ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE ��QTJIRED YES NO X )
A. BACKGROUND
1 . On August 15, 1978 the City Council adopted the E1 Rancho del Rey Specific Plan/
General Development Plan, and enacted several regulations into interim ordinance. These
regulations substantially amend the "Specific Plan" and "P-C" (Planned Community) zon�l
provisions of Chula Vista.
2. The interim ordinances in question were enacted for a 90 day period and therefore
must be replaced by permanent amendments to the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The attached
draft ordinances are submitted as this replacement.
3. An Initial Study (IS-79-32) of possible adverse environmental impacts of the project
was conducted by the Environmental Review Committee on December 7, 1978. The Committee
concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and recommended that the
Planning Commission adopt the Negative Declaration.
g, RNP,LYS i S
1 . During the past several weeks the Planning Department, in conjunction with the
City Attorney's office, has revised, modified, and restated the terms and provisions of
the interim ordinances. The changes to the text of these ordinances, however, are primarily
syntactical , and the proposed amendments which embody those changes do not alter the sub-
stantive content of the interim legislation adopted by the Council on August 15, 1978.
2. The said changes have expunged the ambiguities, redundancies, and confusing language
of the interim ordinances. Of greater significance, these changes have established a textual
order which should promote and facilitate the understanding, use, and implementation of the
proposed permanent legislation. -

functioning as the "constitution of city planning. " Specific plans,
as intermediate level plans, must conform to the general plan, and
systematically carry out the intent thereof.
D. Findings of no significant impact
l. Since the project is not site specific, there will not be
any adverse impact on the physical environment.
2 , The proposed amendments are notinconsistent with the General
Plan and the enactment would expand this city' s intermediate and
short range planning capabilities . This enactment should also
enable Chula Vista to better manage its growth, development and
conservation.
3 . There aren' t any impacts anticipated which could intereact
to create a substantial adverse effect on the environment.
4 . The project will not cause a significant increase in traffic
or related emissions nor is any health hazard anticipated to occur.
