Resolution 2004-330
Page 3
VI. SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN FINDINGS
The proposed project is consistent with the Otay Ranch Village Seven Sectional Planning
Area Plan for the following reasons:
A. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE OTAY RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Village Seven SPA Plan area of Otay Ranch that creates an urban village
reflects the land uses, circulation system, open space and recreational uses, and public
facility uses consistent with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and Chula Vista
General Plan. The land use, dwelling unit counts, road alignments and public facilities
proposed by this application conform with the Otay Ranch General Development Plan as
presently adopted. In addition, the areas contained within the proposed SPA approval are
not among the 'areas of change' that have been studied as part of the City's present
General Plan update. Thus, the SPA would also be compliant with the future General
Plan, based on land uses being studied within the update.
B. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD
PROMOTE THE ORDERLY, SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE
INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA.
The Village Seven SPA Plan and Public Facilities Finance Plan contain
provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project.
The Public Facilities Finance Plan specifies the public facilities required by the project in
order for it to function properly and not become a public burden, and also the regional
facilities needed to serve it. The land use plan for Village 7 is consistent with the GDP
goals and objectives for the Village Concept. The open space greenbelt exceeds the
standards and criteria set forth in the GDP. Highest densities extend the village core to
an appropriate transition with the Eastern Urban Center, and all of the community
services are centrally located. Schools are appropriately situated and accommodated. At
total of 1,204 dwelling units of the 1,501 authorized in the Otay Ranch GDP are utilized
under the Village 7 SPA Plan, maintaining a reserve allocation for lands not contained
within the SPA proposal. The Village 7 Planned Community (PC) District Regulations
function as zoning regulations for the village. The PC District Regulations provide
standards and regulations to guide the development of the project. These regulations are
applied in conjunction with the Village 7 Design Plan.
C. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT,
CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within the Village Seven (SPA) Plan are designed with a 75-foot
landscaped enhancement buffer along adjacent arterials. The project will provide a
variety of housing opportunities. A total of four single-family residential neighborhoods
are proposed, in whole or part, to contain 756 single-family residences ranging from 4.2
to 7.4 units per acre. In addition, three multi-family developments provide an additional
448 dwelling units, which range from 7.6 to 15.4 units per acre. These multi-family
developments will incorporate a variety of housing types including alley-product homes,
and site areas for townhouses, condominiums and apartments.
Resolution 2004-330
Page 4
A comprehensive street network serves the project and provides for access to
off-site adjacent properties. The plan details the hierarchy of vehicular circulation for
internal neighborhood residential streets, collector streets, village entries and prime
arterials serving the project. The Village 7 SPA provides three points of entry to the
village, as initially proposed by the GDP for the portion of the village subject to the SPA.
These are at Birch Road on the north and La Media on the west. A third access point, via
an undercrossing at SR-125, does not provide arterial access, but rather provides routing
directly to the Eastern Urban Center. A fourth point of entry will be via Magdalena to the
south, which will provide access to the high school site and will eventually tie to Rock
Mountain Road. The proposed SPA Plan follows all existing environmental protection
guidelines and will avoid unacceptable off-site impacts through the provision of
mitigation measures specified in the Otay Ranch Village Seven SPA Final Second-Tier
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR 04-06).
D. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT
SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND
OVERALL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO
CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED
DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL
MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE.
The project does not involve areas planned for industrial or research uses.
E. IN THE CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL, RECREATIONAL, AND OTHER
SIMILAR NONRESIDENTIAL USES, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION AND OVERALL PLANNING TO THE
PURPOSE PROPOSED, AND THAT SURROUNDING AREAS ARE PROTECTED
FROM ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM SUCH DEVELOPMENT.
The Village Seven SPA Plan includes recreational and similar nonresidential uses,
which are considered appropriate for the area, location, and overall planning for the area
in that such uses are called for in the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. The Wolf
Canyon green belt system is provided, as are three schools and park uses to serve nearby
and regional residents as required by the Otay Ranch General Development Plan. These
uses have also been evaluated for their adverse land use effects on proposed surrounding
development and none have been identified.
F. THE STREET AND THOROUGHFARES PROPOSED ARE SUITABLE AND
ADEQUATE TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON.
The circulation system depicted in the SPA Plan is consistent with the circulation
system identified on the City's General Plan and Otay Ranch General Development Plan
and contains adequate internal circulation consistent with the policies of the Otay Ranch
General Development Plan and the City's General Plan. Road improvements will be
constructed per the timing and threshold requirements outlined in the Village Seven SPA
Plan Public Facilities Finance Plan. Prior to the opening of La Media and Santa Luna,
turning volumes at the intersection of Magdalena at Birch Road will require an internal
limit on residential building permits, pending the student population of High School No.
13, the extension of La Media southward to provide a second entry and the progress
toward completion of the toll highway. La Media Road, Birch Road, and Rock Mountain
Road are all sized to handle the anticipated volumes.
Resolution 2004-330
Page 5
G. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED
ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION (S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH
PROPOSED LOCATION (S).
The project does not involve areas planned for commercial facilities.
H. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED
AND ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH
SAID DEVELOPMENT.
The Village Seven SPA Plan is consistent with the approved plans and regulations
applicable to surrounding areas, and therefore said development can be planned and
zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with said development. The
proposed Village Seven SPA Plan is consistent with the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan and Chula Vista General Plan, as amended. The Village 7 SPA
proposed land uses and development intensities directly implement the provisions of the
Otay Ranch General Development Plan as amended. All designated public facilities are
located within the areas designated by the General Development Plan, and the permitted
density and land use intensities are those prescribed therein.
The Otay Ranch Village 7 SPA Plan, described and evaluated in this report, is
consistent with the policies in the adopted Otay Ranch General Development Plan and
City of Chula Vista General Plan.
VII. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated in the project.
