THE SPA PLAN'S PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS, AS AMENDED, ARE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE OTAY RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN AND ITS SEVERAL ELEMENTS. 2 Attachment 13 The City Council finds that the proposed amendments to the Village 3 SPA Plan's Planned Community District Regulations are in conformance with the elements of the City of Chula Vista General Plan and associated regulatory documents and with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, 1. Land Use and Transportation General Plan General IDev Plan SPA Plan Residential Medium Medium Density Residential Single Family 4 (SF -4) — permits densities < 1 I units/acre; Residential Multi -Family One (RM -1) — permits densities of 11-18 units/acre including small lot SF, alley homes, duplexes, townhouses, rowhouses, courtyard/clusters, and stacked flats Residential Medium Medium High Density Residential Multi -Family Two High Residential (RM -2) — permits densities >18 units/acre Mixed Use Mixed Use Mixed Use/Residential (MU -1) Residential —neighborhood commercial with residential above Professional & Office Office Office (0) — office and flexible Commercial use buildings Industrial Research & Limited Industrial Industrial (I) — industrial; light manufacturing, warehousing, flexible use buildings, public utilities, limited restaurant/retail/office oriented use Open Space Open Space Open Space 1 (OS -1) permits developed or usable open space and park uses, may include naturalized open space: Open Space 2 (OS -2) pen -nits natural, undisturbed and/or restored open space which is part of the Otay Ranch Preserve Parks & Recreation Parlcs & Recreation Parks (P) permits allowable open space and park uses including community parks; neighborhood parks, pedestrian parks, town squares and private parks Public & Quasi Public & Quasi Public Community Purpose Facility Public I (CPF) The proposed project is consistent with the CVGP and GDP land use designations. It contains all the requisite land uses in accordance with the Otay Ranch Village 3 General Plan Land Use Diagram. The zones in the Project's Planned Community District Regulations are consistent with the GDP land use designations, as shown in the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP Land Use Plan. 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 Attachment 13 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. The Project has been designed to include a transportation system that complies with the requirements of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan, Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Otay Ranch Village 3 North and a Portion of Village 4 SPA Plan. The transportation system includes a hierarchy of streets, each providing accommodations for pedestrian walkways and bicycle ways. Reduced lane widths will enhance pedestrian comfort and safety in the Village Core, -and-Mixed-Use Residential districts. The construction of the transportation system will be phased in accordance with the Village 3 SPA's Public Facilities Financing Plan (PEFP), such that the development of the circulation system will precede planned growth and maintain acceptable levels of service, as required by the City's Growth Management Program. 1. Economic Development The Project will contribute to the economic base of the City by providing a mixed use Village Core that will provide for a range of Single and Multi- family residential product types that will enhance the image and appearance of the Otay Ranch community and will benefit the local economy. The development of a business park and office components provide a strong employment base along with a mixed-use commercial/residential area. Approval of the Project will help achieve the General Plan objectives that seek to promote a variety of job and housing opportunities to improve the City's jobs/housing balance, provide a diverse economic base, and encourage the growth of small businesses. 2. Housiniz The Project will provide a variety of housing types, including single -and multi -family residential home ownership opportunities, as well as affordable housing opportunities, as required by the Affordable Housing Plan prepared for the Project. The Project has been conditioned to require that the Applicant enter into an agreement to provide affordable housing prior to the approval of the first Final Map. Thus the Project is consistent with the Housing Element of the City's General Plan by providing additional opportunities for high-quality, market -rate single-family residential home ownership in the southeastern portion of the City. 3. Public Facilities and Services 4 Attachment 13 The project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the project concurrent with the demand for those services. A Supplemental PFFP has been prepared to analyze the demand generated by the Project, and the phasing needs created by the Project. - Schools - To fulfill educational needs of students residing in Village 3, an elementary school site of approximately 8.3 gross acres has been reserved as described in the PFFP for acquisition by the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The 2016 Project maintains the same mix of single family, multi- family and mixed use dwelling units as authorized in the 2014 SPA and therefore the Chula Vista Elementary School District would be able to accommodate the number of students generated by the Project - the existing schools would not be adversely impacted by the approval of the Project. Sewer - The -Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater services area. Sewer capacity needs for the Project, in conjunction with long-term growth in the area, were analyzed in the 2014 PFFP, and a supplement to the prior evaluation was prepared based on the 2016 SPA Plan. Overall, the 2016 Project would result in a 2.8% decrease of wastewater generated. Sewer capacity will be available to serve the Project subject to the PFFP requirements, which are included as Conditions of Approval for the Project. Based on these requirements, no adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will occur as a result of the Project. Parks - The Project has been conditioned to dedicate parkland for a 7.5 net - acre Neighborhood Park and approximately 4.7 net -acres of Community Park, pursuant to the PFFP. The Project maintains the same mix of single family detached and multi -family attached dwelling units as authorized in the 2014 SPA Plan and therefore generates the same demand for public parks. However, because the Project may ultimately construct fewer units than authorized (1,597 units are authorized, but only 1,270 of those units have been allocated. The remaining 327 unallocated units may be developed at a later date or transferred to another village), the demand for public park land based on the decreased build -out of Village 3 has been prepared. Should the unallocated units be built in Village 3, a new map would be required, and parkland obligations and other impacts would be fulfilled at such time. The Project must comply with the requirements and FEIR Mitigation Measures identified in the 2014 PFFP. Services - The Project has been conditioned to ensure that all necessary public facilities and services will be available to serve the Project concurrent with the demand for those services. The City Engineer, Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the proposed revisions to the Village 3 SPA Plan for conformance with City safety policies and have determined that the proposal generates the same demand and therefore continues to meet those standards. Project construction will be required to comply with the 5 Attachment 13 applicable California Green Building Standards, the City's Green Building Standards and the .City's Energy Efficiency Ordinance in affect at the time of building permit issuance, ensuring energy-efficient homes will be developed. 6. Environmental The Project FEIR-13-01 addressed the goals and policies of the Environmental Element of the General Plan and found development of this site to be consistent with these goals and policies. Only minor technical changes or additions to the FEIR are necessary as a result of the SPA amendment, and none of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent document -have occurred; -therefore, -the -.Development Services Director has caused the preparation of an Addendum to FEIR 13-01 for consideration. 7. Growth Management The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element requirements according to the Supplemental PFFD that has been prepared as required by the Growth Management Ordinance. The PFFP requirements have been included in the Project's Conditions of Approval. B. THE SPA PLAN'S PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS, AS AMENDED, WILL PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS. The Village 3 SPA Plan's Planned Community District Regulations, as amended, will maintain existing provisions and requirements to implement the CVGP for the East Area Plan, promote the orderly planning of the Otay Ranch GDP area, and provide the social, physical and economic advantages resulting from comprehensive and orderly planned use of land resources. C. THE SPA PLAN'S PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT REGULATIONS; AS AMENDED, WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION, OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. The Planned Community District Regulations for Village 3 are designed to provide compatible development with surrounding communities, establishing conditions which will enable the SPA to exist in harmony within the larger Otay Ranch community.
