In addition to the retail space, a fire station, a storefront library, including a one acre dedication of land and a transit center are planned. Approximately 18 acres in the north end of the center will house over 400 dwelling units established primarily for seniors and low-income families. Circulation and Street Improvements Approval of a subdivision map proposing over 70 acres of commercial/ residential and 158 acres of individual development requires conditions which are related to the EastLake Facilities Financing Plan similar to the conditions required of the adjacent residential EastLake subdivision map (84-9) . As previously addressed in the report for the EastLake Hills/Shore subdivision, the Financing Plan and necessity for various road segments is based on an areawide assessment of traffic demands with the EastLake Development part of the total area. The development of the EastLake Village Center and Business Center is proposed to be built in four units. Unit I will consist of 15 industrial lots and the realignment of Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road developed to a minimum 1/2 width. The second phase will include an additional 20 industrial lots, the installation of the 7 acre private park and the second entrance connection (EastLake Parkway) to Telegraph Canyon Road. Additional improvements and widening of Telegraph Canyon west of the project will allow for a smooth flow of traffic from 805 to the industrial lots. Unit #3 will complete the recordation if the remaining 22 industrial lots. In addition a road connection from "H" Street to Proctor Valley Road will be made as well as the completion of EastLake Parkway across SR 125 to provide a link with the EastLake residential development. Unit #4 involves all of the Village area which consists of 3 office lots totaling 14 acres, and the 55+ acre Village Center commercial lot which will also house over 400 dwelling units. Various on-site and off-site improvements including the required extension of Route 125 to State Route 54 are included as necessary road extensions with the construction of Unit #4. Telegraph Canyon Road and "H" Street will serve as the primary east-west arteries serving all the Units. Street Names The applicant is in the process of submitting a list of street names which will require review by the various City departments. Final approval of the street names is required by the Planning Commission, therefore, it is intended that such names will come back at a later date for Planning Commission consideration. Low/Moderate Housing Requirements The applicant is obligated by the SPA requirements to provide 10 percent of the housing units for qualified nedl income necessaryyto Housing Coordinator has determined Page 3, Item 8 Meeting Date 3/19/85 ensure the construction of low income units. Therefore 5 percent or 119 units must qualify for low income families. It is anticipated that these units will be constructed within the proposed Village Center area. The Hills and Shore area has already been conditioned to provide for the construction of 119 moderate income units. The applicant has indicated a willingness to explore the use of manufactured housing in the residential development within the Village area. Since the condition requiring manufactured housing was deleted from the lower density EastLake residential area to the west, the Planning Department has no condition requiring manufactured housing for this area. School s The applicant has already proposed to dedicate and construct one elementary school within the Hills Subdivision boundaries. In addition, space within existing junior high schools is available together with other approved or acquired sites located outside the boundaries of EastLake. EastLake is planning for the dedication and construction of a high school and one additional elementary school in the area located south of Telegraph Canyon Road outside the boundaries of the subdivision. A condition of approval requiring letters from each of the school districts (Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater High School) will be required prior to the issuance of residential building permits. Those letters require verification by the district that school service will be available to serve the units proposed for construction. Landscaping The Village and Business Center subdivision will emphasize landscaping along the scenic routes of "H" Street and Telegraph Canyon Road as well as the area abutting SR 125. These areas which feature (primarily) manufactured slopes will be the maintenance responsibility of a Master Homeowners Association. In addition, a maintenance district will also be established to cover any areas dedicated to the City such as median islands. The natural areas at the north end of the subdivision will be left natural in most cases. However, supplemental tree planting of certain canyons and ornamental planting of key entry areas will occur. Many of the manufactured slopes will be landscaped with native materials to minimize water needs. Highly visible entry and corridor areas will have ornamental planting which will be manicured to achieve a desired design effect. The overall concept and landscaping classifications for given areas is shown in the EastLake SPA plan. Parks The proposed construction of 641 detached units and 1 ,339 multiple family units within the Hills and Shores area resulted in just over 24+ acres of park land in the area west of SR 125. The 405 units planned within the Village area will have access to those parks. (3 ° t �\ Page 4, Item 8 Meeting Date i/19/3b A private park of 7 acres is proposed for the industrial lots in Unit #2. As previously stated in the Hills and Shores subdivision the SPA plan proposed a formula for park credit which recognized the semi-private nature of some of the EastLake parks and features proposed within them. In other words, certain facilities or areas within the parks are open to the members of the Eastlake Therefore, a credit community and n the the enables the applicant tofineet percent he City's suggested standards. In addition to park standards, the City requires developers to pay RCT (residential construction tax) monies to finance park construction as well as other needed public facilities (drainage, sewer, fire stations, libraries, etc. ). Since EastLake is obligated for all the necessary public facilities as part of the SPA nconnected with parks ors residential construction tax..end the waiver of any fees FISCAL IMPACT: Refer to Public Facilities and Financing Plan.
