RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE OTAY
RANCH VILLAGE SIX SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA)
PLAN
WHEREAS, the property which is the subject matter of this resolution is identified as
Exhibit "A," attached hereto and described on Chula Vista Tract 02-03 and 02-05, and is
commonly known as Village Six ("Property"); and
WHEREAS, an application to amend the Village Six Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan
("Project") was filed with the City of Chula Vista Planning and Building Department on
February 18, 2002 by Otay Project, L.P. ("Applicant"); and
WHEREAS, the applicant requests to amend the Village Six Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) Plan to re-designate Neighborhood R-7a from SF-4 to RM-2 and reallocate 47 Dwelling
Units from Neighborhood R-9a to Neighborhoods R-7a and R-7b; and
WHEREAS, Village Six is located in the north-central portion of the Otay Valley Parcel,
south of the future extension alignment of Olympic Parkway, north of the future Birch Road, east
of the extension of La Media Road and west of the future SR-125; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk set the time and place for a hearing on the Project, and notice
of said heating, together with its purpose, was given by its publication in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City and its mailing to property owners within 500 feet of the exterior
boundaries of the property at least 10 days prior to the hearing; and
WHEREAS, this Project is considered a subsequent action in the program of
development evaluated under the Village Six SPA Plan Final EIR 98-01 (Final EIR 98-01); and
WHEREAS, the City's Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the Project and
has determined that the Project would not result in any new environmental impacts that were not
previously identified, nor would the Project result in a substantial increase in severity in any
environmental effects previously identified in the Final EIR 98-01. Only minor technical changes
or additions are necessary and none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or
supplemental EIR, as identified in Sections 15162 and 15163 exist; therefore, an addendum to
Final EIR 98-01 has been prepared in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164;
and
WHEREAS, the amendments to the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan conform to the
policies found in the Chula Vista General Plan and the Otay Ranch General Development Plan;
and

SCH #2001041033
PROJECT NA31E: Olay Ranch Village Six Sectional Plarming Area Plan
PROJECT LOCATION: City of Chula Vista
PROJECT APPLICA2qT: Olay Project L.P.
DATE: March 7, 2002
I. INTRODUCTION
This addendum has been prepared to provide additional information to the Final Second
Tier Environmental Impact Report 98-01 ("FE1R") for the Olay Ranch Village Six
Sectional P]arming Area Plan Project ("Project").
As the lead agency for the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act
("CEQA") (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.), the City of Chula Vista ("City") has
prepared and conducted an environmental analysis of the Project. A Notice of
Preparation was issued on April 5, 2001. A Draft Environmental Impact Report
("DEIR") was publicly circulated on September 28, 2001. After a 45-day public
comment period, the City prepared responses tu those comments and included them in the
FEIR. The City. Council approved the Project and certified the FEIR on January 22,
2002. The FEIR evaluates the environmental effects of the adoption of the Sectional
Planning Area ("SPA") Plan for Village Six and the amendment of the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan ("GDP"). Specifically, this amendment was for the
redesignation of Birch Road tu a six-lane major arterial between SR-125 and EastLake
Parkway. The FEIR also included an evaluation of two Conceptual Tentative Maps and
the use of an area as a church and private high school.
A previous addendum was prepared by the City of Chula Vista to address the mass
grading of fill material on the Olay Ranch ComCany property of the Village Six project
site. This fill material was extracted during drainage and roadway improvements on
0]3mqpic Parkx~,ay between SR-125 and the SDG&E easement and mass graded on the
Otay Ranch Company porlion of the Village Six project site, raising the site's elevation
approximately 3 to 8 feet. The addendum concluded that the mass grading for the
placement of fill on the Village Six site did not cause any new or more severe physical
impacts nor did it require any additional mitieation that was not already addressed in the
DEIR. Therefore, the analysis and conclusion~ presented in the FEIR did not change as a
result of the mass ~ading.
A modification to the SPA Plan for Otay Ranch Village Six has been proposed which
would permit the development of multi-family units in Neighborhood 7a. Figure 1 shows
the proposed tentative map for the Otay Ranch Company property on Village Six. This
addendum has been prepared to provide additional environmental information and
analysis concerning the proposed modification of the SPA Plan.
II. CEQA REQU1-R~MENTS
Sections 15162 through 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines discuss a lead agency's
responsibilities in handling new information that was not included in a project's final
environmental impact report ("ERR").
Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines provides:
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously
certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the
conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation ora subsequent EIR
have occurred.
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines provides:
(a) When an ERR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no
subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency
determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record,
one or more of the fo lowing:
I. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major
revisions of the previous ERR or negative declaration due to the
inx'olvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in lhe severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. Substantial changes occur w/th respect to the circumstances under which
'the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the
previous ErR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new
si~m~ificant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of
prex-iously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, wkich was not known and
could not ha;,e been 'known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the
time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative
decla-ation was adopted, shox~s any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed
in the [Final] EIR;
(B)Sig-aificant effects previously examined will be substantially more
severe than shown in the [Final] EER;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be
feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but the project
~ ~g~o~oo~.~opo~.,o ~ ~m~. FIGURE 1
~ ~l~ Proposed Tentative Map for the
o~o Otay Project L.P. Portion of Village Six
proponents decline lo adopt the mitigation measure or alternative;
or
(b) (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the [Final] EIR would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline
to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
In the event that one of these conditions would require preparation of a subsequent EIR
but "only minor additions or changes would be necessary to make the [Final] EIR
adequately apply to the project in the changed situation," the lead agency could choos4
instead to issue a supplement to the Final EIR. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15163, subd. (a).)
Thus, the City must consider under the standards articulated above whether there will be
previously undisclosed significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously disclosed impacts. (CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15162, 15163, 15164,
subd. (a).)
As the discussion below demonstrates, implementing the Project with the modifications
to the SPA Plan for Village Six would result in no new environmental impacts, or no
more severe impacts, than were disclosed in the FEIR for the Project. Therefore, it is
appropriate for the City to prepare an addendum pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, § 15164.
Section 15164 states that an addendum should include a "brief explanation of the
decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant Io Section 15162" and that the
explanation needs to be supported by substantial evidence. (CEQA Guidelines, § 15164,
subd_ (e).) The addendum need not be circulated for public review but may simply be
attached to the Final EIR. (Ibid.; CEQA Guidelines, § 15164, subd. (c).)
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has
prepared the following Addendum 1o the Final Second Tier Environmental Impact Report
for the olay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan.
III. PROJECT SETTING
The Village Six project area is located in the north-central portion of the Olay Valley
Parcel of the Olay Ranch General Development Plan. The Village Six SPA project area
includes approximately 386.4 acres and is bounded by the proposed alignments of
SR-t25 on ~he eas~, Olympic Parkway on the north, La Media Road on the west, and
Birch Road on the south. The VilIage Six SPA impact area as addressed in lhe EIR totals
442.7 acres. This includes 386.4 acres within the project area and 56.3 acres in two
borrow/storage areas. One borrow/sto[age area is east of the SR-125 aliemnent at the
northeastern comer of the site and the second is south of Birch Road in the-south central
pon/on of the site.
The property is mostly comprised of fallow fields, with intermittent dirt roads, disturbed
drainages, and a few fences. Recent use of the site includes ranching, grazing, dry
farming, and track farming activities. The project site is currently vacant. The land
sm. wounding the project area is also mostly undeveloped. The northern boundary of the
project site is Olyrnpic Parkway, which is under construction. Just north of the Olympic
Parkway construction, Village Five is also currently under construction.
IV. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Otay Project L.P. proposes to amend the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan to
modify the dwelling unit densities within neighborhoods R-Ta, To,and 9b. These changes
are reflected in Tentative Tract No. 02-05 and include the following:
1. A modification of the zoning of Neighborhood R-7a from SF4 (single family) to
RM2 (multi family) to permit the development of multi family homes in
Neighborhood R-Ta;
2. A modification of the boundary between Neighborhoods R-Ta and R-TO;
3. The transfer of 23 units from Neighborhood R-9b to Neighborhood R-7a; and
4. The transfer of 24 units from Neighborhood R-gb to Neighborhood R-TO.
This amendment proposes 941 single family and 1,291 multi family units, reflecting an
88-unit change in the residential mix. The revised land use designations for the Village
Six SPA Plan and neighborhood boundaries between Neighborhoods R-7a and R-To are
shown in Figure 2_
V. ANALYSIS
The proposed modifications to the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan addressed in this
addendum (and described above) would result in some changes to the Village Six project
that have the potential to result in new or different impacts than that which were
described in the FEIR for the SPA Plan. In all but one case, the changes to the project
would reduce the potential effects that were described in the FEIR. None of the proposed
changes to the Village Six SPA plan would result in either a change in significant impacts
or the adopted mitigation measures. A summary of the potential impacts due to the
modifications to the Village Six SPA plan are discussed below.
Land Use
The land use changes addressed in this addendum would have no effect on the impacts
and conclusions described in the Land Use section of the FEIR. The proposed SPA
amendment increases the number of multi-family units within the village core at a density
Ihat provides a transition between the higher density multi-family and the sin_ole-family
neighborhood to ~he west. The proposed modification to the SPA Plan ~vould be
consistent xvith the City of Chula Vista General Plan designations. The proposed
4
Proposed Site Utilization Plan
lbr the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan
amendment would also be consislent with the goals and policies of the Olay Ranch
General Development Plan (GDP) and the land use designation identified in the Village
Six SPA Plan as described in the FEIR. The modified zoning designations would not
result in any new land use compatibility issues and would not conflict with any applicable
management or conservation plans.
Population and Housing
The elimination of 88 single family units and the addition of 88 multi family units, as
proposed by the SPA Plan amendment, would not result in a change in the total number
of units in Village Six. In addition, the same population generation rate (3.0i
persons/unit) is used for both single family and multi family homes in the FEIR. As a
result, the anticipated population would remain the same and the proposed changes would
therefore, have no impact on the potential for exceeding area population and growth
projections.
Traffic
The Traffic Impact Analysis for Olay Ranch Village 6, prepared by Linscott, Law, &
Greenspan and dated September 20, 2001, establishes a traffic generation rate often trips
per unit per day for single-family homes and eight trips per unit per day for multi family
homes. Given the numbers above as provided in the FEIR, this proposed SPA
amendment would result in a total decrease of 176 trips per day.
Noise
The FEIR determined that residential development within the Village Six area would be
exposed to si~m~ificant impacts from roadway noise and requires mitigation measures to
reduce this impact to a less than significant level. The changes associated with the
proposed SPA amendment would not affect the noise determinations made in the FEIR.
The construction of multi family homes adjacent to Olympic Parkway in the area
originally designated for single family homes has the potential to place balconies
overlooking the roadway. It is the policy of the City of Chula Vista to require that
balconies be designed so that noise levels are below 65 dBA CNEL. The application of
noise mitigation measures 5.12-1 through 5.12-5, as detailed in the FEIR, including the
requirement for multiple story buildings with balconies, would ensure that there is no
si~ificant noise impact.
Public Services and Utilities
in addition to traffic, several other issues would have a decreased effect as a result of the
propsse, d SPA Plan amendment. The environmental issues of sewage generation, potable
water demand, and recycled water demand, as presented in the FEIR, are also contingent
upon the number of single family and multi family units. According to the FEI]~, single-
family homes have a higher generation rate for sewage generation, and potable water than
do multi family homes.
Se~*'cr: As noted in the McMillin-Otay Ranch l"illage Six Grax'it), Se~a'er Study and the
Ovem.iew of Sewer Sera,ice for O~ay .Ranch Company k'illage S&, the sewage generation
rate is 265 gallons per day (gpd) per unit for single-family homes and 199 gallons per day
(g'pd) per unit for multi family homes. The proposed SPA. amendment would result in a
decrease of approximately 5,808 gpd in sewage generation as compared to the adopted
Village Six SPA Plan. This represents a one percent decrease in the total amount of
anticipated sewage generation for the entire Village Six project. The degree of-this
reduction is negligible. Therefore, the impacts associated with this issue would remain'
unchanged from those presented in the FEIR.
lI~ater: According Io the Subarea Master Plan for Otay Ranch Villages Six, SeYen, and
Planning Area !2, Volume l: Conceptual Facilities Plan and the McMillin Village Six
[fater Facilities Plan prepared by John Powell and Associates, the potable water
generation rate is 420 gpd per unit for single-family homes and 294 gpd per unit for multi
family homes. The proposed SPA amendment would result in an overall decrease in
water use by approximately 11,088 gpd decrease in the potable water generation would
result from the proposed SPA Plan modification. This represents a 1.3 percent decrease in
the total amount of anticipated sewage generation for all of Village Six. The degree of
this reduction is negligible. Therefore, the impacts associated with xvater resources would
remain unchanged from those presented in the FEIR.
Recycled water: The issue of recycled water is based upon the number of acres of multi
family use. Since single-family homes do not use recycled water, the modifications to the
SPA plan would result in an increased demand for recycled water. According to the
FEIR, multi family units have a recycled water generation rate of 2,232 gallons per day
(~pd) per irrigaled acre. The proposed addition of 1.8 acres of multi family units results
in a 4,018 gpd per irrigated acre increase in the recycled water demand. This increase
represents a 3.3 percent rise in the recycled water demand for the entire SPA Plan area.
Th/s increase is negligible. As stated in the FEIR, the use of recycled water has been
p]armed for by the Otay Water District. Implementation of mitigation measures 5.13.2:1
th.rough 5.I3_2-3 of the FEIR reduces the impacts on recycled water to below a level of
significance. The proposed change from single family to multi family units would not
affect the overall conclusions and mitigation measures presented in the FEIR.
Demands for the public services used by Village Six, including law enforcement, parks,
and libraries, are projected based upon population and student generation rates are based
on lhe total number of units. Since the FEIR used the same population generation rate
(3 01 persons/unit) for single family and multi family homes and the total number of
units remains unchanged with the proposed changes to the SPA Plan, the conclusions
concerning these public service issues would not vary from ~hose made in the FEIR.
The pr. oposed modification to the Village Six SPA Plan would not result in any-impacts
to other issues that were addressed in the FEIR. The modifications to the Villa~,e Six SPA
Plan would change the designs for Neighborhood R-Ta, 7b, and 9b. The cha~ges would
increase the number of multi-family units within the village core to a density that
provides a transition between the higher density multi-family and the single-family
neighborhood to the west. The footprint of the project site would remain the same and the
changes in design would not result in a substantial change to the drainage pattern of the
site, or in any new impacts to previously unidentified geophysical, agricultural, or
paleontological conditions as analyzed in the FEIR. Therefore, the impacts to landform
alteration and aesthetics, 'geology and soils, paleontology, agriculture, water quality/and
air quality would not be affected due Io the proposed SPA amendment..As a result, the
modifications to the Village Six SPA Plan would result in no changes to the significance
of the impacts or mitigation measures identified in the FEIR.
VI. CONCLUSION
The proposed modification to the Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Plan would not cause any
new or more severe physical impacts nor require any additional mitigation measures that
were not already addressed in the FEIR. As such, the analysis and conclusions presented
in the FEIR are not changed by the proposed action.
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based upon the above
discussion, I hereby find that the revisions to the proposed Project will result in only
minor technical changes or additions to the Project, and that none of the conditions for
preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR, as identified by Sections 15162 and 15163,
exist. Therefore, the preparation of this Addendum is appropriate to make the FEIR
adequate under CEQA.

Comments: Development of the Village Six Sectional Plannin~ Area (SPA) Plan was evaluated in
the Final Second Tier EIR 98-01 for the Pray RanCh Villa~oe Six SPA Plan (FEIR) that
was certified on January 22, 2002. The SPA amendment proposed here would modify
the zoning on Neighborhood R-7a from SF4 (single family) to RM2 (multi family),
permitting the development of multi-family units in R-7a. The proposed project also
modifies the boundary between Neighborhoods R-7a and R-7b to realloch~e 47 multi- -
family units from Neighborhood R-9b to Neighborhoods R-7a and R-7b (23 units to R-
7a and 24 units to R-Tb). This proposed SPA amendment increases the number of
muln-family units within the village core al a density that provides a transition between
the higher density multi-family and the single-family neighborhood to the west. The
Vill2ge Six SPA Plan approved on Janua~' 22, 2002 authorized 1,029 single family
and 1.203 multi family units. This amendment proposes 941 single family and 1,291
multi family units, reflecting an 88 unit change in the residential mix. It should be
noted that, according to the FEIR, the original total of 1,029 single family units
includes 146 additional single family homes that would be constructed should a high
school not be built in Neighborhood R-11/S-2.
The City of Chu]a Vista General Plan designates Olay Ranch Village Six as fi low-
medium density village residential area with three to six dwelling units per acre,
distributed around a village core which includes higher density single- and multi-family
residential use, an elementary school site, a mixed-nsc site, and a neighborhood park
site. The proposed modification to the SPA Plan would be consistent with the City of
Chula Vista General Plan designations. The proposed amendment would also be
consistent with the goals and policies of the Olay Ranch General Development Plan
(GDP) and the land use designation identified in the Village Six SPA Plan as described
in the FEIR. The modified zoning designations would be compatible with adjacent
land uses. The FEIR also concluded that agricultural impacts would be reduced to a
less than significant level by implementation of the Agricultural Plan in the Village Six
SPA Plan. The proposed changes would not disrupt an established community because
the area is currently undeveloped.

Comments: The elimination of 88 single family units and the addition of 88 multi family units, as
proposed by the SPA Plan amendment, would not result in a chan~e in the total
number of units in Village Six. In addition, the same population generation rate (3.01
persDns/unit) is given for both single family and multi family homes in the FEIR. As a
result, the antic/paled population would remain the same and the proposed changes
would therefore, have no impact on the potential for exceeding area population and
growth projections. Since the project site is currently vacant, the changes associated
· with the proposed amendment would not result in the displacement of existing housing.

Comments: The modification to the SPA Plan for Village Six would not result in an2,, previously
unidentified geophysical impacts or require new any mitigation measures. No major
geologic conditions would constrain the development of the site as proposed in the
modified SPA Plan. Implementation of Mitigation Measures 5.5-I throuah 5.5-6 in the
FEIR would reduce any potential geophysical impacts to below a level o~ significance.

According lo ~e San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), traffic trip
generation rates are calculated to be 10 trips per unit per day for single family homes
and 8 trips per unit per day for multi family homes. ~e proposed SPA amendment

would result in approximately 176 less vehicle trips than the adopted Villaee Six SPA
Plan. Due lo the reduction in vehicle trips, air qualiD' impacts would ~be sliehtlv
reduced from those previously addressed in the FEIR. Short-terrn conslrucfion impacts

Comments: According to SANDAG. single family units generate an estimated 10 lr/ps per unit per
da_,,' and multi family homes generate an estimated 8 trips per unit per day. The
proposed SPA amendments for Village Six calls for the elimination of 88 sinele family
homes and the creation of 88 multi family homes. The proposed SPA amendment would
result in approximately 176 less vehicle trir~s than the adopted Village Six SPA Plan.
As a result, all traffic-related impacts anaty~zed in the FEIR are expected to be slightly
less xxfth the implementation of the proposed SPA amendment. Other traffic/circulation
impacts associated with the proposed modification to the SPA Plan for Village Six
would not differ fi-om those presenled in the FEI]~..

Comments: The proposed amendment to SPA Plan for Village Six would not conflict with any
adopted energy conservation plans or use any non-renewable resources in a wasteful
and inefficient manner. Therefore, no impacts to energy and mineral resources are
anticipated with implementation of the modifications to the Village Six SPA Plan.
VIII. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve: Poten'dallySignificam Le~ than

Comments: The FE[R did not identify any public safety (hazards) impacts associated with the
proposed development of the Village Six area. The amendment to the SPA Plan would
transfer the density in an area already designed for development. The modifications to
the SPA Plan would not result in or interfere with any public safety plans, or create or

e) Other governmental sen'ices? [] [] [] []
Comments: Demands for fire protection, police protection, maintenance of public facilities, and
other governmental services are based on the projected population esfirmtes. Demands
for schools are based on the number of units. Since the FEIR used the same population
generation rate (3.01 persons/unit) for single family and multi family homes and the
total number of units does not change with the amendment, the projected demands for
these services would not change as a result of the proposed project modification.
the City's 77*reshold Standards ?
As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seven Threshold
Standards.
a) Fire/EMS [] [] [] []
The City's Threshold Standards requires that tim and medical unils must be able to respond
to calls within seven minutes or less in 85 percent of the cases and within five minutes or
less in 75 percent of the cases. The City of Chula Vista has delermined that this threshold
standard would be met because fire services would be provided in aocordanoe with the
Otay Ranch Fire Master Plan and EMS Master Plan.
Comments: The FEIR states that potential impacts to fire protection and emergency medical
senfices would be mitigated by compliance with the Fire Station Master Plan and
payment of fees. Since the population generation rate and the total number of units
would remain the same, the proposed amendments to the Village Six SPA Plan would
not result in substantial changes in the abil}ty to deliver adequate services to the project
area_ Therefore, no significant impacts to fire protection and emergency medical
services are anticipated with the proposed changes.
The Findings of Fact adopted for the FEIR found that the Village Six SPA Plan and the
Otay Ranch Village Six SPA Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) would meet
projected demands for fire and EMS services. No additional impacts to fire and EMS
services are anticipated.
b) Police [] [] [] []
The CiD,'s Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84 percent of
Priority I calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all
Priority 1 calks of 4.5 mmmes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10 percent of
Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all
PrioriB, 2 calls of 7 minutes or less.
Comments: The FEIR states that potential impacts to law enforcement services would be mitigated
by compliance with the Law Enforcement Services Master Plan for Otay Ranch and
payment of mitigation fees. Since the population generation rate and the total number
of units would remain the same, the proposed amendments to the Village Six SPA Plan
would not result in substantial changes in the ability to deliver'-adequate taw
enforcement services to the project area. No significant impacts to taw enforcement
services are anticipated with the proposed changes.
The Findings of Fact adopted for the FEIR found that the Village Six SPA Plan, and
the PFFP and the development impact fee program would meet projected demands for
law enforcement sen'ices. No additional impacts to law enforcement ser',,ices are
anticipated.

c) Traffic [] [] [] []
The Ci~'s Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOg) "C" or better, with the exception that LOS "D" may occur during the
peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Inlersections west of l-g0$ are not
to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS "E" or
"F" during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway
ramps are exempted from this Slandard.
Comments: According to SANDAG, the trip generation rates for single family and multi family
homes are 8 trips per unit and 10 trips per unit, respectively. As a result, the proposed
SPA amendment would result in the generation of approximately 176 less total trips.
As a result, no additional traffic impacts associated with the proposed SPA Plan
modification are anticipated. The application of traffic mitigation measures $. 10-12
through 5. l 0-18, as presented in the FEIR, would be required for the modified project
and would reduce the pOlential for exceeding the City's Threshold Standards for traffic
to a less than significant level·

Comments: The proposed amendment of the Village Six SPA Plan would not subsmmially aher the
drainage over thal analyzed in the FEIR. The modifications to the SPA Plan would not

Comments: Sewage generation rams as listed in the FEIR are 265 gallons per day (gpd) per unit for
single family units and 199 gpd per unit for multi family units. The proposed SPA
amendment would result in an estimated 5,808 gpd decrease in sewage demand. It
should be noted that the projected sewer demand for the entire SPA as presented in the
FEIR is 581,692 gpd. T'ne 5,808 gpd decrease in the sewage demand resulting from
the proposed SPA Plan modifications represents approximately a 1.0 pement decrease
in the total sewage demand. Therefore, the amendment to the SPA Plan is not
anticipated to cause any additional impacts to sewage fiows and volumes·

g) Water [] [] []
The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and U'ansmission
facilitie~ are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality standards
are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project will comply
with this Threshold Standard.
Comments: The proposed SPA amendment is calculated to result in a decrease in the total daily
usage of potable water and an increase in the total daily usage of recycled water.
According to the FEIR, the potable water generation rate is 420 gpd per unit for single
family homes and 294 gpd per unit for multi family homes. The proposed SPA
amendment is calculated to result in an 11,088 gpd decrease in the potable water
demand. This reduction represents a 1.31% decrease in the SPA-wide potable water
usage as projected in the FEIR_
The proposed SPA Plan amendment would result in an increase in the generation rate
for recycled water. According to the FEIR, single family units do not use recycled
water. Therefore, the addition of 88 multi family homes would result in a 4,018 gpd
per acre increase over the 1.8 acre-total area containing these homes. This increase
represents a 2.00 :'c increase in the SPA-wide demand for recycled water as projected
10
in the FEIR.
The increase in the demand for recycled water is negligible. As stated in the FEIR, the
use of recycled water has been planned for by the Otay Waler District· Implementation
of rrdtigation measures 5.13.2-1 through 5.13.2-3, as listed in the FEIR would reduce
the impacts on recycled water io below a level of significance.

Comments: Public sera, ice demands were analyzed in the FEIR. The proposed modification to the
SPA Plan for Village Six would not require new systems or substantial alterations to
any of the planned service systems. The population generation rates would remain the
same with the proposed changes and the project site would continue to be served by
utili .fy and service system infrastructure provided through the development of Village -
Six. No additional impacts to utilities and service systems would be anticipated.

Comments: Implementation of mitigation measures 5.4-1 through 5.4-3 of the FEIR would reduce
any potential impacts to cultural resources to below a level of significance. The proposed revisions to
the project would not result in any new impacts. As a result, with mitigation, cultural resource impacts
would remain below a level of significance.
