PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item -----L-
Meeting Date: May 13.1998
ITEM TITLE:
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 98-15: An amendment to the Otay Ranch Phase
2 Resource Management Plan to add additional lands in the Proctor Valley
Parcel to the area currently designated as the first conveyance,
The Otay Ranch Company has applied to amend the conveyance schedule in the Phase 2 Resource
Management Plan (RMP 2) to add open space and preserve land they currently own in the central
Proctor Valley Parcel to the first conveyance for SPA One, The applicant is proposing that this land
be conveyed to the Preserve Owner/Manager (paM) with their first final "B" Map which is
anticipated to be approved in June, 1998, The proposed amendment to the RMP 2 Conveyance
Schedule was heard by the Planning Commission at the March II and 25 meetings and continued
to the May 13, 1998 meeting in order to complete an addendum to the SPA One EIR,
The Environmental Review Coordinator detennined that revisions to the SPA One EIR Findings
of Fact where necessary in order to amend the Conveyance Schedule, Staff has prepared an
Addendum to the SPA One EIR in order to revise the Findings to approve the Conveyance Schedule
amendment. All of the ''Keystone'' parcels are of high biological value, and it will be to the public's
benefit to have these parcels conveyed as early as possible in the development process, The
Addendum and Findings are attached for Planning Commission consideration, Approval by the
Planning Commission at the May 13th meeting will enable staff to forward the amendment to the
City Council within the time fi:ames for approval of the SPA One Final Maps.
ISSUES:
. Should the conveyance requirement for SPA One be expanded to include lands in the Proctor
Valley Parcel?
. Should the Conveyance Schedule be amended to include the "Keystone" parcel of the first
priority conveyance?
. Should land that is not within the City or the City's current Sphere of Influence be added to
the first conveyance priority?
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution PCM 98-15
reco=ending that the City Council approve the amendment to the Phase 2 Resource Management
Plan adding the "Keystone" parcels to the Conveyance Schedule for SPA One.

Meeting Date: 5/13/98
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: None
BACKGROUND:
The Phase 1 Resource Management Plan (RMP 1) was approved concurrently with the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) inOctober, 1993, The goal of the RMP
1 is the establishment of an open space system that will become a pennanent management preserve
dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the multiple resources present on Otay Ranch, The
RMP 1 identifies the conceptual Open Space Preserve boundaries and required further refinement
of those boundaries in the Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (RMP 2), The RMP 2 implements
the RMP 1 and was approved concurrently with the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan for
development of the first 1,000 acres located within Villages One and Five. The GDP/SRP required
the County of San Diego to approve three sections of the RMP 2, which included the Conveyance
Schedule, the Funding Plan and the establishment of the POM, These sections were approved by
Minute Order of the Board of Supervisors on March 6,1996.
BothRMP 1 and 2 contain policies which require a total ofll,375 acres of private open space land
to be conveyed to the POM for preservation, The conveyance of open space land is required by the
GDP to mitigate the approximately 9,500 acres of development. The Conveyance Schedule outlined
in the RMP 2 provides for the orderly conveyance of open space land to the POM in compliance
with the conveyance criteria established in the GDP/SRP (page 376) and the RMPl (pages 97-98
and 125),
RMP 1 (page 126) indicates that the goal of the conveyance schedule is to "maintain long-term
biological diversity and assure the survival and recovery of native species and habitats within the
Preserve", The RMP I also indicates that "protection and enhancement of biological resources shall
be the primary guiding principle behind development of the conveyance schedule". The RMP 2
identifies the first parcels to be conveyed to the POM based 'on the approved GDP conveyance
criteria and further implements the established guidelines for future conveyances. The required areas
of first conveyance are identified as the Coastal sage scrub habitat in Salt Creek and the vernal pools
on the Otay Mesa and are identified as Exhibits 14A and 14 B of the Phase 2 RMP (see Exhibit I),
There are currently 1,248 acres ofland in the first conveyance parcels, These areas were selected
to meet the guidelines of the Otay Ranch GDP and the Phase 1 RMP since they are "keystone"
parcels and were considered vulnerable to development and a high quality resource immediately
adjacent to developing areas, The conveyance of land is required concurrently with Final Map
approval. The first final map is anticipated in June/July 1998, Final maps in SPA One will be
obligated to convey approximately 1,243 acres ofland to the POM,
As indicated above, the RMP I (page 97-98 and 125) outlines guidelines that identifY those areas
to be conveyed early in the process but subsequent to the Salt Creek area being conveyed to the
POM. These guidelines are reiterated in the RMP 2 (page 57-58) as follows:
. First priority shall be given to conveyance of highest quality resources (such resources may
Page 3, Item: 1
Meeting Date: 5/13/98
include vernal pools on Otay Mesa, Diegan coastal sage scrub habitat in the Salt Creek area,
gnatcatcher population areas in the western San Ysidro and central Proctor Valley areas, or
potential wetlands restoration areas in the Otay Valley [depending upon the status of regional
park plans and wetlands restoration plans at the time Otay VaHey parcels are conveyed]).
. First priority shall be given to conveyance of most vulnerable areas (i.e., those most subject to
potential or ongoing disturbance).
. Conveyance shalJ occur in an orderly manner beginning with an identified "keystone" parcel
(e.g" vernal pool areas, Salt Creek area, Otay VaHey, central Proctor VaHey, western San
Y sidro) and proceed to the next logical block of land,
. Areas with restoration potential shalJ be conveyed early in order to begin long-tenn research and
restoration activities early in the process (e.g" Otay VaHey, vernal pool areas, potential Diegan
coastal sage scrub/maritime succulent scrub restoration areas north and south of the Otay
Valley).
. Cumulative acreage conveyed shaH be greater than or equal to the cumulative acreage of the
proposed SPA/Specific Plan development.
. General guidelines regarding in-kind mitigation and no net loss of wetlands shaH be considered
in the development of the conveyance schedule, particularly in the context of applicable State
and Federal regulations, (It is understood that in-kind mitigation may not always be the
preferable approach to achieve the goal of establishing a functioning manageable Preserve,)
. Applicable State and Federal regulations regarding protection of sensitive habitat and species
shall be followed in the development of the conveyance schedule.
. The Preserve Owner(s) Manager(s) shalJ participate in preparation of the conveyance schedule,
In addition, the Salt Creek area has been identified for inclusion into a "university" site as depicted
on the City's General Plan and the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP, although opportunities for core university
facilities will be limited, City of Chula Vista Staff and University of California, San Diego have
been discussing the potential for siting an environmental sciences research institution on the upper
site elevations in this area. Negotiations with the Wildlife Agencies are on-going and aimed at
identifying developable areas that might be utilized by the institute or other future university
facilities, Additionally, a site in the Salt Creek area has been identified in the City Council's "Seven
Areas of Improvement" as the potential site of the "Higher Education CenterlEnvironmental
Sciences Institute", Acquisition of the Salt Creek area, therefore, remains a high priority for the
City,

Meeting Date: 5/13/98
DISCUSSION:
1. Proposal
The Otay Ranch Company has applied to amend the Conveyance Schedule to add approximately 800
acres in the Proctor Valley parcel to the first conveyance, These additional lands are located north
and east of the resort site (Village 13), are currently in their ownership, and meet the first
conveyance criteria established in the GDP and RMP I since the area contains gmitcatcher
population. At the time the conveyance plan was adopted, the various Baldwin entities (Otay Ranch
L.P., Baldwin Builders, Tiger Development II and Village Properties) owned all of the land within
SPA One and most of the land proposed for SPA One conveyance detailed in Exhibits 14A and l4B
of the RMP 2. The first conveyance parcels are currently owned by the Estate of Patrick and New
Millennium Homes. Strict adherence to the Conveyance Schedule, as approved in the RMP 2, would
require the cum:nt owners ofSP A One (Otay Ranch Company and McMillin Companies) to acquire
land from the two entities (the Estate and New MiIlennium), The McMillin Companies do not own
any preserve land within Otay Ranch, therefore, their alternative to land conveyance is to pay the
in-lieu fee which is currently being developed. While this option is available to the Otay Ranch
Company, they believe it to be an unfair financial burden, particularly since they currently own
Preserve land elsewhere on Otay Ranch.
The land proposed to be added to the first conveyance complies with the GDP and RMP I guidelines
since it is part of the Otay Ranch Open Space Preserve, is part of a key wildlife corridor, is
environmentally sensitive and is immediately adjacent to properties already within the San Diego
National Wildlife Refuge, Otay-Sweetwater Unit which is controlled by public entities, The San
Diego National Wildlife Refuge, Otay-Sweetwater Unit consists of approximately 43,000 acres and
will be managed by the U,S. Department ofFish and Wildlife, Gnatcatchers have been sited and
mapped on the land proposed to be added to the first conveyance, The land proposed to be conveyed
is not located within the City or the City's sphere of influence, but is within the General Plan and
GDP area, The specific proposal is attached as Exhibit 2,
The amendment to the Conveyance Schedule will also have to be approved by the County of San
Diego. Staff met with County staff regarding this issue on February 18, 1998, They indicated that
they would have to review the proposal with the Board of Supervisors Subcommittee for Otay Ranch
and provide us with input subsequent to our meeting. Any available updates wjll be presented to the
Commission at the public hearing,
2. Analvsis
Staffhas reviewed the applicant's proposal to amend the conveyance schedule and sought input from
other affected parties. Staffhas conducted several meetings regarding this issue and the related in-
lieu fee proposal with all affected property owners, the California Department of Fish and Game,
the U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service and the County of San Diego Department of Planning and Land
Use and Parks and Recreation,
Page 5, Item: --L
Meeting Date: 5/13/98
A. Property Owner Concerns:
All Otay Ranch property owners met with the Executive Committee on November 12, 1997 to
discuss the proposed amendment to the Conveyance Schedule, The Executive Committee (formerly
known as the Policy Committee) consists of the City Manager and all department heads and was
formed during the processing of the Otay R<mch SPA One to discuss and make decisions on policy
issues. During the meeting, the McMillin Companies stated that they would be in favor of
eliminating all guidelines governing the acquisition ofland by the POM, It is their' opinion that the
properties in the Preserve have essentially been preserved anyway, due to their open space
designation, regardless of the order in which they are conveyed, They believe that forcing priority
acquisitions would not benefit the purchasers of open space property and would not provide any
incentive for the developer to purchase and convey land over paying the in-lieu fee.
Greg Smith, one of the property owners on the Otay Ranch, was represented by his attorney at the
meeting who indicated that he was in favor of retaining the guidelines, The other property owners
have not expressed an opinion,
Staff Response:
It is staff's opinion that the guidelines are necessary to ensure that the most sensitive areas will be
conveyed to the POM early in the process. The Findings of Fact for the SPA One EIR indicate that
the first conveyance will contain substantial acreage of upland scrub habitats and populations of
California gnatcatchers and cactus wrens. Early conveyance to the POM will result in earlier
monitoring and maintenance of habitat and species, Elimination of the Conveyance Schedule and
guidelines will require a new environmental impact report according to Tina Thomas, the City's
special legal counsel.
B. U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department of Fish and Game
Concerns
The Wildlife Agencies both commented on the applicant's proposal to amend the Conveyance
Schedule, Both agencies indicated awareness of the change in circumstances ofland ownership on
Otay R<mch that would necessitate amendments to the Conveyance Schedule. The agencies agreed
that the amendment to the Conveyance Schedule was acceptable as long as three provisions were
addressed:
1. The guidelines established in the RMP 1 should still be adhered to, and all of the first
priority lands should be acquired prior to starting assemblage of the lower priority
land regardless of ownership,
2. Observed cattle grazing adjacent to the SR 125 alignment, which has resulted
in degradation of vernal pool habitat, should be ceased,
3. High quality biological resource areas, such as the vernal pools on Otay Mesa and
the Salt Creek Canyon, should be conveyed into the preserve early. Biological
Page 6, Item: ---L-
Meeting Date: 5/13/98
resource values are to be maintained by the current landowners until such time as
parcels are conveyed to the Preserve Owner/Manager,
Staff Response:
Staff is in agreement with the comments received from the Wildlife Agencies. The guidelines
established in the RMP 1 are not being amended and will be retained in order to guide future
conveyance of land to the 'PaM. The land proposed for inclusion in the first conveyance is in
compliance with the established guidelines. High quality biological resource areas (as noted in #3)
are included in the priority guidelines, which will require them to be conveyed earlier in the process
than other open space lands. Additionally, City staffbas discussed the cattle grazing issue with the
applicant. He bas indicated that the rancher has been directed to relocate the cattle to a different part
of the Ranch. This will occur upon approval of the first final map. City staffhas also contacted the
property owner of the subject vemal pools, New Millennium, to alert them of the problem,
C. Planning Commission
Several concerns where raised at the March 11, 1998 Planning Commission meeting concerrring the
Conveyance Schedule and its processing.
The aevelopers of SPA One (Otay Ranch and McMillin) have complained that the limited
conveyance area restrains the market for acquisition of the conveyance area, The restraint they
believe will increase the cost of land if acquired for the preserve, Other potential owners(W illiam
Tuchscher) have also agreed with the perspective and provided testimony at the March 11
Planning Commission meeting. The Commission continued their public hearing and requested staff
address these concerns,
Staff Response
As part of the in-lieu fee program, staff has had an appraisal of the Preserve land co nducted. The
appraiser selected by the City concurs that a constrained market for conveyance land will increase
the conveyance area cost due to a lack of competition, One solution to this problem is to expand
the area in the Conveyance Plan to reflect the first priority lands listed in the RMP 1 guidelines,
Those lands focus on the "Keystone" parcels which contain the highest quality resources are:
vernal pools on Otay Mesa,
Diegan coastal sage scrub habitat in the Salt Creek area,
gnatcatcher population areas in the western San Y sidro and central Proctor Valley areas, or
potential wetlands restoration areas in the Otay Valley,
Adding these lands to the conveyance schedule will increase the competition among the preserve
property owners and reduce the acquisition cost of the preserve either by one of the developers or
the City with the in lieu fee, The additional owners of keystone parcels include: the Otay Ranch
Company, Stephen and Mary Birch Fonndation, Jewels of Charity, Marian Communities and Greg
Smith. The amount ofland in the first conveyance will increase from approximately 800 acres to
Page 7, Item: ~
Meeting Date: 5/13/98
over 6,000 acres. This amendment requires only the conveyance map in RMP 2 be modified to
indicated the "Keystone" parcels.
3, <;onclusion
Staff believes that while the proposal-to amend the Conveyance Plan complies with GDP policies,
it does not add sufficient land to the Conveyance Schedule to address the concerns raised by the
property owners and developers, Therefore, staff proposes the Commission recommend to the City
Council that the "Keystone" parcels be added to the Conveyance Schedule for the following reasons:
1, The lands proposed to be added to the first conveyance parcels are all high biological
quality and early conveyance would implement guidelines identified in the RMP 1
and 2.
2_ The additional land maintains the biologically sensitive as first conveyance parcels
and would also allow less sensitive portions of Salt Creek to be utilized for
university-related facilities, if desired.
3. The proposal adds land to the first conveyance and does not delete any first priority
lands. The guidelines for acquisition will remain in tact.
4, The early conveyance of these important biological resources is a public benefit.

RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND
THE OTAY RANCH PHASE 2 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
PLAN CONVEYANCE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, on October 28, 1993, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and the Chula
Vista City Council jointly adopted the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan
(GDP/SRP), including the Otay Ranch Phase 1 Resource Management Plan (phase 1 RMP),
governing the development ofthe 23,000 acre Otay Ranch project, and;
WHEREAS, the GDP and Phase 1 RMP require, as a condition of the development ofOtay
Ranch, the phased creation of an 11,375 acre Resource Preserve to be owned and operated by a
public or quasi-public Preserve OwnerlManage, and;
WHEREAS, the Otay Ranch GDP Program EIR and Findings of Fact find that the creation
of the 11,375 acre Resource Preserve mitigates identified biological impacts of the Otay Ranch
project, including cumulative biological impacts, and;
WHEREAS, on March 6, 1996, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors adopted the
Otay Ranch Preserve Conveyance Plan, which identifies specific open space areas within Otay
Ranch which must be conveyed to the Otay Ranch Preserve OwnerlManager as a condition of the
development ofthe Otay Ranch SPA One, and;
WHEREAS, on June 4, 1996, the City ofChula Vista City Council adopted the Otay Ranch
Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (Phase 2 RMP), including a Preserve Conveyance Plan
essentially identical to the plan previously adopted by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors,
and;
WHEREAS, a duly verified application, PCM 98-15, for a Miscellaneous Amendment
("Project") was filed with the Chula Vista Planning Department on October 17, 1997 by the Otay
Ranch Company ("Applicant") ; and
WHEREAS, said application requested an amendment to the Otay Ranch Resource
Management Plan, Phase 2, Exhibits 14A and 14B, otherwise known as the Conveyance Schedule;
and,
WHEREAS, circumstances have changed since the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP was adopted in
1993 which impact the Preserve Conveyance Schedule, At the time the GDP/SRP, including the
RMP I was adopted, the entire Otay Ranch project was controlled by one entity, the Baldwin
3-1
Company, Four years later, when Otay Ranch SPA One is required to convey lands to the preserve,
Otay Ranch is controlled by ten separate owners, Open space and developable lands are not
proportionately shared by all owners; and
WHEREAS, said application adds additional environmentally sensitive land in central
Proctor Valley which meets the GDP and RMP 1 guidelines to the first order of conveyance; and
WHEREAS, the applicant is currently the owner of said land; and
WHEREAS, virtually all of the eastern portions ofOtay Ranch have been included in the San
Diego National Wildlife Refuge, Otay-Sweetwater Unit. Furthennore, the City of San Diego and
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service have certified the EIR/EIS for the San Diego Multi-
Species Conservation Program (MSCP), Including the County of San Diego and the City of Chula
Vista Subarea Plans which incorporate the Otay Ranch preserve system. The County of San Diego
has adopted the South County MSCP Subarea Plan including the land plan changes reflected in the
agreement between Baldwin entities and the Resource Agencies; and
WHEREAS, while the multiplicity of owners seriously complicates the ordered conveyance
of preserve properties, the creation ofthe National Wildlife Refuge and the emergence of the MSCP
provide greater opportunities to convey preserve lands in a flexible manner; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set the time and place for a public hearing on said
amendment application and notice of said hearing, 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 ten (10) days prior to the hearing;
and
WHEREAS, the public hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely 7:00
p,m, on March 11, 1998 in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning
Commission and said hearing was continued to March 25, 1998 and was thereafter closed and
readvertised for May 13, 1998 at the same time and place; and
WHEREAS, the City Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the Project and
prepared the fifth addendum to the SPA One Plan Environmental Impact Report which concluded
that adding the "Keystone" parcels to the conveyance schedule would be consistent with the Otay
Ranch RMP guidelines and that the changes to the Conveyance Schedule would not result in
significant impacts and pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines found that the
revisions would result in only minor technical changes or additions which are necessary to make the
EIR adequate under CEQA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT from the facts presented to the Planning
Commission, the Commission has detennined that the amendment to the Conveyance Schedule of
the Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (i.e., deleting Exhibits l4A and l4B and substituting with
Exhibit 14) is consistent with the goals and policies set forth in the Otay Ranch General
3-2
Development Plan/Subregional Plan regarding the establishment of the Otay Ranch Open Space
Preserve; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION recommends that
the City Council approve the proposal to amend the Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (i.e" delete
Exhibits 14A and 14B and insert Exhibit 14), in accordance with the attached draft City Council
Resolution and that a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the owners of the property and the
City Council.

Re: Otav Ranch Resource ManaJ!ement Plan Amendment
Anne,
Per our recent discussions, the following represent positions proposed to be incorporated into the
planning department's latest concept to resolve the first conveyance sequence issue. As we
understand it, the planning department is assembling a map which will identify the ''keystone
properties" within the Otay Ranch preserve area, Within the context of assembling this exhibit or
teA1 revisions to the RMP IT, the following should be explicitly delineated:
L The identified "keystone properties" should act (per the guidelines) as areas of first
conveyance with an orderly sequential subsequent conveyance of other land areas
surrounding these keystone properties,
II, The "keystone properties" shall act as an appropriate initial conveyance for a larger area
of contiguous land to be conveyed which will ensure the long term viability and
preservation of the keystone resource assets,
ill. The "keystone properties" should include properties that are contiguous to those already
managed as open space preserve such as, properties controlled by the Bureau of Land
Management, the fish and wildlife agencies, and other public and private ownerships,
With these issues incorporated into the expansion of the first conveyance area, we feel confident
that all interest including owners of preserve land, developers of the Otay Ranch, land conservarion
organizations, and the fish and wildlife agencies will be satisfied in regarding to their particular
interest on this issue,

Subject: Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan
Dear Bob:
At the Planning Commission Workshop last Thursday night staff presented the revised
Conveyance Schedule and a status on the In Lieu Fee, We support both items, however
we are concerned about the timing of their approval and adoption, As we stated at the
workshop, we are extremely concerned about the approval schedule since we have Final B
maps that are being reviewed and will be ready for approval in July.
We have been told for weeks that the appraisal will be available for our review, We were
told at the Workshop that it will still be two more weeks before any public review. It
should not take the City weeks to review an appraisal. The appraisal should have been
released weeks ago. We do not want to find ourselves at the eleventh hour being asked to
review and accept a document that the City has had weeks to review. We ask you to
release the appraisal as quickly as possible and permit enough time for us to review and
comment.
We further request that the Conveyance Schedule and the In Lieu Fee be reviewed and
considered together. The two items are so interrelated that we object to any separation of
the two items. They need to be considered and approved as a package since one effects
the other.
Please call me at 336-3733 if you may have any questions or comments regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
McMillin-DA

FIFTH ADDENDUM TO PROGRAM EIR-90-01
(Initial Study for Otay Land Company)
atay Ranch Resource Management Program Phase 2 Modification
PROJECT NAME: Change in the conveyance schedule which would add lands to the
initial conveyance,
PROJECT LOCATION: The Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan Area
(see attached map)
PROJECT APPLICANT: atay Land Company
PROJECT AGENT: N/A
CASE NO.:
IS-98-20
DATE: May 6, 1998
I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the Environmental
Review Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) if one of the following conditions is present:
1. The minor changes in the project which have occurred since completion of the
Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration have not created any new
significant environmental impacts not previously addressed.
2, Additional or refined information available since completion of the Environmental
Impact Report or Negative Declaration regarding the potential environmental
impact of the project, or regarding the measures or alternatives available to
mitigate potential environmental effects of the project, does not show that the
project will have one or more significant impacts which were not previously
addressed.
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide additional information and analysis
concerning potential overall impacts,
n. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The atay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan, Chapter 10, Section B:
Resource Preserve, 5. Preserve Management and Maintenance (page 376 - Conveyance
priority policy) and Policy 5,6 of the atay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP)
(a:\llb\negdecs\is9820.add)
0-(6
Page 1
Phase 1 contains guidelines for conveyance of land to the Otay Ranch preserve. These
guidelines include the following:
1. First priority shall be given to conveyance of highest quality resources. Such
resources may include vernal pools on Otay Mesa, Diegan coastal sage scrub
habitat in the Salt Creek area, Gnatcatcher population areas in the Western San
Y sidro and Central Proctor Valley areas or potential wetlands restoration areas in
the Otay Valley (depending upon the status of regional park plans and wetlands
restoration plans at the time Otay Valley parcels are conveyed),
2. First priority shall be given to conveyance of most vulnerable areas (Le., those
most subject to potential or ongoing disturbance).
3. Conveyance shall occur in an orderly manner beginning with an identified
"keystone" parcel (e,g., vernal pool areas, Salt Creek area, Otay Valley, Central
Proctor Valley, Western San Ysidro) and proceed to the next logical block of land.
4. Areas with restoration potential shall be conveyed early in order to begin long-term
research and restoration activities early in the process (e.g., Otay Valley, vernal
pool areas, potential Diegan coastal sage scrub/maritime succulent scrub
restoration areas north and south of the Otay Valley).
5, Cumulative acreage conveyed shall be greater than or equal to the cumulative
acreage of the proposed SPA/Specific Plan development.
6. General guidelines regarding in-kind mitigation and no net loss of wetlands shall
be considered in the development of the conveyance schedule, particularly in the
context of applicable State and Federal regulations. (It is understood that in-kind
mitigation may not always be the preferable approach to achieve the goal of
establishing a functioning manageable preserve).
7, Applicable State and Federal regulations regarding protection of sensitive habitat
and species shall be followed in the development of the conveyance table.
8, The Preserve Owner(s)/Manager(s) shall participate in preparation of the
conveyance schedule,
In response to the guidelines included in the Otay Ranch RMP Phase I, Section II.B of the
Otay Ranch RMP Phase 2 included a preserve conveyance plan. The conveyance plan was
prepared in accordance with the guidelines contained in the Otay Ranch RMP Phase 1 and
identified specific conveyance locations based on the following guidance:
1, Priority is given to high quality resources
(a:\llb\negdecs\is9820.add)
<f-((
Page 2
2. Priority is given to most vulnerable resources
3. Conveyance should begin with "keystone" parcels (vernal pool areas, Salt Creek,
Otay Valley, Central Proctor Valley, Western San Ysidro)
4. Potential Restoration areas should be conveyed early.
The Otay Ranch RMP Phase 2 also includes Exhibits 14A and 14B depicting the Salt
Creek and Otay Mesa areas as the first conveyances for SPA One,
The SPA One EIR (SCH #94101046) includes the following mitigation measure relating
to preserve conveyance:
"With SPA One, provide for conveyance of 1,186 acres to the Otay Ranch
preserve, with the first conveyance of 593 acres occurring in Year 3 of the
Otay Ranch development program, The first conveyance area will be
located on the Otay River parcel and will contain substantial acreage of
upland scrub habitats and populations of California Gnatcatchers and cactus
wrens, "
ill. STATEMENT OF PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
Since the Otay Ranch RMP Phase 2 and SPA One EIR were approved, the ownership of
Otay Ranch has become fragmented making it difficult for the SPA One landowner to
provide for the first conveyance on the Otay River parcel as called for in the SPA One
EIR mitigation measure, and in the locations shown on Exhibits 14A and 14B of the Otay
Ranch RMP Phase 2. Adherence to the preserve conveyance guidelines contained in both
the Phase I and Phase 2 RMPs can still, however, be achieved. The proposed amendment/
modifications would therefore not make any changes to the preserve conveyance guidelines
but would do the following:
1. Eliminate Exhibits 14A and 14B from the Otay Ranch RMP Phase 2 and replace
with new Exhibit 14 attached (no other changes to the RMP Phase 2 are proposed);
and
2. Revise the mitigation measure contained in the SPA One EIR (page 4,3-42 and 43)
and Otay Ranch SPA One Second-Tier EIR Final CEQA Findings of Fact and
Statement of Overriding Considerations (page 35 and 36) to state the following:
"With SPA One, provide for conveyance of open space preserve
land to the Otay Ranch preserve located in one of the keystone areas
consistent with the conveyance guidelines included in both the Phase
1 and Phase 2 RMPs. The keystone areas are identified in the RMP
(a:\Ub\negdecs\is9820.add)i
L(-(c.....
Page 3
as vernal pool areas, Salt Creek area, atay Valley, Central Proctor
Valley, Western San Ysidro," as depicted in the attached exhibits.
IV. EFFECTS OF PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
No direct effects would be associated with the proposed modifications to the conveyance
schedule since no changes to the overall Otay Ranch designated preserve boundary or
development area are proposed. In addition, no changes to the guidelines for preserve
conveyance are proposed. The proposed modifications would simply allow conveyance of
anyone of the keystone areas as opposed to the limited keystone areas on the atay River
parcel as identified in Exhibits 14A and 14B of the RMP Phase 2 and the SPA ane EIR.
Anyone of the keystone areas would meet the RMP conveyance guidelines as summarized
below:
1. Vernal Pool Areas: Vernal pool areas are consistent with the conveyance
guidelines because these areas contain high quality resources, are vulnerable due
to easy access and existing grazing activities and have restoration potential. Vernal
pool areas are present in several keystone areas including atay Mesa, the atay
River Valley, portions of Western San Ysidro; on the Proctor Valley parcel, vernal
pools have been identified on the resort site,
2, Salt Creek: Conveyances in the Salt Creek area would be consistent with the
conveyance guidelines because Salt Creek is known to contain high quality upland
resources including cactus wren and Gnatcatcher habitat, the area is vulnerable and
would benefit from management due to easy access and recent fires; and recent
fires have created restoration potential within Salt Creek.
3, Otay Valley: Conveyances in the atay Valley area would be consistent with the
conveyance guidelines because the atay Valley contains valuable wetland resources
and is a recognized wildlife movement corridor, is subject to unauthorized use and
could benefit from management, and exhibits substantial restoration potential due
to past sand mining activities. Portions of the atay Valley area are also being
planned by the atay Valley Regional Park JEPA for regional park uses, and any
early conveyance in the Otay Valley area would need to be coordinated with those
efforts.
4, Central Proctor Valley: Conveyances in the Central Proctor Valley area would
be consistent with the RMP conveyance guidelines because this area contains
substantial upland resources including Gnatcatchers, Munz's sage, San Diego
thormnint and represents a large habitat block providing linkages to other preserve
areas identified as part of the MSCP, the area could benefit from management due
to disturbances caused by grazing activities; and contains opportunities for passive
restoration in previously grazed areas,
(a: \lIb \negdecs\is9820 .add)
Lf-i J
Page 4
5. Western San Ysidro: Conveyances in the Western San Ysidro area would be
consistent with the RMP conveyance guidelines because this area contains
substantial resources including Gnatcatcher habitat and vernal pool resources and
is identified as an important habitat block as part of the MSCP. This area is less
vulnerable than the other keystone parcels since it is not readily accessible and has
not been previously grazed, Restoration potential in this area has not been
evaluated,
v. CONCLUSIONS
Any of the identified keystone areas would be consistent with the conveyance guidelines
incorporated in the Dtay Ranch RMP Phase 1 and 2 and no features of the currently
proposed modifications relating to alternation in the location of the first conveyance to the
preserve would result in significant impacts, either on a plan-to-plan basis or on a plan-to-
ground basis,
Pursuant to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines and based on the above
discussion, I hereby find that the project revisions to the proposed project will result in
only minor technical changes or additions which are necessary to make the EIR adequate
under CEQA.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 2
Meeting Date: May 13. 1998
ITEM TITLE:
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 98-21: Consideration of an amendment
to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan
(GDP/SRP) to allow reduction in Village Core densities.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 98-16: Consideration of an amendment
to the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan on
property generally located on 1,110 acres south of Telegraph Canyon
Road between Paseo Ranchero and the future SR-125 alignment.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCS 98-04: Consideration of a Tentative
Subdivision Map for 10 1.4 acres of the Otay Ranch SPA One, Chula
Vista Tract 98-04, generally located off the southern extension of
Otay Lakes Road, south of Telegraph Canyon Road.
The McMillin Companies has submitted an application to amend the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) and the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) One Plan. In addition, they have submitted a revised Tentative Tract Map, PCS 98-04,
which covers the Village Five Core area south of East Palomar Street and the neighborhood
park and Community Purpose Facility (CPF) sites north of East Palomar Street. The
proposed GDP/SRP amendment requests that flexibility be granted in reducing the density of
village core areas, as long as core vitality and the ability to serve transit needs are maintained.
The requested SPA amendment makes adjustments to neighborhood boundaries in the Village
Five Core area, reconfigures the Park and CPF sites based on the reduced density and
population and revises the circulation system around the Core area.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared an Initial Study 98-16 and concluded
that the existing Program EIR for the GDP/SRP and Second-Tier EIR for the SPA One Plan
provide adequate prior review ofthe projects' environmental impacts. The Coordinator has
prepared an addendum to the Second-Tier EIR substantiating this position. The addendum
is attached to the draft City Council Resolution for the SPA amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council
approval of:
1. the Fourth Addendum to FEIR 95-01 for the Otay Ranch SPA One; and,
2 an amendment to the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP (pCM 98-21); and,
3. an amendment to the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan (PCM 98-16); and,
4. a revised Tentative Subdivision Map for the 101.4 acres in the Village Five core area.

DISCUSSION:
I. Back~round:
In October of 1993, the City Council and County Board of Supervisors jointly adopted the Otay
Ranch GDP/SRP for the 23,000-acre Otay Ranch. On June 4, 1996, the City Council approved
the SPA One Plan for Villages One and Five of the Otay Ranch. The SPA One Plan was
processed by Otay Ranch Company (then known as Village Development). Subsequent to SPA
One approval, West Coast Land Fund (WCLF) foreclosed on approximately 1,036 acres of the
Otay Ranch, a portion of which was located within SPA One. In response to this, Village
Development processed a tentative map excluding approximately 290 acres of SPA One that was
subject to the WCLF foreclosure action.
McMillin Companies subsequently purchased the WCLF property and filed a Tentative Map on
the 290 acres that was in substantial conformance with the SPA One Plan. This Tentative Map
(PCS 97-02) was approved by the City Council on June 3, 1997 and was processed to receive
approval of the single-family areas north of East Palomar Street. The originally approved map
had a total of 1,877 dwelling units on 290 acres as shown in Exhibit 2. The area south of East
Palomar Street was originally mapped identical to the SPA One Plan and divided the core into
lots as indicted on the SPA One Plan. At the time of approval, McMillin Companies indicated
that they would most likely propose revisions to this area in the future. At this time, the applicant
is proposing to amend the Village Five Core area as indicated in the discussion below.
II. Applicants Proposal:
A. GDP Amendment
In order to allow for the reduction in density in the Village Five Core area, McMillin Companies
is requesting that the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP be amended to allow for flexibility on a case-by-
case-basis. The suggested amendment is indicated as Exhibit 3. The applicant is requesting that
an additional criterion be added to the Implementation Mechanism section of the GDP/SRP (page
117) as follows:
The number of homes identified for the village core represents an urban planninl!:
Page 3, Item: --L
Meeting Date:5/13/98
!loa!. Reductions in the number of multi-family units m!\,v be approved at the SPA
and tentative map level as long as sufficient densities are provided to support bus
and light rail transit.
Additionally, the applicant is requesting that one of the Village Core policies (page 144) be
modified as follows:
Th~ numt~r ofhom~s idwillkd mr th~ village cor~ is a nlln.iilluH\ and may not
b~ ~du~~d. The number of homes identified for the village core represents
an urban planning goal. Reductions in the number of multi-family units may
be approved at the SPA and tentative map level as long as sufficient densities
are provided to support bus and light rail transit.
Analysis
Existing GDP/SRP policies indicate a maximum of 1,615 multi-family dwelling units in the Village
Five Core at an average density of 18 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). During the preparation of
the GDP/SRP, the Otay Ranch Project Team had proposed a density of 14.5 du/ac for all the
urban village cores. This density was supported by the Planning Commission, however, during
the City Council and Board of Supervisors public review of the GDP, the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board (MTDB) requested higher densities up to 22 du/ac in the transit villages to
support the future trolley line. The Council and Board ultimately determined that 18 du/ac would
be the appropriate density for the village cores, but they could not be reduced. These densities
were calculated on a gross area (no streets where deleted from the core acreage). As a result,
when the units were planned at the SPA level, with the streets deleted from the area calculations,
the net densities of the building sites increased dramatically. There are six neighborhoods in
McMillin's existing SPA One Village Five core with the following net densities:
Neighborhood
R-40
R-41
R-42
R-43
R-44
R-45
Th1aL.
Density
23.7 du/ac
24.4 du/ac
33.0 du/ac
33.7 du/ac
22.3 du/ac
29.5 du/ac
Units
204
127
241
175
261
165
1,173
The applicant believes these densities are too high and, while there is a growing demand in the
multi-family market, the approved densities would not be absorbed by the market. They are
proposing that flexibility be added to the GDP/SRP to maintain the 18 du/ac as the maximum
density as policy but allow less density to be built. Staff supports the amendment as long as
sufficient densities are achieved to support the light rail transit. The City will continue to
coordinate with MTDB to ensure the transit village cores contain enough density to support the
trolley line.
Page 4, Item: -2-
Meeting Date:5/13/98
Staff has reviewed the proposed density reduction with MTDB staff, who remains supportive
because of the density achieved adjacent to the future trolley stop. The applicant is proposing this
text amendment in order to allow them to reduce the density in the Village Five Core on the SPA
One Plan from an average of 18 du/ac to an average of IS dulacre on the SPA One Plan. The
applicant is still proposing to maintain the following multiple family densities in the Village Five
Core area south of East Palomar Street:
Nei!1hborhood Densitv
R-40: 16.2 dulac
R-43: 29.3 du/ac
R-44: 30.9 du/ac
R-45: Mixed Use
Units
201
240
210
18 multi-family units above ground floor
commercial
Additionally, Neighborhood R-46 located north of East Palomar Street is maintaining a density
of 16.3 dulac which is consistent with the originally approved Tentative Map.
In reviewing the proposal, and in discussions with the MTDB, City staff is in support of the
proposed amendment. MTDB has indicated that an average density of IS du/ac is still within
their parameters for transit-oriented development. A letter of support from MTDB is attached
as Exhibit 4.
B. SPA Amendment
The applicant is proposing several amendments to the SPA One Plan as summarized below.
The specific amendments to text, maps and tables have been included as Exhibit 5.
1. Reduction in density ofthe Village Five Core.
Following is a table which indicates the overall change in dwelling units from the GDP/SRP to
the SPA One Plan which maintains 15 du/ac in the Village Core. This table indicates a decrease
in one single family unit and a decrease in 422 multi-family units.
GDP/SRP Approved SPA Proposed SPA Proposed TM
SF Units 1,263 1,263 1,262 1,262
MF Units 1,615 1,615 1,193 1,193
Population 8,289 8,289 7,070 7,070
2. Parks and Community Purpose Facilities (CPF)
The number, location and size of the Village Five parks and CPF sites has been revised based
upon the reduction in density and population. The approved SPA indicated four CPF sites,
ranging in size from 2.4 to 3.7 acres and totaling 11.6 acres. The applicant is proposing to
consolidate the three CPF sites located on their portion of SPA One (CPF 4,6 and 7) into one
location at the northeast comer of East Palomar Street and Santa Cora Avenue (CPF 4). This
Page 5, Item: ~
Meeting Date:5/13/98
new site totals 4.8 acres. The CPF 5 site in the Otay Ranch Company portion of SPA One would
be increased in size from 3.7 to 5.3 acres. The applicant has indicated that the larger CPF sites
are much more marketable than smaller sites. They noted that most churches require a minimum
size of 4.5 - 5 acres.
Similarly, the parks within Village Five have been relocated and reduced in size based on the
reduction in density and population. Park P-7 has remained in essentially the same location and
has changed in size trom 5.2 to 5.7 acres; Park P-8, the Town Square Park, has been reduced
trom 1.8 to 1.0 acres. Park P-6 has been reconfigured and reduced in size trom a total of 10.6
to 6.4 acres. The table below compares the CPF and Parks requirements for the approved and
'Jroposed SPA Plans.

CPF 11.52 ac. 11.6 ac. 9.8 ac. 10.1 ac.
Parks 16.6 ac. 21.3 ac. 14.14 ac. 17 ac.
The table below further breaks down the sizes of parks proposed for Village Five and indicates
the amount of park credit allowed. City policy does not allow parks to receive park credit if they
are less than 5 acres in size. However, since small pedestrian parks are an integral neighborhood
component of the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP and SPA One Plan, the SPA One permits 25% to 50%
credit for the pedestrian parks and 100% park credit for the Town Square Park. Additionally,
the City Council allowed in their approval of the McMillin Tentative Map, credit for pedestrian
Park P-9 since it would be a public park.

3. Street Reconfiguration
As proposed, Santa Cora remains a promenade street which loops around Park P-7, the Town
Square Park and the multi-family area within the Village Five Core. Due to the reconfiguration
of the residential neighborhoods south of East Palomar Street, Santa Rosa Drive has been deleted,
resulting in aT-intersection at East Palomar Street.
4. Commercial
The commercial acreage in the Village Five Core area has been reduced from 3.6 acres in the
approved SPA to approximately 2.8 acres. The commercial area will surround the Town Square
Park on the south and east sides. A mixed use land use designation is being proposed which
would allow commercial uses on the ground floor with two stories of residential above. The
reduction in commercial acres reflects the specific site plan proposed for the Mixed Use area.
5. Reconfiguration of Neighborhoods
Neighborhood R-40
This area is located east of the easterly extension of Santa Cora and is a multi-family site
consisting of 12.4 acres with 201 units. The resulting density is 16.2 du/ac.
Neighborhood R-41
This area is sited directly west of Neighborhood R-40, and is located south of Santa Cora and
Park P-7. This is a single family area consisting of90 units on 14.4 acres with a density of 6.3
dulac.
Neighborhood R-42
This neighborhood is a multi-family site located north of Neighborhood R-41 and west of Park
P-7. Seventy four (74) units are sited on 9.6 acres with a resultant density of7.7 dulac.
Neighborhood R-43
This multi-family site is located at the southeast comer of La Media Road and East Palomar
Street. The applicant is proposing 240 units on 8.2 acres, with a resultant density of 29.3 dulac.
Neighborhood R-44
This area is located directly south and east of the Mixed Use area. The applicant is proposing 210
units on 6.8 acres, with a resultant density of30.9 du/ac.
Nei!1hborhood R-45
This area is directly adjacent to the Town Square Park and is situated above the commercial
ground floor buildings. Approximately 18 units are planned for this area. The SPA One Plan is
proposed to be amended to allow this area to be Mixed Use.
6. Village Design Plan
Minor amendments to exhibits and maps in the Village Design Plan are required in order to reflect
the proposed SPA amendment and maintain consistency between the documents. These proposed
H:\HOMEIPLANNINGIBEV\422PC.DOC
Page 7, Item:--L
Meeting Date:5/13/98
changes are noted in Exhibit 6.
7. Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Plan
Minor amendments are also required to maps within this document to reflect the revised
configuration of Parks P-7 and P-6. These proposed changes are noted in Exhibit 7.
Analvsis
The proposed SPA amendment has been reviewed on several occasions by the Technical
Committee, which consists of City stafffj-om the Engineering, Planning, Parks and Recreation,
Police and Fire Departments. Additionally, the location and configuration of the CPF and park
sites north of East Palomar Street were reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee. The
size of the sites was also approved by the Executive Committee. The size of the CPF sites are
in conformity with City requirements, and staff believes that the single larger site will provide the
opportunity for a significant architectural statement as opposed to the smaller more dispersed
sites. The overall creditable acreage for the park sites is consistent with the Otay Ranch
GDP/SRP requirement of2 acres per 1,000 residents. The additional 1 acre per 1,000 residents
will be met through the payment of PAD fees which will be used to construct the community
parks as contained in a condition of approval of the Tentative Map.
The deletion of Santa Rosa and the slight realignment of Santa Cora are necessary due to the
reconfiguration of the neighborhoods south of East Palomar Street. The loop promenade street
(Santa Cora) will provide a strong landscape and visual element unifYing this area. Additionally,
the reconfiguration of the neighborhoods and the location of single family and multi-family uses
is consistent with the goals of the GDP/SRP which encourages multifamily uses closer to the
transit stop.
Staff is in support of the Mixed Use proposal which surrounds the Town Square Park and
believes this furthers the neo-traditional concepts outlined in the GDP/SRP and will provide a
strong focal backdrop for the Town Square Park. The Town Square Park will be framed with
commercial on two sides, multi-family on the west and a CPF site to the north.
C. Tentative Map
The applicant has submitted a Tentative Map which is consistent with the proposed SPA and
GDP amendment. Neighborhoods R-40, 43 and 44 are multi-family sites that are not specifically
designed with this Tentative Map, however, staff has been working with the guest builder in
development of their Detailed Site Plans for Neighborhoods R-43 and 44. These multi-family
development sites will be reviewed by the Design Review Committee in the near future.
1. Neighborhood R-41
This neighborhood is proposed for 90 single-family lots on 44' x 90' pads. This neighborhood
is directly south of the Neighborhood Park P-7 and Santa Cora, a promenade street encircling the
park. AJllots adjacent to Santa Cora will face onto the park. This design will provide "eyes on
the park" security and a greater sense of ownership of the park by adjacent residents. Lots in this
H,IHOMEIPLANNINGIBEV\422PC.DOC
Page 8, Item: ~
Meeting Date:5/13/98
neighborhood are served by the Residential Street Section A, which contains a 6- foot landscaped
parkway adjacent to the curb and a 4- foot sidewalk. Maintenance of the parkways will be by the
homeowner with enforcement by the Homeowner's Association, similar to the other McMillin
neighborhoods within SPA One.
2. Neighborhood R-42
This neighborhood consists of74 duplex or single-family attached units on 9.6 acres. Consistent
with other neighborhoods in SPA One, these small lots are allowed to be served by Residential
Street Section B, which provides for a contiguous sidewalk. The through street (Sierra Verde
Drive) linking Neighborhoods R-41 and 42 is required to be Street Section A to provide
continuity. Lots in Neighborhood R-42 on Santa Cora will also rront onto the park.
Analysis
The proposed Tentative Map was reviewed concurrently with the SPA One and GDP
Amendments at the Technical Committee. The Tentative Map is consistent with the proposed
GDP and SPA amendments. Conditions of approval have been developed by the various City
departments and are included for the Commission's review as an attachment to the Resolution
of Approval for the Tentative Map. Staff has some concerns regarding the appearance of the lots
in Neighborhood R-41 adjacent to the slopes along Olympic Parkway. Conditions of approval
have been incorporated to address this aesthetic issue.
Conclusion
Staff is in support of the GDP and SPA One Amendment including the proposed modifications
to the Village Design Plan and Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Plan. Additionally, staff
is in support of the proposed Tentative Map with the recommended conditions of approval.

Item: 2
Meeting Date: May 13. 1998
ITEM TITLE:
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 98-21: Consideration of an amendment
to the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan
(GDP/SRP) to allow reduction in Village Core densities.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 98-16: Consideration of an amendment
to the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan on
property generally located on 1, 110 acres south of Telegraph Canyon
Road between Paseo Ranchero and the future SR-125 alignment.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCS 98-04: Consideration of a Tentative
Subdivision Map for 10 1.4 acres of the Otay Ranch SPA One, Chula
Vista Tract 98-04, generally located off the southern extension of
Otay Lakes Road, south of Telegraph Canyon Road.
The McMillin Companies has submitted an application to amend the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) and the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) One Plan. In addition, they have submitted a revised Tentative Tract Map, PCS 98-04,
which covers the Village Five Core area south of East Palomar Street and the neighborhood
park and Community Purpose Facility (CPF) sites north of East Palomar Street. The
proposed GDP/SRP amendment requests that flexibility be granted in reducing the density of
village core areas, as long as core vitality and the ability to serve transit needs are maintained,
The requested SPA amendment makes adjustments to neighborhood boundaries in the Village
Five Core area, reconfigures the Park and CPF sites based on the reduced density and
population and revises the circulation system around the Core area,
The Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared an Initial Study 98-16 and concluded
that the existing Program EIR for the GDP/SRP and Second-Tier EIR for the SPA One Plan
provide adequate prior review of the projects' environmental impacts. The Coordinator has
prepared an addendum to the Second-Tier EIR substantiating this position: The addendum
is attached to the draft City Council Resolution for the SPA amendment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council
approval of:
1. the Fourth Addendum to FEIR 95-01 for the Otay Ranch SPA One; and,
2 an amendment to the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP (PCM 98-21); and,
3. an amendment to the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan (pCM 98-16); and,

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: None
DISCUSSION: .
L Back~round:
In October of1993, the City Council and County Board of Supervisors jointly adopted the Otay
Ranch GDP/SRP for the 23,000-acre Otay Ranch. On June 4,1996, the City Council approved
the SPA One Plan for Villages One and Five of the Otay Ranch, The SPA One Plan was
processed by Otay Ranch Company (then known as Village Development). Subsequent to SPA
One approval, West Coast Land Fund (WCLF) foreclosed on approximately 1,036 acres of the
Otay Ranch, a portion of which was located within SPA One. In response to this, Village
Development processed a tentative map excluding approximately 290 acres of SPA One that was
subject to the WCLF foreclosure action,
McMillin Companies subsequently purchased the WCLF property and filed a Tentative Map on
the 290 acres that was in substantial conformance with the SPA One Plan, This Tentative Map
(pCS 97-02) was approved by the City Council on June 3, 1997 and was processed to receive
approval of the single-family areas north of East Palomar Street. The originally approved map
had a total of 1,877 dwelling units on 290 acres as shown in Exhibit 2, The area south of East
Palomar Street was originally mapped identical to the SPA One Plan and divided the core into
lots as indicted on the SPA One Plan, At the time of approval, McMillin Companies indicated
that they would most likely propose revisions to this area in the future. At this time, the applicant
is proposing to amend the Village Five Core area as indicated in the discussion below.
II. Applicants Proposal:
A. GDP Amendment
In order to allow for the reduction in density in the Village Five Core area, McMillin Companies
is requesting that the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP be amended to allow for flexibility on a case-by-
case-basis, The suggested amendment is indicated as Exhibit 3, The applicant is requesting that
an additional criterion be added to the Implementation Mechanism section of the GDP/SRP (page
117) as follows:
The number of homes identified for the village core represents an urban plannin~
Page 3, Item: ~
Meeting Date:5/13/98
goal. Reductions in the number ofmulti-familv units mav be approved at the SPA
and tentative map level as long as sufficient densities are provided to support bus
and lil1:ht rail transit. '
Additionally, the applicant is requesting that one of the Village Core policies (page 144) be
modified as follows:
The. JlUlllbe.f ofholll';'S identiGcd fur thlO village. core. is II. rnlliliuUlll an.d ililY not
be, lx,due,e,d. The number of homes identified for the village core represents
an urban planning goal. Reductions in the number of multi-family units may
be approved at the SPA and tentative map level as long as sufficient densities
are provided to support bus and light rail transit.
Analysis
Existing GDP/SRP policies indicate a maximum ofl,615 multi-family dwelling units in the Village
Five Core at an average density of 18 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), During the preparation of
the GDP/SRP, the Otay Ranch Project Team had proposed a density of 14.5 du/ac for all the
urban village cores, This density was supported by the Planning Commission, however, during
the City Council and Board of Supervisors public review of the GDP, the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board (MTDB) requested higher densities up to 22 du/ac in the transit villages to
sUpport the future trolley line. The Council and Board ultimately determined that 18 du/ac would
be the appropriate density for the village cores, but they could not be reduced, These densities
were calculated on a gross area (no streets where deleted from the core acreage). As a result,
when the units were planned at the SP A leve~ with the streets deleted from the area calculations,
the net densities of the building sites increased dramatically, There are six neighborhoods in
McMillin's existing SPA One Village Five core with the following net densities:

The applicant believes these densities are too high and, while there is a growing dem3.n.d in the
multi-family market, the approved densities would not be absorbed by the market, They are
proposing that flexibility be added to the GDP/SRP to maintain the 18 du/ac as the maximum
density as policy but allow less density to be built. Staff supports the amendment as long as
sufficient densities are achieved to support the light rail transit. The City will continue to
coordinate with MTDB to ensure the transit village cores contain enough density to support the
trolley line,
Page 4, Item: ~
Meeting Date:5/13/98
Staff has reviewed the proposed density reduction with MTDB staff, who remains supportive
because of the density achieved adjacent to the future trolley stop. The applicant is proposing this
text amendment in order to allow them to reduce the density in the Village Five Core on the SPA
One Plan from an average of 18 dulac to an average of 15 dulacre on the SPA One Plan. The
applicant is still proposing to maintain the following multiple family densities in the Village Five
Core area south of East Palomar Street:

Additionally, Neighborhood R-46 located north of East Palomar Street is maintaining a density
of 16.3 du/ac which is consistent with the originally approved Tentative Map.
In reviewing the proposal, and in discussions with the MTDB, City staff is in support of the
proposed amendment. MTDB has indicated that an average density of 15 dulac is still within
their parameters for transit-oriented development. A letter of support from MTDB is attached
as Exhibit 4.
B. SPA Amendment
The applicant is proposing several amendments to the SPA One Plan as summarized below.
The specific amendments to text, maps and tables have been included as Exhibit 5.
1. Reduction in density of the Village Five Core.
Following is a table which indicates the overall change in dwelling units from the GDP/SRP to
the SPA One Plan which maintains 15 dulac in the Village Core. This table indicates a decrease
in one single family unit and a decrease in 422 multi-family units.
GDP/SRP Approved SPA Proposed SPA Proposed TM

MF Units 1,615 1,615 1,193 -1,193
Population 8,289 8,289 7,070 7,070
2. Parks and Community Purpose Facilities (CPF)
The number, location and size of the Village Five parks and CPF sites has been revised based
upon the reduction in density and population. The approved SPA indicated four CPF sites,
ranging in size from 2.4 to 3.7 acres and totaling 11.6 acres. The applicant is proposing to
consolidate the three CPF sites located on their portion of SPA One (CPF 4, 6 and 7) into one
location at the northeast corner of East Palomar Street and Santa Cora Avenue (CPF 4). This
Page 5, Item: ~
Meeting Date:5/13/98
new site totals 4.8 acres. The CPF 5 site in the Otay Ranch Company portion of SPA One would
be increased in size from 3.7 to 5.3 acres. The applicant has indicated that the larger CPF sites
are much more marketable than smaller sites. They noted that most churches require a minimum
size of 4.5 - 5 acres.
Similarly, the parks within Village Five have been relocated and reduced in size based on the
reduction in density and population. Park P-7 has remained in essentially the same location and
has changed in size from 5.2 to 5.7 acres; Park P-8, the Town Square Park, has been reduced
from 1.8 to 1.0 acres. Park P-6 has been reconfigured and reduced in size from a total of 10.6
to 6.4 acres. The table below compares the CPF and Parks requirements for the approved and
Jroposed SPA Plans.

The table below further breaks down the sizes of parks proposed for Village Five and indicates
the amount of park credit allowed. City policy does not allow parks to receive park credit if they
are less than 5 acres in size. However, since small pedestrian parks are an integral neighborhood
component of the OtayRanch GDP/SRP and SPA One Plan, the SPA One permits 25% to 50%
credit for the pedestrian parks and 100% park credit for the Town Square Park. Additionally,
the City Council allowed in their approval of the McMillin Tentative Map, credit for pedestrian
Park P-9 since it would be a public park.

3. Street Reconfiguration
As proposed, Santa Cora remains a promenade street which loops around Park P-7, the Town
Square Park and the multi-family area within the Village Five Core. Due to the reconfiguration
of the residential neighborhoods south of East Palomar Street, Santa Rosa Drive has been deleted,
resulting in aT-intersection at East Palomar Street.
4. Commercial
The commercial acreage in the Village Five Core area has been reduced from 3.6 acres in the
approved SPA to approximately 2.8 acres. The commercial area will surround the Town Square
Park on the south and east sides. A mixed use land use designation is being proposed which
would allow commercial uses on the ground floor with two stories of residential above. The
reduction in commercial acres reflects the specific site plan proposed for the Mixed Use area.
5. Reconfiguration of Neighborhoods
Nei~hborhood R-40
This area is located east of the easterly extension of Santa Cora and is a multi-family site
consisting of 12.4 acres with 201 units. The resulting density is 16.2 dulac.
Nei~hborhood R-41
This area is sited directly west of Neighborhood R-40, and is located south of Santa Cora and
Park P- 7. This is a single family area consisting of 90 units on 14.4 acres with a density of 6.3
dulac.
Neighborhood R-42
This neighborhood is a multi-family site located north of Neighborhood R-41 and west of Park
P-7. Seventy four (74) units are sited on 9.6 acres with a resultant density of7.7 dulac.
Neighborhood R-43
This multi-family site is located at the southeast corner of La Media Road and East Palomar
Street. The applicant is proposing 240 units on 8.2 acres, with a resultant density of 29.3 du/ac.
Neighborhood R-44
This area is located directly south and east of the Mixed Use aiea. The applicant is proposing 210
units on 6.8 acres, with a resultant density of30.9 du/ac.
Neighborhood R-45
This area is directly adjacent to the Town Square Park and is situated above the commercial
ground floor buildings. Approximately 18 units are planned for this area. The SPA One Plan is
proposed to be amended to allow this area to be Mixed Use.
6. Village Design Plan
Minor amendments to exhibits and maps in the Village Design Plan are required in order to reflect
the proposed SPA amendment and maintain consistency between the documents. These proposed
H:\HOMElPLANNINGlBEVI422PC.DOC
Page 7, Item:---1-
Meeting Date:5/13/98
changes are noted in Exhibit 6.
7. Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Plan
Minor amendments are also required to maps within this document to reflect the revised
configuration of Parks P-7 and P-6. These proposed changes are noted in Exhibit 7.
Analysis
The proposed SPA amendment has been reviewed on several occasions by the Technical
Committee, which consists of City stafffrom the Engineering, Planning, Parks and Recreation,
Police and Fire Departments. Additionally, the location and configuration of the CPF and park
sites north of East Palomar Street were reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee. The
size of the sites was also approved by the Executive Committee. The size of the CPF sites are
in conformity with City requirements, and staff believes that the single larger site will provide the
opportunity for a significant architectural statement as opposed to the smaller more dispersed
sites. The overall creditable acreage for the park sites is consistent with the Otay Ranch
GDP/SRP requirement of2 acres per 1,000 residents. The additional I acre per 1,000 residents
will be met through the payment of PAD fees which will be used to construct the community
parks as contained in a condition of approval of the Tentative Map.
The deletion of Santa Rosa and the slight realignment of Santa Cora are necessary due to the
reeonfiguration of the neighborhoods south of East Palomar Street. The loop promenade street
(Santa Cora) will provide a strong landscape and visual element unifying this area. Additionally,
the reconfiguration of the neighborhoods and the location of single family and multi-family uses
is consistent with the goals of the GDP/SRP which encourages multifamily uses closer to the
transit stop.
Staff is in support of the Mixed Use proposal which surrounds the Town Square Park and
believes this furthers the neo-traditional concepts outlined in the GDP/SRP and will provide a
strong focal backdrop for the Town Square Park. The Town Square Park will be framed with
commercial on two sides, multi-family on the west and a CPF site to the north.
C. Tentative Map
The applicant has submitted a Tentative Map which is consistent with the proposed SPA and
GDP amendment. Neighborhoods R-40, 43 and 44 are multi-family sites that are not specifically
designed with this Tentative Map, however;-staffhas been working with the guest builder in
development oftheir Detailed Site Plans for Neighborhoods R-43 and 44: These multi-family
development sites will be reviewed by the Design Review Committee in the near future.
1. Neighborhood R-41
This neighborhood is proposed for 90 single-family lots on 44' x 90' pads. This neighborhood
is directly south of the Neighborhood Park P-7 and Santa Cora, a promenade street encircling the
park. All lots adjacent to Santa Cora will face onto the park. This design will provide "eyes on
the park" security and a greater sense of ownership of the park by adjacent residents. Lots in this

Meeting Date:5/13/98
neighborhood are served by the Residential Street Section A, which contains a 6- foot landscaped
parkway adjacent to the curb and a 4- foot sidewalk. Maintenance of the parkways will be by the
homeowner with enforcement by the Homeowner's Association, similar to the other McMillin
neighborhoods within SPA One.
2. Neighborhood R-42
This neighborhood consists of 74 duplex or single-family attached units on 9.6 acres. Consistent
with other neighborhoods in SPA One, these small lots are allowed to be served by Residential
Street Section B, which provides for a contiguous sidewalk. The through street (Sierra Verde
Drive) linking Neighborhoods R-41 and 42 is required to be Street Section A to provide
continuity. Lots in Neighborhood R-42 on Santa Cora will also front onto the park.
Analysis
The proposed Tentative Map was reviewed concurrently with the SPA One and GDP
Amendments at the Technical Committee. The Tentative Map is consistent with the proposed
GDP and SPA amendments. Conditions of approval have been developed by the various City
departments and are included for the Commission's review as an attachment to the Resolution
of Approval for the Tentative Map. Staff has some concerns regarding the appearance of the lots
in Neighborhood R-41 adjacent to the slopes along Olympic Parkway. Conditions of approval
have been incorporated to address this aesthetic issue.
Conclusion
Staff is in support of the GDP and SPA One Amendment including the proposed modifications
to the Village Design Plan and Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Plan. Additionally, staff
is in support of the proposed Tentative Map with the recommended conditions of approval.

SUBJECT:
OTAY RANCH TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP 98-04
Thank you for the opportunity to review the revised tentative map (TM) for Village 5. The
Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB) has reviewed the map and found it to be
consistent with the transit-oriented development objectives expressed in the Otay Ranch Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) One plan. In addition, John Haggerty, MTDB Desfgn Engineer, has reviewed
the light rail transit alignment and found it to meet our design criteria (see attachment).
The overall densities in the village core are lower than was anticipated in the SPA plan, but we
believe that the mix of apartments, duplexes, triplexes, and small lot single-family homes in the
core area meet the intent of the plan. However, we continue to encourage you to approve a range
of densities that would permit the developer to build a greater number of units if warranted by
future market conditions.
If you have any questions I can be reached at 557-4533.

II. LAND USE
The following provides a detailed description of Village One and
Village Five land uses, as depicted on the SPA One Land Use Plan
(Exhibit 1-6). Table 1-2 provides a comparison between the GDP
and SPA land use plans. Differences in acres (as described in more
detail below) are attributable to more precise road locations, open
space areas and development areas.
This portion of the document also analyzes the SPA land plan to
evaluate consistency between this SPA Plan and the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan. The following table sumarizes the dif-
ferences between the GOP defined Villages One and Five and the
scope of this SPA Plan.

GDP.
. The area west of Paseo Ranchero, including parcels not within
the Otay Ranch ownership (Ross, Dauz-Gorman and Gerhardt
parcels), must be comprehensively planned as a unit, except SPA,
GDP or General Plan Amendment application for one or more
of the non-Otay Ranch parcels will be considered without con-
current consideration of a SPA plan for the Otay Ranch parcels.
. The Comprehensive Plan for the area west of Paseo Ranchero
must include an evaluation of a general plan amendment for the
parcels not governed by the Otay Ranch GDP. The evaluation
should consider the factors discussed in this section.
. The Comprehensive Plan for the area west of Paseo Ranchero
should be prepared after the completion of the MSCP. or equiva-
lent regional habitat planning effort. but within 5 years of the
approval of SPA One.
. The combined total number of units authorized through the ap-
proval ofOtay Ranch SPA One east of Pas eo Ranchero. and any
subsequent processing of the SPA for the area west of Pas eo Ran-
chero may not exceed the total number of units authorized by
the Otay Ranch GDP (6.201 units) for these areas.
B. VILLAGE FIVE
Village Five is comprised of approximately 491acres located in the
northern portion of the Otay Valley Parcel, southwest of the planned
interchange ofSR-125 and Otay Lakes Road. The Otay Ranch General
Development Plan designates Village Five as an urban village to be
served by a light rail trahsit system. The Otay Ranch GDP and this
plan permits: 2,878 units. As an urban village, the Otay Ranch GDP
provides for an approximately lIS acre village core including
commercial uses, an elementaIy school site, neighborhood parks, CPF
land uses, and medium-high density housing.
The following table summarizes the GDP defined Village Five and
the scope of this document.

AI; depicted in Table 1-5 above, thete ate differences between the
acreages depicted in the GDP and SPA for Village Five. These dif-
ferences are attributable to the more precise level of planning un-
dertaken to prepare the SPA One Land Use Plan. For example, the
GDP included acreage for internal circulation in the single family
residential acreage - the SPA identifies internal circulation acreage
separately. The GDP included 6.6 acres of neighborhood park land
within the Village Five residential acreage, but the SPA identifies
neighborhood patk acreage separately. Village Five includes more
open space acreage because the GDP did not include the slope areas
adjacent to the Otay Water District Property in the open space to-
tals - the SPA Land Use Plan includes those open space areas.

I. Design Influences
The primaty design influence for Village Five is the pedestrian
friendly village concept established in the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan. Other influences reflect on-site conditions and
characteristics such as, landforms, biological resources, drainage
patterns, aesthetics, land use relationships and circulation patterns.
Existing development patterns and Chula Vistas General Plan poli-
cies for adjoining undeveloped land also influenced the design of
Village Five. The adjacent plans and uses include the regional open
space system, off-site circulation consideration, public facility con-
s--?

area of the village located to the northeast. The secondary area
includes single-family residential neighborhoods, with a range of
lot sizes and product rypes and several pedestrian park sites.
3. Land Use Plan
Village Five is an urban village, surrounded by major arterials and
buffered by open space. The land use plan incorporates the village
concepr with higher densiries wirhin the village core and decreasing
densities away from the village core area.
The land use pattern esrablished by rhe Oray Ranch GDP empha-
sizes balanced land uses, environmentally sensirive development,
transit/pedestrian orientation, a diverse economic base, diverse hous-
ing opportunities and land uses that offer a sense of place to Village
Five residenrs.
The Village Five Land Use Plan establishes single-family developments
from 4.1 to 5:9 fi.2 dwelling units/acre, and multifamily developments
from &1 1.5 to 33-;13J1.9. dwelling units/acre. The densities planned for
this Village are consistent with the approved Otay Ranch General
Development Plan. The village core includes medium-high density
residential units, a 10.0 acre elementary school site, a town square, two
neighborhood park sites, a transit stop and shelter, future light rail
transit right-of way, ~ 2.Jl acres ofcommerciallretail with ,..,.it/pnlinl
ahmiJJ and -I+.61Lf1 acres for Community Purpose Facilities.
The Village Five Land Use Plan (Exhibit 1-10) depicts single-family
and multi-family neighborhoods and the Land Use Plan summary.
4. Road Connections
In some instances, SPA identified road alignments differ slightly
from the alignments depicted in the GDP. As a "general" develop-
ment plan, rhe GDP anticipated and permits such modest changes
between the GDP and the SPA. These differences are necessary as
the land plan becomes more precise due to physical requirements of
the road location, grading consideration, and traffic safery require-
ments (such as, sight-distances, "T" intersections requirements and
road crossing separations).

25 The Otay Ranch GOP. and the PC Ordinance require that this SPA Plan comply with the PC
Ordinance provision of identifying 1.39 acres of CPF land per 1,000 residents. However, jf the
CPF land is not utilized or the PC standard is modified, the amount of CPF land will be adjusted
accordingly.
26 Per the Otay Ranch GOP, provide within the first phase in the City of Chuta Vista, Community
Purpose Facility land to satisfy the Telegraph Canyon Estates Specific Plan reCluiremenl (City of
Chula Vista Resolution No. 16960).

. The Otay Ranch GDP also requires that the first phase of devel-
opment of Otay Ranch within the City of Chula Vista shall sat-
isfY the affordable housing obligation for the Telegraph Canyon3l
Estates GDP and SPA plan.
. Provide an affirmative fair marketing plan which describes vari-
ous efforts to attract perspective home buyers regardless of gen-
der, age, race, religion, handicap or economic status.
Otay Ranch GDP pennits a total of 6;2(>>'" ; 79fi32 homes within
Villages One and Five. Satisfaction of the affordable housing
requirement for SPA One requires the provision of ~ i811 affordable
units. In addition, this phase of Otay Ranch development would have
to provide 34 affordable units in satisfaction of the Telegraph Canyon
Estates obligation.
The GDP requirement for rhe provision of affordable housing is
addressed in the Ranch-Wide Affordable Housing Plan (Appendix
H) and the SPA One Affordable Housing Plan (Appendix 1).
I. SPA One Affordable Housing Plan
The SPA One Affordable Housing Plan also identifies priority sites
within which affordable housing could be located in both Villages
One and Five. The alternative sites were selected based upon their
proximity to parks, schools, transit, retail and child care. Addition-
ally, the land plan was prepared with a range of multi-family densi-
ties sufficient to provide a wide range of opportunities for afford-
able housing within each village. The SPA One Affordable Hous-
ing Plan also identifies phasing criteria to ensure the provision of
affordable housing concurrent with the development of market rate
housing.
The Otay Ranch GDP supports "the use of accessory dwelling units
as an additional source of affordable housing for lower-income house-
holds." The SPA One Land Use Plan does not provide for acces-
sory dwelling units because there are many opportunities to pro-
vide units affordable to low-income households within the multi-
family units included within SPA One. Further, accessory dwelling
31 The Telegraph Canyon Estates obligation arises from a separate entitlement. The precise require-
ment is the provision of a 3 acre site for affordable housing within SPA One. The SPA Affordable
Housing Plan proposes thai the obligation be satisfied by providing sctursl units; 10% of the total
number of dwelling units within Telegraph Canyon Estates. 10% of the Telegraph Canyon project
equals 34 affordable units. 17low.income units arid 17 moderate income units.

Pha." 2A
Phase 2A is located in the northern portion of Village Five, south of
Otay Lakes Road. Phase 2A consists of 542 single family units and
a 90 unit multi-family site. Access to Phase 2A will be provided via
St. Clair Drive, from Telegraph Canyon Road. This phase is slated
for development early in the construction of SPA One because it is
anticipated that market conditions will be more favorable for single
family detached homes. Approximately one-half of the 2.0 acre
neighborhood park (P-9) is included within the single family
residential area northeast of the village core. H L1 acres of the M:6
6.4acre Village Five neighborhood park site (P-6) must be provided
consistent with the provisions of the PFFP.
Pha.e 2B
Phase 2B is located in the northwest portion of Village One, east of
Paseo Ranchero and north of East Palomar Street. This phase consists
of 433 single family units and a 140 unit multi-family site. Access to
the Phase 2B area is provided from Telegraph Canyon Road. It is also
envisioned that a pedestrian oriented Paseo would be included as part
of the western edge of Phase 2B. An 11.1 acre neighborhood park
(P-I) is included within the Village One core area. Park
improvements will be phased to meet SPA One demand. A .8 acre
pedestrian park (p-4) is also included in this phase, in the residential
area north of the village core.

Phase 4 is located in the southeastern portion of Village Five,

approximately 145 single family homes and 175 multifamily homes.
A .6 acre pedestrian park (P-II) is included in the Phase 4 single
family area. Access to Phase 4 will be provided via the extension of
East Palomar Street through Village Five. The second SPA One
elementary school located in the Village Five core area will likely be
constructed during Phase 4, consistent with the provisions of the
PFFP.

Phase 5 is the last SPA One phase and includes the western most
portion of Village One, including the village core and most of Village
One's multi-family units. This phase also includes site preparation for
all of the Village One CPF sites and the commercial sites. It is
anticipated that this phase will be developed last because the demand
for significant commercial activity will not occur until there is a
sufficient population base within Village One and the surrounding
community to support such uses. A similar rationale applies to the
larger CPF sites.
It is anticipated that the market acceptance for attached units will be
improved by the time Phase 5 is constructed. It is also anticipated that
development of higher density multi-family lots will significantly lag
development of the remainder of SPA One and may require that the
light rail transit is in operation to be feasible. The third SPA One
elementary school located west of Paseo Ranchero will be
constructed during Phase 5, depending upon the absorption and
student population associated with the build-out of SPA One homes.

development progress in other areas which will provide the
population necessary to support commercial and CPF activities in the
core.
Development of the multi-family units will be determined by market
demand. Multi-family development may occur over an extended

IliA. Community Purpose Facility (CPF)
The City ofChula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.04.055 requires
1.39 acres per 1,000 population for Community Purpose Facility (CPF)
Sites. A total offourteen and six tenths (14.6) acres ofland in Village
One and eleven and six tenths (++.6} (1Lf1). acres of land in Village
Five is designated for CPF use on six sites as indicated on both the
Land Use Map and on the Zoning District Map. The final CPF
requirement will be based on lot count at the Tentative Map stage.
Should additional acreage be required, the requirement will be met
through establishing a reciprocal parking agreement with public park,
commercial or other land uses for joint use of the parking area. Should
a joint use agreement not be established, the additional acreage shall be
reserved in another CPF site, which may be chosen at the Final Map
stage. Construction shall be precluded on that alternative site until a
joint use agreement is negotiated. Similarly, a joint use agreement for
parking, in advance of construction, shall provide the basis for a
reduction in CPF acreage.
111.5 Precise Plan
A Precise Plan will be required to be prepared and submitted for
review and approval for all areas in the Village Core District. A Master
Precise Plan may be prepared for the entire village core area and
updated with each significant new project. This precise plan shall
establish specific areas within the village core and will limit the lo-
cation of certain uses (eg., fast food, auto repair. etc.). This plan shall
be prepared in accordance with City standards.

111-1. Village Identity and Character
A. Village Setting
The SPA One project area is located within the Otay Valley
Parcel of the Otay Ranch GDP area and roughly in the center of
the Eastern Territories Planning Area described in the Chula
Vista General Plan. SPA One includes all of Village Five and the
portion of Village One east of the future extension of Paseo
Ranchero, as depicted by the GDP Land Use Plan.
Village Five is located directly east of Village One, with the
planned extension of La Media Road separating the two villages.
The extension of Olympic Parkway East Orange AVc.1ue will
define the southern edge of both villages. Village Five is also to
be served by the light-rail transit system, with a station planned
within its core. The 115 acre core is also planned to include
commercial, neighborhood parks, an elementary school site, CPF
zoned land, and medium-high density housing nses. The GDP
designates 1,263 single-family homes and 1,615 multi-family
homes with the village.
Village Five is bounded on the north by Telegraph Canyon
Road!Otay Lakes Road and the south by Poggi Canyon. The
entire Otay Valley Parcel has been farmed or grazed, leaving only
isolated areas ofvery fragmented sensitive habitat. The southern
edge of the village consists of the undulating slopes of eastern
Poggi Canyon. The northern edge of Village Five is Telegraph
Canyon (Vicinity Map).
Limited scenic views extend to Village Five from along
Telegraph Canyon Road and Olympic Parkway cut OrMge
A.enue, both identified in the Otay Ranch GDP as scenic
corridors. The village site has views to the surrounding
mountains to the northeast and east and to the Pacific Ocean to
the west.

Village Five Design Plan

Village Type and Orientation
The organization of traditional communities takes on a familiar
and logical form: a central community core with higher intensity
mixed uses, and a surrounding residential area. This organization
creates an understandable land use pattern and concentrates inter-
related land uses in an area which becomes a viable transit
service area. The GDP states that urban and transit-oriented
villages within the Otay Ranch should emulate this pattern and
include the components needed to allow the village to serve the
needs of its residents without unnecessary automobile trips.
Village Five is both an urban and transit-oriented village. The
village core is located in the southwestern portion of the village
and includes single-familyand multi-family mcdiUill-high dCiisity
residential units, an elementary school, two neighborhood park
sites, mixed-use (residential ahove,commercial/retail), and CPF
sites. The Village Five core identity is based on a traditional
town square design. This will be implemented with commercial,
office and public/quasi-public uses organized around a small tree-
lined square. The town square park will provide a focal point for
the village center and reflect a pedestrian orientation and urban
character due to its proximity to higher-density residential and
commercial uses. The town square is connected by a "paseo"
extending to the secondary area of the village located to the
northeast. The secondary area includes single-family residential

.
Provide CPF, commercial disnict and neighborhood park
synergy.
.
Reserve light rail transit ROWand station site.
.
Provide the "paseo" and other non-vehicular circulation
connections to Secondary Area(s).
. Utilize formal landscape and hardscape schemes in the design
for the Town Square commercial area.
2. Design Districts
The Village Core is divided into three design "districts" based on
the proposed land uses and the level of pedestrian orientation.
The most intense pedestrian orientation occurs at the commercial
core or "Town Square" and decreases generally with distance
from that focus area. A second district includes the park
site/pasco terminus, multi-family residential and CPF sites
immediately adjacent to the commercial district and along the
Village Entry Street. The third district includes the remaining
parcels within the Village Core which are primarily sin.gle-family
and multi-family residential,...and a park and cpr sites.
B. Design Features
This section highlights important features of the Village Core
Concept Plan and provides guidelines by design district in four
design areas: building/siting, pedestrian/vehicle/transit access,
urban character (landscape and/or hardscape), and
lighting/signing/street furnishings.
1. Commercial Coren-own Square District
The guidelines set forth in this section relate primarily to the
"Town Square" pedestrian oriented plaza/commercial area which
fronts on Parcels C-3 BdJ and C4. In applying these guidelines,
it should remembered that each of these parcels

PART THREE
.
Within building groups, architectural and accent lighting
should be indirect and subtle. Increased lighting levels
should highlight pedestrian areas to clearly defme the
pedestrian path. Service area lighting should be contained
within the service area boundaries/enclosure. The actual light
bulb for service area lighting should not be visible from
adj acent properties.
.
A Town Square Design Program should be formulated to
establish specific design parameters for all signage, theme
lighting, and street furnishings within the town square
commercial area. Signs and fixtures in this district should be
located and scaled for a pedestrian district. Signage should
inform and direct but not dominate the visual character of the
area.
2.
Entry Street District
This district relates primarily to the Park, CPF and multi-family
residential parcels found near the plaza commercial district and
fronting on the Village Entry Street. Although not a part of the
shopping street their visually prominent locations, proximity and
potential roles in providing access to the commercial area set
them apart from the other parcels in the Core. Because these
parcels front on the most highly trafficked street in the village,
the aesthetics and building design on these sites will generally be
more important than pedestrian orientation.
Bui1ding DesigJI/Siting
. Village landmark buildings should be sited in visually
prominent locations along the Village Entry Street (parcels
CPF-4,& CPF-5, & CPF 6). A landmark structure should be
similarly sited in the park (P-6) across from the Town
Square!Village Entry Street intersection.

[tAsrch .1Q 1.9.98 November 3, 1995
PART THREE
Response: Village Five meets the park standards through the
provision of pedestrian parks, neighborhood parks and a
community park located outside of the village per GDP policy.
The following policies shall guide the design of parks and open
spaces in Village Five:
Setbacks and landscaping shall be provided along Telegraph
Canyon Road/Poggi Canyon in keeping with the open space
scenic corridor guidelines which will be developed in the Overall
Ranch Design Plan.
Response: Setbacks are provided on Telegraph Canyon Road and
Olympic Parkway East o.AI1gc A~uuc (Poggi Canyon) varying
from 100 feet to 700 feet. Development of the corridors will be
consistent with the concepts in the Overall Ranch Design Plan.
The proposed underground water storage facility on the village's
eastern edge may include open space/recreation uses on its
surface, designed to include access from the village.
Response: Access is provided to the water storage facilities
in the event future recreation nses are deemed to be feasible.
Other Village Five Policies:
A visual analysis with photo simulations shllll be performed at the
SPA level to assess the visual impacts of development adjacent to
Poggi Canyon and Telegraph Canyon Road. Visual analysis
requirements will be defined in the Overall Ranch Design Plan.
Response: A visual analysis at key points along the Telegraph
Canyon and Poggi Canyon corridors is included in the SPA One
Environmental Impact Report.
Right-of-way for a transit line shall be reserved at the SPA level
and irrevocably offered for dedication at the Tentative Map level.

Project. The adopted mitigation measures are express conditions of approval. Other requirements are
referenced in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted concurrently with these Findings
and will be effectuated through the process of implementing the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL of the City
of Chula Vista does hereby find, determine, resolve and order as follows:
I. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence introduced before the Planning Commission at their public
hearings on the Draft EIR, the Recirculated DEIR and Addendum held on November 8, 1995,
November 15, 1995, March 27,1996 and March 28,1996, and their public hearing held on this
Proj ect on March 22, 1998 and the minutes and resolutions resulting therefrom, 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
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) claims.
II. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITII CEQA
That the City Council does hereby find that FEIR 95-01 and Addendum, the Findings ofF act, the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and the Statement of Overriding Considerations
are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the CEQA, the State EIR Guidelines and the
Environmental Review Procedures of the City ofChula Vista.
ill. CONSISTENCY WIlli THE GENERAL PLAN
The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
A THE PROPOSED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT IS IN
CONFORMITY WIlli THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Otay Ranch General Development Plan was found consistent with the Chula Vista
General Plan when it was approved on October 23, 1993. The Otay Ranch General
Development Plan Amendment is minor in nature and does not impact the land use,
circulation system, open space and recreational uses, and public facility uses set out in the
GD P. This amendment will still advance the goals and objectives of the Otay Ranch
GDP.

B. THE PROPOSED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT WILL
PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE
INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA
The SPA One Plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan contain provisions and
requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project. The Public
Facilities Financing Plan specifies the public facilities required by the Otay Ranch, and
also the regional facilities needed to serve it. The proposed amendments to master-
planned villages, transit, irrigation of fannland, solar energy requirements, residential
noise mitigation, habitat mitigation noise standards and habitat performance standards will
not have an impact on the sequential development of SPA One.
C. THE PROPOSED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT WILL NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT,
CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The villages within Otay Ranch are designed with an open space buffer adjacent to other
existing projects, and future developments off-site and within the Otay Ranch Planning
Area One. Four neighborhood parks will be located within the SPA One area to serve
the project residents, and the project will provide a wide range of housing types for all
economic levels. A comprehensive street network serves the project and provides for
access to off-site adjacent properties. The proposed plan follows all existing
environmental protection guidelines and will avoid unacceptable off-site impacts through
the provision of mitigation measures specified in the Otay Ranch Environmental Impact
Report. The proposed GDP amendments will not adversely affect adjacent land use,
residential enjoyment, circulation or environmental quality.

I. INTRODUCTION
The environmental review procedures of the City ofChula Vista allow the Environmental Review
Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an addendum to a Negative Declaration or Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) if one of the following conditions is present:
I. The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion of the Final
EIR (EIR-95-0 I) have not created any new significant environmental impacts not previously
addressed in the Final EIR.
2. Additional or refined information available since completion of the Final EIR regarding the
potential environmental impact of the project, or regarding the measures or alternatives
available to mitigate potential environmental effects of the project, does not show that the
project will have one or more significant impacts which were not previously addressed in the
Final EIR.
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide additional information and analysis concerning
traffic, service and land use impacts as a result of the proposed amendments. FEIR 95-01 analyzed
the impact of the development of the property as proposed to be developed as a planned community
site. As a result of this analysis, the basic conclusions of the Final EIR have not changed. Traffic and
public service impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project and were
previously addressed in EIR 95-01.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared the
following addendum to EIR-95-01.
y_!O
II. PROJECT SETTING
The project site is known as the Village Five area and forms part of the Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) One Plan which is located in the Otay Valley Parcel of the Otay Ranch. The Otay Ranch lies
in the Eastern Territories Planning Area of the City of Chula Vista. SPA One includes all of Village
Five and Village One east of Paseo Ranchero The SPA One Village Five Area contains
approximately 491 acres of gently rolling terrain. Elevations generally range from 400 feet to 600 feet
above mean sea level (msl). The Village Five Area is bounded by urbanized areas of the City of Chula
Vista to the north and east Villages One and Six are also presently undeveloped and are located west
and south of the Village Five respectively. Historically, the Otay Ranch property has been used for
grazing, dry-fanning and truck farming activities. These activities have generally removed the native
vegetation from the majority of the project site. The SPA One area is currently being graded.
The Otay Ranch SPA One is generally located in the center of the Eastern Territories Planning Area.
Access to the project site is presently provided via Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road, an
east-west arterial, which forms the northern boundary of the site. (See Exhibit "An)
The majority of SPA area is overlain by the San Diego Fonnation, a marine sedimentary deposit
dating to the middle or late Pliocene. The Otay and Sweetwater Fonnations contain volcanic
basement rocks of the Jurassic-age. These are uncomfonnably overlain (on-site) by Oligocene,
Pliocene, and Pleistocene sedimentary rocks.
The Village Five Area for the most part does not represent suitable habitat land for any of the
sensitive animal or plant species. There are a few areas west of the project site that are considered
to be habitat patches that occasionally may attract the California gnatcatcher, the cactus wren and
the sage sparrow. Agricultural areas in general may also provide habitat for raptor foraging and
perching.
m. PROPOSED PROJECT REVISIONS
The proposed amendments can be grouped in the following general categories:
1. General Development Plan policy amendments
2. SPA One Plan - Village Five core area amendments
a. Changes to residential densities
b. Changes to circulation
c. Combining Commercial and Multi-family as "Mixed Land Use"
d. Combining Community Purpose Facility sites.
e. Changes to park sizes and configurations
3. Village Design Plan - The proposed changes will also create inconsistencies in the Village
Design Plan. Amendments to numerous exhibits and text references will be necessary.
4. Tentative Tract Map - An amendment would need to be made to the adopted Tentative
Tract Map to reflect the changes to parcel configurations and circulation proposed in the
village core.
1. General Development Plan Policy Amendments
h:\home\planning\1indab\eir8302.adm
~-II
Page 2
a.) The amendments proposed to the General Development Plan include revisions to the policies
concerning the maximum and minimum densities required in the Village Five Core. Proposed
changes would be as follows:
Adopted Wording "The number of homes identified for the village core is a minimum and may
not be reduced." (PART II, Chapter I, Section F, Village Descriptions
and Policies: Village Core Policies, page 144.
Proposed Wording "The number of homes identified for the village core represents an urban
planning goal. Reductions in the number of multi-family units may be
approved as long as sufficient densities are provided to support bus and light
rail transit".
The proposed wording would also be added as an additional crilerion to
PART II, Chapter I, Section E, Implementation Mechanisms:, Paragraph 2a,
page 117.
2. SPA One Plan - Village Five Core Area Amendments
a.) Changes to residential densities - The residential parcels proposed for amendment include the
following: R-40, R-41, R-42, R-43, R-44, R-45, R-46

b.l) Project revisions include making Santa Rosa Drive and Santa Cora Drive form "T" intersections
with Palomar Street in order to improve sight distances. (See Exhibits "If' & "I")
Overall, it is anticipated that traffic impacts will be reduced ITom the adopted plan due to the
proposed reduction in (multi-family) density.
c.) Combining Commercial and Multi-family as "Mixed Uses"
The adopted plan includes separate parcels for commercial and multi-family uses in the village core.
h:\home\p1anning\Jindab\eir8302.adm
y- 12-
Page 3
The current proposed changes would have these uses ~velop as "mixed uses" adjacent to the Town
Square Park. The adopted 3.3 acres of commercially designated land would be removed and
replaced with a mixed use overlay on a portion of the multi-family parcels adjacent to the Town
Square. (See Exhibits "c" & "G")
d.) Community Purpose Facility Sites
The adopted plan includes three parcels for Community Purpose Facilities. The proposed plan
reconfigures these three sites into one large site to be located north of Palomar Street facing the
Town Square. The size of the new CPF site would be consistent with the project proponents
requirement to provide CPF site based on a reduced density. (See Exhibit "B")
e.) Changes to Park Sizes and Configurations
The proposed plan reconfigures park sites and reduces park acres to be consistent with the
amended densities. The plan maintains the system of park and pedestrian linkages from Telegraph
Canyon Road to Olympic Parkway. The proposed park sites are sufficient to meet the park
dedication requirements for all development in Village Five. ( See Exhibits "D", "E" & "F")
3. Village Design Plan
The changes proposed in the configuration and intensities of land uses in the core area create
inconsistencies in the Village Design Plan. This amendment includes an amendment to numerous
exhibits and text references in this document.
These would be considered minor technical changes corresponding to proposed land use policy
amendments outlined above.
4. Tentative Tract Map
An amendment will be required to the adopted Tentative Tract Map to reflect the changes to parcel
configurations and circulation proposed in the village core. Conditions of approval would need to
be amended to reflect the SPA and Tentative Tract Map changes. (See Exhibits "H" & "I")
These amendments represent technical changes resulting from the proposed land use and circulation
concept changes and which will be further analyzed by the preparation of a focused Traffic Study.
IV. COMP A TmILITY WITH ZONING AND PLANS
The Chula Vista General Plan Land Use Element designates land uses for Otay Ranch Villages One
and Five. For the subject site, the Chula Vista General Plan is implemented through the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan. The Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan will be consistent with
the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and the Chula Vista General Plan. The Otay Ranch
General Development Plan designates Village Five as an urban village to be served by a light rail
transit system. This concept will not change. As an urban village, the Otay Ranch GDP provides
for an approximately liS acre village core including commercial uses, an elementary school site,
neighborhood park, CPF land uses, and medium-high density housing. These general land use
concepts will be retained even with the proposed amendments.

V. IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
I. Public Services Impacts
Fire
The Fire Department states that the nearest fire station is about 3 mites away from the
proposed development site. The Fire Department further states that adequate level of fire
protection for the proposed development can be provided with implementation of the Otay
Ranch Fire Station Master Plan which includes building of new stations with manpower and
equipment over a phased time period.
The Fire Department states that additional comments will be provided when detailed
development plans become available.
Police Department
The estimated response time of 8 minutes and 30 seconds for Priority I calls and 8 minutes
and 32 seconds for Priority 2 calls are above the recommended thresholds. Staff at the Police
Department do not consider this significant and indicate that adequate police service will be
provided to the area and mitigation is not required. Upon the availability of specific site plan
development, the Police Department recommends a security evaluation by crime prevention
personneL
2. Utility and Service Systems
Schools
The Sweetwater Union High School District states that school impacts associated with
the proposed project have previously been negotiated. Full mitigation would require the
developers participation in the formation of a community facilities district (CFD) prior to the
issuance offinal maps. The Chula Vista Elementary School District indicates that they have
studied the proposed amendments and their position remains unchanged with respect to
retaining the designated school site within the Village Five Core area.
Traffic
The Threshold/Standards Policy requires that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur
during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. No intersection may reach
an LOS "F' during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway
ramps are exempted from this policy. The proposed project would comply with this
Threshold Policy.
The City Engineering Division has reviewed the proposed project and has determined that
h:'homelplanning~indabIcir8302.adm
7- If'
Page 5
the project will overall have less impacts to traffic as proposed. However, in order to
properly analyze specific street re-designs a traffic study will be required.
3. Open Space
No impacts to open space would result from implementation of the project
VI. ANALYSIS
The project consists of proposed amendments to adopted planning documents to the Otay Ranch
Village Five, the General Development Plan, the Otay Ranch SPA I Plan, the Village Design Plan,
and the Tentative Tract Map. The proposed changes do not involve additional land not previously
analyzed by EIR 95-0 I, The proposed amendments also do not introduce land uses not previously
analyzed by EIR 95-01.
The proposed amendments would re-designate 3.3 acres of land presently designated for commercial
use by the Village Design Plan to a mixed land use. A total of 30,000 square feet of commercial
space would be provided at ground level with the multi-family land uses to be located at the second
level. Overall, however, the number of multi-family dwelling units would decrease by about 422
units from the presently adopted SPA I Village 5 Plan.
The proposed changes would also affect the proposed street patterns. Local streets aimed at serving
the adopted 3.3 acre commercial site would be changed. The proposed street revisions would
improve sight distances and improve the overall circulation of the immediate area surrounding the
village core. It is anticipated that by reducing the commercially designated land and decreasing the
proposed number of multi-family dwelling units would tend to reduce both traffic and air quality
impacts.
Minor changes to the proposed parks are also proposed. The Neighborhood park known as P-6 will
retain the 6.4 acres but will be slightly re-configured. Neighborhood park P-? will be slightly
modified to conform with the proposed street re-alignment The Village Square P-8 will be slightly
reduced from the 1. 8 acres to 1. 0 acre. These proposed changes are found to be in substantial
conformity with the adopted plan.
The proposed changes to the density formula would also change the amount of required community
purpose facility sites. The proposed amendment would consolidate three sites designated for
community purpose facilities into one large site to be located north of Palomar Street facing the town
square. (This proposed change is found to be in substantial conformity with the adopted plan.)
Finally, amendments to the Village Design Plan and the tentative tract map represent technical
map modifications which would reflect land use and circulation concept changes and which will be
further analyzed by the preparation of a project specific traffic impact analysis.

Comments: The project site is currently vacant and in an unimproved condition. Existing
land uses consist of agricultural and cattle grazing activities. There are presently no improved
roads or habitable structures on the project site. The Otay Ranch General Development Plan
(GDP) is the City's planning document that implements the General Plan and Planned
Community (PC) zone. These documents will provide for the orderly pre-planning and long-
term development of large parcels of land. The provision for sectional planning area plans
(SP A) allows for the formulation of more detailed development plans that are necessary to
implement the PC Zone and GDP. The proposed amendments are as a result of more detailed
and current planning studies.
The proposed revisions to the corresponding adopted General Development Plan, SPA I Plan,
Village Core Design Plan and Tentative Map will result in less multi-family residential units
being developed. The project conforms to all plans and zoning for the project site. the
proposed changes to the affected planning documents will result in less impacts than were
previously reviewed by the adopted Environmental Document. The issues related to land use
compatibility, consistency with adopted plans, and the conversion of vacant land to an urban
use have been adequately addressed by Program EIR-90-01 and EIR.-95-Ol. No adverse impacts
are noted from the proposed project amendments.
I. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would
the proposal:
a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or
local population projections?
b) Induce substantial growth in an area either
directly or indirectly (e.g., through
projects in an undeveloped area or
extension of major infrastructure)?
c) Displace existing housing, especially
affordable housing?

Comments: The project site is undeveloped. The overall project is in substantial compliance
with approved plans. The proposed project consists of amendments to adopted land use
planning documents and would result in the project being developed with less intense uses.
Implementation of the project would assist the City's ability to meet housing and employment
needs within the area. As a component part of the overall Otay Ranch General Development
Plan, the SPA One Village Five project will contribute to meeting the projected demand per
SANDAG estimates for housing and employment. No adverse impacts to housing are noted
from the proposed project amendments. The issues of housing and growth were adequately
addressed by Program EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01.

Conunents: Regionally, the Otay Ranch is located within the Peninsular Range Geomorphic
Province. The Peninsular Range is composed of a series of northwest-trending uplifted blocks
which are separated by similarly trending faults. The Otay Ranch site is located in the
transitional area between the mountain-valley section and the coastai plain section. The inner
Continental Borderland is part of a broad zone of northwest-trending faulting associated with
the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. Based on a review of
published geologic literature and maps of the project area no active faults are known to
directly underlie the project site as was analyzed and determined by the Otay Ranch Final
Program Environmental Impact Report, (Dec. 1992). During the last 50 years, the San Diego
region has been characterized by little seismic activity. The most probable seismic event likely
to affect the proposed development would be an earthquake on the Rose Canyon fault, which
is located about 11 miles northwest of the project site. Mitigation has been included in both
EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01 that would require site-specific geotechnical studies prior to
construction to evaluate soil conditions and characteristics, areas of potential slope instability,
landslides, faults, liquefaction potential, and rippability characteristics.
The proposed amendments would not change adopted mitigation nor do these propose more
intense use of the land. No further mitigation would be required and no significant impact
is noted. These issues have been adequately addressed by EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01.
III. WATER. Would the proposal result in:
a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage 0 jgJ 0 0
patterns, or the rate and amount of surface
runoff?
b) Exposure of people or property to water 0 0 0 jgJ

j) Substantial reduction in the amount of 0 0 jgJ 0
water otherwise available for public water

Comments: These issues were adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01. The SPA One
Master Drainage Plan (Hunsaker and Associates) provides the framework for addressing the
issues relating to urban runoff, sedimentation, floodplain, encroachment, and water quality.
The increased flows expected at build out of SPA One which includes Village One and Village
Five can be mitigated through: 1) the provision of the detention facilities on-site as
recommended in the Master Drainage Plan, and 2) the payment of the Telegraph Canyon
drainage fee established at the time final maps within the basin are recorded. The SPA One
project site is not an area of significant groundwater recharge. Due to the filtering of
pollutants during percolation, in addition to the poor quality of existing ground water within
SPA One as described in the existing setting no significant impacts to ground water quality are
anticipated. The proposed mitigation measures and project design levels would reduce the
ground-water and surface water impacts to below a level of significance. The proposed
amendments would result in a reduction of approved residential densities and eliminate some
street sections thus reducing impacts to water resources. No adverse impacts are noted from
the proposed amendments.
IV. AIR QUALITY. Would the proposal:
a) Violate any air quality standard or
contribute to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants?

or the deterioration of ambient air quality?
Conunents: These issues were adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01. These EIRS'
considered pollutants from both stationary and mobile sources associated with the proposed
development. Mitigation measures were made a pan of the FEIR that covered the following
areas of potential sources of impact: construction, land use policies, siting! design policies, and
transportation-related management actions. The subject amendments propose to reduce the
number of multi-family residential units built and eliminate some local streets, thus potentially
having the result of lessening the overall impacts to air quality. Additionally, the proposed
mixed-use concept would help implement a land use mitigation measure found in EIR-95-01,
calling for a balanced mix of housing and employment possibilities to reduce trips and vehicle
miles traveled.
V. TRANSPORTATION/CmCULATION.
Would the proposal result in:
a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic 0 ~ 0 0
congestion?
b) Hazards to safety from design features 0 0 0 ~
(e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g.,

200 or more peak-hour vehicle trips.)
Comments: It is anticipated that the proposed amendments will result in less
traffic! circulation impacts. The proposed amendments would result in the removal of a local
street section intended as access to the 3.3 acre commercial site. Two street sections are
proposed to be re-aligned to improve local circulation. A minor traffic study will be prepared
to analyze the proposed changes to land use and street design. The analysis should provide
support for the proposed minor changes and will assist in the specific street design of the
development plans and tentative tract maps. The overall issues involving transportation and
circulation traffic impacts were adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01.
VI. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the
proposal result in impacts to:
a) Endangered, sensitive species, species of
concern or species that are candidates for
listing?
b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage
trees)?
c) Locally designated natural communities
(e.g, oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)?
d) Wetland habitat (e.g., marsh, riparian and
vernal pool)?
e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors?
f) Affect regional habitat preservation
planning efforts?

Comments: Impacts to biological resources have been adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and
EIR-95-01. The entire area within Village Five will be impacted at project build out with the
exception of a strip along its northern border which will preserved as open space. Project
development will result in impacts to approximately 47.2 acres of annual, non-native
grassland; 495.1 acres of agricultural land; 0.1 acres of disturbed habitat; 0.7 acres of
freshwater marsh; 0.3 acres of open water; and about 17.9 acres of developed land. Impacts to
non-sensitive habitats or developed land are less than significant. Freshwater marsh is the only
sensitive vegetation community that would be impacted in Village Five. The subject
amendments do not propose any new land area for development nor do they propose land uses
not previously analyzed by the corresponding adopted plans and environmental documents.
No new impacts' to biological resources are noted as a result of the proposed amendments.
The project will comply with mitigation relating to biota impacts as stipulated in EIR-90-01
and EIR-9S-01.
VII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES.
Would the proposal:
a) Conflict with adopted energy conservation 0 0 0 ~
plans?
b) Use non-renewable resources in a wasteful 0 0 0 ~
and inefficient manner?
c) If the site is designated for mineral 0 0 0 ~
resource protection, will this project
impact this protection?
Comments: It is anticipated that the proposed amendments which propose the removal of
of 3.3 acres of commercially designated land and the reduction of multi-family residential units
would result in lessened impacts to non-renewable resources. These issues were adequately
addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-9S-01.
vm. HAZARDS. Would the proposal involve:
a) A risk of accidental explosion or release of
hazardous substances (including, but not
limited to: petroleum products, pesticides,
chemicals or radiation)?

Comments: The proposed amendments would not pose a health hazard to humans. The
result of implementing these amendments would tend to lessen the overall impacts to land
development. These issues were adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01.
IX. NOISE. Would the proposal result in:
a) Increases in existing noise levels? 0 181 0 0
b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? 0 181 0 0
Comments: The primary noise source throughout the project area at full build out of the
adopted SPA I Village Five Development Plan would be from vehicular traffic. On-site noise
impacts would occur as development takes place on the Otay Ranch. Offsite noise impacts
would increase as regional traffic volumes increase due to growth and roadway segments are
widened. The degree of impact would depend on the location of the noise-sensitive receptors
in relation to those roadway as well as the project design. This issue has been adequately
addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01. The subject amendments propose to reduce
commercially designated land and eliminate local street sections designated to serve these
commercially designated lands. In addition, the proposed amendments would also reduce the
number of multi-family residential units adopted by the existing SPA I Village Five Plan.

Comments: Project impacts to governmental services have been adequately analyzed in Otay
Ranch EIR 90-01 and EIR-95-01. Appropriate mitigation has been adopted to address
potentially significant impacts from the overall project. The proposed amendments do not
propose any new additional development not previously analyzed. A reduction in land use
intensity is anticipated from the proposed revisions. See co=ents below.

XI. Thresholds. Will the proposal adversely impact
the City's Threshold Standards?
As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seen
Threshold Standards.
a) Fire/EMS
o
jgJ
o
o
The Threshold Standards requires that fire and medical units must be able to
respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5 minutes
or less in 75% of the cases. The City of Chula Vista Fire Department indicates that
this threshold standard will be met. The proposed project will comply with this
Threshold Standard.
Comments: The Fire Department indicates that it has no specific co=ents at this time.
However, fire and emergency service demand is detennined by response time which is affected
by roadway conditions, facility site location, and intensity of development. The proposed
amendments will result in less intense development because of considerable removal of
co=ercially designated land and a reduction in multi-family units. The previously adopted
Otay Ranch EIR-9D-01 and EIR -95-01 includes mitigation provisions for the construction of
the needed fire station facilities to be coordinated with the site specific development schedule.
Site specific co=ents will be made actual construction plans are received for review and
approval.

1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2
calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority
2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The Police Department response time for both Priority
1 and Priority 2 calls within the vicinity of the proposed project are slightly above
these Threshold Standards.
Comments: In order to address the need for law enforcement personnel and facilities, the
applicant has coordinated the preparation of a comprehensive Law Enforcement Master Plan.
With each specific development proposal, funher more detailed environmental review has
been and will be required to ensure adequate facilities and staff are available to serve the
project. This issue was adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01. The police
Department anticipates that adequate service will be provided to the project site as
development and associated mitigation incrementally and simultaneously proceed forward.
Any additional construction plans should be forwarded to the crime prevention unit for
evaluation.
c) Traffic

The Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of
Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D"
may occur during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections.
Intersections west of I-80S 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 anerials with freeway ramps are exempted from this
Standard. This Threshold Standard will be complied with by the proposed
proJect.

Conunents: The proposed amendments would affect three park designated areas within the
Otay Ranch Village Five Village Core Area. The proposed amendments represent minor
adjustments to the park configurations mainly for the purpose of accommodating adjacent
property owners and proposed street re-alignments. The parks will generally retain the same
size as shown in the adopted plans and with the same park focus. The park and community
purpose issues were adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR -95-01.

Conunents: The Engineering Department indicates that the project site is not within a flood
plain. The developer proposes storm drains that will flow to open channels south of
Telegraph Canyon Road or north of East Orange/Olympic Parkway. These issues were
adequately addressed in EIR-90-01 and EIR-95-01. The proposals will not change the overall
drainage concept and site specific development will be subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.

Conunents: The Engineering Division indicates that the proposed amendment will potentially
decrease sewage discharge by about 86,721 gallons per day. The adopted plan calls for the
southerly portion of Village 5 to connect to the proposed East Orange/Olympic Parkway
sewer main. The northerly portion of the Village 5 will connect to the existing sewer main
in Telegraph Canyon Road. The Engineering Division indicates that these will adequately
serve the proposed project. The subject amendments do not propose changes that would cause
new impacts to the Sewer Master Plan nor Engineering Standards.

The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission
facilities 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.
Applicants may also be required to panicipate in whatever water conservation or
fee off-set program the City of Chula Vista has in effect at the time of building
pennit issuance.
Comments: This issue was adequately addressed in EIR -90-01 and EIR-95-01. No new
impacts to water resources are noted from the proposed amendment.
XII. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS.
Would the proposal result in a need for new
systems, or substantial alterations to the
following utilities:
a) Power or natural gas? 0 jgJ 0 0
b) Communications systems? 0 jgJ 0 0
c) Local or regional water treatment or 0 jgJ 0 0

d) Sewer or septic tanks? 0 0 jgJ 0
e) Storm water drainage? 0 jgJ 0 0
f) Solid waste disposal? 0 0 jgJ 0
Conunents: These issues were adequately addressed in EIR-90-D1 and EIR-95-01. Calculations
by the Engineering Divisions indicate that the proposed amendments would result in a
decrease of solid waste by 7,194 lbs. and sewage discharge by 86,721 gallons per day. The
Engineering Division further indicates that the southerly portion of Village 5 will connect to
the proposed East Orange/Olympic Parkway sewer main and the northern portion of the
village will connect to the existing sewer main in Telegraph Canyon Road. These sewer lines
are adequate to serve the proposed project. The Engineering Division concludes by stating
that development impact fees and other fees must be adjusted to correspond to the diminished
impact these amendments will cause to the City's infrastructure.

XXI. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARA nON will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the
project. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the
environment, but at least one effect: 1) has been adequately analyzed in an
earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been
addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on
attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impacts" or "potentially
significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all
potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated
pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are
imposed upon the proposed project. An addendum has been prepared to provide
a record of this determination.

outside of the project area. Throughout the build-out of SPA One, actual development may differ
from the assumptions contained in the PFFP. Neither the PFPP nor any other SPA One document
grant the Applicant an entitlement to develop as assumed in the PFFP, or limit the SPA One's
facility improvement requirements to those identified in the PFFP. Compliance with the City of
Chula Vista threshold standards, based on actual development patterns and updated forecasts in
reliance on changing entitlements and market conditions, shall govern SPA One development
patterns and the facility improvement requirements to serve such development. In addition, the
sequence in which improvements are constructed shall correspond to any future Eastern Chula
Vista Transportation Phasing Plan or amendment to the Growth Management Program and
Ordinance adopted by the City. The City Engineer may modify the sequence of improvement
construction should conditions change to warrant such a revision.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: 3
Meeting Date: 05/13/98
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: DRC-98-l6 - Appeal of the Decision made by the Design
Review Committee - Hyun/JVP, Ltd.lAutoplex, Appellant
On April 3, 1998, the Appellant filed an appeal to the Design Review Committee's conditional
approval of DRC-98-16, based on the attached statement submitted with the appeal form
(Attachment 1).
The following staff reports and DRC minutes are attached as Attachment 2:

February 16, 1998 and
March 16, 1998
December 15, 1997
February 16, 1998
March 23, 1998
At each of the DRC meetings, the Project was considered and refined until on March 23, 1998
the DRC conditionally approved it. The letter conveying the DRC's final decision dated March
25, 1998 is also attached (Attachment 3).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission uphold the decision of the Design Review Committee and deny the
appeal, based on the proposed findings of fact contained in Section 5 below.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
On March 23, 1998, the Design Review Committee conditionally approved DRC-98-16 by a vote
of 3-1-1.
DISCUSSION:
1. PrQject Description/History
The Project Applicant's application, a 1,677 square foot, two story office building on a
vacant 4,544 square foot parcel was proposed, along with parking and associated site
improvements.
This Project was originally considered by the Design Review Committee on December 15,
1997, at which time it was continued for an indeterminate period to allow the Applicant
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No.3, Page No.2
to explore the following issues, as described in the attached letter dated December 19,
1997:
A. The use of reflective glass should be reevaluated.
B. The site plan should be revised and possibilities for shared circulation and parking
in conjunction with the neighboring parcel should be investigated.
C. The conceptual landscape plan should be reconsidered.
D. There should be more compatibility between this and the adjacent site and
buildings.
In the subsequent revised submittal for this Project, which was conditionally approved on
March 23, 1998, the Applicant complied with these conditions as follows:
C0111Pli~nce with Condition A. The Applicant submitted a revised materials board which
indicated a less reflective glass. Both boards will be available on May 13, 1998 for review
by the members of the Planning Commission.
Compliance with Condition B. It is staff's understanding that the respective property
owners were unable to come to any agreement on the matter of shared parking and
circulation. Although preferable, in staff's opinion, joint access and circulation is not
essential for either development to be able to function properly and they can operate
independent of each other.
Com.pli~nce with Condition C. The conceptual landscape plan was revised and approved
by the Design Review Committee on March 23, 1998.
Com.pliance with Condition D. The Applicant's architect revised the building's
architecture to be more compatible with the adjacent site and buildings. In staff's opinion,
the proposed office building offers an architecturally superior design for the Broadway
window to that of the industrial-type buildings which occupy the area to the south and east.
This can be seen in the elevations, cross sections and materials board.
2. Basis of Appellant's Appeal
The Appellant claims that by approving DRC-98-16, several guidelines in the Design
Manual related to compatibility, building placement, vehicular access and circulation, and
architecture were violated. The specific citations are in the attached statement submitted
by the Appellant.
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No.3, Page No.3
3. Staff's Response to Appellant's Appeal
In the appeal statement, the Appellant mentions several issues as basses for overturning the
approval and either denying the Project or drastically modifying it. These issues are listed
below:
A. Substandard lot size.
B. Building setbacks.
C. Building height.
D. Lack of landscaping or hardscaping.
E. Problematic site access.
F. Lack of reasonable relationship to the surrounding Autoplex.
G. Blockage of signs.
H. Interference with neighboring businesses.
I. Insufficient on-site parking for the proposed commercial building.
Staff Responses:
A. Substandard lot size - This is an issue which falls outside the purview of the Design
Review Committee's authority because it is not related to design. However,
notwithstanding the fact that the parcel size is nonconforming (4,544 sq.ft. vs.
5,000 sq. ft.), the Project parcel is a legal lot of record and the property owner can
not be denied his/her right to develop under these circumstances. The test for
development of a parcel relies on whether or not the building and associated
parking fit on the parcel and whether or not the other required City standards can
be met. This evaluation is done through the Design Review process and is not
determined by whether or not the parcel is substandard in size.
B. Building setbacks - This is a Zoning Ordinance requirement not related to design.
If the building were unable to meet the setbacks, a variance would be required.
The Design Review Committee does not have the authority to consider variances.
It should be noted, however, that the Project site is located in the CT -
Thoroughfare Commercial Zone which allows a 10 foot front setback, a zero side
setback and a zero rear when abutting a zero side yard. The building meets these
setbacks and a variance is not required.
C. Building height - This, too, is Zoning Ordinance requirement over which the
Design Review Committee has no authority to vary. Either the project meets the
height or the Applicant must apply for a variance. The proposed two story
building is to be 23 feet high, which is much less than allowed by the Zoning
Ordinance which sets the maximum height at three and one-half stories or 45 feet.
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No.3, Page No.4
D. Lack of landscaping or hardscape - A copy of the approved landscape plan is
included in the packet distributed to the members of the Planning Commission.
The City's Landscape Manual states that 10% of a parking area should be utilized
for landscaping. The 10% is used as a guide to break up large expanses of
parking. The subject property, being small by commercial standards, has a very
limited parking need and thus a combination of landscape and hardscape has been
used.
E. Problematic site access - This Project was reviewed by the City's Traffic Engineer
who determined that site access is adequate for a project of this scale.
F. Lack of reasonable relationship to the surrounding Autoplex - Because of concerns
related to architectural compatibility with surrounding buildings, various aspects
of the Project were considered by the Design Review Committee on three different
occasions, as indicated in Attachment 2. Through this process, the Committee was
convinced that the Project, as approved, would bear a reasonable relationship to
the nearby facility. Building colors and style, although obviously for an office
building, are nonetheless compatible with the Autoplex structures.
G. Blockage of signs - As of the writing of this staff report, there were no signs on the
west elevation of the nearest building. In addition, any signs on the adjacent
building would be partially blocked by existing trees.
H. Interference with neighboring businesses - Attachment 4 indicates the footprint of
the approved building and the property lines for the Project, which has a 79 foot
frontage on Broadway, and the area of the Autoplex, which has a frontage of
approximately 300 feet, also on Broadway. The Autoplex has several entrances off
of Broadway, none of which are hindered by the Project. With the exception of
the opposition from the Autoplex, staff is not aware of any other opponents to the
Project.
I. Insufficient on-site parking for the proposed commercial building - As pointed out
earlier in this report, certain requirements are addressed in the Zoning Ordinance
and the project must meet these or the Applicant must apply for a variance. The
Design Review Committee has no authority to vary from these requirements. It
should be noted, however, that the approved building is to be 1,677 sq.ft. once
built. The Zoning Ordinance requires one parking space per three hundred square
feet (I :300). Based on the building's proposed size, 5.59 parking spaces are
required (1,677/300 = 5.59). The Project contains six parking spaces. The
Project meets minimum Zoning Ordinance requirements for parking.
The Project departs in minor ways from the development to the south and east due to the
fact that it is an office building and not an auto repair facility. The Project nevertheless
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No.3, Page No.5
implements the spirit of the Design Manual by adhering to the overall guidance given
therein. It should be noted that the opening paragraph of the introduction of the Design
Manual sets the tone for the design and decision-making process involved in determining
the overall development patterns in Chula Vista. This paragraph states:
"The Design Manual provides guidelines to assist the city and the
development community to achieve a high quality of aesthetic and
functional design. The guidelines are applied in conjunction with
development standards in implementing the city's design review
process. Although these guidelines are expected to be followed,
they are general and may be interpreted with some flexibility in
order to encourage creativity on the part of project designers. "
Two key words are important in this paragraph: ~uide]ines and flexihility. The Design
Manual is intended to act as a guide in development projects, otherwise, the development
that comes into Chula Vista would be misdirected and of a substandard quality to the rest
of the County. As it now is, the development being attracted to Chula Vista is coming
because of a combination of factors including, but not limited to, appropriate and flexible
design guidelines, economic development, expediting of processes, quality of life factors,
and flexibility in the decision-making process.
The Design Manual is meant to be flexible. Without flexibility, the newer projects could
turn out to be exact copies of what now exists. In cases where the design is already at
very high quality, this is appropriate, but where the surrounding area's buildings are of a
mixture of design quality, the decision-making process allows for flexibility, thus ensuring
ever advancing architectural quality and design.
4. Conclusion
It is staff's opinion that Appellant's basis for appeal and request for denial or significant
modification should be denied by the Planning Commission and the original approval by
the Design Review Committee upheld, based on the foregoing information.
5. Proposed FindiT\is of Fact
If the Commission concurs with the recommendation to uphold the decision of the Design
Review Committee, it is recommended that the following findings be included:
A. The proposed Project is in overall conformance with the guidelines and standards
contained in the Design Manual.
B. The proposed Project is consistent with the intent and the guidelines of the
"Commercial" section of the Design Manual as follows:
DRC-98-16: Appeal Item No.3, Page No.6
i. The Project's scale is proportional to nearby buildings and is appropriate
given the parcel size. The Project does not overwhelm facilities to the
south and ease by being an out-of-character style.
ii. Given the constraints on parcel size, the quality of the site planning and
architecture implement the guidelines of the Design manual in that the

DESIGN REVIEW CASE NUMBER DRC-98-16
WHEREAS, a duly verified Appeal, DRC-98-16A, appealing the Design Review
Committee's approval of DRC-98-16 was filed with the Planning Department of the
City of Chula Vista on April 3, 1998 by Hyun/JVP, Ltd./Autoplex; and
WHEREAS, said appeal requested the that the conditional approval of DRC-98-
16 be reversed and denied or drastically modified by the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set the time and place for a hearing on
said appeal application and notice of said hearing, 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 300 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property
at least ten days prior to the hearing; and
WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely
7:00 p.m., May 13, 1998 in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the
Planning Commission and said hearing was thereafter closed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission hereby
makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed Project is in conformance with the guidelines and
standards contained in the Design Manual.
B. The proposed Project is consistent with the intent and the guidelines of
the "Commercial" section of the Design Manual as follows:
i. The Project's scale is proportional to nearby buildings and is
appropriate given the parcel size. The Project does not
overwhelm facilities to the south and ease by being an out-of-
character style.
ii. Given the constraints on parcel size, the quality of the site
planning and architecture implement the gUidelines of the Design
manual in that the Project's architecture, landscaping and parking

ATTACHME)\l TO
APPEAL FORM
DECISION BEING APPEALED:
The Appellant, owner of the adjoining Autoplex development hereby appeals the decision
of the Design Review Committee on this project. This appeal is based on the fact that the review
committee failed to discharge its duties by ignoring numerous sections of the Chula Vista Desi!!I1
Manual, and by approving this project even though it is clearly in violation. of the provisions -;f
the Manual and the standards it is designed to support.
The project in question seeks to develop a legal, but for all practical purposes, substandard
lot. The structure design will literally fill the parcel with little or no setback, virtually no
landscaping other than hardscape, and very poor access. It bears no reasonable relationship to
the Autoplex which surrounds it. Virtually all adjacent properties are comfortably sited on their
parcels, leaving room for adequate setbacks and attractive landscaping.
The design manual, in Section 3, page 2, states "Structures should be sited in a manner
that VI'ill complement adjacent structures. Sites should be developed in a coordinated manner to
pro\'ide orderly diversity and to avoid jumbled confusion." In the same section, it further states
"the arrangement of structures, parking and circulation areas, and open spaces, should recognize
the particular characteristics of the site and should relate to the surrounding built environment in
patt=, function, scale, character and materials. In developed areas, new projects should meet
or exceed the sUll1dards of quality which have been set by surrounding development." On page
3 of the same section it states "Building setbacks should be proportionate to the scale of the
structures and considerate of existing development. Larger structures should require more setback
area for balance of scale and so as not to impose on neighboring uses." This project violates all
of the above standards.
In addition, the placement of this structure on its lot could not be worse. In its
recommended location, it will block signage of the adjoining Autoplex and interfere with business
uses there. The recommended parking and access to the building create dangerous conditions,
and will lead to overburdening of adjacent parking to which this project is not entitled.
The project as designed violates Section 3, pages 3 and 4, of the Manual regarding
vehicular access and circulation in that it does not promote safety, efficiency and convenience.
Further, the project entry will be so obscure as to encourage encroachment on adjoining
properties.
The project violates Section 3, page 8, of the Manual by not being architecturally
compatible with the surrounding area. The height of the building will be inconsistent with
adjoining development. Further, the project is totally out of scale with its surroundings.
F or these stated reasons, we believe this project should be denied or drastically modified
and urge the Planning Commission to take that action.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item:
Meeting Date: 05~13/98
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: DRC-98-16 - Appeal of the Decision made by the Design
Review Committee - Hyun/NP, Ltd./Autoplex, Appellant
Resolution No. A Resolution of the Planning Commission of the
City of Chula Vista Upholding the Decision of the Design Review
Committee as related to the Conditional Approval of DRC-98-I6
On April 3, 1998, the Appellant fIled an appeal to the Design Review Committee's conditional
approval of DRC-98-I6, based on the attached statement submitted with the appeal form
(Attachment 1). The staff report to and minutes of the Design Review Committee of March 23,
1998 are attached (Attachment 2), as well as the letter conveying the DRC's decision dated March
25, 1998 (Attachment 3).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the P1anninf Commission uphold the decision of the Design Review Committee and deny the
appeal.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
On March 23, 1998, the Design Review Committee conditionally approved DRC-98-I6 by a vote
of 3-1-1.
DISCUSSION:
1. PrQject Description/History
The Project Applicant's application, aI, 677 square foot, two story office building on a
vacant 4,544 square foot parcel was proposed, along with parking and associated site
improvements. The Applicant apparently desires to use the building for office work.
This Project was originally considered by the Design Review Committee on December 15,
1997, at which time it was continued for an indeterminate period to allow the Applicant
to explore the following issues, as described in the attached letter dated December 19,
1997:
A. The use of reflective glass should be reevaluated.
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No. _, Page No.2
B. The site plan should be revised and possibilities for shared circulation and parking
in conjunction with the neighboring parcel should be investigated.
C. The conceptual landscape plan should be reconsidered.
D. There should be more compatibility between this and the adjacent site and
buildings.
In the subsequent revised submittal for this Project, which was conditionally approved on
March 23, 1998, the Applicant complied with these conditions as follows:
C01T1Pli~nce with Condition A. The Applicant submitted a revised materials board which
indicated a less reflective glass. Both boards will be available on May 13, 1998 for review
by the members of the Planning Commission.
Compliance with Condition B. It is staff's understanding that the respective property
owners were unable to come to any agreement on the matter of shared parking and
circulation. Although preferable, in staff's opinion, joint access and circulation is not
essential for either development to be able to function properly and they can operate
independent of each other.
C01T1Pli~nce with Condition C. The conceptual landscape plan was revised and approved
by the Design Review Committee on March 23, 1998.
COTllPliance with Condition D. The Applicant's architect revised the building's
architecture to be more compatible with the adjacent site and buildings. To some extent,
in fact, the proposed office building is architecturally superior to the industrial-type
buildings which occupy the area to the south and east. This can be seen in the elevations,
cross sections and materials board.
2. Basis of Appellant's Appeal
The Appellant claims that by approving DRC-98-16, several guidelines in the Design
Manual related to compatibility, building placement, vehicular access and circulation, and
architecture were violated. The specific citations are in the attached statement submitted
by the Appellant.
5. Staff's Response to Appellant's Appeal
Although it is plain that the Project departs somewhat from the development to the south
and east, it, nevertheless, implements the spirit of the Design Manual by adhering to the
overall gnidance given therein. Before going into specifics, however, it should be noted
that the opening paragraph of the introduction of the Design Manual sets the tone for the
DRC-98-16: Appeal
Item No. _, Page No.3
design and decision-making process involved in determining the overall development
patterns in Chula Vista. This paragraph states:
"The Design Manual provides guidelines to assist the city and the
development community to achieve a high quality of aesthetic and
functional design. The guidelines are applied in conjunction with
development standards in implementing the city's design review
process. Although these guidelines are expected to be followed,
they are general and may be interpreted with some flexibility in
order to encourage creativity on the part of project designers. "
Two key words are important in this paragraph: ~uidelines and flexibility. The Design
Manual is intended to act as a guide in development projects, otherwise, the development
that comes into Chula Vista would be misdirected and of a substandard quality to the rest
of the County. As it now is, the development being attracted to Chula Vista is coming
because of a combination of appropriate, but superior, design guidelines. economic
development, quality of life factors, and flexibility in the design and decision-making
process.
The Design Manual is meant to be flexible. Without flexibility, the newer projects would,
at a minimum, be exact copies. of what exists now. In cases where the design is already
superior, this is appropriate, but where the surrounding area's buildings are of a lesser
design quality than that being proposed, the design and decision-making process allows for
flexibility in order to bring the area standard up. This way, when future development is
built nearby, it must meet the higher set standard than it would have met in the absence
of a flexible design and decision-making process.
6. Conclusion
It is staff's opinion that Appellant's basis for appeal and request for denial or drastic
modification should be denied by the Planning Commission and the original approval by
the Design Review Committee .upheld, based on the foregoing information.

2. Site Plan
The proposal constitutes an innovative use of a very constrained site. Since it is
unlikely that this site could have been used in any way other than the proposal,
S".aff feels that a few minor concessions can r::asonably be made in the area of
~rcentage of landscaping. However, the site is surrounded by a parking lot, which
presents some unique challenges, some of which have not been completely met.
Vehicles parked along the north property line overhang the 2 foot wide
"landscape" strip between this and the adjacent parcel. There is no room on the
site to widen the strip, so it would remain a rather strange break between the two
parking lots. Staff therefore recommends that something such as a decorative
fence be incorporated along the north property line to accentuate the separation
berween parcels.
It is not clear why there is a concrete sidewalk along the front of the building
adjacent to the Broadway right-of-way. Because of the shortage of planting area,
staff recommends that all but the area of the sidewalk adjacent to the building
entrance be eliminated and replaced with landsC3ping.
DRC-98-16
-4-
December 15,1997
3. Landscaping
As already discussed, there is a smaller percentage of this site in landscaping than
would normally be expected. Being a smaller area, it is important that. the most
variety and interest be incorporated into the 1aDdscaping to gain the maximum
1>::nefit from the small area. The proposed landscape concept plan does Dot make
a sufficiently strong statement and staff recommends that a revised landscape plan
1>:: submitted. .
Tne revised planting plan should provide for some foundation plantings to act as
tranSitional e1ements and soften the base of the building. It should also provide a
wider nmge of color and, to maximize the small area, incorporate some boulders
or other scu1ptural elements.
4. Architecture
The building is simple but effective, using differing stucco textures, reglets and
reflective glass to add interest to the building. Notes on the elevations indicate that
1k horizontal reveal (regJet) is 2" while the vertical is only 1/2". This difference
does not show on the elevations, and staff feels that, were it to be indicated, the
effect would be the same as on the actual building: the vertical reveal would be
virtually invisible. It is not c1ear whether the reveal is proposed to be painted in
a contrasting color, but doing so would provide an additional enhancement.
Tne south elevation, which is probably the most visible elevation, is the plainest.
Staff recognizes that building code requirements prevent incorporation of openings
(windows or doors) into a wall along a property line, which limits options for
enhancing that elevation. While it might not make sense to continue the spandrel
~1~5S from the northwest elevation around the south side of the building, a
contrasting stucco band at the level of the spandrel gJass might give the appearance
of continuation and might have a positive effect on the south elevation. That,
coupled with an increased width in the vertical reveal and the incorporation of a
contrnsting color in the reveal, would give more interest to the south elevation.
5. Sims
No sign proposal is inc1uded in the submittal, although it is assumed that either a
'wall sign or a combination of wall and monument signs will be requested. A
condition is recommended to at least require staff approval of any sign proposal.
Should the applicant wish to have a freestanding sign, a condition requiring a
monument sign only is recommended, approval of which could be at a staff level
unless staff has concerns about the consistency of the sign design with the buiJding,

The Engineering Department was asked to co=ent on this proposal and a copy
of their response is attached. Since that response, which notes an inadequate
driveway width, the plans were revised.

Staff Presentation
Design Review Coordinator, Ms. Ann Pedder Pease, reviewed the proposed project
which cOJJSist of a two-story stucco structure and six parking spaces, landscaping, a trash
enclosure, and other site improvements. Ms. Pease reviewed the site plan, and explained
possible concerns that the adjacent neighbors might have. She stated to the Committee
that staff would like to see the elevatioJJS enhanced.
Applicant's Presentation
Mr. Jose Martinez, project designer. reviewed the proposed project and the parking. He
indicated to the Committee that he did not have any concerns with staff's
recommendatioJJS.
Public Input
Two major issues were noted by representatives of the neighboring adjacent property
owner: ingress and egress is limited, and the elevation facing south property line is to
plain.
Committee's Discussion/Concerns
During discussioJJS, the Committee concurred that the building was not compatible with
the neighboring automotive service center. Other areas of concerns expressed by the
Committee were: lack of articulation on the south elevation; fencing; minimal
landscaping; signage; and the use of reflective glass.
The Committee agreed that the project should be continued to allow the project designer
some time to address the issues of concern. They indicated that when the project does
come back to them they would like to see; a detailed site plan, detailed landscape plan,
a revised architectural design, a driveway/paving plan, and for the applicant to eliminate
the use of reflective glass.

1. Staff recommends that the trash enclosure be relocated to its originally proposed
location as it is too visible at the new location just off Broadway and that the
revised landscape plan show it near the llOrtheast corner with enhanced
landscaping.. In addition, staff recommends that elevations of the trash enclosure
be submitted for review by the Zoning Admini~trator to ensure that the design,
treatment and details match the proposed building.
2. Staff recommends that this addition be architecturally integrated with the proposed
51TUcmre by:
a.. Adding the "Flute Detail" (No.9 on the Elevations Plan) to the top of this
structure.

4. Staff recommends that the revised landscape plan show this one foot wide step-out
and that this be review by the Landscape P1aDner.
5. Staff recommends that the Applicant execute a lot consolidation through the
Engineering Department prior to the submittal for building permits.
C. Implementation of Previo1L~ Condition~ of Approval
On December 15, 1997 the Design Review Committee continued this project until the
Applicant could explore the following issues:
1. The use of reflective glass should be reevaluated.
Evaluation: The Applicant has submitted a new materials board showing a smoked
glass finish to the building's windows. This glass is less reflective than that
originally proposed.
2. The site plan should be revised and possibilities for shared circulation and parking
in conjunction with the neighboring parcel should be investigated.
Evaluation: The eastern access point to the project site has been widened. This
will allow easier ingress and egress from and to the adjacent the property.
3. The conceptua1landscape plan should be reconsidered.
Evaluation: The revised landscape plan has the lrash enclosure moved from the
northeast corner of the property to approximately 10 feet inside the property line
Dear the northwest corner. Landscaping surrounds it on three sides, especially
along the west side. Staff recommends that the trash enclosure be relocated to
its oriVnlllly proposed location as it is too visible at the new location just off
Broadway and that the revised landscape plan show it near the northeast
comer with enhanced landscaping. In addition, staff recommends that
elevations of the 1rash enclosure be submitted for review by the - Zoning
DRC-98-16
- 3-
February 16, 1998
A. nmini<;trator to ensure that the design, treatment and details match the
proposed building.
Additional landscaping has been added along the western frontage of the .building
in a wider landscaped buffer. Stamped, colored concrete has also been added at
the building's front and across the driveway.
Llmdscaping near the southeast corner has been reduced due to the introduction of
a utility room and SDG&E room. Still, there are two trees, an understory and
groundcover.
4. There should be more compatibility between this and the adjacent site and
buildings.
The glass tent, accent and textured colors are more in keeping with the colors of
the existing buildings on the auto service complex to the south and east.
In addition to the above, the following items were included ill the staff report and were
listed as conditioDS of project approval. How the Applicant has implemented each condition
is evalua!ed:
I. A proposal for a decorative fence to be incorporated into the landscape strip along the
north property line shall be submitted to staff for review and approval prior to
submittal for building permits.
Evaluation: .As, mentioned earlier in this report, a decorative, 'Wrought iron and pilaster
fence is shown along the most of the length of the northern property line. There
appears to be a gap immediately behind the trash enclosure, however, and this gap
should be :filled to ensure complete screening.
2. The sidewalk on the west side of the bUilding shall be e~ated, with the exceprion
of the area immediately adjacent to the building entrance, and shall be replaced with
. landscaping.
Evaluation: The Applicant has revised the landscape plan and included landscaping
in this area.
3, Arevised landscape plan sha1l be submitted to the City Landscape Planner for review
and approval prior to submittal for building permits.
This condition will be implemented prior to submittal for building permits.
DRC-98-16

February ]6, 1998
4, Tne south eJevation shall be enhanced, either by incorporation of another contrasting
color band Dr more emphasis by way of color or width being placed on the reveal in
the stucco. A proposal for the enhancement of the south 'elevation shall be submitted
to staff for review and approval prior to submittal for building permits. .
Evaluation: The Applicant's architect has added enhancements on the south
elevation by framing two panels of ~ building in stucco plasteF that will be heavy
textured and contrasts with the proposed light textured stu= .color of the primary
wall. The framed portions of the primary wall is recessed about one foot from the
surrounding enhancement and has reveals aligned with the windows on the other
elevations.
5. All roof-mounted equipment shall be fully concealed behind parapets or other
architectural elements of the building.
Evaluation: This will be enforced at the building' permit application phase.
6. A graffiti-resistant or sacrificial coating shall be specified for all wall surfaces.
Evaluation: This will be enforced at the building permit application phase.
7. A proposal for any sign contemplated for this site shall be submitted to staff for
review and approval prior to submittal for a sign permit. If a free-standing sign
is proposed, it shall be a monument sign, located in a landscaped area and shall be
subject to design review processing.
Evaluation: This will be implemented at such time as the Applicant submits an
application for a plarmed sign program.
8. All requirements of the City Eng}neering Department shal1 be met to the
satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Evaluation: This will be enforced at the building permit application phase.
D. Issues Related to the Revised Plans
Staff has evaluated the Applicant's revised plans and recommends that the following
conditions be added to those above, subject to approval by the Zoning Arlministrator:
1. The revised plans include a utility room and SDG&E electric room. Stafr
recommends that this addition be architecturally integrated with the proposed
structure by:
DRC-98-16
-5-
February 16, 1998
a. Adding the "flute Detail" (No.9 on the Elevations Plan) to the top of
this sirncture.
b. Matrhing the south wall of this structure to the "Stucco Plaster Heavy
Textured" finish (No.7 on the Elevations Plan) as it is the same plane
as the enhancement.
.
c. The east wall should also reflect the "Stucco Plaster Heavy Textured"
detail.
2. With the addition of the decorative wall, the parking stalls are too short at 18'.
The back-up area is the 24' standard width, but the building :fills the Tem~in;ng
space to the property line. Staff recommends that the building be narrowed in
order to accommodate the 19' parking stall and 24 ' back-up requirements.
3. .t>u any point where a parking stall is next to a landscaped area on either the driver
or passenger side, a one foot wide step-out strip needs to be added in the planter.
Staff recommends that the revised landscape plan show this one foot wide
step-ont and that this be review by the Landscape Planner.
4. Upon reView of the Comer Record submitted by the Applicant, the Engineering
Department has determined that a lot consolidation map must be executed prior to
submittal for building permits. The recordation of this document will secure owner
rights to construct on the portion of Lot 7, Map 729 that is shown as part of the
overall project.

reviewed the remaining staff recommendations listed in the staff repon.
Mr. Ken Lee reviewed the concerns that were brought up by representati,:es of the
neighboring property at the December 15, 1997 meeting, which focused on the
ingress/egress, and the lack of anicularion on the south elevation.
Applicant's Presentation
Mr. Jose Maninez, project designer, reviewed the proposed project and stated that he
had no concerns with moving the trash enclosure. He indicated to the Co=ittee thai
he did not oppose to the remaining staff reco=endarions. Mr. Hernandez reviewed the
proposed fencing for the project.
Comminee's Discussion/Concerns
During discussions, th~ Committee concluded that th~ "fluting" at th~ top of the building
was not necessary, and that comparibiliry with the neighboring automorive service center
could b~ accomplished with the building colors. Other areas of concerns expressed by
the Committee were: the trash enclosure - the Committee would like to see this moved
to the rear of the sir::; elevations - should reflect a continuous scheme on all sides of the
building; fencing - details integrated with the building elevarions; the utility room
should be architecrurally integrated with the proposed structure. It was noted that
Committe~ would like to see a detailed landscape plan, and samples of the tile materials.
The Committee agreed that the project should be continued to allow the project designer
some rim~ to address the issues of concern.
Public Innut
The property owner, and a representative of the neighboring adjacent property owner
spoke in opposirion to the project as proposed. They expressed concerns with the ingress
and egress, and still felt that the project was not architecturaIJy compatible with the
existing automotive service center, noting: the proposed building was taller than the
existing auto center buildings and was not proposed split face block to match the center.

ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: SUPS-98-04 - Request to Operate a Public/Quasi-Public
Institutional Use at 691 Oxford Street in the COop (Office Commercial -
Precise Plan) Zone - Palomar Station, LLC
BACKGROUND: The Applicant, Palomar Station, LLC, is requesting approval of a Special
Use Permit in order to lease their property to the County of San Diego who proposes to operate
the Family Resources Center at 691 Oxford Street in the COop (Office Commercial - Precise
Plan) Zone.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the Project is generally exempt
pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act.
At its meeting of April 7, 1998, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA)
and Rezone for the subject property. The GPA involved amending the General Plan Land Use
Diagram for the subject property to change the designation from Open Space/Research & Limited
Manufacturing to Professional & Administrative Commercial, while the Rewne involved changing
the property's wning from R-I (Res. Single Family) and IL-P (Industrial Limited - Precise Plan
overlay) to COop (Office Commercial- Precise Plan).
RECOMMENDATION: Planning Department and Community Development Department staff
recommend that the Planning Commission approve Resolution No. SUPS-98-04 recommending
that the Redevelopment Agency adopt the attached draft Redevelopment Agency Resolution No.
approving the request for a Special Use Permit to operate a Public/Quasi-Public land
use in the COop Zone.
DISCUSSION:
1. Site Characteristics
The seven acre project site is located on the north side and at the westerly terminus of
Oxford Street. To the north of the Project site is Harborside Elementary School. To the
east is Costco, while to the south are industrial and commercial land uses. To the west is
the San Diego Trolley and Industrial Boulevard. There is no direct access to either the
trolley line or to Industrial Boulevard. Across Industrial Boulevard are multi-family
dwellings and a mobile home park.

3. PrQposa]
At this time the Applicant is requesting approval of a Special Use Permit for a
public/quasi-public land use. If the Special Use Permit is approved, the Applicant will
move forward with a Design Review proposal, DRC-98-37, which will eventually come
before the Redevelopment Agency for final approval. Briefly, the Design Review is for
a 74,000 square foot, two story, 45 foot high office building that will house the Family
Resources Center. In the mean time, certain land use decisions must be made in order to
allow further contractual negotiations to move forward between the Applicant and the
County of San Diego.
The Applicant wishes to lease his property to the County of San Diego who proposes to
operate the Family Resources Center at this location. Typical daily activity will involve
members of the public visiting the premises to meet with County of San Diego employees
representing various County departments such as Health Services, IHSS (In Home
Supportive Services), GAIN (Greater Avenues for Independence) and Income
Maintenance. The approximate number of County employees is 400.
4. Public Forum
A public forum on this Project was held on April 16, 1998 at Harborside Elementary
School. Approximately five people from the neighborhood attended. After presentations
on the project and the public hearing processes involved, those in attendance asked
questions related to access, traffic, and security. It was explained that all access would be
from Oxford Street, that no access, either vehicular or pedestrian, would be from Naples
Page No.3, Item:
Meeting Date: 04/13/98
Street. A security fIrm would ensure security through on-site personnel and closed circuit
video. At the end of the forum, it was staff's impression that none of the area residents
were opposed to the Project.
5. Analysis
The primary issues identified by staff are as follows:
a. Public/Quasi-Public Nature of the Land Use - The proposed land use will, as
mentioned, generate approximately 400 jobs at this location. These jobs will, in
some cases, be transfers from existing County facilities in Chula Vista, while
others will come from outside Chula Vista. The intent is to centralize what are
now several different services scattered around the South Bay in one location in
order to better serve the public. By its nature, the facility will provide services to
families who are in need of certain types of assistance from the County. It is
estimated that approximately 1,500 people will visit the facility on a normal day.
However, this number is expected to diminish over time due to changes in welfare
laws.
b. Parking - The site plan indicates a parking capacity of 536 spaces. The Zoning
Ordinance requires one space per 300 square feet of area for office uses. The
proposed 74,000 square foot building would normally need a minimum of about
250 spaces.
c. Access to the Trolley - As part of the development of this Project, the Applicant
is negotiating with MTDB to develop a parcel that extends south from the Oxford
Street cul-de-sac to Palomar Street near the intersection of Palomar Street and
Industrial Boulevard. This parcel is also part of the SDG&E easement that cuts
across portions of Chula Vista. Across from this parcel at the southeast corner of
Palomar and Industrial Boulevard is the Palomar Trolley Station. The intent is to
develop this parcel as a small pedestrian park with direct access from the Family
Resources Center to the Palomar Trolley Station.
d. Vehicular Access - All vehicular access will be from Oxford Street at two points:
one at the easterly property line and the second near the cul-de-sac bulb. No
access is planned nor will be allowed as part of this approval from Naples Street
next to Harborside Elementary School.

Meeting Date: 04/13/98
6. Conclusion
Staff has concluded that the subject site is an appropriate location for the proposed
Public/Quasi-Public land use. The conclusion is based on the facts presented in the
foregoing sections of this staff report.
