COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS TO STAFF
• The footprint of the building looks rectangular; the lot looks L-shaped
• What material is the dark siding made of?
• What kind of fencing is proposed as a separation on the north side?
• What is happening to the rest of the property facing E Street?
• Is there any requirement for walls or separation between multi-family units and another
multi-family unit or senior housing?
OPENED PUBLIC HEARING
Chip Crandall of Front Runner Investments 1, LLC spoke about what a good experience he had in
working with staff, especially Sr. P1amler Donn. Everyone from front counter staff to
Councilperson Aguilar was helpful and kind.
CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING
COMMISSIONER DELIBERATIONS
Milburn: Has there been any accommodations made for bicycle storage?
Crandall: Has another senior building and no one has a bike or asked for bike storage
Anaya: Is pleased that we are providing housing for the age population. For the record, there
were several residents voicing concerns regarding parking. He is confident that staff is
working on a larger project that will address parking within this corridor. Looking at the
population and the fact that cars will or will not be used in the future, he is ok with the parking.
Supports the project.
Gutierrez: We have a population in San Diego that is aging and we have to address the
accommodation of all populations. Appreciates that the developer is thinking of a
cohesive design of the surrounding project. Noticed that staff and developer has had workshops
with the public and, because there are no residents in attendance, believes that the outreach has
addressed the concerns.
Zaker: The Commission is here to provide a platform for the public to voice their concerns. Is
surprised that with the number of e-mails received, there is no one from the public in attendance.
He lives close and there is always a little inconvenience and trade-off with density and likes to
see this type of project moving forward. He asked the attorney about the deed restriction on the
62+ age limit and wanted to know if the deed restriction would continue if the property was sold.
Shirey: His office is working on that and it will be recorded and will run with the property so
that if it is sold, it will still be a restricted to senior complex.

August 22,2018
Page 4
Zaker: Is this a market-rate property or subsidized?
Crandall: It is a market-rate property—mostly due to the fact of the amount of time and
effort to become a subsidized property. The vision is simple the way it's formed.
Seniors (age restricted) can only afford a certain amount. He expounded on the benefits of
having seniors and not having to raise the rents out of sight for them.
Milburn: Addressed the parking situation and is aware of the problems because he lives in
the area. However, he doesn't think the issue is with this particular issue or
developer. Feels it is more with the state requirements which the city has met. Spoke about the
entrances on Third and also Landis Streets and the parking on Landis. Noted that the lack of
attendance from the public speaks to the good job that staff has done in addressing the situations.
Anaya: Drives by this site often and noticed when the building was torn down that the
graffiti started immediately and was taken care of immediately. He thanked the
developer and/or property owner for being and staying on top of that.
ACTION: Motion to approve by Anaya; Second by Milburn

5. COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Gutierrez: Saw the number of e-mails and responses and expected a large, heated
crowd. Thanked staff for the amount of work they put in to avoid that
situation. There was some conversation about the aversion of the
problem.
Zaker: Wanted to know time-line of parking study.
Power: It's going to take a year with all the studies, etc.
Zaker: Asked about the Third & K project and an update.
Attorney: There has been litigation for well over a year and there has been an
appeal to the decision—which should be heard soon.

Zaker: Is there something that can be done with the corner until things are
settled? Perhaps a Community Garden,
Power: We could look into the rules and the owner would have to be amenable.
If there's trash, could see that Code Enforcement looks in to it.
There was some Commission discussion about this and other areas that are unsightly.
They would like to see something done to improve the looks of the areas.

ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Otay Ranch Village 2 Design Guidelines
Architectural Theme
The Village Two SPA Design Plan identifies Santa Barbara, California as the design inspiration
for the Village of Montecito (Village Two). As a fitndamental component of the village, the
architecture of the proposed multi-family development is focused primarily on the Santa
Barbara/Montecito design theme. Although not mandated, preferred architectural styles for
multi-family development include Spanish Eclectic and Spanish Mission to complement the
design theme of the remainder of the village.
Neighborhood R-12 is within the Village of Montecito and its architecture is consistent with the
policies of the Village Design Plan. The proposed `Montecito Style' architecture includes light
colored smooth finish stucco with dark colored decorative shutters and awnings, tiled roofs,
decorative metal grill over stucco recess, decorative metal railing, tile insets, decorative shutters,
covered patios, and arched openings.
Planning Commission
September 12,2018
DR 17-0025
Page No. 4
Throughout Otay Ranch, enhanced elevations are required where developments are visible from
public rights-of-way as well as pedestrian areas. This regulation is stipulated in the Village Two
Planned Community (PC) District regulations. Typically, shutters, pop-outs, covered decks, and
window surrounds were used to meet these standards in previous villages, but these features have
become standard in Village Two.
Enhanced elevations should include varying building elements, roof pitches, and setbacks to
avoid monotony. In addition, distinctive building elements shall be oriented toward the comers
of prominent village core and entry street intersections. Street facing facades shall incorporate a
range of scale-defining elements that relate larger building masses to the scale of the pedestrian.
Elements may include trellises, columns, archways, doorways, porches or patios and upper floor
balconies and windows.
Site Planning and Building Placement/Orientation
The Village Design Plan includes guidelines and policies that ensure that multi-family residential
buildings will contribute to the pedestrian-oriented "Village Concept" established in the General
Development Plan (GDP). Policies relating to pedestrian connections, building orientation,
landscaping buffers, enhanced elevations and vehicular access are listed in each document to
implement the visions of these documents. Specific design guidelines for multifamily homes
include:
• Site planning which focuses on the pedestrian and orients entries towards Village streets
and minimizes views to garages and parking areas.
• Architecture focused primarily on the Santa Barbara design theme.
• Optimize architecture on the street frontage.
• Building elevations that are visible from public view areas (all Village streets,
surrounding arterial streets and public open spaces) shall be articulated with elements
such as wall offsets, balconies, and windows, appropriate to the architectural style.
• Street facing facades shall incorporate a range of scale-defining elements that relate
larger building masses to the scale of the pedestrian. Elements may include trellises,
columns, archways, doorways,porches or patios and upper floor balconies and windows.
• The interiors of multi family residential projects shall provide for common and private
outdoor spaces that are,functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The pedestrian features throughout the site meet the intent of the Village Design Plan. The
proposal includes pedestrian walkways throughout and connection to surrounding streets. The
plan also includes pedestrian linkage from the enhanced courtyard areas to the central pool area.
Within the active open space area, several pedestrian features are provided such as a tot lot, dog

Page No. 5
park, and internal courtyard areas with a seat wall, BBQ and a fire table for pedestrians to enjoy.
The project also uses extensive landscape and landscape buffering to create a more enjoyable
pedestrian environment.
In order to comply with the building siting polices and guidelines included in the Village Two
Design Plan, buildings have been oriented to address public streets. Buildings at high profile
intersections — such as La Media Road and Santa Venetia Road are designed to include special,
landmark features such as tower elements and other attractive architectural detailing, consistent
with the Montecito palette.
While pedestrian access is the most significant feature in the villages of Otay Ranch, vehicular
access is also important in order to offer a variety of ways to access different areas of Village 2.
Dispersion of automobile traffic also has the effect of making areas more pedestrian friendly as
cars and pedestrians have less direct interaction. The proposed project is an extension of the
existing R12B development to the west and an internal driveway is already provided in between
the two sites as well as a separate driveway off of Santa Venetia Street.
Landscape
All new landscaping will be in accordance with City of Chula Vista guidelines including the
Otay Ranch Village 2 Landscape Master Plan, City of Chula Vista Landscape Water
Conservation Ordinance and City of Chula Vista Grading Ordinance. The design theme of
`Santa Barbara' or `Montecito' is enhanced with landscaping through 1) selection of trees that
are appropriate to the climate; 2) providing filtered shade for pedestrians; 3) creation of
horizontal planes from canopy trees and shrub forms; and 4) use of vertical elements such as
narrow trees, decorative fencing, and light features which provide contrast to long architectural
planes. Attractive, appropriate landscape will be provided in a series of pedestrian-oriented
features such as courtyards, seating areas, barbeque areas, a toddler tot-lot, a pool and recreation
area, and an enhanced entry. Additionally, landscaping will be used to provide a buffer from
surrounding roadways.
Parking
Village 2 SPA regulations require 1.5 spaces for one-bedroom units, 2.0 spaces for two bedroom
units and 2.25 for three bedroom units. Therefore, the required parking is 550 spaces. A variety
of parking is provided, such as a total of 85 one-car garages, 196 carports, 189 standard parking
spaces, 70 compact parking spaces, and 10 parking spaces for the disabled. The project meets the
required parking requirement and provides all of the parking spaces on-site.
CONCLUSION
The proposed 297-unit multi-family attached apartment complex project is a permitted land use
in the Otay Ranch GDP and is permitted in the Residential Multi-Family Two (RM2) district of
the Village Two SPA Plan. The proposal complies with the policies, guidelines and design
standards for the Village Two Design Plan. Therefore, staff recommends the Planning
Commission approve Design Review Permit, DR17-0025.

conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18705.2(a)(11), for
purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code §87100, et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any PlaJming Commission
member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in
this matter.
FISCAL IMPACT
All processing costs are borne by the Applicant, resulting in no net fiscal impact to the General
Fund or Development Services Fund.
