THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT DESCRIBED BY THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN. The proposed amendment does not increase the number of dwelling units within the boundaries of the General Development Plan, therefore, the proposed amendment is in conformance with the Chula Vista General Plan. 2. A PLANNED COMMUNITY CAN BE INITIATED BY ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIC USES OR SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA WITHIN TWO YEARS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONE. The applicant has state that plans for specific uses will be submitted within the allowable timeframe. 3. IN THE CASE OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A RESIDENT 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 Resolution No. 16628 Page 2 PUBLIC AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION THEREOF. The ppoposed amendment to the General Development Plan will transfer 69 approved dwelling units from Parcels R-2, R-8, R-g, R-13, R-17 and R-lg to Parcels R-24 and R-25. This transfer of dwelling units will improve the plan by providing a more balanced land use plan for the two parcels receiving the dwelling units by creating a transition between the EastLake Activity Corridor and the single-family detached neighborhoods around the golf course. 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. No institutional, recreation, or similar non-residential uses are proposed within the area proposed for amendment. 6. THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON. The previously certified Environmental Impact Report analyzed traffic that will be generated by EastLake II as well as existing and proposed projects which will conform to the Chula Vista General Plan and its Circulation Element. The analysis demonstrated that EastLake II 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 LOCATION{S}. 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 south and east of this project. 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. Resolution No. 16628 Page 3 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby approves said amendment to the EastLake II General Plan changing the land use designation on Parcels R-24 and R-25 from Low Medium to Medium land use.
