Reid, Environmental Review Coordinator�'' F ROM: ., SUBJECT: IS-76-41 Rancho San Miguel (Update) A, Background The attached Negative Declaration is an update of a previous document which was prepared in 1976 . The project as presently envisioned whould result in a less significant impact than the previous development plan for the property. B. Recommendation � Recommend that the Planning Commission and City Co�ncil find that the revised project will not result in any significant environmental impacts and adopt the attached Negative Declaration. tV��aA�'tVE C��E�LA�A�'iC��V PROJECT TITLE: Rancho San Miguel - Project Location: 357 Hilltop Dr. Project Proponent: L & M Professional Consultants , Inc. C�1SE NO. IS-79-41 (Update) DATE• January 11 ; 1979 A. Project Setting The project site is located about 630 ' east of Hilltop Dr. between F St. and G St. Access is provided by a narrow paved driveway. There are numerous trees on the site , they are primarily near the center and southwest portion of the property. The northern and eastern portions of the property appear to have been used for agricultural purposes in the past . The trees include many citrus, pine, palm and various ornamental species . All of these are introduced; no native vegetation exists on-site. A landscape architect has usrveyed the site and determined which of the trees are most significant and should be retained. On the 22nd of July, 1976 , an archaeological survey was conducted on the 10, 91 acre parcel . A total of l. 5 manhours was expended during the field aspect of the survey, and an addtional ten hours were involved in the preparation of the report. All work on this proj2ct was accomplished by Charles S. Bull , Supervisory Archaeologist for RECON. He surveyed the entire accessible area, approximately 70 percent of the project site. The remaining portion of the project area is presently under structures or under some direct use. As a result o.f this survey, no signs of archaeological significance were discovered. This can be explained in several ways . The best of these explainations is that other areas provided a more environ- mentally suitable and attractive place for occupation. This , combined with the historic disturbance of the natural environmental conditions would explain the lack of prehistoric , and pro--historic resources. The area to the east of the subject property is traversed by numerous faults which comprise the La Nacion Fault Zone . The faults that comprise this zone are mainly the La Nacion and Sweetwater Faults � and are potentially capable of producing ground rupture and strong ground motion within the adjacent area, although they are at present considered potentia�_ly active . Two trenches were advanced on the site extending 110 ft. and 200 ft . in length to a depth of 17 ft. in an east to west direction across the area of 'the site where a , � " , -2- fault was thought to exist. The encountered strata were continuously observed and recorded by the engineering geologist and any irregularities were investigated. The two trenches produced no irregularities in the geology of the strata such as shear zones or displacements that might indicate the presence of a fault. Each trench confirmed the existance of the established sequence of soil and rock strata. Continuous , horizontal layers of sediment , soil and rock formations were observed . No ground water table was encountered. The area of the project is considered to be underlain by stable soils which do not have a history of landslide activity associated with them. Therefore if the soils are properly drained , graded and compacted, and any modified slopes are analyzed for stability, there should be no forseeable danger of ground failure of this type. The form of ground failure known as liquifaction usually accompanies earthquakes in loose , saturated , sandy soiis . Liquifaction can occur if the following factors all exist: 1) shallow water table ; 2) generally cohesionless material (loose sand or silt) ; and 3) moderate or major earthquake . In the project these conditions do not presently exist. The water table is at a considerable depth and the subsoils are somewhat cohesionless but dense. The urban support system, as is the case in many areas of the City, is being stressed insofar as schools and park facilities are concerned. Rosebank Elementary School had an attendance of 499 with a capacity of 476 , Hilltop Jr. High has a cap�city of 1440 and a fall enrollment of 1401. The high school has a capacity of 1480 and an enrollment of 1592 . The project is located within a park service district which has no existing facilities but has a current need for 17 . 2 acres of park land. B. Project Description The project consists of a 19 unit planned unit development. 18 of the units would be new and one existing residence would be retained . The existing tennis court and associated facilities would be retained as common recreational facilities. Access to thcl�°ulation. could be via a private road 50 wide and provide two way A private 28 ' road (2�' curb to curb) would provide circulation and access on the project site. Each house would have a two car garage and guest parking would be provided. The applicant proposes to rezone the property from R--E to R-E-PUD, submit a planned unit development and subdivision map. The resultant project would have a density of about 1. 7 DU/AC. The Fire Marshal has reserved comments concerning access and water supply until review of the tentative subdivision map and planned unit development. < -3- The es�-imat�-d population of the project is about 65 , including about 15 elementary school students , 6 jr. high students and 4 high school , students. , About 209 auto tr_ips would be generated by the project. Hilltop Dr . near the project currently has an ADT of about 3400 . . About 12 , 600 cu. yrds of cut grading and a like amount of fill is proposed. This will result in cut and fill slopes of up to 25 ' in height. C. Compatibility with zoning and plans The project conforms to the existing R-E zoning of the property and the low density residential land use designation of the General Plan. D. Zdentification of environmental effects Archaeology/Biology Issues concerning the potential for archaeological resources and geological hazards in this area have been resolved through the preparation of technical reports. Aesthetics The site contains many mature trees , of those found by the landscape architect to be healthy and otherwise worthy of retaining, only two will be removed. Urban Support System There are deficiencies in the urban support system but no substantial impact should result. This project is a PUD with its own recreational facilities, any impact on public parkland will therefore be minimal. Due to the scale of the project , the impact on the 'school ' systems will not result in a substantial exacerbation of the existing over- crowded condition. -�- g, Fi�dir.Gs ld surveys of the site have concluded that the site is void of any archaeological resource or geologic hazard. The site contains no biological resources which are rare, endangered or endemic . The urban support system will not be substantially impacted by the project because of its scale and amenitics . All direct impacts can be fully mitigated through standard development regulations. The project does not involve any facility which could be growth inducing . 2. The project conforms to a11 long term goals of the City of Chula Vista and will not therefore achieve ,any short term goal to the disadvantage of long term goals . 3, The impacts of this project are so trivial to preclude any cumulative impacts. 4 . There are no substantial hazards in the project setting nor part of the proposed project which could significantly impact human beings . G.

NOLJ THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOIdS: 1 . The Commission adopts the Negative Declaration on IS-76-41 and finds that the proposed project will have no significant adverse environmental impact• lic 2. From facts presented to the Commission , the Commission finds that pub necessity, convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice require the change of prezoning for 10.9 acres from R-E to R-E-PUD. 3: The findings of fact in support of said determination are as follows: a. The PUD Modifying District is designed to accommodate attached or detached single family residential developments which share recrea- tion uses and open space. The attachment of the modifying district will insure the preservation of certain existing amenities (landscaping and architecture) which exist on this site. b. The attachment of the PUD Modifying District will not affect the density of the underlying R-E zone of approximately two dv�elling units per acre which is in conformance with the General Plan designa- tion for the area. 4. The Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that said change of prezoning be approved. -, . _ _.. ____. 5. That this resolution be transmitted to the City Counci .
