ITEM TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: PCZ-85-D, Amendment of the EastLake I Planned
Community District Regulations (Ordinance No. 2002)
Ordinance -2/0g Adopting an Amendment to the EastLake I
Planned Community District Regulations for the Area of
EastLake I north of Otay Lakes Road (Telegraph Canyon Road)
SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
SUBMITTED BY: Planning Director G , (475ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
On September 7, 1982, the City Council adopted Planned Community District
Regulations for EastLake I. At that time, the regulations were general
because specific plans of development were not available. Now that more
definitive land plans have been completed, including master tentative
subdivision maps, it is appropriate to amend the PC zoning regulations. The
Environmental Impact Report for the item described herein was certified by the
City Council on January 29, 1985.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the EastLake I Planned Community District Regulations
and repeal the Planned Community District Regulations adopted by the City of
Chula Vista for EastLake on September 7, 1982 (Ordinance 2002) for the area of
EastLake I north of Otay Lakes Road (Telegraph Canyon Road) .
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission is scheduled to
consider this item on February 13, 1985; therefore their recommendation will
be forwarded to Council in a separate letter.
DISCUSSION:
The original PC Zone regulations adopted for EastLake I (Ordinance No. 2002,
September 7, 1982) were fairly general because the General Development Plan
did not contain specific lotting patterns or development design.
Now that more detailed planning has been completed for that portion of
EastLake I located north of Otay Lakes Road, it is appropriate to amend the
1982 PC Zone regulations to provide more detailed use and development
standards for the project. The remaining area of EastLake I located south of
Otay Lakes Road would still be covered by the 1982 PC zone until specific
plans for development are filed at a later date.
The proposed PC Zone regulations reflect a "custom" set of zoning standards
intended to carry out the goals and objectives of the overall SPA plan.
The permitted uses, development standards, parking regulations, sign standards
and administrative procedures have been written specifically for the intended
type and intensity of development contemplated by the EastLake I SPA plan.
The zoning regulations will insure that the quality of the project will be
maintained and at that future development and use of the property will be
consistent with the original plan.

The proposed PC Zone regulations are organized into nine (9) sections:
Section I General Provisions
Section II Residential Standards
Section III Village Center Standards
Section IV Business Center Standards
Section V Open Space Standards
Section VI Special Uses and Conditions
Section VII Sign Regulations
Section VIII Off-Street Parking Regulations
Section IX Administrative Procedures
Section I - General Provisions
The General Provisions (Section I) state that where there is a conflict
between the EastLake PC Zone regulations and the Chula Vista Zoning Ordinance,
the PC Zone regulations shall apply. All of the definitions listed in the
City Zoning Ordinance are incorporated by reference into the EastLake PC Zone
regul ati ons.
Section II - RESIDENTIAL USES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Section II contains the basic residential use and development standards. The
residential uses range from large lot single family detached homes to
apartment uses.
Use standards are established according to the compatibility of principle uses
within each of the residential districts (9). All public and semi-public uses
will require a conditional use permit. All home occupations, accessory uses
and temporary uses will require Administrative Review by the Director of
Planning.
Property development standards for the residential districts relate to minimum
lot area, lot width, lot depth, setbacks, building height and off-street
parking. Most of the property development standards for planned developments
(RP) , condominium developments (RC) and apartment development (RM) will be
established at the time site plans are filed with the city. The major
requirement established for RC, RP, and RM uses at this time are the
off-street parking requirements.
Performance standards for the residential districts establish standards for
utility equipment, landscaping of yard areas, noise regulations, energy
conservation, wall and fence heights, storage areas, laundry facilities, trash
enclosures and provisions for recreational vehicles. The 10,000 square foot
lots (RE) will have a larger side yard on one side of the house to permit
parking of recreational vehicles off-street and out of view. The applicant
has stated his intention to prohibit recreational vehicles within the project
in total , however, in the event that recreational vehicles are permitted,
space will be provided on the large lots or within fully screened parking
areas.

Section III - Commercial Use and Development Standards
The Village Center is not being developed within the first 2 or 3 years of the
project because there will not be enough population to support commercial
uses. The type of development is known, i.e. neighborhood shopping center,
specialty restaurants, high density residential , office development, civic
uses and open space. Thus, the PC Zoning regulations establish permitted and
conditional uses for the Village Center in concert with the intended
development.
With respect to property development standards, the PC Zoning regulations
establish the requirement for a precise plan to be submitted for the entire
71 .8 acres prior to any development within the Village Center.
Performance standards are included to establish certain guidelines for the
protection of adjacent areas. All uses within the Village Center will be
subject to site plan and design review.
Section IV - Business Center Districts
The industrial park contains approximately 157 acres and is planned to
accommodate two types of uses - high technology firms and light industrial/
commercial
The high technology types of uses are classified as BC-1 and the other light
industrial/commercial uses are designated as BC-2. No heavy industrial type
of uses will be permitted.
The property development standards are consistent with modern industrial park
standards. Each use will be subject to site plan and design review.
Performance standards are more stringent than in the residential and
commercial districts, to protect persons and property against temperature and
electrical disturbance, fire and explosive hazard, radioactivity, vibration,
toxic materials and liquid and solid waste disposal .
Section V - Open Space Districts
All of the open space parcels have been designated as Open Space 1 , 2, 3, 4 or
5 on the land use district map. The PC Zone regulations allow each of the
open space parcels to be used for various forms of open space uses such as
interim agricultural , park and recreation facilities, tree farms, and public
and quasi-public uses.
In the event some use involving a structure is permitted on an open space
parcel , property development standards are established to govern the setbacks
and height of such structures on the site.
No sign or outdoor advertising structure is permitted in any open space
iistrict.

Section VI - Special Uses and Conditions
Temporary uses that do not normally exceed a certain period of time, including
subdivision sales offices, outdoor sales, or recycling bins will be permitted
subject to certain standards approved by the Director of Planning. In every
case involving a temporary use, time limits will be established.
Special types of uses requiring more elaborate standards, such as kennels and
video arcades will be permitted only upon issuance of a conditional use permit
by the Planning Commission.
Section VII - Comprehensive Sign Regulations
The proposed sign regulations are substantially more comprehensive and
detailed than current City requirements. The reason for this is twofold: (1 )
EastLake I is a planned community requiring a higher level of sign control to
maintain a quality visual environment, and (2) the existing city sign
regulations are much broader to accommodate the strip commercial centers along
many of the principal streets such as Broadway and Third Avenue.
The sign regulations list all the types of signs that may be permitted subject
to approval of a sign permit. Likewise, all types of signs not permitted in
the project are also listed.
Signs relating to inoperative activities, enforcement procedures for
violations and construction and maintenance standards are specified.
Design standards are set forth to encourage signs that complement the
architectural style of buildings without impacting residential areas.
Section VIII - Off-Street Parking
The number of off-street parking spaces for residential uses are contained in
the respective residential sections of the ordinance. All other uses are
covered in the off-street parking section.
The number of off-street parking spaces required for business and industrial
uses are compatible with existing city standards. However, additional
standards are included that relate to handicapped parking, bicycle spaces and
motorcycles.
Parking lot dimensions are included to ensure safety in designing aisle widths
and parking spaces for group parking. Compact spaces may be approved up to
1/4 of the minimum required off-street spaces.
Striping, drainage, landscaping and lighting will be required in accordance
with established standards.

Section IX - Administrative Procedures
The Administrative Procedures (Section IX) will adopt by reference the same
procedures used by the City for variances, conditional use permits, zoning
permits, precise plans, planned unit developments, site plan review and
architectural and design review by the Design Review Committee. In addition,
an Administrative Review requirement has been created to provide for a review
of certain uses by the Director of Planning with the additional option of
requiring a formal conditional use permit hearing if the facts warrant.
