0005 TO SUBDIVIDE A 7.5 -ACRE SITE LOCATED AT
LYNNDALE PLACE INTO 14 SINGLE-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL LOTS
WHEREAS, on May 18, 2015 duly verified applications for a Tentative
Subdivision Map (PCS -15-0005, Chula Vista Tract No. 15-0005), and Initial Study (IS -
15 -0001), were filed with the City of Chula Vista Development Services Department by
Lynndale Place, LLC ("Applicant" and "Owner"); and
WHEREAS, Applicant requests approval of a Tentative Map to subdivide 7.5
acres into 14 single family residential lots, identified as Bonita Ridge Estates (Project)
on said project site; and
WHEREAS, the area of land that is the subject of this Resolution is an existing

WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista Planning Commission reviewed and
considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND IS -15-0001) and associated
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and Tentative Map (PCS -15-
0005).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chula Vista Planning
Commission does hereby find and determine as follows:
1. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
That the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista, in the exercise of its
independent judgment, as set forth in the record of its proceedings, considered the Initial
Study of the Project conducted by the Director of Development Services for compliance
with the CEQA, and has determined that the Project could result in significant effects on
the enviromrient. However, revisions to the Project made by or agreed to by the
Applicant would avoid the effects -or mitigate- the -effects to a point where clearly no
significant effects would occur; therefore, the Development Services Director has cause
the preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS -15-0001.
Notwithstanding the fact that no Mitigation Measures are being deleted, and as a result of
additional Wildlife Agency coordination and revision to the technical report to refine the
mitigation measures for maritime succulent scrub and snake cholla, Mitigation Measure
BIO -1 was revised to include a provision that would allow the Applicant, as an
alternative to restoring in-kind habitat, to purchase credits from an upland mitigation
bank, or make payment into an established Wildlife Agency -approved in -lieu fee
program within the City of Chula Vista to meet Mitigation Measure BIO -1. The
Planning Commission finds that this revision is equivalent or more effective in mitigating
or avoiding potential significant effects and that it in itself will not cause any potentially
significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that this
revision also allows an additional option for the Applicant to meet Mitigation Measure
BIO -1 and is consistent with the provision of CEQA Guideline's section 15074.1.
That the Planning Commission of the City of Chula Vista, in the exercise of their
independent review and judgment as set forth in the record of its proceedings, considered
Mitigated Negative Declaration, IS -15-0001 and the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program, in the form presented, which has been prepared in accordance with
requirements of the CEQA and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of
Chula Vista and does hereby adopt the same.
IL PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
Record of the proceedings of the Planning Commission at their public hearing on August
9, 2017, including their vote upon the Planning Commission Resolution recommending
approval, along with any relevant comments, are hereby incorporated into the record of
this proceeding. These documents, along with any documents submitted to the decision
makers, shall comprise the entire record of the proceedings for any CEQA claims.

III. WAIVER OF PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN
Pursuant to Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) 19.09.080, the Planning Commission
hereby finds that the requirement for a Public Facilities Financing Plan is hereby waived
because the Project is infill development located in a developed portion of the City where
adequate public facilities exist or will be provided concurrent with development of the
Project Site, therefore, there are no public service, facility or phasing needs that warrant
the preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan.
MIR ATIL4110013
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning
Commission finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein for the
Project, is in conformance with the elements of the City's General Plan, based on the
following:
1. Land Use and Circulation
The General Plan land use designation is Residential Low (0-3 du/ac), which results
in a maximum yield of 23 dwelling units on the site. The Project proposes 14 lots,
which is consistent with the General Plan. The proposed Project will be developed at
a density of less than 2 dwelling units per acre, which is within the allowable density
and permitted number of dwelling units.
Project -related traffic generation has been analyzed and will not adversely affect the
road segments and intersections in the surrounding area, such as Lynnwood Drive and
Bonita Road. The Project has direct frontage on Lynndale Lane, which is a public
street located in and maintained by the County of San Diego. Projects proposed for
the eastern Chula Vista area are also required to pay the Eastern Transportation
Development Impact fee prior to building permit issuance, to pay their share of costs
associated with future road construction in the area.
2. Economic Development
The Project will provide new, high-quality, energy-efficient single-family homes that
will enhance the image and appearance of the neighborhood, and create jobs related
to construction of the homes that will benefit the local economy. Approval of the
Project will help achieve 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.
3. Public Facilities and Services
The Project Site is located in the attendance area of the Halecrest Elementary School,
within the boundaries of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. The Project is
PC Resolution PCS -15-0005
August 9, 2017
Page No. 4
also within the attendance area of Bonita Vista Middle and Bonita Vista High
Schools, within the Sweetwater Union High School District. Both school districts
responded that they would be able to accommodate the additional students generated
by the Project, and that the schools would not be adversely impacted by the approval
of the Project.
The Project Site is within the boundaries of the City of Chula Vista wastewater
services area, The proposed onsite 8 inch sewer line will be connected to an existing
15 inch sewer main within existing Lynndale Lane, which will connect the onsite
sewer system to the existing 15 inch main within the I-805 right-of-way. A Caltrans
Encroachment Permit will be required for the Project's sewer connection in the State
right-of-way. New sewer laterals are proposed to service the individual lots. No
adverse impacts to the City's sewer system or City's sewer threshold standards will
occur as a result of the proposed Project.
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 subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have determined
that the proposal meets those standards. The proposed Project will not induce
significant population growth, as it is a small residential infill project and will not
impact existing or proposed park and recreational facilities. The Project has been
conditioned to pay park acquisition and development fees prior to issuance of
building permits.
4. Housing
The Project is consistent with the density prescribed within the Residential Low -
General Plan designation, and will provide additional opportunities for high-quality,
market -rate single-family residential home ownership in the central portion of the
City, Project construction will be required to comply with the 2013 California Green
Building Standards, the City's Green Building Standards and the City's Energy
Efficiency Ordinance, therefore energy-efficient homes will be developed.
5. Growth Management
The Project is in compliance with applicable Growth Management Element
requirements because it is an infill project that will be served by existing public
infrastructure. There is no public service, facility, or phasing needs that warrant the
preparation of a Public Facilities Financing Plan.
6. Environmental
The Project proposes individual single-family homes that meet the minimum open
space requirement per the CVMC. The Development Services Director has prepared a
PC Resolution PCS -15-0005
August 9, 2017
Page No. 5
Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
IS -15-0001, in compliance with the CEQA, therefore, the Planning Commission finds
that the development of the site is consistent with the goals and policies of the
Conservation Element.
The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the Noise Element, a noise study
has been prepared by the Applicant, which has determined that the Project as
conditioned will comply with applicable City noise requirements at the time of
issuance of the building permit. The Project has been conditioned to require that all
dwelling units be designed to preclude interior noise levels over 45 dBA and exterior
noise exposure over 65 dBA for all outside private yard areas.
A Geotechnical report has been prepared for the Project, which has determined that
the site is not within or near a mapped -earthquake fault zone, and there are no known
or suspected seismic hazards associated with the Project Site. Conditions of approval
have been included that require a detailed soils report and geo-technical study be
prepared prior to approval of Grading Plans, and that foundation plans be reviewed in
conjunction with building permits. In addition, project compliance with applicable
Uniform Building Code standards would adequately address any building
safety/seismic concerns.
B. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.1 of the Subdivision Map Act, the
configuration, orientation, and topography of the site allow for the optimum siting of lots
for natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities. The development of the site
will be subject to site plan and architectural review to ensure the maximum utilization of
natural and passive heating and cooling opportunities.
C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Planning
Commission certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing
needs of the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of the
residents of the City and the available fiscal and environmental resources, -
D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66474 (a) -(g) of the Subdivision Map Act, the
proposed Project: .
(a) is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451
because the General Plan designation Residential Low (RL, 0-3 dwelling units per acre)
allows for a maximum of 21 lots and the project proposes 14 lots. The project is not
within a Specific Plan area.
(b) design or improvement is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. The
Project's design of 14 lots is consistent with the Residential Estate (RE) zoning
classification which is consistent with the General Plan's RL designation.
PC Resolution PCS -15-0005
August 9, 2017
Page No. b
(c) site is suitable for the proposed density of development. The Project's 14 lots are
below the allowed density range of 0-3 dwelling units per acres with a maximum yield of
21 lots.
(d) site is physically suitable for the type of development. The Project is surrounded by
single family development with available access and infrastructure to serve the Project.
(e) the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat. The Project has been designed to minimize landform disturbance with cut
and fill slopes balance, and a habitat restoration plan has been prepared that avoids
permanent disturbance or injury to wildlife or their habitat.
(f) the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious
public health problems because the Project has been designed to have plenty of
separation between homes, able to be served by fire and emergency -services, and -located
over 500 feet from a major highway.
(g) subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by
the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision.
In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate
easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially
equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to
easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the
public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the
proposed subdivision. The project's roadways and utilities are within and are not in
conflict with existing easements.
E. The site is physically suited for residential development, because it is an infill site and is
located adjacent to existing residential developments. The Project conforms to all
standards established by the City for a residential development.
F. The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein
contained are approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created
by the proposed development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission does hereby approve the
Project subject to the general and special conditions set forth below.
