It is anticipated that development will commence in 1985 and will be phased over a five-year period. Environmental Review The Environmental Impact Report (EIR-81-3) for the original EastLake Planned Community Development (consisting of 3,073 acres of territory) was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) , the State CEQA Guidelines, and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista. Subsequent to the applicant's submittal of a plan which reduced the scope of the original Eastlake project from 3,073 acres to 1 ,268 acres (EastLake I , subject of the instant reorganization proposal) the Environment Review Committee conducted a public hearing to determine the necessity for a supplemental EIR on the EastLake I project. Following said hearing, the Environmental Review Committee adopted Resolution No. ERC-83-1 , finding that no subsequent or supplemental EIR need be prepared. On August 24, 1982, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10995 certifying the Final Master EIR-81-3 -- EastLake Planned Community Development -- as complete and adequate in that it addressed all environmental effects of the proposed EastLake General Plan Amendment approving the EastLake Policy Plan, as well as the EastLake I prezoning to a Planned Community designation. General Plan/Prezoning The EastLake I territory is currently within the County's Otay Subregional Planning Area with a land use designation of intensive agriculture and very low density residential (1 du/2, 4, 8 acre) . The County has applied the S-87 (limited control ) zone to the subject property. On August 24, 1982, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 10996 and thereby amended the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan for the proposed EastLake Planned Community Development project. The subject GPA designated 1 ,268 acres of land "EastLake I" (area proposed for annexation to the City) , and approximately 1 ,800 acres "Future Urban," for a total 3,073 acres. In conjunction with the subject amendment, Council adopted the EastLake Policy Plan which governs the development of the "Future Urban" sector of the EastLake project, and establishes the Planned Community District Regulations for the EastLake I reorganization area. At its meeting of September 7, 1982, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2002 prezoning the territory designated as "EastLake I" to P-C (Planned Community Zone) in conformance with the General Plan.
