It shoul d be noted that the subject territory i s i n the City of Chul a Vista's
Partial Sphere-of-Influence, which was adopted by LAFCO in November, 1981 . In
addition, a majority of the landowners and registered voters within the

Environmental Review
The City Council , at their meeting of October 30, 1984, adopted Resolution No.
11811 certifying EIR-84-5, which included the Otay Valley Road South General
Plan Amendment, territorial prezoning, and annexation to the City of Chula
Vista. LAFCO 's resolution of approval also certified the subject EIR and
associated mitigation measures.
General Plan/Prezoning
The County's Otay Subregional Plan designates the territory as service
commercial , intensive agriculture, and impact sensitive. County zoning is
currently C-37 (heavy commercial) and A-72 (general agriculture).
The plan diagram of the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan
designates the territory "Research and Limited Industrial" and "Parks and
Public Open Space." City prezoning is I-L-P (Limited Industrial with Precise
Plan Modifying District attached) for the area situated north of the northerly
floodway line of the Otay River, and F-1 (Floodway Zone) for the balance of
the area south of said floodway line.
The General Plan and prezoning classifications are consistent with the adopted
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Plan.
Municipal Services Delivery
The City's Public Works, Police, and Fire Departments have reported that the
provision of comprehensive municipal services to the proposal area after
annexation can be accomplished without an increase of manpower and/or
equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City's share of base year property tax revenue from the
proposal ares will be pursuant to the Master Property Tax Exchange Agreement
which was in leffect prior to its expiration on November 1 , 1984.
The Master Agreement's definition of "undeveloped property" (real property
having no assessed improvements thereon or having improvements thereon with an
assessed value of less than the assessed value of the land in the same parcel)
pertains to the territory proposed for annexation. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the City would receive none of the base year taxes from the annexed
area. However, because the proposal area is within a redevelopment district,
the Chula Vista Redevelopment Agency would receive 100% of the territory's
annual tax i ncr- - • - •- - - - • • -• year.
