5/14/2024 17:00 SPA Plan Amendment: Approve Amendments to the Otay
Ranch Village Eight East Sectional Planning Area Plan,
Including Associated Regulatory Documents and Tentative
Map
Chris Le I urge the council to vote no on this item as wriƩen.
The changes eliminate more than 8 acres of community park
space. While the applicant proposes adding manufactured
open space, this does not compensate for park space that
families are more likely to use. The open space is located in a
place that is convenient for the applicant and not in the best
interest of future residents.
This amendment reduces the number of detached homes,
which are already difficult to find in this part of Chula Vista.
Applicant proposes an elementary school site that would be
utilized as a "high" residential land use if Chula Vista
Elementary School District declines the space. CVESD has been
delaying the addition of new schools citing a decreasing school-
age population. This increases the likelihood that this site will
be used for homes. The City should not allow more "high"
residential land use and instead, designate it as a less dense
residenƟal area.
While a traffic study was conducted for this project, it is my
opinion that it did not give proper consideration to the
additional density that is now being proposed. The study
claims that impacts on Olympic Parkway, particularly during
peak times near I-805, are unavoidable. However, some
mitigation can be provided by requiring the applicant to
expedite the extension of E. Main St from Village 8 West to
Village 4, which would give residents in Village 8 East an
alternaƟve to Olympic Pkwy.
Finally, the noise mitigation proposals are insufficient.
