INTRODUCTION
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.

BACKGROUND
Items 4b & 4c
Since the adoption of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) in 1993, the City of
Chula Vista has maintained a vision of locating a university within the Otay Ranch. This vision
is also reflected in the General Plan (GP). While the properties have been designated
"University" (with a secondary residential land use should the University not become a reality),
they have been held in private, rather than public, ownership. In 2001, progress in assembling the
land necessary to locate the University was made with the acquisition of approximately 140 acres
of developable land for university purposes. It was understood that additional acreage was
required to realize the land mass envisioned for the University by the GP and GDP. In 2007, the
City began negotiating with the landowners on a land plan that would be beneficial to the City,
and carry out the goals of the GP and GDP with the conveyance of land necessary for the future
development of a University and a Regional Technology Park if certain benefits were received
by the landowners (entitlements received within agreed upon timeframes).
On April 15, 2008 the City of Chula Vista entered into a Land Offer Agreement (LOA) with
OLC that would allow the City of Chula Vista to accept Irrevocable Offers of Dedication (IODs)
for 50 acres of developable University /Regional Technology Park land if certain entitlements are
approved within the agreed upon timeframes. As part of the agreement the City also received an
IOD for an additional 160 acres of mitigation land and one million dollars for University
recruitment and planning purposes was received upon execution of the LOA. A second one
million dollars for the same purpose will be received if such entitlements are approved by the
City.
It was originally envisioned in the LOA that all of the approvals (including the General Plan and
General Development Plan Amendments, Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans for Villages 8
West and 9, Environmental Impact Reports and tentative maps for both villages) would be heard
at one hearing, but due to the size and complexity of the project an amendment to the LOA was
approved in February 2013. The Amended LOA permitted the consideration of the General Plan
(GPA) and General Development Plan Amendments (GDPA) separately from the remainder of
the applications. The GPA and GDPA were approved by Council on February 26, 2013.
The proposal under consideration (Village 9 SPA and TM) would implement the GP and GDP
and would be the next step towards realizing the City's vision for a University in Eastern Chula
Vista pursuant to the LOA.
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 Planning Commission consideration of the Village 9 SPA and Tentative Map.

DISCUSSION
Locations 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 (LIPID) (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
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014
Page 4
conveniently located to provide access to the UPID and 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).
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.
Planning Commission
5 -14 -2014
Page 5
Items 4b & 4c
• 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
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.

Implementation of the GP and GDP policies requires an integrated planning approach that takes
into consideration all of the land use planning components designed to create a mixed -use,
pedestrian oriented community, as was envisioned when the GDP was adopted.
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014

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 Q.
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 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.
Planning Commission
5 -14 -2014
Page 8
D. Residential (Medium) Land Uses
Items 4b & 4c
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.
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
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014
Page 9
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 the Conventional
Homes in the south to the 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:
• consistent with the SPA Plan;
• 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
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014
Page 10
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 connect Main Street
(formerly Rock Mountain Road) from its current terminus at Olympian High School through the
site in an east -west direction, connecting Village 9 to Village 8 East to the west, and the
University and Village 11 to the east. The Otay Ranch GDP plans for, and the SPA Plan
implements, the 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 -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 and the eastern edge for the Town
Center will be defined by the Transit Boulevard where the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) transit 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
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014
Page 11
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 11 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 that will eventually connect all of the village cores
within all of the villages of Otay Ranch. In Village 9, the village pathway will traverse the site
through the Town Center along Campus Boulevard. It will enter the village from the University
to the east and bisect the 14 -acre Neighborhood Park before crossing the SR -125 via a 15 -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 west to east. 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 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 (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 P=ose Facilities
Items 4b & 4c
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 LIPID. 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
resubdivided 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).
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
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c
5 -14 -2014
Page 14
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 CONFLICTS:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Planning Commissioners 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 Planning Commission
member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in
this matter.
Planning Commission Items 4b & 4c

RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN
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 LIPID,
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.
CONCLUSION
The proposed land uses, development intensities and grading program directly implement the
provisions of the City's General Plan and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. The
proposed project provides all of the public facilities required by the Otay Ranch GDP. The
further development of the EUC and the development of a University Town Center along with
the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system further implement pedestrian- oriented policies in
conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan and the Otay Ranch
GDP.
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.
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.

Page 3
II. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council, in the exercise of their independent review and judgment, immediately
prior to this action, reviewed and certified FEIR -10 -04 and adopted the Findings of Fact,
Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program, which are attached to this Resolution as Exhibit "B ".
IIl. 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 Nine 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 Nine 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 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
environmental quality of the surrounding uses.
Resolution No.

IV. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
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 Otay
Ranch Village 9 Project (Project), is in conformance with the elements of the City's
General Plan, based on the following:
Land Use and Circulation
The Project is consistent with and implements the Otay Ranch Village 9 Sectional
Planning Area (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 Pland 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.
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.
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.
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 em�ent
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
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
Resolution No. 2013 -
Page 5
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 certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of
the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents
of the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources.
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.
