The proposed zones in the Village 3 Planned Community District Regulations comply
with the CVGP and GDP land use designations.
The Project is consistent with and implements the CVGP and GDP by establishing
developable parcels, public improvements and public facilities that will create a
mixed-use urban pedestrian village with a village core that contains complementary
land uses, including community purpose facilities, a public school and parks, and
residential neighborhoods that offer a variety of housing types and densities. The
Mixed -Use Village Core is comprised of integrated commercial, residential and office
uses, encouraging residents to utilize alternative modes of transportation such as
pedestrian sidewalks and trails, and bicycle lanes.

B. THE SPA PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY
SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREAS.
The Village 3 SPA Plan, as amended, will maintain existing provisions and
requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the Project prior to or
concurrent with the need for said public facilities.
C. THE OTAY RANCH VILLAGE 3 SPA PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USES, RESIDENTIAL
ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The proposed modifications to land use and development standard provisions within
the Project Site have been fully analyzed and will not adversely affect the circulation
system and overall land uses as previously envisioned in the Otay Ranch_ GDP and
Otay Ranch Village 3 SPA Pian. The existing infrastructure (sewer, water, public
services and facilities) has been determined to be adequate to serve the proposed
Project, as described in the Supplemental Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP).
Additionally, an amended Tentative Map (TM) Drainage Study (Hunsaker - February
2016), Otay Ranch Village 3 Trip Generation Review (Chen -Ryan — July 2016),
Village 3 Amendment Water Evaluation (Dexter Wilson — June 2016), Village 3
Amendment Sewer Evaluation (Dexter Wilson — June 2016), and Village 3 Fiscal
Impact Analysis Update (DPFG — August 2016) have been prepared, reviewed and
approved by the City. These technical analyses supplement the technical reports
associated with the original Project approvals and 2014 PFFP and demonstrate that
none of the proposed changes to the Project result in changes to Mitigation Measures,
Conditions of Approval or Thresholds established in the 2014 PFFP.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based on the findings above, the City Council hereby
approves the Village 3 SPA Plan as amended and shown in Exhibit 2, attached hereto and
incorporated into this Resolution subject to the conditions set forth below:
