NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby approve PCM-90-20 for Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan based on the following findings: 1. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENEPJ~L PLAN Review and analysis of the General Development Plan finds the project to be in conformity with the policies and guidelines established in the General Plan. 2. A PLANNED COMMUNITY CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC USES OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONE. The applicant plans to submit a Section Planning Area {SPA) plan for the entire 1197 acres covered in the General Development Plan. 3. IN THE CASE OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND THAT IT WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH AND PROVIDE COMPATIBLE VARIETY TO THE CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS AND THAT THE SITES PROPOSED FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES SUCH AS SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS, AND PARKS ARE ADEQUATE TO SERVE THE ANTICIPATED POPULATION AND APPEAR ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. The General Development P1 an proposes a residential community predominantly Low Density Residential east of Salt Creek, surrounding Low-Medium Density Residential west of Salt Creek Resolution No. 15875 Page 2 except for a Medium Density Residential 48 acre area along the southwestern border. The Medium Density Residential area is closest to the Eastlake Technolo!ty Park south of this project, and is consistent with the guidelines which encourage higher residential densities located near employment centers. Two neighborhood parks are proposed to serve nearby residential areas. Proposed facilities may include pool, tennis courts, and gym/community center. 4. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND OVERALL DESIGN TO THE PURPOSE INTENDED; THAT THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE. No industrial or research land uses are proposed for this project. 5. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL, RECREATION, AND OTHER SIMILAR NON-RESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN _ AREA, LOCATION, AND OVERALL PLANNING TO THE PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH. Principal non-residential uses (schools and parks) proposed in Salt Creek Ranch are centralized and adequately sized to serve this community. The light industrial area south of this project is completely separated from all residential area by a buffered landscaped strip and a change in elevation. 6. THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON. The Environmental Impact Report analyzed traffic that will be generated by Salt Creek Ranch as well as existing and proposed projects which will conform to the Chula Vista General Plan and its Circulation Element. The analysis demonstrated that Salt Creek Ranch will construct or provide funding for streets to carry the anticipated traffic in accordance with the City's threshold criteria. 7. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH PROPOSED LOCATIONS(S). Resolution No. 15875 Page 3 No commercial land uses are proposed for this project. 8. THE AREAS SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID DEVELOPMENT. Road access will be provided to undeveloped parcels to the north and east of this project. Salt Creek Ranch is planned to represent the eastern edge of urban development. Parcels to the north and east are anticipated to be rural in character. The progression from higher densities in the west to lower densities in the east is consistent with the nature of the projected development on surrounding properties. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan is subject to the following conditions: 1. Grading and landform alterations shall meet City of Chula Vista policy of preserving significant landforms, particularly elements of the ridgeline locates in Subarea 3. 2. A minimum of two community purpose facilities sites for three community purpose facilities, totalling 7 acres, shall be provided and shall comply with revised City criteria applicable at the time of the SPA plan approval; the locations shown in the GDP are conceptual and subject to further refinement at the SPA level. 3. The applicant shall work with City staff to develop a program to meet City policy requirements for the provision of law and moderate income housing; the program shall be approved by the City Council concurrent with the SPA plan approval. 4. A fire station site shall be provided by the applicant, subject to the terms and conditions established in the SPA plan and the Public Facilities Financing Plan. 5. A Conceptual Landscape Plan shall be prepared addressing landscape concepts, maintenance responsibilities, and a master plant list as part of the SPA plan. All trees and shrubs within the streetscape shall be of a type, or types, acceptable to the City Landscape Architect and City Street Tree Supervisor. 6. All grading shall comply with Section 7.7 of the Chula Vista General Plan and Chapter 15.04 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. Additional design conditions shall be added to ensure sensitive treatment of significant physical characteristics of the site, as stated in the GDP. 7. All street designs shall conform to the City of Chula Vista Street Design Standards Policy or to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. Resolution No. 15875 Page 4 8. A maximum of 2817 units, 7 less than proposed in the General Development Plan, is approved. Exclusion of a cactus wren nesting area from the development envelope has the effect of reducing the midpoint number of units from 2824 to 2817. The ultimate unit total, resulting from more specific SPA planning and site analysis, could be reduced; this SPA plan review will include, and not be limited to, an analysis of compliance with the General Plan grading criteria. 9. Prior to the issuance of occupancy permits for any project development phase, and building permits for any subsequent phase, all proposed subdivision improvements, such as streets, sidewalks, water and sewer lines, which are the expressed responsibility of the developer, shall be satisfactorily completed, or such completion shall be assured pursuant to a duty adopted Public Facilities Financing Plan. lO. The applicant shall pay its fair share of any costs related to a city-sponsored Growth Management Program, pursuant to local ordinances. 11. The applicant shall enter into a three party agreement with the Environmental Review Coordinator to fully implement the Mitigation ' Monitoring Program. 12. A detailed Water Master Plan shall be prepared at the SPA level, and will address the use of reclaimed water and location, sizing, phasing and financing of needed facilities. 13. A detailed Sewer Master Plan shall be prepared at the SPA level and will identify the timing, phasing, and financing of required sewer facility improvements. 14. A hydrology study of the eastern portion of the property shall be conducted at the SPA level to evaluate potential downstream impacts associated with development, and all essential facilities needed to protect the water quality of the Upper Otay Reservoir. 15. The applicant shall commit to future and on-going compliance with the Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Phasing Plan (ECVTPP). 16. Neighborhood Recreation facilities and other park improvements shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Parks and Recreation. 17. Two elementary school sites shall be provided in compliance with City criteria and to the satisfaction of the School District. Resolution No. 15875 Page 5 18. The project applicant shall agree to participate in a regional or sub-regional multi-species coastal sage scrub conservation plan. If, prior to approval of the grading plan for areas lOa, 10b and ll (identified as the three easternmost "L" area in the Figure), an off-site regional wildlife corridor linking San Miguel Mountain with the Upper Otay Reservoir has not been approved as part of the conservation plan, then development of the 17 acre R-L development area in the eastern portion of the property shall not occur and a reconfiguration of the northeastern R-L area to provide a wider open space area for a regional wildlife corridor shall be implemented. The width of the open space areas shall be sufficient to ensure long-term viability of the wildlife corridor, per Exhibit R-1 contained in the EIR staff report of September 5, lggO. This condition shall also be included a s condition of the Tentative Subdivision Map. 19. The GOP map shall be revised to delete development within a buffer area around the identified cactus wren nest site. Exclusion of this area from the development envelope has the effect of reducing the midpoint number of units from 2824 to 2817. 20. Any residential clustering project shall comply with the provisions of Section 6.3 of the General Plan; in particular, clustering within the R-L range shall have a maximum net density not exceeding 4.5 units per net acre. 21. Recommended mitigation measures contained in the staff report for EIR 89-3 are on file in the Office of the City Clerk, and the same is hereby approved. Presented by ~a~t o rm by Robert A.
