, global climate and local microclimate changes could cause an increase in the frequency and duration of exposure to air pollutants. The San Diego Air Basin is currently in non-attainment for ozone, as discussed in Section 5.4 of the EIR, Air Quality. As described above under the Air Quality heading, operation of the project would have the potential to exceed the significance thresholds for ozone precursors (nitrogen oxides or VOCs), particularly as a result of vehicular emissions. Therefore, implementation of the project would have the potential to result in additional ozone in the basin that would contribute to increased exposure to ozone-related ailments (Final EIR Section 5.10.3). Mitigation Measures There are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers (Final EIR Section 5.10.3). Finding As described above under the Air Quality heading, the applicable mitigation measures of the 1993 Program EIR for the GDP (EIR 90-01), 2005 GPU EIR, and 2013 SEIR for the GPA/GDPA (EIR 09-01) have already been incorporated into the project to reduce vehicle trips and are accounted for in the projected average daily trip for the project. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions other than reducing vehicle trips. There are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Therefore, 85 it cannot be guaranteed that emissions of ozone precursors would be reduced to a less than significant level. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not reduce emissions of ozone precursors to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to climate change to below a level of significance, impacts to climate change would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Agricultural Resources Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant agricultural impact if it would: 1. Convert prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance, as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the FMMP of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use. Impact: Direct Conversion of Agricultural Resources Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM would result in a significant impact to agricultural resources, due to the on-site loss of approximately 190 acres of farmland of local importance and grazing land. (Final EIR Section 5.12.3) Explanation of Impact The project would convert approximately 190 acres of farmland of local importance and grazing land to urban uses resulting in a countywide incremental loss of agricultural land. Once fully developed, the project would eliminate the potential for agricultural activity to occur on site; however, portions of Village 9 may continue to be used for grazing or dry farming while adjacent uses are developed. Agricultural use of Village 9 is currently constrained by the lack of a reliable and affordable source of water. Additionally, the General Plan states that agricultural production in Chula Vista is not significant in terms of countywide agricultural value and is not a major factor in the local economy. Long-term agricultural uses are not planned for the city. Nevertheless, the project will contribute to an incremental loss of grazing land and is considered a significant impact (Final EIR Section 5.12.3). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measure 5.12-1 would minimize impacts related to conversion of agricultural resources (listed above under the Agricultural Resources, Impact: Land Use Zoning Conflicts heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.12.5). 86 Finding With implementation of mitigation measure 5.12-1 (listed above under the Agricultural Resources, Impact: Land Use Zoning Conflicts heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.12.5), agricultural impacts related to short-term land use incompatibilities would be reduced to below a level of significance. However, the incremental loss of agricultural lands (farmland of local importance, grazing land) is significant. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without restricting the development proposed in the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM to allow interim agricultural uses to continue in perpetuity. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be to below a level of significance because loss of agricultural land would occur. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to agricultural resources to below a level of significance, impacts to agricultural resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Public Utilities Thresholds of Significance The proposed project would result in a significant impact to public utilities if it would: 1. Have insufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or require new or expanded entitlements. 2. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider, which serves or may serve the project, that it has inadequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the providers existing commitments. 3. Require the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of would cause significant environmental effects. 4. Increase the demand of energy resources to exceed the available supply or cause a need for new and expanded facilities. Impact: Long-Term Water Supply and Entitlements Long-term water supply availability cannot be guaranteed; therefore, the increase in water demand that would result from implementation of the project would be potentially significant. Additionally, the transfer of density between planning areas could have a significant impact on on-site infrastructure (Final EIR Section 5.15.1.3). 87 Explanation Although the WSAV for the Village 9 SPA Plan and the water supply and reliability studies from OWD identify adequate water supplies for Village 9, the WSAV cannot ensure that water resources will be available when needed. Conditions such as unanticipated drought conditions or delays in providing planned infrastructure would potentially interfere with projected water supply. As stated in the 2005 GPU EIR and 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR, because a long-term water supply is not assured, increases in water demand would result in a significant impact. Therefore, because there is no assurance of a long-term supply of water in the future, the increase in water consumption associated with Village 9 would be significant. Additionally, although density transfers would not affect the total water demand for the project, a potentially significant impact would occur if the proposed water infrastructure system would not support the proposed density transfer (Final EIR Section 5.15.1.3). Mitigation Measures 5.15.1-1 Density Transfer Technical Report. Prior to design review approval in accordance with the Intensity Transfer provision in the Village 9 SPA, the applicant shall provide an update to the Overview of Water Service for Otay Ranch Village 9 (Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. 2010) with each proposed project requesting an intensity transfer. The technical study shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that adequate on-site water infrastructure will be available to support the transfer. The transfer of residential density shall be limited by the ability of the on-site water supply infrastructure to accommodate flows. Finding Mitigation measure 5.15.1-1 reduces impacts related to density transfers to a less than significant level by ensuring that infrastructure is available to serve the modified land use plan. The WSAV verifies that the OWD has adequate water supply for the project. Additionally, the project would comply with the Chula Vista Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance, implement a WCP, and utilize recycled water to reduce water demand. However, no mitigation measures are available to guarantee a long-term water supply would be available to serve the project. As such, any increase in water demand would be considered significant. Therefore, impacts would be significant and unavoidable. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to water supply to below a level of significance, impacts to water supply would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 88 Impact: Adequate Wastewater Facilities If adequate wastewater conveyance facilities are not provided concurrently with new demand a significant impact would occur. Additionally, the transfer of density between planning areas could have a significant impact on on-site infrastructure. Explanation Development of Village 9 would require 0.91 million gallons per day of treatment capacity. Building permits will be issued only if the City Engineer has determined that adequate sewer capacity exists. The Salt Creek Interceptor Technical Sewer Study also concluded that certain sections of the Salt Creek Interceptor may require upgrades at ultimate buildout. However, these sections are upstream of the project site and the study determined that the projected development of Village 9 would not exceed the capacity of the Salt Creek Interceptor or trigger the need for any upgrades. The actual total equivalent dwelling units proposed for the project in the SPA Plan and TM (3,423 equivalent dwelling units) is less than what was estimated in the Salt Creek Interceptor Technical Study (3,536.5 equivalent dwelling units). Therefore, the development proposed in the project would not exceed the capacity of the Salt Creek I nterceptor. The approximately 907,105 gallons per day generated by the project is within the city's remaining capacity of 4.645 million gallons per day. However, the project would be phased over a period of up to 20 years. The city's sewer system would potentially reach capacity during this time. If adequate sewer facilities are not provided concurrently with demand, a significant impact would occur. Mitigation Measures 5.15.2-1 Sewer System Improvements. The applicant shall finance or install all on-site and off-site sewer facilities required to serve development in Village 9 in accordance with the fees and phasing in the approved Public Facilities Finance Plan to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 5.15.2-2 Salt Creek Development Impact Fee. Prior to issuance of each building permit, the applicant shall pay the Salt Creek Development Impact Fee at the rate in effect at the time of building permit issuance and corresponding to the sewer basin that the building will permanently sewer to, unless stated otherwise in a development agreement that has been approved by the City Council. 5.15.1-3 Density Transfer Technical Report. Prior to design review approval in accordance with the Intensity Transfer provision in the Village 9 SPA Plan, the applicant shall provide an update to the Overview of Sewer Service for Otay Ranch Village 9 (Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. 2010) with each proposed project requesting an intensity transfer. The technical study shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that adequate on-site wastewater infrastructure will be available to support the transfer. The transfer of residential density shall be limited by the ability of the on-site sewerage facilities to accommodate flows. 89 Finding With implementation of mitigation measures 5.15.2-1 through 5.15.2-3, no significant impacts with respect to wastewater conveyance facilities would occur and adequate treatment capacity to serve new development within Village 9 would be ensured through review of available capacity by the City Engineer prior to approval of building permits. However, the project in combination with foreseeable growth may require sewage treatment that exceeds the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity. Therefore, additional capacity may need to be acquired from the San Diego Metropolitan Sewer Authority or other sources to support treatment needs through the Year 2030. The means by which additional treatment capacity would be acquired is unknown and could include the acquisition of available sewerage treatment capacity from another participating agency, including the City of San Diego, or the construction of new treatment facilities. As the location and scope of construction for any future expanded or newly developed treatment facilities is unknown, the development of treatment capacity beyond the city's existing and allocated capacity may result in potentially significant and unavoidable impacts associated with construction of new or expanded facilities. It is conservatively concluded that impacts related to development would be potentially significant and unavoidable. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 and Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be to below a level of significance because any increase in sewerage treatment capacity would be significant. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to energy resources to below a level of significance, impacts to energy resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: New Wastewater Treatment Facilities The proposed project would require sewerage treatment beyond the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity rights and allocated additional treatment capacity. Therefore, impacts associated with new wastewater treatment facilities are considered significant (Final EIR Section 5.15.2.3). Explanation The proposed project could require sewage treatment capacity beyond the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity rights and allocated additional treatment capacity. Implementation of respective General Plan policies would ensure that treatment capacity would be provided by the City; however, the means by which additional treatment capacity would be acquired is unknown. The City's options include the acquisition of treatment capacity from a San Diego Metropolitan Sewer Authority member agency, including the City of San Diego, or construction of a Chula Vista treatment facility. Final determination on the means by which additional treatment capacity would be acquired has not yet been made. As the location and 90 scope of construction for any newly developed treatment facilities are unknown, and the development of treatment capacity beyond the City's existing and allocated capacity may result in impacts on the environment. It is conservatively concluded that a potentially significant environmental impact associated with construction of new or expanded treatment facilities may occur (Final EIR Section 5.15.2.3) Mitigation Measures The means by which additional capacity is obtained from the San Diego Metropolitan Sewer Authority or other sources to support treatment city-wide is unknown at this time; therefore, necessary mitigation measures cannot be determined. Finding As the location and scope of construction of future expanded or newly developed treatment facilities is unknown, the significant impacts that may result from the development of treatment capacity beyond the City's existing and allocated capacity are also unknown. Therefore, mitigation measures cannot be determined at this time. It is conservatively concluded that impacts related to development would be potentially significant and unavoidable. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 and Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be to below a level of significance because any increase in water demand would be significant. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to energy resources to below a level of significance, impacts to energy resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: Energy Resources Although development pursuant to the project would be required to comply with state and city building and energy codes and regulations related to reduction in energy use, there is no long- term assurance that energy supplies will be available as needed to support subsequent development projects. Therefore, impacts associated with energy consumption would be significant (Final EIR Section 5.15.5.3). Explanation Implementation of the Village 9 SPA Plan would result in a increase in electricity demand. Although City programs and policies would result in more efficient use of energy, they do not ensure that increased resources will be available when needed. SDG&E has indicated that without an increased import capacity, including a new substation within the Otay Ranch area, future energy needs could not be assured. The new substation would be located in the EUC, south of the east end of Hunte Parkway. The 120 megavolt amperes substation would provide infrastructure necessary to provide power to buildout of Otay Ranch, but would not generate 91 electricity or guarantee that adequate supply would be available. Therefore, because there is no assurance of a long-term supply of energy in the future, any increase in energy consumption on the project site would be significant (Final EIR Section 5.15.5.3). Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are available that would guarantee future energy supplies. Finding The 2013 GPA/GDPA SEIR included mitigation measure 5.3.5-1, as identified in the 2005 GPU EIR, to be incorporated into future SPA plans to reduce impacts related to energy use. This plan required continued focus on the Energy Strategy and Action Plan and continued implementation of the Adaptation Strategies to lessen the impacts from energy. The project is consistent with this mitigation measure because it includes a non-renewable energy conservation plan to reduce energy use. Implementation of this plan would reduce average energy consumption, including the development of land use patterns and project features which reduce the reliance for project residents to utilize the automobile, encourage the use of regional mass transit facilities, and reduce fossil fuel consumption through better siting and design. Application of the city Energy Code, requiring a 15 percent less energy use than the state 2008 Energy Code, would add to the overall decrease in energy use throughout the project area. Therefore, average energy consumed by future occupants of Village 9 would not be excessive, and would in fact be less than the regional average and less than statewide business-as-usual projections made by the CARB as part of its GHG emissions forecasting. However, these project features would not guarantee that future energy supplies will be available as needed to support future development project. Any increase in energy use on the project site is considered significant. Therefore, no mitigation measures are available that would guarantee future energy supplies. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 and Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be to below a level of significance because any increase in energy demand would be significant. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to energy resources to below a level of significance, impacts to energy resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 92 X. CUMULATIVE SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS & MITIGATION MEASURES SUMMARY OF EFFECTS Cumulative impacts are those which "are considered when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effect of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects" (Pub. Resources Code Section 21082.2 Subd. (b)). These "current or probable future" development proposals can affect many of the same natural resources and public infrastructure as development of the project. Potentially significant cumulative impacts are associated with development of the project in conjunction with those projects specifically within the project area. A detailed discussion of cumulative impacts is included in Section 6.0 of the Final EIR. In formulating mitigation measures for the project, regional issues and cumulative impacts have been taken into consideration. The project, along with other related projects, will result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to significant environmental changes related to aesthetics/la ndform alteration, transportation/traffic, air quality, noise, biological resources, cultural and paleontological resources, global climate change, agricultural resources, and public utilities (Final EIR, Table 1-4). CUMULATIVE IMPACTS THAT CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE The City, having reviewed and considered the information contained in the EIR, the appendices to the EIR, and the administrative record, finds the project would mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen to below a level of significance the following cumulatively considerable environmental effects identified in the EIR in the following categories: transportation/traffic; noise; biological resources; and paleontological resources. A brief summary of each environmental topic that would be mitigated to below a level of significance is provided below. Transportation/Traffic Absent mitigation, the project would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant impact at eight intersections and seven roadway segments in year 2030. Noise The proposed project's contribution to long-term traffic noise would be less than significant. However, absent mitigation, commercial equipment, including HVAC systems, would contribute to noise levels that exceed City standards, which may affect neighboring projects. Biological Resources Absent mitigation, implementation of Village 8 West would contribute to the loss of biological resources within the Otay Ranch and Chula Vista Subarea. 93 Paleontological Resources Because the extent of potential paleontological resources is unknown at this time, cumulative impacts are concluded to be significant. Geological formations underlying the project area and off-site improvement area have been identified as having high sensitivity for paleontological resources. Ground-disturbing activities would have the potential to encounter paleontological resources. DETAILED ISSUES DISCUSSION FOR CUMULATIVE IMPACTS THAT CAN BE MITIGATED TO BELOW A LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE Transportation/Traffic Cumulative Impact: Traffic and Level of Service Standards and Congestion Management The proposed project and cumulative growth would result in an increase in regional traffic that would cause regional intersections and roadway segments to operate at a deficient level of service. Explanation The Otay Ranch Village 9 Traffic Impact Analysis Report (RBF 2013), Appendix B to the EIR, included an analysis of the proposed project's contribution to cumulative regional traffic. The analysis included a Mitigated Year 2030 scenario that analyzed the potential traffic impacts that would occur as a result of buildout of Village 9 and the cumulative growth in the region through the year 2030. Based on the Intersection Lane Volume Analysis, a cumulative impact would occur to the I-805 northbound ramps at Main Street. At full buildout, the project would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant impact at the following intersections: • Birch Road/SR-125 northbound ramps (LOS F —AM Peak Hour) • Birch Road/Eastlake Parkway (LOS F —AM Peak Hour, LOS E — PM Peak Hour) • Birch Road/La Media Road (LOS F —AM and PM Peak Hour) • Main Street/I-805 northbound ramps (LOS E — PM Peak Hour) • Main Street/I-805 southbound ramps (LOS E — PM Peak Hour) • Main Street/La Media Couplet (LOS F —AM and PM Peak Hour) • Main Street/Magdalena Avenue (LOS F —AM and PM Peak Hour) • Main Street/Eastlake Parkway (LOS F —AM Peak Hour) Additionally, the project would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant impact to the following roadway segments in year 2030: • Birch Road: La Media Road to SR-125 (LOS F) • Birch Road: SR-125 to Eastlake Parkway (LOS F) • Main Street: I-805 to Brandywine Avenue (LOS D) • Main Street: Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road (LOS D) • Heritage Road: Main Street to Entertainment Circle (LOS E) 94 • Heritage Road: Entertainment Circle to Avenida de Las Vistas (LOS D) • Eastlake Parkway: Birch Road to Main Street (LOS D) Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.3-1 through 5.3-21 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.3.5) would mitigate impacts related to level of service standards and construction management. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.3-1 through 5.3-21 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to traffic level of service standards and congestion management to a less than significant level. Noise Cumulative Impact: Excessive Noise Levels Commercial equipment, including HVAC systems, would contribute to noise levels that exceed City standards, which may affect neighboring projects. Explanation Village 9 would be adjacent to future development proposed in the GDP to the east by the University/RTP, to the west by Village 4, and to the north by EUC. According to the GDP, these villages would be developed with similar land uses compared to Village 9, including commercial, residential, and parkland development. Commercial equipment, including HVAC systems, would contribute to noise levels that exceed City standards, which may affect neighboring projects. Therefore, a potentially significant cumulative impact could occur. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.5-2 through 5.5-8 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.5.5) would ensure that operational noise levels comply with city standards. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.5-2 through 5.5-8 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to excessive noise levels to a less than significant level. 95 Biological Resources Cumulative Impact: Sensitive Plant and Wildlife Species, Riparian Habitat and Other Sensitive Natural Communities, Federally Protected Wetlands, and Wildlife Movement Corridors and Nursery Sites Implementation of Village 9 would contribute to the loss of biological resources within the Otay Ranch and Chula Vista MSCP Subarea. Explanation The Otay Ranch PEIR identified significant unavoidable impacts to biological resources in Otay Ranch due to loss of raptor foraging habitat. Subsequent to the certification of the PEIR and adoption of the Otay Ranch GDP, the City adopted the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. The MSCP planning program provided for mitigation of cumulative impacts from regional development on sensitive species and their habitats on a regional basis, including raptor forage habitat. As such, a cumulatively considerable impact would occur if a project would be inconsistent with the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan. Implementation of the proposed project would result in impacts to sensitive plant and wildlife species, riparian habitat and other sensitive natural communities, and federally protected wetlands, which would be considered cumulatively considerable if impacts are not mitigated consistent with MSCP requirements. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.6.5) would ensure compliance with the MSCP Subarea Plan. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.6-1 through 5.6-19 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to biological resources to a less than significant level. Cultural and Paleontological Resources Cumulative Impact: Paleontological Resources Cumulative buildout would result in an increased probability of disturbance to paleontological resources causing potentially significant cumulative impacts. Explanation Cumulative buildout would result in an increased probability of disturbance to paleontological resources causing potentially significant cumulative impacts. However, this could be a positive effect of development due to fact that the discoveries of paleontological resources contribute to important scientific information about the natural history in southwestern San Diego County. As discussed in Section 5.7, Cultural Resources, geological formations underlying the project area and off-site improvement area have been identified as having high sensitivity for paleontological 96 resources. Therefore, the project could result in significant impacts to sensitive paleontological deposits if unknown paleontological resources are uncovered and not properly recovered. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.7-4 through 5.7-7 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.7.5) would reduce project-related impacts to paleontological resources. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.7-4 through 5.7-7 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to paleontological resources to a less than significant level. Public Services Cumulative Impact: Fire and Emergency Medical Services Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM for Village 9 in combination with cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for fire and emergency medical services. If growth would outpace the CVFD's ability to expand and serve new development, a cumulative impact would occur. Explanation Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM for Village 9 in combination with cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for fire and emergency medical services. If growth would outpace the CVFD's ability to expand and serve new development, a cumulative impact would occur. However, Section 19.09 (Growth Management) provides policies and programs that tie the pace of development to the provision of public facilities and improvements. Section 19.09.04013 specifically requires that "properly equipped and staffed fire and medical shall respond to calls throughout the city within seven minutes in 80 percent of the cases." Section 19.09 also requires a PFFP and the demonstration that public services such as fire services meet the GMOC quality of life threshold standards. A project that is consistent with the city GMO quality of life threshold standards would not result in a cumulative impact. The Village 9 SPA Plan and TM has been prepared in coordination with the CVFD. According to the CVFD, all areas of Village 9 are within a CVFD five minute response time area. However, mitigation is required to ensure that the project would meet the GMOC standards for fire protection, including paying its fair share of funding for public services with each building permit. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.1-1 through 5.9.1-4 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.9.1.5) would reduce project-related impacts to fire and emergency medical services. 97 Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.1- 1 through 5.9.1-4 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to fire and emergency medical services to a less than significant level. Cumulative Impact: Police Services Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM in combination with cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for police services. If growth outpaces the Chula Vista Police Department's ability to expand and serve new development a cumulative impact would occur. Explanation Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM in combination with cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for police services. If growth outpaces the Chula Vista Police Department's ability to expand and serve new development a cumulative impact would occur. However, Section 19.09 (Growth Management) provides policies and programs that tie the pace of development to the provision of public facilities and improvements. Section 19.09.040A specifically requires that properly equipped and staffed police units shall respond to 81 percent of priority one emergency calls within seven minutes and maintain an average response time to all priority one emergency calls of 5.5 minutes or less. Section 19.09 also requires a PFFP and the demonstration that public services, such as police services, meet the GMOC quality of life threshold standards. A project that is consistent with the city GMO quality of life threshold standards would not result in a cumulative impact. Maintaining current response times would require additional police officers. Village 9 is designed to incorporate crime prevention through environmental design features, which would reduce demand on police services. However, mitigation is required to ensure the project would meet the GMOC standards for police protection, including paying its fair share of funding for public services with each building permit. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.2-1 through 5.9.2-3 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.9.2.5) would reduce project-related impacts to fire and emergency medical services. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.2- 1 through 5.9.2-3 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to police services to a less than significant level. 98 Cumulative Impact: Libraries Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM and cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for library services. A shortfall of approximately 28,080 square feet currently exists. Explanation Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM and cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for library services. Based on the GMO threshold standard of 500 square feet of library space per 1,000 residents, the total library space needed to serve the existing population of the city would be approximately 123,500 square feet. As approximately 95,400 square feet of library space is currently provided, a shortfall of approximately 28,080 square feet currently exists. Therefore, a cumulative impact currently exists. Mitigation is required to ensure that payment of the PFDIF to provide the SPA Plan's fair share contribution to meet the city's threshold standard for library space. Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.9.4-1 and 5.9.4-2 (listed above in Section IX and in Final EIR Section 5.9.4.5) would reduce project-related impacts to fire and emergency medical services. Findings Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, changes or alterations are required in, or incorporated into, the project that will substantially lessen or avoid the significant cumulative effect as identified in the EIR to a level of insignificance. Specifically, mitigation measures 5.9.4- 1 and 5.9.4-2 are feasible and shall be required as a condition of approval and made binding on the applicant. Implementation of this mitigation measure will reduce the project's contribution to a significant cumulative impact related to libraries to a less than significant level. SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." The project will implement mitigation measures to reduce significant environmental changes to a less than cumulatively considerable level for all issues except the following, which would result in significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts: aesthetics/la ndform alteration (degradation of rolling hills), transportation/traffic (Olympic Parkway/I-805 Northbound ramps intersection); air quality (consistency with existing plans, increased criteria pollutants), cultural resources (cumulative disturbance of archaeological resources and human remains), potential effects of climate change (exacerbate air quality problems), agricultural resources (conversion of agricultural resources), and public utilities (water, wastewater, energy, and cumulative recycled water demand). A brief summary of each environmental topic that would result in a significant and unavoidable impact is provided below. 99 Aesthetics/Landform Alteration The project, in combination with the cumulative projects, would contribute to a cumulative loss of views of natural open space and loss of open, rolling topography. This impact would be cumulatively considerable and unavoidable. Transportation/Traffic The proposed project would result in a cumulative impact to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 Northbound ramps intersection. Air Quality The Village 9 project alone would result in potentially significant nitrogen oxides, PM10, and PM2,5 emissions during construction. If any cumulative project is constructed during the same time period, emissions of criteria pollutants would combine to further exacerbate the violations. Following construction, the project would result in unavoidably significant emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 during operation. The SPA Plan would exceed regional growth projections and therefore the project would result in a cumulatively considerable and unavoidable impact to consistency with adopted air quality plans. Cultural Resources The extent of potential cultural resources is unknown at this time and unknown resources are potentially located in Village 9 While any individual project may avoid or mitigate the direct loss of a specific resource, the effect is considerable when considered cumulatively. Global Climate Change The potential to exacerbate air quality problems as a result of ozone precursor emissions remains significant. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without regulating the habits and purchases of individuals. This impact remains cumulatively considerable and unavoidable. Agricultural Resources The incremental loss of farmland as a result of the project in combination with other projects in Otay Ranch would result in a cumulatively significant impact with respect to agricultural resources. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without restricting the development proposed in the Village 9 SPA Plan and cumulative projects. This incremental loss remains significant and unavoidable. Public Utilities No mitigation measures are available to guarantee a long-term water supply would be available to serve the project or cumulative development. As such, any increase in water demand would be considered significant. Therefore, impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The project in combination with foreseeable growth may require sewerage treatment that exceeds the City's existing wastewater treatment capacity. As the location and scope of construction for any future expanded or newly developed treatment facilities is unknown, the development of treatment capacity beyond the city's existing and allocated capacity may result in potentially significant and unavoidable impacts associated with construction of new or expanded facilities. Existing 100 recycled water facilities do not have capacity to serve the proposed project and cumulative development. A cumulatively considerable and unavoidable impact would occur until recycled water from the South Bay Water Treatment Plant is available to meet the projected future recycled water demand. No mitigation measures are available to assure that energy resources will be available to adequately serve the projected increase in population resulting from the project and cumulative development. DETAILED ISSUES DISCUSSION FOR SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Aesthetics/Landform Alteration Impact: Scenic Vistas, Scenic Resources, and Visual Character or Quality The project would contribute to a loss of views of natural open space and loss of open, rolling topography (Final EIR Section 6.2.2). Explanation of Impact Implementation of Village 9 would not result in any significant direct impacts on scenic vistas and scenic resources because scenic views would continue to be available throughout the site and the project design guidelines. However, the project, in combination with the cumulative projects, would contribute to a cumulative loss of views of natural open space and loss of open, rolling topography (Final EIR Section 6.2.2). Mitigation Measures No mitigation is available to reduce this cumulatively significant impact to a less than significant level. Finding There is no feasible mitigation measure to maintain the undeveloped character of the site to reduce this impact to below significance. Implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not reduce this impact compared to the project. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make this project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to scenic vistas/resources and visual character or quality would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 101 Transportation/Traffic Impact: Traffic/Level of Service Standards and Congestion Management The proposed project would result in a cumulative impact to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 Northbound ramps intersection. Explanation The Olympic Parkway/1-805 Northbound ramps intersection would operate at a LOS F under the Year 2020 scenario. The percentage of segment trips attributable to the project in the Year 2020 would be less than five percent at the Olympic Parkway/1-805 northbound ramps intersection. Therefore, no direct impact to this intersection would occur. However, a cumulative impact would occur. Mitigation Measures Payment of TDIF as required by mitigation measure 5.3-17 would reduce cumulative impacts to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 northbound ramps intersection but not to below cumulatively considerable (listed above in Section IX and in the Final EIR Section 5.3.6). Finding The 1-805 northbound ramps at Olympic Parkway are within the Caltrans right-of-way and are not within the City's TDIF program. However, there are a number of improvements in the surrounding areas that are within the TDIF program, such as the construction of Heritage Road from Main Street to Olympic Parkway, extension of Main Street, and the Palomar Street DAR, as well as planned improvements by Caltrans for the 1-805 corridor, that would reduce the traffic volumes through the Olympic Parkway/1-805 interchange. While the payment of TDIF as required by mitigation measure 5.3-17 would reduce cumulative impacts to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 northbound ramps intersection, no TDIF improvement has been identified for the interchange; therefore, it cannot be determined that impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. Improvements to the 1-805 northbound ramps are within the Caltrans ROW and outside of the jurisdiction of the City. Caltrans can and should implement such improvements. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15091(a)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City cannot ensure implementation of improvements to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. Impacts to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 northbound ramps intersection would remain significant and unavoidable. Implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not avoid or reduce this impact compared to the project. It would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 Northbound ramps intersection to below a level of significance, impacts to would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 102 Air Quality Impact: Air Quality Violations The project would result in unavoidably significant nitrogen oxides, PM1o, and PM2.5 emissions during construction and unavoidably significant emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 during operation (Final EIR Section 6.2.4). Explanation The project would contribute to a cumulative impact during construction if air pollutant emissions from simultaneous construction activities would combine to exceed the significance thresholds for criteria air pollutants. The closest cumulative projects to Village 9 with the potential to generate cumulative construction emissions are the EUC to the north and the University/RTP site to the east. Village 8 East is located approximately 400 feet west of the Village 9 site and would potentially be under construction the same time as Village 9 as well as Village 8 West, located within 2,000 feet from Village 9, where both projects would be within cumulative impact screening distance for nitrogen oxides and VOC emissions, but not for PM10 or PM2.5. The Village 9 project alone would result in potentially significant nitrogen oxides, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions during construction. If any cumulative project is constructed during the same time period, emissions of criteria pollutants would combine to further exacerbate the violations. Cumulative daily operational air quality emissions are regulated on a regional level by the RAQS. If a project is not consistent with the growth assumptions included in the RAQS, then the project would result in a significant cumulatively considerable contribution to an air quality impact. Village 9 would exceed the growth projections of the RAQS. Additionally, the project would result in unavoidably significant emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 during operation (Final EIR Section 6.2.4). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 would also minimize impacts related to conflicts with air quality violations but not to a level below cumulatively significant (listed above in Section IX and in the Final EIR Section 5.4.6). Finding As discussed in Section IX, all applicable measures of the Otay GDP Final Program EIR mitigation measures to reduce vehicular emissions have already been incorporated into the SPA Plan. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions. Additionally, there are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Operation emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 would be significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 would minimize construction emissions, but not to below the significance thresholds. Infrastructure and fuel needed to further reduce construction emissions is not readily available. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make 103 the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce emissions to below a level of significance, impacts to air quality would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: Air Quality Plans The project would result in a significant and unavoidable cumulative air quality impact related to inconsistencies with applicable air quality plans (Final EIR Section 6.2.4). Explanation A project that conflicts with the RAQS growth projections would be inconsistent with the RAQS and State Implementation Plan and result in cumulative impact. The SPA Plan would exceed regional growth projections and, as discussed under the previous issues, would result in significant and unavoidable emissions of pollutants. Therefore the project would result in a cumulatively considerable and unavoidable impact to consistency with adopted air quality plans (Final EIR Section 6.2.4). Mitigation Measures Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 would also minimize impacts related to conflicts with air quality plans but not to a level below cumulatively significant (listed above in Air Quality, Impact: Air Quality Violations heading and in the Final EIR Section 5.4.6). Finding As discussed in Section IX, all applicable measures of the Otay GDP Final Program EIR mitigation measures to reduce vehicular emissions have already been incorporated into the SPA Plan. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions. Additionally, there are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Operation emissions of nitrogen oxides, VOCs, and PM10 would be significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 5.4.7). Mitigation measures 5.4-1, 5.4-2, and 5.4-3 would minimize construction emissions, but not to below the significance thresholds. Infrastructure and fuel needed to further reduce construction emissions is not readily available. Further, the amount of growth accommodated by the project is inconsistent with the RAQS. There is no mitigation available without restricting the development proposed in the SPA Plan and TM. Therefore, impacts related to consistency with applicable air quality plans would also be significant and unavoidable. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 and Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. 104 Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce emissions to below a level of significance, impacts to air quality would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Cultural Resources Impact: Archaeological Resources and Human Remains The project plus cumulative development would incrementally convert more land into developed uses, which would result in a greater potential to impact cultural resources (Final EIR Section 6.2.7). Explanation The continued pressure to develop or redevelop areas would result in incremental impacts to the historical record in the San Diego region. Regardless of the efforts to avoid impacts to cultural resources, the more land that is converted to developed uses, the greater the potential for impacts to cultural resources. While any individual project may avoid or mitigate the direct loss of a specific resource, the effect is considerable when considered cumulatively. The 2005 GPU EIR concluded that the loss of historic or prehistoric resources from the past, present, and probable future projects in the Southern California/Northern Baja California, Mexico areas would contribute to cumulatively significant impacts to cultural resources. The project would not result in a significant impact to known archaeological resources. However, the project could result in significant impacts to unknown archaeological resources or human remains that may be uncovered during project development. While mitigation has been proposed that would reduce project-related impacts to cultural resources to a less than significant level, because the extent of potential cultural resources is unknown at this time, cumulative impacts are concluded to be significant, consistent with the findings in the 2005 GPU EIR (Final EIR Section 6.2.7). Mitigation Measure Mitigation measures 5.7-1, 5.7-2, and 5.7-3 would minimize impacts related to archaeological resources and human remains but not to a level below cumulatively significant (listed above in Cultural and Paleontological Resources, Impact: Archaeological Resources and Impact: Human Remains headings and in the Final EIR Section 5.7.3). Finding No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to below a level of significance without restricting the development proposed for the project and cumulative development to prevent any ground disturbance in areas potentially containing cultural resources. Implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not reduce this cumulative impact compared to the project because implementation would include ground disturbing activities for construction. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. 105 Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to cultural resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Global Climate Change Impact: Potential Effects of Global Climate Change The project would result in cumulatively significant and unavoidable emissions of ozone precursors that would potentially exacerbate air quality problems (Final El Section 6.2.10). Explanation Global climate change would have the potential to increase the frequency and duration of air quality problems in the San Diego region. The project would have a cumulatively considerable impact related to regional and local air quality resulting from vehicular emissions of ozone precursors. Increased temperatures would have the potential to increase the creation of ground- level ozone (smog) in the basin, which could exacerbate to health impacts associated with ozone, such as asthma. There are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to further reduce the potential criteria pollutant emissions of the project. Therefore, emissions of ozone precursors that would potentially exacerbate air quality problems would be cumulatively considerable and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 6.2.10). Mitigation Measures There are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce project emissions of ozone precursors without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Finding The applicable mitigation measures from previous EIRs have already been incorporated into the project to reduce vehicular emissions of ozone precursors. However, some measures cannot be implemented at the SPA level, such as providing video-conference facilities in work places or requiring flexible work schedules. There are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Therefore, emissions of ozone precursors that would potentially exacerbate air quality problems would be significant and unavoidable. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, because less development would occur, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce emissions to below a level of significance, impacts to climate change would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 106 Agricultural Resources Impact: Direct Conversion of Agricultural Resources and Land Use Zoning Conflicts The project would result in the loss of Farmland of Local Importance and Grazing Land, which would have a significant impact with respect to agricultural resources. (Final EIR Section 6.2.12). Explanation The SPA Plan is within the development scope of the General Plan. Prime farmlands or farmlands of statewide importance do not occur within the General Plan area; however, Village 9 is identified as containing Farmland of Local Importance and Grazing Land. The GDP EIR (EIR 90-01) identified the incremental and cumulative loss of agricultural lands in the Otay Ranch as a significant impact. As the project would result in the loss of Farmland of Local Importance and Grazing Land it would have a significant impact with respect to agricultural resources. The incremental loss of farmland as a result of the project in combination with other projects in Otay Ranch would result in a cumulatively significant impact with respect to agricultural resources, consistent with the GDP PEIR (EIR 90-01) (Final EIR Section 6.2.12). Mitigation Measures No mitigation is available to reduce this cumulatively significant impact to a less than significant level. Finding Agricultural uses would continue to be allowed in Village 9 in the interim until buildout of the SPA. However, no mitigation measures are available to reduce long-term impacts to below a level of significance without restricting the development proposed in the SPA Plan and TM to allow interim agricultural uses to continue in perpetuity. Therefore, this impact would remain cumulatively considerable and unavoidable. There is no feasible mitigation measure to reduce this impact to below significance. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to agricultural resources would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. 107 Public Utilities Impact: Water Supply The project plus cumulative development would incrementally increase water use, resulting in an increase in water demand for which the future supply cannot be assured (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Explanation According to the GPA/GDPA SEIR, the cumulative area, including Village 9, would result in an increase in water demand of 1.7 million gallons per day. As discussed in Section 5.15, Public Utilities in the Final EIR, the project-specific water analysis for Village 9 determined that the project would result in an increase in water demand of 1.3 million gallons per day. A WSAV was prepared based on the most recent water supply information available during assessment preparation (Final EIR, Appendix K1). The report determined that sufficient water supplies are planned for and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, under normal conditions and in single-dry and multiple-dry water years to meet the projected demand of the project and the existing and other planned development projects to be served by the OWD. However, long-term water supply cannot be guaranteed; therefore, any increase in water demand would be considered significant. Although the proposed project and the cumulative projects would comply with applicable regulations to reduce water demand, an increase in water demand would occur as a result in development. Cumulative impacts related to water supply would be significant and unavoidable (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are available to guarantee a long-term water supply would be available to serve the project. Finding The proposed project has obtained a WSAV and the cumulative projects would also be required to obtain WSAVs in compliance with SIB 610 and SIB 221. Additionally, the proposed project and the cumulative projects would be required to comply with the Chula Vista Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance, which calls for greater water conservation efforts and more efficient use of water in landscaping. The requirements of this ordinance would be implemented into the design of the proposed project. The proposed project would promote water conservation through the use of low water use plumbing fixtures and the use of recycled water for the irrigation of parks, open space slopes, schools, parkway landscaping, and the common areas of multi-family residential and commercial sites. OWD also requires the implementation of 14 water conservation BMPs. The proposed project and cumulative projects would implement the BMPs for water conservation, including requiring installation of dual flush toilets, development of a water conversation plan, and use of recycled water. However, long-term water supply cannot be guaranteed; therefore, any increase in water demand would be considered significant and no mitigation is available. There is no feasible mitigation measure to reduce this impact to below significance. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, it would not be reduced to below a level of 108 significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to long-term water use would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: Wastewater The project plus cumulative development would incrementally increase wastewater generation, resulting in an exceedance of wastewater treatment capacity (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Explanation According to the GPA/GDPA SEIR, the cumulative area, including Village 9, would result in an increase in sewer demand of 2.3 million gallons per day. The project-specific sewer analysis for Village 9 determined that the proposed project would result in an increase in wastewater of 907,105 gallons per day. As discussed in Section 5.15, Public Utilities in the Final EIR, the City would need to acquire an additional 11.68 million gallons per day of treatment capacity above current capacity rights to serve the buildout of Village 9 and cumulative development in the city. The project's wastewater generation volume combined with other planned projects would require sewage treatment capacity beyond the City's existing capacity rights and allocated additional treatment capacity (Final EIR Section 6.2.12). Mitigation Measures No mitigation is available to reduce this cumulatively significant impact to less than significant levels. Finding The means by which additional treatment capacity would be acquired is unknown and the development of additional capacity may require the expansion of existing or construction of new treatment facilities. Existing policies require major developments to prepare a PFFP that articulates needed facilities and identifies funding mechanisms as well as provides the authority to withhold discretionary approvals and other measures. Implementation of these policies would therefore avoid significant cumulative impacts associated with a shortfall of treatment capacity. Mitigation measures are also provided to ensure that adequate wastewater facilities are provided concurrently with demand. Building permits for any project in the city will be issued only if the City Engineer at that time has determined that adequate wastewater treatment capacity exists to serve the proposed development. However, the location and scope of construction for any future expanded or newly developed treatment facilities is unknown and the development of additional treatment capacity may result in potentially significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts associated with construction of new or expanded treatment facilities even understanding that such projects would likely be subject to environmental review. Because no specific treatment facilities have been proposed, no mitigation measures can be developed. 109 There is no feasible mitigation measure to reduce this impact to below significance. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to wastewater would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: Recycled Water The project plus cumulative development would incrementally increase recycled water use, resulting in a significant cumulative impact to recycled water (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Explanation Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM and cumulative development in the city would result in an increased demand for recycled water. The proposed project would result in a demand for recycled water of approximately 116,380 gallons per day. Based on the cumulative factor of 3.1, the cumulative project area would result in a demand for approximately 360,778 gallons per day of recycled water. Historically, the only source of recycled water for the OWD has been the Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility. This facility currently has a rated capacity of 1.3 million gallons per day with a maximum production of approximately 1.1 million gallons per day. Typically, summer demands exceed the 1.1 million gallons per day plant capacity and, as such, a potentially significant cumulative impact exists. However, as discussed in Section 5.15, Public Utilities in the Final EIR, the South Bay Water Treatment Plant has an ultimate rated capacity of 15 million gallons per day and the OWD obtained capacity rights to 6 million gallons per day of recycled water. This additional source of recycled water will allow OWD to meet existing and future recycled water demands. OWD has master planned and begun constructing a series of pump stations, reservoirs, and transmission lines to integrate this source of water into the existing recycled water system, including service to the project site. However, a cumulatively considerable and unavoidable impact would occur until recycled water from the South Bay Water Treatment Plant is available to meet the projected future recycled water demand (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Mitigation Measure No mitigation is available to reduce this cumulatively significant impact to less than significant levels. Finding Obtaining additional recycled water from the South Bay Water Treatment Plant to meet the projected future recycled water demand is the responsibility of OWD and outside the jurisdiction of the City. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15091(a)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the 110 agency making the finding. Such changes can and should be adopted by such other agency; however, at this time, the impact would remain significant and unmitigable. There is no feasible mitigation measure to reduce this impact to below significance. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to recycled water would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. Impact: Energy The project plus cumulative development would incrementally increase energy use, resulting in an increase in energy demand for which the future supply cannot be assured (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Explanation Implementation of the SPA Plan and TM and cumulative development in the city would result in an increased energy demand of approximately 17.3 million kilowatt per hour and natural gas demand by 66.9 million cubic feet. A significant cumulative impact to energy resources would occur if implementation of the SPA Plan and TM and the cumulative projects result in a demand for energy that exceeds the city's available supply and causes a need for new and expanded facilities. Although City programs and policies would result in more efficient use of energy, they do not ensure that increased resources will be available when needed. SDG&E has indicated that without an increased import capacity, future energy needs could not be assured. Therefore, there is no assurance of a long-term supply of energy in the future and any increase in energy consumption associated with cumulative development would be significant (Final EIR Section 6.2.15). Mitigation Measure No mitigation is available to reduce this cumulatively significant impact to less than significant levels. Finding Implementation of Village 9 would result in an increased consumption of electricity and natural gas. The SPA Plan and TM and other cumulative projects are required to meet the mandatory energy standards of the Chula Vista Energy Code, current CCR Title 24, Part 6 California Energy Code, and Part 11 California Green Building Standards. Additionally, the project includes a non-renewable energy conservation plan addressing preservation of energy resources. Compliance with these policies and the energy conservation plan would ensure that 111 average energy consumed by future occupants of Village 9 would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. However, while individual cumulative projects may be able to reduce their energy consumption through energy conservation measures, there remains no assurance that an adequate energy supply will be available to serve the cumulative increase in energy demand. Any increase in energy demand would be significant; therefore, no mitigation is available. There is no feasible mitigation measure to reduce this impact to below significance. While implementation of the Reduced Project Alternative #1 or Reduced Project Alternative #2 would reduce this impact compared to the project, it would not be reduced to below a level of significance. This impact would be avoided with implementation of the No Project (No Build) Alternative. Pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make the project alternative infeasible. Additional findings related to the project alternatives are discussed in Section XI, below. Because there are no applicable or feasible mitigation measures within the control of the City at this time to reduce impacts to below a level of significance, impacts to energy would remain significant and unmitigated. Adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required should the decision makers choose to approve the project. XI. FEASIBILITY OF POTENTIAL PROJECT ALTERNATIVES Because the project will cause significant environmental effects, as outlined above, the City must consider the feasibility of any environmentally superior alternative to the project as finally approved. The City must evaluate whether one or more of these alternatives could avoid or substantially lessen the significant unavoidable environmental effects of Village 9. In general, in preparing and adopting findings, a lead agency need not necessarily address feasibility when contemplating the approval of a project with significant impacts. Where the significant impacts can be mitigated to an acceptable (less than significant) level solely by the adoption of mitigation measures, the agency, in drafting its findings, has no obligation to consider the feasibility of environmentally superior alternatives, even if their impacts would be less severe than those of the projects as mitigated (Laurel Heights Improvement Association v. Regents of the University of California (1988) 47 Cal.3d 376 [253 Cal.Rptr. 426]; Laurel Hills Homeowners Association v. City Council (1978) 83 Cal.App.3d 515 [147 Cal.Rptr. 842]; Kings County Farm Bureau v. City of Hanford (1990) 221 Cal.App.3d 692 [270 Cal.Rptr. 650]). Accordingly, for this project, in adopting the findings concerning project alternatives, the City Council considers only those environmental impacts that, for the finally approved project, are significant and cannot be avoided or substantially lessened through mitigation. If project alternatives are feasible, the decision makers must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations with regard to the project. If there is a feasible alternative to the project, the decision makers must decide whether it is environmentally superior to the project. Proposed project alternatives considered must be ones that "could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the project." However, the CEQA Guidelines also require an EIR to examine alternatives "capable of eliminating" environmental effects, even if these alternatives "would impede to some degree the attainment of the project objectives" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126). 112 The City has properly considered and reasonably rejected project alternatives as "infeasible" pursuant to CEQA. CEQA provides the following definition of the term "feasible" as it applies to the findings requirement: "feasible means capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors" (Pub. Resources Code Section 21061.1). The CEQA Guidelines provide a broader definition of "feasibility" that also encompasses "legal" factors. CEQA Guidelines Section 15364 states, "the lack of legal powers of an agency to use in imposing an alternative or mitigation measure may be as great a limitation as any economic, environmental, social, or technological factor' (see also Citizens of Goleta Valley v. Board of Supervisors (1990) 52 Cal.3d 553, 565 [276 Cal.Rptr.410]). Accordingly, "feasibility" is a term of art under CEQA and thus may not be afforded a different meaning as may be provided by Webster's dictionary or any other sources. Moreover, Public Resources Code Section 21081 governs the "findings" requirement under CEQA with regard to the feasibility of alternatives. Specifically, no public agency shall approve or carry out a project for which an EIR has been certified which identifies one or more significant effects on the environment that would occur if the project is approved or carried out unless the public agency makes one or more of the following findings: "Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(1)). "Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(2)). "Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provisions of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, Subd. (a)(3)). The concept of"feasibility" also encompasses the question of whether a particular alternative or mitigation measure promotes the underlying goals and objectives of a project (City of Del Mar v. City of San Diego (1982) 133 Cal.App.3d 410, 417 [183 Cal. Rptr. 898]). " `[F]easibility' under CEQA encompasses `desirability' to the extent that desirability is based on a reasonable balancing of the relevant economic, environmental, social, and technological factors" (Ibid.; see also Sequoyah Hills Homeowners Assn. v. City of Oakland (1993) 23 Cal.App.4t" 704, 715 [29 Cal.Rptr.2d 182]). These findings contrast and compare the alternatives where appropriate in order to demonstrate that the selection of the finally approved project, while still resulting in significant environmental impacts, has substantial environmental, planning, fiscal, and other benefits. In rejecting certain alternatives, the decision makers have examined the finally approved project objectives and weighed the ability of the various alternatives to meet objectives. The decision makers believe that the project best meets the finally approved project objectives with the least environmental impact. 113 The detailed discussion in Section IX and Section X demonstrates that all but seven significant environmental effects of the project have been either substantially lessened or avoided through the imposition of existing policies or regulations or by the adoption of additional, formal mitigation measures recommended in the EIR. The remaining unmitigated impacts are the following: • Aesthetics/Landform Alteration (direct impacts to visual character or quality; and cumulative impacts to scenic vistas and resources, visual character or quality) • Transportation/Traffic (cumulative impacts to Olympic Parkway/I-805 Northbound intersection) • Air Quality (direct and cumulative impacts to air quality violations, air quality plans) • Cultural Resources (cumulative impacts to unknown archaeological resources and human remains) • Global Climate Change (direct and cumulative potential effects of global climate change) • Agricultural Resources (direct and cumulative impacts to conversion of agricultural resources) • Public Utilities (direct and cumulative demand for water, wastewater capacity, and energy, and cumulative demand for recycled water) To fully account for these unavoidable significant effects and the extent to which particular alternatives might or might not be environmentally superior with respect to them, these findings will focus on the impacts listed above, but may also address the environmental merits of the alternatives with respect to all broad categories of impacts — even though such a far-ranging discussion is not required by CEQA. The findings will also assess whether each alternative is feasible in light of the City's objectives for the project. The City's review of project alternatives is guided primarily by the need to reduce potential impacts associated with the project, while still achieving the basic objectives of the project. The SPA Plan defines, in more detail, the development parameters for Village 9, including the intensity and location of development, the character and form of each neighborhood, design criteria, primary transportation patterns, open space and recreational amenities, and infrastructure and services necessary to support the community. According to the GDP, Village 9 is to provide single-family and multi-family residential units, a Town Center containing commercial uses, parks, a community purpose facility site, schools, affordable housing and a transit stop. Specific objectives include those previously listed in Section III. The City evaluated three alternatives to the project, which are discussed below: No Project (No Build) Alternative, Reduced Project Alternative #1, and Reduced Project Alternative #2. Table 10-5 in the EIR provides a summary table comparing each of the alternatives. As the following discussion will show, no identified alternative qualifies as both feasible and environmentally superior with respect to the unmitigated impacts. 114 NO PROJECT(NO BUILD) ALTERNATIVE CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6 (e)(3)(B) states that the No Project (No Build) alternative is "a circumstance under which a project does not proceed" and may be considered the environmental effects of the property remaining in its existing state. The No Project (No Build) Alternative assumes that no SPA Plan would be implemented for Village 9 and that the project area would remain unchanged. Accordingly, the site characteristics of this alternative would be equivalent to the existing conditions for each category analyzed in the EIR. Impacts Aesthetics/Landform Alteration The No Project (No Build) Alternative would avoid all aesthetic/Iandform alteration impacts compared to the project. Under this alternative, views of the project and the character of the site would remain unchanged. The project's direct and cumulatively considerable aesthetic impacts related to scenic vistas, scenic resources, and Iandform alteration would be avoided. Similar to the project, this alternative would result in a less than significant impact related to consistency with General Plan and GDP policies related to aesthetics and Iandform alteration. Transportation and Traffic The No Project (No Build) Alternative would result in reduced direct impacts to traffic and level of service standards and congestion management compared to the project because no new vehicular trips would be generated by this alternative. The cumulative impact to the Olympic Parkway/I-805 Northbound ramps intersection would be avoided. Air Quality The No Project (No Build) Alternative would avoid the project's significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impacts related to air quality violations and air quality plans because no construction or operational emissions would result from this alternative. Impacts related to sensitive receptors would also be avoided because no new potential toxic air contaminant sources or sensitive receptors would be developed in Village 9. Similar to the project, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would result in less than significant impacts related to consistency with General Plan and GDP air quality policies. Cultural Resources Potentially significant direct and cumulative impacts related to archaeological resources, human remains, and paleontological resources would be avoided under the No Project (No Build) Alternative because no earth-disturbing construction activities would occur. Similar to the project, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would be consistent with General Plan and GDP policies related to cultural resources, and impacts would be less than significant. Since there are no historical resources located on the Village 9 site, potential impacts to these resources would not change with this alternative (no impact). 115 Global Climate Change The No Project (No Build) Alternative would not result in any impact related to GHG emissions and compliance with AB 32 because no construction or operation emissions of GHGs would occur under this alternative. Additionally, the significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impact related to exacerbation of air quality problems as a result of climate change would be avoided under this alternative because the No Project (No Build) Alternative would not result in any emissions of ozone precursors that would contribute to exacerbation of air quality problems as a result of climate change. Agricultural Resources The direct and cumulative significant and unavoidable impact related to conversion of agricultural resources would not occur under this alternative because no development would be implemented on the site, and no potential agricultural land would be converted to non- agricultural use. Potentially significant impacts related to land use conflicts would be avoided because no development would occur on site. Similar to the project, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would not result in any conflict with agricultural policies. Public Utilities The No Project (No Build) Alternative would not result in any impacts related to water, wastewater treatment, solid waste, recycled water, and energy compared to the project because no development would occur. The No Project (No Build) Alternative would not result in any increased demand for these services. The potentially significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impacts related to long-term guarantee of water supply and energy, capacity of wastewater treatment facilities, and recycled water supply would be avoided under this alternative. Findings This alternative would avoid all of the project's significant and unavoidable impacts associated with aesthetics/landform alteration, transportation/traffic, air quality, cultural resources, global climate change, agricultural resources, and public utilities. However, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would not meet the overall goals and objectives of the City for future growth as outlined in the City's General Plan and the GDP. The regional metropolitan planning organization, SANDAL, has projected a specific growth in population by 2050. If development is eliminated in Village 9, the planned future growth would be accommodated elsewhere, potentially inducing unplanned growth in another area of the city. Additionally, the City has identified the proposed development of the Village 9 site as necessary to support future development of the University and RTP, and support BRT Ridership east of SR-125. In addition, it would include impacts related to traffic and level of service standards, congestion management, emergency access, and consistency with transportation policies because the portion of the planned regional network in Village 9 would not be implemented. This alternative would increase impacts related to parks and recreation standard and consistency with park policies because planned parks to serve future residents would not be developed. All other environmental impacts would be lessened by this alternative. Additionally, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would not attain any of the 14 objectives of the project because no SPA Plan or TM would be adopted and no development would occur. Therefore, the No Project (No Build) Alternative would not accomplish any of the following: 116 1. Create a recognizable place, develop design standards; 2. Encourage an orderly growth pattern; 3. Design neighborhoods with compact and multi-dimensional land use patterns; 4. Create a town center; 5. Establish a pedestrian-oriented village; 6. Encourage community development in mixed use and compact pedestrian oriented forms; 7. Retain and recruit a skilled and motivated workforce to ensure economic stability into the future by providing attainable housing opportunities; 8. Encourage diverse, informal centers of creativity, learning, and interaction that support the University; 9. Foster a compact form facilitated by form-based planning; 10. Promote transitions with and between SPAs; 11. Provide a broad range of housing types and styles; 12. Implement the goals of the General Plan and GDP; or 13. Establish a plan that is fiscally responsible and viable with consideration of existing and anticipated economic conditions. The No Project (No Build) Alternative is inconsistent with the City's objectives to plan the project area in a comprehensive manner in a way that deals with the logical extension of public services and utilities; to plan for parks and open space to serve residents; to complete the City's circulation; to create densities sufficient to pay for all required services and infrastructure and to encourage employment opportunities within the City. The alternative also fails to meet objectives favoring an accommodation of future projected population in an area reasonably close to future job-growth areas within the City, as well as the construction of affordable housing consistent with the City's goals. It also fails to implement the previously approved Otay Ranch GDP. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15091(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations make this alternative infeasible. REDUCED PROJECT ALTERNATIVE #1 As shown in Table 10-1 in the EIR, Reduced Project Alternative #1 (the 2,799 dwelling unit plan) would include the development of 2,799 residential units, compared to 4,000 units under the proposed Village 9 SPA Plan and TM. This alternative was derived from the intention to provide a more suburban approach to development in the SPA Plan area. This alternative reduces 117 residential development by approximately 30 percent, and promotes a more horizontal mixed- use pattern in place of the more vertical mixed-use plan for the Town Center and Urban Center. In addition, a maximum of 1,030,000 square feet of commercial development would occur under this alternative, compared to 1,500,000 square feet under the proposed project. The reduction in commercial uses would occur primarily in the Urban Center to promote a more horizontal building pattern rather than high-rise structures. The Neighborhood Park would also be reduced by 2.3 acres to accommodate this building pattern. One of the pedestrian parks proposed for the project would be eliminated under this alternative (Planning Area HH). This additional open space area would provide additional transition from developed areas to the MSCP Preserve, but would not be incorporated into the Preserve. Figure 10-1 summarizes the Reduced Project Alternative #1 site utilization plan. Impacts Aesthetics/Landform Alteration Compared to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #1 would result in similar less than significant direct impacts related to scenic vistas, scenic roadways, and steep slopes. This alternative would result in similar grading. Although densities would be reduced, similar land uses would be developed across Village 9. Similar to the project, implementation of the design guidelines in the SPA Plan would reduce direct impacts to a less than significant level. However, significant direct and cumulatively considerable impacts related to visual character and loss of rolling hits would be significant and unavoidable under this alternative, similar to the project because loss of open rolling hills would still occur. Significant impacts related to lighting and glare, including shading, would also occur under this alternative, but would be reduced because this alternative encourages horizontal rather than vertical mixed-use development and would result in fewer high-rise buildings. Similar to the project, this alternative would result in a less than significant impact related to consistency with General Plan and GDP policies related to aesthetics and Iandform alteration, including steep slopes. Transportation and Traffic The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would result in reduced direct and cumulative impacts to traffic and level of service standards and congestion management compared to the project. However, the significant and unavoidable impact to the Olympic Parkway/I-805 northbound ramps intersection would still occur under this alternative. Air Quality The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would result in reduced impacts related to air quality violations compared to the project because fewer construction and operational emissions would result from this alternative. Similar to the project, direct and cumulative construction emissions would remain significant and unavoidable under this alternative due to the amount of grading required. Operational emissions would be reduced because vehicle trips and area sources would be reduced compared to the project. Carbon monoxide emissions associated with the proposed project would be reduced by approximately 14 percent. Significant VOC emissions would be reduced by approximately 26 percent compared to the proposed project. Significant nitrogen oxides emission would be reduced by approximately 20 percent. Significant PM10 impacts would be reduced by approximately 10 percent compared to the proposed project. This alternative 118 would avoid the project's significant impact related to carbon monoxide emissions. However, as shown in Table 10-2 in the EIR, nitrogen oxides, VOC, and PMIO emissions would still exceed the significance thresholds. Direct and cumulative Impacts would be significant and unavoidable, similar to the project. Impacts related to sensitive receptors would be comparable to the project because similar land uses would be allowed under this alternative, including gas stations and development along the western boundary of the site adjacent to SR-125. Impacts would be less than significant with mitigation, similar to the proposed project. Impacts related to odors would be the same under this alternative. No new receptors would be located in the vicinity of Otay Landfill. The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would not exceed the RAQS growth assumption for Village 9 (3,614 residential units). However, this alternative would still result in new significant and unavoidable criteria pollutant emissions. Direct and cumulative Impacts would remain significant and unavoidable, similar to the project. Less than significant impacts related to consistency with General Plan air quality policies would be similar to the project under the Reduced Project Alternative #1. Cultural Resources Impacts related to historical resources would be less than significant under the Reduced Project Alternative #1, similar to the project, because no historical resources are located in Village 9. Potentially significant impacts related to archaeological resources, human remains, and paleontological resources would be the same as the proposed project because this alternative would have the same development footprint as the project and would require ground disturbing activities. The mitigation measures required for the project would also be required for Reduced Project Alternative #1. Similar to the proposed project, even with implementation of these mitigation measures, impacts to unknown resources and human remains would be cumulatively considerable and unavoidable due to the potential for discovery of these resources in Village 9. Similar to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #1 would be consistent with General Plan policies related to cultural resources, and impacts would be less than significant. Global Climate Change The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would result in a less than significant impact related to GHG emissions and compliance with AB 32, similar to the proposed project. Total construction and operational emissions of GHGs would be reduced under this alternative. Commercial and residential land uses would be reduced by approximately 30 percent compared to the proposed project; therefore, it is assumed that GHG emissions from implementation of the proposed project would also be reduced approximately 30 percent. The significant and unavoidable impact related to exacerbation of air quality problems as a result of climate change would be reduced under this alternative because operational emissions of ozone precursors would be reduced, as discussed under Air Quality. However, direct and cumulative impacts related to the potential effects of climate change would still be significant and unavoidable, similar to the project. 119 Agricultural Resources A significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impact related to conversion of agricultural resources would occur under this alternative, similar to the project, because this alternative would have the same development footprint as the project would result in the conversion of land to non-agricultural use. Similar to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #1 would potentially result in land use conflicts that would be mitigated with an agricultural plan that would be implemented to prevent land use conflicts. This alternative would not result in any conflict with agricultural policies and impacts would be less than significant. Public Utilities The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would result in reduced demand for water, wastewater treatment, solid waste, recycled water, and energy compared to the project because less development would occur. However, the mitigation measures identified for the project to ensure provision of public utilities concurrent with development would also be required under this alternative. Similar to the project, future water supply, wastewater treatment, and energy availability cannot be guaranteed; therefore, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable under this alternative although demand would be reduced. Additionally, similar to the proposed project, recycled water impacts would remain significant and unavoidable until recycled water from the South Bay Water Treatment Plant is available to meet the projected future recycled water demand. Findings This alternative would attain six of the 14 objectives of the project and would partially attain the remaining eight objectives. The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would meet Objective 1 because it would create a recognizable place designed to provide 1,030,000 square feet of commercial development in well designed urban districts. It would meet Objectives 2 because it would develop design standards. This alternative would meet Objectives 4 and 6 because it would design neighborhoods with compact and multi-dimensional land use patterns and establish a pedestrian-oriented village. This alternative would implement form-based planning; therefore, it would meet Objective 8. The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would meet Objective 14 because it would establish a plan that is fiscally responsible and viable with consideration of existing and anticipated economic conditions. The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would create a mixed-use urban center and town center, but under this alternative these would include only limited residential uses. The Urban Center and Town Center would not be appropriately scaled in comparison to town centers in neighboring villages, to promote synergistic uses and graceful transitions between villages, or to serve the daily needs of residents in Village 9 as well as surrounding development, including the University and RTP. The reduced density in the Urban Center would not implement a strong relationship between Village 9 and the EUC or encourage supporting centers of creativity, learning, and interaction to extent of the proposed project. The range of residential densities would be limited compared to the proposed project and would not accommodate all income levels and lifestyles. This alternative would not provide housing opportunities to the extent of the proposed project to attract future University and related uses. This alternative would partially implement the goals of the General Plan and GDP because it would provide similar land uses, but not to the extent planned for in the GDP and General Plan. Additionally, the number of mixed-used residential units that would have the potential to provide affordable housing would be reduced by approximately 30 percent because total housing development 120 would be reduced by approximately 30 percent. Opportunities for public spaces that encourage interactivity would also be reduce compared to the project because two proposed pedestrian parks would not be constructed. Therefore, the Reduced Project Alternative #1 would only partially meet Objectives 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Additionally, this alternative would not avoid or substantially lessen any of the project's significant and unavoidable impacts associated with aesthetics (cumulative), air quality (direct and cumulative), archaeological resources and human remains (cumulative), potential effects of climate change (direct and cumulative), agricultural resources (direct and cumulative), water supply (direct and cumulative), wastewater treatment capacity (cumulative), recycled water (cumulative), and energy (direct and cumulative). Therefore, this alternative does not qualify as environmentally superior with respect to the unmitigated impacts. REDUCED PROJECT ALTERNATIVE #2 As shown in Table 10-1 in the EIR, Reduced Project Alternative #2 (the 1,803 dwelling unit plan) would include the development of 1,803 residential units, compared to 4,000 units under the proposed project. This alternative is a low-density alternative based on the minimum densities accommodated by the proposed land uses, shown in Figure 3-3. The lower density alternative is intended to provide more open space and eliminate mixed-use development. The greatest reduction in development would occur in the Urban Center. Under this alternative, residential development would be reduced by approximately 65 percent. Residential densities would also be reduced in the Town Center, Urban Neighborhood, Neighborhood Edge, Neighborhood General, and Neighborhood Center Zones. Commercial development in the Town Center would also be reduced to 532,000 square feet, compared to 1,500,000 square feet under the project. Additionally, the Neighborhood Park (Planning Area L) proposed for the project would be reduced in size, and two pedestrian parks (Planning Areas HH and II) would be eliminated under this alternative. The pedestrian park areas (Planning Areas HH, and II) would provide additional open space, 14.3 acres of open space compared to 9.6 acres under the proposed project. This additional open space area would provide additional transition from developed areas to the MSCP Preserve, but would not be incorporated into the Preserve. One potential elementary school site (Planning Area G) would be eliminated. Under this alternative, Planning Area G would be developed with mixed-use residential and commercial development as part of the Urban Neighborhood Zone. Figure 10-2 summarizes the Reduced Project Alternative #2 site utilization plan. Impacts Aesthetics/Landform Alteration Compared to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #2 would result in similar less than significant direct impacts related to scenic vistas and scenic roadways. Similar to the proposed project, this alternative would accommodate structures with heights up to 215 feet tall. Therefore, potentially significant impacts related to shadow and wind would also occur under this alternative. This alternative would require the same grading footprint as the proposed project and, although densities would be reduced, similar land uses would be developed. Similar to the project, 121 implementation of the design guidelines in the SPA Plan would reduce visual character impacts; however, this alternative would still result in a significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impact to visual character and quality because the loss of rolling hills would occur. Similar to the project, this alternative would result in less than significant impact related to consistency with General Plan policies related to aesthetics and landform alteration, including steep slopes. Transportation and Traffic The Reduced Project Alternative #2 would result in reduced direct and cumulative impacts to traffic and level of service standards and congestion management compared to the project. However, the significant and unavoidable impact to the Olympic Parkway/1-805 northbound ramps intersection would still occur under this alternative. Air Quality Compared to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #2 would result in reduced impacts related to air quality violations because a smaller volume of construction and operational emissions would result from this alternative. Construction emissions would be reduced; however, similar to the project, construction emissions would remain significant and unavoidable under this alternative due to the amount of grading required, and the potential for simultaneous construction activities. Operational emissions would also be reduced compared to the proposed project because vehicle trips and area sources would be reduced compared to the project. As shown in Table 10-3 in the EIR, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, PM10, and PM2,5 emissions would be reduced to a less than significant level under this alternative. VOC emissions would be reduced by approximately 55 percent; however, direct and cumulative impacts for VOC emissions would remain significant and unavoidable for this pollutant, similar to the project. Impacts related to sensitive receptors would still potentially occur as a result of gas stations in the Town Center and Urban Center because they would be exposed to similar uses in these areas as the proposed project. Impacts would be less than significant with the mitigation required for the project. Fewer residences would be developed along the western boundary of Village 9 adjacent to SR-125. However, site specific studies for toxic air contaminant levels at sensitive land use areas would still be required. Impacts related to odors would be the same under this alternative because no new receptors would be located in the vicinity of Otay Landfill as the project. The Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not exceed the RAQS growth assumption for Village 9 (3,614 residential units); however, this alternative would still result in new significant and unavoidable criteria pollutant emissions and would remain inconsistent with the RAQS and State Implementation Plan. Similar to the project, direct and cumulative impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. Less than significant impacts related to General Plan and GDP air quality policies would be similar to the project under the Reduced Project Alternative #2. Cultural Resources Similar to the project, impacts related to historical resources would be less than significant under the Reduced Project Alternative #2 because no historical resources are located in Village 9. Potentially significant impacts related to archaeological resources, human remains, and paleontological resources would be reduced under this alternative because the alternative development footprint would be reduced compared to the project. However, impacts to unknown resources would still have the potential to occur as a result of ground-disturbing construction 122 activities. The mitigation measures required for the project would also be required for Reduced Project Alternative #2. Similar to the project, even with implementation of these mitigation measures, cumulative impacts related to unknown archaeological resources and human remains would be significant and unavoidable. . Similar to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #2 would be consistent with General Plan and GDP policies related to cultural resources, and impact would be less than significant. Global Climate Change The Reduced Project Alternative #2 would further minimize the less than significant impact related to GHG emissions and compliance with AB 32 identified for the proposed project because construction and operational emissions of GHGs would be reduced under this alternative. Additionally, the significant and unavoidable impact related to exacerbation of air quality problems as a result of climate change would be reduced under this alternative because operational emissions of ozone precursors would be reduced. However, the Reduced Project Alternative #2 would still have the potential to exacerbate air quality problems because it would result in significant and unavoidable VOC and nitrogen oxides emissions. Direct and cumulative impacts related to effects of climate change would be significant and unavoidable, similar to the project. Agricultural Resources A significant and unavoidable direct and cumulative impact related to conversion of agricultural resources would occur under this alternative, similar to the project. This alternative would result in the same conversion of land to non-agricultural use compared to the project. Potentially significant impacts related to land use conflicts would also occur under this alternative unless an agriculture plan is implemented. Similar to the project, the Reduced Project Alternative #2 would not result in any conflict with agricultural policies. Impacts related to agricultural zoning and policies would be less than significant. Public Utilities The Reduced Project Alternative #2 would result in less demand for water, wastewater treatment, solid waste, recycled water, and energy compared to the project because less development would occur and less population growth would be generated. However, the mitigation measures identified for the project to ensure provision of public utilities concurrent with development would also be required under this alternative. Similar to the project, future water supply, wastewater treatment, and energy availability cannot be guaranteed; therefore, impacts related to water supply, wastewater and energy would remain significant and unavoidable under this alternative although demand would be reduced. Additionally, similar to the proposed project, recycled water impacts would remain significant and unavoidable until recycled water from the South Bay Water Treatment Plant is available to meet the projected future recycled water demand. This impact would be reduced under the Reduced Project Alternative #2 because demand for recycled water would be reduced under this alternative. Findings This alternative would attain six of the 14 objectives of the project, would partially attain eight objectives. The Reduced Project Alternative #2 would create a recognizable place, well 123 designed to accommodate 532,000 square feet of commercial use and would therefore meet Objective 1. This alternative would meet Objective 2 because it would develop design standards. It would meet Objectives 4 and 6 because it would design compact and mixed use neighborhoods and establish a pedestrian-oriented village. This alternative would meet Objective 8 because it would foster a compact form facilitated by form-based planning. This alternative would establish a plan that is fiscally responsible and viable with consideration of existing and anticipated economic conditions and would therefore meet Objective 14. The Reduced Project Alternative #1 would create a mixed-use urban center and town center, but under this alternative these would include less residential and commercial uses. The Urban Center and Town Center would not be appropriately scaled in comparison to town centers in neighboring villages, to promote synergistic uses and graceful transitions between villages, or to serve the daily needs of residents in Village 9 as well as surrounding development, including the University and RTP. This alternative would implement an orderly growth pattern, but would not establish relationships between Village 9, the EUC, and the University, or encourage supporting centers of creativity, learning, and interaction, to the extent of the project. This alternative would partially implement the goals of the General Plan and GDP because it would provide similar land uses, but not to the extent planned for in the GDP and General Plan. The Reduced Project Alternative would provide range of housing types and styles; however, choices would be limited compared to the proposed project. Additionally, the number of mixed- used residential units that would have the potential to provide affordable housing would be reduced by approximately 55 percent because total housing development would be reduced by approximately 55 percent. Employment opportunities would be reduced under this alternative, which would hinder the ability of the City to ensure economic stability, promote jobs for existing residents, and attract a University, RTP, and related uses. Opportunities for public spaces that encourage interactivity would also be reduce compared to the project because two proposed pedestrian parks would not be constructed. Therefore, the Reduced Project Alternative #1 would only partially meet Objectives 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. Additionally, this alternative would not substantially lessen any of the significant and unavoidable environmental effects of the proposed project. Therefore, this alternative does not qualify as environmentally superior with respect to the unmitigated impacts. ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE CEQA requires that an EIR identify the environmentally superior alternative among all of the alternatives considered, including the project. If any No Project alternative is selected as environmentally superior, then the EIR is required to identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives. The Reduced Project Alternative #2 is identified as the environmentally superior alternative as it would reduce traffic (direct and cumulative), air quality (direct and cumulative), noise (direct and cumulative), biological resources (direct), public services (direct), water quality (direct), and public utilities (direct and cumulative) impacts. Mitigation measures 5.3-12 through 5.3-16, 5.3- 19, 5.3-20, and 5.3-21 identified for potential traffic impacts would not be required under this alternative. However, as with the Reduced Project Alternative #1, this alternative would not avoid any of the project's significant and unavoidable impacts associated with traffic (cumulative impacts to the Olympic Parkway/I-805 northbound ramps intersection), aesthetics (cumulative), air quality (direct and cumulative), archaeological resources (cumulative), potential effects of 124 climate change (direct and cumulative), agricultural resources (direct and cumulative), wastewater treatment capacity (cumulative), recycled water (cumulative), and energy (direct and cumulative). This alternative would reduce significant carbon monoxide and PM2.5 emissions by approximately 25 percent to a less than significant level. The findings as to the infeasibility of the Reduced Project Alternative #2 are provided above. XII. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The project would have significant, unavoidable impacts on the following areas, described in detail in Section IX of these Findings of Fact: • Aesthetics/Landform Alteration (direct impacts to visual character or quality; and cumulative impacts to scenic vistas and resources, visual character or quality) • Transportation/Traffic (cumulative impacts to Olympic Parkway/I-805 Northbound intersection) • Air Quality (direct and cumulative impacts to air quality violations, air quality plans) • Cultural Resources (cumulative impacts to unknown archaeological resources and human remains) • Global Climate Change (direct and cumulative potential effects of global climate change) • Agricultural Resources (direct and cumulative impacts to conversion of agricultural resources, and cumulative impact to land use zoning conflicts) • Public Utilities (direct and cumulative demand for water, wastewater, and energy; cumulative impacts to recycled water) The City has adopted all feasible mitigation measures with respect to these impacts. Although in some instances these mitigation measures may substantially lessen these significant impacts, adoption of the measures will, for many impacts, not fully avoid the impacts. Moreover, the City has examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project. Based on this examination, the City has determined that none of the alternatives: (1) meets project objectives, and (2) is environmentally preferable to the project. As a result, to approve the project, the City must adopt a "statement of overriding considerations" pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15043 and 15093. This provision allows a lead agency to cite a project's general economic, social, or other benefits as a justification for choosing to allow the occurrence of specified significant environmental effects that have not been avoided. The provision explains why, in the agency's judgment, the project's benefits outweigh the unavoidable significant effects. Where another substantive law (e.g., the California Clean Air Act, the Federal Clean Air Act, or the California and Federal Endangered Species Acts) prohibits the lead agency from taking certain actions with environmental impacts, a statement of overriding considerations does not relieve the lead agency from such prohibitions. Rather, the decision-maker has recommended mitigation measures based on the analysis contained in the Final EIR, recognizing that other resource agencies have the ability to impose more stringent standards or measures. 125 CEQA does not require lead agencies to analyze "beneficial impacts" in an EIR. Rather, EIRs are to focus on potential "significant effects on the environment," defined to be "adverse." (Pub. Resources Code Section 21068.) The Legislature amended the definition to focus on "adverse" impacts after the California Supreme Court had held that beneficial impacts must also be addressed (See, Wildlife Alive v. Chickering (1976) 18 Cal.3d 190, 206 [132 Cal.Rptr. 377]). Nevertheless, decision-makers benefit from information about project benefits. These benefits can be cited, if necessary, in a statement of overriding considerations (CEQA Guidelines Section 15093). The City finds that the project would have the following substantial benefits. Any one of the reasons for approval cited below is sufficient to justify approval of the project. Thus, even if a court were to conclude that not every reason is supported by substantial evidence, the City Council would stand by its determination that each individual reason is sufficient. The substantial evidence supporting the various benefits can be found in the preceding findings, which are incorporated by reference into this Section, and in the documents found in the Record of Proceedings, as defined in Section IV. The City, after balancing the specific economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of the project, including considerations for the provision of employment opportunities, determines and finds that the unavoidable adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable" due to the following specific considerations. The Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan would be used as a tool to guide and direct new development, economic development, streetscape and traffic improvements, parking, pedestrian amenities, and mixed land uses in the specific plan area. A total of 4,000 new dwelling units and 1,500,000 additional square feet of retail and office development is proposed for the area. PROJECT BENEFITS Through implementation of the project, the following benefits would be provided to the specific plan area, and the City as a whole: 1. Implementation of City's General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP a. The project would implement the land uses planned by the City for Village 9 in the General Plan and GDP. Implementation of the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM would aid the City in meeting the goals and objectives for citywide growth, including important connections in the projected future roadway network. Specifically, the project as proposed would fully implement Land Use and Transportation Policies 86, 87 and 95, as described below: 1) Objective LUT 86: Develop a corridor of integrated, high-intensity urban uses; office and business parks; retail centers; residential uses; and a major higher educational institution along the SR-125 corridor to serve the East Planning Area and the broader south county region. 126 The project would develop high-intensity urban uses, office, retail, and residential development along SR-125. High-intensity uses would be provided in the Urban Center, at the proposed Main Street/SR-125 ramps to serve the East Planning Area and south county region. 2) Objective LUT 87: Establish a distinctly identifiable corridor that creates a unique sense of place through its integration of diverse uses and land uses within a cohesive development pattern that result in interconnected uses and facilities between the District's Focus Areas and to adjoining communities, open spaces and the sub-region. As discussed under Threshold 1, the SPA Plan includes development guidelines and design regulations to create a cohesive development pattern consistent character throughout Village 9. The proposed development in Village 9 is consistent with the GDP and includes land uses to support the future University, RTP, and EUC, and regional development. Land uses in Village 9 would decrease in density to the south to transition to single-family residential development and open space near the MSCP Preserve. Form-based code would locate buildings, public spaces, and landscaping to create a development patterns that would foster pedestrian activity and enhance community livability. The SPA Plan includes two potential elementary school sites, several types of parkland, two community purpose facility sites, and connections to the University/RTP to support proposed commercial and residential land uses. The buildings in the Village 9 Town Center in Village 9 are oriented toward the University/RTP site. Campus Boulevard has been strategically located and designed to create a strong visual and physical connection between the neighborhood park, and the future University/RTP. 3) Objective LUT 95: Establish a pedestrian-oriented, mixed use Town Center that serves as the interface, or common meeting ground, of the University, RTP, and surrounding residential development and serves the university campus at the size and location shown on the General Plan as well as the RTP workforce. The Village 9 Town Center would connect to and be oriented toward the University. Campus Boulevard would serve as the plaza of the Town Center and provide a common meeting ground with the university. This street would be a two-lane plaza roadway that would include a special street section that allows the street to be closed to traffic and serve as a public space for community events. Campus Boulevard has been strategically located and designed to create a strong visual and physical connection between the neighborhood park, and the future University and RTP. Retail, office, entertainment, cultural, restaurant, and mixed-use structures would be accommodated adjacent to the University in the Town Center, Urban Center, and, to a limited extent, the Neighborhood Center Zones adjacent to the University site/RTP. A variety of housing types would be provided in Village 9, including mixed-use and multi-family structures, attached single-family homes, and detached single-family homes. The SPA Plan indentifies the land uses that would be allowable in Village 9. Future development would be required to comply with the SPA Plan, which would preclude the development of incompatible land uses, such a big box stores and automotive dealerships, as shown in Section 3.3, Zone Standards. The highest intensity development would occur in the northern area of the site, adjacent to the proposed EUC, including retail and office uses. 127 Street A would provide an urban couplet through the mixed-use Urban Center and Town Center, which would provide the highest-intensity development. The Town Center would be directly linked to the University/RTP by Campus Boulevard. Main Street, Street A, and Street B would connect Village 9 to the EUC. Main Street would also connect Village 9 to the RTP. As discussed under Threshold 1, the SPA Plan guidelines and regulations would ensure continuity through urban form; the massing and scale of buildings; interconnected street network and sidewalks; and landscaping. Land uses in Village 9 would transition from the high-intensity Urban Center in the north to single-family residential development in the south. The single-family residential planning areas would only be located south of Otay Valley Road, adjacent to open space, and would separate the open space to the south of Village 9 from the Town Center. The SPA Plan proposes a grid system of streets in the central area of the site that provide multiple connections to the University and a permeated frontage along Street B adjacent to the University. The Urban Center, Town Center, and Neighborhood Center would accommodate land uses to support the University, including opportunities for arts, cultural, retail, and entertainment. Development in the Town Center would be pedestrian oriented with parking to the rear or in structures. Ground floor uses would be pedestrian-active uses, include retail sales and restaurants. The proposed Village 9 circulation system includes an interconnected grid street system with narrow streets that foster pedestrian activity. The design guidelines in the SPA Plan and a Master Precise Plan would ensure a well-designed program of landscape, furniture, lighting, signage, and other amenities along the Town Center's sidewalks and public places. An off-street village pathway would run along Campus Boulevard and connect to the University site. A regional trail is proposed along the entire length of Otay Valley Road in the project area and would connect to the University site/RTP. The regional trail would ultimately extend south from the site to the Otay Valley Regional Park trail system. The project would also contribute to the implementation of a pedestrian bridge over SR-125 that would connect Village 9 to Village 8 East and development west of SR-125. As described above, the ground floor of the Town Center would include pedestrian- active uses. Parking would be oriented to the rear or structures. The SPA Plan includes guidelines and regulations for residential neighborhoods that require orientation of residences toward the public right-of-way and building placement that would diminish the visual dominance of the garage, such as placing garages in lanes rather than along the public street. Village 9 would accommodate uses in the Urban Center and Town Center to serve the University, RTP, and residents, including cultural and entertainment opportunities, retail, and food service. 128 A transit station is proposed in the Town Center. Bus transit service is planned for Village 9 and would connect Village 9 to the University site, RTP, and other surrounding areas. Village 9 would provide a mix of single-family attached townhomes, apartment/condominiums, mixed residential-commercial units, and single-family detached homes. Residential densities would transition from high- intensity multi-family residential development in the Urban Center and Town Center, to lower density residential types in the southern area of Village 9, including attached single-family residences. Detached single-family residences would be located at the southern edge of Village 9, adjacent to permanent open spaces. Residential density of up to 45 dwelling units per acre would be accommodated in the Town Center and up to 60 dwelling units per acre in the Urban Center, both in the transit service area. 2. Transit Oriented Development a. Multi-Dimensional Land Use Patterns. Design neighborhoods with compact and multi- dimensional land use patterns that ensure a mix of uses and joint optimization of transportation modes to minimize the impact of cars, promote walking and bicycling, and provide access to employment, education, recreation, entertainment, shopping, and services. b. Smart-Growth Community. The project would create a place where residents can live, work, shop, and play. The project would allow residents in the SPA to shop and work in their community by providing attractive amenities close to home. c. Efficient Public Transit and Increased Ridership. Establish a pedestrian and transit- oriented village with an intense, vibrant Town Center to reduce reliance on the automobile and promote walking and the use of bicycles, buses, and regional transit. The village concept also promotes more efficient public transit and increased ridership by providing strong activity centers in each village and making transit close and convenient for most residents. The project would also contribute to the implementation of a pedestrian bridge over SR-125 that would connect Village 9 to Village 8 East and development west of SR-125. d. Higher Residential Densities. Higher residential densities at the core are intended to support commercial uses by activating the village core during all hours of the day and promote more walkable communities by providing facilities and services within a quarter mile of most homes. 3. Economic Benefits a. Employment Opportunities. The Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan would help grow the local economy in several ways. It will create new employment opportunities in the City with the provision of new proposed retail, office, and commercial uses that would create a variety of employment opportunities, as well as support development of a University. The construction of development under the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan would generate substantial revenue to the local economy and provide a significant number of construction-related jobs over a 20+ year construction period. Those that would benefit from employment from development under the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan would range from students and adults filling part-time and full-time positions, skilled tradesmen 129 filling certain commercial positions, and professionals filling commercial and office positions. Persons that live in the surrounding residential portion of the specific plan area could be prime candidates for employment opportunities created by the development of the project area. b. New Property and Sales Tax Revenue. Development of vacant parcels will result in an increase of property tax revenues over the 20+ year build-out period. In addition, it is anticipated that the area could generate an additional 1,500,000 square feet of commercial retail and office space which would generate significant sales tax dollars. 4. Aesthetic Benefits a. Zoning and Development Code. The specific land uses and development regulations proposed in the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan would ensure orderly, high quality development of the area. The general development regulations that would create cohesive and enhanced visual quality in the area include the following: ■ Development Concept ■ Zone Standards ■ Building Configurations ■ Frontage Types ■ Performance Standards ■ Sign Regulations ■ Shared Parking ■ Design Guidelines Typical design guidelines include requirements for strong architectural design standards, streetscape amenities, building orientation, vehicle access and avoidance of features that would create pedestrian or vehicular conflicts. Landscape requirements are also included to soften the appearance of building facades and hard surfaces, and provide shade for residents and visitors. 5. Recreational Benefits a. Recreational Development. The project would provide a total of 27.5 acres of parks, of which 23 acres are eligible for credit to meet city and GDP parkland requirements: 1) 14.8 acre neighborhood park would be located in the western portion of the project. 2) 5.1 acres of town squares in Planning Areas C and I, which would consist of small plazas or open spaces in the high-density areas. 3) Planning Areas GG, HH, and II are designated for a total of 7.6 acres of pedestrian parks to support neighboring residences and provide trail connections. 130 b. Trail Connections. The project would provide an off-street village pathway that would run along Campus Boulevard and connect to the University site. A regional trail is proposed along the entire length of Otay Valley Road in the project area and would connect to the University site/RTP. The regional trail would ultimately extend south from the site to the Otay Valley Regional Park trail system. 6. Housing Benefits a. Regional Need for Housing. The project will help meet a projected long term regional need for housing through the provision of future additional housing. San Diego Association of Governments housing capacity studies indicate a shortage of housing will occur in the region within the next 20 years. Over the 20+year anticipated build out, the project could increase the housing stock in the City by up to 4,000 dwelling units, including approximately 400 affordable units. Phasing will occur in response to market conditions, which will help fulfill the demand for housing. The City finds that there is substantial evidence in the administrative record of benefits to transit orientated development, employment, economic effects, aesthetics, recreational/public space, and housing which would directly result from approval and implementation of the project. The City finds that the need for these benefits specifically overrides the impacts of the project on aesthetics/la ndform alteration; air quality; cultural resources; global climate change; agricultural resources; and public utilities. Thus, the adverse effects of the project are considered acceptable. 131 City of Chula Vista CTY CHUILAVISTA Staff Report File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT (FORM BASED CODE) REGULATIONS FOR OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 (FIRST READING) C. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA APPROVING TENTATIVE MAP CVT-09-05 (PCS-09-05) FOR THE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN RECOMMENDED ACTION Council conduct the public hearing, adopt the Resolutions and place the Ordinance on first reading. SUMMARY The applicant, the Otay Land Company, filed an application for the Village 9 SPA (PCM-09-19) and Tentative Map (PCS-09-05) in July 2009. The Village 9 SPA defines the land use character and mix, design criteria, transportation system and public infrastructure requirements for a 323.1-acre site within the Otay Ranch. The Tentative Map implements the SPA Plan by providing for the subdivision of lots and the detailed design of the circulation system and other public improvements consistent with the SPA Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Second- Tier Environmental Impact Report (EIR-10-04) has been prepared to analyze the environmental impacts of the proposed Village 9 SPA and Tentative Map. EIR-10-04 is discussed in detail in a companion agenda statement and must be addressed and acted upon prior to City Council consideration of the Village 9 SPA and Tentative Map. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On May 14, 2014, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR-10-04), the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan (PCM-09-19) City of Chula Vista Page 1 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. and the Tentative Map (PCS-0905) for the Village 9 project. Although the Planning Commission lacked a recommendation for certification of the FEIR, the Planning Commission indicated their desire to take action to move the project forward for Council consideration without delay, and therefore, consistent with the provisions of Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Section 19.48.110 voted 4-0-2-1 to recommend disapproval of the SPA Plan and TM. DISCUSSION Location, Existing Site Characteristics, and Ownership Village 9 is comprised of approximately 323 acres and is generally located south of Main Street/Rock Mountain Road, east of SR-125, north of the Otay River Valley and west of the future University site and Village 10 (see Attachment 1 , Locator Map). The project site is within the Otay Valley parcel of the Otay Ranch planning area. The site is currently in a vacant, natural state and has been used for agricultural purposes in the past. Village 9 is owned by the Otay Land Company (a subsidiary of HomeFed). Project Description Village 9 is proposed to be developed with up to 4,000 multi-family and single-family residential units and 1 ,500,000-square feet of non-residential uses (commercial and office). Of the 4,000 residential units, approximately 3,734-units are multi-family within a mixed-use construct, 161-units are multi- family within a planned development setting, and 105-units are single-family. The 1 ,500,000-square feet of non-residential uses are proposed to provide up to 350,000 square feet of commercial and up to 1 ,150,000 square feet of office uses. Land uses within the village also include parkland, Community Purpose Facility land, two sites for elementary schools and open space. Village 9 also sets aside 50-acres of land to be included as part of the University Park and Innovation District (UPID) (See Attachment 2, Site Utilization Plan). The geographic hub of the village is the Town Center, which is centrally located between Main Street and Otay Valley Road adjacent to the UPID site. Village 9 is oriented around the "spindle," or pair of one-way streets that bisect the village from north to south. A Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line will separate Village 9 from the UPID site to the east, with a transit stop conveniently located to provide access to the UPID and the Town Center. In addition, the small (typically 250-ft. x 350-ft.) block sizes located in the Town Center will promote increased connectivity and provide multiple points of access for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users, as well as vehicles. An east/west Village Pathway, that includes a pedestrian bridge over SR125, will connect pedestrians and bicyclists to the neighborhood park within Village 9 as well as the UPID and the villages to the west (See Attachment 5, Vehicular Circulation and Attachment 6, Pedestrian Circulation). Densities are generally medium to high (10-60 du/ac) in all of the portions of the village north of Otay Valley Road. The planning areas adjacent to Main Street are the highest density (28-60 du/ac) since they are part of the Eastern Urban Center (EUC) land use designation. Densities slightly decrease in the Town Center (18-45 du/ac), which is to be the commercial center of the village, then decrease slightly more in the Mixed-Use Residential (10-27 du/ac) as circulation moves closer to Otay Valley Road. South of Otay Valley Road, densities substantially decrease as the project approaches the Otay Valley and the Otay Ranch Preserve to the south, with traditional single-family lots (3-6 du/ac) being located along the preserve edge (See Attachment 3, Site Utilization Plan Table). City of Chula Vista Page 2 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. General Plan and General Development Plan Compliance The City's General Plan (GP) and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) designate land within the Otay Valley Parcel for urban villages based on the pedestrian friendly village concept. This concept locates higher residential densities and a variety of mixed-uses within the Town Center (or Village Core), and then surrounds the Town Center with decreasing residential densities as the village approaches the Otay River Valley. The General Plan identifies Village 9 as being within the Eastern University District of the Otay Ranch Subarea. The General Plan designates Village 9 for mixed uses within the following Land Use Designations: The Eastern Urban Center Land Use (28-60 units per acre), the Town Center Land Use (18-45 units per acre), and the Residential Mixed-Use, which includes the Residential High (18 - 27 units per acre) and Residential Medium-High (11-18 dwelling units per acre) Land Use Designations. South of Otay Valley Road, there are Residential Medium (6-11 dwelling units per acre) and Residential Low Medium (3-6 dwelling units per acre) Land Use Designations. In addition, Village 9 includes a Neighborhood Park (NP), and two Elementary Schools (ES). The Chula Vista General Plan (GP) provides the vision and policy direction for the planning of Village 9. The GP includes numerous policies (starting on page LUT-269) with regard to Village 9, some of these that relate directly to design and land use are: • Prior to adoption of a SPA involving the university site, locate supporting uses to achieve a cohesive and integrated campus environment. • Development of a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use Town Center along the transportation corridor with the highest intensity of development; directly linked to the university core and EUC, which serves as the centerpiece of identity and community character. • The Town Center will provide a link and continuity of urban form; density; street network; pedestrian sidewalks; paths; and landscape to the campus core. • The campus core shall be linked with the transit center established within the Town Center. • Continuity shall be provided through urban form; the massing and scale of buildings; interconnected street network and sidewalks; and landscaping. • Buildings shall be sited along common sidewalks, pathways, and plazas to stimulate a high level of pedestrian activity. In addition, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) authorizes 4,000 dwelling units (3,895 multi-family, and 105 single-family), 27.5 acres of parkland (Neighborhood, Pedestrian, and Town Square Parks), 5.0 acres of Community Purpose Facility (CPF), 19.8 acres for schools (two Elementary Schools) as well as up to 1 ,500,000 square feet of commercial and office space. The GDP includes specific character policies (Part II, Chapter 1 , and Section F.9) to be implemented at the SPA level. Some of these that relate specifically to the Village 9 design and land use plan are: • The northern portion of the village is located within the boundaries of the Eastern Urban City of Chula Vista Page 3 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. Center (EUC). Development in the northern portion shall be compatible with the EUC land uses. • Development will be centered in the University Town Center area, along the one-way pair road system and the transit corridor as the location of the highest intensity of development in order to achieve a pedestrian-oriented mixed-use district that will provide a direct link to the University Campus to the west and the EUC to the north, and serves as the centerpiece of identity and community character. • Provide for the development of uses that directly support or complement the University Campus, such as commercial services, office, and faculty, staff, and student housing. • Structures within the heart of the University Town Center area shall be located and designed to form a common "building wall" along sidewalks, with parking to the rear or in subterranean structures, to stimulate pedestrian activity. • Provide for the development of retail and office uses in a more intense format necessary to serve related businesses that are complementary to business and retail needs intended for the EUC, the University Campus, and the Innovation District (formerly known as the Regional Technology Park - RTP) • Land use designs shall consider the overall natural landform and generally slope down toward the Otay River Valley. Lower density residential development along the southern portion of the village shall emphasize views of the Otay River Valley. Regional trails shall link the village to the Otay Valley Regional Park.

The following outlines how the SPA Plan and Form Based Code implement the GP and GDP policies and objectives: SPA Plan A. Eastern Urban Center (EUC) District Area Land Uses The Village 9 EUC district area consists of 9 sites (Planning Areas A, B-1, B-2, C, D, E-1, E-2, H-1, and H-2) that will include a mixture of residential/office and residential/commercial. Up to 1,190,000 square feet of non-residential, comprised of 1,140,000 square feet of office and 50,000 square feet of commercial, is targeted for 8 of the 9 sites. While 1,190,000 square feet of non-residential is the target, the SPA Plan guarantees that a minimum of 400,000 square feet of non-residential (comprised of a minimum of 390,000 square feet of office and 10,000 of commercial) will be constructed within the EUC district. In addition to the non-residential square footages listed above, the Eastern Urban Center will include up to 1,912 multi-family units constructed in vertical and horizontal mixed use formats. The Eastern Urban Center district area includes a Town Square Park (Planning Area C). B. Town Center (TC) District Area Land Uses The Village 9 TC district area consists of 15 sites (Planning Areas K-1, K-2, M, N, 0-1, 0-2, P, Q, R- 1, R-2, I, J, L, F and G) that will include a mixture of residential/commercial or residential/commercial City of Chula Vista Page 5 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. and residential/office. Up to 278,000 square feet of non-residential, comprised of 268,000 square feet of commercial and 100,000 square feet of office, is targeted for 11 of the 15 sites. While 278,000 square feet of non-residential is the target, the SPA Plan guarantees that a minimum of 100,000 square feet of non-residential (comprised of a minimum of 90,000 square feet of commercial and 10,000 of office) will be constructed within the TC district. In addition to the non-residential square footages listed above, the Town Center will include up to 1 ,030 multi-family units constructed in vertical and horizontal mixed use formats. The Town Center district area includes a Town Square Park (Planning Area I), a Community Purpose Facility (Planning Area J), and the Neighborhood Park (Planning Area L). An Elementary School is proposed for Planning Area G. C. Mixed-Use Residential (MUR) District Area Land Uses The Village 9 Mixed-Use Residential district area consists of 13 potential mixed use sites (Planning Areas S-1 , S-2, T, U-1 , U-2, V, X, Y-1 , Y-2, W, Z-1 , Z-2, and CC) that will include a mixture of residential/commercial. Up to 32,000 square feet of non-residential commercial, is targeted for 11 of the 13 of the sites. While 32,000 square feet of non-residential is the target, the SPA Plan does not guarantee a minimum that will be constructed within the MUR district. In addition to the non- residential square footages listed above, the Town Center will include up to 792 multi-family units constructed in vertical and horizontal mixed use formats. The Mixed-Use Residential district area includes a Community Purpose Facility (Planning Area X). An Elementary School is proposed for Planning Area W. D. Residential (Medium) Land Uses The Village 9 residential medium density (6 to 11 units per acre) planning areas (AA and BB) are proposed to contain 161 dwelling units in attached and detached formats that are compatible with the traditionally lotted single-family residences. These neighborhoods allow for a variety of building configurations including conventional homes, motor courts, linear green courts, bungalow green courts, village houses, row houses and neighborhood recreation facilities, as well as dwellings with innovative designs (i.e design solutions that may not meet the strict definition of the building configurations listed above) (See Section 3.4 of the SPA Plan). E. Residential (Low Medium) Land Uses The Village 9 residential low-medium density (3 to 6 units per acre) neighborhoods (Planning Areas DD, EE and FF) are proposed to contain 105 single-family residences on lot sizes ranging from approximately 5,375 to 12,085 square feet (See Enclosure 2 - Village 9 Tentative Map). Single-family residences with the lowest densities are located along the edge of the Otay Ranch Preserve in the southern portion of Village 9. Planned Community District Regulations/Design Plan (Form Based Code) Unlike the majority of SPA Plans, Village 9 is proposing a Form Based Code (FBC) that combines elements of the typical Planned Community (PC) District Regulations with the typical SPA Design Plan. The FBC (Chapter 3 of the SPA Plan) focuses on the physical form of development and its relationship to the public realm, rather than on a strict set of permitted uses found in typical PC District Regulations. City of Chula Vista Page 6 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. In form-based planning, the built environment is organized as a range of geographic and development "transects" or cross sections. Each transect is composed of elements that support its local character, such as: zone, building configuration, lot configuration, land use, frontage type and other physical elements of the human environment. The transects in Village 9 provide organization for development that focuses activity on the Eastern Urban Center, Town Center, and Mixed-Use Residential Districts transitioning into the residential areas and rural open space along the southern edges of the village. These 5 transects are further divided into 11 zones, allowing for greater diversity and smoother transition between transects, as noted below: • T-1: Open Space Preserve (OP) and Open Space (OS) Zones • T-2: Neighborhood Edge (NE) and Neighborhood General (NG) Zones • T-3: Neighborhood Center (NC) Zone • T-4: Town Center (TC) and Urban Neighborhood (UN) Zones • T-5: Urban Center (UC) Zones • SD: Special District (encompassing the Parks (P), Community Purpose Facility (CPF) and the University/Regional Technology Park (U) Zones Viewed as a series of sections from the south to the north, the site ranges from the open space T-1 transect (OS and OP Zones) to the more intense urban development of the T-5 (UC Zone) transect (see Attachment 4 - Regulating Plan). Each of these zones then regulates the building configuration, lot configuration, setbacks and encroachments for the various zones identified in the Regulating Plan. Thirteen separate building configurations are permitted within Village 9 from Conventional Homes in the south, to Stacked, Live/Work and the Commercial Block units in and around the Eastern Urban Center and Town Center. Building Configuration standards (Section 3.4 of the FBC) identify specific regulations for the design of buildings and the layout of lots to regulate important characteristics (pedestrian and vehicular access, open space, location of parking, etc.). The FBC also establishes general regulations (parking, temporary uses, lighting, etc.) that apply in all of the zones, as well as street standards that define the public realm. The implementation/administration of the FBC includes a number of features, the following two of which are important to note: • Intensity Transfers: The FBC permits the transfer of intensity/units between Planning Areas under certain circumstances. This is an administrative process, conducted by the Zoning Administrator to ensure that Village 9 maintains the intended minimum levels of intensity. The SPA Plan provides a target number of units and a range of non-residential square footage. But, the SPA also recognizes the need for flexibility in planning to accommodate future development constraints and market demand. Any project that is not in exact conformance with the Site Utilization Plan Table requires an intensity transfer. Any transfer of intensity/units between planning areas with the same land use is permitted provided the transfer is: o consistent with the SPA Plan; City of Chula Vista Page 7 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. • consistent with the circulation system and the technical studies of the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as related to infrastructure; • the overall target intensity of 4,000 residential units and 1,500,000 square feet of non- residential floor area is not exceeded; and • a combined minimum total of 500,000 is maintained in the remaining planning areas. Any other type of transfer will require a SPA Amendment. • Monitoring: Since the Village 9 FBC permits intensity transfers, monitoring is necessary to ensure compliance with the FBC and SPA documents. The FBC establishes Intensity Monitoring Tables that are to be reviewed as part of the application completeness process. The applicant is also required to address and update the applicable SPA sections and tables as applications are brought forward. Circulation The Village 9 Circulation and Corridor Design Plan provides for a system of roadway and trail corridors to support both vehicular and non-vehicular modes of transportation to serve the community. This system includes the extension of existing and planned roads, trails and transit from adjacent villages, as well as internal systems to serve the village. Streets within the village are designed as "complete" streets in that they enable safe access for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. Complete streets provide the following benefits: • Improved safety for all users by providing adequate facilities for all users and reducing traffic speeds. • Balanced transportation systems that provide direct connections, variety of transportation choices and reduced traffic congestion. • Opportunities for healthier, more active lifestyles that include walking and bicycling. • A potential reduction in carbon emissions and dependence on oil by shifting trips to non- motorized and alternative modes of transportation. Regional access to the Village 9 project site is currently provided by SR-125 via Birch Road to the Eastlake Parkway terminus at Hunte Parkway. Future improvements will extend Main Street (formerly Rock Mountain Road) through the site in an east-west direction, connecting Village 9 to Village 8 East, the University and Village 11. The Otay Ranch GDP plans for, and the SPA Plan implements, eventual expansion of the regional transit system by including stops for a planned Rapid Bus route along Main Street. The SPA Plan also plans for local transit. In addition, future improvements will bring Otay Valley Road through the site in an east-west direction, connecting Village 9 to Village 10. The SPA Plan also implements the regional transit goals of the Otay Ranch GDP by providing for the expansion of the South Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The BRT will run through Village 9 in the center of Street "B" (the street between Village 9 and the UPID) and then continue west along Otay Valley Road. The route then heads south on SR- City of Chula Vista Page 8 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. 125 to the Otay Mesa border crossing. A transit station is planned to be located at the intersection of Street "B" and Campus Boulevard that will provide regional users access to the Town Center and UPID. The South Bay BRT will eventually connect the border region to downtown San Diego. As mentioned earlier, the Village 9 Town Center is designed around a "spindle," or one-way pair of streets bisecting the western edge of the Town Center. The eastern edge of the Town Center will be defined by the Transit Boulevard where the BRT line will create the University's western boundary. The Town Center street grid (with blocks sizes averaging 250-ft. x 350-ft.), will promote increased connectivity and provide multiple points of access for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and vehicles. (see Attachment 5 - Vehicular Circulation). Parks, Open Space and Trails The SPA Plan identifies and describes park, recreation, open space and trail facilities and their implementation within the proposed community. A pedestrian network is established through a network of trails, pathways, parks and open spaces. A 14-acre Neighborhood Park will be the major park element of Village 9, located in the heart of the Town Center. In addition, Town Squares will be provided in each of the two urban districts, with a 3-acre site located on the edge of the Eastern Urban Center, and a 1-acre site located in the "spindle" of the Town Center. There are also three Pedestrian Parks located in the lower density residential neighborhoods. Park GG is a 3-acre site located in the middle of these neighborhoods south of Otay Valley Road, and Parks HH and II are 1- acre and 3-acre sites respectively that will be located on the preserve edge offering residents passive recreational opportunities. Parks HH and II will also provide residents and regional trail user's access to the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). In addition to the parks provided on-site, Village 9 proposes to provide 9-acres of community parkland as part of the 70-acre park planned in the Villages 4 and 8 West area. The Village 9 SPA Plan also provides four open space areas totaling 9.6-acres along the southern project boundary adjacent to or within the Otay Valley Preserve, in conformance with the overall open space element of the Otay Ranch. Consistent with the requirements of the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan, the proposed project must convey land to the Otay Ranch Preserve. Each 1-acre of developed land requires the dedication of 1 .188 acres of land to the Otay Ranch Preserve, to be conveyed with the approval of each Final Subdivision Map. Pursuant to the requirements, Village 9 has an obligation to provide approximately 237.8 acres to the preserve. The Village Pathway is a multi-use trail that allows bicycles and pedestrians to travel between village cores and town centers off-street, and will eventually connect all of the village cores within Otay Ranch. In Village 9, the village pathway will traverse the site through the Town Center along Campus Boulevard. It enters the village from the University to the east and bisects the 14-acre Neighborhood Park before crossing the SR-125 via a 13-ft. wide pedestrian and bicycle bridge that will connect Village 9 to Village 8-East (See Section 6 - Pedestrian Circulation). The Regional Trail is a 10-foot decomposed granite path that will enter and exit Village 9 along the south side of Otay Valley Road. The Regional Trail will also provide access from Village 9 to the Otay Valley Regional Park. The proposed Tentative Map identifies where that connection will be made, City of Chula Vista Page 9 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. and Conditions No. 30 and 31 address the subsequent design, funding and construction of the connector trail. Public Facilities The SPA Plan describes the public facility needs associated with the Village 9 land plan. More specifically, the SPA Plan addresses the following facility needs: potable water, recycled water, sewer service, storm water drainage, urban runoff, public schools, child care facilities, police and fire service, library services, civic facilities and regional facilities. Please refer to the SPA Plan (Enclosure 1) pages 8-1 through 8-10 for more details. Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) and Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) The PFFP, prepared for the city by Pacific Municipal Consultants (PMC), addresses all of the public facility needs associated with Village 9. The PFFP has been prepared under the requirements of the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program (GMP), Growth Management Ordinance (GMO) (CVMC 19.09), and Chapter 9 - Growth Management of the Otay Ranch GDP. The preparation of the PFFP is required in conjunction with the preparation of the SPA Plan to ensure that the development is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's General Plan, GMP, GMO and the Otay Ranch GDP. The PFFP analyzes the demand for facilities based upon the project's land use and transportation phasing plan. When specific thresholds are projected to be reached or exceeded, the PFFP provides recommended mitigation necessary for continued compliance with the City of Chula Vista's GMP, GMO and associated Quality-of-Life Threshold Standards. The PFFP does not propose a different development phasing from that proposed by the Village 9 SPA Plan, but may indicate that the development should be limited or reduced until certain actions are taken to guarantee public facilities will be available or provided to meet the Quality of Life Threshold Standards. The PFFP provides an analysis of threshold requirements and a set of recommendations for public facility needs associated with traffic, police, fire and emergency services, schools, libraries, parks, water, sewer, drainage, air quality, civic center, corporation yard, and other city administrative facilities. The PFFP also includes a Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) of the Village 9 plan and phasing program that was prepared by PMC as well. The Village 9 FIA has been prepared using the City's Fiscal Impact Framework to provide a consistent evaluation of all of the Chula Vista SPAs. The Framework utilizes the City of Chula Vista budget to identify and allocate variable revenues and costs that grow proportionally with incremental development, and sets up a consistent method to calculate revenue and cost impacts that may change according to the specific development program. Such variables include property taxes, vehicle license fees, sales tax receipts, and transient occupancy tax receipts. Based on the FIA and the assumptions contained therein, annual fiscal impacts are negative from Year 1 through Year 10 (assuming an Expenditure Real Inflation Rate of 0%). In the first year there is a net fiscal deficit of approximately $176,400, which spikes in Year 6 at $314,000 and turns positive in Year 11 with a surplus of approximately $195,000. The fiscal surplus grows to an annual net fiscal surplus of approximately $727,500 by build out, Year 20. Residential units are primarily constructed during the early years of the project which produce greater costs than revenues, creating the early years' deficit. With more non-residential (office and commercial) development underway beginning in Year 6, the deficit declines due to increased property and sales taxes. From Year 11 to buildout City of Chula Vista Page 10 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. (Year 20) revenues exceed expenditures due to the significant increases in retail and office development during those years. CVMC Section 19.09.060(J) states that "projects shall be conditioned to provide funding for periods where expenditures exceed projected revenues." A condition has been added to the Tentative Map conditions requiring that the applicant enter into an agreement to provide such funding. Please refer to the PFFP, which includes the fiscal impact analysis, for additional details (Appendix A, SPA Plan). Community Purpose Facilities CVMC 19.48 requires the provision of 1 .39 acres of land per 1 ,000 persons be zoned for Community Purpose Facilities (CPF) when creating a SPA Plan. This requirement may be reduced or complied with in an alternative manner based on the availability of shared parking for the use or through the provision of an extraordinary public benefit provided certain requirements are met. Pursuant to the provisions of the Land Offer Agreement (LOA), the Applicant agreed to provide a minimum of 4 acres of CPF land per village. The applicant is proposing to satisfy this requirement by designating two parcels for CPF uses. Parcel J is a 2.3-acre site located within the spindle of the Town Center, and Parcel X is a 2.6-acre site located within the spindle in the Mixed-Use Residential district. In addition, the Applicant is providing the extraordinary benefit of 50 acres of land for the UPID, and 160 acres of preserve land. This public benefit would not have been obtained through the standard provision of land in each village and is similar in nature to other uses permitted within the CPF designation. The land will be available for UPID uses in compliance with the LOA. Tentative Subdivision Map (PCS-09-05) The Village 9 Tentative Map covers 323.1 acres of land, and provides a 50-acre irrevocable offer of dedication for the UPID. The proposed subdivision of the remaining 273.1 acres of land includes 32 multi-family development parcels and three single-family neighborhoods with 105 lots. There are two Community Purpose Facility (CPF) sites, two Elementary School sites, and five park sites. There will be approximately 10 acres of Open Space, and approximately 26 acres of land devoted to major roads and freeway right-of-way. The multi-family parcels may be re-subdivided as development projects are submitted. The SPA Plan and the design process described in the Form Based Code will control the dwelling unit counts within each of these larger parcels and ensure that development occurs in an orderly manner. The overall grading concept results in a development site that is sloped from the north to the south. The grading proposes a balanced grading program with approximately 6.2 million cubic yards of cut and fill. In compliance with the requirements of the City's General Plan and the Otay Ranch GDP, contour grading techniques will be utilized on all manmade slopes. Fire Protection Plan The City requires the preparation and approval of a Fire Protection Plan (FPP) with every new SPA Plan. Planning Areas are broken into Fuel Management Zones (FMZ). City of Chula Vista Page 11 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. Planning Area A is assigned three 50-foot zones that permit specific plant types and planting requirements. Zone 1 is typically adjacent to a rear property line and is 50 feet in width; however, it also includes some of the backyard areas in Neighborhoods V and P, and would prohibit structures being built within it. Zone 2 will extend from 50 to 100 feet, and Zone 3 extends from 100 to 150 feet and is adjacent to the preserve. A detailed plant list included in the FPP identifies the plant palette and planting and maintenance requirements for each of these zones. Planning Area B consists of two zones that are adjacent to the rear property line and 50 feet in width. Zones 1 and 2 have the same requirements as Planning Area A Zones 1 and 2; however they have a different plant palette as described in the FPP. Planning Area C is composed of steep manufactured interior slopes that contain 2:1 slopes or greater and an elevation change of at least 10 feet. This zone varies in width depending on the size of the slope. Types and spacing of plants, trees and shrubs are outlined in the Landscape Master Plan. All three of the single-family lotted (Planning Areas DD, EE, and FF) and one multi-family (Planning Area CC) are located adjacent to Urban Wildlife Interface and Off-Site Fuel Management Zones. Because of their proximity to these areas, an off-site fuel management program shall be provided prior to a final map approval for these planning areas. Please refer to the Fire Protection Plan for more details (Appendix F, SPA Plan, Figure 10, Fuel Management Zones: Perimeter and Managed Spaces). Affordable Housing Plan (AHP) The Chula Vista General Plan Housing Element contains objectives, policies and action programs to accomplish key affordable housing objectives. Within Village 9 SPA Plan, compliance with the affordable housing requirements of the City's General Plan and the Otay Ranch GDP are required, including that 10 percent or 400 of the total 4,000 units be affordable to low and moderate income households (200 units to low income households, 200 units to moderate income households). The AHP identifies that the affordable housing sites will be located within multi-family neighborhoods within, or immediately adjacent to the Town Center, in close proximity to public transportation, schools, parks, retail commercial and community purpose facilities. Other SPA Supporting Appendices Documents The Village 9 SPA Plan includes other appendix documents, such as the Air Quality Improvement Plan (Appendix B, SPA Plan), the Nonrenewable Energy Conservation Plan (Appendix C, SPA Plan), the Preserve Edge Plan (Appendix D, SPA Plan), and the Water Conservation Plan (Appendix G, SPA Plan) for further review and in compliance with SPA planning requirements. DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Councilmembers and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property that is subject to this action Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. City of Chula Vista Page 12 of 14 Printed on 5/29/2014 powered by LegistarT" File#: 14-0289, Item#: 5. LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS The City's Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Village 9 Project supports the Economic Vitality goal, particularly City Initiative 2.1.3 (Promote and support development of quality master-planned communities). The Village 9 implementation documents (the SPA Plan and TM) support the development of a quality master-planned community (as described above) and allow the City the opportunity to accept lands for the UPID, as agreed to in the LOA between the City and the Otay Land Company, which will provide access to higher education for the citizens of Chula Vista and south bay. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The processing for the SPA Plan, Tentative Map and all supporting documents were funded by a developer deposit account. This account funded city staff and consultants representing the city on the Village 9 project. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT As noted earlier in this report, a Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) was prepared for the Village 9 SPA Plan and TM. As presented in more detail in the PFFP chapter of the SPA Plan (Appendix A, SPA Plan), and based on a set of development phasing assumptions, annual fiscal impacts are negative from Year 1 through Year 10 (assuming an Expenditure Real Inflation Rate of 0%). In the first year there is a net fiscal deficit of approximately $176,400, which spikes in Year 6 at $314,000 and turns positive in Year 11, with a surplus of approximately $195,000. The fiscal surplus grows to an annual net fiscal surplus of approximately $727,500 by build out, Year 20. Residential units are primarily constructed during the early years of the project which produce greater costs than revenues, creating the deficit. With more non-residential (office and commercial) development underway beginning in Year 6, the deficit declines due to increased property and sales taxes. From Year 11 to buildout (Year 20) revenues exceed expenditures due to the significant increases in retail and office development during those years. The projected surpluses for years 11 to buildout assume that the office space and retail development takes place as is outlined in the absorption schedule and that inflation is 0% during the buildout period. Because the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that "projects shall be conditioned to provide funding for periods where expenditures exceed projected revenues", a condition of approval (Condition No. 13) has been added to the Tentative Map that requires the applicant enter into an agreement to provide such funding prior to the first Final Map.

III. SPA FINDINGS A. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE OTAY RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND ITS SEVERAL ELEMENTS. The proposed Village 9 SPA Plan reflects land use designations, circulation, and public facilities that are consistent with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The proposed SPA Plan is compatible with previously approved plans and regulations applicable to surrounding sites and, therefore, the proposed SPA Plan can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with surrounding development. B. THE PROPOSED SPA PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS. The proposed Village 9 SPA Plan will promote the orderly sequentialized development of the SPA Plan area because the project will be developed in a manner that is consistent with the project's Form Based Code, Phasing Plan, and Public Facilities Financing Plan. C. THE PROPOSED SPA PLAN WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. The proposed Village 9 SPA Plan has been reviewed and has been determined to be consistent with the overall land use pattern and circulation system envisioned in the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. Environmental Impact Report FEIR -10-04 and its associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program have been prepared and any impacts associated with the proposed SPA Plan would be mitigated to the extent feasible. Thus, the proposed SPA Plan, as a whole, would not adversely affect the adjacent land uses, residential enjoyment, circulation or Resolution No. Page 4 environmental quality of the surrounding uses.

IV. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS Resolution No. 2013- Page 3 A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein for the Project, is in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following: 1. Land Use and Circulation The Project is consistent with and implements the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan by establishing developable parcels, public improvements and public facilities that will create an intensified mixed-use Town Center and other complementary land uses, including community purpose facilities, public schools and parks, and residential neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing types and densities. The Eastern Urban Center and the Town Center would be comprised of integrated commercial, residential and office uses that would encourage use of alternative modes of transportation and reduce reliance on the automobile. The Project will be designed to encourage residents to utilize alternative modes of transportation such as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, the rapid bus service, the SR-125 Village Pathway Bridge, pedestrian sidewalks and trails, and bicycle lanes. The Project has been designed to include a vehicle circulation system that complies with the requirements of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan, Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan. The circulation system includes a pair of one-way streets or a spindle in the Town Center, and a Transit Boulevard for the BRT. Reduced lane widths and bulb-outs at intersections will enhance pedestrian comfort and safety in the EUC, Town Center, and Mixed-Use Residential districts. The construction of the circulation system will be phased in accordance with the Village 9 SPA's Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP), such that the development of the circulation system will respond to planned growth and maintain acceptable levels of service, as required by the City's Growth Management Program. 2. Economic Development The Project will contribute to the economic base of the City by providing a dense urban environment with a street grid system in the Eastern Urban Center, Town Center, and Mixed Use Residential districts that will be a high-quality, energy- efficient employment center that includes commercial, office and multi-family residential uses, that will enhance the image and appearance of the Otay Ranch community and will benefit the local economy. Approval of the Project will help achieve the General Plan objectives that seek to promote a variety of job and housing opportunities to improve the City's jobs/housing balance,provide a diverse economic base, and encourage the growth of small businesses. 3. Public Facilities and Services To fulfill educational needs of students residing in Village 9, two elementary school sites totaling 19.8 acres have been reserved as described in the PFFP for acquisition by the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Chula Vista Elementary School District would be able to accommodate the additional students generated by the Project, and the existing schools would not be adversely impacted by the approval of the Project. Sewer Resolution No. 2013- Page 4 The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. Sewer capacity needs for the Project, in conjunction with long-term growth in the area, have been analyzed in the PFFP. Sewer capacity will be available to serve the Project subject to the PFFP requirements, which are included as Conditions of Approval for the Project. Based on these requirements, no adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the Project. Parks The Project has been conditioned to dedicate parkland for a 14-acre Neighborhood Park, two town square parks, and three pedestrian parks, for a total of 27.5 acres. Another 9 acres will be provided by property from an off-site location within the Otay Ranch Community Park. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should such contribution not be made at the time required by the Parkland Dedication Ordinance (PLDO), the Applicant shall be responsible for providing a 9-acre site at another location approved by the City in its sole discretion, or by the payment of park fees in accordance with the PLDO. Phasing of park facilities and maintenance has been addressed in the PFFP. The actual park facilities and amenities will be determined in conjunction with the park master plan process for each individual park. The applicant will also be required to pay park acquisition and development fees prior to issuance of Final Maps/building permits. Services The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those services. The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the proposal meets those standards. Project construction will be required to comply with the applicable California Green Building Standards, the City's Green Building Standards and the City's Energy Efficiency Ordinance in affect at the time of building permit issuance, and therefore energy-efficient homes will be developed. 4. Housing The Project will provide a variety of housing types, including single-and multi-family residential home ownership opportunities, as well as affordable housing opportunities, as required by the Affordable Housing Plan prepared for Project. The Project has been conditioned to require that the Applicant enter into an agreement to provide affordable housing prior the approval of the first Final Map. Thus the Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the City's General Plan by providing additional opportunities for high-quality, market-rate single-family residential home ownership in the southwestern portion of the City. 5. Growth Mana eg ment The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element requirements because a PFFP has been prepared as required by the Growth Management Ordinance. These PFFP requirements have been included in the Project's conditions of approval. 6. Environmental Resolution No. 2013- Page 5 The Project EIR-10-04 addressed the goals and policies of the Environmental Element of the General Plan and found development of this site to be consistent with these goals and policies. The Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan requires conveyance of 1.188 acres of land to the Otay Ranch Preserve for every one-acre of developed land prior to approval of any Final Map, which is equivalent to approximately 237.8 acres. The Project has been conditioned to dedicate Multi- species Conservation Plan (MSCP) open space preserve lands prior to approval of the Final Map. The Project is consistent with the requirements of the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP) and MSCP Subarea Plan. B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allows for the optimum siting of lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities and that the development of the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to ensure the maximum utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities. C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City Council 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. D. The site is physically suited for development because it will be developed in conformance with the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan and EIR-10-04, which contain provisions to ensure that the site is developed in a manner that is consistent with the standards established by the City for a master—planned community. E. The conditions herein imposed on the Project, are approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created by the Project, based upon the City's police powers and evidence provided by the record of the proceedings of EIR-10-04. V. GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66020 NOTICE Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d) (1), NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 90 day period to protest the imposition of any impact fee, dedication, reservation, or other exaction described in this resolution begins on the effective date of this resolution and any such protest must be in a manner that complies with Section 66020(a) and failure to follow timely this procedure will bar any subsequent legal action to attack, set aside, void or annual imposition. The right to protest the fees, dedications, reservations, or other exactions does not apply to planning, zoning, grading, or other similar application processing fees or service fees in connection with the project; and it does not apply to any fees, dedication,reservations, or other exactions which have been given notice similar to this, nor does it revive challenges to any fees for which the Statute of Limitations has previously expired.

RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 OVERVIEW This Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) addresses the public facility needs associated with the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Planning Area (SPA) and is a component of the SPA document. The developer-proposed project as described in the SPA Plan is referred to as "Village 9", "Village 9 SPA Plan", or "Project" in this PFFP. The Project "Developer" is also referred to in the PFFP as the "Applicant", those words are used interchangeably. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM The Chula Vista Growth Management Program (GMP) was first adopted by the City Council in 1991. The purpose of the GMP is to implement the City's General Plan and establish a mechanism that helps to insure that development does not occur unless facilities and improvements are available to support that development. The GMP does this by identifying all facilities and improvements necessary to accommodate the land uses specified in the General Plan, by indicating where and when facilities fall short of threshold level of service standards established for each facility type, and by identifying the means by which additional facilities shall be provided. The GMP is implemented through the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) process. The GMOC monitors the impact of development on the City's ability to provide services. The thresholds monitored by the GMOC are as follows: • Traffic . Sewer • Police 0 Drainage • Fire and Emergency Medical Services 0 Civic Center • Schools . Corporation Yard • Libraries . Air Quality • Parks, Trails and Open Space 0 Fiscal Impacts • Water This PFFP for the Village 9 project has been prepared under the requirements of the City of Chula Vista's GMP and Chapter 9, "Growth Management" of the GDP. The preparation of the PFFP is required in conjunction with the preparation of the SPA Plan for the project to ensure that the development of the project is consistent with the overall goals and policies of the City's General Plan, the GMP, and the GDP. The GDP was originally adopted by the Chula Vista City Council on October 28, 1993, to ensure that development within the Otay Ranch will not adversely impact the City's Quality of Life Standards. This PFFP is based upon the project information that has been presented in the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Plan Area (SPA) dated May, 2013, and prepared by William Hezmalhalch Architects, Inc. The PFFP analyzes the existing demand on facilities based upon the demand from existing development and the specific facility demand of the Project. The PFFP also considers those development projects with various entitlements from 2011 through the year 2016. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 1-1 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA Facility Thresholds Facility thresholds are indicators of the capacity of a given facility to meet increasing demand from new development while remaining in compliance with the GMP Threshold Standards established for each facility category'. When the established thresholds for a specific facility are projected to be reached or exceeded based upon the analysis of the development of the project, the PFFP identifies those facilities necessary for continued compliance with the GMP and, where appropriate, outlines conditions of approval that are applied to project entitlements. The PFFP does not propose a different development phasing from that proposed by the Village 9 SPA Plan, but requires that the development should be limited or reduced until certain actions are taken to guarantee public facilities will be available or provided to meet the Quality of Life Standards. Subsequent changes to the SPA Plan may require an amendment to this PFFP. Performance of Threshold-Driven Actions Typically, as an applicant receives each succeeding development approval, the applicant must perform a series of required actions intended to assure that facilities will be provided concurrently with need. Failure to perform any required action will curtail the Project's development approvals. The typical actions are illustrated below: GDP: • Goals, objectives & policies established; • Facility thresholds established; • Processing requirements established. SPA: • Facility financing refined and funding source identified consistent with GDP goals, objectives & policies; • Facility demand and costs calculated consistent with adopted land uses and GDP- defined methodologies; • Specific facility financing and phasing analysis performed to assure compliance with Growth Management Thresholds; • Facilities sited and zoning identified. Tentative Map: • Subdivision approval conditioned upon assurance of facility funding; • Subdivision approval conditioned upon payment of fees, or the dedication, reservation or zoning of land for identified facilities; • Subdivision approval conditioned upon construction of certain facility improvements. Also found in Sec 19.09.04 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code,(Growth Management Program Policy and Ordinance) Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 1-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Final Map: • Tentative Map conditions performed; • Lots created. Building Permit: • Impact fees paid as required. Role of the PFFP in the Entitlement Process The critical link between the City's Quality of Life thresholds and development entitlement is the PFFP. Part II, Chapter 9, Section C of the GDP/SPA Processing Requirements, General Development Plan Implementation, requires the preparation of a PFFP as a condition of approval of all SPAS. This PFFP satisfies the GDP requirement. The PFFP requires the preparation and approval of phasing schedules showing how and when facilities and improvements necessary to serve proposed development will be installed or financed to meet the threshold standards, including: • An inventory of present and future requirements for each facility based on GMP standards; • A summary of estimated facilities costs; • A facility phasing schedule establishing the timing for installation or provisions of facilities; • A financing plan identifying the method of funding for each facility required; • A fiscal impact report analyzing SPA consistency with the requirements and conclusions of the GDP. General Municipal Code PFFP Provisions Applicable to the SPA Plan 1) Section 19.09.05D Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) provides that no SPA plan or tentative subdivision map shall be approved, or deemed to be approved, without an approved PFFP. Furthermore "No final map shall be approved until all the conditions of the PFFP, the water conservation plan and the air quality plan have been met, or the project applicant has provided adequate security to the city that said plans will be implemented." (CVMC 19.09.05E) 2) No development shall occur in a PFFP area if the demand for any public facilities and services exceeds capacity and it is not feasible to increase capacity prior to completion of development unless means, schedule and financing for increasing the capacity is established through the execution of a binding agreement providing for installation and maintenance of such facilities or improvements in advance of the City's phasing schedule (CVMC 19.09.05H) 3) The Chula Vista Municipal Code provides that, if the City Manager determines facilities or improvements within a PFFP are inadequate to accommodate any further development within that area, the City Manager shall immediately report the deficiency to the City Council. If the City Council determines that such events or changed circumstances City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 1-3 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of City, the City may require amendment, modification, suspension, or termination of an approved PFFP. 4) The PFFP shall be implemented in accordance with CVMC 19.09.090. Future amendments shall be in accordance with CVMC 19.09.100 and shall incorporate newly acquired data, to add conditions and update standards as determined necessary by the City through the required monitoring program. 5) A fiscal analysis/economic impact report shall be provided identifying capital budget impacts on the city as well as maintenance and operation costs for each proposed phase of development. The report shall include an analysis of the project impact on school districts and water agencies as well as the life cycle analysis set forth in subsection (F)(2) of CVMC section 19.090.060. Each year during the development of the project, the director of planning and building may require the applicant to provide the city with an updated fiscal impact report reflecting the actual revenue and expenditure impacts based upon the development of the project. The project shall be conditioned to provide funding for periods where expenditures exceed projected revenues (CVMC Section 19.09.060J) The Fiscal Impact Analysis prepared for the Project is in Section 5 of this PFFP. The FIA identifies periods during the build-out of the Project when negative fiscal impacts will occur. Prior to the first final map for the Project the project applicant shall enter into an agreement to provide funding when expenditures due to the Project exceed projected revenues attributed to the Project in compliance with CVMC 19.09.060 J. PFFP Applicability and Compliance This PFFP applies to all future projects within its boundaries. Future projects will be reviewed for consistency with the SPA Plan, this PFFP and the Village 9 Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Future projects that are determined to be inconsistent with the SPA Plan, PFFP and/or EIR shall require additional environmental review and may require amendments to the SPA Plan and PFFP. The following also apply to the PFFP and the SPA Plan: 1) This PFFP analyzes the maximum allowable development potential for planning purposes only. The approval of this plan does not guarantee specific development densities. 2) The facilities and phasing requirements identified in this PFFP are based on the Village 9 SPA Plan Site Utilization Plan. 3) The plan analysis is based upon the non-sequential and conceptual phasing presented in the Village 9 SPA Plan document. 4) Approval of this PFFP is contingent upon approval of the amendments to the General Plan, the General Development Plan, certification of the associated Supplemental EIR (SEIR 09-01), and the project level Village 9 SPA EIR, by the City Council. 1.2 PUBLIC FACILITY COST AND FEE SUMMARY FOR VILLAGE 9 SPA The following tables identify and summarize the various facility costs and impact fees associated with development of the project. The facilities and their estimated costs are identified in detail in subsequent sections of this document. (NOTE: The costs contained in this PFFP are for illustrative Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 1-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY purposes only and are based upon estimates made at the time of preparation of this PFFP. The developer's obligation to provide such facilities is not based on the estimate of costs of such facilities as indicated herein.) The tables indicate a recommended financing alternative based upon current Chula Vista practices and policies. However, where another financing mechanism may be shown at a later date to be more effective, the City may implement such other mechanisms in accordance with City policies. This will allow the City maximum flexibility in determining the best use of public financing to fund public infrastructure improvements. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS The Traffic Impact Analysis by RBF Consulting, dated March8, 2013, has identified on-site and off- site road improvements that will be required in connection with the development of the project. The estimated costs of major street improvements needed by the Project are identified in Section 4.1 "Traffic", Table 4.1 .7. In the event the developer constructs a Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) improvement, the cost of the improvement may be eligible for credit against payment of TDIF fees. The developer, as a project exaction, shall complete all improvements as required by the Village 9 EIR. Table 4.1.7 lists both off-site and on-site street improvements. TDIF Fees and traffic signal fees generated by the project are identified on Table 1.1 . Funding for street improvements may be accomplished in one or more possible funding alternatives such as: • Construction of improvements by developer with credit toward DIF fees on building permits. • Financing through assessment districts or Community Facility Districts (CFD). • Expenditure of available DIF account funds. • Construction of improvements by other developers. • Federal Funds. WASTEWATER, WATER AND DRAINAGE Certain off-site sewer, drainage and water facilities are the responsibility of the developer if the facility is needed to support the proposed development. SCHOOLS The proposed Village 9 SPA Plan's 4,000 residential units will generate approximately 890 elementary school students. To provide for future elementary school demand in Village 9, two elementary school sites of approximately 20 acres combined are planned within the Project. Final determination for the need for these school sites will be made by Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project's residential units will generate approximately 327 middle school age students and approximately 488 high school students. Currently, Village 9 is within the Olympian High School attendance area; however, enrollment at that school is expected to exceed capacity before Village 9 has begun construction. However, another high school is being planned at the intersection of Hunte Parkway and Eastlake Parkway. The developer shall satisfy its obligations to mitigate the Project's impacts on school facilities as required by state law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA OTHER PUBLIC FACILITIES The Project will trigger development impact fees for libraries, police, fire services, civic center, corporation yard, and other City public facilities. These facilities will be funded, in part, from revenues generated from the payment of Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (PFDIF) at building permit issuance. Altogether, the projected development impact fee revenues (including TDIF, traffic signal fee and the PFDIF) by phase and facility for the Project are identified on Table 1.1.

Table 1.2 specifies the timing and the obligation to provide each facility requirement. Construction of these facilities is timed so that they are in place concurrent with need. Timing is determined by applying the threshold standards of each facility to the need generated for that facility by the development. Along with other facilities Table 1.2 lists only the major TDIF roadway improvements required to be constructed as mitigations for the direct project impacts of either Village 9, or other development projects. See Traffic section 4.1 for the comprehensive list of all local roads necessary for project access. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January,2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 1-7 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA Roadway Improvements "Assumed to be Constructed by Others" The traffic impacts of Village 9 were analyzed under the assumption that certain future road improvements are likely to be constructed and in service because they are required to provide mitigation for the direct traffic impacts of other development projects in the Eastern Territory. These improvements are identified in Table 1.2 as: "assumed to be constructed by others". Since the traffic impact mitigations for Village 9 are predicated on these roadways being in service at specific points in the build-out of Village 9, these road improvements are also an obligation of Village 9. In the event that an assumed roadway is not constructed when specified in Table 1.2 significant impacts would occur and one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer: 1. Development in Village 9 shall not proceed until the assumed future roadway is constructed by others; or 2. City and the applicant shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway. A number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the traffic patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and levels of service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are necessary and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or 3. Applicant shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those improvements as applicable; or 4. An alternative measure is selected by the City in accordance with the City of Chula Vista Growth Management Ordinance. 5.

Developer is also obligated to pay the Traffic Signal Fee with each building permit but will be eligible for a credit against the fee for installation by the developer of signal improvements. For installation of a signal on a intersection of a TDIF road with a Non-TDIF road the developer will be eligible to receive 50% TDIF credit and 50%Traffic Signal credit. 4. Development shall not occur without adequate sewer capacity as determined by the City Engineer. See Sewer section for specific facility requirements per phase. 5. See Water section 4.7.7 for specific facility requirements per phase. 6. Developer shall comply with State law regarding mitigation of impacts to school facilities, including formation of a CFD (Mellos-Roos districts)for school facilities and/or payment and crediting of fees. Compliance with the mitigation requirements shall be demonstrated prior to the approval of each final map.(See School section 4.4.7) 7. Developer may bond and construct the entire bridge or create a funding mechanism prior to the first `A" Map to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.

INTRODUCTION 2.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 OVERVIEW The City of Chula Vista looks comprehensively at the issues dealing with development and the additional impacts it places on public facilities and services. The approval of the Threshold Ordinance and the General Plan update were the first steps in the overall process of addressing growth related issues. The second step in this process was the development and adoption of a specific Growth Management Element, which set the stage for the creation of the City's Growth Management Program. The Chula Vista City Council adopted the Growth Management Program and Implementing Ordinance No. 2448 on May 28, 1991. These documents implement the Growth Management Element of the General Plan, and establish a foundation for carrying out the development policies of the City by directing and coordinating future growth in order to guarantee the timely provision of public facilities and services. The Growth Management Ordinance requires a Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) to be prepared for future development projects requiring a Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan or Tentative Map. The contents of the PFFP are governed by Section 19.09.060 of the Municipal Code, which requires that the plan show how and when the public facilities and services identified in the Growth Management Program will be installed or financed. 2.2 PURPOSE The purpose of all PFFP's in the City of Chula Vista is to implement the City's Growth Management Program and to meet the General Plan goals and objectives, specifically those of the Growth Management Element. The Growth Management Program ensures that development occurs only when the necessary public facilities and services exist or are provided concurrent with the demands of new development. The Growth Management Program requires that a PFFP be prepared for every new development project, which requires either SPA Plan or tentative map approval. Similarly, amendments to a SPA Plan may require an amendment or a supplement to the PFFP. The PFFP is intended to be a dynamic and flexible document. The goal of the PFFP is to assure adequate levels of service are achieved for all public facilities impacted by the project. It is understood that assumed growth projections and related public facility needs are subject to a number of external factors, such as the state of the economy, the City's future land use approval decisions, etc. It is also understood that the funding sources specified herein may change due to financing programs available in the future or requirements of either state or federal law. It is intended that cost estimates contained herein are for illustrative purpose only and it is expected that the actual costs of such improvements will vary over time. These cost changes are not considered revisions to the PFFP and may be handled administratively. 2.3 GROWTH MANAGEMENT THRESHOLD STANDARDS City Council Resolution No. 13346 identified eleven public facilities and services with related threshold standards and implementation measures that shall be monitored under the GMP. These public facilities and services were listed in a policy statement dated November 17, 1987 and have subsequently been refined based on recommendations from the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC). The public facilities, services, and threshold standards that are monitored include: City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 2-1 2. INTRODUCTION OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA • Traffic 0 Water • Police . Sewer • Fire/EMS 0 Drainage • Schools . Air Quality • Libraries 0 Fiscal • Parks and Recreation During development of the Growth Management Program two new facilities were added to the list of facilities to be analyzed in the PFFP: • Civic Facilities • Corporation Yard Threshold standards are used to identify when new or upgraded public facilities are needed to mitigate the impacts of new development. Development approvals will not be made unless compliance with these standards can be met. These threshold standards have been prepared to guarantee that public facilities or infrastructure improvements will keep pace with the demands of growth. A. THE THRESHOLD STANDARDS FALL INTO THREE GENERAL CATEGORIES: 1) A performance standard measuring overall level of service is established for police, fire and emergency medical services, sewers, drainage facilities, and traffic; 2) A ratio of facilities to population is established for park and recreation facilities, and libraries; and 3) A qualitative standard is established for schools, water, air quality, and fiscal impacts. The qualitative standard pertains to some services that are provided by agencies outside of the City -- schools are provided by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater High School District; water service is provided by two independent water districts (Otay Water District and Sweetwater Authority); and sewer service is provided by the City of Chula Vista which has an agreement with the City of San Diego to treat its wastewater. Finally, the air-quality and fiscal threshold standards do not relate to specific public services but are intended to determine whether growth is having an adverse impact on two other measures of quality of life: the air quality within the region and the City's overall fiscal health. B. THE THRESHOLD STANDARDS ARE APPLIED IN THREE WAYS: 1) Many of the standards were used in the development and evaluation of the City's General Plan to ensure that quality-of-life objectives are met at the time of General Plan build-out during a 20-to-25 year period; 2) Certain standards are used in the evaluation of individual development projects to determine the possible impacts of the project and to apply appropriate conditions and requirements in order to mitigate those impacts; and Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 2-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 2. INTRODUCTION 3) All of the standards are monitored by the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) on an annual basis to ensure that the cumulative impacts of new growth do not result in a deterioration of quality of life, as measured by these standards. 2.4 THE PROJECT The Otay Ranch is located in southwestern San Diego County approximately 3.5 miles east of downtown Chula Vista and 13 miles southeast of downtown San Diego. The ranch is grouped geographically into three distinct parcels: the Otay Valley parcel; the San Ysidro Mountains parcel; and the Proctor Valley parcel. The 9,449-acre Otay Valley parcel is the largest parcel and is located within the City of Chula Vista. The remaining parcels are primarily located within the unincorporated area of the county (see Regional Vicinity/Location Map Exhibit 2.1). The Village 9 SPA Plan (Project) area is located at the southerly edge of the Otay Valley Parcel of Otay Ranch. The Project is located east of State Route 125, south of (future) Main Street (Formerly Rock Mountain Road). The Project is surrounded by the Eastern Urban Center (EUC) to the north, the University Site to the east, the Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP) Open Space Preserve area to the south, and Village 8 East to the west. The Project area currently consists of undeveloped land. A SPA Plan for Village 9 dated May, 2013 was submitted by the Project's developer. The SPA Plan land use is described further in Section 3 of this PFFP. 2.5 PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCE PLAN BOUNDARIES Section 19.12.070 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that the City establish the boundaries of the PFFP at the time a SPA Plan or Tentative Map(s) is submitted by the applicant. The boundaries shall be based upon the impact created by the project on the existing and future need for facilities. The project boundaries will correlate the proposed development project with existing and future development proposed for the area of impact to provide for the economically efficient and timely installation of both on-site and off-site facilities and improvements required by the development. In establishing the boundaries for the PFFP, the City shall be guided by the following considerations: 1) Service areas, drainage, sewer basins, and pressure zones that serve the project; 2) Extent to which facilities or improvements are in place or available; 3) Ownership of property; 4) Project impact on public facilities relationships, especially the impact on the City's planned major circulation network; 5) Special district service territories; 6) Approved fire, drainage, sewer, or other facilities or improvement master plans. The PFFP for the project addresses public facilities which are within the SPA Plan boundaries. However, the PFFP also addresses certain facilities (streets, drainage, sewer, police, fire, schools, etc.) that are impacted beyond the boundaries of the SPA Plan.

LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS 3.0 LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS 3.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to quantify how the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan (Project) will be analyzed in relationship to all other projects that are at some stage in the City's development process. The Growth Management Program addresses the issue of development phasing in relationship to location, timing, and fiscal/economic considerations. Based upon the overall elements to be considered when projecting the phasing of development and policies contained in the Growth Management Program, the City was able to forecast where and when development will take place and produced a 5-year Development Phasing Forecast. Subsequent to the approval of the Growth Management Program, the forecasted development phasing has been updated periodically as facility improvements are made and the capacity for new development becomes available.The current update is summarized on Table 3.1. The specific factors, which affect the development-phasing forecast, include the status of development approvals and binding development agreements, and the need to address capacity issues for sewage treatment by the San Diego metropolitan area wastewater treatment system (METRO). These components were reviewed as part of this PFFP in conjunction with the requirement to provide facilities and services concurrent with the demand created by the Project to maintain compliance with the threshold standards. The management of future growth requires coordination of activities of the various City departments as well as with both the Sweetwater Union High School District and the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Otay Municipal Water District that serve the City of Chula Vista. The development phasing forecast is a component of the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Program. The Development Services Department provides annual growth forecasts for two time frames: 18 months and a 5-year period. This information enables City departments and the other aforementioned service agencies to assess the probable impacts that growth may have on maintaining compliance with the City's facilities and service Threshold Standards. In addition, with this data, City departments and the other service agencies will be able to report potential impacts to the GMOC. 3.2 EXISTING DEVELOPMENT As a starting point, the PFFP considers all existing development up to November, 2011 as the base condition. This information is based upon City of Chula Vista Department growth management monitoring data. According to this and other data, the population of the City as of January 1, 2013 is estimated at 251,6131. Project Population For the purposes of projecting facility demands for the Project the Project's residential population is estimated based on the following household occupancy rates: I Total population from: State of California, Department of Finance, E-1 Population Estimates for Cities, Counties, and theState with Annual Percent Change —January 1, 2012 and 2013.

The table presents an estimate of the amount of development activity anticipated to the end of year 2018. The estimated total number of dwelling units that could be permitted for Eastern Chula Vista by December 2018 is approximately 8,757. It should be noted that these projections are estimates and are used for analytical purposes only and unless a development agreement or other legal instrument guarantees facility capacity, some projects with varying levels of entitlement may not have committed capacity.2 TABLE 3.2 -ESTIMATED FIVE-YEAR RESIDENTIAL UNIT GROWTH FORECAST 2014 THROUGH 2018 Approximate Units Projects Forecast of Units Permitted from November 2014 Remaining through December 2018 After 2018 MF SF Total Total Otay Ranch 51423 3,056 8,479 11,822 Eastlake 85 136 221 0 Rolling Hills Ranch 0 15 15 0 Bella Lago 0 42 42 0 Sub-Total 5,508 3,249 8,757 11,822 Eastern Territory 13,770 10,722 24,492 32,629 Western Chula Vista 1,302 56 1,358 7,005 Total Units 6,810 3,305 10,115 18,827 Total Population 17,025 10,907 27,932 51,9632 'Household occupancies:multi-family:2.5 pphh,single family:3.3 pphh,overall:2.76 pphh Z Total population growth of approximately 80,000 is consistent with the SANDAL 2050 Regional Growth projection for the City of Chula Vista:330,400 Source: City of Chula Vista GMOC 2013 Annual Report. 2 A year to year estimate of how many building permits will be issued has been developed for general planning purposes, but should not be relied upon for exactness.

Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 3-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 3. LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS 3.4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY The Project's SPA Plan is designed to reflect new urbanist and traditional town planning principles including the pedestrian and transit-oriented university village concept described in the 2005 Otay Ranch GDP. The proposed land-use of residential, commercial and community uses are designed to provide a mixed-use environment that serves the needs of residents and employees. The SPA plan focuses on promoting a walkable and bikeable community with less emphasis on automobile trips. Main Street and Otay Valley Road are the major east-west access routes in Village 9. Main Street is a 6-lane Gateway that provides access to SR-125 to the west and Eastlake Parkway to the east. Otay Valley Road is a 4-lane Major also provides access to Eastlake Parkway and SR-125. The major north-south streets are Street "A" and Street "B". Street "A" is a 4-lane Town Center Collector that connects to the EUC to the north and ends at Otay Valley Road. Street "A" forms a couplet (two parallel one-way streets) between Street "C" (just south of Main Street) and north of Otay Valley Road. Street "B" is a 4-lane Town Center Street that also connects to the EUC and extends south of Otay Valley Road. A town square park will be located at the north end of the Main Street between the two branches of the couplet. A second town square park will be located north of Main Street adjacent to the EUC. Mixed-use and mixed-use residential, a neighborhood park, two community purpose facility (CPF) sites, and two elementary school sites are located north of Otay Valley Road. Single family housing, pedestrian parks and open space parcels are planned south of Otay Valley Road. The circulation system will provide for pedestrians, local bus and rapid bus transit connections. This system will provide efficient access throughout the Village and to the ultimate bus rapid transit line serving this region (see Exhibit 3.1). Pursuant to the Village 9 SPA, the Project will contain: 4,000 residential dwelling units; 1,200,000 square feet of office space; • 300,000 square feet of commercial/retail; 22.9 net acres of park; • 9.6 acres of open space; • 5 acres of community purpose facilities. 2 Elementary School Sites; A Transit Center The Project's Site Utilization Plan (Exhibit 3.1) shows the location of the Project amenities. All the land is under the single ownership of the Otay Land Company. The Site Utilization and Conceptual Phasing Summary on Table 3.2, shows the following maximum components proposed within the Project: 3,734 multi-family and 266 single family residential units, 1,500,000 square feet of office/commercial retail and other supporting land uses within planning areas identified by letters on the table. The discretionary phase of the Project requires the adoption of a SPA Plan, Environmental Impact Report and Tentative Map. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 3-3 3. LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA This PFFP and in the particular the SPA Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) in Chapter 5 is based on the land uses described in the SPA Site Utilization Plan and the phasing summary in Table 3.2. If the Project were to develop with less than the overall indicated floor area of commercial/retail, the developer will be required to revise this PFFP, and the FIA, to identify other revenues streams that would replace the lost City revenues associated with those land uses and demonstrate that the Project is fiscally sustainable with the reduced commercial/retail development. Intensity Transfer The Project's development pattern and interior circulation arrangement is illustrated on the Project's Site Utilization Plan and the Conceptual Phasing Plan (Exhibit 3.2). The Site Utilization Plan is intended to provide the general design intent of the Project; however the SPA recognizes the need for flexibility in planning to accommodate future development constraints and market demands. That flexibility is provided through an "intensity transfer", which is an administrative process, conducted by the Zoning Administrator to ensure that the Project does not exceed the maximum levels of intensity. Unless a proposed project is exactly consistent with the target intensity shown for that planning area on the Site Utilization Plan, an intensity transfer is required. Any transfer of intensity between planning areas within the same land use is permitted provided said transfer is consistent with the SPA Plan, the circulation system, and the technical studies of the associated EIR as related to infrastructure; the overall target intensity of 4,000 residential units and 1,500,000 square feet of non-residential floor area is not exceeded; and a combined total of 500,000 square feet (or 330) of the non-residential floor area is maintained in the remaining planning areas found in that land use. Any other type of transfer shall require a SPA Amendment. The Zoning Administrator shall approve or deny the proposed intensity transfer subject to the following findings and conditions: a) The resulting density of both the granting and receiving planning areas shall be consistent with the density ranges specified for each area. b) The overall SPA intensities shall not be exceeded. c) The Neighborhood Builder has received a letter of recommendation for approval, modification, or denial of the intensity transfer from the Master Developer. d) The planned identity of Village 9 SPA is preserved including the creation of pedestrian friendly and transit oriented development e) The Neighborhood Builder has provided supporting technical studies, if necessary, to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator, that substantiate adequate infrastructure exists to support the intensity transfer. f) Public facilities and infrastructure including schools and parks shall be provided based on the final number of units and the applicant shall agree to pay any additional fees resulting from said transfer. Preserve conveyance obligation shall be based upon the final map development area. g) The overall target intensity of 4,000 residential units and 1,500,000 square feet of nonresidential floor area is not exceeded; and a combined total of 100,000 square feet of retail commercial is maintained within Village 9. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 3-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 3. LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS Community Purpose Facility If a shift of Community Purpose Facility (CPF) sites or square footage/acreage between planning areas occurs, a SPA Amendment shall be required. The total square footage/acreage for Community Purpose Facility sites shall meet the Village 9 SPA Community Purpose Facility obligation. School Sites Transfers of intensity to unused school sites, if the site is not accepted by the school district, shall be as follows: • Parcel G shall revert to "Mixed Use (MU) - 10-45 du/ac" site utilization. • Parcel W shall revert to "Mixed Use (MU)- 10-27 du/ac" site utilization. Transfers between Villages Unused intensity may be transferred between Villages as permitted by City Council pursuant to the expressed terms set forth by agreement, ordinance, or such other manner approved by City Council. No transfer shall exceed the maximum number of units shown on an approved Tentative Map without a revised Tentative Map approved by the City Council. Table 3.2 reflects the maximum target for residential units and commercial/retail floor area in the Project. The mixed-use nature of the Project makes it difficult to categorize those uses by acreage since a single building (on a single parcel) may include different uses at different levels (e.g., commercial at street level and office or residential uses on upper levels). Because of the difficulty in assigning a building site to a unique use category, the Project's SPA Plan emphasizes the appropriate character and mix of uses for consistency with the Otay Ranch GDP rather than acreage statistics. Consistent with the note to the GDP Land Use Table, non-residential uses are quantified in terms of square feet of building floor area in-lieu of site acreage. Correspondingly, residential use is quantified in terms of number of dwelling units instead of acreage. These statistics will allow for the proper accounting of development intensity within the Project regardless of location within mixed-use structures. 3.5 DEVELOPMENT PHASING The Project developer has proposed five non-sequential phases illustrated by the Conceptual Phasing Plan Exhibit 3.2 with units and acreages listed in the corresponding Table 3.3 below. Each phase consists of one or more planning areas). The development of the Project will proceed in phases according to the anticipated market demand for development within the Project.

FACILITY ANALYSIS 4.0 FACILITY ANALYSIS 4.01 OVERVIEW This portion of the Village 9 PFFP contains 13 separate subsections for each facility addressed by this report. Of the 13 facilities, 11 have adopted threshold standards; the Civic Center and Corporation Yard do not. Table 4.1 highlights the level of analysis for each facility. TABLE 4.1 —LEVEL OF ANALYSIS Facility Citywide East of 1-805 Service Area Sub-basin Special District Traffic X X Police X Fire/EMS X X Schools X Libraries X Parks, Recreation &OS X Water X X Sewer X Drainage X Air Quality X Civic Center X Corp. Yard X Fiscal X X Each subsection analyzes the impact of Village 9 project based upon the adopted Quality of Life Standards. The analysis is based upon the specific goal, objective, threshold standard and implementation measures. The proposed Village 9 SPA Plan is used to determine facility adequacy and is referenced within the facility section. Each analysis is based upon the specific project processing requirements for that facility, as adopted in the Growth Management Program. These indicate the requirements for evaluating the project consistency with the threshold ordinance at various stages (General Development Plan, SPA Plan/Public Facilities Finance Plan, Tentative Map, Final Map and Building Permit) in the development review process. A service analysis section is included which identifies the service provided by each facility. The existing plus forecasted demands for the specific facility are identified in the subsection based upon the adopted threshold standard.

FACILITY ANALYSIS OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA Each facility subsection contains an adequacy analysis followed by a detailed discussion indicating how the facility is to be financed. The adequacy analysis provides a determination of whether or not the threshold standard is being met and the finance section provides a determination if funds are available to guarantee the improvement.

There are no GMOC standards for local residential streets. A. Arterial segment LOS measurements shall be for the average weekday peak hours, excluding seasonal and special circumstance variations. B. Urban and suburban arterials are defined as surface highways having signal spacing of less than two miles with average weekday traffic volumes greater than 10,000 vehicles per day. C. Arterial segments are stratified into three classifications: i. Class I arterials are roadways where free-flow traffic speeds range between 35 mph and 45 mph and the number of signalized intersections per mile is less than four. There is no parking and there is generally no access to abutting property. ii. Class II arterials are roadways where free-flow traffic speeds range between 30 mph and 35 mph, and the number of signalized intersections per mile ranges between four and eight. There is some parking and access to abutting properties is limited. iii. Class III arterials are roadways where free-flow traffic speeds range between 25 mph and 35 mph, and the number of signalized intersections per mile is closely spaced. There is substantial parking and access to abutting property is unrestricted. D. The LOS measurement of arterial segments and freeway ramps shall be a growth management consideration in situations where proposed developments have a significant impact at interchanges. E. Circulation improvements should be implemented prior to the anticipated deterioration of LOS below established standards. F. The criteria for calculating arterial LOS and defining arterial lengths and classifications shall follow the procedures detailed in Chapter 11 of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and shall be confirmed by the City Traffic Engineer. G. During the conduct of future traffic monitoring program field surveys, intersections experiencing significant delays will be identified. The information generated by the field surveys will be used to determine possible signal timing changes and geometric and/or traffic operational improvements for the purpose of reducing intersection delay.

Identify on-site and off-site impacts and improvements by phase of Project development; and. b. Provide cost estimates for improvements. 4.1.3 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY A. VILLAGE 9 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (TIA) In conformance with requirements of the Congestion Management Program (CMP), an analysis of CMP freeways and arterials is required for any project that generates 2,400 daily or 200 peak hour trips (As detailed in the 1991 Congestion Management Program). This analysis: Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIA) for Otay Ranch Village 9, (Project), March 8, 2013 by RBF Consulting was prepared for the City of Chula Vista. The TIA is the basis of the Traffic Section of this PFFP and addresses both the existing and planned circulation system and land use conditions assumed for the years 2020, 2025 and 2030. The TIA also recommends traffic impact mitigation measures and outlines the incremental circulation improvements based upon planned Project phasing and land development estimated to occur in the TIA study area. Further, the TIA also includes an evaluation of the proposed transit routes within Otay Ranch Village 9. The TIA study area is generally bounded by Olympic Parkway to the north, Hunte Parkway to the east, Main Street and/or Otay Valley Road to the south and Interstate 805 (I-805) to the West (see Exhibit 4.1.1). All signalized intersections, freeway interchanges and arterial segments within this area were analyzed under various scenarios by RBF Consulting. (see TIA for scenario details).

In collaboration with City of Chula Vista staff and SANDAG, RBF Consulting provided input regarding the land use and network assumptions for each scenario year used in each model run produced by SANDAG, for each study year beginning in 2020. To determine the existing traffic volumes at the study intersections, intersection movement counts were taken on a typical weekday during the a.m. (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and p.m. (4:00 to 6:00 p.m.) peak periods. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were also collected along most roadway segments over a 24-hour period. Traffic count data provided by the City of Chula Vista from previous traffic studies were used if available. The Project TIA analyzed the Project's impacts at five-year increments up to Project build-out at year 2030 according to the phasing presented in Table 4.1.2. The CEQA -level project analysis uses the following threshold of significance criteria: A. Intersections 1. Project specific impact if both the following criteria are met: (a) Level of service is LOS E or LOS F. (b) Project trips comprise 5% or more of entering volume. 2. Cumulative impact if only (a) above is met. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.1-3 4.1 TRAFFIC OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA B. Street Segments Use the planning analysis using the volume to capacity ratio methodology only. 1. Project direct impact if all three of the following criteria are met: (a) Level of service is LOS D, LOS E, or LOS F; (b) Project trips comprise 5%or more of total segment volume; and (c) Project adds greater than 800 ADT to the segment. 2. Cumulative impact if only a) above is met. However, if the intersections along a LOS D or LOS E segment all operate at LOS D or better, the segment impact is considered not significant since intersection analysis is more indicative of actual roadway system operations than street segment analysis. If segment Level of Service is LOS F, impact is significant regardless of intersection LOS. B. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ASSUMPTIONS Throughout the TIA, assumptions are made regarding both land development and the constructed road network within the study area. The assumptions for the constructed road network arise in three ways: 1. Road improvements are required for Project access and frontage requirements. The City of Chula Vista Subdivision Ordinance specifies that all land development must construct adjacent roadway and intersection improvements as a project exaction. The Subdivision Ordinance also specifies the maximum number of units that may take access from a local street without additional connections to collector or circulation element roadways. Therefore, the completion of identified major roads and adjacent intersection improvements within the Project are necessary for the Project's compliance with the Subdivision Ordinance; the TIA assumes the Project will comply with all City policies and standards; or, 2. Improvements are recommended as a direct Project impact mitigation measure in a previous study year and become part of the "Mitigated Road Network" of a given study year; or, 3. Certain circulation element roadways are assumed to be constructed by others as either access or frontage improvements, or are the direct impact mitigation measures for other projects in the study area. The TIA makes realistic assumptions regarding the future improvements to the roadway network that are needed to serve the projected development in the study area. The rationale for assuming that these roads will be constructed by others (not the Project applicant) is reasonable given that all new development must comply with the City's GMOC policy that requires the construction of major infrastructure in conjunction with the need generated by new development. If, however, future land development in the study area does not follow the phasing as assumed by the Project TIA and the assumed roads are not constructed and open for traffic by specified building permit thresholds, the GMOC requirements and mitigation requirements for this Project provide a mechanism whereby development of the Project will cease until either the assumed roads are constructed, or alternative measures are approved. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.1-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.1 TRAFFIC There are six circulation element road improvements and two local improvements that were assumed in the Project TIA that fall under one or more of the three assumptions described above: • La Media Road is assumed to be extended south from its current terminus to Main Street in Village 8 West; • Construction of Heritage Road (from Olympic Parkway to Main Street); re-stripe southbound Heritage Road to include dual left turn lanes, three through lanes and one right turn lane; • Widening of Heritage Road from Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas from a Class II Collector to a six lane Prime; • Construction of Main Street from Heritage Road to La Media Road; • Construction of Main Street between La Media Road and Magdalena Avenue; • Otay Valley Road between Street "A" in Village 9 to the University Site. • Construction of Santa Victoria Road from Heritage Road to La Media Road (a local road constructed by Village 2 as project access) • Construction of "Village Path" pedestrian/bicycle bridge over SR-125 to provide non-motorized access between Village 9 and Village 8 East (constructed by City or developer) See the Project TIA for a complete discussion of the above. The mechanism to assure that the Project does not proceed without the assumed road improvements are as follows: 1. Development in the Project will stop until those assumed future roadways are constructed by others; or 2. City and the applicant shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments; or 3. Applicant shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those improvements as applicable; or 4. An alternative measure is selected by the city in accordance with the City of Chula Vista Growth Management Ordinance. 5. All measures selected shall be to the satisfaction of the City Engineer City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.1-5 4.1 TRAFFIC OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.1.4 VILLAGE 9 SPA TRIP GENERATION AND PHASING The following section describes the proposed Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Project including the estimated project trip generation, distribution, and assignment for the traffic impact analysis years: 2020, 2025 and 2030. A. PROJECT TRIP GENERATION The vision for Village 9 is to develop as a cohesive community with inter-connected land uses including a range of residential land use densities. The Project's land-use plan is designed to provide a complementary, mixed-use environment with a focus on promoting a walkable and bikeable community. As a result, vehicular trip reductions were applied to the TIA to account for walking, biking as well as transit trips. The TIA assumed that a number of trips will travel between the different land uses within the Project, and will not utilize the surrounding arterial roadway network. As a result, these trips, totaling 11,606 at build-out, are considered internal to the Project and are not counted in the Project's traffic impact analysis. The proposed alignment of the South Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) goes through the Project along "B" Street and Otay Valley Road. Other transit routes are planned along Main Street. Because of the access to transit within the Project, a transit trip credit of 15 percent was applied to the residential and office land uses. As a result, the total transit trip capture credit for the project at build-out resulted in a reduction of 8,059 ADT, including 750 a.m. peak-hour trips (417 in, 333 out) and 833 p.m. peak-hour trips (398 in, 435 out). The Project is planned to be built in phases. The TIA, upon which this section of the PFFP is based, utilized the land uses shown in Table 4.1.2. Table 4.1.2 shows the net new trip generation for Otay Ranch Village 9 project (proposed minus internal and transit reductions). As shown in the table, the net trip generation of the proposed project at build-out of the Project would total 34,067 ADT, including 3,784 a.m. peak-hour trips (2,130 in, 1,655 out) and 3,509 p.m. peak-hour trips (1,649 in, 1,859 out). B. PROJECT PHASING The development of Otay Ranch Village 9 will occur in phases and will not be fully constructed for many years. Therefore the TIA includes an evaluation of intermediate years: 2020, 2025 and 2030. The phasing and trip generation assumptions of the TIA are reflected in Table 4.1.2. Approximately 26 percent of the project is assumed to be built by 2020, 81 percent of the Project is assumed to be built by 2025, and full build-out of the Project assumed by 2030. As shown in Table 4.1.2, the Project generates a total of 14,018 ADT (gross) by Year 2020, an additional of 29,726 ADT for a total of 43,744 ADT, by Year 2025, and an additional 9,988 ADT resulting in 53,732 gross ADT through build-out (Year 2030). The Project is estimated to generate a net total of 13,124 ADT through Year 2020. The Project impact in terms of single family dwelling unit equivalence, or equivalent dwelling units ("EDUs") equates to 1,312 EDUs through Year 2020, 30,737ADT (3,074 EDUs) through Year 2025, and 34,067 ADT (net cumulative) (3,407 EDUS) at build-out (Year 2030)--see TIA).

MAJOR ROADWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS The findings of the TIA show that GMOC thresholds will be met with the implementation of the following recommended mitigation measures for intersections and roadway segments, reducing the identified impacts to less than significant. The recommended mitigation measures of the TIA for each analysis year: Existing Conditions with Project, 2020, 2025 and 2030 and the corresponding Project equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) thresholds for each mitigation measure are set forth in the identified tables and exhibits found in the Project TIA. 1. Existing Conditions plus Project Trips The Existing Conditions plus Project Trips represent the traffic conditions of the existing street network with the addition of Project trips at ultimate build-out (see TIA Tables 9 and 10 for the existing plus Project intersection and roadway LOS summary). This scenario represents a "snap- shot" in time and does not account for changes in traffic volumes and roadway infrastructure un-related to the Project which would occur over the long term build-out of the Project. This scenario also does not reflect the fact that the Project is a phased project and is intended to be built-out over a period of 10 years. The specific geometrics of the intersections and roadway segments in the study area as they currently exist are presented in TIA Exhibits 5A and 7. Existing Conditions plus Project Trips Impacts and Mitigation Measures The results of the traffic impact analysis for the Existing Conditions plus Project show that six intersections are forecast to operate at deficient LOS under these conditions. For each of the impacted intersections, listed below, the Project trips added to the intersections exceed the City of Chula Vista's threshold of significance. Therefore, these intersections are forecast to result in direct project impacts. • Olympic Parkway/805 Northbound Ramps • Olympic Parkway/Brandywine Avenue • Olympic Parkway/La Media Road • Birch Road / La Media Road • Birch Road / Eastlake Parkway • Main Street /Eastlake Parkway Five roadway segments are forecast to operate at deficient LOS under Existing Conditions plus Project conditions. The Project trips added to the deficient segments listed below exceed the City of Chula Vista's threshold of significance. Therefore, all five segments are forecast to be directly impacted by the project: • Olympic Parkway: - from I-805 to Brandywine Avenue; City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.1-8 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.1 TRAFFIC - from Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Road; and, - from Heritage Road to La Media Road. • Magdalena Ave from Birch Road to Main Street; • Eastlake Parkway from Birch Road to Hunte Parkway-Main Street. The improvements identified for the Project's 2020, 2025 and 2030 development scenarios, as listed in Project TIA Recommended Mitigation Measures Tables 25, 26 and 27, and summarized below, would mitigate these direct impacts. The Project, however, is planned to be constructed in a series of phases over a period of nearly 20 years. This phasing would not require construction of all the improvements at once, but rather such improvements will be constructed as is needed to mitigate impacts of the phased development; all as described in the Project TIA. 2. 2020 Conditions The 2020 Conditions includes analysis of land uses and traffic associated with development expected to occur by that year. The 2020 Conditions includes Project-generated trips associated with the construction of 114 single family and 1,634 multi-family residential dwelling units, 250,000 square feet of office space and 14.8 acres of park space. 2020 Assumed Improvements and Mitigation Measures The following improvements are required for Project access and subdivision frontage per Table 14 of the TIA. Therefore, prior to the first final map containing the 1 st EDU of the Project, the applicant shall have constructed the following Project access and frontage improvements: Project Access and Frontage Improvement(prior to the first final map containing the 1st EDU): • Main Street: Construct from Street "A" to Eastlake Parkway as 6-lane Gateway; • Street "A" : Construct from Main Street to Street "C" as a 4-lane road, and from Street "C" to Otay Valley Road as 2-lane, 2-way road; • Intersection of Main Street /Street "A: Install traffic signal; • Otay Valley Road: Construct from Street "I" to Street "A" as a 4-lane Major; • Street "I": Construct south of Otay Valley Road as a 2-lane road. The locations of Streets "A", "B", "C" and "I" may be found on Exhibit 4.1 .2. Roadways Assumed to be Built by Others (by Project's 1st EDU) The TIA assumes the following improvements would be constructed by others prior to 2020: • La Media Road is assumed to extend south from its current terminus to Main Street in Village 8 West. The Year 2020 scenario also assumes that the following circulation system improvements would be constructed by Year 2020: • Main Street/La Media Road intersection; City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.1-9 4.1 TRAFFIC OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA • Main Street/Magdalena Avenue intersection; • La Media Road from Birch Road to Main Street; and • Otay Valley Road from Village 9 Street A to the University Site The above improvements are required to be constructed prior to the construction of the l It EDU of the Project. No Project development may occur until the improvements are in place. If the roadways are not constructed and open to traffic prior to the approval of the final map containing the l It EDU for the Project, then a significant traffic impact will occur and one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer: 1. Development in Village 9 shall not proceed until the assumed future roadway is constructed by others; or 2. City and the applicant shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway. A number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the traffic patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and levels of service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are necessary and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or 3. Applicant shall construct the missing roadway links and receive TDIF credit for those improvements as applicable; or 4. An alternative measure is selected by the City in accordance with the City of Chula Vista Growth Management Ordinance. 5. All to the satisfaction of the City Engineer The TIA finds that there are no direct project impacts under the 2020 Conditions. The developer shall construct or enter into an agreement to construct and secure, in accordance with Section 18.16.220 of the Municipal Code, the required street improvements, including traffic signals, prior to approval of the applicable final map that contains the cumulative EDU trigger indicated above. The Project will contribute to its fair share through payment of the TDIF for mitigation of the following cumulative impacts identified in Table 14 of the TIA: • Olympic Parkway/I-805 northbound ramps (intersection) • Olympic Parkway/Brandywine Ave. (intersection) • Olympic Parkway: I-805 northbound ramps to Brandywine Avenue • Olympic Parkway: Brandywine Avenue to Heritage Rd. • Olympic Parkway: Heritage Rd. to La Media Rd. • Heritage Road: Main Street to Avenida de las Vistas 3. 2025 Conditions The 2025 Conditions include analysis of anticipated land uses and traffic associated with land development expected to occur by 2025.

No additional development may occur until the roadway mitigations (as described in the TIA) are in place. If the Project equivalent dwelling unit count for 2025 is reached (1,312t" EDU as shown in TIA Table 18) prior to the completion of all of the above-listed assumed and planned off-site improvements being constructed and open to traffic, then a significant traffic impact will occur and one of the following steps shall be taken as determined by the City Engineer: 1. Development in Village 9 will stop until those assumed future roadways are constructed by others; or 2. City and the applicant shall meet to determine the need for the incomplete roadway segments. A number of factors, including changes to the tolling structure at SR-125, may affect the traffic patterns in the Otay Ranch. Additional traffic analysis of the roadway network and levels of service assessment may be necessary to determine if such improvements are necessary and the scope and timing of additional circulation improvements; or 3.

Therefore, the interim year construction of boundary intersections and internal roads is not fully certain at this time. The City recommends that boundary intersections be constructed to their full proposed build-out geometry (curb-to-curb) when the connecting internal links are constructed. Future assessment may be required to determine when these connections need to be made, and the boundary intersections constructed, based on the Project's development pattern or as directed by the City Engineer. Due to the uncertainties with the timing and location of the development in each respective phase, the City Engineer will determine if and when additional studies may be needed to update the assumptions and validate the PFFP triggers. In addition, the City Engineer may amend the PFFP triggers at his/her discretion unless stated otherwise in a development agreement. The developer shall construct or enter into an agreement to construct and secure, in accordance with Section 18.16.220 of the Municipal Code, the required street improvements, including traffic signals, prior to approval of the applicable final map that contains the cumulative EDU trigger. C. TRANSIT FACILITIES The Project will be served by a local bus system and the regional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The BRT is proposed to operate through the Village along dedicated transit lanes located within Street "B" and Otay Valley Road as shown in TIA Exhibit 39. A BRT transit center is proposed at the intersection of Street "B" and Campus Boulevard. The BRT will have traffic signal priority at all intersections. Construction of the transit lanes and transit center is the responsibility of the Project developer and will be completed with the improvements to Street "B" and Otay Valley Road as indicated in Tables 4.1.3 and 4.1.4. D. THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS 1. Threshold compliance will continue to be monitored through the annual Transportation Monitoring Program of the GMOC. 2. The project shall be conditioned to pay Transportation Impact Fees and Traffic Signal Fees at the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued. 3. The project shall be conditioned to complete or secure the completion of the transportation facilities (street segments and signalized intersections) according to the thresholds as described in Table 4.1 .3 and the internal streets as described in Table 4.1 .4 and shown on Exhibit 4.1 .2, all to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Notwithstanding any threshold requirement stated above, the following general Project requirements shall apply: 1. The Developer shall dedicate the Bus Rapid Transit Right-of-Way and construct BRT lanes within Project and dedicated ROW. Developer shall provide approved bus shelters designs with street improvement plans, or alternatively, provide the City with $20,000 per shelter. 2. Developer shall acquire and dedicate SR-125 Right-of-Way for interchanges, if any. 3. Developer to build all roads surrounding school sites and park sites.

FREEWAY SEGMENTS BASIC FREEWAY SEGMENT ANALYSIS Segments of northbound and southbound 1 805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and Main Street shown on Table 4.1.5 were analyzed under 2030 Without and With Project conditions using the 2000 HCS Basic Freeway Segment analysis methodology. Mainline segment volumes are based on SANDAG forecast 2030 ADT. A 4 percent heavy truck factor was applied and a measured free-flow speed of 65 mph was used in the HCS calculations for multi-lane segments. TABLE 4.1.5--FREEWAY SEGMENTS Interstate 805 Main Street to Olympic Parkway Olympic Parkway to Telegraph Canyon Road The results of this analysis are reported on TIA Table 23. The analysis indicates that both 1-805 northbound segments between Main Street and Telegraph Canyon Road, are forecasted to operate at LOS E during the PM Peak Hour under both with and without project conditions. The northbound segments both operate at LOS C during the AM peak period in the without-project condition and moves to LOS D in the with-project conditions. The southbound 1-805 segments operate at LOS D in both AM and PM peak periods and under both with and without project conditions. According to City of Chula Vista Traffic Study Guidelines, a significant project impact is identified if a project adds 1 mph speed delay or greater to a segment operating at LOS D, E or F. The results of the 2030 With Project mainline segment analysis demonstrate a change in delay of less than 1 mph for each study segment. Therefore, no direct impacts are identified. The TIA did not analyze freeway segments under the existing with project, the 2020, or the 2025 Conditions. Freeway mainline segment analysis was conducted for northbound and southbound 1-805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and Main Street under 2030 Conditions. The Project would not have a direct impact on these segments under 2030 Conditions. Therefore the TIA did not recommend mitigation measures. Caltrans Intersection Lane Volume (ILV) Analysis The TIA conducted an ILV analysis for both 2030 Conditions with and without the Project. Table 4.1.6 summarizes the results of the analysis. There are no significance thresholds associated with Project impacts on the freeway intersections, therefore recommended mitigations were not provided.

B. TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (TDIF) The Project is within the boundaries of the TDIF program and, as such, the Project is subject to the payment of the fees at the rates in effect at the time building permits are issued. However, the improvements identified on Table 4.1.7 are required to be constructed or bonded pursuant to the identified thresholds. A requirement to construct the facilities cannot be satisfied by paying the TDIF. The developer's total fee obligation is based on the TDIF rates in effect at the time of issuance of building permits. Eligible construction costs in excess of the TDIF obligation may be credited against the developer's future TDIF obligations pursuant to an audit. Table 4.1.8 below presents the current TDIF fee schedule.

Proposed Revised Threshold Standard As part of the Growth Management Oversight Committee's "Top-to-Bottom" review the above adopted threshold standards for emergency and urgent response are being reconsidered. Modified thresholds standards have been presented to the GMOC and will be brought to the City Council for approval in later this year. Further discussion on the modified thresholds is included below in Section 4.2.5. 4.2.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS The City of Chula Vista Police Department provides police services. The purpose of the Threshold Standard is to maintain or improve the current level of police services throughout the City by ensuring that adequate levels of staff and equipment are provided. Police threshold performance was analyzed in the "Report on Police Threshold Performance 1990-1999", completed April 13, 2000. In response to Police Department and GMOC concerns the City Council amended the threshold standards for Police Emergency Response on May 28, 2002, with adoption of Ordinance 2860. Police Facilities are also addressed in A Master Plan for the Chula Vista Civic Center Solving City Space Needs Through Year 2010, dated May 8, 1989. 4.2.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The PFFP is required by the Growth Management Program to address the following issues for Police Services. • Services reviewed must be consistent with the proposed phasing of the project. • Able to demonstrate conformance with A Master Plan for the Chula Vista Civic Center dated May 8, 1989, as amended unless stated otherwise in a development agreement. 4.2.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) provides law enforcement services to the area encompassing the project. The CVPD is located in its headquarters building at the corner 4t" Avenue and F Street in Chula Vista. This new facility is expected to be adequate through the build-out of Chula Vista. The Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Project (the "Project") is within Police Patrol Beat 32 that is served by at least one beat officer per shift. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.2-1 4.2 POLICE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA POLICE FACILITY INVENTORY • Police Headquarters at 4th Avenue and F Street. 4.2.5 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS According to the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC) April 25, 2013 Annual Report the response thresholds for "Priority One" Calls for Service (CFS) were not met during the threshold review period 7/1/11 to 6/30/12 (see Table 4.2.1) for the first time since 2004-05. The department fell short of the "Priority One" calls for service in 2.60 of the calls which were not responded to within 7:00 minutes. The thresholds for "Priority Two" calls for service during the same period were also not met. The Priority Two thresholds have not been met for 15 consecutive years (see Table 4.2.2). According to the GMOC report, police response time is just one measure of how these services are keeping pace with growth. The city has implemented measures to improve police response times. These measures range from better education and communication within the Police Department regarding the GMOC threshold standards, as well as utilization of technological advances. Two measures that do relate to the ability of the Police Department to maintain the quality of life and are growth related are maintaining adequate staffing and reducing false alarms. As the table below indicates, until the current threshold review period, the Police Department had made progress in reducing Priority One response times from a low of 80% in FY 2004-05. Although the Police Department has engaged in several initiatives to extend the reduction in response times, they reported to the GMOC that the drop below the threshold is due to chronic low staffing in the Community Patrol Division.

Furthermore, the average response time increased by nearly 2 minutes over the previous year, and the gap between the percentages of calls responded to within 7 minutes and the threshold increased to its widest margin since 2005-06. The Police Department attributes the increase in Priority Two response times also to low staffing in the patrol division. The Police Department asserts that adequate staffing levels are crucial to meeting the existing Priority Two threshold standard. While additional staff is needed, the department does not anticipate having the necessary resources available for more staff in the near future due to the City's ongoing budget challenges. Although this is a potential area of concern for the associated Village 9 Fiscal Impact Analysis (See Sec 5), this PFFP addresses facility threshold issues not Police Department operations. As such, the cumulative mitigation measure for the Project's impacts on police facilities is payment of the Public Facility Development Impact Fee (PFDIF see Sec. 4.2.6). Pursuant to State law the proceeds of the PFDIF may not be used for staffing or operations. The fee revenues may, however, be applied to capital improvements that serve to enhance operations and enable efficiencies that might mitigate staffing shortfalls to some extent.

The proposed modifications involve the following changes in calculating and reporting response times: • Calculating response time from the time the call was received in the Communications Center to the time that the first unit arrived on scene, or the "received-to-arrive" time; • Elimination of the normalization adjustments of response times for CFS from the Eastern Territory,which was used to account for geographic and land-use conditions that tend to extend response times relative to times in the older areas of the City; • Include false burglary alarms calls for service in Priority Two calculation; • The average response time threshold for Priority One calls for service would be increased to 6:00minutes; • The average response time threshold for Priority Two call for service would be increased to 12:00 minutes. The response time tables below, from GMOC 2012 Report Appendix B, summarize the CFS data based on the proposed criteria outlined above. The above criteria correspond to those commonly used by other police agencies in San Diego County.

The proposed threshold standards will be taken to the City Council later this year. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.2-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.2 POLICE To further address CFS response time and other police level of service issues the Department retained the Matrix Consulting Group in February, 2012 to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the Department's staffing, workload and best practices. A Phase One report that focuses on operational and staffing issues of the Community Patrol division was completed in April, 2012; the Department is implementing the recommendations contained in the Phase One report. A first draft report of Phase Two of the study was submitted in October, 2012, it covers the Department's other divisions. One of the study's general findings is that the Department should avoid an over-emphasis on CFS response times. CFS response is strictly a measure of the Department's ability to react whereas the Department should instead focus on increasing "proactive" patrol time in the community through appropriate changes in staffing and operational practices. The Police Department indicated in the 2012 GMOC Report that its current facilities, equipment and staff are not able to accommodate citywide forecasted growth and meet the threshold standards for the next 12 to 18 months. The Department cited the elimination of the vehicle replacement fund as a factor that would impact the Department's ability to fund other police programs. One-time funding was used to replace aging patrol vehicles and will be unavailable in the future. The Department also indicated a lack of funding for needed upgrades to its computer-aided dispatch system and an inability to fund in-car video cameras and replacements for its mobile data computing system. Currently, the Department finds that it must divert funds from policing services in order to maintain its equipment. While operational and staffing costs are not eligible uses of development impact fee revenue, capital investments in equipment, vehicles and technology are. The cost of these mission-critical elements should be fully evaluated in a future update of the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF). Finally, the 2012 GMOC Report also recommends the reevaluation of a permanent Eastern Satellite Station (a police storefront was recently opened in the Otay Town Centre shopping center; however funding for the storefront is assured for only a few years). A permanent police facility in the Eastern Territory was first evaluated in 2005. There is currently no available funding source for such a facility and would require a major update to the PFDIF in order to include the facility in the impact fee program. 4.2.6 FINANCING POLICE FACILITIES The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) was updated and revised by the Chula Vista City Council on September 24, 2012 and June 28, 2013. The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is adjusted approximately every October l It pursuant to Ordinance 3050. The Police Public Facilities DIF Fee is shown in Table 4.2.3, below. This amount is subject to change as it is amended from time to time. The Project will be subject to the payment of the fee at the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued. At the current fee rate, the project Police Fee obligation at build-out is $7,259,925. The final PFDIF obligation will be subject to the rates in effect at the time building permits are issued.

The Department is in compliance with "Priority One" thresholds for this period. The thresholds for "Priority Two" during the same period were not met. However, response times to "Priority Two" alone are not the only indicator of the capacity of the Police Department to provide adequate services. Notwithstanding the Department's effort to reduce response times and increase proactive patrol time, the Project applicants and the Department shall comply with the following requirements: 1) Prior to the approval of each building permit unless stated otherwise in a development agreement, the Applicant(s) shall pay Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (PFDIF) for police facilities at the rate in effect the time building permits are issued. 2) The City will continue to monitor police responses to calls for service in both the Emergency (priority one) and Urgent (priority two) categories and report the results to the GMOC on an annual basis. 3) Prior to approval of each design review permit, site plans shall be reviewed by the CVPD (or their designee) to ensure the incorporation of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) features and other recommendations of the CVPD, including, but not limited to, controlled access points to parking lots and buildings; maximizing the visibility along building fronts, sidewalks, paseos and public parks; and providing adequate street, parking lot, and parking structure lighting.

EMS is provided on a contract basis by American Medical Response (AMR). The City also has countywide mutual and automatic aid agreements with surrounding agencies, should the need arise for their assistance. The purpose of the Threshold Standard and the monitoring of response times are to maintain and improve the current level of fire protection and EMS in the City. Fire/EMS facilities are provided for in the 1997 Fire Station Master Plan, as amended unless stated otherwise in a development agreement. The Fire Station Master Plan indicates that the number and location of fire stations primarily determine response time. The 1997 Fire Station Master Plan evaluates the planning area's fire coverage needs, and recommends a nine (9) station network at build-out to maintain compliance with the threshold standard. The CVFD has prepared a draft updated Fire Facility, Equipment, and Deployment Master Plan (FFMP) dated January 2011 but it has yet to be officially adopted. The adopted 1997 Fire Station Master Plan has been used to complete this analysis; however, if and/or when the new FFMP is approved the Project will be required to comply with its requirements. It is anticipated that the FFMP will be adopted in winter 2013 timeframe. 4.3.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS In accordance with the approved Fire Station Master Plan, the City, at its sole discretion unless stated otherwise in a development agreement, shall determine when a new fire station is required in order to achieve threshold service levels, meet specific project guidelines or maintain general operational needs of the Fire Department. Developments shall be in accordance with the project guidelines outlined in the Fire Station Master Plan as may be amended from time to time unless stated otherwise in a development agreement. The requirement to pay for fire station construction and related equipment shall be the sole responsibility of the developer or developers and the City may require said developer or developers to provide a guarantee mechanism to assure the availability of such funding. The City of Chula Vista requires all SPA Plans to address Fire/EMS and the facilities needed to provide these services. Some issues that must be addressed relative to Fire/EMS facility needs are: 1) Specific siting of the needed facilities takes place in conformance with the Fire Station Master Plan, August 14, 1997, as amended unless stated otherwise in a development agreement; 2) Equipment needs; 3) Methods of financing equipment and facilities; City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan November, 2013 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.3-1 4.3 FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES CITAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4) Timing of construction consistent with the threshold service levels. (May require a "trigger analysis" to be performed by a third-party expert to dictate and justify the timing for the requisite fire facilities.) 5) Specific project guidelines and/or general operational needs of the Fire Department. 4.3.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS There are currently nine (9) fire stations serving the City of Chula Vista.

The Fire Department reports that its aging reserve engine fleet is beginning to hinder its performance capabilities. The older fleet has smaller engines, older suspension and smaller brakes, all of which may reduce their ability to respond adequately.

Such alternatives may require third party technical review at the project permit phase. 5) City should review the PFDIF for Fire/EMS to assure that new development is funding its fair share of these facilities. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.3-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.4 SCHOOLS 4.4 SCHOOLS 4.4.1 THRESHOLD STANDARD The City annually provides the two local school districts with a 12 to 18 month development forecast and requests an evaluation of their ability to accommodate the forecast and continuing growth. The Districts' replies should address the following: 1) Amount of current capacity now used or committed. 2) Ability to absorb forecasted growth in affected facilities. 3) Evaluation of funding and site availability for projected new facilities. 4) Other relevant information the District(s) desire(s) to communicate to the City and GMOC. 4.4.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS School facilities and services in Chula Vista are provided by two school districts. The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) administers education for kindergarten through sixth grades. The Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) administers education for the Junior/Middle and Senior High Schools of a large district, which includes the City of Chula Vista. The purpose of the threshold standard is to ensure that the districts have the necessary school sites and funds to meet the needs of students in newly developing areas in a timely manner, and to prevent the negative impacts of overcrowding on the existing schools. Through the provision of development forecasts, school district personnel can plan and implement school facility construction and program allocation in line with development. On November 3, 1998, California voters approved Proposition 1 A, the Class Size Reduction Kindergarten-University Public Education Facilities Bond Act of 1998. Prior to the passage of Proposition 1 A, school districts relied on statutory school fees established by Assembly Bill 2926 ("School Fee Legislation") which was adopted in 1986, as well as judicial authority (i.e., Mira-Hart- Murrieta court decisions) to mitigate the impacts of new residential development. In a post Proposition 1 A environment, the statutory fees provided for in the School Fee Legislation remains in effect and any mitigation requirements or conditions of approval not memorialized in a mitigation agreement, after July 23, 2000, have been replaced by Alternative Fees (sometimes referred to as Level II and Level III Fees). The statutory fee for residential development is referred to in these circumstances as the Level I Fee (i.e., currently at $2.97 per square foot for new residential construction and $0.47 per square foot for new commercial and industrial construction). These fees were last adopted by the State Allocation Board at its January 27, 2010 meeting and may be increased every two years thereafter according to an inflation adjustment. This fee is shared between CVESD and SUHSD through a fee sharing agreement. CVESD utilizes their most recent School Facilities Needs Analysis (SFNA) dated June 2011, to quantify, for the next five-year period, the impacts of new residential development on the districts school facilities, and to calculate the permissible Alternative Fees to be collected from such new residential development. To ensure the timely construction of school facilities to house students from the residential development in Village 9, alternative fees or implementation of a Mello Roos Community Facilities District (CFD) will be necessary. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.4-1 4.4 SCHOOLS CITAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA In compliance with Government Code Section 65995(c) et. Seq. the SFNA provides the determination of eligibility for and the calculation of a Level II Fee. The formula for calculating the Alternative Level II fee can be generally described as the number of unhoused students identified in the SFNA, multiplied by the per pupil grant amount, plus 50%of the sum of site acquisition and development costs, less surplus property or proceeds thereon if any, less local funds dedicated for facilities construction, divided by the projected total square footage of residential units anticipated to be constructed during the next five years. A corresponding Level III Fee can generally be described as being equal to twice the Alternative Level II Fee plus the full amount of local funds dedicated by the District to provide school facilities to accommodate students generated from new growth, including any commercial and industrial fees collected. Sweetwater Union High School District utilizes their current "Sweetwater Union High School District Long Range Comprehensive Master Plan" dated July 20, 2004. Implementation of the SUHSD Plan is ongoing and has resulted in the upgrading of older schools and accommodating continuing growth. In recognition of the impact on school facilities from new development, the SUHSD and the development community have entered into various mitigation agreements in order to ensure the timely construction of school facilities to house students from such new development. The primary financing mechanism authorized in these mitigation agreements is the formation of community facilities districts (CFDs). For this reason, such mitigated developments have been excluded from the projections contained in the SFNA dated March 11, 2011. 4.4.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The PFFP is required by the Growth Management Program to address the following issues for School Services: 1) Identify student generation by phase of development. 2) Specific siting of proposed school facilities will take place in conformance with the Sweetwater Union High School District Long Range Comprehensive Master Plan, July 2004 and Chula Vista Elementary School District's Standards and Criteria. 3) Reserve school sites, if necessary, or coordinate with the district for additional school classrooms. 4) Provide cost estimates for facilities. 5) Identify facilities consistent with proposed phasing. 6) Demonstrate the ability to provide adequate facilities to access public schools in conjunction with the construction of water and sewer facilities. 7) Secure financing. 4.4.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS SCHOOL FACILITIES INVENTORY, CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT Currently, the CVESD's inventory consists of 45 elementary schools including 6 Charter schools. Exhibit A-2 of the CVESD SFNA lists current available capacity in May 2011 as 28,268. Capacity using existing facilities is approximately 29,212.

At completion, the proposed project could generate approximately 1,706 students using the following Student Generation Factors: Elementary (K-6) _ .20911 students/DU of Multi-Family • .4114 students/DU of Attached cluster & detached Middle School (7-8) _ .081 students/DU of Multi-Family • .0936 students/DU of Attached, cluster & detached Single Family High School (9-12) _ .1171 students/DU of Multi-Family • .1939 students/DU of Attached, cluster & Detached Single Family By phase and school category, the high density plan is expected to generate the following students: TABLE 4.4.1 -STUDENT GENERATION BY PHASE* Phase Elementary Middle School High School Total School (K-6) (7-8) (9-12) Students Orange 124 39 64 227 Blue 259 100 145 504 Yellow 178 61 95 334 Purple 328 127 184 639 Subtotal 890 327 488 1,704 *Totals of rows and columns do not match due to rounding errors Includes Apartment&Condominium units. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.4-3 4.4 SCHOOLS OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA SCHOOL SIZE STANDARDS • Elementary 750-1000 students • Middle 1,200 students • Senior High 2,400 students Chula Vista Elementary School District The project will generate an estimated 890 elementary school students. To fulfill the educational need of new elementary school students within Village 9, two elementary school sites have been reserved. Both of these sites may be developed as an elementary school if selected by the CVESD. Each site is large enough to accommodate approximately 750 students. Construction timing and selection of the school site will be determined by the school district. Until such time that the school is completed, students residing in Village 9 will attend schools in neighboring villages as determined by the CVESD. The CVESD relies heavily on local funding to finance the construction of school facilities and in the last several years the District has been deemed ineligible to receive any monies from the State to construct new schools. Based on the projected development set forth in the GMOC forecast and current eligibility determinations by the Office of Public School Construction, the District does not anticipate additional state funding will be forthcoming for at least the next three- five years. With state funding in doubt plus increased costs of school construction and land acquisition the future of new school construction projects will be difficult. The developer will satisfy its obligation to mitigate the project's impact on school facilities through the payment of statutory school fees as required under State law. Sweetwater Union High School District The maximum capacity of a middle school is approximately 1,200 students. It is anticipated that the approximately 327 middle school students generated by the Village 9 project will likely attend the planned middle school located in Village 11 or Village 8 West. The Project will generate an estimated 488 high school students. High school students from Village 9 will likely attend Olympian High School, located in Village 7 less than one-half mile from Village 9 4.4.6 FINANCING SCHOOL FACILITIES California Government Code section 65995 et. seq. and Education Code Section 17620 et. seq. authorizes school districts to impose facility mitigation exactions on new development as a way to address increasing enrollment caused by that development. Although the collection of school fees is one method available to defray the cost of new development, it is not an acceptable solution since the maximum amount that could be collected by law represents less than one-fourth the cost to construct schools. The SUHSD is unable to meet the needs of this project with current school facilities and it is unable to construct new facilities to meet the impacts of this project through the provision of school fees. In recognition of this funding deficiency, it is the policy of each district to fully mitigate the facility impacts caused by a master planned community via the creation of a Mello Roos Community Facilities District prior to recordation of a final map However it should be noted that State Law Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.4-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.4 SCHOOLS does not allow Cities to condition final maps approvals on the creation of a Mello-Roos district.

Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.4-6 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.5 LIBRARIES 4.5 LIBRARIES 4.5.1 THRESHOLD STANDARD In the area east of 1-805, the City shall construct, by build-out (approximately year 2030) 60,000 gross square feet (GSF) of library space beyond the city-wide June 30, 2000 GSF total. The construction of said facilities shall be phased such that the City will not fall below the GMOC threshold standard ratio of 500 GSF per 1,000 population'. Library facilities are to be adequately equipped and staffed. 4.5.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS The City of Chula Vista Library Department provides library facilities. 4.5.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The PFFP is required by the Growth Management Program (GMP) to address the following issues for Library services: 1) Identify phased demands in conjunction with the construction of streets, water and sewer facilities. 2) Specifically identify facility sites in conformance with the Chula Vista Library Master Plan. 4.5.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The City provides library services through the Chula Vista Public Library at Fourth and "F" Street (Civic Center), the South Chula Vista Library in the Montgomery/Otay planning area, and the recently opened (April 14, 2012) Otay Ranch Town Center site. The Castle Park, Woodlawn and the public library operation at Eastlake High School have been closed. The current libraries are listed on Table 4.5.1 . TABLE 4.5.1 CURRENT LIBRARY FACILITIES Current Libraries Square Footage Civic Center Branch 55,000 South Chula Vista Branch 37,000 Otay Ranch Town Center(opened April 14, 2012) 3,412 Total Existing Square Feet 95,412 The GMOC threshold of 500 GSF per 1,000 population is stated in the Chula Vista Municipal Code (Sec. 19.09.04 D). Construction of library space shall be phased such that the city shall not fall below this threshold. However the Chula Vista Public Facilities Development Impact Fee program uses a "service standard" of 600 GSF/1,000,which is the target or desired standard to be achieved at build-out of the city. The proposed Library Facilities Strategic Plan recommends a range of 500 to 700 GSF. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.5-1 4.5 LIBRARIES OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.5.5 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS The 1998 Chula Vista Library Master Plan Update addressed such topics as library siting and phasing, the impacts of new technologies on library usage, and floor space needs. The plan called for the construction of a full service regional library of approximately 30,000 square feet in the Rancho del Rey area and the construction of a second full service regional library of similar size in the Otay Ranch Eastern Urban Center (EUC). The City submitted applications for grant funding for the Rancho del Rey library in all three rounds of the highly competitive State Library Bond Act of 2000 administered by the California State Library (aka Proposition 14), but the City did not receive an award. The Rancho del Rey branch library was subsequently put on hold. The City has prepared a draft Library Strategic Facilities Plan dated April 2011. The plan has not yet been adopted by City Council. According to the Plan, developing a single new destination library for east Chula Vista would be the most cost effective way to meet the threshold standard for library space in Chula Vista, from the standpoint of both capital and operating costs. The Plan indicates that a new destination library should be located convenient to SR-125, preferably on the east side of the freeway in order to best serve residents of this underserved area. In addition to sufficient capacity for the library building and parking, characteristics of a successful library site include a high profile location along a well-traveled route, close to other community amenities and accessible by public transit. A single new destination library could also be developed in phases. This would provide the ability to begin project implementation sooner, rather than waiting until funding accrues for the full project. The draft plan is being held pending completion of a Strategic Plan Element. Table 4.5.2 highlights existing plus forecasted project demands for library space as compared to the existing and scheduled library space as well as the impact of the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Project (the "Project") on library facilities. The Project can be accommodated in the projected Regional Library space.

With the closure of the Eastlake Branch in June, 2011 the FY 2010-11 gross library floor area service ratio is only 387 square feet per 1,000 residents. The ratio is projected to fall to 379 sq. ft./1,000 in FY 2012-13, and to 341 sq. ft. by 2017 if no new library space is added. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.5-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.5 LIBRARIES The Library Threshold Standard Implementation Measure requires that the City Council "formally adopt and fund tactics to bring the library system into conformance, and that construction, or another actual solution, shall be scheduled to commence within three years of the threshold not being satisfied (June 2007)". The deficiency of total library space is only one indicator of more pressing constraints that have been identified in GMOC reports, and draft Library Strategic Facility Plan including but not limited to the following: • Lack of conveniently located facilities to serve the east side of Chula Vista (the most significant influencing factor on library use is proximity of the facility to the user), • Reduction in library hours as the result of budget cutbacks; • Adequate computer facilities, both equipment and infrastructure quality at the Civic Branch, and the number of stations, as well as speed of connection at all library facilities. While the library system may not be experiencing significant issues due to a lack of square footage available (i.e., a failure to meet the threshold), the City's libraries are experiencing significant customer service issues directly related to location of branches, hours and equipment availability and quality. Based on a population projection of 10,923, the Project will generate a demand for 5,462 gross square feet of additional library space, which can be accommodated in the projected planned total square footage of the proposed branch libraries. 4.5.6 FINANCING LIBRARY FACILITIES The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) was last updated by the Chula Vista City Council on June 28, 2013. The PFDIF is adjusted approximately every October 1 It pursuant to Ordinance 3050. The Library Public Facilities DIF Fee for both Single Family and Multi-Family Development is $1,555/unite. This amount is subject to change as it is amended from time to time. The project will be subject to the payment of the fee at the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued. At the current fee rate, the estimated Library Fee obligation at build-out is $6,220,000.

The total fee revenue is dependent on project phasing, final residential densities and density transfers. 4.5.7 THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS In its 2012 Annual Report dated June 7, 2012, the GMOC noted the need to update the 1998 Library Facilities Master Plan to reflect increased library needs generated by projected build-out population from the 2005 General Plan Update. A draft of the Master Plan was completed but its adoption put on hold until such time as an updated Library Strategic Plan may be completed. The Strategic Plan may not be completed for another 12 months, or more. Based upon the analysis contained within this section, the City's current library facilities (approximately 95,412 square feet) are approximately 27,836 square feet below the threshold standard (see Table 4.5.2). Prior to the issuance of each building permit for residential dwelling units unless stated otherwise in a development agreement, the Project Developer shall pay the Public Facilities DIF for library facilities at the rate in effect at the time of building permit issuance.

All park development plans are reviewed by City staff and presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review. A recommendation is made by this Commission to the City Council. The Otay Ranch Parks and Recreation Facility Implementation Plan was adopted by the City Council on October 28, 1993. This plan identifies the parks facility improvement standards for the Otay Ranch. The City Council approved the Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Master Plan in November 2002. The Plan provides guidance for planning, siting and implementation of neighborhood and community parks. 4.6.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS • Identify phased demands in conformance with the number of dwelling unit's constructed, street improvements and in coordination with the construction of water and sewer facilities. • Specific siting of the facility will take place in conformance with the Village 9 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan as Chapter 7 of the SPA Plan. • Provide irrevocable offer of dedication for park purposes for sites within the project. • Compliance with the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan 4.6.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing and future parks as depicted in the Public Facilities Services Element of the General Plan and as updated by the inclusion of more recent information are contained in the City's Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan dated December, 2010.

To meet the City threshold requirements the amount of parkland dedicated is based on a standard of 3 acres per 1,000 population (see Table 4.6.1). The standard is based on State of California Government Code 66477, also known as the Quimby Act that allows a city to require by ordinance, the dedication of land or payment of fees for park or recreational purposes or a combination of both. TABLE 4.6.1 QUIMBY ACT PARKLAND REQUIREMENTS Village 9 SPA Population Standard Parkland Acres Required 10,923 3 acres per 1,000 32.8 population All new development in the City of Chula Vista is subject to the requirements contained in the City's Parkland Dedication Ordinance CVMC Chapter 17.10. The ordinance establishes fees for parkland acquisition and development (PAD fees), sets standards for dedication and establishes criteria for acceptance of parks and open space by the City of Chula Vista. Fees vary depending upon the type of dwelling unit that is proposed. There are four types of housing; Single Family dwelling units (defined as all types of single family detached housing and condominiums), Multi-Family dwelling units (defined as all types of attached housing including townhouses, attached condominiums, duplexes, triplexes and apartments), Mobile Homes and Hotel/Motel Rooms. Multi-Family Housing is defined as any free-standing structure that contains two or more residential units. The Parkland Dedication Ordinance (PDO) specifies a land area to be dedicated for each unit depending on type: Single Family or Multi-family. The land area requirements are shown below on Table 4.6.2. TABLE 4.6.2 CITY OF CHULA VISTA PARKLAND DEDICATION ORDINANCE STANDARDS Dwelling Unit Type Land Dedication per Unit Dwelling Units per Park Acre Single Family 460 sf/du 95 du/ac. Multi-Family 341 sf/du 128 du/ac. The PDO method results in a slightly different park acreage obligation than shown in Table 4.6.1. Applying the PDO standards, the Project's park obligation is approximately 32 acres (see Table 4.6.3) 1 This population is based on the persons per household factors used by the Department of Development Services:3.30 per single family residence,3.1 per unit for Mixed-Use (10 to 27 units per acre),and 2.58 per multi-family.

The town square park sites will be constructed by the developer and will remain private. The Town Square Park in Planning Area C is required to be completed prior to issuance of a building permit for the 460th residential unit in Project Planning Areas A, B-1 and B-2, and the Town Square Park in Planning Area I is required to be completed prior to issuance of a building permit for the 192nd residential unit in Project Planning Areas M, N, P, and Q. The Pedestrian/Mini Parks (located south of Otay Valley Road in the Orange and Yellow Phases) will also be constructed by the developer and are subject to dwelling unit thresholds. The Pedestrian/Mini Parks located in Planning Areas GG, HH and 11 shall all be completed prior to issuance of a building permit for the 719th residential unit south of H Street. Applying a unit threshold to the neighborhood park is not practical since the development of a public park is not under the control of the developer. In this regard, the Director of Recreation shall have the discretion to modify the sequence of park delivery.

According to the Project's tentative map, Village 9 will provide 23.0 net acres of eligible parkland or "supply acres". The difference between the demand for parklands in Village 9 and the parklands supplied is a net deficit of 9.0 acres. The 23.0 acres will be provided by the Developer dedicating parkland, paying in lieu parkland development fees for the neighborhood parks, and constructing the town square and pedestrian/mini parks. The 9.0 acres remaining of the Project's total parkland requirement shall be met by a combination of additional dedications of parkland and/or payment of park acquisition and development fees, at the discretion of the Directors of Recreation and Development Services. In Village 8 West, the other Otay Ranch SPA owned by the Project developer, a net 9.4 acre surplus of parkland is identified. The Project developer is proposing to apply the Village 8 West excess supply toward meeting the park requirements of Village 9. In effect, the developer is proposing a transfer of parkland "credit". Any transfer of this type must be approved by the Directors of Recreation and Development Services.

The four tiers are: 1) park amenities in town square parks; 2) active play facilities in neighborhood parks; 3) community-level playing fields in community parks; and, 4) region-wide active and passive recreational areas in designated regional parks. Open space, community and regional parks are designated at the GDP level. The GDP Park and Open Space Policies for Village 9 state that parks will be established at the SPA Plan level. The amount of parkland required by the local park code, Chapter 17.10 CVMC, and the amount provided are indicated in Tables 4.6.3 and 4.6.4. A. REQUIRED PARKLAND & IMPROVEMENTS New development is required to provide public parkland, improved to City standards, and dedicated to the City and/or provide in lieu fees, based on the City's Parkland Dedication Ordinance. The dedication requirements implement the Quimby Act 3 acre/1000 population standard. In addition to improved parkland, additional or specialized recreational facilities or payment of in-lieu fees can be provided and credited against the parkland requirement on an acreage basis. The projected dedication and/or fee requirement for the Project, based on the proposed target number of units and the assumed product types, is 32 acres as detailed in Tables 4.6.3 and 4.6.6 above. Compliance with the park dedication requirements will be monitored at each applicable final map and building permit within the Project. B. OPEN SPACE The Project will provide 4 acres of Open Space Preserve for conveyance into the Otay Ranch Preserve (See section D below) and 5.6 acres of Preserve edge open space (see Exhibit 4.6.1). Additional open space areas in the form of manufactured slopes will occur throughout the SPA adjacent to roadways and between planning areas. C. PARK &OPEN SPACE IMPLEMENTATION All of the open space and public parks will be controlled through open space easements and/or dedication to the City, or a special maintenance district established for that purpose. Maintenance of the neighborhood park will be provided by the City general fund. Maintenance of the town square parks will be funded through the establishment of a property-based business improvement district or other mechanism acceptable to the Director of Recreation. Community Facility, Open Space and/or Landscape Maintenance Districts may be established to ensure proper management, maintenance and operation of the pedestrian parks and public right-of- way improvements. Private open space areas and slopes within "common interest" residential projects will be designated common areas and maintained by homeowners' associations. Similar property owners' associations may be established for non-residential projects which include common areas requiring on-going maintenance. The phasing of park sites will include offering parkland for dedication at the first final map and construction of park improvements. Parks are to be available for use when the corresponding number of occupied new dwelling units requiring said park acreage is sufficient enough to equal the size of one or more of the Project's planned parks. The neighborhood park is to be City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.6-5 4.6 PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA constructed by the City with Developer-paid in-lieu park development fees being the source of funding for construction. Park fees are to be paid prior to issuance of residential building permits. The two town square parks and three pedestrian/mini parks are to be constructed by the Developer as a "turn key" facilities according to the unit thresholds stated in Section 4.6.5 above. Upon successful completion of these parks, as determined by the Director of Recreation, City will allow parkland development PAD fee credits. The amount of said credits is subject to the Director of Recreation approval. D. OTAY RANCH RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN (RMP) In accordance with the Otay Ranch RMP, the development of each Otay Ranch village requires an open space (OS) contribution of 1.188 acres of habitat to the Otay Ranch Preserve for each acre of development within the village, in accordance with existing conveyance agreements. The Village 9 contribution is based on a development land area of approximately 323.1 acres less land area to be used for Community Purpose Facilities (CPF), parks, schools, arterial roads, SR-125 right-of-way, and open space totaling approximately 141.8 acres. At 1.188 acres of conveyance per developed acre, the total conveyance obligation would be approximately 219.9 acres. The Project's Preserve conveyance acreage is calculated in Table 4.6.7. The acreages are estimates only; actual acreages may be different when calculated at the time of final map.

Approximately 4 acres of Preserve area is provided within the SPA and will be conveyed into the Otay Ranch Preserve. The remaining open space obligation will be fulfilled in accordance with the conveyance agreement. The 5.6 acres of Preserve edge open space is not applicable to the Project's conveyance obligation. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.6-6 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.6 PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE E. TRAILS The Project's SPA Plan provides for a Village Pathway, a segment of the Regional Trail and neighborhood trails and pedestrian linkages within and beyond Village 9 (see Exhibit 4.6.1). Within the Project, parks are accessed by the network of sidewalks and other trail amenities as follows: 1) Village Path and Pedestrian Bridge. The Village Path occupies a portion of the neighborhood park and the Campus Boulevard right-of-way. The Village Path begins at the Street "B" BRT transit station on the University Site. The Village Path then continues west on Campus Boulevard, past Street "G" into the Neighborhood Park to the future pedestrian bridge over SR-125. The Village Path connects Village 8 East with the future university site. Village Path and the pedestrian bridge are assumed to be constructed by the year 2030, or prior to the 3,074t" EDU in the Project, whichever comes first. 2) Regional Trail. The Regional Trail provides a connection to the Otay Valley Regional Park. The regional trail is located within the Otay Valley Road right-of-way then proceeds southerly through the pedestrian parks and open space areas in the Project before connecting with the Otay Valley Regional Park (see Exhibit 4.6.1). 3) Neighborhood Trails. Neighborhood trails occur along interior slopes, connecting adjacent planning areas where steep slopes prevent direct roadway connections. The intent of these trails is to promote walkability by creating shorter travel distances between neighborhoods. They may not be appropriate for all users. 4.6.8 RECREATION The Project's SPA Plan addresses the park, open space and trails facilities within the SPA area. The Otay Ranch Parks and Recreation Facility Implementation Plan (adopted by the City Council on October 28, 1993) identifies the park facility improvement standards for Otay Ranch. The City of Chula Vista Development Services Department conducted subsequent facilities needs assessments and proposed City-wide modifications to parks and recreation facilities. The proposed modifications for Otay Ranch area parks are included in the City of Chula Vista Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan, dated December, 2010. The proposed types, quantities and location of the facilities provided at each park site are included in the Project's SPA Plan. 4.6.9 FINANCING PARK FACILITIES Chapter 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, as amended unless stated otherwise in a parks or development agreement, governs the financing of parkland and improvements. Included as part of the regulations are Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fees established for the purpose of providing neighborhood and community parks. The Ordinance provides that fees are paid to the City prior to approval of a final subdivision map, or in the case of a residential development that is not required to submit a final map, at the time of the final building permit application. CVMC 17.10.070 allows the City to deem that a combination of dedication of parkland and the payment of in-lieu fees would better serve the public and the park and recreation needs of future residents of the project if, in the judgment of the City, suitable land does not exist. Furthermore CVMC states that the amount and location of the land or in-lieu fees, or combination thereof, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.

Definitions of dwelling unit type used for calculating park obligations are based upon from the City's Parkland Dedication Ordinance CVMC chapter 17.10. These definitions differ from the way unit types are defined from a planning, land-use and zoning perspective that uses unit density per acre to categorize the type of unit. CVMC chapter 17.10 uses product type to categorize the type of unit distinguishing between attached and detached units. Consequently, the figures in this chart are illustrative estimates, and shall be recalculated at the time when the obligations are due as determined by chapter 17.10 of the CVMC unless stated otherwise in a separate parks or development agreement. . The current Park Acquisition and Development fees are found in the City of Chula Vista's Development Checklist for Municipal Code Requirements,Form 5509,and Revised September 24,2012. PAD fees and acreage obligations are subject to periodic annual increases. In the event that the Developer offers for dedication parkland acceptable to the City for use as parkland, the Developer is eligible to receive parkland acquisition fee credits at the discretion of the Director of Recreation. Table 4.6.8 identifies the fees calculated for the development component of the PAD fees while Table 4.6.9 identifies the fees calculated for the parkland acquisition component of the PAD fees. These fees are estimates only, actual fees will be based on PAD fee rates in effect at time of payment and are dependent upon the actual numbers of units filed on the final maps. Fees are also subject to change by the City Council. Multi-Family dwelling units are defined as all types of attached housing including townhouses, attached condominiums, duplexes, triplexes and apartments. The development in-lieu fees generated by the Project will be used by the City to construct the neighborhood park in Planning Area "L" and for development of park sites elsewhere to satisfy the Project's full parkland obligation.

On October 25, 2005, the City Council approved Ordinance 3026 relating to the periodic annual review and adjustment of park acquisition and development fees. Approval of Ordinance 3026 resulted in an increase fee for parkland acquisition. In July 23, of 2004 the Chula Vista City Council approved Ordinance 2945. This Ordinance amended Chapter 17.10 of the CVMC, which requires the collection of In-Lieu Park Acquisition and Development Fees from residential developments that are not required to submit a subdivision map or parcel map. Some of the previous council actions that contributed to an increase in the in-lieu fees for park development and land acquisition are Ordinances No. 2886 and 2887 (both approved on November 19, 2002). Ordinance 2886 amended Chapter 17.10 of the CVMC to update the Parks Acquisition and Development Fees. Ordinance 2887 amended Chapter 3.50 of the Municipal Code, as detailed in the "Public Facilities DIF, November 2002 Amendment', adding a new recreation component to the Public Facilities DIF, updating the impact fee structure and increasing the overall fee. Chapter 17.10 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, first adopted in 1971, details requirements for parkland dedication, park improvements and the collection of in-lieu fees (i.e., PAD fees) from developers of residential housing in subdivisions or in divisions created by parcel maps, both east and west of I-805. It is the responsibility of the developer to dedicate land for parks and develop all or a portion of the land as a neighborhood or community park. All parks must be designed and constructed to the City of Chula Vista regulations and to the satisfaction of the Director of Recreation and Director of Public Works. Improvements that may be required by the City include: • Drainage Systems • Lighted Parking Lots • Concrete Circulation Systems • Security Lighting • Park Fixtures (drinking fountains, trash receptacles, bicycle racks, etc.) • Landscaping (including disabled accessible surfacing) • Irrigation Systems • Restrooms and Maintenance Storage • Play Areas (tot lots, etc.) • Picnic Shelters, Tables, Benches • Utilities • Outdoor Sports Venues (tennis courts, baseball/softball fields. basketball courts, multi- purpose sports fields, skateboard and roller blade venues) City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.6-9 4.6 PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA In addition to parks-related items, a 1987 revision called for the dedication, within community parks, of major recreation facilities to serve newly developing communities, including: • Community Centers • Gymnasiums • Swimming pools Historically, PAD fees have not been sufficient to construct these additional large capital items. However, major recreation facilities are now funded through a separate component of the Public Facilities DIF. The major capital items to be included in the new component are: community centers, gymnasiums, swimming pools, and senior/teen centers. In addition to existing citywide recreational facilities, an additional 139,834 square feet of major recreation facilities will be required to meet new development growth through build-out.Since the demand for major public recreation facilities is created by residential development, facilities costs are not spread to commercial/industrial development. Table 4.6.10 provides an estimate of the Recreational PFDIF Fees for the project. These fees are estimates only, actual fees will be based on fee rates in effect at time of payment and are dependent upon the actual numbers of units filed on the Project's final maps.

The City annually provides the San Diego County Water Authority, the Sweetwater Authority, and the Otay Water District with a 12 to 18 month development forecast and requests an evaluation of their ability to accommodate the forecast and continuing growth. The Districts' replies should address the following: A. Water availability to the City and planning area, considering both short and long term perspectives; B. Amount of current capacity, including storage capacity, now used or committed; C. Ability of affected facilities to absorb forecasted growth; D. Evaluation of funding and site availability for projected new facilities; E. Other relevant information the District(s) desire(s) to communicate to the City and GMOC. The growth forecast and water district response letters shall be provided to the GMOC for inclusion in its review. 4.7.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS The Otay Water District (OWD) will provide potable and recycled water service for the Village 9 SPA Plan (Project) area. OWD has existing and planned facilities in the vicinity of the Project site. Expanding the existing system can provide water service to the Project (see Exhibits 4.7.1 and 4.7.2). The Final Overview of Water Service for Otay Ranch Village 9, dated December 2010, by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. (Wilson Water Study) and the Otay Water District Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report, (WSA&V) dated November 2010, by Robert Kennedy, P.E., Associate Civil Engineer for OWD, provide the basis for this section of this PFFP. The Wilson Water Study provides recommendations for improvements that are needed to provide potable and recycled water service to the Project. The WSA&V includes an identification of existing water supply entitlements, water rights, water service contracts, or agreements relevant to the identified water supply needs for the Project. Prior to the approval of the first final map for the Project the developer shall also prepare a potable and recycled water Subarea Water Master Plan (SAMP) and gain approval of the SAMP from OWD. The SAMP will identify all water and recycled water facilities needed to serve the Project, both on and off the Project site. The SAMP will also identify the party responsible for the funding and construction of the identified improvements. In addition, no Final Map for the Project will be approved until the needed on-site and off-site facilities have been identified, secured and/or constructed, as approved by OWD and the City. The Project will be required to provide all facilities needed to serve the Project when constructed without relying on the phased construction of adjacent projects, which are planned to provide improvements. The SAMP will be reviewed by the City of Chula Vista, the City's Fire Marshal and OWD prior to approval of City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.7-1 4.7 WATER OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA the first final map for the Project. The SAMP will provide more detailed information on the Project such as project phasing; recycled water system improvements, processing requirements and computer modeling to justify recommended pipe sizes. OWD will not approve final engineering improvement plans until a SAMP has been approved for the Project. The design criteria implemented to evaluate the potable and recycled water systems for the Project are in accordance with the Otay Water District Water Resources Master Plan, October 2008 (revised Nov. 2010)(WRMP) or as referenced in the Wilson Water Study. The design criteria are utilized for analysis of the existing water system as well as for design and sizing of proposed improvements and expansions to the existing system to accommodate demands in the study area. OWD prepared the WSA&V Report at the request of the City of Chula Vista (City). The WSA&V Report identifies that the water demand projections for the Project are included in the water demand and supply forecasts within the Urban Water Management Plans and other water resources planning documents of OWD, the San Diego County Water Authority (Water Authority), and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Water supplies necessary to serve the demands of the Project, along with existing and other projected future users, as well as the actions necessary to develop these supplies, have been identified in the water supply planning documents of OWD, the Water Authority, and MWD. Further, the WSA&V Report demonstrates and verifies that sufficient water supplies are to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, and in single- and multiple-dry years to meet the projected demand of the Project and the existing and other planned development projects within the OWD service area. Senate Bills 610 (Chapter 643- Statutes of 2001) and Senate Bill 221 (Chapter 642. Statutes of 2001) amended state law effective July 23, 1, 2002, to improve the link between information on water supply availability and certain land use decisions made by cities and counties. SB 610 and SB 221 are companion measures, which seek to promote more collaborative planning between local water suppliers and cities and counties. Both statutes require detailed information regarding water availability to be provided to the city and county decision- makers prior to approval of specified large development projects. Both statutes also require this detailed information be included in the administrative record that serves as the evidentiary basis for an approval action by the city or county on such projects. Both measures recognize local control and decision-making regarding the availability of water for projects and the approval of projects. The OWD Board of Directors' approved (on January, 6 201 1) WSA&V Report for Otay Ranch Village 9 finding the WSA&V Report meets the requirements of Senate Bills 221 and 610. 4.7.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The SPA Plan and this PFFP are required by the Growth Management Program to address the following issues for water services. 1. Identify phased demands in conformance with street improvements and in coordination with the construction of water and recycled water facilities. 2. Identify location of facilities for on-site and offsite improvements in conformance with the master plan of the water district serving the Project. 3. Provide cost estimates and proposed financing responsibilities. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.7-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.7 WATER 4. Identify financing methods. 5. A Water Conservation Plan shall be required for all major development projects (50 dwelling units or greater, or commercial and industrial projects with 50 EDUs of water demand or greater.) The applicant shall submit a water conservation plan along with the SPA Plan Application. 4.7.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS Most of the water used in the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) area is imported from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). MWD receives its water supply through the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct. The SDCWA conveys water from the MWD to local purveyors within San Diego County. The Project is within the OWD Central Service Area. Potable water is delivered to the Central Service Area via the Second San Diego Aqueduct. The Project will be served by the 624 pressure zone (PZ), the 711 PZ; and the 980 PZ the Project will need to expand the existing distribution system piping within all three pressure zones to receive potable water service. The improvements needed shall be consistent with OWD's established criteria for determining pressure zones. The criteria address minimum and maximum allowable pressures and maximum velocity thresholds within the distribution system piping under specific system operating conditions. Pipelines in the vicinity of Project include a 20-inch (980 PZ) line in Eastlake Parkway and 16- inch lines (71 1 PZ) in Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway. The 711 and 980 water lines will be extended to serve the Project (see Exhibits 4.7.1 and 4.7.2). The northern portions of the Project will be served by the 980 and 711 pressure zone pipes. The OWD Master Plan identifies a 624 PZ distribution main that will be extended from Heritage Road to the west and a line from Otay Valley Road to the east that will ultimately supply the southern portion of the Project area]. If these OWD improvements are not constructed, or if they are affected by circulation element changes, the Overview of Water Service (Wilson) recommends that a temporary 711/624 PZ pressure reducing station be installed to supply water to the southerly 624 PZ portions of the Project until these ultimate pipelines or their functional equivalents are constructed. The off-site improvements through the Project, connecting to the 624 PZ system are needed for the Project's southern portion to develop unless the Project constructs temporary onsite improvements to meet OWD redundancy requirements subject to City and OWD approval. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA development will connect to an existing 711 PZ 12-inch water line in Magdalena Avenue (see Exhibit 4.7.1 for location of existing potable water lines). Based on the projected demands and system looping, on-site potable water facilities will likely range from 8 to 12 inches in diameter, pending final land use and fire flow requirements. The Project will be required to provide all potable water improvements needed to serve the Project when constructed without relying on the phased construction of adjacent projects, which are planned to provide water distribution improvements. I The OWD Water Resources Master Plan(Nov.2010) indicates proposed 12"624 lines along both the Main Street and Otay Valley Road alignments between Heritage Road and Village 9 and the University Site further to the east.(see Exhibit 4.7.2 for an excerpt of the OWD Central Area CIP) City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.7-3 4.7 WATER OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA The expected demand for the Project is approximately 1.35 mgd according to the Wilson Water Study and such demand is included in the OWD Water Resources Master Plan update (November 2010). The WSA&V demonstrates and documents that sufficient water supplies are planned and are intended to be available over a 20-year planning horizon, under normal conditions and in single-and multiple-dry years to meet the projected demand of the Project, and the existing and other planned development projects within OWD, including Otay Ranch Villages 8 East and 8 West. Additional review of water demand and availability will occur with preparation of the Subarea Master Plan (SAMP) for Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA and approved by the OWD, to assure that sufficient supplies are planned to be available as demand is generated by the Project. Current OWD policies regarding new development require the use of recycled water where available. Consistent with the Otay Ranch GDP, it is anticipated that recycled water will be used to irrigate street parkway landscaping, the town square parks, the Community Purpose Facility (CPF) site, public parks, manufactured slopes along the westerly open space areas, and landscaped areas of mixed-use and multi-family sites. Recycled water is currently available to the Otay Ranch area from the 1.3 mgd capacity Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility located near the intersection of Singer Lane and Highway 94. Recycled water will be delivered to the northern third of the Project by extending an existing 8-inch 927 PZ line in Eastlake Parkway into the Project. The southerly portion of the Project will be served by the proposed extension of the 680 Zone recycled water system in Otay Valley Road, which is included in the OWD Master Plan. The Project will be required to provide all recycled water improvements needed to serve the Project when constructed without relying on the phased construction of adjacent projects, which are planned to provide improvements. 4.7.5 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS A. WATER CONSERVATION PLAN A Water Conservation Plan is required for all major development projects (50 dwelling units or greater, or commercial and industrial projects with 50 EDUs of water demand or greater). This plan is required at the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan level or equivalent for projects which are not processed through a Planned Community Zone. The city has adopted guidelines for the preparation and implementation of the Water Conservation Plan. Appendix G of the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA contains the Final Otay Ranch Village 9 Water Conservation Plan (December 2010) by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc.. The Water Conservation Plan provides an analysis of water usage requirements of the Project, as well as a detailed plan of proposed measures for water conservation, use of recycled water, and other means of reducing per capita water consumption from the Project, as well as defining a program to monitor compliance. B. OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA WATER DEMAND Table 4.7.1 shows the potable water demands within the Project. Ultimate average potable water demand for the Project, based on current land-use planning, is approximately 1.34 million gallons per day or about 1,505 acre-feet per year. The demand rate for each land use is shown as well.

Units and acreages may shift between phases as provided in the density and intensity transfer provisions of the SPA, but the total water demand shall remain the same. The water demands are consistent with the approved SB610/221 Water Supply Assessment and Verification report presented and approved by the OWD Board in January 2011. The Technical Water Study was approved by OWD in January 2011 . The total potable water demand for the Project in the Wilson Water Study is given as 1,345,070 gallons. Since the completion of the water study it was necessary to revise the Project's site utilization plan resulting in adjustments to the acreages for parks and schools. The net result is a slightly lower total demand. Based on assumed project phasing identified in the Wilson Water Study, Table 4.7.2 summarizes the expected potable water demands for each phase of the Project.

Common area landscaping only Sources: Village 9 SPA Site Utilization Plan dated May 2013 and Wilson Study 4.7.6 EXISTING WATER FACILITIES POTABLE WATER Otay Water District will supply the potable water to Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA. The OWD currently relies solely on the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) for water supply. The OWD has several connections to SDCWA Pipeline No. 4 which delivers filtered water from the Metropolitan Water District's filtration plant at Lake Skinner in Riverside County. The OWD also has a connection to the La Mesa - Sweetwater Extension Pipeline, which delivers, filtered water from the R.M. Levy Water Treatment Plant in the Helix Water District. Currently, this connection supplies water to the north portion of the OWD only. The OWD has a connection to the City of San Diego's water system in Telegraph Canyon Road and has an agreement that allows them to receive water from the Lower Otay Filtration Plant. Fire flow within the Project was evaluated as part of the Wilson Water Study. The fire flow requirements for each building within the Project will be a function of building design including height and structure type. As part of the building permit process, the City of Chula Vista Fire Department will evaluate fire flow requirements. The Applicant is required to prepare a final Subarea Master Plan (SAMP) prior to approval of the first final map. The SAMP will be approved by OWD as well as the City of Chula Vista. Among other topics, the SAMP will identify existing on-and off-site pipeline locations, size and capacity and the City of Chula Vista's fire flow requirements (flow rate, duration, hydrant spacing, etc). The Project's on-site system would meet a fire flow of between 1,500 and 5,000 gpm depending on land use per Table 4.7.1 . City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.7-7 4.7 WATER OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA RECYCLED WATER Existing recycled water distribution mains in the area may be extended to serve the Project, including an existing 8-inch main (927 PZ) to the north in Eastlake Parkway. On-site recycled water pipelines would most likely be sized at 8-inch diameter, unless otherwise directed by OWD. The proposed recycled water system layout is shown on Exhibit 4.7.5. CITY OF SAN DIEGO WATER Several City of San Diego water transmission lines traverse the Project including 44-inch, 54- inch, and 2 33-inch pipelines. These pipelines are generally located along an east to west alignment within the southerly Project area; the Project will not obtain water from these pipelines. 4.7.7 PROPOSED FACILITIES A. POTABLE WATER: Wilson determined that the projected water demands of the Project, the system looping, and on-site potable water facilities will likely range from 8 to 16-inches in diameter pending final land use and fire flow requirements. A network of looped distribution mains is planned to serve the Project. The potable water on-site distribution network is shown on Exhibit 4.7.3. The water distribution system improvements required for each phase and the planning units within each phase are listed in Table 4.7.4 and shown on Exhibit 4.7.4. B. RECYCLED WATER Exhibit 4.7.5 illustrates the recommended the on-site distribution network for recycled water and potential recycled water use areas within the Project. C. CITY OF SAN DIEGO WATER LINES Prior to the grading permit or the first final map for the Project, whichever occurs first, the developer will be required to enter into an agreement with the City of San Diego to relocate the City of San Diego's water lines to within the public streets. The agreement will contain provisions for phased relocation of the water lines, shall identify Village 9 EDU triggers for commencement and completion of relocation milestones, and identify future rights and responsibilities of the City of San Diego, the City of Chula Vista and the developer, all to the satisfaction of the Director of Development Services. If the City of San Diego water lines are not relocated, or an agreement for the relocation has not been executed prior to the approval of the l It Final Map of the Project, the developer will be required to revise/update the SPA Plan to reflect conditions with the current alignment of the water lines. 4.7.8 FINANCING WATER FACILITIES The financing and construction of potable water facilities is provided by three methods: • CAPACITY FEES: In conjunction with its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) the Otay Water District facilitates design and construction of facilities and collects an appropriate share of the cost from developers through collection of capacity fees charged to water meter Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.7-8 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.7 WATER purchases. Capital Improvement Projects typically include supply sources, pumping facilities, operational storage, terminal storage, and transmission mains. • WATER SUPPLY FEES The OWD Board of Directors adopted a new Water Supply Fee effective June, 2010 to offset the cost of bringing new water supplies to the District's service areas. The fee is charged by water meter size; the fee for a typical 1" meter for a single-family home is $2,230. The current fee schedule may be found on-line in "OWD Code of Ordinances" (Code No 28.01 B2) • EXACTION: The developer is required to finance, construct, and dedicate to the OWD potable water and recycled water facilities that serve only their development. The developer shall be required to finance, construct, and dedicate the relocated City of San Diego Water facilities to the City of San Diego.

The information provided to the GMOC shall include the following: a. Amount of current capacity now used or committed; b. Ability of affected facilities to absorb forecast growth; c. Evaluation of funding and site availability for projected new facilities; d. Other relevant information. 4.8.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS The City of Chula Vista currently purchases capacity for wastewater treatment through the City of San Diego METRO system. Chula Vista oversees the construction, maintenance and the operation of the sewer collection facilities. The City Engineer is responsible for reviewing proposed developments and ensuring that the necessary sewer facilities are provided with each development project. The Sewer Threshold Standard was developed to maintain healthful, sanitary sewer collection and disposal systems for the City of Chula Vista. Individual projects are required to provide necessary improvements consistent with the City of Chula Vista Wastewater Master Plan dated May 2005 and shall comply with all city engineering standards. The source of information regarding the existing and recommended sewer facilities is from the Final Overview of Sewer Service for Otay Ranch Village 9, dated December 2010, by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. This study is referred to as the Wilson Sewer Report throughout this PFFP. Otay Land Company's approximately 323-acre project ("Project") consists of commercial and medium and high-density residential land uses, as well as several parks, two elementary school sites, and a Community Purpose Facility (CPF) site. Table 4.8.1 summarizes the various land uses for the Project. A more detailed breakdown of these land uses is provided in the Wilson Sewer Report in Table 1-1. In addition, the land uses and densities assumed for the study are consistent with those evaluated in the adopted General Plan and Otay Ranch General Development Plan amendments. However, final land uses, acreages, and location of certain land uses may vary.

The actual acreage composition for these planning areas will be determined when specific site plans are submitted as part of the design review process. 'The ROW for other street classifications are included in the gross acres for the adjacent land uses. For purposes of this analysis it is assumed the City of San Diego's waterline easements will be abandoned when the waterlines are moved to within the arterial road ROW. 'The Village 9 on-site sewer system will convey flows from the University Site.An analysis will be required when site plans for the University Site are submitted. Sources: Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Site Utilization Summary,January,2012;Dexter Wilson Engineering,December, 2010 The total daily sewer flow the Project in the Wilson Sewer Study is given as 907,105 gallons. Since the completion of the sewer study it was necessary to revise the Project's site utilization plan resulting in adjustments to the acreages for parks and schools. The net result is a higher total sewer flow due to the increased park acreage. 4.8.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The SPA Plan and the PFFP are required by the Growth Management Program to address the following issues for Sewer Services: 1. Identify phased demands for all sewer trunk lines in conformance with the street improvements and in coordination with the construction of water facilities. 2. Identify location of sewer facilities for on-site and offsite improvements, in conformance with the Wilson Sewer Report. 3. Provide cost estimates for all facilities and proposed financing responsibilities. 4. Identify financing methods. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2013 4.8-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.8 SEWER 4.8.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS Sanitary sewer service for the Project will be provided by the City of Chula Vista (City). The City operates and maintains its own sanitary collection system that connects to the METRO wastewater treatment system. All wastewater generated within the Project will be conveyed to the Salt Creek Sewer Interceptor that discharges into the METRO system. The wastewater is ultimately treated by the City of San Diego at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Facility. SALT CREEK SEWER BASIN: There are no existing sewer facilities within the Project area. There are existing sewer facilities in Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway located to the northeast of the Project, however the Project will not connect to those sewer mains. The 30" Salt Creek Interceptor passes approximately 700 feet south of the Project. A connection will be made to the Salt Creek Interceptor to serve the entire Project area. The Salt Creek Interceptor conveys flows westerly to a point of connection with the METRO System. Exhibit 1 displays the sewer facilities existing in the vicinity of the Project. 4.8.5 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS Sewer flows generated by the Project were estimated by the Wilson Sewer Report. The estimates were based on current City planning criteria for the permanent and interim on-site sewer system conditions. These estimated flows are the basis for design of new sewer facilities and the evaluation of existing facilities that will serve the Project. A. WASTEWATER TREATMENT: The METRO system provides sewer treatment services for the City of Chula Vista and 14 other participating agencies in accordance with the terms of a multi-agency agreement (METRO Agreement). The METRO system currently has adequate sewage treatment capacity to serve the region until approximately 2025. The Developer shall pay capacity fees prior to building permit issuance. Development shall not occur without adequate sewer capacity as determined by the City Engineer. Building permits will not be issued if the City Engineer has determined that adequate sewer capacity does not exist. All development must comply with the Municipal Code, specifically, Municipal Code sections 19.09.010(A) 6 and 13.14.030. The City of Chula Vista wastewater treatment capacity rights in the METRO System are 20.865 mgd. The City currently generates an average flow of approximately 16.2 mgd; therefore, the City has reserve capacity of approximately 4.645 mgd. However, as a result of densification in the 2005 General Plan Update, the projected year 2030 average flow for the preferred General Plan alternative was increased to 26.2 mgd. Therefore, the City would need to acquire capacity rights for an additional 5.4 mgd to accommodate year 2030 flows. PBS&J (now Atkins) prepared a study as a supporting document to the Village 8 West and Village 9 Program EIRI, analyzing treatment plant capacity relative to land uses in the adopted 2005 General Plan Update including the increased densities of Village 8 West and Village 9. The study also served to assess the need to acquire additional treatment plant capacity. The PBS&J Study includes the potential increased flows from development of the Bayfront Redevelopment I Salt Creek Interceptor Technical Sewer Study for the South Otay Ranch (Village 8 West and Village 9),October,2010 City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.8-3 4.8 SEWER OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA project and indicates that the total future treatment capacity required in the cumulative condition may be as high as 32.5 mgd, leaving the City 11.7 mgd above its total 2030 allocation. However, there is regional sewer treatment capacity available. The City does not wish to buy more capacity than is actually needed. The City will either purchase capacity as needed, or suspend the issuance building permits until the needed capacity is acquired. The estimated balance of the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund (fund 413) is $39,122,2002. Based on the estimated rate of $21/gallon/day3 this translates into 1.9 mgd of additional capacity that could be purchased.4 The City is evaluating the benefits of paying the City of San Diego for treatment or providing for treatment in alternative ways. B. WASTEWATER GENERATION: In accordance with the City of Chula Vista's Subdivision Manual, the Wilson Sewer Report used the City sewage generation rates to estimate the total annual average wastewater flows produced from the Project. These estimated flows form the basis for design of the new sewer facilities and evaluation of existing facilities that will serve the Project. Table 4.8.2 below summarizes the criteria based on the City's Subdivision Manual. TABLE 4.8.2 CHULA VISTA SUBDIVISION MANUAL DESIGN CRITERIA Item Subdivision Manual Criteria Residential Sewage Generation 265 gpd/EDU SF: 1 DU = 1 EDU MF: 1 DU = 0.75 EDU Commercial Sewage Generation 2,500 gpd/nac Park Sewage Generation 500 gpd/nac PVC Roughness Coefficient, n 0.012 d/D for proposed sewer pipe 0.5 for pipes < =12" 0.75 for pipes >12" Average wastewater generation rates at ultimate build-out are presented in Table 4.8.1 above.

Table 4.8.3 summarizes the expected sewage generation for each phase of the Project. The facilities anticipated to serve the Project are shown on Exhibit 4.8.2 (from Wilson Sewer Report Figure 4-1) and listed by phase on Table 4.8.8 (from Wilson Table 5-1), based upon the on-site sewage generation projected as shown in Table 4.8.3. Note that this table (and Table 4.8.1 above) shows 1,200 gallons per day (5 EDU) more than the Wilson Sewer Report. This discrepancy is due to an additional 2.4 acres of parks that the revised Project Site Utilization Plan shows. This park acreage may represent pedestrian parks which may not have comfort stations and therefore would not require sewer connections.

ON-SITE SEWER COLLECTION The Wilson Sewer Report analyzed the on-site sewer system using the maximum allowable densities to determine the desired pipe sizes and slopes to meet the City's design criteria. Detailed calculations for the on-site sewer system are provided in Wilson Sewer Report. The on-site sewer collection system is expected to range from 8-inches to 15-inches in diameter, depending on the projected flows, available grade, and anticipated land use. The on-site sewer system was sized to accommodate density transfers as outlined in the Land Offer Agreement (Document No. 28-0218696 recorded in the County of San Diego on April 24, 2008) between Otay Land Company and the City allowing up to 15 percent of the units within a village to be transferred to another planning area within the village, provided that the total of 2,050 units allocated to the Project is not exceeded. D. UPSTREAM OFF-SITE FLOWS: An 8" sewer main stub is proposed to be extended easterly within Otay Valley Road to serve the future University Site. When site plans for the University Site are submitted, an analysis of impacts on the Village 9 sewer system and the Salt Creek Interceptor will then be conducted. There are no other upstream flows into the Project. E. OFF-SITE PIPELINE CAPACITY: As with other properties in the area, the intensity of the proposed development of the Project has increased from that proposed in the original Otay Ranch General Development Plan. The previously referenced study by PBS&J specifically analyzed the impact that the increased residential densities in Village 8 West and Village 9 and other projects would have on the Salt Creek Interceptor.5 The PBS&J study determined that certain segments of the Salt Creek Interceptor upstream of the proposed Village 9 connection may require improvement before build-out of the Project. 4.8.6 RECOMMENDED SEWERAGE FACILITIES The sewer facility improvements required to serve the Project include on-site and off-site gravity sewer lines to accept upstream sewage flows, and off-site sewer line to convey the flows from the Project to the Salt Creek Interceptor. Ultimately, flows in the northern portion of the Project as well as the upstream off-site flows will flow westerly along the Main Street alignment before connecting to the Salt Creek Interceptor. The off-site Main Street sewer will be constructed by others. The sizing of sewer lines in the Wilson Sewer Report are considered preliminary and shall be verified during the improvement plan preparation process when slopes and alignments for sewer lines have been better established. Exhibit 4.8.1 shows major sewer facilities located in the vicinity of the Project. IMPROVEMENTS The recommended on-site sewer lines internal to the Project will range from 8-inch to 15-inch gravity sewers. Exhibit 4.8.2 illustrates the recommended on-site sewer main sizing for the Project 5 The City analyzed the Salt Creek Interceptor in its 2005 Wastewater Master Plan,which was completed before adoption of the 2005 General Plan Update.The PBS&J study therefore includes all land use changes that have occurred since completion the 2005 Master Plan,including the 2005 General Plan and Village 8 West and Village 9,including the Land Offer Agreement units from JBP..

CONNECTOR SEWER LINES The Project's SPA identifies five (5) phases of development which may occur non-sequentially. The sewerage infrastructure needs by phase are identified Table 5-1 of the Wilson Sewer Report. 4.8.7 FINANCING SEWERAGE FACILITIES To fund the necessary improvements to the Salt Creek Interceptor including the Main Street trunk sewer, the Salt Creek Sewer Impact Fee program was established by the City of Chula Vista. A discussion of the required fees is provided in the following subsection A and B. A. SALT CREEK SEWER BASIN IMPACT FEES The November 1994 Salt Creek Basin Study prepared by Wilson Engineering established a fee to fund future improvements to the Salt Creek Interceptor System. In August 2004, the City of Chula Vista updated the Salt Creek Sewer Basin Plan with the primary goal of ensuring that fees are more fairly and equitably distributed amongst the remaining properties within the Salt Creek Sewer Basin, and that sufficient funding will be available to complete the required improvements within the Salt Creek Interceptor System. This fee is required to be paid by all future developments within the Salt Creek Drainage Basin to fund improvements required to serve ultimate development within the basin. Since the 2004 update, changes in land use density and distribution have altered the basin's sewer system requirements. Therefore, the developer shall participate in an update of the Salt Creek Sewer Basin Plan and the Impact Fee program by funding a fair-share portion of a study to determine the effects that the Village 9 SPA and other projects will have on the Salt Creek Interceptor's area of benefit and the equitable distribution of its costs among all contributors to the system. City of Chula Vista Ordinance Number 2974 updated the fee to be paid for future development within the Salt Creek Basin that connects to the existing system. Table 4.8.4 and 4.8.5 summarize the fees to be paid by each land use type. The fees are collected upon issuance of building permits at the fee rates in effect at that time unless stated otherwise in a development agreement. The projected estimate of the total Salt Creek Sewer Basin Fee revenue is $2.77 million based on the maximum number of allowable EDUs and the current fee rate of $1,330 per EDU. The actual fee revenue depends upon the final number of EDU's, changes in acreages and/or fee revisions by the City Council.

B. SEWERAGE PARTICIPATION (TREATMENT CAPACITY) FEE In addition, the City of Chula Vista collects a Sewerage Participation Fee to aid in the cost of processing sewage generated within the City. The fee is collected at the time of connection to the public sewer for new development. Existing buildings are subject to the fee when plumbing fixtures are added. For residential development the current fee $3,478 per EDU. Non-residential projects are prorated based on the number of Equivalent Fixture Units (EFU). Table 4.8.6 below summarizes the estimated City Sewerage Participation Fee for the residential component of the Project. The commercial component of the Project will be calculated for each specific development proposal. The Sewerage Participation Fees for all projects will be calculated prior to the issuance of building permits. The fee rate shown is as currently adopted and is subject to change by the City Council.

City staff is required to review individual projects to ensure that improvements are provided which are consistent with the drainage master plan(s) and that the project complies with all City engineering drainage standards. The Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan drainage improvements are identified in the Tentative Map Drainage Study for Otay Ranch Village 9, August 22, 2011 prepared by Hunsaker and Associates (TM Drainage Study). The TM Drainage Study was prepared to assess the existing and developed drainage conditions for the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA project ("Project"). A schematic of the Project and its drainage system is shown in Exhibit 4.9.1. The TM Drainage Study was prepared in support of the drainage system shown on the preliminary tentative map entitled: "Otay Ranch Village 9 and Portion of Village 12" dated March 8, 2011. Consistent with the criteria set forth in the County of San Diego Hydrology Manual (June, 2003 edition), the TM Drainage Study provides the calculations required for the design of the proposed backbone storm drain system including hydrologic models to quantify existing and developed site runoff to the Otay River. The Tentative Map Drainage Study relied upon the following documents and studies: 1. City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual revised 2011; 2. City of Chula Vista Storm Water Manual for Development and Redevelopment, January 2011 (hereinafter referred to as the Development Storm Water Manual); 3.

Hydromodification Management Plan, prepared for the County of San Diego, March, 2011. The Project is under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (SDRWQCB). The Project is subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements both during and after construction. NPDES requirements stem from the Federal Clean Water Act and are enforced either by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) or the SDRWQCB. Storm water runoff pollution prevention and control measures for the Project are identified in the Master Water Quality Technical Report for Otay Ranch Village 9 Tentative Map, August 10, 2011 by Hunsaker and Associates. The Master Water Quality Technical Report is herein referred to as the WQTR. 4.9.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The SPA Plan and the PFFP are required to address the following drainage issues: • Identify phased demands for drainage improvements; • Identify locations of facilities for on-site and off-site improvements; • Provide cost estimates; and • Identify financing methods. 4.9.4 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Project area currently drains to natural watercourses and finger canyons that lead southerly to the Otay River (see Exhibit 4.9.2). 4.9.5 PROPOSED FACILITIES A. STORM DRAINAGE The development of the Project includes the construction of new mixed-use, commercial and residential development, community purpose facilities, parks, schools, arterial roadways and local streets. In the pre-developed condition the Project site is divided into four natural drainage basins: Western, Central, Eastern and Hunte/Eastlake Parkway as shown on Exhibit 4.9.2. In the pre- developed condition each basin drains separately to the Otay River. In the post-developed condition the Eastern Basin and a large portion of the Western Basin are combined into the Central Basin. Nearly the entire developed Project area (approximately 900) will be within the Central Basin, which will discharge directly to the Otay River via a proposed 84-inch storm drain. This system will be extended beyond the Project boundaries to the Otay River bottom to avoid erosion of the the river bank. The storm drain discharge outlet will be provided with a section of rip-rap designed to reduce the velocity of the discharge. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.9-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 4.9 DRAINAGE The potential for scour erosion of the outlet structure by the river's flow was addressed by a geotechnical analysis.] The Project's Central Drainage Basin discharges directly to the river bottom and is currently exempt from hydromodification requirements. A future exemption determination will depend on many factors including but not limited to the project being determined to have "prior lawful approval" as of the date of construction and City of Chula Vista's water quality manual and municipal permit in existence at the time of construction. The Western and Hunte/Eastlake Parkway Basins discharge into natural drainage courses before reaching the river and therefore must be analyzed for hydromodification impacts. Pre and post project development areas and 100 year storm event flows for each basin are summarized in Table4.9.1: TABLE 4.9.1 PRE& POST-DEVELOPMENT STORM WATER FLOWS Pre-Project Condition Central Basin Eastern Basin Western (direct discharge (direct discharge Hunte/Eastlake Basin to Otay River) to Otay River) Parkway Basin Total Tributary Basins Area(acres) 168.7 59.9 75.4 59.6 363.6 100-Year Storm Q (cfs) 206.2 88.3 98.6 170 563.1 Time of concentration (min) 22.9 16.3 19.7 8.8 - Post-Development Condition Tributary Basins Area(acres) 24.4 278.6 58.6 361.6 100-Year Storm Q (cfs) 61.6 823.0 172.4 1057.0 Time of concentration (min) 10.8 11.7 8.9 - Source: Tentative Map Drainage Study for Otay Ranch Village 9 by Hunsaker and Associates Compliance with the Development Storm Water Manual requires that the Project design must incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) and Integrated Management Practices (IMPS) to address storm water quality management and flow control including Hydromodification Management, where required, in addition to storm water treatment for runoff before leaving the site. B. STORM WATER QUALITY 1. Regulations: The Project is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. NPDES requirements are contained in Section 402(p) of the Federal Clean Water I A scour analysis was done by the Project's geotechnical consultant determined that the velocity of the river channel during a 100-year storm would not adversely effect the proposed outfall system.

These requirements are implemented through permits issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) or the local Regional Water Quality Control Board in which the Project is located. In San Diego County the local board is the California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Diego Region, herein (SDRWQCB). Further, the requirements are implemented through the City of Chula Vista, which is the governing municipality for the Project. The WQTR summarizes post-construction storm water quality protection requirements for the Project and the results of the hydromodification analyses of the Western and Hunte/Eastlake Parkway discharges (Section 4.6 of the WQTR). For the purposes of post-construction storm water quality management, the Project will follow the guidelines and requirements set forth in the Development Storm Water Manual which contains the City of Chula Vista's Standard Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) requirements and SDRWQCB Order No. R9-2007-0001. Order No. R9-2007-0001 is a renewal of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. CAS0108758, "Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of Urban Runoff from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Draining the Watersheds of the County of San Diego, the Incorporated Cities of San Diego County, the San Diego Unified Port District, and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority" (Order No. R9-2007-0001, or "Municipal Storm Water Permit"), adopted by the SDRWQCB on January 24, 2007. The Development Storm Water Manual provides guidance for new development and redevelopment projects to achieve compliance with the City of Chula Vista's SUSMP. The City of Chula Vista's current SUSMP and Development Storm Water Manual requirements are based on the new Municipal Storm Water Permit adopted by the SDRWQCB, Order No. R9-2007-0001. Order No. R9-2007-0001 includes several changes to requirements for post-construction storm water management and has resulted in the modification of the SUSMP and changes to the standards for post-construction storm water management practices. Specific changes that directly affect the design of the Project include: • Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMP) Requirements: Project applicants with Priority Development Projects will be required to implement LID BMP's which will collectively minimize directly connected impervious areas and promote infiltration (Section D.l.d.(4) of Order No. R9-2007-0001). • Hydromodification — Limitations on Increases of Runoff Discharge Rates and Durations: Under Section D.1.g of Order No. R9-2007-0001, the Co-permittees will be required to prepare a Hydromodification Management Plan (HMP) and incorporate its requirements into their SUSMP's. Hydromodification refers to changes in a watershed's runoff characteristics resulting from development, together with associated morphological changes to channels receiving the runoff, such as changes in sediment transport characteristics and the hydraulic geometry (width, depth and slope) of channels. These changes result in stream bank erosion and sedimentation, leading to habitat degradation due to loss of overhead cover and loss of in-stream habitat structures. The Project will incorporate requirements for LID and hydromodification design elements in effect at the time development plans for the Project are prepared. All development within the Project will be subject to the City of Chula Vista's SUSMP at the time of grading permit issuance. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.9-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 4.9 DRAINAGE 2. Surrounding Villages in Otay Ranch: The Project is part of the larger Otay Ranch development. Therefore drainage from land outside the Project boundaries will be conducted through the Project's drainage system. Drainage from a portion of the EUC will enter the Project's storm drainage systems at the northern Project boundary. Flows from the north will be conducted in closed conduits within "A" and "B" Streets through the Project before discharging to the Otay River (see Exhibit 4.9.3). A 54" diameter underground drain pipe that conducts flows from the intersection of Eastlake and Hunte Parkways, at the northeast corner of the Project, currently outlets into a finger canyon running from north to south in the University Site. The construction of the Main Street leg of this intersection will require the modification of the current outlet by extending it by approximately 70 feet to be beyond the toe of the future fill slope of Main Street. Although this flow bypasses the Project, a hydromodification analysis was required because it is conveyed within a natural channel before discharging to the Otay River. The Western Basin flows, including run-off from SR- 125 and the west-facing Project slopes, also discharge into a natural canyon before reaching the Otay River. Since the post-development flows from the Western Basin are substantially reduced from the pre-developed condition the hydromodification analysis indicated that the potential erosive effects are greatly reduced due to proposed development of the Project. 3. Stormwater Pollution: Based on the Development Storm Water Manual, the Project as a whole can be expected to generate the following pollutants: • sediment • nutrients • heavy metals • organic compounds • trash and debris • oxygen demanding substances • oil and grease • bacteria and viruses • and pesticides The Project includes the following priority project categories listed in Table 4.9.2: "Attached Residential Development", "Commercial Development (greater than one acre), "Restaurants", "Parking Lots", and "Streets, Highways & Freeways". The Project is located in the Otay Valley Hydrologic Area within the Otay Hydrologic Unit. The corresponding number designation is 910.20 (Region `9', Hydrologic Unit `10', and Hydrologic Area `2'). The WQTR states that the Otay River Hydrologic Unit (910.20) is not listed as sensitive to any primary pollutant of concern (WQTR Section 4.2) City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.9-5 4.9 DRAINAGE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA TABLE 4.9.2 ANTICIPATED AND POTENTIAL POLLUTANTS GENERATED BY LAND USE TYPE General Pollutant Categories Trash Oxygen Bacteria Priority Project Sediment Nutrients Heavy Organic & Demanding Oil& & Pesticides Categories Metals Compounds Debris Substances Grease Viruses Detached Residential X X X X X X X Development Attached Residential X X X P(1) P(2) P X Development*.

Note that"Attached Residential Development"is subject to be updated to "a development of 10 housing units or more based on, Order No.R9- 2007-0001 **Note that"Commercial Development >100,000 ftZ"is subject to be updated to "greater than one acre"based on Order No.R92007-0001. The WQTR for the Project recommends specific site design, treatment and source control BMPs for the priority project categories. For priority projects where no primary pollutants of concern exist, those pollutants identified through the use of Table 4.9.2 shall be considered secondary pollutants of concern. For the Project as a whole, this will include every pollutant that is listed on Table 4.9.2. All individual development applications within the Project will trigger separate, or supplemental, WQTRs proposing appropriate on-site LID BMPs. Lot-specific structural BMPs for the commercial sites, attached residential development, parks, CPF sites and schools shall be implemented as Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.9-6 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 4.9 DRAINAGE these lots are developed and shall meet the numeric sizing standards set forth in the Development Storm Water Manual. 4. Treatment Control BMP's: The Project WQTR focuses on Bio-retention Integrated Management Practices (IMP), as described in Section 5.3 of the Project's WQTR, and site design LID principles, described in Chapter 7, for post-construction storm water management throughout the Project. The IMP treatment control BMP is described as bio-retention tree wells and grass swales, normally consisting of a sand bed, ponding area, organic layer planting soil and plants. Detention and slow filtration through biologically active soil in the tree wells and swales will provide treatment as well as managing discharge rates and durations. As development plans for individual parcels are prepared, the same procedures described in the WQTR shall be followed to design LID BMP's within the parcel. All development within the Project will be subject to the City of Chula Vista's SUSMP at the time of grading permit issuance. 5. Source Control BMPs: WQTR Chapter 6 describes typical source control BMPs which will be implemented with subsequent individual priority projects within Village 9. 6. Operation and Maintenance Plans (O&M Plans): In general, O&M Plans will be prepared to identify the designated responsible parties to manage the LID BMP's. These plans will also describe training requirements, operating schedule, maintenance frequency, routine service schedule, specific maintenance activities, copies of resource agency permits (if applicable), record keeping requirements, and any other necessary activities required by the SUSMP. There may be one or more O&M Plans for the Project as needed, depending on the delegation of maintenance responsibilities. For example a separate maintenance plan would be required for BMPs located within the public right-of-way and others for BMPs within commercial areas or common interest developments. The WQTR Chapter 9 outlines maintenance responsibilities and mechanisms including the proposed establishment of Community Facilities Districts (CFD's) that will be responsible for funding and maintenance for public storm water BMP's. Chapter 9 also provides estimates of maintenance costs for the treatment control BMP such as the bio-retention IMPS. The maintenance responsibilities for all BMPs will be the subject of agreements between the City and priority project developers that shall obligate future landowners to maintain BMP through recorded covenants and easements running with land. 4.9.6 FINANCING DRAINAGE FACILITIES A. ON-SITE FACILITIES City policy requires that all master planned developments provide for the conveyance of storm waters throughout the Project to City engineering standards. The Project will be required to construct, or secure the construction of, all on-site facilities, as well as those that have not yet been identified, through the processing of a subdivision map. In newly developing areas east of 1-805, it is the City's policy that development projects assume the burden of funding all maintenance activities associated with water quality facilities. As such, the City will enter into an agreement with the Project applicant(s) whereby maintenance of water quality facilities will be assured by one of the following funding methods: 1. A property owner's association that would raise funds through fees paid by each property owner; or 2. A Community Facilities District (CFD) established over the entire Project to raise funds through the creation of a special tax for maintenance of public drainage facilities.

OFF-SITE FACILITIES Off-site drainage facilities required for Village 9 include the following: 1. As storm drain pipe from the southerly Project site to an approved outfall at the Otay River bottom, terminating in an appropriate energy dissipater, and; 2. All facilities required by the Chula Vista SUSMP in conjunction with any off-site road construction that the developer is responsible for as mitigation of direct impacts, or roadways assumed in the Project's Traffic Impact Analysis "to be built by others" that the developer must construct in order to continue development of the Project. 4.9.7 THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE A. The development of the Project, if conducted in accordance with proposed mitigation measures,will not adversely impact the existing natural drainage conditions. B. Prior to issuance of any grading permit for the Project, or any land development permit, including clearing and grading, the Project Applicant(s) shall submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) and obtain coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for Construction Activity from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). The permit requires development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Monitoring Plan that shall be submitted to the City Engineer and the Director of Public Works. The SWPPP shall be incorporated into the grading and drainage plans and shall provide for implementation of construction and post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) on site to reduce the amount of sediments and pollutants in construction and post-construction surface runoff before it is discharged into off-site storm water facilities. The grading plans shall note the conditions requiring a SWPPP and Monitoring Plans. C. Prior to issuance of each grading permit, a detailed drainage system design study shall be prepared in accordance with the City of Chula Vista's standards and shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer. D. Permanent treatment controls BMP's shall be included as part of the Project in accordance with Section 3c of the City of Chula Vista SUSMP, the City of Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual, 2011, and the Project's final WQTR to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. E. Except for individual single family lots, plans for development of individual parcels such as attached residential, retail, commercial and/or CPF, schools and parks shall include a supplemental WQTR submitted to for approval by the City Engineer. The supplemental WQTR shall: include on-site storm water management measures to be implemented with the development of each parcel, verify numeric sizing of structural control BMP's to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and reference the Project's final WQTR for information relevant to the overall Project's design concepts (e.g., downstream conditions of concern and LID BMP principles) to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Currently a separate WQTR is not required for individual single family lots, however each lot is required to have individual storm water BMP's. For single family residential storm water management measures (such as individual bio-retention IMPs, if proposed) specific calculations for typical single family lots shall be provided with the appropriate precise Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.9-8 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 4.9 DRAINAGE grading or design review plans for approval by the City Engineer. Notwithstanding the above all planning areas, including those comprised entirely of single family lots shall meet the Storm Water Manual's requirements at the time of issuance of a grading permit. F. Prior to the approval of the first Grading permit for the Project, Drainage Management Areas (DMA) shall be delineated for all land uses and/or planning areas of the Project. The DMAs will include not only streets within the parcel, but also buildings, parking lots or structures, and other areas. As each DMA would either drain to a designated LID BMP(s) features, or be designed to treat and/or retain storm water within the DMA, the specific design of bio-retention IMPS, including their proximity to structures and how runoff would be collected, retained and/or discharged from them shall be subject to approval by the geotechnical engineer for the Project. The evaluation shall be conducted on a lot-by-lot basis after rough grading is completed and prior to constructing any improvements or structures. All development within the project shall be subject to the City of Chula Vista's SUSMP (Section 3 of the Development Storm Water Manual) at the time of grading permit issuance unless otherwise addressed in a development agreement. G. Any Applicant for a development permit within the Project shall monitor and mitigate any erosion in downstream locations that may occur as a result of on-site development. H. Any Applicant for a development permit within the Project shall comply with the City of Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual Limitation of Grading requirements, which limit the area that can be cleared or graded and left exposed at one time to amount of acreage that the owner/contractor can adequately protect prior to a predicted rainstorm, but in no event greater than 100 acres, unless expansion of a disturbed area is specifically approved by the Director of Public Works. Soil stabilization and sediment control materials shall be maintained on-site sufficient to protect the disturbed soil areas. Under this requirement, grading shall be phased at larger sites. For example, it may be necessary to deploy and maintain soil stabilization, erosion and sediment control BMPs in areas that are not completed, but are not actively being worked, before the additional grading is done or the next phase of grading is begun. I. As a result of the NPDES Municipal Permit, Order No. R9-2007-0001, and phasing of the Project development, the Applicant(s) shall comply with the City's Hydromodification Criteria or Hydrograph Modification Management Plan, as applicable, addressed regionally at the Project's SPA Plan level concurrent with Grading and Improvement Plans for major streets. J. Prior to the issuance of any building permit resulting in an increase in permanent impermeable area, each Applicant proposing to develop within the Project is required to develop and implement a post-construction SUSMP and implement BMP's in accordance with the most recent regulations at the time of Grading or Building Permit issuance, unless otherwise addressed in a development agreement. In particular, Applicants are required to comply with the requirements of the NPDES Municipal Permit, Order No. R9-2007-0001, and the City of Chula Vista Development Storm Water Manual dated January 2011, or any re-issuances thereof. Specifically, Applicant(s) shall incorporate into the proposed project design, structural on-site design features to address Site Design and Treatment Control (BMP's) as well as LID and HMP requirements. Any of said requirements may be waived if the Applicant(s) demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, that regional facilities exist to address such requirements.

Provides an overview and evaluation of local development projects approved during the prior year to determine to what extent they implemented measures designed to foster air quality improvement pursuant to relevant regional and local air quality improvement strategies; 2. Identifies whether the City's development regulations, policies and procedures relate to, and/or are consistent with, current applicable federal, state and regional air quality regulations and programs; 3. Identifies non-development-specific activities being undertaken by the City toward compliance with relevant federal, state and local regulations regarding air quality, and whether the city has achieved compliance. The City shall provide a copy of said report to the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) for review and comment. In addition, the APCD shall report on overall regional and local air quality conditions, the status of regional air quality improvement implementation efforts under the regional air quality strategy and related federal and state programs, and the effect of those efforts/programs on the city of Chula Vista and local planning and development activities. The City also provides the APCD with an annual 12-18 month development forecast and requests an evaluation of its impact on current and future air quality management programs, along with recent air quality data. The growth forecast and APCD response letters shall be provided to the GMOC for inclusion in its annual review. 4.10.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN The City of Chula Vista has a Growth Management Element (GME) in its General Plan. One of the stated objectives of the GME is to be proactive in its planning to meet federal and state air quality standards. This objective is incorporated into the GME's action program. Although adopted in 1989, the GME has remained current by not only requiring air pollution reduction measures identified in 1989 but also"measures developed in the future." To implement the GME, the Chula Vista City Council has adopted the Growth Management Program that requires Air Quality Improvement Plans (AQIP) for major development projects (50 residential units or commercial/industrial projects with equivalent air quality impacts). Title 19 (Sec. 19.09.050B) of the Chula Vista Municipal Code requires that a SPA submittal contain an AQIP. The AQIP shall include an assessment of how the project has been designed to reduce emissions as well as identify mitigation measures. The Chula Vista City Council adopted the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan on November 14, 2000. The plan included implementing measures regarding transportation and energy efficient land use planning and building construction measures for new development. In this City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.10-1 4.10 AIR QUALITY OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA Plan, it was recognized that the City's efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from new development are directly related to energy conservation and air quality efforts. As a result, the City initiated a pilot study to identify and evaluate the relative effectiveness and costs of applying various design and energy conservation features in new development projects. Based on the pilot study and other data, the City has developed guidelines for AQIPs. These guidelines require that a project be evaluated using the Chula Vista CO2 INDEX Model, or an approved alternative modeling software. The City's revised AQIP Guidelines lists 16 key indicators and threshold values for each indicator that are evaluated by the CO2 INDEX Model. The INDEX model results for the Village 9 SPA Plan Project (the "Project") are included in the Project's SPA Plan AQIP in Appendix B; Table 4.10.1 is a summary of the INDEX model results for the Project. The Project's performance in comparison with the INDEX model thresholds rests on the following aspects of the SPA Plan's design: Land Use • Compact Development- minimize sprawl. • Density-intensity of land use, particularly near transit nodes and mixed-use areas. • Diversity- mix and variety of land uses. • Orientation toward pedestrian and bicycles. • Orientation toward transit. Buildings & Landscaping • Energy efficient building construction- Reduce energy use by exceeding Title 24 building standards. • Solar Use-Solar thermal applications and power generation. • Vegetation - Uptakes air pollutants and greenhouse gases and provides shading to reduce temperatures. Transportation Important components of Transportation Action Measures include dense street networks, completeness of sidewalks and direct routes to activity nodes. • Pedestrian Facilities-Circulation design and improvements for pedestrian use. • Bicycle Facilities-System design and improvements to encourage bicycle use. • Transit Facilities-Transit system design and improvements to circulation system. Infrastructure • Water use - Land planning that reduces water consumption (see Water Conservation Plan as Appendix G of SPA Plan for details). Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.10-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.10 AIR QUALITY Upon completion of the INDEX modeling, the consultant providing the INDEX modeling services shall provide written confirmation to the City's Director of Development Services that the project as proposed represents improvements at or beyond the City's performance threshold scores established for each of the 16 required key indicators. In the event that a project is unable to comply with all key indicator thresholds due to unique circumstances involving project design and/or pre-existing environmental/land-use conditions, the developer may request, in writing to the City's Development Services Director, a waiver to exclude those key indicators that, in the developer's opinion, are not applicable to their project. The discretion to exclude certain key indicators from project evaluation rests exclusively with the City's Development Services Director.

The City of Chula Vista shall continually review development plans at each stage of design and construction approval. These reviews will assure that the project is developed in a manner consistent with the SPA Plan and which meets the AQIP requirements. 4.10.3 THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS The City continues to provide a development forecast to the APCD in conformance with the threshold standard. The SPA Plan AQIP include measures to enhance air quality including but not limited to the following, refer to the Village 9 SPA Draft EIR and the AQIP for complete air quality impact mitigation measures: 1) Energy Efficiency Standards: including but not limited to compliance with the City and States' required Green Building Programs, and compliance with the State of California AB-32 legislation that will contribute to improvements to air quality and reduction in greenhouse gas impacts. The Village 9 SPA plan requires that new commercial buildings be constructed to meet Title 24, Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code; California Green Building Code Title 24, Part 11 (CALGreen); the City of Chula Vista's Green Building Standards (CVMC Chapter 15.12); and the City's energy efficiency requirements (CVMC 15.26.030). 2) New Construction Recycling Plan, including providing information and adequate space for recycling activities; 3) Reduction of particulate emissions through construction practices that control fugitive dust, minimize simultaneous operation of construction vehicles and equipment, and use low-polluting equipment to meet the AQMB (Air Quality Management Board) standards. 4) Application of Tier 2+ Blue Sky engines in equipment used in grading and heavy construction operations; 5) Use of High-Volume, Low-Pressure (HVSP) painting systems and Low VOC paints and other construction-level best management practices to reduce emissions Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.10-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.11 CIVIC CENTER 4.11 CIVIC CENTER 4.11.1 CITY THRESHOLD STANDARDS There are no adopted threshold standards for Civic Center facilities; therefore no Service Analysis is required. The purpose of this section is to describe provide information on facility funding through the collection of the Public Facility DIF. 4.11.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS Major renovations to the Civic Center Complex in accordance with a Master Plan were completed in 2008, consisting of a new City Council Chambers and City Hall, and Public Service Buildings North and South. The current Civic Center Complex was primarily funded by development fees (approximately 890). 4.11.3 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS The need for the Civic Center cannot be easily related to population figures or acres of commercial and industrial land, which will be developed in the future. The original Civic Center buildings were inadequate due to an overall lack of space and poor space utilization. This condition worsened as employee numbers and their workloads increased in response to demands for services generated in part by new development. Phases I and II of the Civic Center Complex expansion are complete. City Hall facilities have been renovated and now include a new state of the art Council Chambers. Other work included conversion of the former Police Station as additional office space and the complete remodeling of the Public Services Building. The Master Plan calls for further expansions in Phases III and IV, which are expected to keep pace with demand for additional work space as the City continues to grow. 4.11.4 FINANCING CIVIC CENTER FACILITIES The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) was last updated by the Chula Vista City Council on June 28, 2013. PFDIF is adjusted approximately every October 11t pursuant to Ordinance 3050, which was adopted by the City Council on November 7, 2006.

The purpose of this section is to provide information on facility funding through the collection of the Public Facility Development Impact Fee (PFDIF). 4.12.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The current Corporation Yard was previously an SDG&E equipment and repair facility. The City has renovated and added new improvements for the maintenance and repair of city-owned equipment. This facility consists of a renovated building that serves as the administration building for the Corporation Yard. Existing shop buildings have been renovated and new shops have been added as well as a new maintenance building. The Corporation Yard includes parking for employees, city vehicles and equipment. In addition, a Bus Wash/Fuel Island/CNG and associated equipment have been added. 4.12.3 ADEQUACY ANALYSIS The need for expansion of the Corporation Yard is indirectly related to the growth in population, and the expansion of developed areas in Chula Vista. The increase in street miles, sewer mains, storm drainage systems, additional police cars and fire apparatus, new parks and public buildings all require more equipment and maintenance space as well as more space for storage and the administration of increased numbers of employees. The need for the larger Corporation Yard was specifically related to projected new development. While there are no immediate plans for further expansion of the Corporation Yard, the City has ongoing debt service obligations due to the previous expansion. A portion of the PFDIF revenues are used for the Corporation Yard debt service. 4.12.4 FINANCING CORPORATION YARD FACILITIES The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) was last updated by the Chula Vista City Council on June 28, 2013. PFDIF is adjusted approximately every October I It. The project is within the boundaries of the PFDIF Program and, therefore, the project will be subject to the payment of the fee at the rate in effect at the time building permits are issued. At the current fee rate, the project Corporate Yard Fee obligation at build-out is $1,586,349. (see Table 4.12.1).

There is no adopted threshold standard for these facilities. The information regarding these capital items is being provided in this section of the PFFP to aid the City and the Developer in calculating the PFDIF fees to be paid by the Village 9 Project. 4.13.2 SERVICE ANALYSIS The public facilities identified above are described in the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee, March 2006 Update report. 4.13.3 EXISTING CONDITIONS The City continues to collect funds from building permit issuance through the PFDIF program for deposit to an account associated with Administration costs. The administration costs are associated with the PFDIF program itself and the costs associated with the Growth Management Oversight Committee process. The PFDIF is not currently collected for records management, telecommunications, computer systems and GIS. Funding of capital improvements in these areas needed to serve new development are currently incorporated into the PFDIF fee components of the various services that would use the specific improvements, such as Civic Center, Police and Fire Suppression. 4.13.4 FINANCING ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES The PFDIF was updated by the Chula Vista City Council on November 19, 2005 by adoption of Ordinance 2887. The Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (PFDIF) is adjusted approximately every October I It and was most recently updated on September 24, 2012.

Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.13-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE 4.14.1 OVERVIEW The City will ensure the appropriate public facilities financing mechanisms are utilized to fund the acquisition, construction and maintenance of public facilities required to support the planned development of the Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA project (Project) in compliance with the City's Growth Management Program. Public facilities are generally provided or financed in one of the following three ways: 1. Subdivision Exaction: Developer constructed and financed as a condition of project approval. 2. Development Impact Fee: Funded through the collection of an impact fee. Facilities are constructed by the public agency or developer constructed with a reimbursement or credit against specific fees. 3. Debt Financing: Funded using one of several debt finance mechanisms. Facilities are constructed by the public agency or developer. It is anticipated that all three methods will be utilized for the Project to construct and finance public facilities. 4.14.2 SUBDIVISION EXACTIONS Neighborhood level public improvements will be developed simultaneously with related residential and non-residential subdivisions. Through the Subdivision Map Act, it is the responsibility of the developer to provide for all local street, utility, park and recreation improvements. The use of subdivision conditions and exactions, where appropriate, will ensure that the construction of neighborhood facilities is timed with actual development. The imposition of subdivision conditions and exactions does not preclude the use of other public facilities financing mechanisms to finance the public improvement, when appropriate. 4.14.3 DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAMS Development Impact Fees are imposed by various governmental agencies, consistent with State law, to contribute to the financing of capital facilities improvements within the City of Chula Vista. The distinguishing factor between a fee and a subdivision exaction is that exactions are requested of a specific developer for a specific project whereas fees are levied on all development projects throughout the City or benefit area pursuant to an established formula and in compliance with State law. The Project, through policy decisions of the City of Chula Vista and other governing agencies, is subject to fees established to help defray the cost of facilities that benefit the project and areas beyond this specific project. These fees may include but not be limited to: 1. Eastern Chula Vista TDIF — established to provide financing for circulation element road projects of regional significance in the area east of I-805. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.14-1 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN 2. Traffic Signal Fee—the City adopted a traffic signal installation program for participation by private developers. In accordance with CVMC Chapter 15.51 developers shall install required traffic signals associated with circulation element streets or pay the traffic signal fees. 3. Public Facilities Development Impact Fee — Public Facilities DIF established to collect funds for Civic Center Facilities, Police Facilities, Corporation Yard, Libraries, and Fire Suppression System.. 4. Park Acquisition and Development Fee — PAD Fees have been established to pay for the acquisition and development of park facilities in accordance with CVMC Chapter 17.10. 5. Salt Creek Basin Development Impact Fee — to pay for constructing sewer improvements within the Salt Creek basin. 6. Otay Water District Fees — It should be noted that the Water District may require the formation of or annexation to an existing improvement district or creation of some other finance mechanism which may result in specific fees being waived. 7. Sweetwater Unified High School District and the Chula Vista Elementary School — The State of California legislates school fees and authorizes school districts to impose facility mitigation exactions on new development as a way to address increasing enrollment caused by that development. 4.14.4 DEBT FINANCE PROGRAMS The city preferred land-based debt finance program is the Community Facilities District or CFD's. Both school districts have implemented Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts to finance school facilities. MELLO-Roos COMMUNITY FACILITIES ACT OF 1982 The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 authorizes formation of community facilities districts, which impose special taxes to provide the financing of certain public facilities or services. Facilities that can be provided under the Mello-Roos Act include the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of the following: 1. Local park, recreation, or parkway facilities; 2. Elementary and secondary school sites and structures; 3. Libraries; 4. Any other governmental facilities that legislative bodies are authorized to construct, own or operate including certain improvements to private property. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.14-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE 4.14.5 OTHER METHODS USED TO FINANCE FACILITIES GENERAL FUND The City of Chula Vista's general fund pays for many public services throughout the City. Those facilities and services identified as being funded by general fund sources represent those that will benefit not only the residents of the proposed project, but also Chula Vista residents throughout the City. In most cases, other financing mechanisms are available to initially construct or provide the facility or service. STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING Although rarely available to fund an entire project, Federal and State financial and technical assistance programs have been available to public agencies, in particular the public school districts. DEDICATIONS Dedication of sites by developers for public capital facilities is a common financing tool used by many cities. In the case of the project, the following public sites are proposed to be dedicated: 1. Roads (if public) 2. Public parks 3. Open space and public trail systems HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS While not a public facility financing method per se, one or more Community Homeowner Associations may be established by the developer or successor owners to manage, operate and maintain private facilities and common areas within the project. DEVELOPER REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS Certain facilities that are off-site of project and/or provide regional benefits may be constructed in conjunction with the development of the project. In such instances, developer reimbursement agreements will be executed to provide for a future payback to the developer for the additional cost of these facilities. Future developments are required to pay back their fair share of the costs for the shared facility when development occurs. SPECIAL AGREEMENTYDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT This category includes special development programs for financing construction of special public facilities. It also includes any other special arrangements between the City and the developer such as credits against fees, waiver of fees, timing for payment of fees, or charges for the construction of specific facilities. A development agreement can play an essential role in the implementation of the Public Facilities Financing Plan. The Public Facilities Financing Plan clearly details all public facility responsibilities and assures that the construction of all necessary public improvements will be City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.14-3 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN appropriately phased with actual development, while the development agreement identifies the obligations and requirements of both parties. 4.14.6 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE POLICIES The following finance policies were included and approved with the Growth Management Program to maintain a financial management system that will be implemented consistently when considering future development applications. These policies will enable the City to effectively manage its fiscal resources in response to the demands placed on the City by future growth. 1. Prior to receiving final approval, developers shall demonstrate and guarantee that compliance is maintained with the City's adopted threshold standards. 2. The Capital Improvement Program Budget will be consistent with the goals and objectives of the Growth Management Program. The Capital Improvement Program Budget establishes the timing for funding of all fee related public improvements. 3. The priority and timing of public facility improvements identified in the various City fee programs shall be made at the sole discretion of the City Council. 4. Priority for funding from the City's various fee programs shall be given to those projects which facilitate the logical extension or provision of public facilities as defined in the Growth Management Program. 5. Fee credits, reimbursement agreements, developer agreements or public financing mechanisms shall be considered only when it is in the public interest to use them or these financing methods are needed to rectify an existing facility threshold deficiency. Such action shall not induce growth by prematurely extending or upgrading public facilities. 6. All fee credit arrangements or reimbursement agreements will be made based upon the City's plans for the timing and funding of public facilities contained in the Capital Improvement Program Budget. 7. Public facility improvements made ahead of the City's plans to construct the facilities will result in the need for additional operating and maintenance funds. Therefore all such costs associated with the facility construction shall become the responsibility of the developer until such time as the City had previously planned the facility improvement to be made. 4.14.7 CUMULATIVE DEBT The City of Chula Vista has an established policy limiting the maximum debt (that may be financed by a special tax or assessment) to be placed on a residential dwelling unit to an additional one percent above the property tax. This policy was restated in the adopted Growth Management Program. Like many other cities, Chula Vista has long understood that it is not the only agency that can utilize public finance mechanisms and, therefore, cannot always guarantee that the total debt will remain at or below a maximum of 2 percent of the valuation of for-sale residential property. As a result, the City makes an effort to coordinate its debt finance programs with the other special districts (school and water), which provide service to the residents of Chula Vista, to ensure that the cumulative debt does not become excessive. Coordination is also necessary to Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.14-4 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE guarantee all public facilities needed to support a development can be financed and constructed as needed. The total land-secured debt capacity for Village 9 is shown in Table 4.14.1, it is found by: 1) totaling the assessed value of residential, commercial and office property;2) estimating land value based on the assumption that the land value at the time of appraisal prior to formation of the district is approximately 200 of the build-out valuation; 3) then applying a 4:1 value-to-loan ratio,which is also City policy for land-secured financing. The maximum bonded debt for Village 9 is therefore approximately $74 million. Table 4.14.1 also calculates the maximum annual debt service for-sale residential due to the 2% cap by subtracting from 2%the effective property tax rate as determined by the County Tax Collector for the tax rate area (1.08133%). The maximum annual debt service that the for-sale residential property may take on is approximately$8.5 million. This analysis assumes that 750 of the multi-family is for-sale (this same assumption was made in the Fiscal Impact Analysis, Section 5 of the PFFP). Assuming that 630 of the bonded debt total is applicable to for-sale residential (based on the proportion of total assessed valuation) the annual debt service that would apply to for-sale residential, under various interest rate and bond term scenarios, is presented in Table 4.14.2. Since the annual debt service under the least favorable scenario is well below the maximum allowable debt service under the 2% cap rule, the limiting factor to the total bond capacity is the land value itself (note that school facilities financing using via a Mello-Roos district must also be considered). The actual bond amount is therefore highly dependent on the land value prior to formation of the district and issuance of bonds. However, the 20% assumption above is conservative given that the land component is typically 300 or more of the value of real estate with improvements and appraisals for land-based financing usually assume super-pads with roads and utilities in and sold as ready for fine-grading. Table 4.14.3 identifies approximately $103 million as the estimated cost of facilities that may qualify for debt financing. This amount is about 60% more than what may be financed as shown on Table 4.14.2. Therefore, there is insufficient revenue capacity available to finance all of the improvements listed in Table 4.14.3, and the City will likely need to prioritize which projects may be financed by community facilities districts. The Development Services Department generally requires the preparation of a financing district feasibility plan for the build-out of a master planned community prior to initiation of the first district in order to determine the debt capacity limits and benefit zones related to using public financing to fund infrastructure improvements.

Therefore, in accordance with the City's policy, the bond proceeds analysis above does not account for special taxes or assessments for maintenance. In reality, the levying of taxes or assessments for maintenance of public facilities is an encumbrance against property that is superior to bonded debt and therefore must be disclosed in any issuance of bonds for financing of facilities such as those listed in Table 4.14.3 above. The resulting effect of such an Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.14-6 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE encumbrance, which places an added burden on the homeowners' ability to meet their debt obligations may lead to an increase in the cost of bonded debt through higher interest rates, which in turn will reduce the net bond proceeds. The Village 9 Project may be conditioned to form, or be annexed into one or more maintenance districts for parks, open space, and storm water management or other purposes. In which case, the bond debt proceeds as described above may need to be re-evaluated. 4.14.9 LIFECYCLE COST ANALYSIS Section 19.09.060 Analysis subsection F (2) of the Growth Management Ordinance requires the following: "...The inventory shall include Life Cycle Cost ("LCC") projections for each element in 19.09.060(E)...as they pertain to City fiscal responsibility. The LCC projections shall be for estimated life cycle for each element analyzed. The model used shall be able to identify and estimate initial and recurring life cycle costs for the elements..." BACKGROUND The following material presents information on the general aspects of life cycle cost analysis as well as its specific application to the City of Chula Vista operations. The discussion regarding the general benefits and process of LCC is meant to provide a common base of understanding upon which further analysis can take place. Life cycle costing (LCC) is a method of calculating the total cost of asset ownership over the life span of the asset. Initial costs and all subsequent expected costs of significance are included in the life cycle cost analysis as well as disposal value and any other quantifiable benefits to be derived as a result of owning the asset. Operating and maintenance costs over the life of an asset often times far exceed initial costs and must be factored into the (decision) process. Life cycle cost analysis should not be used in each and every purchase of an asset. The process itself carries a cost and therefore can add to the cost of the asset. Life Cycle Cost analysis can be justified only in those cases in which the cost of the analysis can be more than offset by the savings derived through the purchase of the asset. Four major factors which may influence the economic feasibility of applying LCC analysis are: 1. Energy Intensiveness — LCC should be considered when the anticipated energy costs of the purchase is expected to be large throughout its life. 2. Life Expectancy—for assets with long lives (i.e., greater than five years), costs other than purchase price take on added importance. For assets with short lives, the initial costs become a more important factor. 3. Efficiency — The efficiency of operation and maintenance can have significant impact on overall costs. LCC is beneficial when savings can be achieved through reduction of maintenance costs. 4. Investment Cost — as a general rule, the larger the investment the more important LCC analysis becomes. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 4.14-7 4.14 PUBLIC FACILITY FINANCE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA PLAN The four major factors listed above are not, however, necessary ingredients for life cycle cost analysis. A quick test to determine whether life cycle costing would apply to a purchase is to ask whether there are any post-purchase costs associated with it. Life cycle costs are a combination of initial and post-purchase costs. APPLICATIONS FOR LCC ANALYSIS The City of Chula Vista utilizes the concepts of life cycle cost analysis in determining the most cost effective purchase of capital equipment as well as in the determination of replacement costs for a variety of rolling stock. City staff uses LCC techniques in the preparation of the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Budget (CIP) as well as in the Capital Outlay sections of the annual Operating Budget. In addition to these existing processes, the City should require the use of LCC analysis prior to or concurrent with the design of public facilities required by new development. Such a requirement will assist in the determination of the most cost effective selection of public facilities. Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan City of Chula Vista Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan January, 2014 4.14-8 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 FISCAL ANALYSIS 5.1 THRESHOLD STANDARD 1) The GMOC shall be provided with an annual fiscal impact report, which provides an evaluation of the impacts of growth on the City, both in terms of operations and capital improvements. This report should evaluate actual growth over the previous 12-month period, as well as projected growth over the next 12-18 month period, and 3-5 year period. 2) The GMOC shall be provided with an annual "economic monitoring report" which provides an analysis of development impact fees collected and expended over the previous 12-month period. 5.2 FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION The City of Chula Vista does not currently have a "Master Plan" that addresses fiscal issues. However, the City has adopted a standard approach to modeling fiscal impacts due to proposed land use changes to the General Plan. The SPA Fiscal Impact Analysis Framework report (FIA Framework), completed by Economic Research Associates (now AECOM) in February 2008, presents the basic methodology and a consistent approach to the evaluation of SPA proposals in the City of Chula Vista. The FIA Framework is a tool intended to provide a consistent evaluation of fiscal impacts. This consistency is achieved by a procedural combination of the following factors, which are common to every fiscal impact analysis (FIA): • Land use variables-use, density, population, employment • Market variables-real estate values and market competitiveness • The City's current cost and revenue patterns-net city costs and discretionary revenues The inputs to a FIA for a specific project will require adjustments of these variables to adapt the framework model to that specific project and to incorporate current data. This FIA analysis for the Village 9 SPA is based on the FIA Framework model updated and adapted by PMC for Village 9. This FIA identifies the estimated fiscal impact that the Village 9 project will have on the operation and maintenance budgets of the City of Chula Vista (General Fund). The data and inputs used in this FIA fiscal analysis section of this PFFP are derived from the following sources: • Village 9 Site Utilization Summary of land-uses (draft dated November, 2013) • City-wide land use data current as of February 2011 • Departmental cost allocation factors by land-use developed by the City using budget data of fiscal years between 2005 and 2009. • Cost allocation factors have not been adjusted for inflation since the 2008-09 fiscal year. Additional supporting fiscal data is presented in the FIA tables in Appendix A. 5.3 PROJECT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS The City of Chula Vista Growth Management Program requires the SPA Plan and the PFFP to prepare a phased fiscal/economic report comparing expected annual revenues derived from the project to expected annual costs of providing public services to the SPA, including maintenance and operations of associated public facilities. City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 5-1 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 FISCAL ANALYSIS 5.4 FISCAL ANALYSIS OF PROJECT Village 9 is proposed as a mixed-use development with a range of residential densities from 3 units per acre to 60 units per acre and up to 4,000 total dwelling units (266 single family and 3,734 multi-family units). The SPA Site Utilization Plan is summarized in Table 5.1 and shows that the project also proposes up to 1.5 million square feet of office and retail space. Other land uses include an elementary school, 5 acres for community purpose facilities and 28 acres of parklands (including 2 town square parks, a neighborhood park and pedestrian parks). Table 5.2 describes the development program and the projected absorption schedule. Table 5.2 provides absorption of the project in terms of: • Land use types (as per Table 5.1) • Residential units by type (single or multi-family) • Incremental population growth • Incremental employment growth The absorption schedule is expected to extend for a 20-year period and is based on Village 9 Traffic Impact Analysis. 5.5 METHODOLOGY Village 9 SPA FIA generally follows the methodology found in the FIA Framework in order to provide a consistent method for evaluating of the fiscal impacts of Chula Vista's specific plans. The FIA Framework and the Village 9 SPA FIA rely on the City of Chula Vista's budget to identify and allocate variable revenues and costs that grow proportionally with incremental development. Revenues such as property taxes, Vehicle License Fees (VLF), and sales tax receipts grow with development. The costs associated with development, which include but are not limited to public safety, facility maintenance, administration, library and park operations, also increase along with development growth. The project report for the FIA Framework outlines the methods to calculate and apply the revenue, cost and inflationary factors used in fiscal analysis of specific plans. The original FIA Framework was built using the City of Chula Vista's Adopted Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget and has been updated with the 2008-09 budget data. MODELING STEPS The fiscal impact modeling steps outlined in the FIA Framework are as follows: Step 1 - Create a project absorption matrix by land use type (acres and square foot), dwelling units, population and employment; Step 2- Derive annual fiscal costs using the incremental per unit cost factors developed initially for the SPA FIA Framework and updated by inflation factors and budget trends; Step 3- Derive public safety costs with density coefficient adjustments; Step 4- Derive annual fiscal costs as a summation of Step 2 and Step 3; City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 5-2 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 FISCAL ANALYSIS Step 5- Create an updated assessed valuation (AV) absorption matrix for the project using the existing AV calculation methodology in the FIA Framework or project specific assumptions; Step 6- Use special revenue models to calculate; 1.

For Village 9 SPA, the FIA Framework was modified to better account for (1) development program units (2) public safety costs, (3) property tax, and (4) sales tax. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM UNITS The SPA Fiscal Impact Framework analysis for non-residential land uses is based on the estimated acres in each land use. The Village 9 SPA Site Utilization Plan is currently presented with a range of total dwelling units, acreage and commercial floor area (see Table 5.1). The FIA focuses on the high end of the range (4,000 residential units, 300,000 sq. ft. of retail and 1,200,000 sq. ft. of office) to analyze the fiscal impacts from full build-out. The square footage of retail and office space is converted to acreage using a floor area ratio (FAR). PUBLIC SAFETY COSTS — POLICE SERVICES Public safety costs in the SPA Fiscal Impact Framework are calculated proportionally based on land use acreage for commercial uses, while residential uses are calculated proportionally based on dwelling units and people-density (persons per acre). Police service costs are calculated based on City of Chula Vista standard factors with no adjustment for density (the analysis uses the city-wide cost per dwelling unit factor in 2010 dollars throughout the build-out period). The FIA Framework applies a person per acre density factor to adjust the public safety costs per dwelling unit. The density adjustment was not made for the Village 9 SPA Plan. There is also no adjustment made for mixed-use planning areas: the commercial and residential police service cost components of the mixed-use parcels are effectively added together. PUBLIC SAFETY COSTS — FIRE SERVICES In the FIA Framework, fire costs are also adjusted to directly increase with residential persons per acre density. However, as for Police Services, the cost factor per dwelling unit for Fire was not adjusted in the Village 9 analysis. PROPERTY TAX Property tax revenues, as shown in the city adopted budgets, have continued to decrease over the past few years even after the end of the 2007-09 recession. But total assessed valuation is beginning to stabilize and should resume positive growth in the coming year. The negative effects of the severe downturn in the housing market during the recession continue to adversely influence property tax revenues, especially from residential property. These include mortgage loan foreclosures, lower property values, and lower property transfers. Lease rates, which also declined for retail and office space, have been slow to recover according to data obtained from commercial real estate firms. Finally, although the economic recovery has been underway 4 years now, household incomes have not grown significantly, a factor which affects home sales and the prices families may pay for homes. While the Village 9 FIA generally follows the original FIA framework for property tax calculations, the real estate market factors used in the FIA reflect recent values for both residential and non- City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 5-5 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 5 FISCAL ANALYSIS residential properties in the Otay Ranch area. There is a lag, however, between construction of new homes and non-residential space and when the new property values are reflected in assessed valuations and property tax revenue. A one-year lag between completion of construction and collection of property taxes has been built into the FIA model; this has the effect of reducing revenues during the development absorption period. ESTIMATES OF ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUES The FIA makes certain assumptions for the initial sales price of for-sale units (primarily single family homes and condominiums) and the market value of rental and lease properties (apartments and commercial space). These prices and market values are the assessed values used in the FIA to estimate property tax revenues. The assessed values are presented in Table 8 in the Appendix. Commercial property is given as assessed value per acre, while residential property is in AV per dwelling unit. The estimate of the initial sales price and market value is critical since these numbers are inflated each successive year to estimate total assessed value. The projected average sales price for new single family homes in the Project is given in Appendix Table 7 as $488,600 per unit. For sale condominiums are given a sales price of $284,700. Renter occupied units are assigned an initial market value of $214,000. Price and valuation data for residential property in the Southeast Chula Vista market from different sources were researched to derive these initial values. For example, Zillow.com indicated the value index for the average single family home in the entire Otay Ranch area to be $431,600 in March, 2013, an increase of 14% from March, 2012. The average price in Otay Ranch Village 5, an original phase of the Otay Ranch, was somewhat lower at $406,900. The average single family home value index for all of Chula Vista was $378,600. For comparison, the DataQuick/Union Tribune Zip Code website reported the median new home price (single family and condominium combined) in the Eastlake/Otay Ranch area to be $388,000 in March, 2013. The single family and condominium resale medians in March, 2013 were $432,950 and $205,000, respectively. The Zillow home value index for condominium units in Otay Ranch was $234,900 in March, 2013. Derivation of New Home Prices To arrive at the assessed values for new single family and for-sale attached units used in the FIA model, an analysis was conducted on the current listings data for these units in the Otay Ranch area. The data was obtained from the Yahoo Homes website and consists of 135 single family and 44 attached listings. The single family listings included 3, 4, 5 and 6 bedroom homes ranging in size from 1,400 to 4,300 sq. ft. with prices ranging from $225,000 to $750,000. The attached listings for 2, 3 and 4 units ranged from 1,000 to 2,075 sq. ft.with prices from $155,000 to $330,000. As would be expected, the analysis of the listings data shows a strong correlation between home size and price, particularly in the single family market. Least squares formulas were derived for both types of units that give the expected sales prices for units given their square footage (see Figures 1 and 2). To estimate the projected sales price of new units, a new home premium of $63,000 was added to the sales price predicted by the least squares formula. The new home premium of $63,000 comes from national sales data representing the difference in median prices between existing and new homes' Table 5.3 summarizes the calculations that result in the I The Commerce Department reported the median new home sales price to be $247,000 in March, 2013, the National Association of Realtors reported the median resale price to be$184,300.

The calculations below assume the Project will offer a certain mix of units in each bedroom number and average square footage category. The unit number assumptions are based on the Otay Ranch listing data. The actual product mix of bedroom number and size of unit will likely vary in response to market demand, but the Otay Ranch listings should be representative of the local market going forward.

Commercial market values were derived by applying capitalization rates of 6.5% and 7.25% to retail and office, respectively, to the net annual income per acre of $188,500 and $320,900 for retail and office, respectively.4 SALES TAX The retail development planned for Village 9 ranges from neighborhood level shopping located in the Mixed-Use planning areas to community commercial in the Town Centers and regional commercial in the Urban Center planning areas of the Project. Neighborhood retail will primarily serve the Project area and the adjacent villages and is not "regional-serving" in nature and therefore not likely to draw on a larger market area. The community commercial in the Town Center areas may attract a larger percentage of regional shoppers than the neighborhood centers. The Urban Center planning area is adjacent to the Eastern Urban Center and will feature commercial uses compatible with those planned for that project including regional commercial that will attract a percentage of sales from outside the City limits and reduce sales leakage to commercial centers beyond the city limits. For purposes of this FIA, on-site retail revenues were evaluated on the basis of the amount of total sales expected by retail floor area. While it is anticipated that retail development in Village 9 will help recapture leakage of dollars outside of Chula Vista, an adjustment of was made to account for sales transfers between retail space already existing in Chula Vista and Village 9 retail. An adjustment of 10 percent was made for on-site neighborhood centers, 25 percent for community centers, and 30 percent for regional centers (Table A-12). These adjustments account for the transfer of retail sales from existing retailers in Chula Vista to the new Village 9 retailers. The off-site retail sales captured by new residents of Village 9 are also modeled given that sales tax impacts include all retail sales that can be attributed to the project within the city, and not just retail sales that occur within the project boundaries (Table A-13). 5.7 NET FISCAL IMPACT Table 5.4 presents the net fiscal impacts of the Village 9 SPA on the City of Chula Vista under the assumption that revenues rise with expenditures so that there is no net real inflation in service 2 Capitalization rate based on stabilized Class "B" multi-family housing for San Diego, CBRE Multihousing Group CapRate Survey 2nd half of 2012. 3 Average data from Rentbit.com March, 2013 4 Retail rent ($2.10/sq. ft./mon.) and cap. rate are based on the second half 2012 data for South San Diego County from Cassidy Turley BRE Commercial Retail Market Report.

City of Chula Vista Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Plan January, 2014 Final Draft Public Facilities Finance Plan 5-9 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SPA 5 FISCAL ANALYSIS costs (conversely, no net inflation assumes that expenditures may only rise in concert with available revenues). Table 5.4 shows a net fiscal deficit in year 1 of $176,400 which grows to a maximum annual net fiscal deficit of $320,100 by year 5 (2020). The deficit diminishes until a net surplus of approximately $195,000 is attained in year 11 (2026). The net surplus is projected to increase to $727,500 by Project build-out. Residential units are constructed during the first 14 years of the Project (residential units are fully absorbed by 2030) with non-residential development beginning in 2016. The declining deficit is associated with increased development of office space beginning in 2021, which generates additional property tax. Full build-out of residential units reduces the annual increases in service costs by 2030. Under the cost assumptions of this model (no net real inflation in service costs), Table 5.4 and Figure 5 below show that the net surplus continues to increase after build-out. At Build-out, property taxes are the greatest source of revenue generated by Village 9. Property tax and property transfer taxes make up approximately 53 percent of revenues, followed by vehicle license fees (VLF) (approximately 23 percent of revenues) and sales and use tax receipts (approximately 16 percent of revenues). Other revenues including franchise fees and utility users' tax comprise the remaining revenues. Figure 3 shows the proportion of revenue sources at build-out of Village 9. FIGURE 3 REVENUE ALLOCATION 8% 16% ■Property Tax(including transfer tax) ■VLF Revenues 23% Sales and Use Taxes ■Other* * other includes unitary and unsecured property taxes,franchise fees and business license tax It should be noted that revenues do not follow a completely straight linear growth path because property transfer taxes are one-time revenue. Thus, revenue generated in Village 9 jumps in the year after development comes on-line, but this new revenue is reduced due to a smaller share of property transfer taxes. Public safety—police and fire—service requirements due to new developments are expected to comprise nearly two-thirds of public service costs generated by Village 9.

At build-out of the Project, police service costs make up approximately 43 percent of total public service costs. Fire service costs are anticipated to comprise approximately 23 percent of total costs (see Figure 2). 5.8 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS In addition to the base case, a sensitivity analysis of fiscal costs was performed to evaluate two scenarios in which public service costs increase at a higher rate than revenues. The fiscal impact of Village 9 SPA was calculated with real expenditure inflation rates of 1 percent and of 2 percent. The revenues vs. costs for each scenario are shown graphically in Figure 3 below. ONE PERCENT EXPENDITURE REAL INFLATION Table 5.5 presents the net fiscal impacts generated by Village 9 with an expenditure inflation factor of 1 percent. In this case, the first year net fiscal deficit is the same as the zero inflation scenario of $176,400. The annual net fiscal deficit increases to a maximum of $407,100 by year 6 (Year 2021). The deficit begins to decline in the following year 7 until a surplus is attained in year 16. At build-out, the net fiscal surplus is approximately $38,100 and is increasing. TWO PERCENT EXPENDITURE REAL INFLATION Table 5.6 presents the net fiscal impacts generated by Village 9 with an expenditure inflation factor of 2 percent. As in the first two scenarios, the first year net fiscal deficit is $176,400 and grows to $687,000 in year 10. The deficit is reduced the following year before increasing again through the remainder of the build-out period. At build-out, the net fiscal deficit is approximately $651,300 and is increasing slightly.

According to the National Bureau of Economic Research's business cycle dating committee, the recent recession ended in June 2009, 18 months after it began in December 2007. Despite this announcement, the length and breadth of the recovery has been slow particularly in the construction sector. Growth in this sector has begun to pick-up recently and will continue to grow at a moderate pace for at least the remainder of 2013. Retail and office development is driven in part by employment growth, and business and customer demand, which are all dependent on overall economic growth. Actual absorption of the Project's non-residential space could be pushed back relative to the projected absorption in this analysis. The pace of new residential construction is affected by several factors including the supply of homes for sale, interest rates, household income growth, and availability of skilled labor in the construction trades. The recent trend of reductions in home mortgage foreclosures in the region, the diminishing supply of housing product, as well as historically low mortgage interest rates are factors that support an increase in construction activity. Shifts by households from ownership to rental units, or vice versa, or to smaller homes could also impact the phasing and the type of residential development. General population growth and expected increases in household incomes as the economy continues to improve in California will help to reinitiate strong residential development. In the case that commercial developments get pushed back further than residential developments, the city may face higher public services costs associated with residential service demands while additional commercial revenues sources, such as sales tax and additional property tax,will be delayed until the commercial is developed. 5.10 FISCAL IMPACT MITIGATION This fiscal impact analysis identifies negative fiscal impacts to the City during the build-out period of the Project. As mitigation for the fiscal impacts prior to the first final map, the project applicant will enter into an agreement to provide funding for periods where project expenditures exceed projected revenues in compliance with CVMC 19.09.060(J).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose The purpose of this AQIP is to provide an analysis of air pollution impacts that would result from development of Village 9 and to demonstrate how the design for Village 9 reduces vehicle trips, maintains or improves traffic flow, reduces vehicle miles traveled, and reduces direct or indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This AQIP also demonstrates how Village 9 has been designed consistent with the City's Green Building and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards, (CVMC 15.12 and 15.26.030) and represents the best available design in terms of improving energy efficiency and reducing GHG emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions include gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N20). They occur both naturally, and are produced by human activities, such as by automobile emissions and emissions from production of electricity to provide power to homes and businesses. These gases prevent heat from escaping the earth's atmosphere, while allowing in sunlight, which has the affect of warming the air temperature. Applicable action measures contained in the City's Carbon Dioxide Reduction Plan are also addressed. Plan Design Otay Ranch is a 23,000-acre master-planned community and includes a mix of land uses within 20 villages and/or planning areas. Village 9 is located at the southerly edge of the Otay Valley Parcel of Otay Ranch just east of State Route (SR-125) near the intersection of Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway. Key aspects that influenced the design of Village 9 relative to pedestrian, transit, and automobile circulation, and urban design, include the future University and Regional Technology Park (RTP) located to the east and the Eastern Urban Center (EUC) planned to the north. The heart of the Village is the Town Center. It is envisioned that this core area provide for the needs of the community by featuring a blend of shopping, restaurant, civic, institutional, educational, recreational, entertainment, personal service, and residential opportunities. The Town Center will provide a viable and intensified mixture of uses that will draw university students and faculty, residents, business owners, RTP employees, and visitors. Intensified residential densities and commercial uses at the heart of the community enhance and support transit use, promote walkability, and create vibrant commercial and public spaces that promote social interaction and create a strong community identity. The Village 9 SPA plan includes 323.1 gross acres and a range of allowable uses. The following land uses represent the maximum allowed per the Village 9 SPA plan: • Up to 4,000 residential dwelling units, • 1,200,000 square feet of commercial office, • 300,000 square feet of retail, • 27.5 acres of park, • 9.6 acres of open space, • Two elementary schools, and • 5 acres of community purpose facilities. 1 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 The overall plan is organized such that development intensity decreases from the EUC and Main Street, south toward the Town Center, and finally south toward Otay Valley Road and Otay River Valley. Village 9 includes community commercial uses and multi-family opportunities for affordable and new generational housing in the intensified Town Center, the opportunity for additional high density affordable housing and neighborhood commercial uses south and east of the Town Center, and attached and detached single family housing south of Otay Valley Road. This broad spectrum of housing and commercial opportunities is intended to meet the anticipated demands of students, faculty, and professionals associated with the adjacent University and RTP as well as the general population. 1 `„Cure PaSEern Urban C,'e,rc, S- 1 j (uN .. -2 !

Otay Vafley Regroaa!Park xk.+•-ew Exhibit 3.2-Regulating Plan Figure 1: SPA Regulating Plan 2 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Class II bicycle facilities are planned along all circulation element roadways through Village 9 except on Street B. Sidewalks will be provided throughout Village 9. Except for Main Street, Otay Valley Road, and B Street, all roadways internal to the Village are designed to local street standards with speed limits of 25 to 35 mph. Slow traffic speeds are conducive to both walking and bicycling and provide the necessary linkage to the regional bicycle circulation network. Sidewalks will be provided through Village 9 along with bulb-outs at key locations to reduce pedestrian crossing distances. In addition, the land uses designated in the Town Center (adjacent to the couplet) are intended to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. With design travel speeds of 35 mph along Street "A" through the couplet, the roadways are designed to provide a comfortable walking environment. On-street parking will be provided on many of the internal streets to help reduce traffic speeds and buffer the pedestrian from traffic flow. A pedestrian and bicyclist bridge will be constructed over SR-125 that will improve the pedestrian and bicycle linkages between Village 8 East and Village 9. The bridge is located approximately midway between Otay Valley Road and Main Street and will connect in Village 9 at the proposed community park located along the western boundary of the Village. This bridge is intended to reduce the reliance on passenger vehicle trips and encourage walking and bicycling between the two communities and throughout the ranch. Village 9 is transit ready. In conformance with General Plan policy, public transportation is an integral part of Otay Ranch. The Village 9 plan provides for potential transit services with options available depending on what future transit service program is implemented. A public transit line and stops are integrated into the plan and are located within or in close proximity to the highest intensity neighborhoods and the future University campus. The current regional transit plan includes transit lines on East "H" Street, East Palomar Street, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway. Transit stops are planned to be located approximately five to six miles apart with the Village 9 stop planned near the intersection of Campus Boulevard and Street B. In conformance with the General Plan, a future transit line also is planned on Main Street. The actual transit plan will be developed in conjunction with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Specific access points as well as the internal circulation for bicycle riders and pedestrians and exact roadway configurations will be approved during the Tentative Tract Map (TM) process. An additional means to reduce GHG emissions is the use of Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs). LSVs are envisioned as alternative modes of travel within and between the Otay Ranch villages. In Village 9, LSVs may travel on all village streets with a maximum travel speed of 35 mph. Except for Main Street and Otay Valley Road, all village streets are planned for maximum travel speeds of 25 to 35 mph. Vehicle trip generation is based on the project traffic study, which was prepared by RBF Consulting (2013). The projected Average Daily Trips (ADT) rate for the Village 9 is 34,067 trips. The projected ADT accounts for internal capture from mixed-use development and the reduction in vehicle trips compared to similar developments that do not provide access to transit. Potential 3 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 bus stops are proposed in Village 9 in the Town Center and along Otay Valley Road. The projected ADT also takes into account the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program included in the Village 9 SPA Plan. The TDM includes strategies to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled and to design a multi-modal transportation system, and establishes a Transportation Management Association to provide transportation services in a particular area to reduce vehicle miles and implement other TDM strategies. According to the Otay Ranch Village 9 Air Quality Technical Report dated May 2013 prepared by Atkins, the project trip generation rates account for the approximately 40 percent reduction in vehicle trips that would occur as a result of the mixed-use areas, transit use, and availability of pedestrian and bicycle facilities proposed as part of the SPA plan. In addition, future vehicular emissions may be lower than estimated due to increasingly stringent California fuel efficiency requirements. As determined by SANDAG as part of the GPA/GDPA EIR process, the average daily trip length for the Village 9 will be 5.08 miles (less than the regional average trip length of 5.8 miles). The Village 9 SPA Plan incorporates several additional features into the site design that promote alternative transportation use, reduce traffic congestion, encourage energy efficiency, and reduce area source pollutants. These measures include the following: 1. Provide shower and locker facilities at offices with more than ten occupants to encourage bicycle use. 2. Design parking lots to promote use of mass transit and car pools. 3. Synchronize the traffic lights included as part of an individual development project with previously installed traffic lights in order to reduce traffic congestion. 4. Utilize solar heating technology as practical. Generally, solar panels can be cost-effectively used to heat water for domestic use and for swimming pools. Advances in solar technology in the future may make other applications appropriate. 5. Enhance energy efficiency in building designs and landscaping plans. 6. Identify an environmental coordinator to be responsible for education and disseminating information on ridesharing and/or mass transit opportunities, recycling, energy conservation programs, etc. 7. Install only electric or natural gas fireplaces in new development. No wood burning fireplaces are permitted. 8. When siting sensitive land uses such as residences, schools, day care centers, playgrounds and medical facilities the recommendations set forth in Table 1-1 of California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Land Use and Air Quality Handbook (CARB 2004) will be use as a guideline. Specifically, new sensitive uses would not be located within 50 feet of any typical-sized gas station (one that has a throughput of less than 3.6 million gallons per year). No gas stations with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater shall be developed within Village 9. Air pollutant emission sources during project construction include exhaust and particulate emissions generated from construction equipment; fugitive dust from site preparation, grading, and excavation activities; and volatile compounds that evaporate during site paving and painting of structures. Village 9 is approximately 273 acres; however, only 263.5 acres of the site would 4 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 be disturbed during construction. The remaining area consists of areas designated for open space. A total of 6.7 acres would be disturbed off-site for the construction of the sewer and storm drain corridor and access road (1.1 acres) and grading required due to topography, fuel modification, and drainage requirements (5.6 acres). The total disturbance area would be 270.2 acres. Implementation of mitigation measures would reduce significant emissions of Nitrous Oxides (NOX), Particulate Matter (PM,o, and PM2.5), during grading and surface improvements, but not to a less than significant level resulting in potentially significant impacts. Actual emissions may be less than calculated by the URBEMIS model (a software model designed to estimate air emissions from land use development projects) since this model does not take into account additional standards adopted by California Air Resources Board (CARB) after 2007 and assumed a worst-case scenario. In conclusion, there are construction and operation air quality impacts anticipated during either the construction or operation phases of the project after all mitigation measures have been utilized. Village 9 will be consistent with the City's General Plan, as amended. However, the growth projections for the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) were based on the 2005 General Plan. Even though the proposed project would be consistent with all the applicable transportation and area source control measures proposed in the RAQS to reduce emissions in the region, the project exceeds the growth projections in the RAQS and would exceed the significant thresholds for ozone precursors and particulate matter during construction and operation for the San Diego Air Basin. 2. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this AQIP is to provide an analysis of air pollution impacts that would result from development of Village 9 and to demonstrate how the design for Village 9 reduces vehicle trips, maintains or improves traffic flow, reduces vehicle miles traveled, and reduces direct or indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. This AQIP also demonstrates how Village 9 has been designed consistent with the City's Green Building and Increased Energy Efficiency Standards, (CVMC 15.12 and 15.26.030) and represents the best available design in terms of improving energy efficiency and reducing GHG emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions include gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N20). They occur both naturally, and are produced by human activities, such as by automobile emissions and emissions from production of electricity to provide power to homes and businesses. These gases prevent heat from escaping the earth's atmosphere, while allowing in sunlight, which has the affect of warming the air temperature. Applicable action measures contained in the City's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan are also addressed. As the result of rapid development not keeping pace with the demand for facilities and improvements, the City Council adopted Growth Management policy measures that would 5 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 prohibit new development to occur unless adequate public facilities, improvements and environmental quality of life standards were put in place. The purpose of the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance (CVMC Chapter 19.09) is to provide the following: 1. Provide quality housing opportunities for all economic sections of the community; 2. Provide a balanced community with adequate commercial, industrial, recreational and open space areas to support the residential areas of the City; 3. Provide that public facilities, services and improvements meeting City standards exist or become available concurrent with the need created by new development; 4. Balance the housing needs of the region against the public service needs of Chula Vista residents and available fiscal and environmental resources; 5. Provide that all development is consistent with the Chula Vista general plan; 6. Prevent growth unless adequate public facilities and improvements are provided in a phased and logical fashion as required by the general plan; 7. Control the timing and location of development by tying the pace of development to the provision of public facilities and improvements to conform to the City's threshold standards and to meet the goals and objectives of the growth management program; 8. Provide that the air quality of the City of Chula Vista improves from existing conditions; 9. Provide that the City of Chula Vista conserves water so that an adequate supply be maintained to serve the needs of current and future residents. The objective of this AQIP is to fulfill the City of Chula Vista's Growth Management policy to provide that the air quality of the City of Chula Vista improves from existing conditions. This AQIP is provided in accordance with CVMC 19.09.950B. The Growth Management Ordinance requires that no application for a SPA Plan or Tentative Map shall be deemed complete or accepted for review unless an AQIP is provided and approved as part of the approval of the SPA Plan or Tentative Map by the City. The AQIP has been prepared based on the best available design practices and also serves to implement several of the key aspects of the City's CO2 Reduction Plan, the Green Building Standards (CVMC Chapter 15.12) and the energy efficiency requirements (CVMC 15.26.030). 3. PURPOSE & GOALS There are a number of actions that federal, state, and local jurisdictions have taken to improve air quality, increase energy efficiency, and reduce GHG emissions. This section summarizes those actions. Federal, State, and Local Rules and Regulations Related to Air Quality Air quality is defined by ambient air concentrations of specific pollutants determined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be of concern with respect to the health and welfare of the public. The subject pollutants monitored by the EPA include the following: • Carbon Monoxide (CO), • Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), • Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), • Ozone (03), 6 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 • Respirable 10- and 2.5-micron particulate matter (PM,o, PM2.5), • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), • Reactive Organic Gasses (ROG), • Hydrogen Sulfide (1-12S), • Sulfates, • Lead, and • Visibility reducing particles (VRP). The EPA has established ambient air quality standards for these pollutants. These standards are called the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) subsequently established the more stringent California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS). Both sets of standards are shown in Figure 2 on the following page. Areas in California where ambient air concentrations of pollutants are higher than the state standard are considered to be in "non-attainment" status for that pollutant. Regulation of air emissions from non-mobile sources within San Diego County has been delegated to the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). As part of its air quality permitting process, the APCD has established thresholds for the preparation of Air Quality Impact Assessments (AQIAs) and/or Air Quality Conformity Assessments (AQCAs). APCD has also established an "emissions budget" or Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) for the San Diego Air Basin. This budget takes into account existing conditions, planned growth based on general plans for cities within the region, and air quality control measures implemented by the APCD. The applicable standards are shown in Figure 3 on page 9. 7 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 California Standards Federal Standards 12F Pollutant Averaging Time Conte ntrationl'� Primary s'a Secondary's,sE Ozone(Os) 1-hour 0.09 ppm(180 4g/m') -- Same as Primary Standards 8-hour 0.070 ppm(137 lag/m') 0.075 ppm(147 4g/m) Respirable Particulate 24 Hour 50µg/m' 150 4l Same as Primary Standards Matter(PMjj Annual Arithmetic Mean 20ug/m -- Fine Particulate Matter 24 Hour No Separate State Standard 35 4g/m' Same as Primary Standards (PM25) Annual Arithmetic Mean 12 4g/m' 15 pg/m' Carbon Monoxide(CO) 8-hour 9 ppm(10 mg/m') 9 ppm(10 mg/m') None 1-hour 20 ppm(23 mg/m') 35 ppm(40 mg/m') Nitrogen Dioxide(NO2) Annual Arithmetic Mean 0.030 ppm(57 4g/m') 53 ppm(100 4g/m')6 Same as Primary Standard 1-hour 0.18 ppm(470 mg/m') 100 pub(188 pg/m')' None Sulfur Dioxide(S02) 24 Hour 0.04 ppm(105 pg/m) -- -- 3 Hour -- -- 0.5 ppm(1300 lag/m')' 1-hour 0.25 ppm(655 4g/m) 75 ppb(196 4g/m3)' LeadX 30 Day Average 1.5 pr/m' -- Calendar Quarter -- 1.5µg/m' Same as Primary Standard Rolling 3-Month -- 0.15 lag/m3 Average(9) Visibility Reducing 8-hour Extinction coefficientof0.23 No Federal Standards Particles per kilometer-visibility of 10 miles or more due to particles.

(2) National standards,other than 1-hour ozone,8-hour ozone,24-hour PMIo,24-hour PM2.5,and those based on annual averages,are notto be exceeded more than once a year. The 1-hour ozone standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with maximum hourly average concentrations above the standard is equal to or less than one. The 8-hour ozone standard is attained when the 3-year average of the annual fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour concentrations is below 0.08 ppm. The 24-hour PMlp standard is attained when the 3-year average ofthe 99`h percentile 24-hour concentrations is below 150µg/m'. The 24-hour PM25 standard is attained when the 3-year average of the 98`h percentile 24-hour concentrations is below 65 pg/m'. (1) Concentration expressed first in units in which it was promulgated. Equivalent units given in parenthesis are based on a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 mm of mercury(1,013.2 millibar). All measurements of air quality are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 mm of mercury;parts per million(ppm)in this table refers to ppm by volume, or micromoles of pollutant per mole of gas. (4) National Primary Standards:The levels of air quality necessary,with an adequate margin of safety to protect the public health. (1) National Secondary Standards:The levels of air quality necessary to protedthe public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant. 61 To attain this standard,the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of the daily maximum 1-hour average at each monitor within an area must not exceed 0.100 ppm(effective January 22,2010).Note thatthe EPA standards are in units of parts per billion(plan).California standards are in units of parts per million(ppm).To directly compare the national standardstothe California standards the units can be converted from plan to ppm.In this case,the national standards of 53 ppb and 100 plan are identical to 0.053 ppm and 0.100 ppm,respectively. I'1 On June 2,2010,the U.S.EPA established a new 1-hour SO2 standard,effective August 23,2010,which is based on the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations.EPA also proposed a new automated Federal Reference Method(FRM)using ultraviolet tech nology,but will retain the older pararosaniline methods until the new FRM have adequately permeated State monitoring networks.The EPA also revoked both the existing 24-hour SO2 standard of 0.14 ppm and the annual primary SO2 standard of 0.030 ppm, effective August 23,2010. The secondary SO2 standard was not revised at that time;however,the secondary standard is undergoing a separate review by EPA.Note thatthe new standard is in units of parts per billion(plan).California standards are in units of ppm.To directly compare the new primary national standard to the California standard the units can be convertedto ppm.In this case,the national standard of 75 plan is identical to 0.075 ppm.

Source: SCAQMD 2010 Figure 3: Thresholds of Significance for Air Quality Impacts Summary of Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code regulates energy uses including space heating and cooling, hot water heating, and ventilation. The energy code allows new buildings to meet a "performance" standard that allows a builder to choose the most cost effective energy saving measures to meet the standard. These choices may include the following: • Added insulation, • Radiant barriers, • Cool roofs, • Improved HVAC systems, • Alternative heating and cooling systems, • More efficient water heating systems, and • More efficient light systems. The energy code was updated in 2008 to continue to reduce the amount of energy needed for new buildings. This update reduced the electricity needed to operate central air conditioning for residential uses between 19.7% and 22.7% and the natural gas needed to operate gas water heaters between 7% and 10%. For non-residential buildings, the most recent update reduced the electricity needed to operate heating equipment 37.2%, cooling equipment 8.3% and interior lighting 5.9%. The non-residential natural gas need for heating was reduced 15.9%.' The City of Chula Vista has adopted Green Building Standards (CVMC Chapter 15.12) and Energy Efficiency standards (CVMC Section 15.26.030) that requires increased energy efficiency 15% beyond 2008 Title 24 Part 6 Energy Code levels. For residential uses, this requirement represents a .75-1.35% reduction in electricity use and an 11.85%-12.45% reduction in natural gas usage. For commercial uses, this represents a 4.35% reduction in electricity use and a 9.9% reduction in natural gas usage.2 Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures; California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), August 2010, Tables D-1 and D-2 z Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures, California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), August 2010, Tables BE-1.1 and BE-1.2 9 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Water-related energy use consumes 19 percent of California's electricity, 30 percent of its natural gas, and 88 billion gallons of diesel fuel every year. The water-related energy use includes water and wastewater treatment as well as the energy needed to transport the water from it source (either northern California or the Colorado River). California Green Building Code Title 24, Part 11 (CALGreen) requires that indoor water use be reduced a minimum of 20%. The City has also reduced the demand for outdoor water use through the adoption of the Landscape Water Conservation requirements (CVMC 20.12). CALGreen also requires that a minimum of 50% all new construction waste generated at the site be diverted to recycle or salvage. Additionally, the state has set per capita disposal rates of 5.3 pounds per person per day for the City of Chula Vista. The City requires new construction to divert 90% of the inert waste and not less than 50% of the remaining waste generated during construction (CVMC 8.25.095). Summary of Carbon Dioxide (COJ, Reductions CO2 is produced by both natural and anthropogenic (human) sources. CO2 will be emitted by Village 9 permitted uses through the combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, from electricity generation and natural gas consumption, and from solid waste disposal. As directed by Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the Climate Change Scoping Plan (December 2008 prepared by CARB) includes measures to reduce statewide CO2 to 1990 levels by 2020 from forecasted business- as-usual (BAU) 2020 emissions. The majority of the reduction strategies are to come from the two sectors that generate the most CO2 emissions statewide: transportation and electricity generation. The majority of the reduction in transportation-related and energy-related CO2 emissions are to be achieved through statewide regulatory mandates affecting vehicle emissions and types of fuel the vehicles use, public transit, and public utilities. The remaining reductions are to be achieved through direct regulation and price incentive measures affecting oil and gas extraction industries and forestry practices (including increased tree planting programs). To address emissions from vehicles, CARB is proposing a comprehensive three-prong strategy: reduce GHG emissions from vehicles, reduce the carbon content of the fuel these vehicles burn, and reduce the miles these vehicles travel. AB 1493 (Pavley) required CARB to develop and adopt regulations to reduce GHG emissions from passenger motor vehicles, beginning with the 2009 model year. The Pavley regulations establish specific GHG emissions levels for both passenger cars and light-duty trucks. The standards become more stringent each year through 2016. The GHG emission reductions to be achieved by the Pavley regulations are substantial. It is expected that the Pavley regulations will reduce GHG emissions from California passenger cars by 22% in 2012 and 30% in 2016 (www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccros/ccros.htm). 10 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 CARB has also adopted a Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) that sets carbon reduction standards for the types of fuels that can be sold in California, particularly renewable fuels. This will reduce the GHG emissions even if total fuel consumption is not reduced. Finally, CARB is to set regional targets for reducing passenger vehicle emissions. SB 375 requires Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in California to update their Regional Transportation Plans to adopt a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that prescribes land use allocations that promote smart growth development. SANDAG is the San Diego region's MPO. According to the San Diego SCS plan, the CARB target of a 7 percent per capita reduction in 2020 and a 15 percent per capita reduction by 2035 would be met with the SCS implementation. The three most applicable measures to land use planning and development within the City of Chula Vista's control include the regional transportation-related GHG targets, support for the Million Solar Roofs program, and energy efficiency measures. Since the early 1990s, the City has been engaged in multiple climate change forums including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Cities for Climate Protection campaign, and the U.S. Conference of Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. The key plans and ordinances that the City has adopted and implemented to achieve citywide GHG emissions reductions are summarized below. Each participant in the International Council of Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) was to create local policy measures to ensure multiple benefits in the City and, at the same time, identify a carbon reduction goal through the implementation of those measures. In its CO2 Reduction Plan developed in 1995 and officially adopted in 2000, Chula Vista committed to lowering its CO2 emissions by diversifying its transportation system and using energy more efficiently in all sectors. To focus efforts in this direction, the City adopted the CO2reduction goal of 20% below 1990 levels by 2010. In order to achieve this goal, seven actions were identified (see page 31), which when fully implemented, were anticipated to save 100,000 tons of CO2each year. The 2008 GHG Emissions Inventory has noted that compared to 1990, Chula Vista's citywide GHG emissions have increased by 29%, however, per capita and per housing unit levels are approximately 25% and 17% below 1990 levels, respectively. The Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) has helped develop recommendations to reduce the community's GHGs in order to meet the City's 2010 GHG emissions reduction targets. The CCWG ultimately chose seven measures that were adopted by the City Council and the horizon date was delayed until 2012 instead of 2010. The measures that relate to new development include the following: • A minimum energy efficiency of 15% above the 2005 Title 24, and • Implementation of smart growth principles. 11 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Otay Ranch is a 23,000-acre master-planned community and includes a mix of land uses within 20 villages and/or planning areas. Village 9 is located at the southerly edge of the Otay Valley Parcel of Otay Ranch just east of State Route (SR-125) near the intersection of Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway. Key aspects that influenced the design of Village 9 relative to pedestrian, transit, and automobile circulation, and urban design, include the future University and Regional Technology Park (RTP) located to the east and the EUC planned to the north. The heart of the Village is the Town Center. It is envisioned that this core area provide for the needs of the community by featuring a blend of shopping, restaurant, civic, institutional, educational, recreational, entertainment, personal service, and residential opportunities. The Town Center will provide a viable and intensified mixture of uses that will draw university students and faculty, residents, business owners, RTP employees, and visitors. Intensified residential densities and commercial uses at the heart of the community enhance and support transit use, promote walkability, and create vibrant commercial and public spaces that promote social interaction and create a strong community identity. The Village 9 SPA plan includes 323.1 gross acres and a range of allowable uses. The following land uses represent the maximum allowed per the Village 9 SPA plan: • Up to 4,000 residential dwelling units, • 1,200,000 square feet of commercial office, • 300,000 square feet of retail, • 27.5 acres of park, • 9.6 acres of open space, • Two elementary schools, and • 5 acres of community purpose facilities. The overall plan is organized such that development intensity decreases from the EUC and Main Street, south toward the Town Center, and finally south toward Otay Valley Road and Otay River Valley. Village 9 includes community commercial uses and multi-family opportunities for affordable and new generational housing in the intensified Town Center, the opportunity for additional high density affordable housing and neighborhood commercial uses south and east of the Town Center, and attached and detached single family housing south of Otay Valley Road. This broad spectrum of housing and commercial opportunities is intended to meet the anticipated demands of students, faculty, and professionals associated with the adjacent University and RTP as well as the general population. Figure 4: SPA Site Utilization Plan and Figure 5: SPA Site Utilization Summary implement the land uses contemplated by the General Plan and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. The site utilization plan and site utilization summary work together and assign a general utilization to each transect within the SPA. In addition to defining each transect's utilization, individual planning areas are also assigned a targeted number of dwelling units and commercial square feet. The range of units and commercial square feet shown in Figure 5 are only estimates. Units and commercial uses may be transferred between planning areas provided that uses being transferred are consistent with the site utilization of the receiving planning area, that the overall 12 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 density of each transect remains consistent with the density ranges (du/ac) specified for each transect, and that the transfer meets all of the requirements specified in §9.3.2 of the SPA. The Village 9 SPA Plan strives to create a new mixed-use community centered around a university-oriented Town Center. This Town Center is organized to create a series of focal points that emulate a traditional "downtown," within a system of "blocks" or planning areas. Block sizes have been carefully defined to maximize walkability and promote a vibrant and active town center area. Uses are envisioned to include retail, residential, and services that support student and faculty life. Such uses might include restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and opportunities for shopping and entertainment. These interchangeable mixed-use components are centered on Campus Boulevard and an urban couplet located between a Neighborhood Park and the future proposed University. A key aspect of the plan is synergy and adaptability with the future University. This synergy is emphasized through Campus Boulevard, an east-west street and urban plaza that serves as a transitional space for the community. The design of the street makes this space suitable for community events such as art fairs, farmer's markets, and festivals. Additional east-west grid streets run parallel to Campus Boulevard and are envisioned to penetrate as walking and visual corridors into the planned University, creating a strong pedestrian linkage and adjacency. 13 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 - Future fa5tern urban center �1 r� l �l uc, Taw+ ``` �_�� ��• ,7c) rrc rrcm 5TH LM 0 2 6 Legend-Land Use - -- - Eastern Urban Center(EUC)-28-60 du/ac e R-1 L Town Center(TC)- 18-45 dulac q 9c) i - a 5r � Mixed Use(MU)-10-45 du/ac Mixed Use(MU)-10-27 du/ac + M�; 5 ,u, u-2 Medium Density Residential(M) pMLf IMU3 Low Medium Density Residential Village(LMV) r x' Open Space(OS) (V U) Y--!

The Urban Center serves as a transition from the Town Center to the EUC to the north. The Urban Center will include high to mid-rise buildings with a mix of uses including retail, hospitality, office, and multifamily residential opportunities that support the Regional Technology Park and the EUC. The Town Center provides mix-use development that supports adjacent residential neighborhoods and fosters walkability. Uses within the Town Center include a mix of retail sales and services with high density attached homes. The Urban Neighborhoods will be a residential extension of the Town Center. While commercial uses are permitted in the Urban Neighborhoods, this Transect is envisioned to be predominately residential in character, with the retail focus remaining in the Town Center Transect. Residential neighborhoods south of Otay Valley Road provide an alternative living environment that is more single family in nature with large private yards and building setbacks. This environment provides a quiet, less urban lifestyle while establishing an appropriate relationship to the natural habitat in the adjacent Preserve area. Class II bicycle facilities are planned along all circulation element roadways through Village 9 except Street B. Sidewalks will be provided throughout Village 9. Except for Main Street, Otay Valley Road, and Street B, all roadways internal to the Village are designed to local street standards with speed limits of 25 to 35 mph. Slow traffic speeds are conducive to both walking and bicycling and provide the necessary linkage to the regional bicycle circulation network. Sidewalks will be provided through Village 9 along with bulb-outs at key locations to reduce pedestrian crossing distances. In addition, the land uses designated in the Urban and Town Centers are intended to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. With design travel speeds of 35 mph along Street "A" through the couplet, the roadways are designed to provide a comfortable walking environment. On-street parking will be provided on many of the internal streets to help reduce traffic speeds and buffer the pedestrian from traffic flow. A pedestrian and bicyclist bridge will be constructed over SR-125 that will improve the pedestrian and bicycle linkages between Village 8 East and Village 9. The bridge is located approximately midway between Otay Valley Road and Main Street and will connect in Village 9 at the proposed community park located along the western boundary of the Village. This bridge is intended to reduce the reliance on passenger vehicle trips and encourage walking and bicycling between the two communities and throughout the ranch. Village 9 is transit ready. In conformance with General Plan policy, public transportation is an integral part of Otay Ranch. The Village 9 plan provides for potential transit services with options available depending on what future transit service program is implemented. A public transit line and stops are integrated into the plan and are located within or in close proximity to the highest intensity neighborhoods and the future University campus uses. 16 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 The current regional transit plan includes transit lines on East "H" Street, East Palomar Street, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway. Transit stops are planned to be located approximately five to six miles apart with the Village 9 stop planned near the intersection of Campus Boulevard and Street B. In conformance with the General Plan, a future transit line also is planned on Main Street. The actual transit plan will be developed in conjunction with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Specific access points as well as the internal circulation for bicycle riders and pedestrians and exact roadway configurations will be approved during the Tentative Tract Map (TM) process. An additional means to reduce GHG emissions is the use of LSVs. LSVs are envisioned as alternative modes of travel within and between the Otay Ranch villages. In Village 9, LSVs may travel on all village streets with a maximum travel speed of 35 mph. Except for Main Street and Otay Valley Road, all village streets are planned for maximum travel speeds of 25 to 35 mph. Vehicle trip generation is based on the project traffic study, which was prepared by RBF Consulting (2013). The projected Average Daily Trips (ADT) rate for the Village 9 is 34,067 trips. The projected ADT accounts for internal capture from mixed-use development and the reduction in vehicle trips compared to similar developments that do not provide access to transit. Potential bust stops are proposed in Village 9 in the Town Center and along Otay Valley Road. The projected ADT also takes into account the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program included in the Village 9 SPA Plan. The TDM includes strategies to reduce vehicle trips and miles traveled and to design a multi-modal transportation system, and establishes a Transportation Management Association to provide transportation services in a particular area to reduce vehicle miles and implement other TDM strategies. According to the Otay Ranch Village 9 Air Quality Technical Report dated May 2013 prepared by Atkins, the project trip generation rates account for the approximately 40 percent reduction in vehicle trips that would occur as a result of the mixed-use areas, transit use, and availability of pedestrian and bicycle facilities proposed as part of the SPA plan. In addition, future vehicular emissions may be lower than estimated due to increasingly stringent California fuel efficiency requirements. As determined by SANDAG as part of the GPA/GDPA EIR process, the average daily trip length for the Village 9 will be 5.08 miles (less than the regional average trip length of 5.8 miles). The Village 9 SPA Plan incorporates several additional features into the site design that promote alternative transportation use, reduce traffic congestion, encourage energy efficiency, and reduce area source pollutants. These measures include the following: 1. Provide shower and locker facilities at offices with more than ten occupants to encourage bicycle use. 2. Design parking lots to promote use of mass transit and car pools. 3. Synchronize the traffic lights included as part of an individual development project with previously installed traffic lights in order to reduce traffic congestion. 17 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 4. Utilize solar heating technology as practical. Generally, solar panels can be cost-effectively used to heat water for domestic use and for swimming pools. Advances in solar technology in the future may make other applications appropriate. 5. Enhance energy efficiency in building designs and landscaping plans. 6. Identify an environmental coordinator to be responsible for education and disseminating information on ridesharing and/or mass transit opportunities, recycling, energy conservation programs, etc. 7. Install only electric or natural gas fireplaces in new development. No wood burning fireplaces are permitted. 8. When siting sensitive land uses such as residences, schools, day care centers, playgrounds and medical facilities the recommendations set forth in Table 1-1 of California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Land Use and Air Quality Handbook (CARB 2004) will be use as a guideline. Specifically, new sensitive uses would not be located within 50 feet of any typical-sized gas station (one that has a throughput of less than 3.6 million gallons per year). No gas stations with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater shall be developed within Village 9. 5. EFFECT OF PROJECT ON LOCAL/REGIONAL AIR QUALITY This section includes a generalized discussion of Village 9's short-term and long-term effects on local and regional air quality including its contribution to global climate change. Utilizing all the federal, state, and local strategies for reducing GHGs, Village 9 is projected to reduce GHG emissions a total of 34%from business-as-usual (BAU) through the incorporation of smart growth vehicle circulation patterns, lower-emitting vehicles, and the advanced energy efficiency and water conservation design requirements that reduce GHG emissions. The advanced energy efficiency and water conservation design requirements include both the California Title 24 requirements for energy as well as the CALGreen requirements which are then furthered through the City of Chula Vista's green building and energy requirements. Construction Related Emissions Air pollutant emission sources during project construction include exhaust and particulate emissions generated from construction equipment; fugitive dust from site preparation, grading, and excavation activities; and volatile compounds that evaporate during site paving and painting of structures. Village 9 is approximately 273 acres; however, only 263.5 acres of the site would be disturbed during construction. The remaining area consists of areas designated for open space. A total of 6.7 acres would be disturbed off-site for the construction of the sewer and storm drain corridor and access road (1.1 acres) and grading required due to topography, fuel modification, and drainage requirements (5.6 acres). The total disturbance area would be 270.2 acres. 18 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 The following construction-related mitigation measures will be implemented in Village 9: GDP EIR-1 5.4-1 Short-term Air Quality Violations Reduction Measures. The following techniques to reduce construction emissions shall be implemented during all construction activities: 1. Minimize simultaneous operation of multiple construction equipment units (i.e., phase construction to minimize impacts). 2. Use low pollutant-emitting construction equipment. 3. Use electrical construction equipment as practical. 4. Use catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment. 5. Use injection-timing retard for diesel-powered equipment. 6. Water the construction area twice daily to minimize fugitive dust. 7. Stabilize (for example hydroseed) graded areas as quickly as possible to minimize fugitive dust. 8. Pave permanent roads as quickly as possible to minimize dust. GPA/GDPA SEIR 5.11-1 5.4-2 Dust Control Measures. Mitigation of PM,o impacts requires active dust control during construction. As a matter of standard practice, the City shall require the following standard construction measures be included on all grading plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and shall be implemented during construction to the extent applicable: 1. All unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other acceptable San Diego APCD dust control agents twice daily during dust-generating activities to reduce dust emissions. Additional watering or acceptable APCD dust control agents shall be applied during dry weather or on windy days until dust emissions are not visible. 2. Trucks hauling dirt and debris shall be properly covered to reduce windblown dust and spills. 3. A 20-mile-per-hour speed limit on unpaved surfaces shall be enforced. 4. On dry days, dirt and debris spilled onto paved surfaces shall be swept up immediately to reduce re-suspension of particulate matter caused by vehicle movement. Approach routes to construction sites shall be cleaned daily of construction-related dirt in dry weather. 5. On-site stockpiles of excavated material shall be covered or watered. 6. Disturbed areas shall be hydroseeded, landscaped, or developed as quickly as possible and as directed by the City and/or APCD to reduce dust generation. 7. To the maximum extent feasible: i. Heavy-duty construction equipment with modified combustion/fuel injection systems for emissions control shall be utilized during grading and construction activities. ii. Catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment shall be used. 8. Equip construction equipment with pre-chamber diesel engines (or equivalent) together with proper maintenance and operation to reduce emissions of NOx, to the extent available and feasible. 19 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 9. Electrical construction equipment shall be used to the extent feasible. 10. The simultaneous operations of multiple construction equipment units shall be minimized (i.e., phase construction to minimize impacts). V9 Air-1 Construction Best Management Practices During all construction activities for the proposed project, the project applicant shall ensure implementation of the following BMPs to reduce the emissions of NOX and fugitive dust (PM10 to PM2.5). Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the City Engineer shall verify that these practices are specified on the grading plan. 1. All construction equipment shall use aqueous diesel fuel and be outfitted with best available control technology devices certified by CARB. A copy of each unit's best available control technology documentation shall be provided at the time of mobilization of each applicable unit of equipment. 2. Approach routes to the site shall be cleaned daily of construction-related dirt. 3. Apply chemical stabilizer or pave the last 100 feet of internal travel path within the construction site prior to public road entry. 4. Install wheel washers or rumble plates adjacent to a paved apron prior to any vehicle entry on public roads. 5. Remove any visible track-out into traveled public streets within 30 minutes of occurrence. 6. Wet wash the construction access point at the end of each workday if any vehicle travel on unpaved surfaces has occurred. 7. Provide sufficient perimeter erosion control to prevent washout of silty material onto public roads. 8. General contractors shall maintain and operate construction equipment so as to minimize exhaust emissions. During construction, trucks and vehicles in loading and unloading queues should turn their engines off when not in use to reduce vehicle emissions. Construction emissions should be phased and scheduled to avoid emissions peaks and shall be discontinued during second stage smog alerts. 9. During construction, site grading activities within 500 feet of a school in operation shall be discontinued or all exposed surfaces shall be watered to minimize dust transport off-site to the maximum degree feasible, when the wind velocity is greater than 15 miles per hour in the direction of the school. Project related construction emissions are shown in Figure 6. Project related emissions would be below the significant thresholds during underground utility construction, building construction, and coating activities. Grading activities would exceed the significant threshold for Nitrous Oxides (NOX), Particulate Matter (PM,o, and PM2.5), and surface improvements (paving) would exceed the NOX thresholds, resulting in potentially significant impacts. Actual emissions may be less than calculated by the URBEMIS model (a software model designed to estimate air emissions from land use development projects) since this model does not take into account additional standards adopted by California Air Resources Board (CARB) after 2007 and assumed a worst-case scenario. Mitigation measures implemented during grading activities would reduce NOX, PM,o, and PM2.5 emissions but not to a less than significant level, resulting in significant and unavoidable impacts, as shown in Figure 6. 20 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Figure 6:Mitigated Construction Maximum Daily Emissions by Activity(pounds/day) (Atkins May 2013) Pollutant Emissions{pounds/day) Construction Activity CO VOC NO.

Worst-case construction activities for the Purple development phase were assumed to occur during 2013-2015. No blasting for construction would be required. (1) Assumes a three-month period and a maximum land disturbance of 20 acres per day. A total of approximately 274.3 acres would be disturbed over four development phases. A total of 6.7 million cubic yards would be graded and replaced within the disturbance area,or 1.68 million cubic yards in each phase. All cut material would be used on site and no hauling of material off site would be required. Equipment list for grading includes an excavator,two graders,four heavy duty trucks, five dozers,12 scrapers,and two water trucks. (2) Assumes a two-month period. Equipment list includes two excavators,two dump trucks,a dozer,two backhoes,and a water truck. (3) Assumes a two-month period. Paving and surface improvements would be required for approximately 12 percent of the SPA area(32 acres),or eight acres per phase. Assumes an additional 1.1 acres for off-site improvements. Equipment list includes a grader,a paver,a roller,and 27 dump trucks and concrete trucks. (4) Assumes a two-year period and architectural coating activities would occur simultaneously with the building construction activities. Assumes building construction would require a total of 11 dump trucks and concrete trucks,an excavator,a backhoe,and a water truck. Calculations are based on the Purple phase,which includes development of 1,573 multi-family units,a town square,and 754,000 square feet of commercial land use. Assumes the model defaults low VOC coating emissions(250 grams of VOC per liter or less). (5) Assumes use of diesel particulate filters and diesel oxidation catalysts for all equipment. Due to a calculation error in the URBEMIS 2007 model,the total reduction in PMlo and PM2.s emissions that would occur as result of watering exposed surfaces,applying chemical stabilizers,and replacing ground cover cannot be calculated because the URBEMIS 2007 model overestimates the reduction in emissions. SCAQMD recommends application ofthe single highest control measure. Watering twice daily was applied for the proposed project. Additionally,emission reductions estimates are not available for all of the BMPs. Emissions would likely be reduced compared to these estimates,but not to a less than significant level. Source:URBEMIS 2007. See Appendix C1 for data sheets. 21 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Operational Related Emissions The major source of emissions related to the day-to-day operations of full build-out of the Village 8 are produced by project-generated vehicle trips, a shown in Figure 7. Secondary sources of emissions include burning natural gas for space and water heating, fireplaces, landscape maintenance equipment, consumer products, and periodic repainting of interior and exterior surfaces. These sources also emit significant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) There are no feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions other than reducing vehicle trips. The Otay Ranch GDP Final Program EIR includes land use policies, siting/design policies, and transportation-related management actions to mitigate operational emissions (Ogden 1992). All applicable measures have already been incorporated into the SPA plan, such as provision of bike lanes, providing services near residences, and providing transit support facilities such as bus stops. There are no other feasible mitigation measures available at the project level to reduce vehicular emissions other than reducing vehicle trips. The project trip generation rates account for the approximately 40 percent reduction in vehicle trips that would occur as a result of the mixed-use areas, transit use, and availability of pedestrian and bicycle facilities proposed as part of the SPA plan. In addition, future vehicular emissions may be lower than estimated due to increasingly stringent California fuel efficiency requirements. Some measures cannot be implemented at the SPA level, such as providing video-conference facilities in work places or requiring flexible work schedules. Additionally, there are no feasible mitigation measures currently available to reduce area sources of emissions without regulating the purchases of individual consumers. Operation emissions of VOCs, NO, and PM,o would be significant and unavoidable as shown in Figure 7. 22 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Figure 7: Operational Emissions (Atkins May 2013) Pollutant Emissions(pounds/day) Emissions Source vOC NO„ CO SO„ PM,,, PMz.s Vehicular Sources«� 59 43 537 2 285 56 Area Sources Natural Gas(2) 4 54 31 0 0 0 Hearthl3 0 3 1 0 0 0 Landscape 3 0 23 0 0 0 Consumer Products 205 0 0 0 0 0 Architectural Coatings(4) 20 0 0 0 0 0 Total Emissions 291 100 592 2 285 5fi Significance Thresholds 55 55 550 150 150 55 Significant Impact?

See Appendix A for data sheets. Modeling assumptions: Calculations assume the full development of project at buildout(2030). Output is for summer emissions,with the exception of hearth emissions,where winter emissions were added to the daily emissions for a worst-case condition. Other assumptions include: (1) Based on an ADT of 34,067 trips and an estimated vehicle trip length of 5.08 miles,which accounts for internal capture from mixed-use development,the reduction in vehicle trips compared to similar developments that do not provide access to transit,and the TDM program in the SPA Plan. A four percent vehicular emission reduction for VOC,NOx,CO,and PM10 emissions was applied for traffic light synchronization based on the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook(1993). (2) Assumes buildings comply with 15%above 2005 Title 24 standards. (3) Assumes 15 percent of homes would have fireplaces,consistent with assumptions of the GPA/GDPA. No wood burning fireplaces would be allowed. (4) Includes the use of model defaults for low VOC coatings emissions(250 grams of VOC per liter or less. In conclusion, there are construction and operation air quality impacts anticipated during either the construction or operation phases of the project after all mitigation measures have been utilized. Village 9 will be consistent with the City's General Plan, as amended. However, the growth projections for the Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAIDS) were based on the 2005 General Plan. Even though the proposed project would be consistent with all the applicable transportation and area source control measures proposed in the RAIDS to reduce emissions in the region, the project exceeds the growth projections in the RAIDS and would exceed the significant thresholds for ozone precursors and particulate matter during construction and operation for the San Diego Air Basin. 6. QUANTITATIVE PROJECT DESIGN EVALUATION Criterion Planners Inc. has performed a quantitative analysis for Village 9 using the INDEX PlanBuilder (INDEX) model developed specifically for the City. INDEX is an interactive GIS-based planning tool designed to evaluate proposed community/site designs against a set of performance standards. Village 9 has been compared against a set of "key indicators" that measure the performance characteristics of the project in relation to required minimum baseline scores. The key indicators, minimum scores, and compliance status are listed below in Figure 8 Chula Vista CO2 INDEX Model for Village 9. 23 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 Figure 8: Chula Vista CO2 INDEX Model for Village 9 dated Sept 16, 2010 (from Criterion) Element Indicator Definition Threshold Village 9 Compliance Score Score Status(Y/N) Land Use Proportion of mixed or dissimilar developed land-uses Use Mix among a grid of cells of user-defined size,expressed 0.11 0.58 Yes on a scale of 0-1.

These exceptions can be justified because of the unique circumstances described below. Transit proximity is the measurement of the average walk distances from all businesses to the closest designated transit stop. The Chula Vista INDEX model included only Village 9 data and demonstrates the average walk distance from all businesses to the closest designated transit stop. Village 9 exceeds the threshold by only 52 feet. According to the Chula Vista General Plan, proposed transit stops are located approximately 0.5-1 mile apart, with one stop located in Village 9 and one stop located in the EUC to the north. Refer to Figure 9: General Plan Proposed Transit Routes and Stops. The businesses located in the northern area of Village 9, especially those businesses north of Main Street, are much closer to the transit stop located in the EUC. If the EUC transit stop was included in the INDEX model, the walk distance between businesses and transit stops would be more lower. In addition, four additional potential transit stops have been included in the SPA plan. Refer to Figure 10: SPA Transit Plan. If these factors were included in the INDEX modeling, Village 9 most likely would exceed the thresholds. 25 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 125 +y Rd.

The INDEX model did not include intersections right at the boundary of the Village or just outside the boundary (indicated with a red square below). Due to the location of existing and planned intersections and physical barriers such as SR-125 and the MSCP, the number of potential intersections is limited. When all the primary auto entrances to multi-family residential and non-residential parcels are included, the intersection density exceeds 144 intersections per square mile.

Figure 12: Village 9 Community Design and Site Plan Features includes the list of specific measures that have been included in the Village 9 plan. Figure 12: Village 9 Community Design and Site Plan Features Transportation Related Measures 1 An integrated circulation system provides residents of the Urban Center (UC), Town Center (TC) and the adjacent neighborhoods non-automobile related circulation options that include walking, bicycling, LSV, and transit. 2 The mix of proposed residential, commercial, and community uses provide a complementary, mixed-use environment with a focus on promoting a walkable and bikeable community that promotes pedestrian activity. 3 Higher density uses will be provided along the Town Center couplet. The couplet provides improved safety for bicycle and pedestrian crossings, increased roadway capacity, less turn restrictions, reduced disruptions to traffic flow from curb parking/loading needs which leads to reduced GHG emissions from vehicles. 4 Direct pedestrian links extend from surrounding neighborhoods directly to the UC and TC. 5 Class II bicycle facilities are planned along all Transportation Element roadways. 6 Except for Main Street, Otay Valley Road, and B Street, all roadways internal to the Village are designed to local street standards with speed limits of 25 to 35 mph. Slow traffic speeds are conducive to walking and bicycling and provide the necessary linkage to the regional bicycle circulation network. 7 Land uses designated in the Town Center(adjacent to the couplet) are intended to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. All roadways internal in the Town Center are designed to local street standards with speed limits of 25 to 35 mph. 8 The Urban and Town Centers provide the opportunity for employee services to be located within walking distance of employer-based businesses. 9 Live/work and shopkeeping opportunities are provided in the Town Center and the Urban Center 10 LSVs may travel on all village streets with a maximum travel speed of 35 miles per hour. 11 The current regional transit plan includes transit lines on East "H" Street, East Palomar Street, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway. Transit stops are planned to be located approximately five to six miles apart with the Village 9 station located near the intersection of Campus Boulevard and Street B. 12 A future transit line is planned on Main St. and there are potential transit stops at Street A and Main St. 13 The actual transit plan will be developed in conjunction with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Specific access points as well as the internal circulation for bicycle riders and pedestrians and exact roadway configurations will be identified at that time. 14 Provide shower and locker facilities at offices with more than ten occupants to encourage bicycle use. 15 Design parking lots to promote use of mass transit and car pools. 16 Synchronize the traffic lights included as part of an individual development project with previously installed traffic lights in order to reduce traffic congestion. 17 Identify an environmental coordinator to be responsible for education and disseminating information 29 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 on ridesharing and/or mass transit opportunities, recycling, energy conservation programs, etc. Energy Conservation Related Measures 1 Approximately 90% of the residential dwelling units will be small single family and multi-family residences that use less energy for heating and cooling when compared to larger single-family detached homes. 2 The Village 9 is oriented primarily on a north/south and east/west axis to take advantage of solar orientation. It has been demonstrated that passive solar design including the orientation of buildings can take advantage of the suns warmth in winter to assist with heating as well as minimize heat gain in summer months to assist with cooling. 3 California Green Building Code Title 24, Part 11 (CALGreen) requires that a minimum of 50% all new construction waste generated at the site be diverted to recycle or salvage. Additionally, the State has set per capita disposal rates of 5.3 pounds per person per day for the City of Chula Vista. Reducing waste could reduce the amount of vehicle trips transporting materials to and from the site. 4 CVMC 8.25.095 requires all new construction and demolition projects to divert 90% of inert waste (asphalt, concrete, bricks, tile, trees, stumps, rocks and associated vegetation and soils resulting from land clearing from landfill disposal); and 50% of all remaining waste generated. Contractors will be required to put up a performance deposit and prepare a Waste Management Report form to ensure that all materials are responsibly handled. Upon verification that the diversion goals have been met the performance deposit will be refunded. 5 Utilize solar heating technology as practical. Generally, solar panels can be cost-effectively used to heat water for domestic use and for swimming pools. Advances in solar technology in the future may make other applications appropriate. 6 Enhance energy efficiency in building designs and landscaping plans. Other Measures to Improve Air Quality 1 Install only electric or natural gas fireplaces in new development. No wood burning fireplaces are permitted. 2 When siting sensitive land uses such as residences, schools, day care centers, playgrounds and medical facilities the recommendations set forth in Table 1-1 of California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Land Use and Air Quality Handbook (CARB 2004) will be use as a guideline. Specifically, new sensitive uses would not be located within 50 feet of any typical-sized gas station (one that has a throughput of less than 3.6 million gallons per year). No gas stations with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater shall be developed within Village 9. 8. CHULA VISTA CO2 REDUCTION PLAN This section provides a comparative evaluation between the community/site design features and the energy efficiency emission reduction action measures contained in the City's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan Appendix C. The City of Chula Vista original CO2 Reduction Plan adopted in November 2000 was intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% below 1990 levels. The CO2 Reduction Plan outlined steps for Chula Vista to reduce energy consumption, promote alternative transportation and design transit-friendly, walkable communities. The City staff conducted a GHG emissions inventory for 2005 to evaluate the City's progress in reaching its emissions goals. The 2005 inventory indicated that Chula Vista's annual citywide GHG levels had increased by 35% since 1990 due primarily to residential growth. During the same period, the City did make significant progress in reducing annual per capita emissions by 17% and avoiding nearly 200,00 tons of 30 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 GHG emissions annually. In addition, GHG emissions from municipal sources decreased by 18% mainly due to traffic signal energy-efficiency improvements. As a result of the 2005 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report, in 2008, the City Council directed the re-evaluated of the program and convened a Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to develop recommendations to reduce the community's greenhouse gas emissions or "carbon footprint" in order to meet the City's 2010 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The CCWG (comprised of residential, business and community-group representatives) selected seven measures which the City Council adopted on July 10, 2008. These implementation measures include the following: 1. Clean Vehicle Replacement Policy for City Fleet When City fleet vehicles are retired, they are replaced through the purchase or lease of alternative fuel or hybrid substitutes. In addition, the City fleet has begun installing new fuel tanks to allow heavy-duty vehicles to convert to biodiesel fuel immediately. 2. Clean Vehicle Replacement Policy for City-Contracted Fleets As contracts for City-contracted fleet services (such as transit buses, trash haulers, and street sweeper trucks) are renewed, the City encourages contractors to replace their vehicles with alternative fuel or hybrid substitutes through the contract bid process. 3. Business Energy Assessments Although not mandatory, businesses are encouraged to participate in a no cost energy assessment of their facilities to help identify opportunities for them to reduce monthly energy costs. The business assessment will be integrated into the existing business licensing process and codified through a new municipal ordinance. 4. Green Building Standard This strategy stated that Chula Vista would implement a citywide, mandatory green building standard for new construction and major renovations. The new standard would have 3 main components: (1) a minimum energy efficiency (carbon equivalent) requirement of 15% above Title 24 - 2005, (2) the early adoption of the new California Green Building Codes for all residential and commercial projects and (3) a Carbon Offset Fee available for projects not meeting the 15% above Title 24 threshold. As identified in the following paragraphs, in November 2009, the City adopted a Green Building Standards ordinance (and in January 2010, an Increase Energy Efficiency Standards ordinance). Together these two ordinances implement the City's Green Building strategy identified in 2009. 5. Solar& Energy Efficiency Conversion Program In accordance with this strategy, the City has created a community program to provide residents and businesses a streamlined, cost-effective opportunity to implement energy efficiency improvements and to install solar/renewable energy systems on their properties. To help stimulate the private-sector renewable market and lower the cost for installing renewable energy systems on new homes, the City will require all new residential buildings to include pre-wiring and pre-plumbing for solar photovoltaic and solar hot water systems, respectively. 31 Air Quality Improvement Plan Village 9 6. Smart Growth Around Trolley Stations The City has continued to implement "Smart Growth" design principles, which promote mixed- use and walkable and transit-friendly development, particularly in and around the E, H, and Palomar trolley stations. These principles were emphasized in the revised Chula Vista General Plan and the Urban Core Specific Plan. In addition, the City has initiated site planning, design studies and Specific Area Plan development to further support "Smart Growth" development that complements greenhouse gas reductions. 7. Turf Lawn Conversion Program The City has created a community program to provide residents and businesses a streamlined, cost-effective opportunity to replace their turf lawns with water-saving landscaping and irrigation systems. Some municipal turf lawn areas (such as medians, fire stations and non-recreational park areas) have been and will continue to be converted to act as public demonstration sites and to reduce monthly water costs. The City has also established the model for water-wise landscaping for new development through an update of its Municipal Landscape Ordinance and Water Conservation Plan Guidelines. Below is the summary as requested in the AQIP guidelines (October 2009).

NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSERVATION PLAN Otay Land Company Village 9 August 2013 DRAFT Project Sponsor / Applicant OTAY LAND COMPANY, LLC 1903 Wright Place, Suite 220 Carlsbad, CA 92008-6528 (760) 918-8200 Contact: Jeff O'Conner Prepared by William Hezmalhalch Architects, Inc. 2850 Redhill Avenue, Suite 200 Santa Ana, CA 92705-5543 (949) 250-0607 Contact: Cathy Baranger/Johanna Crooker I. INTRODUCTION The Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) requires the preparation of a Non-Renewable Energy Conservation Plan that identifies feasible methods to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energy resources. Categories identified in this Plan where reductions may occur include, but are not limited to, Transportation, Building Design & Use, Lighting, Recycling, and Land Use. The Chula Vista region's current reliance on fossil fuels provides the majority of non-renewable energy consumption. Fossil fuels are directly consumed in the form of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas, and indirectly as electricity generated from these fuels. The goals, objectives and policies of the GDP require that any new project identify a plan that assists in a long-range strategy that will increase the conservation of and decrease the consumption of non-renewable energy resources. II. NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSERVATION PLAN Opportunities for energy conservation in Village 9 are characterized by the following: A. Transportation Transportation design features that encourage energy conservation in Village 9 include: • Reduced Vehicle-trip Miles On the regional level, Village 9 is designed to accommodate Bus Rapid Transit as well as Rapid Bus Service. Within Otay Ranch, Village 9 also will be served by a local circulator service. In addition, the project will provide sidewalks and bike lanes on all Transportation Element roadways and a Village Pathway on Campus Boulevard that connect the University and transit stops to the Neighborhood Park and the future SR-125 Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge. By design, higher density uses will be provided in the UC and TC Zones. This intensified land use is intended to help reduce the dependence on the passenger vehicle and encourage the use of transit, walking and biking. • Additional measures to promoted alternative transportation use or reduce traffic congestions include: Provision of shower and locker facilities at offices with more than ten occupants to encourage bicycle use; Parking lot design to promote use of mass transit and car pools; Synchronization of the traffic lights as part of an 1 individual development project with previously installed traffic lights in order to reduce traffic congestion; identification of an environmental coordinator to be responsible for education and disseminating information on ridesharing and/or mass transit opportunities, recycling, energy conservation programs, etc. Trip reductions were based on the internal trip capture methodology outlined in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook. Using this methodology, traffic reductions ranging from, 27% to 50% were applied. As determined by San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the average daily trip length for the Village 9 is 5.08 miles. This is less than the regional average trip length of 5.8 miles. ■ Alternative Travel Modes Low speed vehicles (LSVs) are envisioned as an alternative mode of travel within and between the Otay Ranch villages. In Village 9, LSVs may travel on all village streets with a maximum travel speed of 35 miles per hour. This will include all village streets except for Main Street and Otay Valley Road. • Increase Use of Transit Village 9 concentrates its highest density housing, retail / commercial uses as well as school and park uses in or adjacent to the UC and TC Zones. The resulting land use plan features an integrated circulation system that provides residents of these zones and adjacent neighborhoods non-automobile related circulation options that include walking, bicycling and transit. The current regional transit plan includes transit lines on East "H" Street, East Palomar Street, La Media Road, and Eastlake Parkway. Transit stations are planned to be located approximately five to six miles apart Within Village 9, planned transit routes include Street B and Otay Valley Road with a transit station located at the intersection of Street B and Campus Boulevard. In conformance with the General Plan, a potential transit route is also provided on Main Street with potential stops located at the intersection of Street B. Potential stops are also identified at the intersection Otay Valley Road and Street A. The actual transit plan will be developed in conjunction with the SANDAG. Public transit lines and stops are integrated into the plan and are located within or in close proximity to the higher intensity neighborhoods. 2 ■ Roadway Pavement Widths and Street Trees It has been demonstrated that narrow street widths and the resulting reduction in pavement area reduces the heat island effect and thus the demand for air conditioning. A strong street tree program also provides shade that enhances the reduction of heat from roadways. Both of these design concepts would be implemented by the Village 9 plan. B. Building Design & Use Building design & use features that encourage energy conservation in Village 9 include: ■ Housing Efficiency Projections for Village 9 indicate that approximately ninety percent (90%) of the residential dwelling units will be small single family and multi-family residences. It has been demonstrated that these smaller detached and attached building designs use less energy for heating and cooling when compared to larger single-family detached homes. • Solar Orientation It has been demonstrated that passive solar design, including the orientation of buildings, can take advantage of the sun's warmth in winter to assist with heating as well as minimize heat gain in summer months to assist with cooling. The Village 9 UC, TC and UN Zones are oriented primarily on a north — south and east — west axis to take advantage of solar orientation. • Use of Better-insulated Buildings Efficiency Title 24, Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code regulates energy uses including space heating and cooling, hot water heating, and ventilation. The energy code allows new buildings to meet a "performance" standard that allows a builder to choose the most cost effective energy saving measures to meet the standard. These choices include: • Added insulation, • Radiant barriers, • Cool roofs, • Improved HVAC systems, • Alternative heating and cooling systems, • More efficient water heating systems, and • More efficient light systems. 3 The energy code was updated in 2008 to continue to reduce the amount of energy needed for new buildings. This update reduced the electricity needed to operate central air conditioning for residential uses between 19.7% and 22.7% and the natural gas needed for gas water heaters between 7% and 10%. For non- residential buildings, the most recent update reduced the electricity needed to operate heating equipment 37.2%, cooling equipment 8.3%, and interior lighting 5.9%. The non-residential natural gas need for heating was reduced 15.9%.1 The City of Chula Vista has adopted Green Building Standards (CVMC Chapter 15.12) and an Energy Efficiency Ordinance (CVMC Section 15.26.030) that requires an increased energy efficiency standard of 15% beyond 2008 Title 24 Part 6 Energy Code levels. For residential uses, this requirement represents a .75-1.35% reduction in electricity use and an 11.85%-12.45% reduction in natural gas usage. For commercial uses this represents a 4.35% reduction in electricity use and a 9.9% reduction in natural gas usage.Z • Water Conservation Water-related energy use consumes 19 percent of California's electricity, 30 percent of its natural gas, and 88 billion gallons of diesel fuel every year. The water-related energy use includes water and wastewater treatment as well as the energy needed to transport the water from its source (either northern California or the Colorado River). All residential units will be required to have: • Hot Water Pipe Insulation • Pressure Reducing Valves • Water Efficient Dishwashers • Dual Flush Toilets • Water Efficient Landscape i Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures; California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA),August 2010,Tables D-1 and D-2 2 Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures; California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA),August 2010,Tables BE-1.1 and BE-1.2 4 All non-residential units will be required to have: • Hot Water Pipe Insulation • Pressure Reducing Valves • Dual Flush Toilets • Water Efficient Landscape • Use of Energy Efficient Appliances For residential uses, energy efficient appliances can reduce electricity use an additional .12-.14% if Energy Star dishwashers are installed and .66-1.21% if one Energy Star ceiling fan is installed in each home. For nonresidential uses, an Energy Star refrigerator in grocery stores can reduce electricity usage by 21%. • Improved Construction Standards Residential and commercial construction within Village 9 is required to adhere to the Increased Energy Efficiency Standards of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 15.26.030 as well as the Building and Energy Efficiency Standards in Title 24 Part 6 of the California Code of Building Regulations. In addition, the developer of Village 9 has participated in the Chula Vista Research Project conducted by the Gas Technology Institute. Many of the appropriate measures from that study will become part of the choices that builders make to meet the Chula Vista and Title 24 Part 6 requirements. ■ Use of Solar Energy Systems Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 20.04.040 requires all new residential units to include plumbing specifically designed to allow later installation of a system that utilizes solar energy as the primary means of heating domestic potable water. New buildings will be designed to be photovoltaic (PV) ready. This includes providing space on the roof surface for the PV system and electrical conduit from the electrical service equipment to the future PV system. Planting of trees on southern exposures to buildings will be carefully monitored to ensure that solar energy systems will not be impacted. 5 C. Lighting Lighting features that encourage energy conservation in Village 9 include: • Energy Efficient Public Lighting Standards for Village 9 encourage the use of energy efficient lighting for all streetlights as well as park and other public space illumination. The City of Chula Vista Public Works Department is implementing a pilot program testing the use of induction/I.e.d lighting for public streets that use 1/3 the electricity without reducing lighting levels and impacting public safety. If it is determined that one of these lighting systems is feasible on a citywide basis, the applicable lighting system will be used in Village 9. • Energy Efficient Public Lighting Builders also are encouraged to use energy efficient lighting in all residential and commercial development. D. Recycling Recycling programs in Village 9 include: ■ Residential and Commercial Recycling Chula Vista Municipal Code Sections 8.23-25 requires all commercial and industrial establishments that recycle with a third party recycler to submit recycling tonnage documentation on an annual basis to the City's conservation coordinator, due on or before January 31St, for the previous year. This requirement promotes recycling of materials. Those establishments recycling with a franchised hauler do not need to report because the hauler does the reporting to the City. The City of Chula Vista's Recycling and Solid Waste Planning Manual, adopted by City Council, provides information for adequate space allocated to recycling and solid waste within individual projects, based upon the type of project and collection service needed. Additionally, the City of Chula Vista encourages the use of compost materials to be incorporated into the soil of all new construction projects to improve soil health, water retention, less water run off, and filtration of water run-off prior to entering storm drains and creeks on the way to San Diego Bay. The yard trimmings collected 6 in Chula Vista are composted at the Otay Landfill and may be available for purchase. ■ New Construction Waste Reduction California Green Building Code Title 24, Part 11 (CALGreen) requires that a minimum of 50% all new construction waste generated at the site be diverted to recycle or salvage. Additionally, the State has set per capita disposal rates of 5.3 pounds per person per day for the City of Chula Vista. To maintain these targets the following programs must be implemented per Chula Vista Municipal Code Sections 8.23 Solid Waste and Recycling Contract or Franchise; 8.24 Solid Waste and Litter; 8.25 Recycling and 19.58.340 Trash Enclosures: All new construction and demolition projects in the City are required to divert from landfill disposal 90% of inert waste to include asphalt, concrete, bricks, tile, trees, stumps, rocks and associated vegetation and soils resulting from land clearing; and 50% of all remaining waste generated. Contractors will be required to put up a performance deposit and prepare a Waste Management Report form to ensure that all materials are responsibly handled. Upon verification that the diversion goals have been met, the performance deposit will be refunded (CVMC 8.25.095). E. Land Use Land use patterns and project features that conserve non-renewable energy resources and reduce the reliance on the automobile within Village 9 include: ■ Reduce the Reliance on the Automobile The vision for Village 9 is to develop a cohesive community with inter-connected uses and densities. The mix of proposed residential, commercial and community uses are intended to provide a complementary, mixed-use environment with a focus on promoting a walkable and bikeable community. Direct pedestrian links extend from the surrounding neighborhoods directly to the town center. Class II bicycle facilities are planned along all Transportation Element roadways. The Village pathway provides pedestrian and bike connections from the town center to the University, transit stops at Campus Blvd. and Street B, the Neighborhood Park, and the Pedestrian/Bike Bridge that links to Village 8 East. Roadways internal to the Village are designed to standards with speed limits of 25 to 35 mph. Slow traffic speeds are conducive to bicycling and provide the necessary linkage to the regional bicycle circulation network. Sidewalks will be provided 7 throughout Village 9. In addition, the land uses designated for the UC and TC Zones are specifically intended to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly. Except for Main Street and Otay Valley Road, all streets are planned for travel speeds of 25 to 35 mph and are designed to provide a comfortable walking environment. The UC and TC Zones also provide the opportunity for employee services to be located within walking distance of employer-based businesses. ■ Regional Mass Transit Facilities Otay Ranch and Village 9 are designed and ready to accommodate public transportation and alternative travel modes to reduce energy consumption. Village 9 is public transportation ready. In conformance with General Plan policy, public transportation is an integral part of Otay Ranch. The Village 9 plan has responded by providing for potential transit services with options available depending on what future program is implemented. The current regional transit plan includes transit lines on East"H" Street, East Palomar Road, La Media Road, Eastlake Parkway and the existing segment of Main Street. Transit stops are planned to be located approximately five to six miles apart. In conformance with the General Plan, future transit stops are planned for the EUC and at the intersection of Campus Boulevard and Street B. There are additional transit stops possible at the intersection of Main Street and Street A as well as at the intersection of Otay Valley Road and Street A. The actual transit plan will be developed in conjunction with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). Specific access points as well as the internal circulation for bicycle riders and pedestrians and exact roadway crossings will be approved during the Tentative Tract Map (TM) process. 8 P'.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Preserve Edge Plan is to identify allowable uses within appropriate land use designations for areas adjacent to the Otay Ranch Preserve (Preserve). In accordance with Policy 7.2 of the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP), a Preserve Edge Plan is to be developed for all Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans that contain areas adjacent to the Preserve. The Village 9 SPA Plan will border the Preserve on its southerly boundary. The Preserve Edge area is a public or privately owned 100-foot wide strip of land adjacent to the Preserve. No structures other than those listed in SPA Plan Section 7.3.3.A shall be constructed within the 100-foot Preserve Edge. Any improvement or structures shall be designed to minimize visual impacts to the Preserve and Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). To provide further guidance relating to the content of the Preserve Edge Plan, the Chula Vista Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan contains policies related to land use adjacency. RMP and MSCP policies are summarized and evaluated below. This plan has been reviewed by a qualified biologist (Dr. Patrick Mock, URS Corp.). B. COMPLIANCE WITH RMP/MSCP SUBAREA PLAN POLICIES The following discussion provides a description of the policies identified in the Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan, which were developed in consideration of the requirements of RMP, as well as compliance measures to be carried out by the various components of the SPA Plan. 1. Drainage MSCP Policy: "All developed and paved areas must prevent the release of toxins, chemicals, petroleum products, exotic plant materials and other elements that might degrade or harm the natural environment or ecosystem processes within the Preserve. This can be accomplished using a variety of methods including natural detention basins, vegetated/infiltration swales or mechanical trapping devices. These systems should be maintained approximately once a year, or as often as needed, to ensure proper functioning. Maintenance should include dredging out sediments if needed, removing exotic plant materials, and adding chemical-neutralizing compounds (e.g., clay compounds)when necessary and appropriate." Compliance: Development of the site would reduce natural erosion and sedimentation potential through the increase in impervious surfaces and stabilized slopes. However, erosion potential may exist at the locations where runoff is ultimately released from the project. To avoid erosion impacts, the project has been designed to Page 1 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan include energy dissipation and infiltration structures to reduce runoff and flow velocities to below erosive velocity limits. Post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) are included in the design of the Village 9 SPA Plan and associated Tentative Map (TM). The Post- construction BMPs are detailed in the Village 9 Water Quality Technical Report (WQTR). As further described in the WQTR for Village 9, all stormwater runoff will be treated prior to entering the projects storm drain system which ultimately convey flows to the Otay River. Flow-based BMPs are provided in the WQTR for Village 9. The BMPs will incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) techniques to assure water quality is being preserved, prior to discharge offsite. LID techniques will also be incorporated to treat dry weather flows and `first flush' criteria as set forth by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). These methods will protect the open space Preserve adjacent to Village 9. Dry weather flows typically include landscape overwatering, washing driveways and automobiles. LID techniques to reduce dry weather flows include low water use landscaping and public education regarding washing vehicles and driveways. First flush flows take into account the initial runoff from rain events which may contain higher levels of pollutants than at the end of a rain event. BMPs will be implemented to reduce first flush pollutants and are detailed in the WQTR. The RWQCB will require a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to address water quality impacts associated with construction and operation of the project. To mitigate impacts from "first flush" runoff and dry weather flow, BMPs will be identified in the SWPPP and the appropriate BMPs will be implemented. The SWPPP will be consistent with the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act. BMPs identified in the SWPPP will include, but are not limited to the following. Construction-Related Measures: • Existing vegetation will be retained where possible. To the extent feasible, grading activities will be limited to the immediate area required for construction. • Temporary erosion control measures will be installed in disturbed areas. These control areas may include but are not limited to silt fencing, straw waddles, jute netting, or hydroseeding. The temporary erosion control measures will be detailed in the WQTR and the SWPPP. • Disturbed surfaces will not be left without erosion control measures in place from October 1 through April 1, or when there is a potential for a rain event. • Landscaping will be installed as soon as practical to reduce erosion potential. Page 2 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan Design/Post-Construction Measures: • Sediment will be retained on-site by a system of sediment basins, traps, or other appropriate measures. • Where deemed necessary, storm drains will be equipped with silt and oil traps to remove oils, debris, and other pollutants. Storm drain inlets shall be labeled "NO Dumping-Drains to Ocean." Storm drain inlets shall be regularly maintained to ensure their effectiveness. • The parking lots will be designed when possible to allow storm water runoff to be directed to vegetative filter strips and/or oil—water separators to control sediment, oil, and other contaminants. • Permanent energy dissipation structures will be installed for each drainage outfall to a natural watercourse. • The project area drainage basins will be designed to provide effective water quality control measures, as outlined in the WQTR. Design and operational features of the drainage basins will include design features to provide maximum infiltration, maximum detention time for settling of fine particles; maximize the distance between basin inlets and outlets to reduce velocities; and establish maintenance schedules for periodic removal of sedimentation, excessive vegetation and debris. In addition to the permanent drainage facilities, temporary desiltation basins to control construction related water quality impacts shall be constructed within the Plan area with each grading phase to control sedimentation during construction. The interim desiltation basins shall be designed to be consistent with RWQCB and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Certification / permitting requirements. Sediment from the project grading operations that drains into the natural drainage channels would incorporate water quality control features to maximize water quality. The exact size, location and component elements of these interim basins shall be identified on the grading plans. 2. Toxic Substances MSCP Policy: "All agricultural uses, including animal-keeping activities, and recreational uses that use chemicals or general by-products such as manure, potentially toxic or impactive to wildlife, sensitive species, habitat, or water quality need to incorporate methods on their site to reduce impacts caused by the application and/or drainage of such materials into the Preserve. Methods shall be consistent with requirements requested by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit (NPDES)." Compliance: Current agricultural activities on the site consist of dry-farming. The Village 9 SPA Plan area would phase out on-going agricultural uses adjacent to the Preserve consistent with the Village 9 SPA Plan Agricultural Plan. Page 3 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan 3. Lighting MSCP Policy: "Lighting of all developed areas adjacent to the Preserve should be directed away from the Preserve, wherever feasible and consistent with public safety. Where necessary, development should provide adequate shielding with non-invasive plant materials (preferably native), berming, and/or other methods to protect the Preserve and sensitive species from night lighting. Consideration should be given to the use of low-pressure sodium lighting." Compliance: Village 9 SPA Plan has been designed to locate park open space and rear yards of single-family residential housing adjacent to the Preserve. In order to reduce night lighting in and adjacent to the preserve, low pressure sodium lighting and/or shielding will be required on streets or parking lots adjoining the Preserve. Trails, Parks and access roads within the Preserve and Preserve Edge will not be lighted. Prior to the approval of any improvement plans containing light standards adjacent to the Preserve, the developer shall prepare a lighting plan and photometric analysis, to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director, confirming the location and type of proposed lighting standards (including shielding measures if required) to minimize spill over light into the Preserve. Lighting shall not be permitted within the Preserve Edge, 4.Noise MSCP Policy: "Uses in or adjacent to the Preserve should be designed to minimize noise impacts. Berms or walls should be constructed adjacent to commercial areas and any other use that could impact or interfere with wildlife utilization of the Preserve. Excessively noisy uses or activities adjacent to breeding areas, including temporary grading activities, must incorporate noise reduction measures or be curtailed during the breeding season of sensitive bird species. Where noise associated with clearing, grading or grubbing will negatively impact an occupied nest for the least Bell's vireo during the breeding season from March 15 to September 15, noise levels should not exceed 60 dBA Leq-h. However, on a case by case basis, if warranted, a more restrictive standard may be used. If an occupied Bell's vireo nest is identified in a pre-construction survey, noise reduction techniques, such as temporary noise walls or berms, shall be incorporated into the construction plans to reduce noise levels below 60 dBA Leq-h. Where noise associated with clearing, grubbing or grading will negatively impact, an occupied nest for raptors between January 15-July 31 or the California Page 4 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan gnatcatcher between February 15 and August 15 (during the breeding season), clearing, grubbing or grading activities will be modified if necessary, to prevent noise from negatively impacting the breeding success of the pair. If an occupied raptor or California gnatcatcher nest is identified in a pre-construction survey, noise reduction techniques shall be incorporated into the construction plans. Outside the bird breeding season(s) no restrictions shall be placed on temporary construction noise." Compliance: Prior to issuance of any land development permits (including clearing and grubbing or grading permits), the project Applicant will be required to retain a qualified biologist to conduct pre-construction surveys for sensitive avian species including Chula Vista Covered species, raptors and/or any migratory birds protected under the MBTA . Based on those surveys and locations of nesting birds during construction, if it is determined that the noise impact thresholds established in the Chula Vista Subarea Plan would be exceeded, the applicant would be required to reduce the impact below 60 dBA Leq-h standard through either modification of construction activities mitigation using sound barriers such as temporary walls or berms, or avoiding clearing, grubbing, grading or construction activities within 500 feet of an active nest site from March 15 to September 15, during the breeding season. The Village 9 SPA Plan design has located typically low noise generating uses adjacent to the preserve. These uses include single-family residential development, hiking trails, park open space, and low speed (25 MPH) narrow residential streets. Native landscaping that requires a minimal amount of maintenance will be installed within areas adjacent to the Preserve. To the extent practicable, non-emergency brush management in Zone 3 (the area closest to the Preserve) will be undertaken outside the bird breeding seasons (April 1 —June 30) in areas where breeding and/or nesting may occur. 5. Invasives MSCP Policy: "No invasive non-native plant species shall be introduced into areas immediately adjacent to the preserve. All slopes immediately adjacent to the Preserve should be planted with native species that reflect the adjacent native habitat. The plant list contained in the "Wildland / Urban Interface: Fuel Modification Standards," and provided as Appendix L of the Subarea Plan, must be reviewed and utilized to the maximum extent practicable when developing landscaping plans in areas adjacent to the Preserve." Page 5 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan Compliance: Landscaping within 100 feet of the Preserve will not contain any invasive or undesirable plant species, as determined by the City of Chula Vista. A list of invasive and/or undesirable species is provided in Appendix A attached. A list of plant species that may be planted on manufactured slopes and open space park areas adjacent to the Preserve is provided in the attached Appendix B, entitled "Approved Plant List for the Village 9 Preserve Edge." These plant lists have been developed consistent with Table 3-5 (Appendix A) of the City's MSCP Subarea Plan and shall be incorporated into the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan. The Approved Plant List for the Village 9 Preserve Edge (Appendix B of the Edge Plan) also meets the requirements outlined in the Fire Protection Plan (FPPA-A) as these manufactured slopes are also within the 150' Brush Management Zone required by the MSCP Subarea Plan. Any changes to the approved plant list must be approved by the Director of Planning and Building and Development Services Director. The area may be planted with container stock(liners) or a hydroseed mix. 6. Buffers MSCP Policy: "There shall be no requirements for buffers outside the Preserve, except as may be required for wetlands pursuant to Federal and/or State permits, or by local agency CEQA mitigation conditions. All open space requirements for the Preserve shall be incorporated into the Preserve. Fuel modification zones must be consistent with Section 7.4.4 of the Subarea Plan." Compliance: Fuel modification zones have been incorporated into the proposed development areas of the SPA Plan pursuant to the requirements of the Subarea Plan. Fuel modification zones are allowed within the 100 foot Preserve Edge pursuant to RMP Policy 7.2 (Adjacent Land Uses). Where appropriate, graded landscaped slope areas will be maintained pursuant to Fire Department requirements and will be outside of the Preserve. A Fire Protection Plan for Village 9 has been prepared that provides specific fuel modification requirements for the entire SPA area. Consistent with the Chula Vista MSCP requirements, a 150' Brush Management Zone has been established adjacent to the MSCP. A description of the Brush Management Zones is provided in the Fire Protection Plan. Page 6 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan MSCP Adjacency Guidelines All new development must adhere to the Adjacency Guidelines for drainage found on Page 7-25 of the Subarea Plan. In summary, the guidelines state that: 1. All developed areas must prevent the release of toxins, chemicals, petroleum products, exotic plant materials and other elements the might degrade or harm the natural environment or ecosystem processes within the Preserve. 2. Develop and implement urban runoff and drainage plans which will create the least impact practicable for all development adjacent to the Preserve. 3. All development located within or directly adjacent to or discharging directly to an environmentally sensitive area are required to implement site design, source control, and treatment control Best Management Practices (BMPs). To adhere to these MSCP guidelines, excessive runoff into the Preserve from adjacent irrigated slopes shall be minimized. The linear park incorporates grading techniques that direct flows away from preserve edge to an inlet located in the central portion of the park. In addition, erosion control BMPs must be installed prior to planting and watering to prevent siltation into the Preserve. The irrigation system installed on the slopes should have an automatic shutoff valve to prevent erosion in the event the pipes break. Irrigation heads shall be directed away from the Preserve. Irrigation schedules for the slopes adjacent to the open space Preserve should be evaluated and tested in the field to determine the appropriate water duration and adjusted, as necessary, to prevent runoff. Once landscaping is mature and irrigation is no longer necessary, the temporary irrigation system in Zone 2 and Zone 3 will be removed. In addition, a manual weeding program shall be prepared and implemented to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director within areas adjacent to the Preserve to control the spread of invasive species. The manual weeding program shall be prepared in conjunction with the Landscape Master Plan, and shall describe at a minimum, the entity responsible for controlling invasive species, the maintenance activities and methods required to control invasives, and a maintenance/monitoring schedule. A qualified biological monitor shall check the irrigated slopes during plant establishment to verify that excessive runoff does not occur and that weed infestations are controlled. Page 7 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan 7. Restrict Access Both the Otay Ranch RMP and Chula Vista MSCP Subarea Plan contain policies that restrict or limit access into the Preserve. These policies are discussed below: Policy 6.5 of the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan states the following: "Identify restricted use areas within the Preserve." Standard. Public access may be restricted within and adjacent to wetlands, vernal pools, restoration areas, and sensitive wildlife habitat (e.g., during breeding season) at the discretion of the Preserve Owner/Manager. Guidelines: 1. The Preserve Owner/Manager shall be responsible for identifying and designating restricted areas based on biological sensitivity. MSCP Policy: "The public access to finger canyons will be limited through subdivision design, fencing to other appropriate barriers, and signage." "Install barriers (fencing, rocks/boulders, appropriate vegetation) and/or signage in new communities where necessary to direct public access to appropriate locations." Compliance: Pursuant to the requirements of the MSCP Subarea and RMP, Village 9 land plans have been designed to limit access to the adjacent Preserve area. Public access to the on-site trail system within the Preserve Edge is illustrated in Exhibit 1. Signage will be installed at trailheads or junction points to restrict public access outside the designated trails. Maintenance access will also be provided via the trail access points. The trail system within the preserve edge will be constructed during the adjacent single-family development phase. Access will be restricted using gates,fences, and signs until the trails are completed. Access shall be restricted south of Village 9 until the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP) East/West Connector Trail is established. Otay Land Company will contribute to the cost of a future trail connection to OVRP south of the Village 9 boundary; however, the future off-site trail is not a part of the proposed Village 9 SPA Plan will be subject to additional siting criteria and environmental review. Perimeter fencing will be installed along the rear yards of the Village 9 to restrict unauthorized access into the Preserve. In addition, a lodge pole railing, post Page 8 Otay Land Company Village 9 Sectional Planning Area Plan Sectional Planning Area Plan Preserve Edge Plan markers with signage or equal shall be installed along the MSCP limit or along the Village 9 boundary as depicted on Exhibit 1. The location and type of access controls (i.e., gates, fencing, post markers and signage) shall be incorporated into the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan to the satisfaction of the Development Services Director.

The Findings of Fact require that the agricultural plan indicate the type of agriculture activity allowed as an interim use and that it include guidelines designed to minimize land use interface impacts related to noise, odors, dust, insects, rodents, and chemicals that may be produced or used by agricultural activities or operations. Historical agricultural uses within Village 9 included farming as well as cattle and sheep ranching. Crop production was limited to the "dry farming"of hay and grains due to the lack of water. CURRENT AGRICULTURAL USE The portion of Village 9 outside of the Preserve is currently dry farmed. Each winter, the site is tilled in preparation for the seeding of small grains. This tilling also controls invasive vegetation which otherwise may become a safety or access issue. There are no cattle grazing activities on site. Because there is no farming or ranching activity within the Preserve, there is no administration associated with the Resource Management Plan (RMP). Because there is no grazing on site, there is no need to manage the site in conformance with the Range Management Plan. PERMITTED AGRICULTURAL USES The Development Code for Village 9 permits crop farming, tree farming and nursery production as permitted interim uses in any zone, provided the area in which the use will occur has not been subdivided or plotted into any parcels less than one acre in size. Any associated buildings including but not limited to farm buildings, packing sheds, and nursery greenhouses shall be subject to a conditional use permit. Cattle grazing activities are not permitted in Village 9. All agricultural uses will be incrementally phased out during the course of development. PHASED ELIMINATION OF AGRICULTURAL USES The Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) and the Village 9 SPA provide for interim agricultural uses as noted above and their phased elimination. The following agricultural standards will be employed during the interim period: • A minimum 200-foot buffer shall be maintained between developed property and any ongoing agricultural operation. Use of pesticides shall comply with federal, state and local regulations. • In areas where agricultural related pesticides will be applied, vegetation shall be utilized to shield adjacent urban development (within 400 feet) from these agricultural activities. • The responsible farmer or land owner shall notify adjacent property owners (those within 400 feet) of pending pesticide application through advertisements in newspapers of general circulation or other approved manner such as by mail. • To ensure the safety of area residents, appropriate fencing shall be utilized where necessary. 1 4 rr: r _ ' I 114 v �•�.I 'f W� y�� i ,Y rt, r i ��• �. +++III r' 'iL•r k y; I 4' y i has, nd 'x F Appe i Fiore Protectimon Plan r 5 t I rr, a �, F FIRE PROTECTION PLAN FOR OTAY RANCH, VILLAGE 9/EUC PREPARED FOR: City of Chula Vista Development Services Department 276 Fourth Ave Chula Vista, CA 91910 Otay Land Company, LLC 1903 Wright Place, Suite 220 Carlsbad, CA 92008 PREPARED BY: Robin Church RC Biological Consulting, Inc. 12737 Campo Road Spring Valley, CA 91978 (619) 463-1072 March 2012 TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION PAGE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Purpose of the Fire Protection Plan 1.2 Project Location 1 1.3 Land Uses 1 1.4 Open Space 4 2.0 ACCESS 4 3.0 ADDRESSES 5 4.0 WATER SUPPLY 5 4.1 Fire Sprinklers 6 4.2 Fire Monitoring Systems 6 5.0 FIRE SERVICES 6 6.0 SETTING AND FIRE HISTORY 8 6.1 Surrounding Land Use and Topography 8 6.2 Vegetation 8 6.3 Climate 13 6.4 Fire History 13 7.0 RISK ASSESSMENT-WILDLAND FIRE 13 7.1 Fuel Modeling 13 8.0 FIRE-RESISTIVE CONSTRUCTION 19 9.0 FUEL MANAGEMENT 19 9.1 Fire Protection Planning Area 20 9.2 Fire Protection Planning Area B 22 9.3 Fire Protection Planning Area C 22 9.4 Offsite Fuel Management 22 9.5 Maintenance 23 9.6 Fuel Management During Construction/Phase Implementation 24 9.7 Fuel Management for Parks and Community Open Space 24 9.8 Emergency Brush Management 24 10.0 GUIDELINES FOR PLANTING IN FUEL MODIFICATION ZONES 24 11.0 REFERENCES 26 12.0 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS 27 TABLE OF CONTENTS (CON'T) LIST OF TABLES Table 1 Commercial Premise Identification 5 Table 2 Burn History of the Site and Vicinity 13 Table 3 Weather Inputs for the Coastal Zone 16 Table 4 Habitats and Fuel Models 16 Table 5 Fire Modeling Results for Santa Ana Conditions 18 Table 6 Fire Modeling Results for Peak Conditions 18 Table 7 Fire Modeling Results for Normal(Summer)Conditions 19 LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1 Tentative Map Map Pocket Figure 2 Vicinity Map 2 Figure 3 Aerial Map 3 Figure 4 Fire Response Map 7 Figure 5 Fire Hazard Map 10 Figure 6 Contour Map 11 Figure 7 Biological Resources Map 12 Figure 8 Climate Map 14 Figure 9 Burn History Map 15 Figure 10 Fuel Management Zone Map Pocket LIST OF GROUND PHOTOGRAPHS Photograph 1.

The site includes portions of Otay Ranch Village 9 as well as a portion of Planning Area 12 which also is referred to as the Eastern Urban Center (EUC). The Village encompasses approximately 323 acres and is located in the southwest quadrant of Otay Ranch. The balance of the EUC lies to the north, the future planned university site is to the east, the Otay River Valley and a portion of MSCP Preserve is to the south and SR-125 is to the west. The Village is proposed to be composed of mixed-use dwelling units, single-family residential, multi-family dwelling units, retail/commercial, a potential school site, parks, two community purpose facilities, and open space (Figure 1-Tentative Map, Map Pocket). The project is proposed to be built in several phases. Fire protection is provided to the project area by the City of Chula Vista Fire Department. The project will incorporate several of the Firewise Community design features. Details of the Firewise Community design features can be found on the Firewise website at Firewise.org/USA. 1.1 Purpose of the Fire Protection Plan The purpose of this Fire Protection Plan (FPP) is to address fire safety and compliance with applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations for Village 9. The primary focus of this plan is the southwestern perimeter of the site which contains native vegetation that is being placed in open space. Additionally, this vegetation is contiguous with native vegetation offsite to the south. The plan references current codes and regulations at the time it is being written. However, the codes and regulations adopted at the time of development shall apply. 1.2 Project Location The Village 9 project hereinafter referred to as the project, is located in the City of Chula Vista. The project is located just north of the Otay River and encompasses a portion of the EUC (Figure 2). The balance of the EUC lies to the north, the future planned university site is to the east, the Otay River Valley and a portion of the MSCP Preserve to the south and SR-125 to the west. The project is located in an area of existing development, proposed development, agriculture and undeveloped lands (Figure 3). 1.3 Land Uses The development plan for Village 9 calls for the implementation of 3734 mixed-use (MU) and multifamily (MF) dwelling units, 1,135,000 square feet of office-commercial, 365,000 square feet of retail-commercial uses; 266 single family (SF) dwelling units; potential school sites; several park sites; two community purpose facility (CPF) sites; as well as open space and utility and roadway easements-rights of way (Figure 1). The estimated 24-hour population of Village 9 is 12,144.

The open space is required as a result of that portion of the project being located within an area designated as 100% Conservation Area—Habitat Preserve (Preserve) within the City's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan. No development or fuel modification, other than an underground storm drain and sewer and access road, will occur within this lot. 2.0 ACCESS Future road access to Village 9 will be provided by existing Eastlake Parkway from the north, Hunte Parkway from the east, SR-125 and future Otay Valley Road from the southwest and SR-125 and future Main Street from the west. Main Street serves as a primary east west access road in the northern portion of the property. Main Street is proposed to have three eleven foot travel lanes. Otay Valley Road provides a primary access along the southern portion of the project. It is proposed as a four lane major road with two eleven-foot travel lanes and a transit lane in each direction. Additional circulation is provided by "Street A" a town core street with two travel lanes, eleven feet in width and a right turn lane. The Parkway Residential streets propose one travel lane ten feet in width in each direction. The project shall comply with the City of Chula Vista Construction Site Policy for Compliance with Fire Safety Provisions. The project phasing and road construction shall be such that required numbers of access points are provided in conformance with the City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual Section 3-403.2 (7) (2002). Specific requirements under this Section are: • For a street ending in a cul-de-sac, the maximum is 30 single-family lots • Single-family development shall not exceed 120 lots unless two points of access are provided • Single-family development shall not exceed 200 lots unless three points of access are provided • "Points of access" means streets with no driveway access consisting of two or more lanes. Emergency access-only connections are not considered points of access. These requirements do not apply to condominium or multi-family development. Firefighter foot access locations shall be placed at intervals of no greater than 1000 feet along the southern project interface with Multiple Species Conservation Program Preserve Boundary. In particular, if the western side of the cul de sac for Street L is fenced, a firefighter foot access gate must be installed. Village 9 4 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 3.0 ADDRESSES All buildings are required to be separately addressed. Unit numbers shall be placed at appropriate locations and be plainly visible and legible from the street fronting the property from either direction of approach. Residential buildings shall have that contrast with their background and shall meet the following minimum size standards: 4" high with a %" stroke. Table 1, below, identifies the requirements for commercial development. Additional numbers shall be required where deemed necessary by the fire code official, such as rear access doors, building corners and entrances to commercial centers. The fire code official may establish different minimum sizes for numbers for various categories of projects. In addition, geographical directories will be required at entrances to multiple building developments on a parcel. The City of Chula Vista has prepared Premise Identification Guidelines for reference. The following table identifies the requirements for commercial development. Table 1 Commercial Premise Identification Distance from Building to Face of Curb Minimum Number Height Minimum Stroke 0-50 feet 6 inches 1 inch 51-150 feet 10 inches 1.5 inches ➢ 150 feet 16 inches 2 inches 4.0 WATER SUPPLY The Otay Water District (OWD) will provide potable water services. The City of Chula Vista utilizes the California Fire Code for determining required fire flows and durations for new development. The fire code utilizes a number of factors to determine the required fire flow for a building. These factors include building footprint, building construction materials, and whether or not the building has sprinklers. Since this level of detail is not known at the planning stage, this report uses the fire flow requirements utilized by the Otay Water District in master planning storage, transmission, and distribution facilities throughout their District. The fire flow requirement will be a minimum of 1,500 gpm and may be increased for individual sites based on the factors described above. Hydrants shall be placed along road ways and fire access paths a maximum of 300 feet apart in multi-family and commercial areas. Hydrant spacing shall be placed along roadways a maximum of 500 feet in single-family residential areas (Ordinance 3093 §1, 2007). Spacing maybe increased to a minimum of 1000 feet where no structures are proposed adjacent to the road. The Chula Vista Fire Department will review proposed fire hydrants throughout this development and provide overall approval. Village 9 5 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 4.1 Fire Sprinklers Fire sprinklers will be installed in conformance with Section 903 of the California Fire Code. All single family residences and duplexes will be required to have fire sprinklers in conformance with the California Residential Code (CRC). 4.2 Fire Monitoring Systems Fire monitoring systems shall be installed in conformance with Section 907 of the California Fire Code (2007). 5.0 FIRE SERVICES The City of Chula Vista is in the process of updating their Fire Master Plan. Currently there is no requirement to locate a new fire station within Village 9. The nearest fire station is Station 7, located at 1640 Santa Venetia Road,within Village 2. Station 7 has 24 assigned staff with eight on duty at any given time, including the Battalion Chief. Another station is proposed within the East Urban Center. The anticipated date for completion and location of this station is unknown at this time (See Eastern Urban Center Trigger Analysis). Station 7 is approximately 3.29 miles from the farthest proposed residential lots on the southern boundary of the project(Figure 4). The travel time from Station 7 to this portion of the project is estimated to be 5.8 minutes based on an average speed of 35 mph north of Otay Valley Road and 25 mph south of Otay Valley Road. The proposed fire station (Fire Station 10) in the East Urban Center will be approximately 1.77 miles from the southernmost lots of the proposed development based on an average speed of 35 mph north of Otay Valley Road and 25 mph south of Otay Valley Road (Figure 4). Once operable the estimated travel time is approximately 3.9 minutes (234 seconds). The City of Chula Vista Growth Management Ordinance states properly equipped and staffed fire and medical units shall respond to calls throughout the city within seven minutes in 80 percent of the cases (City Municipal Code Section 19.09.040). All portions of the por ect can be reached with the required response time within the Growth Management Ordinance, as a result the project has adequate fire and emergency medical services.

The City of Chula Vista has adopted the map (Ordinance 3113§ 1, 2008). The project is not located in an area identified as a "Very High Fire Hazard Zone" as recommended by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Figure 5). The following sections discuss the surrounding land use, topography,vegetation, climate, and fire history. 6.1 Surrounding Land Use and Topography The project site is primarily surrounded by undeveloped lands, primarily dry farming. (Figure 3). SR-125 Toll Road is west of the project site, and Otay River is to the south (Figure 6). The proposed development area spans the project site with a limited amount of open space in the southern corners. The site is gently sloping to the south with steeper slopes to the southwest and southeast. The elevations onsite range from approximately 275 feet to 621 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). 6.2 Vegetation Plant communities on and off-site were mapped by URS and included as Figure 7. Three plant communities within the on-site open space and adjacent to the project site were considered for fuel load: Diegan coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and non-native grassland. The coastal sage scrub would also represent the maritime succulent scrub, a limited amount of which occurs adjacent to the project site to the south. The fuel loading for non- native grassland is considered a conservative representative of the agriculture and disturbed habitat adjacent to the site. Developed land also occurs adjacent to the project site. The proposed open space is composed primarily of coastal sage scrub, succulent scrub, and some non-native grassland. Photograph 1 illustrates the chaparral habitat offsite to the south. Photograph 2 illustrates the coastal sage scrub habitat proposed to be preserved within the on-site open space. Photograph 3 represents the dry farmed areas on and adjacent to the site. Photograph 1. Chaparral offsite near the southern boundary Village 9 8 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 I 1 Photograph 2.

These climate zones are determined by several factors: proximity to the ocean, terrain, elevation, and latitude. Using the Koppen system, the metropolitan areas of Southern California have a Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, very dry summers. The Mediterranean climate includes all coastal areas, valleys and foothills. Annual precipitation amounts increase gradually from the coast to the mountain crests, then drop dramatically into the deserts. Most precipitation comes from winter storms between November and March. The site is located within the coastal climate zone (Figure 8). Average rainfall is 11 inches per year(Western Regional Climate Center). 6.4 Fire History The fire history of the site and surrounding area (approximately 2.5 mile diameter) was reviewed (Figure 9). The source of the fire history information is the California Department of Forestry Fire and Resource Assessment Data from 2007. The Otay Fire 94 occurred in the southeastern portion of the site in October 1994 (Table 1). One additional fire burned within the 2.5 miles surrounding area between 1910 and 2007, an unnamed fire in 1979 (Table 2). For those fires within the figure itself with known dates of origin, the majority of them occurred during the summer and fall months of June through November. Table 2.Burn History of the Site and Vicinity Name Year Month Day Acres Cause A enc None 1979 Unknown Unknown 211 Miscellaneous USF Otay 9 4 1994 10 10 2983 Campfire CDF 7.0 RISK ASSESSMENT—WILDLAND FIRE The area does not have a significant history of burning from wildland fires as discussed in Section 6.4—Fire History. The site is proposed to be developed in several phases. The remaining on-site vegetation threat would primarily be a small amount of coastal sage scrub that is proposed to be preserved within open space. Coastal sage scrub occurs offsite to the west and to the south of the project site. Dry farmed land or grasslands primarily occur to the east of the project. Fire modeling indicates a spotting distance of 1.9 miles,which encompasses the entire project. 7.1 Fuel Modeling Fire modeling was performed using Behave Plus 4.0 for two types of weather conditions, a Santa Ana condition (Fall), including gusts, and a normal weather condition (Summer). RAWS (Remote Automated Weather Station) data was not available. Weather data are Village 9 13 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 I WO.

Weather data are included in Appendix A. The results of the modeling are summarized here and included in Appendix B. The adjacent topography is varied. The offsite threat is primarily from dry farmed land on the west, north and east. A conservative slope of 20% and GR4 were used to model this habitat. Southern California fuel model SCAL 18 (sage/buckwheat) was used to represent the coastal sage scrub within the open space on the south of the property on and off-site. The coastal sage scrub onsite is associated with a slope of 16%. A conservative slope of 20% was used to model this habitat. Table 3 identifies the weather inputs for each of the conditions: Santa Ana,peak and summer. Table 3.Weather Inputs Period Temperature Relative Sustained Wind Fahrenheit Humidity Speed (mph) Peak Gusts 900 04% 32 Santa Ana 900 04% 25 Summer 900 10-14% 5 Modeling was performed for coastal sage scrub and agricultural lands found within and adjacent to the proposed development. Table 4 identifies the habitats and fuel models used to represent the habitat. Table 4.Habitats and Fuel Models Habitat Fuel Description* Model Dry Climate Grasslands GR4 The primary carrier of fire in this model is continuous, dry-climate grasses. The typical depth is two feet. This is a conservative model of for non-native grassland present onsite and to the east. This model allows that the grasslands may not always be mown. Coastal Sage Scrub SCAL This fuel model has been developed for a 18 common southern California habitat, coastal sage scrub. Chaparral SH7 The primary carrier of fire in this fuel model is woody shrubs and shrub litter. The typical depth is 4-6 feet. This is an appropriate model for southern mixed chaparral which typically has very little herbaceous composition and has leaf litter. Chaparral 4 Fire intensity and fast-spreading fires involve the foliage and live and dead fine woody material in the crowns of a nearly continuous secondary overstory. Stands of mature shrubs, 6 Village 9 16 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 Table 4.Habitats and Fuel Models Habitat Fuel Description* Model or more feet tall, such as California mixed chaparral, is typical. Besides flammable foliage, dead woody material in the stands significantly contributes to the fire intensity. Height of stands qualifying for this model depends on local conditions. A deep litter layer may also hamper suppression. This model is an ultra-conservative model for the habitat to the south of the site. The habitat to the south is much more open. * The complete model parameters are included as Appendix C. The full results of the modeling are included in Appendix B and summarized below for each weather period 7.1.1 Santa Ana Condition A Santa Ana weather condition is potentially the worst weather for fire. Santa Ana's typically occur from September to May. The fall Santa Ana can create extremely dangerous fire conditions because they are associated with high temperatures, high winds coming from the north/northeast and low humidity. They also occur after long periods of no rain when the vegetation is in a drought stress condition. The soft shrubs that compose habitats such as coastal sage scrub are semi-drought deciduous and have typically lost the majority of their foliage by the end of summer. Fire Behavior Santa Ana winds result in a wind-driven fire. These winds typically come from the northeast. Santa Ana winds are Foehn winds, which are warm, dry winds that result from air spilling over high elevations and moving downhill. These are gravity winds that typically follow the ground. When gravity winds hit an obstacle they can either split around the obstacle and continue, or follow the object to the top, launch over the top, and result in an area behind the obstacle with normal wind conditions. The site is generally the southern facing slope of an east/west trending valley containing the Otay River. A Santa Ana wind would drive the fire to the west along the river valley with topography leading it up the slopes to the project site. There is a large area of undeveloped land within the river valley that would result in a potential fire being able to move north toward the site. Fire Modeling Modeling was performed using the Santa Ana weather conditions identified in Table 3 and the fuel model identified in Table 4. Village 9 17 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 Table 5.Results for a Santa Ana Fire Coastal Grassland/ Shrub 7 Fuel Sage Scrub Agriculture Model 4 Flame Length 26' 17' 25' 42' Rate of Spread 103 ch/h 352 ch/h 134 ch/h 327 ch/h Probability of Ignition 89% 89% 89% 89% Spotting Distance 1 1.1 mi 0.8 mi 1.0 mi 1.5 mi 7.1.2 Peak Conditions Peak conditions are the extreme conditions during a Santa Ana event. The peak winds represent the gusts that occur during a Santa Ana. Fire Behavior The fire behavior would be essentially the same as during a Santa Ana; however, the gusts could significantly increase the rate of spread and the distance that fire brands travel during the time that they are occurring. Fire Modeling Modeling was performed using the peak weather conditions identified in Table 3 and the fuel model identified in Table 4. Table 6.Results for Peak Conditions Coastal Grassland/ Shrub 7 Fuel Sage Scrub Agriculture Model 4 Flame Length 31' 22' 29' 50' Rate of Spread 131 ch/h 508 ch/h 177 ch/h 467 ch/h Probability of Ignition 89% 89% 89% 89% Spotting Distance 1 1.4 mi 1.1 mi 1 1.3 1 1.9 7.1.3 Normal Weather Condition Normal weather conditions consist of an onshore flow from the southwest. This condition has a lower temperature and higher humidity than a Santa Ana condition. Fire Behavior A fire under normal conditions is typically a fuel-driven fire; however, wind will also contribute to the rate of spread. A fire that started offsite to the south would also be influenced by topography, with the project being at higher elevations than the undeveloped land offsite. Village 9 18 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 Fuel Modeling Modeling was performed using the summer weather conditions identified in Table 3 and the fuel model identified in Table 4. Table 7.Results for a Summer Fire Coastal Grassland/ Shrub 7 Fuel Sage Scrub Agriculture Model 4 Flame Length 15' 7.5' 12' 17' Rate of Spread 28 ch/h 45 ch/h 25 ch/h 45 ch/h Probability of Ignition 89% 89% 89% 89% Spotting Distance 1 0.2 mi 0.1 mi 0.2 mi 0.3 mi Based on the modeling, the greatest anticipated flame length is from the chaparral burning during a Peak Santa Ana fire. The resulting flame length is 50 feet. The remaining flame lengths are less than 31 feet. The model is an estimate of the flame lengths that can be anticipated. Actual fire behavior can be more or less intensive. 8.0 FIRE RESISTIVE CONSTRUCTION As a result of the project being located within the UWI, and all of the residential structures being located within the potential spotting distance of 1.9 miles, all residential structures shall implement fire resistive construction. Construction methods shall follow Chapter 7A of the California Building Code, "Materials and Construction Methods for Exterior Wildfire Exposure" (htlp://www.fire.ca.gov/fire prevention/downloads/ICC_2009_Ch7A_2007 rev_lJan09_ Supplement.pdf) (Appendix D) or more stringent building code requirements if adopted by the City of Chula Vista. 9.0 FUEL MANAGEMENT AND FIRE PROTECTION PLANNING AREAS As this project is a unique combination of risks and mixed use, Village 9 has been divided into three Fire Protection Planning Areas (FPPA) to differentiate the proposed fuel management procedures. The majority of the project consists of graded, relatively flat developed areas with hardscape or landscaping. These areas present more of an urban fire risk than an Urban Wildland Interface (UWI) risk. The area adjacent to the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Conservation Area — Habitat Preserve (Preserve) to the south is the primary fuel threat. This area will be described as FPPA A (Figure 10—Map Pocket). Village 9 19 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 FPPA B is composed of the remainder of the perimeter slopes that have steep manufactured slopes of 2:1 and an elevation change of 10 feet or greater. FPPA B is not adjacent to the MSCP. FPPA C is composed of the remainder of the interior slopes that have steep manufactured slopes of 2:1 and an elevation change of 10 feet or greater. The purpose of the fuel management zone (FMZ) is to provide the necessary defensible space for fire suppression and to reduce the radiant heat and convective heat that would result from a fire. Overall onsite fuel management shall be funded through the Community Facilities District (CFD) and/or Landscape Maintenance District and administered by the City of Chula Vista. This will ensure long-term maintenance of these areas. Private landowners are prohibited from conducting any fuel/brush management activities outside of their private property. No combustible construction is permitted by the homeowners, HOA, or developer, or their agents, within the Fuel Management Zones without written authorization from the Chula Vista Fire Department. No brush management shall occur within the MSCP. Fire-resistive construction is that construction designed to prevent or slow the spread of fire using materials and assemblies tested for their fire-resistive properties. 9.1 Fire Protection Planning Area A The project will provide a minimum of 150 feet of fuel management adjacent to the Preserve, as required by the City of Chula Vista Final MSCP Subarea Plan, Section 7.4.7.1, Brush Management in the Otay Ranch PMA (2003). Property adjacent to the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Conservation Area — Habitat Preserve (Preserve) will have 150 feet of fuel management divided into three 50 foot wide zones. Zone 1 is adjacent to the structures and 50 feet in width. Zone 1 may contain some area in the backyards of Lots 42 and 67. A structure restricted easement shall be placed on the portion of the lots that encroach into Zone 1. Zone 2 will be the next 50 feet followed by Zone 3, which is adjacent to the MSCP (Figure 10). No structures (as defined in this document) shall be built within the fuel management zones. The plant palette will consist of those plants identified in Appendix E. No plants shall be allowed from Appendix F which includes: • City of Chula Vista Final MSCP Subarea Plan (2002), Appendix N, List of Invasive Species • City of Chula Vista Final MSCP Subarea Plan (2002), Appendix K, List of Undesirable Plants included with the "San Diego County Fire Chief s Association Fuel Modification Zone Plant List (2008)" Village 9 20 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 9.1.1 Zones Zone 1 Zone 1 is the area closest to the structure and is 50 feet in width. For the purposes of fuel management, the term "structure" is defined as: "any building greater than 144 square feet in size". • Decks, sheds, gazebos, freestanding open-sided shade covers, and similar accessory structures less than 144 square feet and 30 feet or more from a dwelling, and fences more than 5 feet from a dwelling, are not considered structures for the establishment of a fuel modification zone. • Zone 1 will be will be composed of landscaped low-fuel native plants and/or hardscape. Plants must be low growing (less than 18 inches), including groundcover and vines. Exceptions to this maximum height limitation are: o Trees are allowed provided: • No tree canopies are lower than 13' 6" over roadways. • No trees or limbs are permitted within 10 feet of a structure. • Trees must be spaced 20' apart between mature canopies, 40' if on slopes equal to or greater than 2:1. These distances are measured on a horizontal plane and not along the slope. • No flammable manufactured items are permitted. • Trees must be limbed up to three times the height of the understory for mature trees, or ten feet,whichever is greater. • Fuel management within this zone shall consist of landscape plantings that are maintained to not create fire hazards near structures. Zone 2 Zone 2 extends 50 feet beyond Zone 1, and requires that vegetation be limited to two to three feet high. The critical brush management activity in Zone 2 is the clearing of dead underbrush. Portions of Zone 2 may be cleared as a result of grading for the project and as a result some of the following requirements will not apply. • Thinning shall be performed such that any native vegetation retained is composed of small patches with spacing in-between. Thinning shall prioritize the removal of the plants on the Undesirable Plant List(Appendix F). • The only vegetation allowed is that found in the Approved Plant List (Appendix E). Native shrubs allowed to remain can be pruned and thinned to reduce fuel load and be aesthetically pleasing. Shrubs clusters will not exceed 400 sq. feet. • Shrub cluster density shall be reduced to a distance of no less than the width of the largest shrub's mature spread between each cluster or 20 feet, whichever is greater. • Vegetation within Zone 2 shall be limited in maximum height to 36". Randomly placed CVFD-approved succulent type plant materials may exceed the height Village 9 21 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 limitation provided they are spaced in groups of no larger than three plants and a minimum of five feet away from described"clear access routes." • Brush management shall be accomplished through hand clearing. • No hedges are allowed. • Trees are allowed as stated under Zone 1,with restrictions stated herein. • All plants listed on the City of Chula Vista Final MSCP Subarea Plan (2002), Appendix N, Lists of Invasive Species shall be removed and City of Chula Vista Final MSCP Subarea Plan (2002), Appendix K, List of Undesirable Plants included with the "San Diego County Fire Chief's Association Fuel Modification Zone Plant List(2008)" • Zone 2 may have temporary irrigation installed as required to ensure adequate vegetative cover for slope stability and removed after plant establishment. • Zone 2 areas adjacent to the Preserve shall have non-emergency brush management undertaken, to the maximum extent practicable, outside the bird breeding season (April 1 through June 31) in areas where breeding and/or nesting may occur. Zone 3 Zone 3 is the 50 foot wide area adjacent to the MSCP. This area shall be planted with fire resistive vegetation. Plants will be limited to 36" in height. Randomly placed CVFD- approved succulent type plant materials may exceed the height limitation provided they are spaced in groups of no larger than three plants and a minimum of five feet away from described "clear access routes." Shrub cluster density shall be reduced to a distance of no less than the width of the largest shrub's mature spread or 20 feet, whichever is greater. 9.2 Fire Protection Planning Area B (FPPA B) This area is shown on Figure 10. FPPA B varies in width depending on the location. FPPA area B will include the plant palette outlined in Appendix E. FPPA B will follow the installation, spacing and maintenance requirements for FPPA Zones 1 and 2 unless specified by the City of Chula Vista Fire Marshal. 9.3 Fire Protection Planning Area C Fire Protection Planning Area C is composed of the interior slopes that have steep manufactured slopes of 2:1 and an elevation change of 10 feet or greater. This zone varies in width. Types and spacing of plants, trees and shrubs are outlined on the Landscape Master Plan. These areas may include privately maintained slopes or slopes maintained by the C.F.D. 9.4 Offsite Fuel Management An offsite easement for fuel management will be required for 100 feet adjacent to Neighborhood DD (Lots 18, 40) and Area CC. The offsite easement will be located Village 9 22 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 within FPPA area B. Requirements are discussed in Section 9.2. This easement may be vacated or reduced at the discretion of the Chula Vista Fire Department and Development Services Department, City of Chula Vista,based on subsequent development. • Other plant species may be used upon the approval of the Fire Marshal and Assistant City Manager/Development Services. 9.5 Maintenance For All Fire Protection Planning Areas All zones shall be maintained in accordance with Sections 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3. Zone 1 • Conduct annual, or more frequent if necessary, maintenance to reduce fuel volumes, remove dead and detached material, and maintain in healthy succulent condition. Some private landowners have fuel management Zone 1 occurring on their property and are responsible for maintenance of this area within their lot lines. The covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs) for the parcels with Zone 1 on their property shall reflect free and full access for City of Chula Vista Fire Department and Public Works Department to monitor and enforce brush abatement. Gates shall not prevent the access of these personnel to conduct these inspections. Fuel management within the individual boundaries of these lots is the responsibility of the lot owner. During initial implementation and before these lots are sold the lots will be maintained by the developer. Maintain irrigation in a working condition (if applicable); • Mature trees greater than 18' shall be limbed up to a minimum of 6' above the ground or 3 times the height of the groundcover,whichever is greater; • No tree limbs within 10' of chimneys or dead limbs overhanging structures; • Trees adjacent to or overhanging roadways, driveways, or other emergency access paths shall be maintained with a minimum height clearance of 13' 6". Zone 2 and 3 • Conduct annual, or more frequent if necessary, maintenance to reduce fuel volumes, remove dead and detached material, and maintain in healthy succulent condition; • Conduct annual removal of plants on the invasive plant list that may have become established. (FPPA A only) Vegetation maintenance shall be the responsibility of the Landscape Maintenance District, it successors or assignees, or owner. Overall onsite fuel management shall be funded through the Community Facilities District (CFD) and/Landscape Maintenance District and administered by the City of Chula Vista. This will ensure long-term maintenance of these areas. Village 9 23 Fire Protection Plan March 2012 9.6 Fuel Management During Construction/Phase Implementation During phase implementation fuel management shall be implemented. Fuel management zones required for a particular parcel shall be installed and maintained prior to flammable material being brought onto the parcel. This applies even if fuel management has to occur on adjacent parcels. Lots that are vacant will not be required to have brush management until construction begins, except those portions within 100 feet of any structure under construction or existing, then normal fuel management zones apply. 9.7 Fuel Management for Parks and Community Open Space This section applies only to parks and community open space within the development. This section specifically does not apply to the MSCP preserve area in the southeastern portion of the project site. Parks and community open space shall be maintained in a fire safe manner. Types and spacing of plants, trees and shrubs will be as identified on the Landscape Master Plan. 9.8 Emergency Brush Management In the event that the City Fire Marshal determines an emergency situation exists, minimal additional brush management may be undertaken under the direction of the Fire Marshal. In such an emergency situation, the Fire Marshal will adhere to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Wildlife Agencies, California Department of Forestry, the San Diego County Fire Chief's Association, and the Fire District's Association of San Diego County dated February 26, 1997 10.0 GUIDELINES FOR PLANTING IN FUEL MODIFICATION ZONES Planting in fuel modification areas shall be in accordance with the following guidelines: 1. Limit planting in large unbroken masses, especially trees and large shrubs,while simultaneously trying to achieve the desired screening. Groups should be two (2) or three (3)maximum,with mature foliage of any group separated horizontally by at least twenty (20) feet.

This plan presents a review of presently available technologies and practices which result in water conservation in primarily residential development. This report presents water conservation measures that will be incorporated into the planning and design of Otay Ranch Village 9,including the requirements outlined in the Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance. The project includes Otay Ranch Village 9. Proposed development within the Village 9 project includes 4,000 mixed density residential dwelling units, two schools, commercial, parks, and open space. The residential development proposes 266 single family residential units and 3,734 multi-family units and will be planned as a university oriented urban village. The Otay Water District is the local water agency that will supply potable water and recycled water to Village 9. The total estimated average potable and recycled water use for the project is 1.35 mgd and 0.12 mgd, respectively. The State and local government have mandated a number of water conservation measures. The focus of this study is on the implementation of non-mandated water conservation measures. The project will install hot water pipe insulation,pressure reducing valves,and water efficient dishwashers in all single family and multi-family residential units. Additionally,the developer will install evapotranspiration controllers and dual flush toilets in the single family residential units and utilize water efficient irrigation systems and evapotranspiration controllers for the non-residential sites. The project will be designed in compliance with the Water Conservation Ordinance. At buildout of the project, implementation of the above measures along with the use of recycled water would result in an estimated water savings of 220,030 gallons per day for the project. II-8.2 INTRODUCTION In recent years, the subject of water conservation has been given increased attention. The growing awareness of the need and value of water conservation has been sparked by local and regional water purveyors concerned about meeting the future water demands of their customers,particularly during drought conditions. Water conservation provides an alternative DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC. PAGE II approach to the problem of finding new water sources to meet the water demand for a proposed community. The intent of water conservation is to manage water demand so that the customers receive adequate service but use less water. Much has been done to educate consumers about limitations of water supply, the serious implications of a long-term drought and the need for water conservation,but there is a practical limit to the percentage reduction of water use in established communities. This limit is a result of the types of plumbing fixtures installed in existing homes as well as the difficulty in altering consumers' established patterns of water use. Any water conservation effort, voluntary or mandatory, requires the cooperation of the public. Public information should be utilized to inform and convince the consumer that a change in personal water use habits is in everyone's best interest. In recent years, the private development sector has become more attuned to the concerns of water availability and has recognized the value of addressing water conservation issues throughout planned development projects. By incorporating low water use plumbing fixtures, promoting drought tolerant landscaping, and providing educational materials to homeowners within the development project, private developments can do much to cultivate an interest in water conservation and establish new patterns of water use. These efforts can have significant impacts with regard to reducing the need for securing and importing larger quantities of water for use in San Diego County. The Landscaping Water Conservation Ordinance went into effect on January 1, 2010 and requires homeowners to be efficient with the landscape systems and plant selection. In 2006 the State repealed the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act and adopted a new Water Conservation in Landscaping Act,Government Code Sections 65591 et seq. The new Act requires the Department of Water Resources to update the previously adopted model efficient landscape ordinance that provides for greater efforts at water conservation and more efficient use of water in landscaping. Government Code Section 65595 requires that on or before January 1,2010 a local agency shall adopt a water efficient landscape ordinance that is at least as effective in conserving water as the updated model ordinance or adopt the model ordinance. If a local agency does not adopt a water efficient landscape ordinance by the deadline, the updated model ordinance shall apply within the local agency's jurisdiction and shall be enforced by the local agency. DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC. PAGE 2 The City of Chula Vista City Council adopted an ordinance that complies with the findings and declaration's of the State's Water Conservation in Landscaping Act and is as effective as the State's updated model water efficient landscape ordinance. This water conservation plan incorporates the requirements of the City ordinance. The Otay Ranch Village 9 project is within the Otay Ranch General Development Plan(GDP). The Otay Ranch GDP was adopted in 1993 and included objectives for water conservation to be incorporated into the development of Otay Ranch. These objectives included the implementation of water efficient fixtures,increased use of drought tolerant landscaping, and use of recycled water for irrigation. The objective of these measures is to reduct the per capita water use within Otay Ranch by 25 percent as compared to 1989 County wide per capita levels. This report will demonstrate how the City,in partnership with the Otay Water District and the development community are meeting these objectives. II-8.3 PURPOSE The State Legislature determined in the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act that the State's water resources are in limited supply. The Legislature also recognized that while landscaping is essential to the quality of life in California,landscape maintenance and design must be water efficient. The City of Chula Vista's Growth Management Ordinance requires that all major development projects (50 dwelling units or greater) prepare a Water Conservation Plan at the time of Sectional Planning Area Plan preparation. The City has adopted guidelines for the preparation and implementation of required water conservation plans. This report will present water conservation measures which will be incorporated into the planning and design of the project, including an estimate of the anticipated water savings. Approximately half of the water used by residences in California is used outdoors. For this reason,the City's Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance will be an important component of reduce water usage. Although not covered in detail, there are several secondary benefits to conserving water that should be kept in mind when reviewing material in this report. These benefits include reduced sewage flows, reduced natural gas use, and reduced electricity use. Using less water in the shower,for example,reduces the amount of water input into the sewer system and reduces the amount of energy required to heat the water. DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC.

The Otay Water District relies solely on the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) for its potable water supply. The SDCWA is the largest of 27 member agencies of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), which is the primary importer of domestic water in Southern California. II-8.6 PROJECTED WATER USE II-8.6a Potable Water Demand Water use is affected by, among other things, climate and the type of development. In California, recent trends towards the construction of more multi-unit housing, the general reduction in residential lot size, and a number of local agency water conservation programs in effect are all tending to reduce per capita water consumption. Potable water demands were projected by taking the total development for each land use and multiplying by water use factors. Table 2 provides the projected potable water demand for Village 9. The total estimated potable water use is 1.35 mgd. The potable water usage will be reduced by the use of recycled water within common landscaped areas of the project and implementation of water conservation measures (see Table 7). Potable water use factors were taken from the October 2008 Otay Water District Water Resources Master Plan.

Table 4 summarizes the conservation measures that are currently mandated by the State of California and also provides the requirements if the Draft 2010 California Green Building Standards Code is implemented. TABLE 4 MANDATED WATER CONSERVATION DEVICES Device Baseline 2010 Green Building in Requirement Code Requirement Showerheads 2.5 gpm 2.0 gpm Lavatory Faucets 2.2 gpm 1.5 gpm Sink Faucets 2.2 gpm 1.8 gpm Metering Faucets in Public Restrooms 0.25-0.75 gal/cycle 0.25 gal/cycle Residential Water Closets 1.6 gpf 1.28 gpf Flushometer Valves 1.6 gpf 1.28 gpf Commercial Water Closets 1.6 gpf 1.28 gpf Urinals 1.0 gpf 0.5 gpf II-8.8 LOCAL WATER CONSERVATION REQUIREMENTS There are a number of water conserving measures required by the Otay Water District and City of Chula Vista Landscape Manual. These include the use of recycled water for the irrigation of parks, median landscaping, open space slopes, and common landscaped areas where feasible. The Landscape Manual also requires some drought tolerant plant selection in the landscaping plan and the use of evapotranspiration controllers for parks and common landscaped areas. Additionally, the Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance that went into effect January 1, 2010 is expected to reduce outdoor water usage, particularly in single family residential lots. The City of Chula Vista Water Conservation Plan Guidelines requires the following three indoor water conservation measures for residential units and non-residential units. These measures are mandatory. DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC. PAGE II II Residential Measures -Mandatory 1. Hot Water Pipe Insulation. This measure involves the insulation of hot water pipes with 1-inch walled pipe insulation and separation of hot and cold water piping. This measure is estimated to cost an additional$50 during initial construction and result in annual savings of 2,400 gallons per residential unit. 2. Pressure Reducing Valves. Setting the maximum service pressure to 60 psi reduces any leakage present and prevents excessive flow of water from all appliances and fixtures. This measure is estimated to cost$100 during initial construction and result in annual water savings of 1,800 gallons per residential unit. 3. Water Efficient Dishwashers. There are a number of water efficient dishwashers available that carry the Energy Star label. These units cost an additional $500 on average and result in an estimated yearly water savings of 650 gallons per residential unit. Non-Residential Measures - Mandatory 1. Hot water pipe insulation with 1-inch walled pipe insulation. 2. Compliance with Division 5.3 of the California Green Building Standards Code in effect at the time of plan submittal. 3. Pressure reducing valves. Non-Mandatory Measures In addition, to comply with the City's current water conservation requirements,the developer must select at least one outdoor measure and one additional indoor or outdoor water conservation measure for residential development and non-residential development. Water conservation measures not included in the City's Residential Water Conservation Measures list may be proposed by the developer. The developer will implement, from the City's list of approved measures, the following two additional non-mandatory measures in single family residential units, multi-family residential units, and non-residential units. DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC. PAGE II 2 1. Dual Flush Toilets. The developer will install dual flush toilets within the project. This measure is estimated to cost $200 per household and result in annual water savings of 4,000 gallons per year per residential unit. 2. Water Efficient Landscaping. The developer will comply with the City's Landscape Water Conservation Ordinance to reduce outdoor water use. This will include a more drought tolerant plant selection including less turf area as well as installation of water efficient irrigation systems. While the estimated savings from this measure is difficult to quantify at this stage of planning,it is estimated that outdoor water usage at single family residences will be reduced by a minimum of 10 percent, or approximately 25 gpd per home. II-8.9 WATER CONSERVATION ESTIMATED SAVINGS The estimated water savings for water conservation measures are based on the estimates provided in Section II-8.8 of this report. The potential water savings varies widely based on land use types. Multi-family residential units, for example, have much less opportunity to implement additional water saving measures than low density single family residential units. This is primarily because the common landscaped areas of multi-family units are required to be irrigated with recycled water and,thus,there are no outdoor water conservation measures that can directly offset potable water usage in these areas. Tables 5 and 6 summarize the total estimated water savings for Village 9 based on the proposed required measures and non-mandatory measures described above. DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC.

DEXTER WILSON ENGINEERING, INC. PAGE II 4 Water Conservation Summary As detailed in this report,the Village 9 project is committed to being water efficient through the use of recycled water for irrigation and utilizing other water conservation devices and measures. Table 7 summarizes the baseline potable water use if recycled water and water conservation measures were not utilized and provides the anticipated water savings outlined in this report. As shown, the use of recycled water and other water conservation measures is expected to reduce potable water usage by 220,030 gpd, or 15.1 percent. As evidenced by the information contained in this study,the objectives of the Otay Ranch GPD to incorporate water saving fixtures, drought tolerant landscaping, and recycled water usage into the development are being met. Based on information contained in the 1989 San Diego County Water Authority Annual Report,average water use within the Otay Water District was 220 gallons per day per capita (20,469.7 AF for a population of 83,000). Based on 2007 data from the OWD 2008 Master Plan,per capita water usage has dropped to approximately 189 gpd (33.26 mgd for a population of 186,000). These per capita numbers include non-residential demands, but clearly indicate the effectiveness that the above measures are having and this trend is expected to continue as adopted guidelines are increasingly focused on reducing per capita water use.

INTRODUCTION A. Purpose and Content The purpose and intent of this Affordable Housing Program (AHP) is to encourage the development of diverse and balanced neighborhoods with a range of housing opportunities for all identifiable economic segments of the population, including households of lower and moderate income consistent with the City's housing policies and needs as specified in its General Plan Housing Element. The intent is to ensure that when developing the limited supply of developable land, housing opportunities for persons of all income levels are provided. The provisions of this AHP establish standards and procedures that will encourage the development of housing affordable to low and moderate income households within the Sectional Planning Area(SPA). The AHP identifies the type and location of affordable housing units to be provided, potential subsidies or incentive programs, income restrictions and methods to verify compliance. The program may be implemented through various mechanisms including development agreements, tentative map conditions, and specific housing project agreements that may include additional terms and conditions, consistent with this program. B. Needs Assessment According to San Diego Association of Government's (SANDAG) Preliminary 2050 Cities/Counties Forecast, Chula Vista is expected to gain 92,454 new residents and 28,755 new households. Furthermore, SANDAG, through its Regional Housing Needs Allocation, estimated that based on anticipated economic growth for the period beginning January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2020, the City would experience a demand for 12,125 new housing units, of which 6,303 new housing units affordable to low and very low income households and 2,220 new housing units for moderate income households. To encourage the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low and moderate-income households and to further geographic and community balance, the City's adopted Housing Element provides for a Balanced Communities Policy, requiring ten percent (10%) affordable housing for low and moderate income households within developments of fifty (50) or more residential units. This inclusionary housing program will serve as only one component of the City's overall housing strategy and will complement other affordable housing efforts, including preservation of existing assisted housing, development of new assisted housing with public subsidies, first-time homebuyer assistance, and rehabilitation loans for low income homeowners. The City does find that such an inclusionary housing policy is beneficial to increasing the supply of housing affordable to households of lower and moderate income incomes and to meet the City's regional share of housing needs given the demographics of the community and its needs, past housing production performance, and the existing opportunities and constraints as detailed in its Housing Element. Page 1 10/10/13 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program The current characteristics of the City's population, housing, employment, land inventory, and economic conditions, that affect its housing goals, policies and programs include: • The population has more diversity in race/ethnicity than the region, in that 20% of the population is white (non-Hispanic) and 60% is Hispanic (all races). This compares to - percent and -percent, respectively, for the region as a whole. • Chula Vista residents have household income characteristics that nearly match the regional median. • There is a disparity in household median income for those households living west of Interstate-805 ($47,969) and east of Interstate-805 ($86,032). • One in every 4 households earn less than $35,000 per year. • Household size is slightly larger than the region, at 3.21 persons per household compared to 2.75 per household for the region. • Seniors, aged 65 years or older, comprise 10% of the total households. • Housing west of Interstate-805 was built primarily before 1980 (32% before 1960 and 50% between 1960-1980). Housing east of Interstate-805 was built after 1980,with 41%built between 1980-2000, and 50%built after 2000. • Housing types are diverse west of I-805, with 41% multifamily housing and 41% single family housing. Single family homes comprise the majority of housing available east of I-805 (82% of housing). • A home ownership rate of 58.1 percent is slightly above as the region's rate of 54 percent. • The median housing cost(resale) in 2011 of$305,000 is $15,000 less than the region's median cost of$320,000. • The well-established neighborhoods and master planned neighborhoods create different opportunities and require a different set of policies and programs to address housing needs. • The amount of land in the City available for new residential development is severely limited by geography and size. The largest supply of vacant developable land is planned for master planned communities. • A high rate of new home construction is anticipated due to the many approved master planned communities in the City. • Reinvestment in the well-established neighborhoods of Chula Vista continues to be needed. • The City's diverse employment base will grow by more than 73% between 2008 and 2050, with the majority of growth in the retail, service and governmental sectors. Page 2 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program • Based upon past production of housing, sufficient housing opportunities for households with incomes at or below the Area Median Income have not been provided. • Despite substantial investments of Federal HOME funds and funding from the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund (prior to the dissolution of Redevelopment), the City has not been able to produce all the units called for in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Chula Vista faces a growing shortage of housing that is affordable to a wide range of our population and needed for a healthy functioning housing market. This lack of affordable housing is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the City's residents. Employees may be forced to live in less than adequate housing within the City, pay a disproportionate share of their incomes to live in adequate housing within the City or commute increasing distances to their jobs from housing located outside the City. The City's Balanced Communities Policy can enhance the public welfare by increasing the supply of housing affordable to households of lower and moderate income incomes in a balanced manner and thereby combating the adverse effects to the City due to an insufficient supply of affordable housing. II. VILLAGE 9 AFFORDABLE HOUSING OBLIGATION, LOCATION, PHASING, DESIGN AND UNIT MIX A. Obligation The City of Chula Vista Housing Element, Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy, and the Otay Ranch GDP provide that ten percent of the total units will be affordable to low and moderate income households. Of the ten percent, five percent must be affordable to low income households and five percent must be affordable to moderate income households. In calculating the required number of affordable units, fractional units may result and may either be provided as one additional affordable unit or paid as a partial in-lieu fee equal to the resulting fraction. The estimated Village 9 affordable housing unit obligation is based on the Village 9 SPA entitlement authorization of 4,000 units within the Village. The affordable units required for Village 9 are 200 low income and 200 moderate-income affordable units. B. Typos of Affordable Housing The housing policies established in the City of Chula Vista Housing Element advocate a broad variety and diversity of housing types. The affordable housing obligations of Village 9 will be met through a combination of housing types including rental and "for-sale" housing. In general, low-income housing needs will be satisfied through the provision of rental units. Depending upon the availability of adequate subsidies, incentives or other financing assistance, a limited number of "for-sale" multi-family housing units affordable to low income households may be Page 3 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program available as well. Housing opportunities to meet the needs of moderate income households will be provided through a combination of market-rate rental units as well as "for-sale" housing in medium-high to higher density developments. C. Location The location of affordable housing developments shall take into consideration proximity to and availability of the following: • Existing or proposed public transit facilities or transportation routes; • Existing or proposed community facilities and services, such as shopping, medical, child care,recreation areas and schools; and • Existing or future employment opportunities. Affordable housing sites within Village 9 are designated as multifamily and/or mixed use development sites and are located within or adjacent to the Village Core, as depicted in Exhibit A: Potential Affordable Housing Sites. These sites are in close proximity to parks, schools, public transportation, retail commercial and community purpose facilities. . Identification of potential target sites in this Affordable Housing Program describes one way in which the Village 9 affordable housing obligation might be met, and is not meant to require that affordable units be constructed on any specific sites or to preclude other alternatives. A final determination as to the location and type of the affordable housing sites will occur with subsequent entitlements, approvals and agreements and shall be in compliance with the City's goals, policies and programs contained within the General Plan, the Balanced Communities Policy Guidelines and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP). D. Phasing Development of Village 9 will be completed in multiple phases to ensure construction of necessary infrastructure and amenities for each phase as the project progresses. The Phasing Plan is non-sequential. This recognizes that sequential phasing is frequently inaccurate due to unforeseen market changes or regulatory constraints. Therefore, the Village 9 SPA Plan and Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) permits non-sequential phasing by imposing specific facilities requirements for each phase to ensure that Village 9 is adequately served and City threshold standards are met.

Phasing of the low and moderate income units in Village 9 is designed to link progress toward the production of such housing to the continued entitlement and development process for the Village 9 SPA Area. The first or "Initial Phase" for construction of the low and moderate-income housing units shall be comprised of 50% of the total number of qualified low and moderate-income housing units and shall commence construction prior to the issuance by the City of the 1,600th production building permit within Village 9 ("Initial Phase"). Construction of the remaining number of required low and moderate-income housing units shall commence prior to the City's issuance of the 3,000t' production building permit ("Final Phase"). A detailed implementation schedule and building permit stipulations for the construction and delivery of affordable units in relation to other market rate units will be established through an Affordable Housing Agreement. Such Agreement will be executed prior to the issuance of the first Final Subdivision Map and recorded against the entire Village. E. Design Affordable housing shall be compatible with the design and use of the market rate units, in terms of appearance, materials, and finish quality. The Developer shall have the option of reducing the interior amenities, levels and square footage of the affordable units. F. Unit Mix by Bedroom Count The affordable units shall have an overall unit mix by bedroom count which reflects the appropriate community need and shall be comparable to the unit mix by bedroom count of the market rate units in the residential development. Given that 21 percent of the households in Chula Vista (according to the 2010 Census) are large families of five persons or more and a desire on the part of the City to provide housing opportunities for these families throughout the City, a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the affordable units shall have three or more bedrooms. Affordable housing to be sold and occupied by income eligible households (for sale units) shall also provide a minimum of two bedrooms. G. Senior Housing Satisfaction of the affordable housing obligation through the provision of housing for senior citizens as defined by Section 51.3 of the California Civil Code, is at the sole discretion of the City of Chula Vista. The City shall consider such housing in relation to the priority needs of the City's low income housing population and should such provide advantages as to location, diversity of housing types, and/or affordability levels. Senior housing is exempt from requirements to provide three or more bedroom units. Page 6 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program III. AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTIONS A. Income Eligibility To determine the eligibility of a household for the low and/or moderate income housing unit, the household purchasing or renting the affordable unit must qualify as a lower income/moderate income household, as established by and amended from time to time pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and as also provided in California Health and Safety Code Sections 50079.5 and 50105. B. Affordable Housing Costs The allowable housing expense paid by a qualifying household shall not exceed a specified fraction of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, for the following classes of housing: 1. Very low-income,rental and for-sale units:30 percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, at 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County, or as provided in Section 50053 (b)(2) and 50052.5 (b)(2) of the California Health and Safety Code. 2. Lower-income,rental units: 30 percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, at 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County, or as provided in Section 50053 (b)(3) of the California Health and Safety Code. 3. Lower-income, for-sale units: 30 percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, at 70 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County or as provided in Section 50052.5 (b) (3) of the California Health and Safety Code. 4. Moderate-income,rental units: 30 percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, at 110 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County or as provided in Section 50053 (b)(4) of the California Health and Safety Code. 5. Moderate-income, for-sale units: 35 percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, at 110 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County or as provided in Section 50052.5 (b)(4) of the California Health and Safety Code. To determine the "Allowable housing expense" include all of the actual or projected monthly or annual recurring expenses required of a household to obtain shelter. 1. For a for-sale unit, allowable housing expenses include payments for principal and interest on a mortgage loan, including any loan insurance fees, property taxes and assessments, fire and casualty insurance, homeowner association fees, and a Page 7 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program reasonable allowance for utilities, or as defined in 25 California Code of Regulations Section 6920. 2. For a rental unit, allowable housing expenses include payments for rent and a reasonable allowance for utilities, or as defined in 25 California Code of Regulations Section 6918. C. Underwriting Requirements To ensure the preservation of affordability of proposed low and moderate-income housing and financial viability of program participants, the City shall encourage the following policies: • Fixed rate mortgages only.No adjustable rate mortgages; • Affordable monthly housing payments no more than 33 percent of household income ("Front End Ratio"). • Total debt payments no more than 45 percent of household income ("Back End Ratio"). • No"teaser"rates; and, • No non-occupant co-borrowers. D. Resale Provisions of Owner Occupied Housing In order to ensure the continued affordability of the units, resale of the units must be restricted for the required term of thirty (30) years. After initial sale of the affordable units to a low-income household, all subsequent buyers of such units must also be income eligible and the unit must be sold at an affordable price. A developer may opt to have no income or sales price restriction for subsequent buyers, provided however that restrictions to the satisfaction of the City are in place that would result in the recapture by the City or its designee of a financial interest in the units equal to the amount of subsidy necessary to make the unit affordable to a low income household and a proportionate share of any equity. Funds recaptured by the City shall be used to provide assistance to other identified affordable housing production or contributions to a special needs housing project or program. To the extent possible, projects using for-sale units to satisfy the obligations of developers under the City's Affordable Housing Program shall be designed to be compatible with conventional mortgage financing programs including secondary market requirements. E. Torre of Affordability Restrictions The term of the affordability restrictions shall be thirty years (30) years from issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the first structure providing income and rent restricted units, or the longest period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental financing subsidy or incentive program. The term of affordability and resale Page 8 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program restrictions for affordable for-sale units are more appropriately described above in "Resale Provisions of Owner Occupied Housing." IV. SUBSIDIES, INCENTIVES AND FINANCING MECHANISMS The obligation to provide affordable housing shall not be dependent upon the availability of subsidies, incentives or financing mechanisms. The City shall consider providing incentives, assistance, and subsidies to those qualifying projects and supporting any applications for assistance that requires approvals from, or allocations by other agencies, to the extent feasible, in a manner that offsets the cost of providing for affordable units. Offsets will be offered by the City to the extent that resources and programs for this purpose are available to the City and to the extent that the qualifying projects, with the use of the offsets, assists in achieving the City's housing goals. To the degree such offsets are available, the Developer may make application to the City. The City agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Developer in pursuing the benefit of certain financing mechanisms, subsidies and other incentives to facilitate provision of affordable housing for Village 9. These mechanisms include, but are not limited to, local, state and federal subsidies and City density bonuses, planning, and design and development techniques and standards, and City fee waivers or deferrals which reduce the cost of providing affordable housing (collectively, the"Cost Reducing Mechanisms"). The parties acknowledge that the City is not hereby committing, directly or through implication, a right to receive any offsets from City or any other party or agency to enable the Developer to meet the obligations and cannot guarantee the availability of any Cost Reducing Mechanisms to the Developer for Village 9. The City reserves the right to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove, in its sole discretion, any Developer request for subsidized financing sponsored by the City. A. Density Bonus Projects that meet the applicable requirements of State law (Government Code Section 65915) as a result of affordable housing units, are entitled to a density bonus or other incentives in accordance with the provisions of such law. V. COMPLIANCE Terms related to occupancy and affordability restrictions shall be recorded as a separate deed restriction or regulatory agreement on the property designated for the affordable units and shall bind all future owners and successors in interest for the term of years specified therein. The City shall monitor affordable units for compliance with those terms and conditions of all relevant Affordable Housing Agreements or other restrictions. The Developer shall submit compliance reports in the frequency and manner prescribed by the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department. Page 9 4/30/14 OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 9 SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN Affordable Housing Program VI. AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING PLAN The Developer shall provide a marketing plan acceptable to the City, in the City's reasonable discretion, for proactively marketing the low and moderate income housing units to low and moderate income tenants and purchasers. Developer shall use good faith and reasonable best efforts to market the low and moderate income housing units to low and moderate income tenants and purchasers according to the affirmative marketing plan. The City will use good faith and reasonable best efforts to assist the Developer in marketing low and moderate income housing units to low and moderate income tenants and purchasers obtaining the services of a third-party organization in connection with such marketing efforts, processing the applications of prospective tenants and purchasers of low and moderate income housing units, and complying with the reporting requirements as required herein. VII. IMPLEMENTING AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS This AHP may be implemented through various mechanisms including development agreements, tentative map conditions, and specific housing project agreements that may impose additional terms and conditions consistent herewith.

28, 1993 the Chula Vista City Council and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors adopted the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP) as a means of implementing the City of Chula Vista General Plan. The GDP resulted from the culmination of over 5 years of planning and provides clear direction and policies regarding the type and intensity of uses that will occur within the roughly 23,000-acre Otay Ranch. Proposed land uses include a series of urban villages, a resort community, the Eastern Urban Center(EUC), industrial parks, rural residential estates, the University/Regional Technology Park(RTP)with associated housing and commercial uses, and extensive open space. The proposed open space consists of approximately 13,000 acres and will complete the City of Chula Vista's greenbelt system while implementing the Chula Vista Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Program (MSCP) Subarea Plan. As the Otay Ranch area has developed over time, the GDP has been periodically amended to address land use and circulation issues specific to individual villages. General Plan and GDP Amendments necessary to address these issues have been processed and approved for Village 9. December 2013 1-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 1 .2 SCOPE AND PURPOSE A central component of the Otay Ranch GDP is the "village" concept. Each village is approximately 1 square mile and is defined by a village core. The village core consists of facilities and services needed to serve the every-day needs of its residents. Such uses include schools, shops, parks, and civic facilities. The density allowed pursuant to this SPA Plan is the result of the City's General Plan policy which states that projects providing extraordinary benefits to the City are allowed more density. The proposed increased densities are contingent upon Otay Land Company(OLC) providing land to the City of Chula Vista for the University/RTP pursuant to the Land Offer Agreement(LOA). The highest density residential uses occur in and around the core in the form of mixed-use housing and retail as well as high-density attached homes. Residential densities decrease near the outer edges of each village to provide diversity in housing and serve a wide range of lifestyles and economic levels within each village. Most village cores include a transit stop. Higher residential densities at the core are intended to support commercial uses by activating the village core during all hours of the day and promote more walkable communities by providing facilities and services within a quarter mile of most homes. The village concept also promotes more efficient public transit and increased ridership by providing strong activity centers in each village and making transit close and convenient for most residents. This Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for Village 9 refines and implements this village concept along with the remaining goals, objectives, and policies of the Otay Ranch GDP adopted in 1993 and amended in 1998, 2005 and 2012, and the 1995 City of Chula Vista General Plan as amended in 2005 and 2012. This plan is provided as required by the Otay Ranch GDP and pursuant to Title 19, Zoning, of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC). This SPA plan defines, in more detail, the development parameters for Village 9, including the intensity and location of development, the character and form of each neighborhood, design criteria, primary transportation patterns, open space and recreational amenities, and infrastructure and services necessary to support the community. 1 .3 LOCATION AND REGIONAL SETTING Village 9 is located at the southerly edge of the Otay Valley Parcel of Otay Ranch. Village 9 is located just east of State Route 125(SR-125) near the intersection of Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway. Village 9 is surrounded by the future Eastern Urban Center(EUC)to the north, the planned University/RTP to the east, and the MSCP Open Space Preserve to the south. Village 9 currently consists of vacant, undeveloped land. Exhibit 1.1 -Vicinity Map illustrates the regional location of the SPA and its location within the Otay Valley Parcel of Otay Ranch. 1-2 Draft Introduction SWEETWATER r—rI- J I—rl RESERVOIR r ) I� TO SAN DIEGO r I J I i II PEK TAY LAKE I ^ L j fl I J I I rJ L� LOWER I , I OTAY P-1 LAKE \r•.f -"— PKOJE IC ITY I.

While each SPA plan described the project in general land use terms and established a series of community roadway classifications, the Planned Community (PC) District Regulations determined the development standards for the project in a traditional zoning code format. This Euclidian method of land use planning, which focuses solely on the segregation of incompatible land uses, does little to control the physical form and character of a place. Therefore, a Design Plan was also required to establish community character through architecture and landscape requirements. The resulting documents often included numerous redundancies, took more time to review, were often cumbersome to use, and did not allow design flexibility. The Village 9 SPA Plan provides a different approach by implementing form-based regulations and standards. The intent is to provide the same information in a single, concise, user-friendly document. The Congress of New Urbanism (CNU) created Form-based Codes (FBC)to address the shortcomings of traditional Euclidean zoning and create a more place-based planning tool. Form-based codes take the emphasis off of use and focus on the physical relationships between buildings, streets, and public spaces. Form-based codes approach the development of land by regulating the form, character, and street presence of buildings to focus attention on the public presentation of buildings, creating a public realm that is comfortable for pedestrians. The relationship of these elements plays a greater role in creating a place and establishing its identity than the uses that occur within. Uses are still controlled but they play a secondary role to the creation of walkable, pedestrian friendly communities and streetscapes. Moreover, this approach eliminates the need for separate PC District Regulations and a Design Plan by providing a more integrated approach to defining neighborhoods in terms of form and character. 1.4.2 How to Use this Document To proceed through this document, first reference Exhibit 2.1 - Site Utilization Plan, to identify the organization and intensity of development proposed for each parcel within the SPA. The site utilization will determine if the parcel is intended for parks, open space, schools, community purpose facilities (CPF), residential uses, commercial uses, or mixed-use. Table 2.1 - Site Utilization Summary identifies the targeted number of units and density for each parcel. Once the site's utilization has been determined, identify the transect and zone by referencing Exhibit 3.2 - Regulating Plan, which identifies the appropriate form of each use. The transect and zone will determine required permits, building setbacks and placement, parking requirements, and other development standards. The transect will also identify appropriate building configuration(s). After selecting a suitable building configuration, the building configuration standards should be used to identify appropriate access, plotting, frontages, and more.

Chapter 2 f A t r Develo P44 I d r 1 '.1 3 X44 ~ I-'_ irk . r t i w CAM 4R INA! 2.1 DESIGN INFLUENCE The City of Chula Vista General Plan, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP), and the Overall Otay Ranch Design Plan describe the basic design concept for the Otay Ranch villages. The site plan for Village 9 is based upon those guiding documents, the unique characteristics of the site, and surrounding existing and proposed development in adjacent SPAs. The University/Regional Technology Park(RTP)proposed in GDP Planning Area 10 and the Eastern Urban Center (EUC) planned north of the site greatly influenced the design of Village 9. The anticipated activity within the University/RTP resulted in the design of a university oriented Town Center with a street pattern, variety of retail uses and services, and housing choices tailored to support students, faculty, and staff in a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. The Urban Center, located between this Town Center and anticipated high-rise development of the EUC, has been designed to provide a compatible transition between these two areas and includes uses that support the RTP. Village 9's land use and circulation pattern are designed to reflect new urbanist and traditional town planning principles including the pedestrian and transit-oriented university village concept described in the Otay Ranch GDP. These principles provide the primary framework for Village 9. This village concept intensifies residential densities and commercial uses at the heart of the community to enhance transit use, promote walkability, and create vibrant commercial and public spaces that promote social interaction and a strong community identity. This is achieved through the use of transect, form-based planning and an urban circulation network that establishes the appropriate intensity,scale,and form along public streetscapes and creates intimate, pedestrian friendly streets and corridors. The urban circulation network consists of a grid pattern of complete streets within the Urban Center, Town Center, Urban Neighborhood, and Neighborhood Core Zones.As described in Chapter 5,Circulation&Corridor Design, complete streets accommodate motorists as well as bicycles, pedestrians, and transit users of all ages and abilities in a safe, attractive, and comfortable setting. The grid pattern results in a greater number of intersections and connections, providing shorter and more direct routes for all modes of transportation. December 2013 2-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA An urban couplet, which consist of a pair or "couple" of one-way roadways separated by a block, allows northbound and southbound arterial vehicle traffic to travel through the Town Center while still maintaining the same width and pedestrian scale as other streets within the grid. The couplet promotes activity in the Town Center by directing vehicle traffic through rather than around the Town Center, thereby increasing the visibility, exposure, and long-term viability of the businesses within. The urban couplet organizes traffic to allow for shorter pedestrian crossing, safer turning movements, more efficient through lanes, and a better mix of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Other influences reflect on-site conditions and characteristics such as landforms,viewsheds, sustainability, and architectural integrity of completed Otay Ranch villages and surrounding uses. Transect, form-based planning allows for smooth transitions to the natural areas adjacent to the site. This transition supports a development pattern that respects the natural topography,views,and physical connection to the Otay River Valley,promoting the enjoyment and preservation of these natural resources. A focus on form allows greater flexibility in the expression of architectural style while still achieving quality architecture and streetscapes. 2.2 PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES The guiding philosophy and key planning principles for Village 9 include the following: 1. Create a recognizable "place" that is well designed to provide 500,000 to 1.5 million square feet of office and retail space in three unique and attractive urban districts accommodating cultural and social diversity. 2. Develop distinctive design standards and invest in design excellence to create inspiring and memorable places; emphasize the appearance and qualities of the public realm; create streetscapes, pathways, and public spaces of beauty, interest, and functional benefit to pedestrians. 3. Encourage a development pattern that promotes orderly growth, prevents urban sprawl, and promotes effective resource management, while implementing the GDP goals of a strong relationship between Village 9, the EUC, and the planned university. 4. Protect and enhance the natural environment and increase the quality of life. Design neighborhoods with compact and multi-dimensional land use patterns that ensure a mix of uses and joint optimization of transportation modes to minimize the impact of cars, promote walking and bicycling, and provide access to employment, education, recreation, entertainment, shopping, and services. 5. Create an appropriately scaled and economically healthy Town Center. Include a wide range of commercial, residential, cultural, civic, and recreational uses. The Town Center should contain businesses that serve the daily needs of nearby residents and employees including students, faculty, and Regional Technology Park employees. 6. Establish a pedestrian and transit-oriented village with an intense, vibrant Town Center to reduce reliance on the automobile and promote walking and the use of bicycles, buses, and regional transit. 7. Encourage community development in mixed use and compact pedestrian oriented forms to accommodate all income levels and lifestyles. 2-2 Draft Development Concept 8. Foster a compact form facilitated by "form-based planning," resulting in efficient infrastructure investments and advanced opportunities to provide socially diverse housing. 9. Promote jobs that match the skills of existing and future residents through provision of housing opportunities and choices and by providing an opportunity for the City to attract a university or related uses by dedication of land for such purposes. Retain and recruit a skilled and motivated workforce to ensure economic stability into the future and support university development by providing attainable housing opportunities at increased densities. 10. Encourage diverse, informal centers of creativity, learning, and interaction that support the University. Focus community design on a manner of life and civic culture that embraces and fosters life-long learning. This shall take place in traditional educational institutions as well as diverse venues such as restaurants, arts, and cultural locations. This includes public and private places of exceptional design and open spaces that inspire and connect with the natural environment through features that spark creativity. Identify and promote business clusters that complement the University and the Regional Technology Park. 11. Promote synergistic uses and graceful transitions within the SPA and between the SPA and neighborhoods of adjacent SPAS to balance activities, services, and facilities. Integrate Village 9 with existing Otay Ranch development, the University, the RTP, and connectivity to the Greenbelt. 12. Implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the Chula Vista General Plan and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, the Chula Vista Greenbelt Master Plan, and the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan. 13. Encourage the interactivity of a wide range of people, promote community diversity, and enrich the human experience by providing a broad variety of public spaces and housing types and styles that appeal to all ages, incomes, and lifestyles. 14. Establish a plan that is fiscally responsible and viable with consideration of existing and anticipated economic conditions. 2.3 SITE UTILIZATION Exhibit 2.1 -Site Utilization Plan and Table 2.1 -Site Utilization Summary implement the land uses contemplated by the Otay Ranch GDP for this area.The Site Utilization Plan and Summary work together and assign a general utilization to each transect within the SPA. Uses include two elementary school sites, a variety of parks, various open space areas, attached and detached residential units, and mixed-use areas. In addition to defining each transect's utilization, individual planning areas are also assigned a targeted number of dwelling units and a range of commercial square feet. These targets and ranges, as shown in Table 2.1 - Site Utilization Summary are only estimates. Units and commercial square footage may be transferred between planning areas pursuant to Section 9.3.2.6. of this SPA Plan.

These mixed uses promote a 24-hour living environment with proximity to transit and creation of employment opportunities in close proximity to multi-family housing and transit. A key aspect of the Village 9 plan is synergy and adaptability with a future University and RTP in the remaining portions of Village 9 and in GDP Planning Area 10 to the east, relative to pedestrian, transit, and automobile circulation, and urban design. The heart of the plan is the Town Center. It is envisioned that this area provide for the needs of the community by featuring a blend of shopping, restaurant, civic, institutional, educational, recreational, entertainment, personal service, and residential opportunities. The Town Center will provide a viable and intensified mixture of uses that will draw university students and faculty, residents, business owners, RTP employees, and visitors. The overall plan is organized such that development intensity decreases from the EUC and Main Street, south toward the Town Center, and finally south toward Otay Valley Road and the Otay River Valley. The Exhibit 2.1: Site Utilization Plan includes community commercial uses and multi-family opportunities for affordable and new generational housing in the intensified Town Center, the opportunity for additional affordable housing and neighborhood commercial uses south and west of the Town Center, and attached and detached single family housing south of Otay Valley Road. This broad spectrum of housing and commercial opportunities is intended to meet the anticipated demands of students, faculty, and professionals associated with the adjacent University and RTP as well as the general population. 2.3.2 Relationship to Surrounding Uses Village 9 is surrounded by open space, existing development, and planned development as shown in Exhibit 2.2 - Surrounding Uses. The relationship to these uses was carefully considered during the planning process. This section describes how this SPA Plan addresses the existing and planned uses that occur adjacent to Village 9. A. The Eastern Urban Center (EUC) The Eastern Urban Center, located North of Village 9, is designated by the GDP as an urban center serving regional commercial, financial, residential, professional, entertainment, and cultural needs. This urban center will consist of a variety of iconic buildings including high-rise development and entertainment uses in an urban, pedestrian oriented setting. B. Village 8 East and SR-125 West of Village 9, State Route 125 (SR-125) separates the SPA from Village 8 East. SR-125 is a toll-road and will provide access to Village 9 via a Main Street interchange and Otay Valley Road. 2-6 Draft Development Concept ES PA 12 '.

A village core is surrounded by Medium-High (MH) and Medium (M) density residential which is surrounded by Low-Medium Village (LMV) density residential. Pedestrian, vehicle, and bicycle connections between Village 9 and Village 8 East will be provided across SR-125 at Main Streets and Otay Valley Road. In addition, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge will be provided across SR-125 between the neighborhood park and Village 8 East. C. MSCP/OVRP South of Village 9, open space extends along the entire edge of the SPA. This open space is part of the City of Chula Vista and County of San Diego's Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Plan, The City of Chula Vista's Otay River Valley Regional Park (OVRP) Conceptual Plan, and the Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP). The SPA Plan for Village 9 respects the adjacencies to sensitive open space areas within the MSCP Preserve by designating the adjacent development areas for the lowest density residential development proposed by the plan. In addition, a buffer of parks and open space areas, the Preserve Edge, provides a buffer between this development and the MSCP area. Lighting, landscaping, and irrigation in the Preserve Edge, perimeter slopes and adjacent residential uses are controlled by the SPA and the accompanying Preserve Edge Plan (Appendix D)to limit disruption to the naturally occurring plant and animal species that occur within the MSCP area. Fire protection measures are also considered within the SPA and the accompanying Fire Protection Plan (Appendix F)to address this wildland-urban interface.The SPA Plan for Village 9 also respects adjacencies to the OVRP by providing a potential future greenbelt trail connection to the Regional Park. Refer to section 5.6.16. D. University/RTP The University/Regional Technology Park (RTP), planned for the area immediately east of Village 9, will be developed in accordance with the Strategic Framework Policies for the University Village Study Area (GDP Planning Area 10). The Town Center and residential development proposed in Village 9 is intended to support the University/RTP by providing commercial uses, residential units, and retail services that support students, faculty,and University/RTP staff.The Village 9 land plan and circulation plan have been intentionally designed to create a strong urban interface between the proposed Town Center and the University/RTP and create multiple opportunities for vehicular and pedestrian connections between these uses. Campus Boulevard provides a direct link between the proposed neighborhood park and the University/RTP via a flexible street space that can be converted to a pedestrian only area for special events such as festivals, fairs, and other neighborhood events. The Regional Technology Park(RTP)will be located adjacent to the University campus.The RTP is envisioned to be a large, master-planned business park or parks that provide for high quality science, advanced technology, and manufacturing type development. The RTP will allow research and development (R&D) uses with some limited light industrial uses. The RTP will accommodate new research institution, industries, and businesses able to stimulate and/or capitalize upon the research activities of the nearby University. 2-8 Draft y _. r _ ...

Unlike traditional PC District Regulations, this code has been designed as a form-based code to better address the physical form of the various zones and transects that occur within the SPA. The new code incorporates all the necessary regulations required by traditional PC District Regulations in a new format. 3.1.1 Applicability Every attempt has been made to generate coherent and consistent standards and guidelines for the development of Village 9. When the provisions of this code remain silent on a particular issue, the City of Chula Vista's Zoning Code or previously adopted ordinances shall prevail. The provisions of this development code are not intended to abrogate any existing easements, covenants, or other agreements. 3.1.2 Organization All development, redevelopment, subdivisions, and new land uses within Village 9 shall comply with all applicable requirements of this chapter, as follows: A. Regulating Plan The Regulating Plan assigns development regulations to the various properties identified by Exhibit 2.1- Site Utilization Plan by establishing 6 Transects and 11 Zones. December 2013 3-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA B. Zone Standards Zone Standards regulate key aspects of private buildings that affect the public realm. Zone Standards are determined on a zone-by-zone basis, regulating permitted building configurations, lot configurations, use, building setbacks and building separations within the Zone. General regulations applying to all parcels within Village 9 are followed by zone-specific standards. C. Building Configuration Standards Building Configuration Standards apply to all applicable zones, regulating the permitted uses, frontage type, plotting, primary pedestrian access, vehicle access, parking, and open space requirements. D. Frontage Type Standards Frontage Type Standards determine the relationship between the private frontage of buildings and the public streetscape to create a cohesive and expressive neighborhood experience. E. Performance Standards Performance Standards apply to all planning areas within Village 9 regardless of transect or zone. Performance Standards regulate the on-going operation of uses within the SPA to ensure noise, odor, and other issues resulting from the on-going operation of each use do not negatively impact neighborhoods and the community. F. Sign Regulations Sign Regulations apply to all planning areas within Village 9 regardless of transect or zone. Sign Regulations provide standards for appropriate size and design of signage within the SPA. 3.1.3 Transects and Zones In form-based planning, the built environment is organized as a range of geographic and development I/transects" or cross sections. A key objective of transect-based planning is the creation of integrated environments that are internally coherent with seamless transitions. Successful, integrated environments are based on the selection and arrangement of all the components that contribute to a particular type of environment. Each transect is composed of elements that support and intensify its local character: zone, building configuration, lot configuration, land use, frontage type, street, and other physical elements of the human environment. Through the transect, planners are able to specify different urban contexts that have the function and intensity appropriate for their location. 3-2 Draft Development Code AL I DD_ �. 000 �. �° - o o 4 % T-1:Natural T-2:Suburban T-3:General Urban T-4:Town Center T-5:Urban Center •Open Space •Neighborhood •Neighborhood •Town Center Zone(TC) •Urban Center(UC) Preserve(OP) Edge Zone(NE) Core(NC) •Urban Neighborhood •Open Space(OS) •Neighborhood Zone(UN) General Zone(NG) Exhibit 3.1 -Transects Source: Duany Plater-Zyberk&Company The transects within Village 9 capitalize on established transects utilized by Smart Code development. The following locally adapted transects provide organization for development that focuses activity within the EUC and Town Center, transitioning into residential opportunities, the University/RTP, and rural open space at the edges. Transects are further divided into zones, allowing for greater diversity and smoother transition between transects. Development is organized into 6 transects and 11 zones, as listed below: • T-1: Natural (encompassing OP and PE Zones). • T-2: Suburban (encompassing NE and NG Zones). • T-3: General Urban (encompassing NC Zone). • T-4:Town Center(encompassing TC and UN Zones). • T-5: Urban Center(encompassing UC Zone). • SD: Special District(encompassing P, CPF, and U Zones). The SPA covers diverse topography and development intensities. Viewed as a north-south cross section, the site ranges from the open space of the Otay River Valley on the south to the future high-rise mixed-use areas of the EUC on the north. The University/RTP are located to the east. The transects are based on this development range as shown in Exhibit 3.1 -Transects. The highest development intensities are located in the EUC (T-5)Transect, gradually transitioning into lower levels of development intensity near the river corridor. The Special District(SD)Transect, which is not illustrated in Exhibit 3.1 -Transects, includes designated parks and community purpose facilities that occur throughout the community and the University/RTP. December 2013 3-3 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA A. Transect 1 (T-1): Open Space Preserve (OP) and Open Space (OS) T-1 is comprised of areas reserved for limited recreation, passive open spaces, and habitat preserve, providing a transition from natural areas to the built environment. T-1 is characterized by rolling hills adjacent to the Otay River bed. T-1 demonstrates a respect for natural topography and integration of perimeter )(� , D manufactured slopes. This transect is highlighted by low-intensity recreation, hiking trails, and staging areas. The Open Space Preserve(OP)Zone also includes portions of the Multiple Species 0 i Conservation Plan (MSCP)subarea. These uses are considered D T-1 due to their minimal development. T-1 is defined by the Open 0Space Preserve(OP) Zone and Open Space(OS) Zone. �D B. Transect 2 (T-2): Neighborhood Edge (NE) and Neighborhood General (NG) T-2 consists of primarily of Low-Medium Density(3-6 du/ac) and Medium Density(6-11 du/ac) Residential Land Uses as a transition from open space to greater concentrations of development. Residential opportunities are planned in a traditional manner with a focus on coherent neighborhoods of distinct character. The 0 Neighborhood Edge(NE) Zone is characterized by 1 and 2 story — detached single-family homes in southern portions of the transect while the Neighborhood General (NG) Zone is characterized by 2-story attached and detached cluster homes in northern portions of the transect. There is a focus on private front yards and a distinct separation of private lots from the public street. Planting Ira is naturalistic with setbacks relatively deep and blocks typically larger. This transect is defined by the Neighborhood Edge (NE) Zone and the Neighborhood General (NG)Zone. 3-4 Draft Development Code C. Transect 3 (T-3): Neighborhood Core (NC) T-3 consists predominantly of attached, small-lot detached, and mixed-use residential housing with occasional neighborhood serving commercial uses and an elementary ALM�) school site. This new zone establishes a density of 10-22 du/ ac. A grid pattern of streets and pedestrian corridors defines relatively small blocks to promote walking and circulation efficiency. T-3 is characterized by a horizontal mix of uses consisting of small neighborhood retail and services in limited ground level locations. There is a focus on common open space and strong pedestrian linkages along public sidewalks and internal development pathways. This transect is defined by the Neighborhood Core(NC)Zone. D. Transect 4 (T-4):Town Center (TC) and Urban Neighborhood (UN) T-4 consists of mixed-use development including community retail, office, attached and small-lot detached residential homes, and an elementary school site in an urban setting. A grid pattern of streets and pedestrian corridors defines relatively small blocks to promote walking and circulation efficiency. T-4 is characterized by a horizontal and vertical mix of uses, with retail, residential, and office on the ground level and attached residential and office above. Building configurations are limited to those that provide limited or no setbacks, strong pedestrian-scaled frontages, and opportunities to de-emphasize parking. This transect intends to create an active and vibrant Town Center to support the daily needs of the University/RTP. This transect is defined by the Town Center(TC)Zone and the Urban Neighborhood (UN) Zone. December 2013 3-5 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA E. Transect 5 (T-5): Urban Center (UC) T-5 consists of shopping, offices, hospitality uses (hotels, etc.), commercial recreation, and attached residential.T-5 is characterized by high-intensity, vertical, urban development. Building types shall be massed to serve as a transition between the town center and the high-rise development planned north of the site. Building types are limited to those that provide limited or no setbacks, strong frontages, opportunities to de-emphasize parking, and pedestrian scaled courtyards and plazas to provide relief from the urban fabric. This transect is defined by the Urban Center(UC)Zone. F. Special District (SD): Parks (P), Community Purpose Facility (CPF), and University (U) SD includes designated lands for the development of parks, community purpose facilities, and a University. Parks are located to provide recreational opportunities for residents within walking distance of their home and to provide relief from the urban fabric. This transect is defined by the Parks (P)Zone, the Community Purpose Facility(CPF) Zone, and the University(U) Zone. 3.2 REGULATING PLAN Exhibit 3.2 - Regulating Plan, establishes zones applied to each property within Village 9. Zones dictate building configurations, building placement and design, and land uses within each transect's zone. The Regulating Plan is a synthesis of development opportunities that respond to the topography and constraints of the site, adjacent uses, landowner development program, and the evolving development needs of the City. Zones have been identified to incorporate a range of residential, recreation, education, social, hospitality, and retail opportunities into an integrated, pedestrian-oriented community. 3-6 Draft Development Code Future Eastern Urban Center u r 6-2 ruCl H-2 ► �\ 1-1-1 WC) r r 1 \ (P) (L)N} K_r rt-2 Un,vers.ty!

This section starts with general regulations that apply to all zones and then provides specific standards for each zone. This section regulates the configuration of lots and placement of buildings not withstanding the requirements of Appendix F- Fire Protection Plan. 3.3.1 General Regulations Applying to all Zones The following regulations apply to all zones within Village 9. A. Accessory Buildings and Structures Accessory uses and accessory buildings customarily appurtenant to a permitted use are allowed subject to the requirements of Section 19.58.020 CVMC, Uses: Accessory Structures. For purposes of this document, attached and detached garages shall be considered an accessory structure. Attached and detached accessory buildings and structures, except accessory second units (ASUs), shall meet all of the requirements for location of the main structure as constructed or required by the zone, whichever is less restrictive, except as herein provided: 1. All attached and detached accessory buildings and structures(enclosed or unenclosed)shall be subject to building permit review. Such accessory buildings shall not be allowed to encroach into required setbacks, except as otherwise permitted herein. 2. Detached accessory buildings may be located within an interior side yard or rear yard, provided that such a structure is located no closer than 5 feet to an interior side or rear lot line, is at least 6 feet from the main structure, does not exceed 1 story in height(15 feet measured from finished pad grade to tallest roof ridge), does not exceed 30% of the required yard area, does not exceed the minimum lot coverage required by the zone, and does not encroach into any fuel modification zones. 3. Open structures may be allowed to encroach into the rear yard setback subject to the approval of the Development Services Director. The design and type of open structure shall be approved by the Development Services Director. 4. Architectural features of accessory buildings and structures, which constitute non-useable floor space such as interior fireplaces, eaves, awnings, chimneys, wing walls, etc. shall be subject to the same encroachment requirements as the primary building. 3-8 Draft Development Code All Zones B.Accessory Second Units (ASU) Accessory second units (ASUs), commonly referred to as "in-law units" or "granny flats," provide excellent opportunities for affordable housing. ASUs are regulated in part by state law and may be subject to change as state law is amended from time to time. ASUs shall be subject to Chula Vista Municipal Code(CVMC)Section 19.58.0522, Accessory dwelling unit. C. Zero Setbacks and Reciprocal Use Easements (RUES) As an alternative to traditional plotting configurations, utilization of "zero setbacks" or reciprocal use easements (RUE) are permitted on all detached building configurations where identified in the applicable zone standards. Buildings may be plotted as follows: 1. Zero Lot: One building is plotted directly on a lot line with zero setback(zero lot line), to allow the neighboring lot a larger private side yard space. A reciprocal use easement(RUE) is granted for drainage and allows the property owner limited access to maintain building walls, foundations, and drainage facilities when required. (See Exhibit 3.3 - Zero Lot Line.) 2. RUE Lot: Buildings are plotted with conventional setbacks but fencing is constructed and an RUE is granted to allow the benefitting property owner utilization of the adjacent lot's side yard as private yard space. This configuration may be more desirable than a zero lot configuration for fire rating of walls in construction.

Paired Lots: Buildings are designed and plotted to fit together along a common property line while maintaining the required setback. Paired lots are typically plotted with "Z" lot lines and an RUE is granted for both lots. Paired lots may also use a zero lot configuration. (See Exhibit 3.5 - Paired Lots.) Where "Z" lot lines or RUES are utilized, interior setbacks shall be reduced to accommodate the configuration; however, the aggregate side setbacks (sum of required interior/side street setbacks)and minimum building separations shall remain consistent with the zone standards. These lot configurations shall meet the California Building Code and the requirements of this document. The minimum street side setback shall apply for all lots with secondary street frontage. Where building configurations utilize "zero setbacks" within a zone, the building separation identified for the zone shall take precedence over the side setback requirement identified. However, the minimum street side setback shall still apply for lots with street side frontage.

Combined with the public streetscape and street types, the frontage has a strong impact on the public realm, determining the interaction of the building with the streetscape. Different frontages are appropriate for different zones and building configurations. Frontages shall be utilized within the appropriate Zone and reflect the lifestyle of the building configuration. Exhibit 3.7 - Frontage Type Matrix, illustrates the range of frontage types permitted by the various building configurations. A more detailed description of each follows. Outdoor Living Spaces In many historical styles, front porches and covered terraces were considered outdoor "rooms" and evolved to be the key elements of the architectural composition. Outdoor living spaces are private outdoor spaces for resident use. These spaces provide outdoor living that is not overlooked by neighbors or visitors. The space flows from indoor to outdoor, providing little differentiation between living areas. Private open spaces are defined by their level of privacy. To capture the climate-based lifestyle of Chula Vista and encourage integrity of style, all front porches, courtyards, stoops, and covered terraces shall achieve a minimum size and grade relationship to the street. 1. Spaces shall be sized to accommodate usable space 2. Porches shall have a minimum dimension of 6 feet 3. Massing, placement, orientation, minimum required square footage and dimensions of outdoor living space are defined by Building Configuration under "Open Space" 4.

All signage shall require a sign permit, issued by the City of Chula Vista Planning Division. December 2013 3-93 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 3.7.1. General Signage Requirements High quality, imaginative, and innovative sign design is encouraged. Each sign shall be proportional in size and scale to its location and designed to integrate with the surrounding site architecture through the selection of location, materials, style, color, details, and elements. Signs shall be subordinate to the overall building composition. Sign copy or content shall be brief, utilizing 'BUY logos and symbols where possible. Coordinated sign programs are required for multiple tenant sites. Signs shall be constructed of permanent exterior sign materials (except for awnings). Signs shall be non-moving, stationary structures in all components. 3.7.2. Major and Minor Identification The purpose of identification signs is to identify places such as neighborhoods and districts as well as specific tenants. There are typically three (3) different types of signs utilized for identification: Example of Pylon Sign A. Freestanding Signs Freestanding signs are typically used to identify an entire community, neighborhood, or site. Freestanding signs may be pylon or monument style. The sign structure shall be designed to incorporate similar architectural details, materials, and colors as the associated buildings or community. The following apply to all Freestanding Signs: 1. Pylon signs are vertically oriented signs where the width of the sign panels shall not extend beyond the width of the architectural support elements. Single support(pole)signs are not allowed. 2. Monument signs are low profile signs where the sign width is mounted on the ground as a solid architectural element. Monument signs shall be designed with the width of the base of the sign equal to or more than the width of the sign face. They shall be located within a landscape area whenever possible and the signs shall be in proportion to the size of the area where they are located. When used for major tenant identification in commercial areas, a single freestanding sign may display up to 6 individual tenant signs or 5 tenant signs and the name of the site along each street frontage. Individual tenant signs shall be uniform in size, with the exception made for a slightly larger site name or major tenant sign panel. The sign copy is the only part that is allowed to be illuminated. r Example of Monument Sign 3-94 Draft Development Code Sign Regulations B. Gateway Signs Gateway signs are signs that span pedestrian or vehicle travel ways to announce entry into a special areas such as commercial districts, paseos, linear t green courts, and shopping center entries. - A minimum vertical clearance of 14 feet over vehicle travel ways and 10 feet over pedestrian travel ways is required. Gateway signs shall require an encroachment permit. Example of Gateway sign C. Wall and Projecting Signs Typically, projecting signs, awnings, and wall and window graphics are used to identify individual tenants. They are especially effective in areas of high pedestrian traffic. 1. Wall signs shall consist of individual letters attached to a building without visible supports or raceways. They shall be securely attached to the building while not obscuring the building ornamental features. 2. Projecting or blade signs shall be placed Example of wall sign perpendicular to the first floor building wall with a minimum vertical clearance of eight feet. In an arcade situation, the sign shall be hung from the ceiling. t One blade sign will be allowed per business along each street frontage. Illumination shall be limited to external (spot lights)or decorative(gooseneck, etc.) ,�r■ types. Projecting signs shall be securely attached-to the building fascia or canopy with an attractive and decorative support. 3. Window signs are permanent signs placed directly Example of Projecting sign on or behind the glass. Signage shall not cover more than 25% of the window area of each street frontage, excluding glass doors, or one square foot per one foot of frontage, whichever is less. One window sign is permitted per framed first floor window area of each street frontage. Illumination shall be limited to external (spot lights)or decorative (gooseneck, etc.)types.

A Shared Parking Study shall be processed through an Administrative Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan and an Architectural approval, as required pursuant to Chapter 9, Implementation and Administration, for future non-residential development within the T-3, TA and T-5 Transects. At that time, the exact number of parking spaces will be determined by the specific mix of uses and the parking ratios submitted as part of the Shared Parking Study. Shared parking may include non-residential uses located between adjacent properties, districts and/or zones. 3.8.1 Shared Parking Study Process The Shared Parking Study will determine the minimum number of required parking spaces. This process shall be as follows: 1. Determine the square footage of each use, the number of employees, and/or other quantifiable factors. 2. Select the unadjusted parking demand for each use. The unadjusted parking demand is the base parking demand if each site was developed independently from each other. The demands shall be segmented by use and into 2 categories, weekday and weekend. 3. The scenario of weekday or weekend that requires the highest parking demand shall be used in determining the minimum number of required parking spaces that may be satisfied within the combination of surface lots, structure(s), or on-street. 3.8.2 Shared Parking Study Implementation 1. Once the Shared Parking Study has been approved, no new Shared Parking Study shall be required so long as there is no change of use that would alter the assumptions in the approved Shared Parking Study, and the developed square footage is not increased.

These guidelines are not meant to be overly restrictive but rather provide design fundamentals that shall be considered in any design and may be creatively applied in a wide range of design solutions. Each guideline shall be considered within the context of the building configuration, the chosen architectural style of the building, the style and configuration of surrounding buildings, the overall village identity and character, and the identity and character of surrounding villages. Guidelines shall not be strictly applied to all proposed buildings as long as the overall design intent is clearly achieved. All development proposals shall be reviewed in accordance with Chapter 9. 4.1.1 Community Character The Village 9 SPA Plan strives to create a new mixed-use community centered around a university oriented town center. This town center is organized to create a series of focal points that emulate a traditional "downtown" within a system of "blocks" or planning areas. Block sizes have been carefully defined to maximize walkability and promote a vibrant and active town center. Uses are envisioned to include retail, residential, and services that support student and faculty life. Such uses might include restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, and opportunities for shopping and entertainment. These interchangeable mixed-use components are centered on Campus Boulevard, located between a neighborhood park and the future proposed University/RTP to the east, and an urban couplet. A key aspect of the Village 9 plan is synergy and adaptability with the future University/RTP. This synergy is emphasized through Campus Boulevard, an east-west street and urban plaza, that serves as a transitional space for the community. The design of Campus Boulevard this space suitable for community events such as art fairs,farmer's markets, and festivals.Additional east-west grid streets run parallel to Campus Boulevard and penetrate into the planned University/RTP, creating strong pedestrian linkages. December 2013 4-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA The form-based code allows for a variety of architectural styles to avoid monotonous or repetitive designs and homogenous building typologies. This flexibility allows for a mix of styles within each block, potentially creating an interesting and eclectic design pattern while still maintaining strong urban form. Strong urban form in the Town Center, Urban Center, and Urban Neighborhood Zones requires buildings to be oriented toward all public streets, parks, and pedestrian spaces; Continuous facades that are placed near or at the back of sidewalk; and uses that support pedestrian activity such as dining, retail, entertainment, patios, plazas, and public art. Transect based planning allows for smooth transitions to surrounding uses. The T-5: Urban Center Transect serves as a transition from the T-4: Town Center Transect to the Eastern Urban Center to the north. The T-5: Urban Center Transect will include high to mid-rise buildings with a mix of uses including retail, hospitality, office, and multi-family residential opportunities that support the Regional Technology Park and the EUC. The T-3: General Urban Transect(i.e. Urban Neighborhood Zone) will be a residential extension of the T-4: Town Center Transect. While commercial uses are permitted in the T-3 Transect, the T-3 Transect is envisioned to have a predominately multi-family, residential character, with the retail focus remaining in the T-4: Town Center Transect. The T-3 Transect provides a transition to the T-2: Suburban Transect (i.e. Neighborhood Edge and Neighborhood General Zones), which is envisioned to have a predominately single family, residential character south of Otay Valley Road. Residential neighborhoods south of Otay Valley Road provide an alternative living environment that is more single family in nature with larger, private yards and building setbacks. This environment provides a quiet, less urban lifestyle while establishing an appropriate relationship to the natural habitat in the adjacent T-1: Natural Transect, i.e. the Preserve. A variety of architectural styles are also envisioned to create eclectic, pedestrian friendly streetscapes. 4-2 Draft Community Design 4.1.2 Guiding Principles for Village Design The following guiding principles reinforce Village 9's character and identity, create a strongly identifiable urban town center, and unify the community as a whole, while highlighting the hierarchy of development intensity through community design: 1. Establish the Town Center as a vibrant University/RTP district. 2. Define entries and corridors to identify the village and orient people to and within the community. 3. Use landscaping and common community elements to establish a unified village character. 4. Reinforce the gradual transition from natural open space areas to the Eastern Urban Center through gradual variation in development and design intensity. 5. Create highly desirable neighborhoods that are an asset to Otay Ranch and the City of Chula Vista. 6. Provide a significant amount of housing choices that are livable, sustainable, affordable, and attractive to existing and future Chula Vista residents. 7. Reflect the history, values, lifestyle, and character of the City of Chula Vista and San Diego County. 8. Adopt planning and design standards that provide flexibility while ensuring quality and superior design. 9. Provide architecture that recognizes, complements, and enhances the overall fabric of the existing Otay Ranch Community. 10. Establish a design character for each neighborhood that expresses continuity, individuality,and compatibility. 11. Strive to remain true to the authentic architectural style through massing, colors, materials, detailing, and roof forms within cost and market realities. 12. Create simple building designs that result in efficient use of space, materials, and resources while maintaining a high level of design integrity and authentic architectural style. 13. Create synergy with the University/RTP through appropriate uses, pedestrian connections, and multi- generational housing choices. December 2013 4-3 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.2 VILLAGE IDENTITY CONCEPT A unified village identity will be established through the use of landscaping and various community elements. The location and design of these elements will provide the following: 1. Village identification through the use of enhanced entry landscaping or monuments. 2. Orientation within the community through corridor design and landform character. 3. A common design character expressed through the use of community elements with similar style such as lighting,walls,fences, and street furniture. 4.2.1 Entries A large part of the village design theme will be established through the landscape design of the major entry points. Primary entries will identify the core village areas while the secondary entries will be used to identify the village boundaries in residential areas. Entry monumentation will be provided by the master builder. The approximate location of these entries is depicted in Exhibit 4.1 - Entryway and Identity Plan. A conceptual design for these monuments is provided as Exhibit 4.2 - Conceptual Entry Monument Design. The final design for entry monuments shall be determined by the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan. 4.2.2 Corridors Corridors will also play a key role in establishing the village design theme. Corridors will be defined through the landscape palette and design themes identified by the roadway standards in Chapter 5, Circulation & Corridor Design,through the placement and types of buildings as regulated by Chapter 3, Development Code, and through the landscape and architectural design of individual parcels as described in this chapter. Each roadway corridor will have an identifiable landscape theme consistent with its location within the transect. Corridors will be further enhanced and unified by lighting, walls, fencing, and street furniture that share a unified theme throughout the village. Architectural and landscape design of individual parcels will add diversity and interest while maintaining consistent, high quality design appropriate to the transect. These elements will work together to create superior street scenes that encourage pedestrian activity and a strong village identity. 4.2.3 Landform From a design perspective, landform provides orientation and character to the various areas throughout the community. In the Urban Center and Town Center Zones, grading consists of stepped pads to allow for high intensity mixed-use development. As one moves away from the town center towards the edges of the village and the MSCP Preserve, landform becomes more organic and natural. This hierarchy of grading, as described in Chapter 6, Grading, supports the transect by allowing a gradual and appropriate transition from natural areas of the village, to the more intense town center and EUC. Planting shall be used to break up views of stele manufactured slopes. Large trees and shrubs shall be clustered to partially screen or break up large slope areas. 4-4 Draft Community Design Future Eastern Urban Center 4 5-1 WO A n fUC} (UCJ a. Ny E-1 fvc D 1.

They are an important streetscape element and unify the various architectural styles and densities throughout the village. As seen on Exhibit 4.7 -Wall and Fence Plan, there will be several types of fencing. Fencing for individual planning areas is not specified by Exhibit 4.7 because the placement of such fences will be a design detail for each individual planning area's site plan. 4-6 Draft Community Design Each type of fence serves a particular purpose, including rUsuLA,e srEEt OR security, identity, enclosure, privacy, etc. TEMPERED GLA55 1.

Residential areas adjacent to open space are encouraged to use view fencing or partial view fencing along the open space boundary. Long, continuous runs of fencing may be broken up with pilasters,jogs in the fence line, varying heights and materials, and/or landscaping. Preferred height for side and rear yard fencing is 5.5 feet. The addition of a conventional fence on top of a retaining wall can result in a combined wall height that is not desirable and is generally discouraged. Fencing and walls should be setback a minimum of 3 feet from the back of sidewalk to provide area for construction and maintenance of footings and allow for landscaping. All publicly visible walls and fences within the SPA shall be of similar design, material, and color as determined by the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan. 4-8 Draft Community Design - Future FaStern Urban Center I�i C T..sx.

Exhibit 4.8 - Wall and Fence Plan December 2013 4-9 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.2.5 Community Lighting A variety of lighting treatments provide adequate nighttime lighting of public spaces including streets buildings, parking areas, and landscape accent lighting. Lighting plans shall be provided as part of each Design Review application. Four basic principals shall be considered: 1. Promote public safety 2. Reduce or eliminate light pollution 3. Minimize energy use 4. Provide appropriate fixture style and scale for the different uses and the village character Lighting should be used to provide illumination for security and safety of on-site areas such as entries, parking, loading,shipping and receiving, pathways and working areas. Lighting can also be used to deter graffiti(CVMC 9.20.055). All street lighting shall meet or exceed the City of Chula Vista standards or an approved theme lighting program and shall be approved by the City Engineer. Building illumination should be directed and concealed from view. Indirect wall lighting,wall "washing" from concealed fixtures, and landscape lighting is encouraged, provided it is subtle and not overly bright. All exterior lighting shall be selective and shielded to confine light within the site and prevent glare onto adjacent properties or street(CVMC 19.66.100). Energy efficient fixtures and bulbs are encouraged. Lighting for community facilities and recreation areas will be considered during Site Plan Review. Any such lighting that will illuminate a residential area past the hour of 10:00 p.m. shall be clearly identified on the site plan. Lighting in mixed use areas will be considered as part of the applicable Master Precise Plan. Beyond these functional considerations, the design of light fixtures and their structural support should be architecturally compatible with main structures and shall support and enhance the village character. The size and scale of fixtures shall depend on the intended use. For instance, major arterial streets such as Main Street, will be lit with the City standard street lights on tall concrete poles, while pedestrian areas such as plazas and pathways will be lit with luminaires chosen for their human scale and aesthetics. 4.2.6 Street Furniture Street furniture includes all of the various objects generally found adjacent to the street such as mail boxes, benches, trash receptacles, bus shelters, bike racks, and similar elements. Several methods shall be used to reduce visual clutter, eliminate location conflicts, and enhance the community theme: 1. Select furniture from a community list established by the master developer and approved by the City Engineer to ensure a consistent style and theme 2. Utilize compatible color, style, and materials for each item in the community 3. Locate furniture so as not to conflict with public utilities and pedestrian pathways 4. Consider furniture in the context of other design elements such as paving and landscaping 5. Locate furniture in locations that are safe and convenient for pedestrians, bicyclists, and nearby uses 6. The location and design of street furniture shall be shown on the Landscape Master Plan, applicable Master Precise Plan, and the Site Plan for individual parcels for design review. Locations shall be approved by the City Engineer 4-10 Draft Community Design 4.3 URBAN CENTER DESIGN GUIDELINES _ The unique urban, mixed-use character of the Urban Center requires special consideration as described in the following design guidelines. The Urban T L Center(T-5: UC Zone) consists of a combination of the following mixed-use, I w � office, hospitality, and high density residential mid-to high-rise buildings. � ,'' y�l Q 1. Stacked Units 2. Shopkeeper Q 3. Commercial Block {,Z ®all 1& 4. Innovative 5. Neighborhood Recreation Facility � _— 6. Community Purpose Facility Permitted uses are compatible with the EUC to the north and support the adjacent RTP. A Master Precise Plan as described in Section 9.3.7 shall be approved prior to approval of any design review application in the Urban Key Map Center. The following guidelines apply to this unique, urban district. Refer to (N.TS.) Chapter 3 - Development Code for design requirements specific to each of the above building configurations. 4.3.1 The Urban Center Concept The Urban Center concept is to provide employment, culture, entertainment, hospitality, and high density residential uses in a vertical mixed-use environment that provides a transition from the university-oriented Town Center in Transect T-4 and the Eastern Urban Center to the north. This combination of uses is designed to support the nearby regional commercial center, the Regional Technology Park, and an urban lifestyle that does not otherwise exist in Chula Vista. In order to achieve a vibrant, walkable, urban living and working environment, the Urban Center must provide for a wide range of opportunities to shop, work, and enjoy culture and entertainment within close proximity to one another. The economic and social success of commercial and S , 1 u T Public plaza surrounded by office above retail Retail fronting main pedestrian routes December 2013 4-11 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA entertainment uses requires a synergistic mix of tenants and proximity to residential units to create significant, daily pedestrian activity that will ensure long-term economic viability. In an urban environment, - buildings playthe primary role in defining pedestrian spaces including sidewalks,plazas,and courtyards. Fostering pedestrian activity along interior circulation corridors is critical to the interactive, urban nature of the Urban Center. Interior circulation corridors, including major commercial streets and pedestrian pathways are a major setting for daily living within the community.These outdoor mixed-use settings shall provide a comfortable, pedestrian atmosphere and activate the overall streetscene for aesthetic, pedestrian, and commercial 24-hour living environment interest. ' 4.3.2 Urban Center Design Fundamentals ' Characteristics contributing to successful Urban Centers include the following: 1. Mid to high-rise buildings are arranged to create blocks r interspersed with thriving streetscapes, public plazas, and open spaces. i 2. A broad range of uses, including commercial and residential, creates a 24-hour living environment. 3. Urban street scenes are defined by buildings located at the edges of sidewalks, creating a continuous building fagade along the street edge Outdoor seating areas 4. Pedestrian spaces such as public plazas, outdoor seating areas, and sidewalk cafes provide relief from the urban fabric and opportunities for seating, dining, and social atherin . g g 5. Pedestrian oriented features such as awnings, y,;If arcades, storefront windows, and architectural details r provide variety and spontaneity that activate the . . pedestrian experience. 6. Building facades and pedestrian spaces, not parking, remain the primary emphasis of the public street scene. Community events 7. Building and site design anticipates and accommodates pedestrian and vehicle circulation to reduce traffic impacts on neighboring streets and jointly optimize pedestrians and vehicles. 8. Entries for buildings and retail shops define interior uses, create individuality and uniqueness, and establish pedestrian scale. 9. Activity flows from building interiors to outdoor spaces and streets, creating a bustling and vibrant urban environment. 4-12 Draft Community Design 10. The pedestrian realm is highlighted through enhanced pavement, street furniture, landscaping, public art, and ground floor uses and architectural details that reinforce social and public interaction. 11. Building massing and roof form define a unique and identifiable skyline as seen from a distance. 4.3.3 Site Planning and Building Placement . The dynamic mixed-use character of the Urban Center will be y _ established by the mid to high-rise buildings and the physical - relationships between the office, retail, residential, hospitality, and entrainment uses contained within: - 1 `• .- 1. Locate buildings at the edges of sidewalks to create a Town square between buildings unified, pedestrian-activated, retail and business promenade,except where accommodating " pedestrian oriented spaces such as plazas, paseos, courtyards, plazas,squares,eating areas,and/or usable open spaces. - 4 2. Provide connectivity between buildings and 7 through planning areas to provide shorter distances between destinations and promote walkability. 3. Include ground floor retail space along major pedestrian corridors to create an active, high -—---- — - '- quality pedestrian realm and provide street Buildings create a continuous edge along the sidewalk exposure for businesses. 4. Orient buildings toward public streets, pedestrian pathways and/or active spaces. 5. Incorporate public pedestrian spaces and entry lobbies for different uses between buildings that are large enough to be usable but not so large that they appear empty or barren. 6. Design pedestrian and vehicular circulation routes that are intuitive, well-defined, and easily discernible for appropriate and functional maneuverability and activity levels. 7. Provide variety in type and form between buildings that fosters the vertical mixed-use nature of the Urban Center to provide a range of retail, office, commercial, entertainment, hospitality, and residential uses. 8. Provide well-planned pedestrian linkages that are as direct as possible between key sites such as the neighborhood park, schools, the CPF sites, transit stops, town squares and the University to support walkability and the economic viability of the EUC. December 2013 4-13 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.3.4 Building Form and Relief Building form and structure are an expressive element in the design as it establishes the underlying rhythm of column bays, pilasters, storefront design, fenestration, and material and color application. The following elements shall be considered to facilitate interesting skylines and create dynamic interrelationships between building form and Y i architectural details at the pedestrian level. 1. Break building massing into three or more primary Building mass broken up into primary forms forms through changes in volume, wall heights, roof forms, parapet heights, and offsets in wall planes. 2. Use color and material applications to reinforce and 4 help define each of the massing forms. 3. Apply the principles of building massing to all elevations. �0 4. Step back upper stories to allow light to enter the public street and lower level interior spaces. Ji 5. Buildings that include courtyards, arcades, and 1 other usable pedestrian spaces are encouraged. Upper stories stepped back 6. Provide pedestrian paseos or sidewalks, where ' t f�� feasible, on each block to connect parking areas to the street/commercial frontage. J 7.

In order to achieve a vibrant, walkable, University/RTP district, University students and University/ RTP employees must have opportunities to live, shop, work, and enjoy entertainment and services within close proximity of the University/RTP.The Example of buildings defining Town Center provides a location for these activities to occur by allowing the street edge to create a a mix of retail, office, and residential uses in an urban environment. quality pedestrian environment Successful retail and entertainment uses require significant pedestrian activity to ensure long-term economic viability. In a pedestrian scaled urban environment, buildings play the primary role in defining pedestrian spaces including sidewalks, plazas, and courtyards. Fostering pedestrian activity along interior circulation corridors is critical to the interactive, urban nature of the Town Center. Interior circulation corridors, including major commercial streets and pedestrian pathways are a major setting for daily living within the 4 community. These outdoor mixed-use settings shall provide a comfortable, �. pedestrian atmosphere and activate the overall streetscene for aesthetic, pedestrian, and commercial interest. Example of buildings defining a paseo with outdoor seating December 2013 4-19 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.4.2 Town Center Design Fundamentals Characteristics contributing to a successful, university oriented Town Center include the following: r 1. Buildings define the street edge, public plazas, and pedestrian spaces to create quality pedestrian environments and opportunities for seating, dining, and t% - social gathering. - , r 2. A mix of uses such as coffee shops, bookstores, restaurants, services support university life.- 3. Fagades include variety and spontaneity that activate Example of outdoor dining the pedestrian experience. 4. Building entries and common areas remain the primary emphasis of the public street elevation, while parking is located to the side or rear of buildings or below grade to minimize the visual impact of parking lots on the public streetscape. 5. Building and site design anticipates and accommodates pedestrian and vehicle circulation to reduce traffic impacts on neighboring streets and jointly optimize pedestrians and vehicles. 6. Individual entries for offices and shops appropriately define each interior unit to create individuality and uniqueness. 7. Building mass and differentiation of roof forms, materials, color, and apparent floor heights reduce building bulk and create variety within the building fagade. 8. Enhanced architecture on all four sides conveys high quality design. 9. Building and site design promote connections between indoor and outdoor spaces 10. Massing and architectural elements define street corners and primary building entries. 4.4.3 Site Planning and Building Placement The dynamic mixed-use character of the Town Center will be established by the site design and placement of high- density residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings that form the streetscape, define pedestrian pathways, and establish urban spaces: 1. Arrange buildings to create a variety of outdoor pedestrian spaces including paseos, courtyards, plazas, squares, eating areas, arcades and/or usable open spaces. 2. Site buildings to create a unified, pedestrian-activated, business promenade and to define and scale the streetscene. 3. Orient buildings toward public streets, pedestrian pathways and/or active spaces. 4. Design open areas that are large enough to be usable, however, not so large that they appear empty or barren. 5. Provide architectural treatments, structures, and/or landscaping that shelters pedestrian walkways, such as arbors or pergolas where appropriate. 4-20 Draft Community Design 6. Design pedestrian and vehicular circulation routes that are intuitive, well-defined and easily discernible for appropriate and functional maneuverability and activity levels. 7. Provide well-planned pedestrian linkages that are as direct as possible between key sites such as the neighborhood park, schools, CPF sites, transit stops, town squares and the University to support walkability and the economic viability of the Town Center. Variety in type and form between buildings will foster the vertical and horizontal mixed-use nature of the Town Center to provide a range of retail, office, commercial, and neighborhood serving uses. The physical and visual integration of varied buildings will activate the urban, mixed-use character of the Town Center. 4.4.4 Building Form and Relief Architectural forms and features greatly effect how light strikes and frames the building, having a large impact on how the space is perceived in the pedestrian environment. The following elements shall be considered to facilitate and create dynamic interrelations of light, depth, and place along the streetscape and within other pedestrian spaces: Ju 1. Buildings that include courtyards, arcades, and other usable pedestrian spaces are encouraged. 2.

The following ` } shall be considered to facilitate the creation of interesting and attractive fagade treatments: 1. Articulate buildings and/or provide architectural detailing along public _ streets to enhance pedestrian scaling and visual interest along the streetscape. _ 2. Avoid monolithic buildings of singular Example of vertical roof breaks,color and material changes,wall form, height, wall plane, or materials plane projections,and architectural elements to create interest and visible to the public to the greatest distinguish individual units extent possible. When buildings of a single form and height are used, articulate the building with layered wall planes, banding, architectural details, and/or materials. 3. Use projections, overhangs, recesses, banding, and other architectural details to provide shadow, articulation, and scale to building elevations as appropriate to the architectural style. 4. Avoid identical architectural appearance or use of the same materials or color palette in the design of adjacent mixed-use buildings, unless mirrored architecture is an integral feature of the project design vocabulary. 4-22 Draft Community Design 5. Incorporate at least 2 of the following techniques in the design of fagades to enhance building architecture and reduce overall mass: a. Color change/color variation b. At least 2 different exterior materials c. Change in texture d. Vertical/horizontal wall plane projections/recesses e. Variation of roofline (height or form) f. Architectural elements significantly different from main building in mass or height g. Projections h. Balconies i. Window groupings or treatment 6. Express a unified design for all elevations of a single building, visible from a public street, or pedestrian space; however, elements and materials are not required to wrap the building on elevations that are not visible to the public. 7. Orient major building and tenant entries toward the main pedestrian frontage whenever possible. 8. Enhance entries through massing, articulation, architectural design elements, and/or signage. 9. Where appropriate, utilize glass at the ground level. 4.4.7 Parking Lots and Structure Convenient and accessible parking is an important factor ensuring the success of retail uses within the Town Center. A pedestrian-friendly Town Center must provide adequate parking. This requires distributing parking efficiently and reducing of the impact of large parking areas on the public streetscape. The following guidelines shall be considered in the design of parking lots and structures in the Town Center: 1. Provide parking in surface lots, parking structures, below grade parking garages, podium parking, or any combination of these. Above ground structures shall be subject to design review. 2.

Example-varied roof and massing breaks December 2013 4-27 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.5.6 Facade Treatments Facade treatments play an important role in defining individual units and reinforcing the overall design character of the community. Typically, the location of windows and doorways are determined by the practical considerations of room layout, furniture placement, views, and privacy. Design emphasis here is of particular concern as windows and doors play an important role in the exterior architectural character of buildings. Materials and colors help to reduce f overall mass and provide visual interest. 1. Use entries to create an initial impression, locate and frame the doorway, and act as an interface between public and private spaces. 2. Wherever possible, orient front doors and provide access toward the public street or entry courtyard. 3. Incorporate appropriate roof elements, columns, feature u windows, and/or architectural forms in the entry statement to - emphasize the building character and the location of individual doorways as appropriate to building configuration. 4. If front entry location is not immediately obvious due to building configuration, direct and draw the observer to it with added lighting and landscape elements. —� 5. Within the appropriate style requirements, group and Enhanced building entry toward street coordinate windows with other design elements to create a composition and order. 6. Where appropriate to style, ;• building configuration, and r window form, use of multi- r paned windows is encouraged. r 7.

The "Simple House" concept suggests that elementary structural forms and building masses can achieve authentic traditional styles. By shifting the emphasis from complex floor and roof plan designs and pop-outs and onto material application and architectural detailing that reinforce the architectural style of each home, the public streetscene will be enhanced and limited resources will be used efficiently. R S Example of a simple house Example of a Villa House December 2013 4-31 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.6.2 Detached Residential Design Fundamentals Superior detached residential buildings include the following design fundamentals: 1. Simple house designs enhanced with appropriate colors, materials, and details keep the architectural styles authentic. 2. Architecture forward to the street(rather than garage doors) makes the home, not the garage, the primary emphasis of the front elevation. 3. Some single story massing such as first floor pop-outs, porches, or bay windows along the public street frontage provide pedestrian scale. 4. Varied garage placement and treatment distinguishes individual homes and reduces the visual impact of garage doors on the public street. 5. An eclectic variety of complementary architectural styles carefully plotted creates diverse street scenes. 6. Varied roof pitches, heights, and forms reduce the visual impact of rooftops. 7. Contrasting colors and materials highlight architectural styles and create greater variety. 8. Enhanced architecture at high visibility areas, such as areas adjacent to open space, parks, and streets convey high quality design. 9. Connections between indoor and outdoor spaces are promoted in building and site design, enhancing livability and the Southern California lifestyle. 4.6.3 Architectural Massing The Simple House concept requires simple architectural massing to maintain style authenticity and efficient construction Added Simple framing. Simple house design adheres to Forms/Single story the following massing criteria: Massing at street as Rectilinear Base 1. Use a simple rectilinear form as Appropriate to Style the basis for the floor plan. Add additional simple forms to expand, add interest, and achieve floor _AA plan objectives. 2. Consider multiple, appropriate elevation styles for each floor plan to ensure the added forms yield the correct massing for each style. Simple house massing 4-32 Draft Community Design 3. Reflect interior uses within the repertoire of forms for the chosen architectural style while manipulating exterior mass and form to improve the streetscape. 4. Select architectural styles that best fit the massing derived from the floor exam Ian. As an le styles such as the p p Monterey and Spanish Colonial elevate as a two-story _ _- rectangular form. Designing a floor plan with simple two- -. story stacking of exterior walls yields the correct massing , form for either of these styles. 5. Alternate street-facing garage locations,from shallow to deep,and garage configurations between floor plans within each neighborhood to provide variety in the streetscene. 6. Minimize the number of foundation breaks to ease and simplify construction framing. 7. Use style appro riate architectural details materials and colors to articulate wall planes, create shadow, and provide visual interest. 8. Give particular consideration to the treatment of publicly visible elevations including side elevations, second story rear elevations, and roof elements visible from major streets. Example of simple house design 4.6.4 Roof Forms Rows of homes seen from a distance or along major roads are perceived by their contrast against the skyline or background. The dominant impact is the shape of the building and roof line. 1. Vary roof forms and pitches to reflect authentic expression of a selected style. Develop a simple truss system with minimum deviations for simple and efficient framing. 2. Vary the pitch and form of roof lines to express a variety of conditions and minimize the visual impact of repetitious flat planes, similar building silhouettes, and similar ridge heights. 3. Use a variety of front-to-rear and side-to-side gables, hipped roofs, and/or the introduction of a one- story element. 4. Encourage the use of cool roofs, photovoltaics, or other energy saving materials and features.

Neighborhood Recreation (Not associated with an attached residential community) Such facilities may consist of a single building or a group of buildings on one site. Community use buildings associated with attached residential — ti f mi communities shall be integrated into the site plan for that community and a are therefore exempt from these standards but are subject to the guidelines in Section 4.4, Attached Residential Design Guidelines. In addition, public Key Map and institutional buildings (such as schools, fire stations, libraries, police (N.TS.) stations, and buildings associated with public parks) are exempt from these standards because of their unique disposition and application. Public and institutional buildings shall be subject to design review by the appropriate City department. CPF designated sites shall be subject to the applicable Master Precise Plan as described in Section 9.3.7. Since the intended use of the building(s) will drive the spatial and functional requirements of the building, these design guidelines must remain flexible to ensure that the needs of the intended use(s) are adequately addressed within the design. Some uses may be subject to specific design requirements required by the state and other regulatory agencies. Such requirements shall take precedent over the requirements of this SPA and the design regulation and guidelines contained herein. 4.7.1 The Community Use Concept Regardless of whether the facility is privately or publicly owned, community use facilities are intended for the use and enjoyment of the community and must therefore be treated as a public amenity. Building designs shall reflect the facility's function while at the same time support the intended character established for Village 9 by incorporating design features that promote public use and enjoyment. 4-38 Draft Community Design 4.7.2 Community Use Facility Design Fundamentals Regardless of use, superior community use facilities include the following design fundamentals: 1. Primary buildings act as key, thematic icons for the surrounding community. 2. Design elements, building form, and site design reflect the intended use of the building(s), i.e. religious institution, community center, etc. 3. Building facades include variety and spontaneity to activate the pedestrian experience. 4. Building entries and common areas, not parking, remain the primary emphasis of the public street elevation. 5. Building and site design anticipates and accommodates pedestrian and vehicle circulation to reduce traffic impacts on neighboring streets and jointly optimize pedestrian and vehicular circulation. 6. Building mass and differentiation of roof forms, materials, color, and apparent floor heights reduce building bulk and create variety within the building fagade. 7. Enhanced architecture on all four sides conveys high quality design. 8. Connections between indoor and outdoor spaces are promoted in building and site design. 9. Massing and architectural elements define street corners and primary building entries. 4.7.3 Site Planning and Building Placement Since community use buildings will act as icons for the village, building placement is an important consideration. Institutional uses also require special consideration due to the associated traffic and noise associated with such uses. The following guidelines must be considered in the design of all institutional buildings: 1. Arrange buildings to create a variety of outdoor spaces including courtyards, plazas, squares, eating areas, arcades, and/or usable open spaces. 2. Orient buildings toward streets, pedestrian pathways and/or active spaces. 3. Include architectural treatments, structures, and/or landscape features that shelter pedestrian walkways, such as arbors or pergolas, where appropriate. 4. Design pedestrian and vehicular circulation routes that are intuitive, well-defined, and easily discernible for appropriate and functional maneuverability and activity levels. December 2013 4-39 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.7.4 Building Mass and Form Community use buildings and facilities tend to be larger in scale and therefore massing is of particular concern. The following guidelines address methods to reduce the apparent mass of large buildings: 1. Avoid long, unbroken faces that exceed approximately 30 feet in length. 2. Use offsets and massing articulation to reflect the organization of the floor plan. 3. Vary building depths to provide interesting massing. 4. When appropriate to the use, provide one story elements at the ends of two-story buildings to soften building mass. 5. Use balconies, shade structures, one story projections, and other architectural elements to create interest and articulate volume. 6. Develop a special relationship between buildings and pedestrians by designing ground story facades at human scale through one or more of the following methods: a. Breaking facades into bays and smaller forms. b. Bringing signage down to a pedestrian level to reduce scale. c. Introducing arcades, courtyards, and other outdoor spaces. d. Utilizing massing elements to emphasize primary building entries and street corners. i Community Purpose Facility designed to create pedestrian spaces along the street;Offsets and massing reflect the interior spaces 4-40 Draft Community Design 4.7.5 Roof Forms The following guidelines address roof forms of community use buildings: 1. Change roof pitches and eave heights by using offsets in the plan. Provide a minimum vertical distance of 2 feet between roof plans. 2. Avoid continuous, unbroken roof lines longer than 90 feet in length. - -- --- ` 3. In general, keep roof pitch slopes relatively shallow to minimize visual massing of buildings while remaining true to the selected architectural style. 4. Combine flat roofs with sloped roofs. The entire roof shall not be flat. - 5. When appropriate to style and function, provide broad overhangs in response to climactic conditions, particularly at openings, porch enclosures, balconies, and M■■ window recesses. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! �. 6. When building forms are visible from Varied roof forms adjacent residential neighborhoods, provide full roof solutions to the greatest extent feasible. 7. Design roofs for functionality while enhancing or complementing the overall architectural design of the building. 8. Integrate form, materials, fascia and/or cornice elements into the overall design vocabulary. 9. When used, create contiguous parapets and incorporate them into side/rear elevation returns. 10. Use roof forms to screen mechanical equipment whenever possible. 11. Encourage the use of cool roofs, photovoltaics, or other energy saving materials and features. December 2013 4-41 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4.7.6 Facade Treatments The following fagade treatment guidelines are intended to improve the streetscape and create attractive community use buildings: 1. Enhance primary building or campus entries to create a sense of arrival and clearly indicate location. 2. Clearly identify building or campus entries with well defined primary pedestrian pathways and entry features such as arbors, porte cocheres, or architectural features. 3. Design windows to reflect interior uses and provide views to common outdoor spaces and the public street. 4. For schools and other uses that include multiple buildings in a campus setting, convey similar architectural character, colors, and materials on all buildings. 4.7.7 Parking The following guidelines are intended to ensure that the design of parking areas are functional and do not detract from the public streetscape: 1. Locate parking behind or to the side of buildings to reduce the impact of large parking areas on the public street. 2. Design parking areas to be used as flexible outdoor spaces for farmers markets, festivals, special events, and other community events. 3. Locate drop-off areas and provide adequate stacking for vehicle traffic to avoid creating traffic conflicts on adjacent public streets and to reduce the impact on adjacent residential and commercial uses. 4-42 Draft Community Design 4.7.8 Utilities and Services The following shall be considered in the location and design of mechanical equipment, utilities, service and loading areas, and waste collection facilities: 1. Locate loading and service areas to the side or rear of the building. Shield the loading/service areas with walls, berms, or landscaping to limit visibility from public streets or pedestrian spaces. 2. Integrate screening of mechanical equipment, waste enclosures, service areas, and other service- oriented building necessities into the site and building design. 3. Incorporate similar colors and materials as the principal building into the design of the screening, enclosures, and/or service buildings. 4. Locate waste containers away from public rights-of-way, building entries, and pedestrian spaces. 5. Screen all roof-mounted equipment with parapets, screen walls, fencing, equipment wells, structural enclosures, or similar features. 6. Install exterior, on-site utilities underground, where feasible. For utilities required to be above ground, screen and incorporate into the landscaping to the greatest extent possible. 7. Mount electrical equipment onto the interior of a building whenever practical.When interior mounting is impractical, screen electrical equipment from public view with walls, berms, or landscaping. 8. Provide lighting at activity areas, parking lots, and along major pathways. 9. If lighting is provided for outdoor activities, provide a timer. 4.8 LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES The following landscape design guidelines provide guidance in the landscaping of private lots. These guidelines are intended to be flexible to allow for individual expression of style while still reinforcing the village character and transect.

This system includes the extension of existing and planned roads, trails, and transit from adjacent villages as well as internal systems to serve the SPA. This chapter describes how this system accommodates all users including pedestrians, bicyclists,vehicles, low speed vehicles(LSVs), and public transit. Streets within the SPA are designed as "complete" streets. As defined by the Complete Street Coalition, complete streets are defined as roadways that are "...designed and operated to enable safe access for all users. Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities must be able to safely move along and across a complete street." Benefits of complete streets include the following: 1. Improved safety for all users by providing adequate facilities for all users and reducing traffic speeds. 2. Balanced transportation systems that provide direct connections,variety of transportation choices, and reduced traffic congestion. 3. Opportunities for healthier, more active lifestyles that include walking and bicycling. 4. A potential reduction in carbon emissions and dependence on oil by shifting trips to non-motorized and alternative modes of transportation. Corridors will also play a key role in establishing the village design theme. Corridors will be defined through the landscape palette and design themes identified by the roadway and trail standards described in this chapter, through the placement and types of buildings as regulated by Chapter 3, Development Code, and through the landscape and architectural design of individual parcels and community elements as described in Chapter 4, Community Design. Each corridor will have an identifiable landscape theme consistent with its location within the transect.All these design elements work together to create superior street scenes that encourage pedestrian activity and a strong village identity. December 2013 5-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 5.2 MULTI-MODAL PLANNING PRINCIPLES The following principles led to the creation of the multi-modal transportation system described in this section: 1. Design complete streets that consider all modes of travel including automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, transit, low speed electric vehicles (LSVs), and alternative vehicles. 2. Permit decreased levels of service(LOS)during peak hours along Town Center Arterials to reduce the number of automobile travel lanes and to slow traffic in pedestrian oriented areas. 3. Provide multiple connections and routes to evenly distribute traffic and reduce the need for large volume roadways, create slower speed streets that are safer for pedestrians and bicycles, and shorten distances between destinations. 4. Ensure alternative routes are available via low-speed streets(less than 35 mph) between key destination points to accommodate low speed electric vehicles (LSVs). 5. Where appropriate, provide room for future dedicated transit lanes or corridors to promote efficient transit. 6. Provide bulb-outs, enhanced paving, or other traffic calming features, subject to City of Chula Vista and Fire Department approval, in areas where pedestrians and vehicles are anticipated to mix. 7. Create active, vibrant, high-density, mixed-use areas to generate enough ridership to support public transit. 8. Locate transit stops near major pedestrian nodes and generators. 9. Respect the privacy of residential uses when designing pedestrian paths and selecting transit stop locations. 10. Provide shade trees along streets to provide comfortable walking and biking environments, reduce heat islands, and shade parked vehicles. 11. Locate transit stops and stations in convenient locations. 12. Provide transit stops with adequate lighting and well-designed shelters. 13. At the intersection of two or more transit routes, minimize walking distances between transfer stops. 14. Provide convenient, secure bicycle parking for all uses including residential, commercial, parks, and active open space areas. 15. Provide on-street parking and only the minimum required off-street parking to reduce the impact of parking lots and structures on the streetscape and promote the use of bicycles, transit, and alternative modes of travel. 16. Provide Village Pathways, Regional Trails, and other multi-use trails including connections to the Chula Vista Greenbelt Master Plan and the Otay Valley Regional Park Plan as identified in the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. 5-2 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design 5.3 EXISTING REGIONAL CIRCULATION NETWORK Regional vehicular access to Village 9, as shown in Exhibit 5.1 - Existing Regional Circulation, is currently provided from State Route 125(SR-125)via Olympic Parkway to Eastlake Parkway. Eastlake Parkway currently terminates at its intersection with Hunte Parkway, which is located at the northeast corner of the SPA. Hunte Parkway is planned to extend westerly through the SPA as Main Street and a new access ramp will connect Hunte Parkway/Main Street to SR-125, providing direct access to the site as described in the following section. A new access ramp will also connect the future Otay Valley Road to SR-125, providing direct access to the site as described in the following section. Public transportation is currently provided by Chula Vista Transit,a part of Metropolitan Transit System. Multiple routes, Routes 712 and 709, serve the Otay Ranch Area; however, neither route currently extends service to Village 9. The nearest stop is located over 1 mile away.

This organization is consistent with the roadway classifications established by the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP). In Village 9, roadways form a grid street pattern that promotes walkability and supports urban development in the Town Center. This modified grid pattern gives way to a more suburban street pattern near the southern edge of the SPA, providing a transition to the natural open space areas in the south and responding to the topography of this portion of the site. Both Main Street and Otay Valley Road serve as the primary gateways for the site and adjoining villages by providing access from SR-125 via new freeway access ramps. Main Street will connect SR-125 to existing Hunte Parkway, located east of the SPA. Main Street will also allow for a future extension across SR-125 to Village 8 East. Otay Valley Road will connect SR-125 to the proposed university located east of the SPA. The roadway will be designed to allow for a future extension into the University. Otay Valley Road will also allow for a future connection to Village 8 East across SR-125. Driveway access is not permitted from Main Street or Otay Valley Road. Street A serves as the primary north-south connection through the SPA. Central to the circulation concept for Village 9 is the use of an urban couplet on Street A, through the heart of the town center. An urban couplet is an arterial roadway that splits into a pair of one-way roadways through the town center. The intent is to bring traffic into the town center, promoting a vibrant and successful commercial mixed-use area. This pair of roadways combined accommodates the same volume of traffic as the traditional two-way arterial while maintaining pedestrian scaled street widths, more efficient traffic flow and turning movements for motorists and transit, and safer bicycle routes. Each road consists of no more than two travel lanes and includes sidewalks, parallel parking, and on-street bike lanes. Reduced street width, shade trees, minimized setbacks, and urban uses required along the couplet create a visual street"frame" and a pedestrian friendly atmosphere. Such networks have the additional benefit of increasing the exposure and amount of commercial frontages within the town center, providing for alternative modes of transportation, and defining place. This one-way street system reduces left turn delays and creates safer turning movements at each intersection,which benefits automobiles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Driveway accessed from Street A shall be a minimum of 50 feet from intersections. Street B serves as a secondary north-south connection and the major transit corridor through the SPA by providing dedicated transit lanes and transit stops at key locations. Street B also provides the interface between the University/RTP and the remaining portions of Village 9. 5-4 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design Putv,ne Fastern urban Center ' - A y NO h N 57KECT...

Exhibit 5.2 - Vehicular Circulation December 2013 5-5 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Campus Boulevard serves as the iconic plaza of the town center. This street consists of a special street section that allows the street to be closed to traffic and serve as a public space for community events. Campus Boulevard has been strategically located and designed to create a strong visual and physical connection between the community park and the future university and the RTP. Campus Boulevard is intended to extend into the university as a main pedestrian route. Driveway access along Campus Boulevard shall be a minimum of 25 feet from intersections. Remaining streets in the Town Center, Urban Center, and Urban Neighborhood Zones include a grid pattern of town center Streets that feed into the couplet and Campus Boulevard, increasing the number of routes between neighborhoods and destinations within the town center and increasing the number of intersections along those routes. The geometry of these streets minimizes travel distance due to the reduction of isolated areas of development and the provision of direct routing. Multiple parallel routes to the town center provide shorter and more convenient routes for pedestrians and alternate routes for automobile traffic. This grid of streets provides additional opportunities for connections with the university. Driveway access along Town Center Streets shall be a minimum of 25 feet from intersections unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The balance of the roadway system is comprised of Parkway Residential Streets. The alignment of these streets will be determined by the Tentative Map(s) for planning areas south of Otay Valley Road. Driveway access along Town Center Street shall be a minimum of 25 feet from intersections unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. 5.5 ALTERNATIVE MODES Alternative modes of transportation including low speed vehicles(LSVs),walking, bicycle,and transit contribute to healthier and more vibrant communities by providing a variety of alternatives to the car. Providing alternative modes allows people to get out of their cars and into the public realm where they can interact with one another as a community. Alternative modes also promote healthier lifestyles by encouraging increased physical activity and potentially reducing vehicle use and the associated air pollutants. The following section describes the major alternative transportation modes accommodated within Village 9. These include LSV, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit. 5.5.1 Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) Circulation Network Low speed electric vehicles (LSVs) provide a clean, alternative vehicular mode of transport, ideal for shorter trips. The LSV network, as illustrated in Exhibit 5.3 - Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) Circulation consists of low speed streets. LSVs are permitted on all streets with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less. The circulation system has been intentionally designed to provide an internally connected system of low speed streets that allow LSVs to travel between various destinations within Village 9. Potential connections for LSVs are also provided to the future University/RTP along Street B. LSVs are not permitted on sidewalks, trails, or other pedestrian pathways. 5-6 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design Future Fastern Urban Center t 6-2 C P} '59' A q (UP J ■ A (UC) i �i N5T� e F 1 WO a D 1y_I ( 7 (P) s a T5q ' JJ F i G (0) �i (UN) X-I K-2 unit/ mLty/ '■� (UN) J (TO rrc) RYP 5itC Ele t-y (CPF] sScnno!5fte SYRffr - +qp L M N 0-1 0-2 9 Le end L w (rcJ fTCJ r"O (rc) 3 L (P) " CAA - Neagh,Park � ■+ ■ aP■ •• : a ■■•►**" Low Speed Street futvre Pedestnan C: 9-2 Note: k Hndge (rCJ 70 (r0 (rc) �■, y • 5 � n 1.

Potential transit stops are also shown since these modes are closely related. The following includes a brief description of each type of pedestrian corridor: 1. Village Pathway - The Village Pathway, provided along the south side of Campus Boulevard, extends between the neighborhood park and the university, providing a direct connection between these two uses. The pathway extends through the park and provides a connection point to a future pedestrian bridge that will ultimately cross SR-125 to Village 8 East. Village Pathways in Otay Ranch are intended to provide an off-street, interconnected multi-use trail that allows bicycles and pedestrians to travel between village cores and town centers. Within the Town Center, bike lanes are also provided so that bicycles do not conflict with the high levels of pedestrian activity anticipated in this urban center. This 10-foot wide paved trail runs parallel to Campus Boulevard as shown in Exhibit 5.18- Campus Boulevard. 2. Regional Trail - The 10-foot Regional Trail occurs along the southerly side of Otay Valley Road as shown in Exhibit 5.9 - Otay Valley Road. This Class I bike path extends across SR-125 and connects to Village 8 East and the University. The Regional Trail also extends from Otay Valley Road south, along the westerly edge of the SPA, through the pedestrian park(Planning Area HH) and open space (OS-3), and will ultimately connect to the Salt Creek Trail as part of the Otay Valley Regional Park system. This portion of the trail is illustrated in Exhibit 5.22 - Regional Trail. A third segment of the Regional Trail connects the town square, near the Main Street/Hunt Parkway intersection, with the Regional Trail and future pedestrian bridge planned for the EUC. 3. Sidewalks -All streets include sidewalk, providing connections between destinations including residential neighborhoods, the town center, parks, schools, and rural trails through open space. 4. Neighborhood Trails- Neighborhoods trails are off-street trails that provide pedestrian connections between neighborhoods. They typically occur on slopes, at the end of cul-de-sacs, or where other site conditions do not allow full roadway connections . The intent is to promote walkability by providing more direct pedestrian connections than would otherwise occur along public roadways. The final location and alignment of these trails will be determined by the Tentative Map(s) for Planning Areas AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, and FF. 5. Parks, paseos, and public pathways - Additional pathways that are not illustrated in Exhibit 5.4- Pedestrian Circulation, shall be provided through parks, the TC and UC Zones, and mixed use and residential neighborhoods to provide direct pedestrian connections between the various planning areas in Village 9 and to adjacent villages. The alignment of park pathways will be determined by the individual park site master plan while the alignment of paseos and public pathways will be determined by the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan, the applicable Master Precise Plan, and site plan(s)for the various planning areas. 5-8 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design Potential Future Eastem Urban Center Connection to Regional Trail C row , and Future v g_I 5'2 0 Pedestrian rUCJ A q lUCJ Bridge in EUC rU0 tl �2 5 I rucJ .� NQ D (UC) H-2 l . ` (UC) rP� F rUJ WN) K_l -2 Unwersityl I (UN) e.

Village Pathway - The Village Pathway, provided along the south side of Campus Boulevard, extends between the neighborhood park and the university, providing a direct connection between these two uses. The pathway extends through the park and provides a connection point to a future pedestrian bridge that will ultimately cross SR-125 to Village 8 East. Village Pathways in Otay Ranch are intended to provide an off-street, interconnected multi-use trail that allows bicycles and pedestrians to travel between village cores and town centers. Within the Town Center, bike lanes are also provided so that bicycles do not conflict with the high levels of pedestrian activity anticipated in this urban center. This 10-foot wide paved trail runs parallel to Campus Boulevard as shown in Exhibit 5.18- Campus Boulevard. 2. Bike Lanes - Most main vehicular thoroughfares and internal Town Center Streets include dedicated, striped, on-street Class II bike lanes as shown in Exhibit 5.20 - Town Center Street. Exceptions include Streets A and B, which provide Class III Bike Routes, and Street M. 3. Residential Streets - Although no dedicated lanes are provided for bicycles, the traffic volumes on parkway residential streets will be low enough to accommodate bicycles as well as vehicles. The alignment of these Class III bike routes will be determined by the Site Plan(s)/Tentative Map(s)for Planning Areas AA, BB, CC, DD, EE, and FF. See Exhibit 5.19 - Residential Street. 4. Park Pathways - Some park pathways may be designed to accommodate bicycles subject to City of Chula Vista approval. The alignment of these Class I pathways will be determined by the individual park site master plan. 5. Regional Trail - The 10-foot Regional Trail occurs along the southerly side of Otay Valley Road as shown in Exhibit 5.9 - Otay Valley Road. This Class I bike path extends across SR-125 and connects to Village 8 East and the University. The Regional Trail also extends from Otay Valley Road south, along the westerly edge of the SPA, through the pedestrian park(Planning Area HH) and open space (OS-3), and will ultimately connect to the Salt Creek Trail as part of the Otay Valley Regional Park system. This portion of the trail is illustrated in Exhibit 5.22 - Regional Trail. A third segment of the Regional Trail connects the town square, near the Main Street/Hunt Parkway intersection, with the Regional Trail and future pedestrian bridge planned for the EUC.

Village 9 has been designed to be transit ready for future extension of transit service into the area. In addition to the existing and planned facilities illustrated in Exhibit 5.6-General Plan Transit, additional potential transit stops are illustrated in Exhibit 5.7 - SPA Transit. Transit service will be provided by one or more of the various transit service types described in this section. The final route, type of service, and timing of service will ultimately be determined by the transit agency.All transit stops shall be designed to be ADA compliant and shall meet the design criteria of the transit service provider. A. BUS RAPID TRANSIT Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is the highest level of transit service being considered for the Otay Ranch area. BRT is designed to provide longer distance, higher speed (45-60 mph average), regional trips along high capacity corridors such as arterial roads and freeways. Standard all stop service can be supplemented with express service during peak commute hours to provide direct non-stop service between major residential, employment, and activity centers. BRT combines a series of transit-only lanes with mixed flow lanes that are shared with normal auto traffic. In mixed flow conditions, BRT vehicles typically receive priority at signalized intersections. BRT systems include high-quality, rubber-tired, low floor buses that offer speed, comfort, and amenities with the flexibility of a non-fixed track. Stops are typically spaced 0.5-1 mile apart along arterials and 4-5 miles apart along highways. BRT has a ridership capacity of 50-80 seated plus standees. Village 9 has reserved right-of-way in portions of Main street and in Otay Valley Road as well as dedicated lanes on Street B for potential BRT service. B. RAPID BUS Rapid Bus provides a service level option between BRT and High-Frequency Local Bus service. Rapid Bus also provides higher speed service (averaging 25 mph) along high volume arterial corridors. Rapid Bus combines short segments of transit-only lanes with mixed flow lanes that are shared with normal auto traffic. In mixed flow conditions, rapid bus vehicles typically receive priority at signalized intersections. Rapid Bus can be upgraded to BRT over time as warranted. Rapid Bus includes high-quality, rubber-tired, low floor buses that offer speed, comfort, and amenities with the flexibility of a non-fixed track. Stops are typically spaced 0.5-1 mile apart. Rapid Bus has a ridership capacity of 40 seated plus standees. Potential Rapid Bus service could be accommodated on Main Street, Otay Valley Road and Street B. C. HIGH-FREQUENCY LOCAL BUS High-Frequency Local Bus provides mid-to-short distance trips between key local activity centers and neighborhoods. Buses consist of typically standard and single articulated buses with low floor design. High- Frequency Local Bus integrates with normal auto traffic. Buses travel at speeds up to the posted limit of the streets they operate on; however,due to the frequent stops,the average speed is approximately 12 mph. Stops are spaced approximately 1-4 blocks apart. Typical passenger capacity is 37-57 seated plus standees. 5-12 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design EE Lakes East H St. o o (elegraph y �. a. its o Eastea iG ♦ ��� S�• ♦ Village '� ♦ 9 a ey R * Main St. '�a'�.0i r i Legend-Transit Routes Existing Roadway Proposed Roadway Proposed Transit Route Along Existing Roadway Proposed Transit Route Along Proposed Roadway Proposed Stop/Station ® Proposed Stop with Park and Ride Not to Scale Exhibit 5.6 - General Plan Transit December 2013 5-13 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Future Pastern Urban Center L a - C Toit 5q, 41 6-1 5-2 0 a rucJ (UQ �I A - rIJCJ 4W a- '� 'q ruc} r 0 WO N-2 y_1 r+r 1 00 (PJ sr Town U F (u) K-2 Univ mityl (UN)a � rCJ frC} RTF Sim 4] he SrR,FfT �e M N ` rrcJ rrcJ N rrC1 rrcl cnu�s vo - Ne�JPark --- j Legeld Pedestrian k D a Planned Transit Route $r dge CJ (rC) CR1 C11 ICJ - --= r. •000• Potential Transit Route (NNC� (NO .

All proposed traffic calming features shall require City and Fire Department approval prior to installation. Traffic calming measures implemented in Village 9 include the following: A. Intersection Bulb-outs Intersection bulb-outs are described as intersections where the face of curb is projected into the parking lane to narrow the through travel way at the intersection. Bulb outs are incorporated into the street design by replacing parking at the intersection with sidewalk and planting areas as shown in Exhibit 5.25 - Typical Intersection Bulb-out. This configuration creates a narrowing of the travel way and tighter turning movements, forcing the driver to slow down. In addition, bulb-outs improve pedestrian visibility and shorten crossing distances, furthering pedestrian safety.

Urban Couplet The Town Center Arterial has been designed as an urban couplet and extends through the heart of the village as Street "A" North and Street "A" South. This couplet acts as a traffic calming devices by separating the arterial roadway into two one-way roadways. The two one-way roads that make up the couplet are able to handle similar volumes of traffic as a traditional two-way arterial; however,the narrower street section creates a more pedestrian oriented environment, activating the street, and changing the driver's perception and comfort level. Furthermore, the couplet has the additional benefit of reducing left turn delays and creating safer turning movements at each intersection,which benefits automobile drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. C. Narrow, Multi-Modal Streets Narrow, multi-modal streets calm traffic by changing the perception of the vehicle driver. Narrow lanes and the presence of bicycles and buses on the road reduces the comfort level of vehicle drivers, thereby causing them to drive more slowly and cautiously. This creates a safer environment for all modes of transportation, including pedestrians, by heightening the driver's awareness. D. Multiple Connections The grid circulation pattern for Village 9 is designed with multiple connections to more evenly distribute traffic, resulting in calmer streets. Multiple connections provide alternate route options, thereby distributing traffic throughout the network rather than funneling all traffic onto one single roadway. Numerous intersections also require vehicles to travel more slowly and make frequent stops,thereby calming traffic further. E. On-Street Parking On-street parking contributes to traffic calming by slowing traffic down as drivers search for available parking spaces and enter or leave on-street parking spaces. On-street parking also contributes to pedestrian safety and comfort by creating a buffer between moving traffic and pedestrians, reducing the level of perceived noise on the sidewalk, and reducing the need for alternative parking locations such as surface lots and parking garages. Finally, on-street parking promotes successful retail businesses and pedestrian activity by providing convenient and efficient access to parking and allowing multiple users to reach multiple destinations. Areas with increased activity require drivers to slow down and be more alert of potential conflict with pedestrians. December 2013 5-53 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA F. School Crossing Signalized intersection will be located along Otay Valley Road at the intersections of Street I,A, and B,as shown in Exhibit 5.22 - Traffic Calming, to allow safer pedestrian crossing for school children traveling between the elementary school and residential neighborhoods south of Otay Valley Road. A signalized intersection provides for a safer school crossing than an unsignalized crossing. The pedestrian crossing time will be set based on the width of the intersection and a walking speed of 4 fps. The "Walk" Phase could be set longer to ensure sufficient time for pedestrians to cross. The signal will allocate time during the cycle to-pedestrians and improve visibility when compared to other traffic control for this intersection. Depending upon how the school is situated, it is feasible that the crosswalks at the signalized intersection could be painted yellow indicating a school crossing. 5.9 TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT (TDM) Transportation Demand Management(TDM),also called Mobility Management, refers to strategies designed to improve the efficiency of transportation resources. The primary objectives of TDM include: 1. Reducing congestion 2. Conserving of energy and reducing emissions 3. Promoting health and fitness 4. Improving accessibility at all economic levels 5. Improving livability 6. Providing efficient parking 7. Increasing safety 8. Providing affordable transportation 5.9.1 TDM Strategies The TDM objectives are achieved in Village 9 through the following strategies: 1. Reduce trips and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMTs) through land use planning and streetscape design including: a. Mixed-use development that provides a variety retail shops and services within walking distance of homes and businesses,thereby reducing the need to drive to multiple locations(See Chapter 3) b. Compact development to support transit, retail, and services (See Chapter 2 and 3) c. Affordable housing to allow access for all income levels (See Appendix H) d. Design criteria that result in pedestrian friendly streetscapes to promote walkability(See Chapters 3, 4, and this chapter) 2. Design a multi-modal transportation system that optimizes joint use of the roadway infrastructure for all modes of transportation while reducing congestion and improving safety 5-54 Draft Circulation & Corridor Design 3. Design a vehicular circulation system with reduced speeds, managed access, one-way streets(an urban couplet), multiple connections, and intersection improvements that reduce congestion and minimize traffic conflicts 4. Provide infrastructure to support, promote, and prioritize alternative modes including pedestrians, bicyclists,transit, and Low Speed Vehicles(LSVs) 5. Implement traffic calming features to improve pedestrian safety, optimize speeds, and reduce congestion delays 6. Provide more accurate and flexible parking standards to maximize parking efficient and reduce the impact of parking on the pedestrian environment(See Chapter 3) 7. Participation in a Transportation Management Association (TMA)to manage parking and provide transportation services and events 5.9.2 Transportation Management Association (TMA) Transportation Management Associations(TMAs)are non-profit, member-controlled organizations that provide transportation services in a particular area to reduce VMTs and implement other TDM strategies. TMAs are generally public-private partnerships, consisting primarily of area businesses with local government support. Funding is typically provided through a CFD or other non-revocable funding mechanism. Village9will participate in a TMAthatcould include the Village 8 University/RTP,othervillages,or a geographically broader area if initiated by the regional transportation agency. The TMA may include both non-residential and residential properties, increasing membership and access.The TMA would include public-private partnerships of area businesses to create an institutional framework to provide TMA services.This arrangement will allow small employers to provide commute trip reduction services and financial incentives comparable to those offered by large companies. Commercial properties in Village 9 would be required to participate in the TMA. The TMA would provide the following services: 1. Parking Management 2. Shared Parking Coordination 3. Priority Parking for HOVs and other Alternative Modes 4. Rideshare Matching and Vanpool Coordination The TMA may also provide the following additional services: 1. Marketing and Promotion—website, flyers and mailers, maps, contests, community events, kiosks, improved wayfinding, education programs 2. Commuter Financial Incentives—parking cash outs, travel allowances,free/discounted transit/ tol lway fares, etc. 3. Alternative Work Schedule Support—flextime, compressed work weeks, staggered shifts December 2013 5-55 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 4. Guaranteed Ride Home Services 5. Shuttle Services 6. Special Event Transport Management 7. Telework Support—telecommuting, satellite office/local work center, mobility working,video conferencing, distance learning, internet shopping/errands 8. Transportation Access Guides 9. Wayfinding and Multi-Modal Navigation Tools 10. Car-share Services 11. Bicycle Rentals or Loan Services 12. On-going Coordination with City and/or the regional transportation agency- regarding safety hazards and code enforcement issues that impact both vehicular and non-vehicular modes 13. Implementing the Chula Vista Bikeway Master Plan within Village 9 and other participating villages in conjunction with local advocacy groups and City staff 5.11 ROADWAY PHASING The SPA Plan Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) establishes the circulation phasing plan and identifies the timing of specific improvements necessary to maintain the levels of services in the City's threshold standards in the Growth Management Element of the Chula Vista General Plan. The PFFP also describes the obligations for the construction, or contributions toward construction, for specific street segments. The phasing of the circulation plan, including specific access points and internal circulation, bicycle, pedestrian, and road crossings will be determined by the PFFP. Variations to these concepts may occur where safety or efficiency can be enhanced. 5.12 ROADWAY MAINTENANCE Other necessary street maintenance, including litter removal, weed/trash abatement, and the repair of streets, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, shall be provided by the City of Chula Vista and/or other maintenance entities as determined by the City through its Street Maintenance Program. 5-56 Draft y r _ ... t r - L.6— Chapter 6 k , Grading A-'r.� . rw � � L X44 ~ . r Y I fi • Grading Creating attractive slopes adjacent to roadways through Providing graceful transitions between planning thoughtful grading,retaining wall,and landscape design areas,individual lots,and adjacent uses 6.1 INTRODUCTION The Land Use and Transportation Element of the Chula Vista General Plan states that the mesas, hilltops, and gently rolling topography in the Chula Vista area offer the best conditions for development. Steeply sloped hills and valleys can serve as resources, linking the developed regions and the important natural features in the area. The goal of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan is to concentrate urban development on the flatter areas and retain the sensitive natural topographic features. 6.2 GRADING REQUIREMENTS In order to ensure that subsequent grading plans manifest the intent of the City's policies regarding landform grading and hillside development, tentative maps, tentative parcel maps, and final grading plans shall be consistent with the grading design concepts of the Village 9 SPA Conceptual Grading Plan, and shall adhere to the grading standards and policies described herein. December 2013 6-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 6.2.1 Otay Ranch General Development Plan The Otay Ranch General Development Plan also contains specific criteria to guide grading in the overall Otay Ranch area. Final grading designs implementing the SPA grading concept are required to incorporate the following: 1. Grading within the SPA shall be subject to Chapter 15.04-Excavation, Grading and Fills of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. 2. Ranch-wide, there shall be preservation of 83% of the existing steep slopes (property that possesses gradients of 25% or greater pursuant to RMP Phase II). 3. Geotechnical investigations shall be provided with each SPA plan. 4. Grading within each village is intended to minimize earthmoving distances and to facilitate phased grading. 5. Naturalized buffering shall be provided as a transition between development and significant existing landforms. 6. Manufactured slope faces over 25 feet in height shall be varied to avoid excessive "flat planned" surfaces. 7. Variable slope ratios not exceeding 2:1 should be utilized when developing grading plans. 8. To complement landform grading, landform planting techniques will be utilized. As in a natural setting, major elements of the landscape are concentrated largely in the concave "drainages," while convex portions are planted primarily with ground cover and minor materials. 6-2 Draft Grading 6.2.2 Otay Ranch Overall Design Plan The Otay Ranch Overall Design Plan provides additional guidelines for grading within the project area: 1. When grading in any of the defined scenic corridors, contours shall be carefully modulated and softened to blend with existing natural slopes to create a more natural and irregular appearance. 2. Excessively long, uniform slopes shall be avoided. 3. Contours should be rounded and blended without sharp or unnatural corners where cut or fill slopes intersect a natural canyon or slope. 4. Transitions between new cut and fill slopes and natural slopes should be made by rolling the top or bottom of the new slope to integrate the two conditions. 5. When grading for development or where roadways intersect a natural slope without cut or fill slopes (daylight condition), a rounded top or bottom of the slope should be retained to blend the natural slope with the building pad or road. 6. Create road alignments to meet the natural contours with minimal grading and blending of cut/fill slope with natural topography is required. 7. When feasible, divided roads may be split vertically to soften the impact of grading and to maximize potential scenic views. 8. Landscape graded slopes with native and indigenous plant materials to blend with existing planting when adjacent to new landscaping. The Otay Ranch Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (RMP) establishes a system to ensure 83% os steep slopes are preserved ranch-wide. According to the Phase 2 Resource Management Plan, application of the 83% preservation standard for existing steep slopes (slope gradient of 25% or greater pursuant to RMP Phase 2) means that 6,350 acres of steep slopes must be preserved ranch-wide and 1,301 acres of steep slopes may be developed. 6.2.3 Steep Slope Analysis The GDP and RMP establish a Ranch-wide standard for landform modifications that 83 percent of steep slopes (slopes with gradients of 25 percent or greater) shall be preserved within the Otay Valley. Development of the Village 9 SPA Plan would impact approximately 52 acres of steep slopes within the Otay Ranch. Future build-out projections for the Otay Valley, Proctor Valley, and San Ysidro parcels estimate that an additional 1,149-acres of steep slopes will be impacted Ranch-wide, including the 52 acres within Village 9. Combined with existing steep slope impacts (i.e. 255 acres), Ranch-wide impacts are estimated at 1,403 acres. Table 6.1 provides a summary of the projected Ranch-wide impacts to steep slopes at build-out.

Excludes acreages associated with Wildlife Agency conservation acquisitions that would no longer be developable:(a) 108 acres within Proctor Valley,and(b)72.1 acres within San Ysidro Mountains. Assumes development will impact 100%of steep slopes(slope gradient 25%)within current GDP/SRP development areas. Based on these results,future impacts to steep slopes would exceed the 1993 Otay Ranch GDP/RMP estimate of 1,301 acres(based on 83 percent of the originally estimated 7,651 acres of steep slopes Ranch-wide). As previously discussed however, deviations from the RMP are permissible provided the project's actual impact to steep slopes will not preclude subsequent entitlements from achieving the Ranch-wide preservation standard. In consideration of this, a current assessment of steep slopes using current, detailed topographic information and surveys indicates a total of 9,821 acres of steep slopes exist Ranch-wide.Applying the GDP/ RMP requirement for 83 percent steep slope preservation equates to 1,670 acres that could be impacted. As shown in Table 6.1, current and projected impacts to steep slopes could amount to 1,403 acres,which is within the RMP allowances. The 1,403 acres impacted equates to approximately 86 percent preservation. Actual impacts to steep slopes may be less than projected as this analysis conservatively assumes that 100- percent of steep slopes within current GDP development areas would be affected. 6-4 Draft Grading ONSITE MAN MADE SLOPES s 9459 5F 'n""A� NATURALLY OCCURRING SLOPES X2$% OFFSITE :Ovff-5� zAiA476C8 SF (55.6 (1,5 n, IN GRADING FOOTPRINT SUBTOTAL 2AM218SF [57A AC) MAN MADE SLOPES x25% 3817 SF :ONStTE 166,408F `3a --- OFFSITE 79,807 SF `1.8+4(.7 MMOTAL 2x5 M OF I54AC] r *NATURAL SLOPES 525%IMPACTED BY DEVELOPMENT r 2,278,026 SF 152-3 ACS l IL **NATURAL SLOPES>25%IMPACTED BUT RESTORED 6,860 SF [02 AQ s OFFSITE ONSITE MAN MADE t 1 OUTSIDE SLOPES GRADING FOOTPRINT 76695 SF ONSITE 88906 5F MAN MADE SLOPES 155986 SF A OFFSITE OFFSITE MAN MADE iN _IN GRADING FOOTPRINT SLOPES * 860 SF 3111 SF '� OFFSITE IN GRADING FOOTPRINT *4197 SF ~ 7k 27236 SF OFFSITE { IN GRADING FOOTPRINT .

Grading limits cannot extend outside the areas shown on the grading plan without further environmental study. The preliminary grading design is as illustrated by the Conceptual Grading Plan. The grading concept is based on the following objectives: 1. Create efficient man-made landforms that visually respond to natural terrain characteristics by including slope gradients that vary along the length of the slope and slopes that undulate horizontally(curvilinear). 2. Avoid slopes in excess of 2:1 gradient and slopes that do not utilize landform grading in areas that are clearly visible to the public where practical. 3. Create and maintain on-and off-site views in areas where grading will not cause adverse visual, public safety, and environmental impacts. 4. When significant land forms are modified for project implementation, round the land form as much as possible to blend into the natural grade. 5. With the approval of the City Engineer, round the tops and toes of slopes to blend with adjacent topography.When slopes cannot be rounded, utilize vegetation to alleviate sharp angular appearances. 6. Create smooth transitions between the SPA and surrounding properties. 7. Create usable areas that provide for a variety of commercial, mixed-use, and residential land uses. 8. Minimize, where feasible, impacts to sensitive areas adjacent to Wolf Canyon and the Otay River Valley. 9. Create usable park areas acceptable to the City of Chula Vista. 6.4 GRADING PRACTICES Preliminary soils and geotechnical reports have been prepared for Village 9 and have identified the site as being suitable for development. The proposed raw grading quantity for Village 9 is approximately 6,197,600 cubic yards of balanced cut and fill material. This raw quantity is exclusive of remedial measures that may be required by the soils engineer. Actual quantities will be based on more detailed engineering at the tentative map, grading plan, and final map stages. Exhibit 6.3 - Cut and Fill Map illustrates the estimated locations of cut and fill. At no time shall disturbed soil area of the project site be more than 100 acres for an individual grading permit or a combination of grading permits under associated Tentative Map unless approved by the City Engineer on a case-by-case basis. 6-6 Draft Grading A Future Eastern Urban Center 4 - C town.5.q_ 2:1 wa ate' F 1 F- r `r (QQ D (ucJ' N-2 (UCJ (UC) (P7 rr § --sq.

The plans shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building and the City Engineer. These plans and guidelines shall provide the following that serve to reduce the aesthetic impact: 1. A landscape design that addresses streetscapes, provides landscape intensity zones, greenbelt edge treatments, and slope treatment for erosion control. 2. Grading concepts that ensure manufactured slopes that are contoured, blend, and mimic the adjacent natural slopes. 3. Landscaping concepts that provide for transition from the manicured appearance of developed areas to the natural landscape in open space areas. 4. Landscaping concepts that include plantings selected to frame and maintain views. Landscaping should not block views created through grading and/or sire design. 6.4.2 Erosion Control Based on actual conditions at the time of construction, control measures such as berms, interceptor ditches, and vegetation will be used to minimize erosion and protect nearby open spaces and watersheds. All control measures will be consistent with best management practices and shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Based on actual field conditions, the erosion potential of slopes will be reduced with erosion control measures such as the following: A. Construction Measures 1. Schedule construction activities to reduce the amount and duration of soils exposed to wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking. 2. Preserve existing vegetation to the maximum extent practicable. 3. Apply hydraulic mulch, hydroseed, soil binders, straw mulch, geotextiles, or wood mulch to disturbed soils until permanent stabilization measures can be implemented. 4. Create temporary earthen dikes and swales to divert runoff from stabilized and disturbed areas. 5. All grading and/or construction activities shall be conducted in accordance with the required mitigation measures outlined in the EIR and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for Village 9. December 2013 6-9 Otay Ranch Village 9 B. Permanent Measures 1. Install berms at the tops of all slopes. 2. Include concrete brow ditches in slope design. 3. Provide energy dissipation devices at storm drain outlet points. 4. Landscape slopes and irrigate appropriately to minimize runoff. Erosion control will be in accordance with best management practices. Project grading permits will provide assurances acceptable to the City Engineer that landscaped slopes will have adequate maintenance to ensure continued viability of landscaping. Generally, except for private lots, slopes which exceed ten feet in height will be maintained by a homeowners' or property owners' association or a Landscape Maintenance District(LID). 6.5 SLOPE MAINTENANCE All slopes within Village 9 shall be maintained to improve the appearance of the community, ensure the long- term stability of man-made slopes, and allow for the continued viability of landscaping as specified by the project's grading permits. Slopes shall be maintained by various entities as follows: 1. Private lots - Private Property Owner. 2. Publicly owned lands with slopes exceeding 10 feet in height- Homeowner's Association, Property Owner's Association, Landscape Lighting Maintenance District(LID), or a landscape maintenance Community Facilities District(CFD). 3. Publicly owned lands with slopes 10 feet in height or less - City of Chula Vista Community Facilities District(CFD). 6.6 GRADING REVIEW Tentative maps, tentative parcel maps, and grading plans will require conformance to the grading concepts and requirements contained in this SPA, and to all applicable City policies and ordinances. Prior to grading plan approval by the City Engineer, all grading will be subject to the requirements of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, Grading Ordinance No. 1797, Storm Water Management and Discharge Control Ordinance No 2854, the City of Chula Vista Subdivision Manual, Design and Construction Standards of the City of Chula Vista, San Diego Area Regional Standard Drawings, and Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Prior to issuance of any land development permits including clearing, grubbing, and/or grading, the project proponent shall also comply with applicable mitigation measures outlined in the El and the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for Village 9. 6-10 Draft y _. r _ ...

The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan designates a variety of parks and open spaces throughout the SPA. This plan implements the goals, objectives, policies and implementation measures of the GDP and the Draft City of Chula Vista Parks Master Plan (Anticipated approval in late November 2013). This network of parks and open spaces shall define the community's character and provide a variety of active and passive recreational opportunities while raising the quality of life for both residents and visitors. Trails linking these parks and open space areas are discussed in Chapter 5, Circulation and Corridor Design. The City of Chula Vista requires a variety of parks, recreational uses, and open spaces to preserve natural resources and meet the social and recreational needs of the community. Permitted uses for each park and open space area are discussed in Chapter 3, Development Code. Open space areas are identified by the T-1 Transect and are subject to the zone requirements for T-1: Open Space Preserve(OP)and T-1: Open Space(OS). Exhibit 7.1 - Designated Parks and Open Space identifies and tabulates each park and open space area within the Village 9 SPA. This section also describes the requirements for parks, open space, and slopes and how these requirements have been met through this SPA plan. Additional information regarding the appropriate amenities, landscaping requirements, and other design considerations for each type of park and open space are also provided in the following sections.

The Village 9 plan provides a 13.4 acres of eligible Neighborhood Park, 3.4 acres of eligible town square, and 6.2 acres of eligible pedestrian parks for a total of 23.0 acres of eligible parkland. Where the 9.6 acres of eligible parkland from Village 8 West is factored in, Village 9 provides a total of 32.6 acres of eligible parkland as shown in Table 7.4-Village 9 Park Summary. Actual park acreage requirements will be based on the number of residential units (and projected population) approved on all Village 9 final maps. 7-10 Draft Parks & Open Space Park Standards Table 7.4 -Village 9 Parks Summary Neighborhood Parks Gross Aces Eligible Acres L 14.8 13.4 Subtotal 14.8 13.4 Town Squares C 3.6 2_8 1 1.5 0_6 Subtotal 5.1 3_4 Pedestrian Parks AL GG 2.9 1.6 HH 1.3 1.3 II 3.4 3.3 Subtotal 7.6 6.2 27.5 23.0 +Excess Park Acreage from 9.6 9.6 Village 8 West MFIMr 37.1 32.6 As noted above, excess park acreage from Village 8 West, estimated to be 9.6 acres, shall be applied to satisfy the overall Village 9 park acreage obligation. In concept with the Park Land Dedication Ordinance(CVMC 17.10), the City of Chula Vista Parks and Recreation Plan (PRMP) recognizes the practice of aggregating park acreage obligation from various development areas to create and site community parks and recreation systems that meet the needs of the public by efficiently distributing park types and associated recreation facilities and programs throughout the City. Consistent with PRIMP,the Otay Ranch General Development Plan identifies a large-scale Otay Ranch Community Park within the Western Sector of the Otay Ranch Valley Parcel. Partially located within Villages 2,4, and 8 West, the Otay Ranch Community Park represents the aggregation of park obligation from area villages. The portion of the future community park currently located within Village 8 West represents aggregated park acreage obligation from Village 8 and Village 9 West SPA to obligate the dedication of such park acreage(approximately 9.3 acres)from Village 8 West to satisfy a portion of Village 9's park obligation as needed. Phasing of park facilities, ownership, and maintenance responsibility will be determined by the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP). Actual facilities and amenities within each park will be determined as part of the individual park site master plan process.

The Public Facilities and Financing Plan (PFFP) and utility master plans provide more detailed explanations of these backbone facilities and assign responsibilities for construction and financing. Public utility systems, facilities, and services have been designed based upon the projected land uses and intensity of development proposed within the SPA and surrounding areas. Facilities are sized according to estimated demands and necessary distribution. The design and phasing of facilities may be modified during the tentative map and final map process with the City's approval in order to reflect the actual number of units, corresponding population projections, and construction phasing. 8.2 WATER SUPPLY AND MASTER PLAN Water service and facilities for the SPA are addressed in the December 2010 Final Overview of Water Service prepared by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. In accordance with the GDP and SPA requirements, the water plan demonstrates compliance with state and local agency requirements and the ability to serve the SPA. A summary of key points related to water service are provided below. 8.2.1 Water Supply 1. Senate Bill 610 principally applies to the California Water Code and requires the California Environmental Quality Act process to include documentation to definitively establish water availability. December 2013 8-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 2. California Senate Bills 221 and 610 were approved on October 9, 2001 and became effective January 1, 2002. Senate Bill 221 primarily applies to the Subdivision Map Act and requires the lead agency (City of Chula Vista), in considering a tentative map, to verify that the public water supplier(Otay Water District) has sufficient water supplies available to serve the project. To meet the requirements of Senate Bills 221 and 610, the City of Chula Vista has formally requested that the Otay Water District provide a Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report for the project. The Water Supply Assessment and Verification Report was approved by Otay Water District on January 5, 2011. 3. The SPA is located within the boundaries of the Otay Water District(OWD), which is the local agency responsible for providing water service. OWD is a member agency of the San Diego County Water Authority who, in turn, is a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District. The SPA is already within the boundaries of these agencies for water service, but will be required to annex into OWD Improvement Districts 22 and 27 prior to receiving service. 4. The project is within the Central Service Area of OWD. Water service to the project will be supplied from the 624, 711, and 980 pressure zones. The 624 Zone service will be supplied to Village 9 by the extension of pipelines in Main Street to the west of the project and the construction of an on- site 711/624 Zone pressure reducing station. 5. The 711 Zone portion of the project will be served by connects to the existing system at the intersection of Eastlake Parkway and Main Street/Hunte Parkway. 6. The 980 Zone will be supplied by connecting to existing lines in Eastlake Parkway to the east and in the EUC to the north. 7. OWD has three existing reservoirs in the 624 Zone. These reservoirs are supplied by OWD Connections 10 and 12 to the San Diego County Water Authority aqueduct. A 711 Zone pump station lifts water from the 624 Zone to the 711 Zone reservoirs. A 16 million gallon 711 Zone reservoir was built in recent years such that OWD has adequate storage to serve the ultimate projected development in this zone. There are two existing reservoirs in the 980 Zone with a combined capacity of 10 million gallons. No additional reservoir storage will be required to supply water to Village 9. 8.2.2 Potable Water Demand 1. Domestic water demand for the SPA is estimated to be 1.43 mgd. OWD will require a subarea master plan of water prior to the approval of final engineering plans for the project to better establish water demands and facility requirements. A water supply assessment will also be completed to assure that sufficient supplies are planned to be available as demand is generated for the project. 2. Exhibit 8.1 - Conceptual Potable Water Master Plan provides the recommended distribution system required to meet demands within the SPA. 8-2 Draft Public Utilities &Services Future Eastern!Urban Center uQ r ■ �2 .■.

Current OWD policies regarding new subdivision development requires the use of recycled water where available. Consistent with the Otay Ranch GDP, it is anticipated that recycled water will be used to irrigate street parkway landscaping, parks, manufactured slopes, and landscaped areas of commercial and multi-family residential sites. 2. The project is in the 680 and 944 Zones for recycled water service. The primary source of recycled water to the SPA will be the South Bay Water Reclamation Facility. From this plant, the recycled water system consists of a series of pump stations, transmission piping, and storage reservoirs that provide recycled water to the area. 3. The existing recycled water system that will serve the project involves the extension of the existing system from the intersection of Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway to the project. A plan to distribute recycled water within the project is depicted in Exhibit 8.2 - Conceptual Recycled Water Master Plan. 4. The use of recycled water directly offsets potable water use, making it an important component in the attempt to meet water supply challenges in the region. Village 9 is expected to offset potable water usage by an average of 0.125 mgd by utilizing recycled water where feasible. 5. Recycled water requirements for the project will be coordinated by the Otay Water District and City of Chula Vista. Phased construction of recycled water facilities, based on the OWD approved master plan, will be incorporated into the PFFP and/or subdivision map conditions to assure timely provision of required facilities. 6. In conformance with the Otay Ranch GDP and the Chula Vista Growth Management Plan, a Water Conservation Plan is provided with this SPA Plan as Appendix G - Water Conservation Plan. 7. Irrigation of open space areas adjacent to the MSCP shall be carefully designed to prevent recycled water from draining into and impacting the MSCP open space area. 8.2.4 Landscaping Water Conservation Ordinance 1. The Water Conservation Plan for Otay Ranch Village 9(Appendix G) is addressed in the December 2010 study, prepared by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. 2. The Village 9 project will promote water conservation through the use of low water use plumbing fixtures and the use of recycled water for the irrigation of parks, open space slopes, schools, parkway landscaping, and the common areas of multi-family residential and commercial sites. 3. In response to the new State Water Conservation in Landscaping Act,the City of Chula Vista adopted a New Model Water Ordinance, CVMC Section 20.12,which went into effect on January 1, 2010. This ordinance calls for greater efforts at water conservation and more efficient use of water in landscaping. The requirements of this ordinance shall be implemented into the design of Village 9. 8-4 Draft Public Utilities &Services Future Fa5tern urtzar,center w C rowP 5q_ 0 y 8-1 5- 1 rp1 �QRa - � lUC1 A rUC1 ■ a •� .� l uc F •,� WQ Temporary (U0 H-2 Pressure H_1 Nc) Reduo n9 euc) 5 Legend rPl Station TOM (U) Existing 927 Zone Water a (UN) m (UN) r J 1 K-2 RIP Saar Proposed 927 Zone Water �«m�N) rCPPI (rc1 rrcl --- P k srtt 95MfT g move Proposed 680 Zone Water e M N 0-1 0-2 +� (rc) rrc1 rra rrcl Potential Recycled Water Use (i . s VV.

Sewer service and facilities are addressed in the December 2010 Final Overview of Sewer Service prepared by Dexter Wilson Engineering, Inc. Sewer service to the project site is provided by the City of Chula Vista. Chula Vista operates and maintains its own sanitary sewer collection system that connects to the City of San Diego's Metropolitan Sewer System. 2. The City of Chula Vista's Subdivision Manual establishes sewage generation factors based on population multipliers used to project sewage flows. The average daily flow into the Salt Creek/ Otay River basin from the SPA is estimated to be 1.09 mgd. All of Village 9 can be served by constructing 8-inch through 15-inch gravity sewer lines to convey flow south to a single point of connection with the Salt Creek Interceptor. 3. Since the EUC will not convey flows through Village 9, on-site facilities have been sized to serve the needs of the project only. A sewer stub has been planned to accommodate flows from the future university. Once these flows, if any, have been determined, the impact on the Village 9 system will be evaluated. The project will be required to pay development impact fees as connections are made that convey flows to the Salt Creek Interceptor. 4. Sewer facilities required to serve the SPA will be constructed in phases. The phasing and financing requirements are addressed in the PFFP and/or subdivision map conditions to assure timely provision of required facilities. Sewer facilities are illustrated on Exhibit 8.3 - Conceptual Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. 8-6 Draft Public Utilities &Services A Future fa5tem Urban Center ti 8 1 8-2 C,lP1 wvr 5q.

Key elements of the Drainage Plan are as follows: 1. Existing runoff from the project site drains in a southerly direction to the adjacent Otay River. Development of the Village 9 site will not alter the existing tributary watershed of the aforementioned Otay River. 2. Urban runoff from the proposed Village 9 site and a small portion of the Eastern Urban Center development located to the north of the Village 9 site will be conveyed via a storm drain system which conveys flow directly to the Otay River. 3. To ensure that no erosion is caused within the existing finger canyons located within the Village 9 project site, the storm drain system as illustrated in Exhibit 8.4- Storm Drainage Master Plan will convey storm water directly to the receiving Otay River. 4. The proposed storm drain outlet location will incorporate full energy dissipation measures to ensure that the potential for erosion conditions is fully mitigated. 5. Due to the impacts of Savage Dam and Lower Otay Reservoir, the Otay River below the dam is exempt from hydromodification according to the San Diego Reservoir Quality Control; Hydromodification Management Plan. 6. Due to the impacts of the Savage Dam and Lower Otay Reservoir on 60% of the watershed, an increase in the peak 100-year event flows will not have a negative impact on the Otay River Watershed Agreement Technical Report. 8.4.2 Urban Runoff Development of the SPA will implement all necessary requirements for water quality as specified by state and local agencies. All development will meet the requirements of the City's Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP), the Jurisdictional Urban Runoff Management Plan (JURMP), and the Storm Water Management and Discharge Ordinance (as specified in the City of Chula Vista Development and Redevelopment Storm Water Management Standards/Requirements Manual). At this time, the proposed Village 9 site development includes the construction of roadways, infrastructure (including storm drain and utilities), and the mass grading of pads for future development. Of these improvements, only the construction of paved roadways and sidewalks will create increased urban runoff. 8-8 Draft Public Utilities &Services ` Future Pastern Urban Center - C Town A, q PC)..

Exhibit 8.4- Conceptual Storm Drain Master Plan December 2013 8-9 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Therefore, water quality treatment will be necessary only for these improvements as currently proposed. Additional water quality measures will be required in the future as the mass graded pads are developed; such measures will meet all state and local agency standards for the treatment of urban runoff at that time. Bio-retention based BMPs (Best Management Practices) are proposed within the Village 9 SPA to treat urban runoff pollutants generated via the proposed roadways and sidewalks. To ensure that all runoff contained within the storm drain systems are treated prior to entering the storm drains, these BMPs will be located throughout the site at the proposed storm drain inlet locations. Urban runoff will be treated in conformance with the Village 9 Water Quality Technical Report. Permeable pavement/pavers are proposed within the parking areas of the other backbone roadways to address water quality. The residential roadways will route run-off through the landscaping located in the adjacent parkways. Bio-retention facilities located in the front of single family residential lots shall be dedicated as an easement to the City to allow access and conduct inspections and to restrict property owners from changing the geometry and landscaping of these BMPs. Low Impact Development(LID) practices will also be incorporated within the roadway and sidewalk design in accordance with state and local requirements to ensure that, to the maximum extent practicable(MEP), requirements are met for water quality with the Village 9 SPA. 8.5 DRY UTILITIES Dry utilities will also be extended underground into the SPA primarily in streets and other public easements. Telephone, cable television, and internet service is provided by several companies including Cox Communications, Time Warner, and AT&T. Gas and electric service is provided by San Diego Gas and Electric, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy. Continued focus on the Energy Strategy and Action Plan, which addresses demand side management, energy efficient and renewable energy outreach programs for businesses and residents, energy acquisition, power generation, and distributed energy resource and legislative actions, and continuing implementation of the COZ Reduction Plan will lessen the impacts from energy. 8.6 DEVELOPMENT PHASING Development of the SPA will be completed in the multiple phases to ensure construction of necessary infrastructure and amenities for each phase as the project progresses. Exhibit 8.5- Conceptual Phasing Plan reflects anticipated market demand for a variety of housing types and commercial uses. The Conceptual Phasing Plan is non-sequential. This recognizes that sequential phasing is frequently inaccurate due to unforeseen market changes or regulatory constraints; therefore, this SPA and the associated Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) permits non-sequential phasing by imposing specific facilities requirements, per the PFFP, for each phase to ensure that the SPA is adequately served and City threshold standards are met. Public parks and schools shall be phased as needed. 8-10 Draft Public Utilities &Services Plan.Area MF Units SF Units C'mI Sq.Ft(K) Future Eastern Urban Center Orange G 0 0 0 �W G down 5q.

The PFFP implements the City of Chula Vista Growth Management Program and Ordinance. The intent of the document is to ensure that the phased development of the project is consistent with the overall goals and policies of the City's General Plan, Growth Management Program, and the Otay Ranch GDP. The proposed phasing and actual construction timing of the SPA may be modified subject to compliance with provisions of the PFFP(See Appendix A). 8.7 PUBLIC SCHOOLS This section serves as the SPA's School Master Plan, as required by The Otay Ranch GDP. The size and number of school facilities is determined by applying the student generation rates for mixed use, multi-family, and single family dwelling units, as shown in Table 8.1 - School Obligations. Elementary school generation rates were negotiated with the Chula Vista Elementary School District. High school and middle school student generation rates were negotiated with Sweetwater Union High School District: Table 8.1 - School Obligations Elementary School Middle School High School Use(Zone) Units Rate Students Rate Students IL Rate Students Mixed Use 31734 x 0.2091 781 x 0.0810 302 x 0.1171 437 (UC,TC,UN,NC) Multi-Family/Clustered 161 x 0.4114 66 x 0.0936 15 x 0.1939 31 Single Family(NG) Single Family(NC) 105 x 0.4114 43 x 0.0936 10 x 0.1939 20 Total 4,000 890 327 488 Based on the number of units projected by this SPA Plan and the negotiated generation rates provided by the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District, schools will need to provide educational services for approximately 890 new elementary school students, 327 new middle school students, and 488 new high school students. This section provides a brief description of how these students will be accommodated. The PFFP provides additional information regarding the phasing and funding of educational facilities proposed within Village 9. 8-12 Draft Public Utilities & Services 8.7.1 Elementary Schools To fulfill the educational need of new elementary school students within Village 9, two elementary school sites have been reserved. Both of these sites may be developed as an elementary school if selected by the school district. Planning Area W on the Site Utilization Plan consists of 11.9 acres of land located in the NC Zone. Planning Area G, consist of 7.9 acres of land located in the UN Zone. Each site is large enough to accommodate approximately 750 students. Both school sites will be reserved for acquisition by the school district as described in the PFFP. Construction timing of the school and selection of the school site will be determined by the school district. Until such time that the school is completed, students residing within Village 9 will attend schools in neighboring villages as determined by the school district. If the school district decides not to pursue one or both of the sites, the site(s) not selected by the school district will revert to mixed use pursuant to Section 9.3.2.13 and an alternative site will be identified, which may require a revision to the SPA and/or a SPA Amendment. 8.7.2 Middle Schools and High Schools Middle School students residing in Village 9 will likely attend one of the planned middle schools located in Village 11 or Village 8 West. High school students residing in Village 9 would currently be located within the attendance area of Olympian High School located in Village 7. Enrollment at this school is expected to exceed capacity before Village 9 is constructed. The School District has planned another high school at the intersection of Eastlake Parkways and Hunte Parkway in Village 11. 8.7.3 Continuing Education Provisions for continuing education are not required by the Otay Ranch GDP; however, Village 9 is located approximately 3 miles from Southwest College and is immediately adjacent to the University/RTP. In addition, the CPF sites designated as Planning Areas J and X provide opportunities for educational facilities, which could include on-going education. December 2013 8-13 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 8.8 CHILD CARE FACILITIES The SPA plan provides a variety of opportunities for child care services. These facilities can be divided into two main categories: Family day care homes and facility based child care. 8.8.1 Family Day Care Homes Family day care homes are home based child care services provided within private residences. The SPA land use regulations recognize two types of home-based child care facilities. Small family day care homes (SFDCH) that serve up to 6 children and large family day care homes (LFDCH) serving 7-12 children. Both types of facilities are permitted or conditionally permitted within residential, mixed-use, and CPF sites in Village 9. Please refer to Chapter 3, Development Code, to determine which zones permit these types of uses. All family day care homes are also subject to the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 12, Chapter 3, Section 102417 and all other state and local regulations. 8.8.2 Facility-Based Child Care Facility based childcare refers to child care services provided by non-profit, governmental, religious, community, educational, or commercial facilities. These facilities are often provided as an accessory land use but may also be the primary land use. Locating child care services near other compatible land uses is consistent with efficient land use planning and the neo-traditional principles of Otay Ranch. A conditional use permit may be required depending upon the land use designation of the property and the size of the facility. Please refer to Chapter 3, Development Code, to determine which zones require a conditional use permit for these types of facilities. The State of California also regulates the licensing, application procedures, administrative actions, enforcement provisions, continuing requirements, and physical environment of these facilities. All facility-based child care facilities are also subject to these and all other applicable state and local regulations. 8-14 Draft Public Utilities & Services 8.9 POLICE, FIRE, AND EMERGENCY SERVICES Life safety services are one of the most important services needed to support the community. Adequate facilities, personnel, and response times ensure the long-term health and well being of the community. The following section describes how these services will be provided for in Village 9. 8.9.1 Police Protection The Chula Vista Police Department(CVPD)will provide law enforcement services to Village 9. The CVPD currently provides police service to the project area from its existing police facility in downtown Chula Vista. Maintaining the current rate of 1.07 sworn police officers per 1000 population will require adding approximately 12 sworn officers to support the projected population in Village 9. Based on current policy, no police substations are required in Village 9; however, they are permitted in the NC, UN, TC, and UC Zones. All future development within Village 9 shall comply with applicable Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)and Chula Vista Police Department Standards. 8.9.2 Fire Protection Village 9 will be served by the City of Chula Vista Fire Department. The closest existing fire stations to Village 9 are Fire Station 7, located at 1640 Santa Venetia Road; Fire Station 6, located at 605 Mt. Miguel Road; and Fire Station 8, located at 1180 Woods Drive.The EUC, located northeast of Village 9, includes a proposed fire station. Additional fire equipment, staff, and facilities required to serve the increased population proposed by the SPA Plan are identified in the PFFP. Although no fire station sites are identified on the Site Utilization Plan, fire stations are a permitted use in the NE, NG, NC, UN, TC, and UC Zones. Appendix F- Fire Protection Plan and Appendix D - Preserve Edge Plan have also been prepared in conjunction with this SPA Plan to identify fire prevention measures such as fuel modification zones, and architectural controls. All subsequent development applications shall be subject to these plans and the review and approval of the Fire Department. 8.9.3 Emergency Medical Services Currently, American Medical Response(AMR) provides contract emergency medical services for the City of Chula Vista, National City, and Imperial Beach. There are 5 American Medical Response South County paramedic units: 2 allocated in Chula Vista, 2 in National City, and 1 in Imperial Beach. Village 9 and the surrounding area will be served through this contract arrangement by the City of Chula Vista. December 2013 8-15 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 8.9.4 Emergency Disaster Plan The GDP requires all SPA plans to provide an "Emergency Disaster Plan" that addresses the various hazards that have the potential for disrupting communities, causing damage, and creating casualties within the area. Possible natural disasters include earthquakes, floods, fires, landslides, and tropical storms. There is also the threat of man-made incidents such as war, nuclear disasters, hazardous materials spills, major transportation accidents, crime,fuel shortages, terrorism, or civil disorder. The Village 9 SPA addresses these disaster situations by implementing the following services already available in the area: 1. San Diego County Emergency Plan: This comprehensive emergency management system provides for a planned response to disaster situations associated with natural disasters, technological incidents, and nuclear defense operations. The plan includes operational concepts relating to various emergency situations, identifies components of the Emergency Management Organization, and describes the overall responsibilities for protecting life and property and assuring the overall well-being of the population. The plan also identifies the sources of outside support that might be provided (through mutual aid and specific statutory authorities) by other jurisdictions, state and federal agencies, and the private sector. 2. Unified San Diego County Emergency Services Organization: Consists of San Diego County and the cities within the county. It was established in 1961 and provides for "preparing mutual plans for the preservation of life and property and making provisions for the execution of these plans in the event of a local emergency, state of emergency, and to provide for mutual assistance in the event of such emergencies." 3. California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement: As provided for in the California Emergency Services Act, this agreement was developed in 1950 and adopted by California's unincorporated cities and by all 58 counties. This statewide mutual aid system is designed to ensure that adequate resources, facilities, and other support is provided to jurisdictions whenever their own resources prove to be inadequate to cope with a given situation. San Diego County is located in Mutual Aide Region 6 of the State system. 4. Unified County Emergency Services Organization: The City of Chula Vista has comprehensive agreements with the Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Forestry, California Conservation Corps, Urban Search and Rescue Corps, San Diego County Fire Mutual Aid, and other agencies in conjunction with the California Disaster and Civil Defense Master Mutual Aid Agreement.Village 9 is incorporated into Chula Vista's existing emergency disaster programs, including all fire and emergency services and mutual aid agreements. 5. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program: The City of Chula Vista provides a CERT program that offers training to citizens to teach them how to effectively and efficiently respond to emergency situations without placing themselves or others in unnecessary danger. CERT training includes lessons on managing utilities, putting out small fires, providing basic emergency medical aid, searching and rescuing victims safely, effectively organizing volunteers, and collecting disaster information to support first responders. 8-16 Draft Public Utilities & Services 8.10 LIBRARY SERVICES The City Library Master Plan identifies library services, which are provided by the City of Chula Vista. The plan establishes a standard of 500 square feet of adequately equipped and staffed library facilities per 1,000 residents. Based on the projected population, Village 9 generates a demand for 5,465 square feet of additional library facilities within the City. This demand will be satisfied by participation in the City's Public Facilities Development Impact Program as identified in the PFFP. 8.11 CIVIC FACILITIES The City of Chula Vista Civic Center serves the civic needs of the community. The Civic Center was recently expanded and currently supports existing development within the City of Chula Vista. As the City continues to grow, additional expansion of these facilities may be required to accommodate staff. Therefore, the Village 9 SPA is subject to the City's Development Impact Fee(DIF) Program, which may be used for expansion of the Civic Center and construction of other civic facilities in the future. 8.12 ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITIES Animal health and regulatory services will be provided by the City of Chula Vista. There are currently no impact fees imposed to finance animal control facilities. 8.13 INTEGRATED SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Solid waste management services for the City of Chula Vista are provided by Allied Waste Management. Solid waste is collected curb-side once a week and transported to the Otay Landfill in the City of Chula Vista. Otay landfill currently has a projected life span of 20 years. Allied Waste Management also provides a comprehensive recycling program with the City of Chula Vista for residential, commercial, and industrial generators. This program includes the following: 1. Curbside, commingled recycling of newspapers, plastics, aluminum, glass, cardboard, and metals. 2. Curbside collection of green vegetation yard wastes that are recycled into mulch for redistribution. Residents can dispose of household toxics and E-waste at the South Bay Regional Household Hazardous Waste Collection facility, located at 1800 Maxwell Road. The State of California has mandated the at least 50% of the solid waste generated by a City or County be diverted from landfills. Additionally, the State has set per capita disposal rates of 5.3 pounds per person per day for the City of Chula Vista. To maintain these targets the following programs must be implemented per December 2013 8-17 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Chula Vista Municipal Code Sections 8.23 Solid Waste and Recycling Contract or Franchise; 8.24 Solid Waste and Litter; 8.25 Recycling and 19.58.340 Trash Enclosures: 1. All new construction and demolition projects in the City are required to divert from landfill disposal 100 percent of inert waste, to include asphalt, concrete, bricks, tile, trees, stumps, rocks, and associated vegetation and soils resulting from land clearing, and not less than 50 percent of the remaining waste generated, via reuse or recycling, unless a partial or full diversion exemption has been granted pursuant to CVMC 8.25.095, in which case the diversion requirement shall be the maximum feasible diversion rate established by the Waste Management Report Compliance Official for the project(CVMC 8.25.020(06)). Contractors will be required to put up a performance deposit and prepare a Waste Management Report Form to ensure that all materials are responsibly handled. Upon verification that the diversion goals have been met the performance deposit will be refunded (CVMC 8.25.095). 2. The City of Chula Vista's Recycling and Solid Waste Planning Manual, adopted by City Council, provides information for adequate space allocated to recycling and solid waste within individual projects, based upon the type of project and collection service needed. Allied Waste Services/ Republic Services is the City of Chula Vista contracted service provider for all commercial, industrial, and residential services within the city limits. 3. Plans are subject to approval by the City Manager or designee, who is the Environmental Services Program Manager in the Public Works Department. 4. Additionally, the City of Chula Vista encourages the use of compost materials to be incorporated into the soil of all new construction projects to improve soil health, water retention, less water run off, and filtration of water run-off prior to entering storm drains and creeks on the way to San Diego Bay. The yard trimmings collected in Chula Vista are composted at the Otay Landfill and may be available for purchase. 8.14 REGIONAL FACILITIES The Otay Ranch General Development Plan requires all new development within Otay Ranch to meet the demands for regional services and facilities by participating in a regional impact fee program (if such a program is implemented)and/or by reserving land or facilities for regional service programs. Village 9 will contribute an equitable financial share to the following services for Otay Ranch in accordance with the PFFP: 1. Arts and Cultural Facilities 2. Cemeteries 3. Health and Medical Facilities 4. Community and Regional Purpose Facilities 5. Social and Senior Services 6. Correctional Facilities 7. Justice Facilities. 8-18 Draft y _. r _ ... • Chapter 9 1 Pr ir J.

A decision rendered by the Zoning Administrator concerning said ambiguity may be appealed in accordance with the appeal procedure set forth in the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.14.100. For ambiguities that arise from applications requiring a public hearing by a decision making body other than the Zoning Administrator, the determination of the Zoning Administrator shall be forwarded to the appropriate decision making body as a recommendation. 9.2.3 Definition of Terms For the purposes of this SPA document, certain words, phrases, and terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned to them by Appendix A- Glossary. Words, phrases, and terms not defined in Appendix I - Glossary shall be defined by Chula Vista Municipal Code.. 9.3 REVIEW PROCESS This section includes the distinct administrative processes and procedures for reviewing the design and development of new buildings and uses within the Village 9 SPA Additional permits may be required and shall be subject to and processed in accordance with the Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 9.3.1 9.3.1 Preliminary Review The Master Developer shall participate in a preliminary design review process prior to application submittal to the City until final build out has been achieved. The preliminary review by the Master Developer is for recommendation only. Each application to the City shall be accompanied by this recommendation from the Master Developer to City staff for approval, modification, or denial of the proposed project. This process is intended to add an extra level of review and compliance with previously adopted plans. In addition, it is strongly encouraged that project applicants request a pre-application meeting with planning staff to review the scope of the project and the required applications and submittal materials. The pre- application meeting will be subject to the City of Chula Vista fee schedule. December 2013 9-3 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 9.3.2 Level and Scope of Reviews A. Design Review 1. Design review is intended to provide sufficient detail in site planning, architectural design, and landscape architectural design to enable a specific development project design to be reviewed with respect to compliance with the Village 9 SPA Plan, the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan (See Section 9.3.6), and applicable Master Precise Plans (See Section 9.3.7). Typically, Design Review will be performed on a parcel but may also include a group of buildings so long as a conceptual design of the entire parcel is provided. Because of the importance of design context and continuity of streetscapes, Design Review submittals shall be required to address the entire Planning Area as shown on the Site Utilization Plan on which the proposed project is located at a conceptual level. This conceptual planning provides assurance that options for the logical build-out can occur, but is not specifically adopted as a constraint on other alternatives that may be considered in the future, so long as they are in substantial conformance with the Design Review Approval. Any projects found not to be in substantial conformance by the Zoning Administrator may apply for an amendment to the previous Design Review approval with the Planning Commission. 2. Another alternative is the consideration of phased intensification. A building complex may intensify over time as a planned intensification. This phasing may be approved with the initial Design Review application at the option of the applicant if the Design Review application is for a partial build-out of a planning area in compliance with the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan (See Section 9.3.6), and applicable Master Precise Plans(See Section 9.3.7). 3. The scope of the Design Review shall be limited to compliance with the provisions of this Code and related SPA documents as specifically provided for in Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.14.582. Village 9 is intended to be a vibrant urban environment with a wide variety of uses, activities, and urban design features that will serve as a transition from the EUC and proposed University/RTP to promote a pedestrian-friendly 24-hour living environment with proximity to shopping, entertainment, transit, and employment opportunities. In such an environment, the overriding design goals are high quality design and excellent functionality. This Form-based Code provides the basis for future development. Adherence to any specific architectural style or any set of preconceived design solutions beyond what is specific in the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan (See Section 9.3.6), and applicable Master Precise Plans (See Section 9.3.7) is neither required nor desired . The Design Review process requires a determination that a project is in compliance with the Village 9 SPA Plan, the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan (See Section 9.3.6), and applicable Master Precise Plans (See Section 9.3.7). 9-4 Draft Implementation &Administration 4. Because of the wide range of appropriate design options within Village 9, any Design Review submittal that meets the prescriptive standards of the Village 9 SPA, the Village 9 Landscape Master Plan (See Section 9.3.6), and applicable Master Precise Plans(See Section 9.3.7)shall be deemed to be in conformance with the SPA unless evidence is presented to refute the conclusion. Any and all design revisions or conditions applied to a proposed project by the Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or other reviewing and approving body, will only be made in order to meet the Village 9 SPA design objectives. Any determination made by the appropriate decision making body that the proposed decision is in conflict with the Village 9 SPA Plan shall clearly identify the specific objective, policy or design statement that is found to conflict with said design. The fact that a proposed design is not illustrated in the Village 9 SPA Plan is not evidence of a conflict. The Village 9 SPA Plan utilizes multiple examples of Building Types to convey a sense of design character specifically to avoid a requirement for a specific design. Substantial evidence of conflict requires that the design proposal be inconsistent with the design character conveyed by the multiple examples. 5. Major Design Review is for projects that include more than 20,000 square feet(more than 30,000 square feet in the UC Zone) of non-residential building area and multi-family residential projects consisting of more than 10 dwelling units (more than 200 dwelling units in the UC Zone). Major Design Review requires approval by the Planning Commission. 6. Minor Design Review is for projects that include 20,000 square feet or less (30,000 square or less in the UC Zone)of non-residential building area and residential projects consisting of 10 or fewer dwelling units(200 or fewer dwelling units in the UC Zone). Minor Design Review requires approval by the Zoning Administrator. December 2013 9-5 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA B. Intensity Transfer : 1. Intensity Transfer is an administrative process, conducted by the Zoning Administrator to ensure that Village 9 SPA does not exceed the maximum level of intensity. 2. The Site Utilization Summary is intended to provide the general design intent of the Village 9 SPA; however this SPA recognizes the need for flexibility in planning to accommodate future development constraints and market demands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a proposed project is exactly consistent with the target intensity shown for that planning area on the Site Utilization Plan, an intensity transfer is required. Any transfer of intensity between planning areas within the same land use is permitted provided said transfer is consistent with the SPA Plan, the circulation system, and the technical studies of the associated EIR as related to infrastructure; the overall target intensity of 4,000 residential units and 1,500,000 square feet of non-residential floor area is not exceeded; and a combined total of 500,000 square feet(or 33%)of the non-residential floor area is maintained in the remaining planning areas found in that land use. Any other type of transfer shall require a SPA Amendment. The Zoning Administrator shall approve or deny the proposed intensity transfer subject to the following findings and conditions: a. The resulting density of both the granting and receiving planning areas shall be consistent with the density ranges specified for each area. b. The overall SPA intensities shall not be exceeded. c. The Neighborhood Builder has received a letter of recommendation for approval, modification, or denial of the intensity transfer from the Master Developer. d. The planned identity of Village 9 SPA is preserved including the creation of pedestrian friendly and transit oriented development e. The Neighborhood Builder has provided supporting technical studies, if necessary, to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator, that substantiate adequate infrastructure exists to support the intensity transfer. f. Public facilities and infrastructure including schools and parks shall be provided based on the final number of units and the applicant shall agree to pay any additional fees resulting from said transfer. Preserve conveyance obligation shall be based upon the final map development area. g. The overall target intensity of 4,000 residential units and 1,500,000 square feet of non- residential floor area is not exceeded; and a combined total of 100,000 square feet of retail commercial is maintained within Village 9. 9-6 Draft Implementation &Administration 3. If a shift of Community Purpose Facility(CPF) sites or square footage/acreage between planning areas occurs, a SPA Amendment shall be required. The total square footage/acreage for Community Purpose Facility sites shall meet the Village 9 SPA Community Purpose Facility obligation. 4. Transfers of intensity to unused school sites if the site is not accepted by the school district shall be as follows: a. Parcel G shall revert to "Mixed Use(MU)- 10-45 du/ac" site utilization. b. Parcel W shall revert to "Mixed Use(MU)- 10-27 du/ac" site utilization. 5. Transfers between Villages. Unused intensity may be transferred between Villages as permitted by City Council pursuant to the expressed terms set forth by agreement, ordinance, or such other manner approved by City Council. 6. No transfer shall exceed the maximum number of units shown on an approved Tentative Map without a revised Tentative Map approved by the City Council. C. Site Plan and Architectural Review Site Plan and Architectural Review shall be completed pursuant to the requirements and procedures set forth in Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.14.420-480.

This chapter provides a re-statement of the GDP goals and objectives followed by an explanation of how they are implemented by the Village 9 SPA Plan. 10.2 LAND USE Goal: Develop comprehensive, well-integrated and balanced land uses that are compatible with the surroundings. Objective: Provide a well-integrated land use pattern which promotes a balance of both housing and employment opportunities, while enhancing the unique environmental and visual qualities of the Otay Ranch. Objective: Provide a wide range of residential housing opportunities, from rural and estate homes to high- density multi-family projects and affordable housing. Provide a balanced and diverse residential land use pattern for the Otay Valley Parcel which promotes a blend of multi-family and single-family housing styles and densities, integrated and compatible with other land uses in the area. Objective: Provide development patterns complementary to the adopted plans and existing development of the adjacent communities. December 2013 10-1 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Implementation: The land use plan for Village 9 supports these GDP goals and objectives by providing a diverse range of housing and employment opportunities. The plan adheres to the GDP specific directives for Villages 9 that creates an intensified village (composed of mixed-use, commercial, community purpose, elementary school, neighborhood park, town square, and residential land uses) and residential neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing styles and densities. The organization of the land uses within Village 9 meets the objectives of integration and compatibility of land uses within villages and with adjacent communities. Housing and employment are combined as 'mixed uses"in Village 9. Village 9 proposes compatible and integrated uses and circulation south of the present EUC designation. The Town Center is designed to engage the University/RTP with compatible land use and circulation plans for Village 9. The Villages 9 plan support the objective of enhancing the unique en vironmental and visual qualities of Otay Ranch. The Village 9 SPA Plan generally conforms to the natural topography of the site and maintains views towards open space and distant mountains. Goal: Environmentally sensitive development should preserve and protect significant resources and large open space areas. Objective: Provide land use arrangements which preserve significant natural resource areas, significant landforms and sensitive habitat. Implementation: These goals and objectives will be met through preservation of open space areas in the southerly portions of Village 9. Village 9 is sited within land area designated for development that does not contain significant natural resources. Transect planning has been applied to the site to create a gradual transition toward lower densities in areas adjacent to the Otay River Valley and MSCP Preserve. Proposed development adjacent to these areas consists of compatible uses with appropriate design, landscaping, drainage, and other development standards sensitive to the environment furthermore,aspartof the developmentprocess, OtayiandCompanyhas contributed significant land dedications for protection of the adjacent environmentally sensitive land in the MSCP Preserve. 10-2 Draft GDP Compliance Goal: Reduce reliance on the automobile and promote alternative modes of transportation. Objective: Develop villages and town centers which integrate residential and commercial uses with a mobility system that accommodates alternative modes of transportation, including pedestrian, bicycle, low- speed/neighborhood electric vehicle, bus, rapid transit, and other modes of transportation. Objective: Develop residential land uses which encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation through the provision of bus and rapid transit right-of-way,and the inclusion of a bicycle and pedestrian network. Objective: Commercial uses should be sized to meet the needs of the immediate and adjacent villages and town centers. Village and town center commercial land uses preempt large regional commercial opportunities within villages and town centers and relegate them to the EUC or freeway commercial areas. Objective: Develop the Eastern Urban Center to promote alternative modes of transportation. Specifically, through the provision of light rail right-of-way and the incorporation of multi-model access from residential neighborhoods and villages. Implementation: Land uses within Village 9 are designed to provide for the daily needs of the residents by including uses such as mixed use, community purpose facility,park, and school uses. The provision for a land use mix that minimizes the need for automobile travel coupled with the pedestrian-oriented design of the village are two ways the plan meets the GDP goals and objectives. Village 9 provides for future dedicated transit lanes along Otay Valley Road and Street B as well as portions of Main Street. Two stops are planned, one for each direction of travel, at Street B and Campus Boulevard four potential additional stops have been identified at Street and Main Street and at Street and Otay Valley Road. December 2013 10-3 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA Goal: Promote Village and Town Center land uses which offer a sense of place to residents and promotes social interaction Objective: Organize Otay Ranch into villages and town centers,each having its own identity and sense of place. Objective: The design of the Otay Ranch should promote variety and diversity at the village or town center scale,while providing a sense of continuity through the use of unifying design elements. Objective: Promote a diverse range of activities and services to encourage a mixture of day/night and weekday/ weekend uses. Implementation: Village 9 meets these goals and objectives by providing an intensified village. Land uses within the village include commercial/mixed use, community purpose facilities, elementary school, park, and a variety of residential housing types. The land uses, coupled with a set of design guidelines that control the quality and appearance of buildings and landscaping create the Village identity and true sense of place. Community is created as people come to live, work, shop, and play in the village. The village will incorporate ranch-wide design elements such as signage, the Village Path, and landscaping to connect it with the other villages. Goal: Diversify the economic base within Otay Ranch. Objective: Create an economic base that will ensure there is adequate public revenue to provide public services. Objective: Create an Eastern Urban Center within the Otay Valley Parcel and encourage the development of a retail base for the planning area, but not to the detriment of existing regional and local commercial centers. Objective: Create a Regional Technology Park(RTP)and other business parks that offer employment opportunities for area residents which complements, rather than substitutes for industrial development on the Otay Mesa. Implementation: The Village 9 site plan contributes to the economic base with a broad range of neighborhood- serving businesses. Village 9's Town Center and applicable portions of the EUC development will provide a significant employment center for the area. The EUC and Town Center will provide the opportunity for large employers to locate jobs within walking distance of a diverse mix of housing, retail and transit. Mixed-use development provides clear diversification of non-residential uses, in an exciting urban setting. 10-4 Draft GDP Compliance Goal: Promote synergistic uses between the villages and town centers of the Otay Ranch to provide a balance of activities, services and facilities. Objective: Develop individual villages and town centers to complement surrounding villages/town centers. Objective: Select villages/town centers to provide activities and uses which draw from surrounding villages/ town centers. Uses serving more than one village, such as a cinema complex, should be located in a village core or town center that has convenient access to adjacent villages/town centers. Implementation Village 9 will provide a balance of activities, services, and facilities within the UC and TC zones. These land uses pro vide commercial and mixed uses,such as retail,restaurants, etc., which will serve surrounding villages, the future University, and the RTP. Goal: Organize land uses based upon a village/town center concept to produce a cohesive, pedestrian friendly community, encourage non-vehicular trips, and foster interaction amongst residents. Implementation: Village 9 incorporates the village concept in an intensified land use pattern. All neighborhoods of Village 9 are connected byan extensive trail and path waysystem. These trails and path ways reinforce a pedestrian friendly concept as well as promote the use of alternative modes of transportation. By reducing the need for the automobile, residents will have opportunities to interact with their neighbors and others as they walk or ride to their destinations. The location of medium and high- density residential, elementary school, shopping, work, entertainment, and neighborhood park uses near the Town Center will also encourage non-vehicular trips. December 2013 10-5 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 10.3 MOBILITY (GDP SECTION 11.2.8.1) Goal: Provide a safe and efficient transportation system within Otay Ranch with convenient linkages to regional transportation elements abutting the Otay Ranch. Objective: Ensure timely provision of adequate local circulation system capacity to respond to planned growth, maintaining acceptable levels of service(LOS). Objective: Plan and implement a circulation system such that the operational goal of Level of Service "C" for circulation element arterial and major roads and intersections can be achieved and maintained outside villages cores and town centers. Sections of Main Street and internal village streets/roads are not expected to meet this standard. Objective: Encourage other transportation modes through street/road design standards within the village,while accommodating the automobile. Design standards are not focused on achieving LOS standards or providing auto convenience. Objective: Provide an efficient circulation system that minimizes impacts on residential neighborhood and environmentally sensitive areas. Implementation: Streets surrounding and internal to Village 9 are designed in compliance with thegoals and objectives of the GDP. Street design and phasing strives to provide balanced, efficient, and appropriate levels ofservice forall modes of transportation. The Village circulation system provides for accommodation of public transportation. Internal streets will be designed to accommodate bicycles and a series of pedestrian paths are provided throughout the Village to provide altematives to automobile travel. Goal: Achieve a balanced transportation system which emphasizes alternatives to automobile use and is responsive to the needs of residents. Objective: Study, identify, and designate corridors, if appropriate, for transit facilities. Objective: Promote alternative forms of transportation, such as bicycle and low speed electric vehicle paths, riding and hiking trails, and pedestrian walkways as an integral part of the circulation system. Implementation: The land plan for Village 9 has been created to de-emphasize the automobile and adapt transit opportunities, with a balanced transportation system. Pedestrian circulation is a key design component. The Village 9 SPA has provided for future transit along Otay Valley Road, Street B, and a portion of Main Street. 10-6 Draft GDP Compliance 10.4 HOUSING (GDP SECTION 11.2.8.2.) 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. Implementation: The Village 9 land plan meets these goals and objectives of the regional share allocation of housing by providing 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. 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. Implementation: Village 9 contains a wide variety of housing types ranging in density from low-medium to high. The variety of housing types will accommodate families, singles, and those with special housing needs, including the handicapped and the elderly. The project is required to meet all State of California handicap accessibility requirements. fair housing practices will be employed in the sale, rental, and advertising of all units. In addition, an Affordable Housing Program has been prepared in conjunction with this SPA document. A minimum of 10%or all units within the SPA will be income qualified housing. See Appendix H- Affordable Housing Plan. December 2013 10-7 Otay Ranch Village 9 SPA 10.5 PARKS, RECREATION, OPEN SPACE (GDP SECTION 11.2.8.3) Goal: Provide diverse park and recreational opportunities within Otay Ranch which meet the recreational, conservation, preservation, cultural and aesthetic needs of project residents of all ages and physical abilities. Objective: Identify park, recreational and open space opportunities, where appropriate, to serve the South County region and San Diego County as a whole. Objective: Maximize conservation,joint uses and access and consider safety in the design of recreational facilities. Objective: Provide neighborhood and community park and recreational facilities to serve the recreational needs of local residents. Implementation: One neighborhood park and several urban and pedestrian parks provide residents of all ages and physical abilities with both active and passive recreational opportunities. In addition, common open space areas are required for all multi-family uses within the SPA. 10-8 Draft GDP Compliance 10.6 CAPITAL FACILITIES (GDP SECTION 11.2.8.4) Goal: Assure the efficient and timely provision of public services and facilities of developable areas of Otay Ranch concurrent with need. Objective: Ensure that the pace and pattern of residential, commercial and other non-residential development is coordinated with the provision of adequate public facilities and services. Objective: Permit development only through a process that phases construction with the provision of necessary infrastructure prior to or concurrent with need. Objective: Development projects shall be required to provide or fund their fair share of all public facilities needed by the development. Objective: "Enhanced Services" may be provided to specified geographic areas of the Otay Ranch. These are services that exceed the normal or standard level of services provided to the jurisdiction as a whole. Objective: The City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego shall enter into a Master Property Tax Agreement covering all annexations within an agreed-upon geographic area in Otay Ranch. That Agreement shall consider the distribution of property tax revenues, as well as the allocation of total project revenues between the City and the County in accordance with the following policies. Objective: As a general guideline,efforts should be made to keep the effective tax rate(ETR), including all property taxes and special assessments, not to exceed 2.00 percent of the assessed value of the property. Objective: Monitor the impacts of growth and development on critical facilities and services to ensure that necessary infrastructure is provided prior to or concurrent with need. Implementation: The Village 9 SPA meets these goals and objectives through development of a Public facilities finance Plan fPffP). The PffP ensures that developmentphases are served with infrastructure improvements on an as needed basis. The developer will participate in fair-share funding of facilities.
