I. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence introduced before the Planning Commission at their
public hearing held on January 9, 2002, and the minutes and resolutions resulting therefrom, are
hereby incorporated into the record of this proceeding. These documents, along with any
documents submitted to the decision makers, shall comprise the entire record of the proceedings
for any California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) claims.
II. COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council hereby finds that the Project, as described and analyzed in the Second-
Tier Final EIR 98-01 would have no new effects that were not examined in said Final EIR
(Guideline 15168 (c)(2)).
III. ACTION
The City Council hereby approves the Otay Ranch, Village Six SPA Plan and supporting
regulatory documents including Planned Community District Regulations, Village Design Plan,
Public Facilities Finance Plan, and Affordable Housing Program involving approximately 386
acres of land known as "Otay Ranch, Village Six" based upon findings contained herein and is
consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan, the Otay Ranch General Development
Plan, and all other applicable Plans, and that the public necessity, convenience, general welfare
and good planning and zoning practice support their approval and implementation.
IV. SPA PLAN FINDINGS
A. THE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE SIX SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN
IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE OTAY RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
PLAN AND CITY OF CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan reflects the land uses,
circulation system, open space and recreational uses, and public facility uses consistent with the
Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Chula Vista General Plan.
B. THE PROPOSED OTAY RANCH VILLAGE SIX SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA
(SPA) PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED
DEVELOPMENT OF THE iNVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA.
The Village Six SPA Plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan contain provisions and
requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the Project. The Public Facilities
Financing Plan specifies the public facilities required by Village Six in order for it to function
properly and not become a public burden, and also the regional facilities needed to serve it.
Resolution 2002-022
Page 3
C. THE PROPOSED OTAY RANCH VILLAGE SIX SECTIONAL PLANNiNG AREA
(SPA) PLAN WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE,
RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan are
designed with an open space buffer adjacent to other existing projects, and future developments
off-site and within the Otay Ranch Village Six Sectional Planning Area. The project will
provide a variety of housing types compatible with existing adjacent land uses, as required by the
Otay Ranch General Development Plan. A comprehensive street network serves the project and
provides for access to off-site adjacent properties. The proposed SPA Plan follows all existing
environmental protection guidelines and will avoid unacceptable off-site impacts through the
provision of mitigation measures specified in the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Final Second-Tier
Environmental Impact Report (EIR 98-01).
D. iN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND
OVERALL 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.
The Project does not involve areas planned for industrial or research uses.
E. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER SIMILAR
NONRESDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
APPROPRIATE iN AREA, LOCATION AND OVER-ALL PLANNING TO THE
PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED
FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH DEVELOPMENT.
The Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan involves an Elementary School (S-l), a 7.0 net
acre Neighborhood Park (P-l) and two Community Purpose Facility (CPF) sites. These land
uses are considered appropriate for the area, location and over-all planning for Village Six in that
such uses are called for in the GDP. They have also been evaluated for their adverse land use
effects on proposed surrounding development and none have been identified. The Catholic
Diocese is proposing to construct a private high school in Neighborhood R-Ii. Such
institutional uses require a Conditional Use Permit (CLIP) with findings prior to their
construction. At such time as a CUP is applied for by the Catholic Diocese for said use, it will
be evaluated against the criteria found in this finding.
F. THE STREET AND THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED ARE SUITABLE AND
ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON.
The circulation system depicted in the SPA Plan is consistent with the Circulation system
identified on the City's General Plan and Otay Ranch General Development Plan and contains
adequate internal circulation consistent with the policies of the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan and the City's General Plan. Road improvements will be constructed per the
timing and threshold requirements outlined in the Village Six SPA Plan Public Facilities
Financing Plan.
Resolution 2002-022 -~'
Page 4
G. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN VILLAGE SIX CAN BE
JUSTIFIED ECONOMICALLY WITHIN THE PARAMETERS SET BY THE OTAY
RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND AT THE LOCATION PROPOSED
AND WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES
NEEDED AT SUCH PROPOSED LOCATION.
The location of proposed commemial development area in the Village Six SPA Plan is
consistent with the goals and policies of the GDP in that the Village Core is intended to serve the
residents of Village Six.
H. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND
ZONED 1N COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID
DEVELOPMENT.
The Village Six SPA plan is consistent with the approved plans and regulations
applicable to surrounding areas and, therefore, said development can be planned and zoned in
coordination and substantial compatibility with said development. The proposed Village Six
SPA Plan is consistent with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Chula Vista General
Plan, as amended.
