Record of the proceedings of the Planning Commission at their public hearing on

provided to the City Council and are hereby incorporated into the record of this
proceeding.

prior to this action, on December 2, 2014, reviewed and certified FEIR -13 -01 and
adopted the Findings of Fact, Statement of Overriding Considerations, and Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program by Resolution No. EIR- 13 -01.
IV. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein for the Project, is
in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the following:
1. Land Use and Circulation
The Project is consistent with and implements the Otay Ranch Village Eight East
SPA Plan by establishing developable parcels, public improvements and public
facilities that will create a mixed -use Town Center and other complementary land
-254-
Resolution No. 2014 -
Page 3
uses, including community purpose facilities, public schools and parks, and
residential neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing types and densities. The
Mixed Use Urban Village would be comprised of integrated commercial, residential
and office uses that would encourage use of alternative modes of transportation and
reduce reliance on the automobile. The Project will be designed to encourage
residents to utilize alternative modes of transportation such as Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) service, local bus service, the SR -125 Village Pathway Bridge, pedestrian
sidewalks and trails, and bicycle lanes.
The Project has been designed to include a vehicle circulation system that complies
with the requirements of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan, Otay Ranch General
Development Plan and Otay Ranch Village Eight East SPA Plan. The circulation
system includes a hierarchy of streets, each providing accommodations for pedestrian
walkways and bicycle ways. Reduced lane widths and bulb -outs at intersections will
enhance pedestrian comfort and safety in the Village Core, and Mixed -Use
Residential districts. The construction of the circulation system will be phased in
accordance with the Village Eight East SPA's Public Facilities Financing Plan
(PFFP), such that the development of the circulation system will respond to planned
growth and maintain acceptable levels of service, as required by the City's Growth
Management Program.
2. Economic Development
The Project will contribute to the economic base of the City by providing a mixed use
Village Core and Residential districts that will provide for a range of multi - family
residential product types that will enhance the image and appearance of the Otay
Ranch community and will benefit the local economy. Approval of the Project will
help achieve the General Plan objectives that seek to promote a variety of job and
housing opportunities to improve the City's jobs/housing balance, provide a diverse
economic base, and encourage the growth of small businesses.
3. Public Facilities and Services
To fulfill educational needs of students residing in Village Eight, an elementary
school site of approximately 10.8 acres has been reserved as described in the PFFP
for acquisition by the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Chula Vista
Elementary School District would be able to accommodate the additional students
generated by the Project, and the existing schools would not be adversely impacted by
the approval of the Project.
Sewer
The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater
services area. Sewer capacity needs for the Project, in conjunction with long -term
growth in the area, have been analyzed in the PFFP. Sewer capacity will be available
to serve the Project subject to the PFFP requirements, which are included as
Conditions of Approval for the Project. Based on these requirements, no adverse
impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a
result of the Project.
—255—
Resolution No. 2014 -
Page 4
Parks
The Project has been conditioned to dedicate parkland for a 6.8 net -acre
Neighborhood Park and approximately 23.7 net -acres of Community Park. Said park
sites will be developed with a variety of recreational opportunities ranging from
active to passive recreational experiences. Phasing of park facilities and maintenance
has been addressed in the PFFP. The actual park facilities and amenities will be
determined in conjunction with the park master plan process for each individual park.
Services
The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and
services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those
services. The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the
proposed subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have determined
that the proposal meets those standards. Project construction will be required to
comply with the applicable California Green Building Standards, the City's Green
Building Standards and the City's Energy Efficiency Ordinance in affect at the time
of building permit issuance, ensuring energy- efficient homes will be developed.
4. Housin
The Project will provide a variety of housing types, including single -and multi - family
residential home ownership opportunities, as well as affordable housing
opportunities, as required by the Affordable Housing Plan prepared for the Project.
The Project has been conditioned to require that the Applicant enter into an
agreement to provide affordable housing prior the approval of the first Final Map.
Thus the Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the City's General Plan by
providing additional opportunities for high- quality, market -rate single - family
residential home ownership in the southeastern portion of the City.
5. Growth Management
The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element
requirements because a PFFP has been prepared as required by the Growth
Management Ordinance. The PFFP requirements have been included in the Project's
conditions of approval.
6. Environmental
The Project EIR -13 -01 addressed the goals and policies of the Environmental
Element of the General Plan and found development of this site to be consistent with
these goals and policies. The Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP)
requires conveyance of 1.188 acres of land to the Otay Ranch Preserve for every one -
acre of developed land prior to approval of any Final Map, which is equivalent to
approximately 256.6 acres. The Project has been conditioned to dedicate Multi -
species Conservation Plan (MSCP) open space preserve lands prior to recordation of
each Final Map. The Project is therefore consistent with the requirements of the Otay
Ranch RMP and MSCP Subarea Plan.
B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the
configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allows for the optimum siting of
lots for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities and that the development of
—256—
Resolution No. 2014 -
Page 5
the site will be subject to site plan and architectural review to ensure the maximum
utilization of natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities.
C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs of the region and
has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City and
the available fiscal and environmental resources.
D. The site is physically suited for development because it will be developed in
conformance with the Otay Ranch Village Eight East SPA Plan and EIR- 13 -01, which
contain provisions to ensure that the site is developed in a manner that is consistent with
the standards established by the City for a master — planned community.
E. The conditions herein imposed on the Project, are approximately proportional both in
nature and extent to the impact created by the Project, based upon the City's police
powers and evidence provided by the record of the proceedings of EIR- 13 -01.
V. GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 66020 NOTICE
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66020(d) (1), NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the
90 day period to protest the imposition of any impact fee, dedication, reservation, or other
exaction described in this resolution begins on the effective date of this resolution and any
such protest must be in a manner that complies with Section 66020(a) and failure to follow
timely this procedure will bar any subsequent legal action to attack, set aside, void or annul
imposition. The right to protest the fees, dedications, reservations, or other exactions does
not apply to planning, zoning, grading, or other similar application processing fees or service
fees in connection with the project; and it does not apply to any fees, dedication, reservations,
or other exactions which have been given notice similar to this, nor does it revive challenges
to any fees for which the Statute of Limitations has previously expired.
