Item 6
Meeting Date 9/11/84
ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing: Resolution /1 7s Approving GPA-84-5,
Proposed amendment to the text of the and-Use Element of the
Chula Vista General Plan, pertaining to the development of the
Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Project Area
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Planning 6k; (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
While the text of the Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan, at
Page 27, clearly calls for the light industrial development of the Otay Valley
Road area, it is brief, and silent with respect to the City's complex process
for the promotion and guidance of such development, as well as the protection
of the environmental quality of adjacent residential areas. The proposed
amendment, expressed in attached Exhibit A, would strengthen the General
Plan's statement on the Otay Valley Road area and would provide pertinent
developmental , conservation, and plan processing guidance.
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 . Adopt Negative Declaration IS-85-2.
2. Approval of GPA-84-5.
DISCUSSION:
1 . The proposed amendment recognizes the recently-created Otay Valley Road
Redevelopment Project Area, and addresses the combined City-Redevelopment
Agency process involved in its development as a planned, light-industrial
complex.
2. The amendment would also stress the foreseeable need for special planning
controls within the Project Area. This need would be based upon the
proximity of residential developments to the emerging industrial area in
question.
3. The proposed text generically recites the special planning controls,
called "extraordinary standards and principles," which might be required
to conciliate the successful revitalization of the 700-acre Otay Valley
Road Project Area, and the maintenance of the order, amenity, and
environmental quality of peripheral areas. The adroit application of
these standards and principles could, furthermore, provide plan
effectuation in Chula Vista a new direction, characterized by higher
levels of sensitivity and responsiveness to the particular needs of
individual neighborhoods and subcommunities.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
