PJOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1 . From facts presented to the Commission, the Conmiission finds that public necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice require the rezoning of 170.2 acres east of I-805, north of Telegraph Canyon Road to P-C, � subject to the following: PARKS AND OPEN SPACE a. Nei hborhood Parks: The present land use plan projects a need for approximate y 0- 2 neighborhood parks. Neighborhood parks should be provided at approximately one-half mile intervals in the low and medium density areas. High density areas would require parks at one-quarter mile intervals. Sites should be planned as f.ive-acre minimum sites in �- � conjunction with elementary.school grounds; up to ten acres is desirable - — ' for those parks not adjacent to schools. 1 . � b. �Cormnunit Pa�rks: The City of Chula Vista has three cormnunity parks un erd development which are either in or adjacent to this planning area. These include the Southwestern College Cormnunity Cultural Center, Rohr Park, and the Greg Rogers Park. These faciliti,es, together with the Wilderness Park and the Community Center shown on the Land Use Plan, should meet the requirements of the City of Chula Vista for service distribution on community parks. Because of topographic barriers, the Rohr Park is, however, less accessible and �it would be desirable to retain selected portions of the floor of the north leg of Rice Canyon as a supplement for cortonunity park development. c. Open Space (general ) : , While not all open space need be level and available for active recreation, some areas within the canyons may require grading, landscaping, and development for active use. Areas for retention of public or private open space are, but not limited to: Wilderness Park, Co�nunity Center, Equestrian Center; Community Club; San Diego Gas & Electric Company _ easements or rights-of-way, San Diego pipeline, various canyons and other public or private easements. Grading (cut and fill ) should not intrude into the open space_ areas indicated on the plan unless specifically approved by the Planning Comnission. d. Riding and Hiking Trails: Prior to the submission of the first development plans, a master plan of riding and hiking trails shall be submitted for Planning Cormnission approval . This requirement may be modified if plans properly consider adjacent areas . This plan should include any existing easements across the property. The overall grading and development plans � � for each phase of construction should include access and use of all open space, pedestrian and equestrian trails, and such development plans should � provide pedestrian or equestrian access to designated open space areas. In relation to park land and open space, some of the standards delineated above may be met in the development of private recreation areas for planned unit developments, etc. This determination is possible only with the development of neighborhood studies. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SCHOOLS a. Elementar Schools: The projected population for 'this community will generate a nee for twelve K-6 schools. Some of the proposed sites may require relocation as detailed plans are developed. b. Junior Hi h Schools: Two thirty-acre junior high school sites will be nee e . Pre iminary studies would place one each north and south of "H" Street. c. Senior Hi h Schools : At least one forty-eight acre high school site will e needed and shou d be located between "H" Street and Telegraph Canyon Road. District representatives indicate that, depending upon generating factor,s of the various types of dwelling units, this and adjacent develop- ment may cause the need for another site. d. Fire Stations: Two sites will be needed as shown on the plan revised by � the Planning staff. • e. �Libra�r : One branch library will be needed and should be provided within or adjacent to avshopping center. f. Police Facilit : The Police Department projects no need for branch aci ities to serve ,this corrmiunity. Development of surrounding areas may create the need for one in the vicinity of Southwestern College. s-- --- - - — . - . —. . _ _ .. . . . - . . . -- ' � Further details �at this time are not riecessary and will be studied as precise plans are developed. . The standards and conditions delineated �'� above are acceptable to the public authorities whose jurisdictions are \ involved. `, � \ 2 _ : . COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT � a. Nei hborhood Centers: Such centers may be needed and are sometimes desir- able if well esigned and maintained. The specific locations as shown on the plan are not approved and will be considered onl,y as detailed neighbor- hood plans are developed. b. Cormnunity Shopping Centers : The two centers proposed along Telegraph Canyon Road and Otay Lakes Road are well located and provide adequate facilities , for the type needed at these locations. • c. Regional Shopping Center: Ultimate population in this area along with other areas of development in �eastern Chula Vista will support a regional shopping center of this size. While the site should be acknowledged on the plan, precise zoning beyond fifty acres should not be made available until the growth trend is established in this area. Existing and proposed zoning along Interstate 805 is sufficient to serve the population of our planning area probably through 1990. If this Regional Center and that proposed at the Interchange of 54 and 805 are approved, a reevaluation of existing zoning elsewhere should be made. TRAFFIC CIRCULATION Based on studies conducted by the State Division of Highways, the County Engineer, and our own Engineering Division, some of the thoroughfares as proposed will not be suitable and adequate to carry the anticipated � traffic. Alternate routes (north-south, north of "H" Street) must be presented before approval of the plan by the City Council . Thoroughfares must be located in areas of least disruption to existing and proposed neighborhoods. � Special standards of development shall be utilized in the development of "H" Street, Telegraph Canyon Road and Otay Lakes Road. These standards shall relete to landscaping, design control of all signs and structures, grading, and retention of existing desirable natural features. 2. The f.indings:of.>fact'in+.support;of_saidsdetermination are as follows: a. The public facilities (parks, schools, etc. ) were planned by taking into consideration all of these individual ownerships. The land use plan approved by the City Council incorporates all facilities needed to serve these parcels when subdivided as well as the property owned by the Otay Land Company. b. Adoption of the P-C zone with the densities as shown is in substantial conformance to the General Plan. � c. This will constitute a totally planned community concept, and upon submission of any precise plans , the developer or owners will be required to show its affect upon surrounding. properties. d. When development plans are submitted for each property, dedication of '� - �rights-of-way for traiTs . (equestrian,, bicycle,..pedestrian) and�streets shall be required, based on the circulation system approved by the City Council . �� . 3 - -n . ' � 3. The Planning Cortonission recommends to the City Council that Ordinance No. 1342 establishing P-C zoning for the 3,140 acres owned by the Otay Land Company be amended to include the 170.2 acres mentioned above with the densities as shown on the attached plat. 4.
