CEQA Transportation Analysis and Local Mobility Analysis
In 2004, the City of Chula Vista approved the Village 7 Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and
Tentative Map, along with the Environmental Impact Report (2004 EIR) and associated Traffic Impact
Study (2004 TIS). The project Applicant subsequently filed an application for amendments to the Chula
Vista General Plan, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, and the Village 7 SPA, and a rezone.
The Village Seven FEIR (FEIR) analyzed potential traffic impacts utilizing Level of Service (LOS)
methodology at various intersections, roadway segments, and freeways under several future year
study scenarios. The FEIR, SPA Plan Overall Conceptual Village Plan, and the EIR Traffic Impact
Analysis 1 (TIA) were all based on the assumption that the SPA would encompass up to 1,053 single-
family dwelling units, 448 multi-family dwelling units, 3.7 acres dedicated to commercial space, 7.6
acres for a public park, 4.1 acres allocated for a Community Purpose Facility, 11.1 acres for an
elementary school, and a high school designed to accommodate 2,950 students. At the time of the
approval, the SPA Site Utilization Plan and EIR Project Description assumed a development of up to
1,204 residential dwelling units instead of the 1,501 residential dwelling units studied in the FEIR and
TIA.
The Village Seven FEIR, determined that the project would generate 25,079 average daily trips and
result in direct impacts to the intersection of Rock Mountain Road/La Media Road, and to the street
segment of Rock Mountain Road from La Media Road to SR-125. It was also determined that the
project would contribute to cumulative traffic impacts at the intersections of Telegraph Canyon
Road/I805 southbound ramps, and at Rock Mountain Road/La Media. Additionally, the project would
contribute incrementally to cumulative roadway segment impacts along Telegraph Canyon Road from
I-805 to Oleander Avenue, and along Rock Mountain Road from Main Street to SR-125 and from SR-
125 to Eastlake Parkway. The project plans to address its cumulative effects on these facilities, which
are part of the City of Chula Vista Eastern Transportation Development Impact Fees (TDIF) program,
through the payment of the relevant TDIF fees.
The purpose of this comprehensive PIF is to track the intensity transfer proposed by the Project
Applicant and provide a tracking mechanism for the City to ensure that future projects remain
consistent with the 2004 EIR. Since the approval of the 2004 EIR, the property that was originally
intended for a Middle School site (neighborhood S-2) was sold and incorporated into the boundary of
Village 8 West and the associated Village 8 West EIR in 2013, as well as the Village 8 West SPA,
rezone, and new Tentative Map in 2020. The Chula Vista City Council approved these amendments
and entitlement for Village 8 West on February 18, 2020. Thus, the Middle School site is shown in
Table 1 for documentation only as it was originally studied as part of Village 7.
Table 1 displays a trip generation studied in the 2004 EIR. Excerpt of the 2004 TIS is provided later
as Attachment B.

As shown in Table 1, the total trips analyzed in the 2004 EIR are 25,079 Average Daily Trips (ADT) with
3,133 trips (1,629-in/1,504-out) during the AM peak hour and 2,482 trips (1,442-in/1,039-out)
during the PM peak hour. The total trips without the Middle School Site is 23,764 ADT with 2,738
(1,395-in/1,346-out) during the AM peak hour and 2,364 (1,395-in/968-out) during the PM peak
hour.
Table 2 displays the trip generation for the proposed Village 7 site utilization. This table reflects the
following changes:
Split Neighborhood R-3 into two neighborhoods, R-3 and R-8 (new).
Convert the Single Family Residential in Neighborhoods R-3, R-4, and R-8 to Multi-Family
Residential
Reassign 287 dwellng units (out of the total 1,456 dwelling units currently entitled) to the
neighborhoods as follows:
o R-3: 43 units
o R-4: 121 units
o R-8: 123 units
As shown in Table 2, the land use associated with the proposed Village 7 site utilization is anticipated
to generate 22,211 ADT, with 2,619 (1,340-in/1,279-out) trips during the AM peak hour, and 2,208
(1,291-in/917-out) trips during the PM peak hour. Which is 1,553 less ADT, 119 less (52-in/67-out)
AM trips, and 156 less (104-in/51-out) PM trips, when compared to the 2004 EIR without the Middle
School. Therefore, the therefore the proposed project is consistent with the EIR in terms of traffic
generation and impacts.
Because the proposed project would generate fewer trips (both daily and during the peak hours) than
the approved project and the trip distribution patterns would remain the same as those studied in the
Village Seven FEIR, it can be concluded that the proposed project would add fewer trips to the
surrounding transportation network, including all study area roadways, intersections, freeways, and
Village 7 SPA

ramp meters. As a result, the approved project represents a worst-case scenario. In addition, identified
mitigation measures (4.3-1 through 4.3-7 in the Village Seven FEIR) remain applicable. Therefore, no
additional traffic analysis would be required. Table 3 compares the proposed and FEIR land uses.
Table 4 provides a comparison between the proposed land uses and the currently approved land uses,
which are less than those specified in the FEIR.
