Eastlake III Planned Community Land Use District
Regulations and Map to change 19.48 acres from
RS2 to RS1·A within a portion of the VR6
Neighborhood. Applicant: Cornerstone GDCI Chula
Vista, LP.
Background: Stan Donn reported that Cornerstone Communities is proposing to
amend the Eastlake III Planned Community District Regulations and Land Use Districts
map within the Vistas' VR6 planning area.
The original Eastlake III Vistas subdivision, which approved 130 single-family created a
variety of lot sizes ranging in size from 5,000 sf to 10,000 sf. Approximately 35% of the
lots are 5,000 to 6,000 sf, and approximately 65% are 6,000 to 10,000 sf.
In order to provide a product not available in the Vistas neighborhood, the applicant is
proposing to create a new land use designation that is between the existing RS1 and
RS2, in terms of property development regulations.
Changing the land use designation to a larger lot configuration could allow the
opportunity to introduce a higher quality design and offer a wide range of residential
products in the Vistas neighborhood. The proposal does not change the number of
units permitted within the Vistas or the overall permitted density of the SPA and
remains low-medium density.
Staff Recommendation: That the Planning Commission adopt resolution PCM 04-12
recommending that the City Council approve the proposed amendments to the
Eastlake III Planned Community District Regulations based on the findings contained in
the draft City Council Ordinance.
