COUNCIL ACTION /_ _ _ � /� /(��a.G� I �� (/�� 4�!!!. by tne Ci?y Council of Chula Vi'sta, California ��t�J _ �- �% ?�_ Form A-113 (Rev. 5/77) AGENDA ITEM NO 6 � • " • Meeting of 8/14/79 Supplemental page two to very hilly with slopes up to 50% in the southeast corner of the site. The lower area lies within the 100 year flood level of the Sweetwater River and is subject to inundation. ' 3. General Plan. The subject property is presently divided into three land use designations on the General Plan. On May 22, 1979 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9602 amending the General Plan designation for the 3.0 acres located at the southeast corner of Bonita and Otay Lakes Roads from High Density Residentia1 ,13-26 DU/acre ' to Retail Canmercial . The southeasterly 5.8 acres of the property is designated Low Density Residential , 1-3 DU/acre, and the remaining 9.34 acres is designated High Density Residential . Both Bonita Road and Otay Lakes Road are designated as scenic routes. 4. P�oposed development. The applicant intends to develop 120 residential units and 20,000 sq. ft. of cortonercial space. The residential development would consist of a mixture of one and two story single family, duplex, triplex and fourplex condominiums. Each unit would have a orivate yard area. The comnercial development would consist of 15,000 sq. ft. of retail lease space divided into shops of approximately 1 ,000 sq. ft. each. The ' remaining 5,000 sq. ft. of floor space is proposed to be devoted to a restaurant or a financial building. C. ANALYSIS 1. The proposed C-C (Central Commercial ) zone on the northwesterr 3 acre portion of the site is consistent with the Retail Cortmercial designation of the General Plan and with the adjacent commercial area to the west. The residential zone of R-3-P-8 would permit a maximum density of 120 units on the 15+ acres, �ahereas the two residential designations shown on the General Plan would permit a r�aximur� density of approximately 260 units. The proposed R-3-P-8 zone would allow the area to develop at a density within the ranges (1-3 DU/acre and 13-26 DU/acre) permitted by the General Plan and is, therefore, in substantial conforriance with the General Plan. 2. The two adjoining streets have been designated on the General Plan as scenic routes which requires that the Precise Plan Modifyina District be attached to insure that the proposed developments create a pleasing streetscaoe through landscaping, cluster techniques, sign control and architectural excellence. 3. The action of the Planning Comnission recorrunending that the entire 18.14 acres be prezoned R-3-P-8 was based on the Planning Cortmission 's previous recommendation that the General Plan should not be amended to allow additional comnercial activities east of Otay Lakes Road. The Planning Corrunission also cited the fact that there is no apparent need for additional coimnercial zoning based on the amount of vacant commercial floor area in Bonita and the amount of vacant, and/or comnercially zoned land which is developed with non-corrunercial uses throughout the city. The City Council subsequently approved the amendment to the General Plan and it is staff's opinion that the zoning should now be brought into conformance with the General Plan. Therefore Staff recamnends that the request to prezone the 3 acres to C-C-P be approved subject to the following precise plan guidelines: a. The Corrmercial area shall be architecturally coordinated through the use of similar materials, colors and architectural style, in keeping with the rural characteristic of Bonita. b. Freestanding signs shall be restricted to monument signs . c. The Cormnercial lot shall not be divided into separate parcels until such time as an overall site plan and elevations (architectural theme) are approved for the entire three acres. The Planning Cortmission's resolution approving the R-3-P-8 zone also contains guidelines for the development of the residential portion of the project. 4. Section 19.12. 110 of the Zonin� Ordinance requires Council to refer a rezoning back to the Planning Corrnnission for a further reoort and recormnendation in cases where Council desires to take an action contrary to the Planning Cormnission's recormnendation. Accordingly, if Council accepts the Staff recorrmiendation, the item must be referred back to the Planning Cortmiission. As a matter of information to Council , Staff is looking into �� the possibility of revising Section 19.12.110 to not require the referral back to the Planning Cortmission in certain kinds of cases. o- � �-r CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL C C'P GOLF COURSE �0 ' BONITA � � � „ � � 506.57 � i I . �__ 132.14�' i � _ __ 313.85� i� ; � � �� .` �8510� � I I �. + 36.59' � _ —�9Z70� � a � � `��21.54� � ean O � I '� `�'>I4200� � � W � � i I �� I � � � , --- 4Z4.64� _- R-3' P-8 � � i � - - - -- - - 1 � N � � � i ~ � � � i o � i � � � i N -- � I � I -- �� — 670.86� --- I F I Z � I � � `I 1� V I � � � � �\ � � ��j � - - a i I i � o _ � � � ao I � rn I W i °�O. � � + Y _-- -� I Q ' ase.00' ` � ■ J � Q Cq�� F,,, % MESITq O � CASE N0.
