Meeting Date 6/3/86
ITEM TITLE: Report: PCM-86-24; Consideration of Sectional Planning Area
boundaries for the Rancho del Rey area of the El Rancho del
Rey Specific Plan - McMillin Development Company
Resolution Approving Sectional Planning Area
boundaries for Rancho del Rey
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Plannin�g)6!.z
REVIEWED BY: City Manager ,�-6-�y1� (4/5ths Vote: Yes No A )
On November 5, 1985, the City Council adopted the revised El Rancho del Rey
(ERDR) Specific Plan. The Specific Plan established certain criteria for
later dividing the 1,582 acre Corcoran Ranch SPA into planning sub-areas, the
boundaries of which were to be reviewed and approved prior to the preparation
and processing of sub-area plans. The new owners of the property now propose
to divide the 1,582 acres into four separate SPA's (collectively called the
Rancho del Rey area) but use the same boundary approval process noted above.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resonation establishing Sectional Planning
Area boundaries for El Rancho del Rey.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: On May 14, 1986, the Planning
Commission, by a vote of 6-0 with one absent, adopted a motion recommending
that Council approve PCM-86-24.
DISCUSSION:
The ERDR Specific Plan states that the following general considerations are
relevant in determining each sub-area, or, in this case, SPA boundary: extent
of actual construction proposed, infrastructure, community facilities,
circulation, continuity of community structure, and both public and private
economic considerations. From these general considerations, the plan outlines
several criteria which must be met in order to find that a boundary is
appropriate. These criteria are listed in Exhibit A attached hereto.
The boundary map and land use statistics for the proposed SPA's are contained
in Section II of the Sectional Planning Area Criteria Report. The following
is from Section III of the report which relates the ERDR Specific Plan
boundary criteria (Exhibit A) to the proposed SPA boundaries:
The first SPA represents a logical first increment of development as access is
taken from the two major roads in the area: Otay Lakes Road and East "H"
Street. The east and west scope of the SPA is appropriate because the sewer
service must be extended from the southwest while water service will be
extended from the east. This SPA directly relates to the development

occurring and completed along the two major roads and west of their
intersection. The extent of necessary infrastructure improvements will be
evaluated as a part of the SPA Plan process. However, the feasibility of the
full improvement of East "H" Street will be considered as a component of the
SPA.
The second SPA, located in the southern portion of the Specific Plan area, is
an in-fill project with existing development to the east and west.
Development of this SPA will provide two major links in the local circulation
system, completing East "J" Street as an east-west collector and the
construction of Paseo Ranchero between East "H" Street and Telegraph Canyon
Road. Sewer and water service in this SPA will be independent of that in SPA
I, with sewage proposed to flow south to Telegraph Canyon Road.
The facilities to serve SPAs III and IV will be extensions of the facilities
constructed to serve SPA I. For each SPA, an analysis to determine facility
needs and a plan for their timely provision will be included in the SPA
program.
Conceptual grading studies indicate a balance in cut and fill earth quantities
within each SPA. Grading plans for each will define the extent of grading
required. Minor grading will be allowed outside of a SPA boundary when
necessary to match grades with existing topography or to provide needed public
facilities.
A variety of land uses are proposed within each SPA. The first includes areas
in all residential density categories ranging from 0-2 du/ac to 12-20 du/ac
and the entire Employment Park site, with its special design requirements.
Three park sites and an elementary school site are also included. In
addition, a site for a YMCA facility has been located in the first SPA.
Further, the developer and City will investigate the suitability of SPA I to
include a library, fire station, or corporate yard site(s) . SPA II includes a
small park site and a junior high school site, while an elementary school site
is located adjacent to the boundary. SPA III also includes a neighborhood
park site.
The provision of the majority of public facility sites with the initial SPA
will assure that adequate facilities can be made available throughout the
development of the project.
The proposed boundaries have considered the private economic concerns of the
project sponsor including a sensitivity to front end costs and providing
marketable products. As each SPA Plan is processed, the scope of necessary
public facility improvements will be determined. A plan including a schedule
and financing mechanisms for the provision of these facilities will be
incorporated into the SPA Plan. This facilities plan, along with the
Development Agreement mandated by the Specific Plan, will assure that all
necessary facilities will be provided without creating an undue financial
burden on the City.

The proposed SPAs are also responsive to the major environmental issue:
sensitive plant species. Two species, the San Diego thornmint and the Otay
tarplant were identified for special consideration in the Specific Plan. The
Otay tarplant is found in the open space area adjacent to Otay Lakes Road and
the project access road in the northern portion of SPA I. Mitigation requires
avoiding the major populations of this plant. All such mitigation will occur
in SPA I.
The San Diego thornmint is located only in SPA III and is also to be protected
in a similar manner. Again all necessary measures will be incorporated in a
single SPA Plan.
CONCLUSION:
Although several appropriate boundary proposals could have been devised, the
proposal in question appears to meet the Specific Plan criteria. The
configuration and land use characteristics of each SPA should result in
development within a reasonable time, and the phasing provides for sequential
development and the logical extension of public services and facilities. No
objections to the proposal have been received from other City departments or
from the school districts or utility companies.
