Although two of the involved six acres of land are within the City of Chula Vista, most of the site lies within the unincorporated territory of San Diego County. The residential development of the subject site will , therefore, require territorial rezoning, annexation and prezoning, as well as the environmental assessment and design review of the proposed project, and the instant general plan amendment proposal . While the proposed general plan amendment, prezoning and rezoning requests have been filed as a joint application, the approval of the said amendment is prerequisite to the granting of the companion requests. (The proposed amendment is depicted on the attached Exhibit A. ) Attached for your consideration is EIR-84-7. It is the conclusion of this document that the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts. At their August 22, 1984 meeting, the Planning Commission certified as final this Environmental Impact Report. RECOMMENDATION: Concurrence with the recommendation of the City Planning Commission and adoption of the Resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommends that Council : 1 . Certify that EIR-84-7 has been prepared in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and that the Council is considering the information in this document as they reach a decision on the project. 2. Approve GPA-84-1 . (At the Planning Commission's public hearing of August 22, 1984, a petition of protest against the approval of the proposed residential project was read into the record. A copy of this petition, which contains 47 signatures, is attached to this report as Exhibit C. ) Page 2, Item 4 Meeting Date 9/11/84 DISCUSSION: 1 . Planning and Zoning Information The subject site is designated "Parks and Public Open Space" by the Chula Vista General Plan. The subarea within the City of Chula Vista is zoned "R-1 ", and the subarea within the County is zoned S-90-20 (Urban Holding Zone). The site is presently a part of the Country Club 's landscaped open space, but is not a part of its golf course. 2. Adjacent General Plan Designations (Please see Exhibit A. ) North - Medium Density Residential and, Parks and Public Open Space South - Medium Density Residential East - Medium Density Residential and Retail Commercial West - Parks and Public Open Space 3. Adjacent Zoning and Land Use (Please see Exhibit B. ) North - R-1 Single-family dwell ings S-90-20 (County) Golf course South - RV-15 (County) Single-family dwellings East - R-1 Single-family dwellings - C-N Neighborhood shopping center West - R-1 Vacant - S-90-20 (County) Golf course ANALYSIS 1 . The subject site is situated within an urban pattern which is dominated by medium-density residential and open space land uses. In essence, the area in question is a stable, suburban settlement. 2. The proposed project would be oriented towards the increasing need for middle-income housing within the South Bay. The project's six acres of land would accommodate 80 condominium dwelling units, at a net density of about 13 dwelling units per acre, and a gross density of 12.3 dwelling units per acre. This net density and texture would be harmonious with those of adjacent areas within Castle Park. 3. The proposed residential project would be integrated, from the standpoints of physical arrangement and landscaping, with the golf course of the San Diego Country Club. The project 's design reflects the applicant 's intent to establish a well-ordered golf course-residential community on the lands in question. • Page 3, Item 4 Meeting Date 9/11/84 CONCLUSIONS The proposed residential project is consistent with, and senstive to the adjacent residential order within the Hilltop Drive/Naples Street area, and is harmonious with the onsite patterns of land use and landscape. Its development would augment Chula Vista 's stock of middle-income housing, and thereby partially meet an increasing residential demand in the South Bay Subregion.
