II. PLANNING COMMISSION RECORD
The proceedings and all evidence introduced before the Planning Commission at its
public hearing on the project application held on August 13, 2003, and the minutes and
resolutions resulting therefrom, are hereby incorporated into the record of this proceeding.
III. PREVIOUS FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR) 89-03 AND
FINAL SUBSEQUENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FSEIR) 91-03 REVIEWED
AND CONSIDERED; FINDINGS; APPROVALS
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista has previously reviewed, analyzed,
considered, and certified FEIR-89-03 and FSEIR 91-03, Salt Creek Ranch.
IV. COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that any impacts associated with
the proposed tentative subdivision map have been previously addressed by FEIR 89-03 and
FSEIR 91-03, Salt Creek Ranch and has, therefore, prepared an addendum to said FEIR and
FSEIR. The Tentative Map is in substantial conformance with the adopted Salt Creek Ranch
GDP and SPA on which the FEIR and FSEIR analysis was based and, therefore, approval and
implementation of the Tentative Map does not change the basic conclusions of the FEIR and
FSEIR. The addendum has been prepared in accordance with requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act, State Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Guidelines and the
Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista.
V. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT OF CITY COUNCIL

Page 3
The City Cotmcil finds that the addendum to FEIR 89-03 and FSEIR 91-03, reflects the
independem judgment of the City Council of the City of Chula Vista and hereby considers the
addendum to FEIR 89-03 and FSEIR 91-03, Salt Creek Ranch.
VI. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
A. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the
City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map, as conditioned herein for Rolling Hills
Ranch 7C, Chula Vista Tract No. 03-13, is in conformance with the elements of the City's
General Plan, based on the following:
1. Land Use
The Rolling Hills Ranch Neighborhood 7C parcel, as amended, provides
for Low Medium Density Residential (3-6 du/ac). The proposed subdivision
provides for forty three residential single family lots to be developed on the 10
acre site. Thus, the project, as conditioned, is in substantial compliance with the
Salt Creek Ranch GDP and SPA, and since the GDP and SPA are in substantial
conformance with the General Plan, the Tentative Map is also in substantial
conformance with the General Plan.
2. Circulation
All on-site and off-site public streets required to serve the subdivision will
be constructed or DIF fees paid by the developer in aceO~ce with the Salt
Creek Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan.
The public streets within the project will be sized as prescribed in the
circulation element of the General Plan and designed per City design standards
and/or requirements, or modifications accepted by the Director of Engineering.
The required and anticipated off-site improvements would be designed to handle
this project and future projects in the area.
3. Housing
The project has been conditioned to require the Developer to either enter
into a Third Affordable Housing Agreement or amend an existing affordable
housing agreement to provide affordable housing units as specified in the adopted
Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan and as modified, or otherwise approved by Director
of Community Development to include an additional requirement for two housing
units for low income households or the equivalent thereof based upon five percent
of the 43 residential lots created in Neighborhood 7C.
4. Conservation
FEIR 89-03 and FSEIR 91-03 address the goals and policies of the
Conservation Element of the General Plan and found the development of this site
to be consistent with these goals and policies.
5. Parks & Building Construction, Open Space
Resolution 2003-387
Page 4
The project's parkland development obligation has been satisfied by the
improvement of an existing 7-acre neighborhood park located on Mackenzie
Creek Road and the dedication of land and the payment of development fees for a
future 22+- acre community park located south of Proctor Valley Road between
Duncan Ranch Road and Hunte Parkway.
6. Seismic Safety
The proposed subdivision is in conformance with the goals and policies of
the Seismic Element of the General Plan for this site.
7. Safety
The Fire Department and other emergency service agencies have reviewed
the proposed subdivision for conformance with City safety policies and have
determined that the proposal meets the City Threshold Standards for emergency
services.
8. Noise
Noise mitigation measures included in the FEIR 89-03 and FSEIR 91-03
adequately address the noise policy of the General Plan. The project has been
conditioned to require that all dwelling units be designed to preclude interior
noise levels in excess of 45 dBA and exterior noise exposure over 60 dBA for all
outside habitable areas.
9. Scenic Highway
The Neighborhood 7C and affected Neighborhood 8 portion of the Rolling
Hills Ranch project is located east of the intersection of Hunte Parkway and East
H Street. The portion of Proctor Valley Road which provides vehicular access to
Neighborhood 7C and the community park in Neighborhood 8 via Duncan Ranch
Road, and which serves the eastward extension of East H Street is not delineated
as a scenic highway within the Land Use Element of the General Plan.
10. Bicycle Routes
Although no designated regional off-street bicycle routes are included as
components of the internal circulation network, bicyclists will be readily able to
sham the internal streets with motor vehicles due to low traffic volume and
limited speeds allowed. Bicycle route segments to connect to regional systems
have been incorporated as proscribed by the Circulation Element of the General
Plan. On-street bike lanes are included on the adjacent arterial highways. The
bike lanes will be paved components of the street systems indicated.
11. Public Buildings
No public buildings am proposed on the project site. The project is
subject to RCT fees prior to issuance of building permits.
B. Pursuant to Section 66412.3 of the Subdivision Map Act, the Council certifies that
it has considered the effect of this proposal on the housing needs of the region and has balanced
Resolution 2003-387
Page 5
those needs against the public service needs of the residents of the City and the available fiscal
and environmental resources.
C. The configuration, oriemation and topography of the site partially allows for the
optimum setting of lots for passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities as required by
Government Code Section 66473.1.
D. The site is physically suited for msidentiai development and the proposal
conforms to all standards established by the City for such project.
E. The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein
contained is approximately proportional both in nature and extend to the impact created by the
proposed development.
