Second Addendum.
III. ACTION
The City Council hereby approves the resolution approving the Otay Ranch Village
Seven Tentative Map, Chula Vista Tract 05-09", (PCS-05-09) involving 105 acres ofland known
as Otay Ranch Village Seven Tentative Map in this resolution, finding it is consistent with the
City of Chula Vista General Plan, the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, Village Seven
SPA Plan, and all other applicable Plans, and that the public necessity, convenience, general
welfare and good planning and zoning practice support their approval and implementation.
IV. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP FINDINGS
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66473.5 of the Subdivision Map Act, the City
Council finds that the Otay Ranch Village Seven Tentative Map, Chula Vista Tract 05-09A",
(PCS-05-09A) as conditioned, attached as Exhibit "B" to this resolution, herein for Applicant, is
in conformance with all the various elements of the City's General Plan, the Otay Ranch General
Development Plan and Village Seven Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, based on the
following:
1. Land Use
The Project is in a planned area that provides urban village uses authorized by the
Village Seven Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan. The Revised Tentative Map
proposes a total of 360 residential dwelling units. A total of three single-family
residential neighborhoods are proposed ranging from 7.2 to 17.9 dwelling unit per acre.
Lot sizes average from 2720 square feet to 5841 square feet.
2. Circulation
All of the on-site and off-site public and private improvements required to serve
the subdivision are part of the project description or are conditioned consistent with the
Otay Ranch General Development Plan, and the Village Seven SPA Plan. The Applicant
Resolution 2005-115
Page 3
shall construct those facilities in accordance with the City and the Village Seven SPA
Plan standards.
The Village Seven Circulation Plan details the hierarchy of vehicular circulation
for internal neighborhood residential streets, collector streets, village entries and prime
arterials serving the Project.
The Tentative Map provides multiple points of access to Magdalena. The
Tentative Map boundaries are bounded by Magdalena on the east, Birch Road on the
north and future extension of La Media Road on the west. Access to these arterials wiIl
be via Magdalena. 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.
Magdalena will serve as the primary backbone, bisecting Village Seven from
north to south and crossing the greenbelt.
3. Housing
The Project provides a mix of lot sizes for single family for persons of various
income levels.
Prior to recordation of any final subdivision map for the Project, the Developer
will enter into an Affordable Housing Regulatory Agreement. The agreement will set
forth the method of determination of the in-lieu contribution, schedule for payment, and
the value of the total in-lieu contribution.
4. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
In fulfillment of its obligation to provide 3.96 acres of parkland, the developer
will provide land via an irrevocable offer of dedication, payment of in-lieu fees, or a
combination thereof towards a Community Park within the service area of Village Seven.
The developer will also provide development fees in accordance with CVMC 17.10.
The Village Greenway, part of the Citywide greenbelt trail that is to provide for a
connection from Otay Valley Regional Park through Otay Ranch and to Salt Creek, as
described in the City's Greenbelt Master Plan, will be incorporated within the Wolf
Canyon corridor between La Media Road and Magdalena Avenue.
5. Conservation
The Program EIR and FEIR addressed the goals and policies of the Conservation
Element of the General Plan and found development of this site to be consistent with
these goals and policies. The Otay Ranch Phase Two Resource Management Plan
requires conveyance of 1.18 acres of land to the Otay Ranch Preserve for every one-acre
of developed land prior to approval of any fmal map.
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. No seismic faults have been identified
in the vicinity of the Project according to the Village Seven SPA Geotechnical
Reconnaissance Report.
Resolution 2005-115
Page 4
7. Public Safety
All public and private facilities are expected to be reachable within the threshold
response times for fire and police services.
8. Public Facilities
The Applicant will provide all on-site and off-site streets, sewers and water
facilities necessary to serve this Project. The developer will also contribute to the Otay
Water District's improvement requirements to provide terminal water storage for this
Project as well as other major projects in the eastern territorics.
9. Noise
The Project wiIl include noise attenuation walls. In addition, all buildings are
required to meet the standards of the Uniform Building Code with regard to acceptable
interior noise levels.
10. Scenic Highway
The roadway design provides wide landscaped buffers along Magdalena, Birch
Road, and Rock Mountain Road. There is no scenic highway adjacent to the Project.
11. Bicycle Routes
Bicyclists will share internal streets with motor vehicles due to the anticipated low
traffic volumes and limited speeds allowed on residential streets. Birch Road includes a
bike lane (Class II) adjacent to the curb. La Media Road includes a bike lane (Class I)
within the right-of-way on the road westerly side.
12. Public Buildings
Public buildings are not proposed on the Project site as part of the community
purpose facility locations.
The conditions herein imposed on the grant of permit or other entitlement herein
contained is approximately proportional both in nature and extent to the impact created
by the proposed development.
V. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
The City Council hereby approves the Project subject to the conditions set forth m
Exhibit "B", attached hereto.
V1. CONSEQUENCE OF FAILURE OF CONDITIONS
If any of the foregoing conditions fail to occur, or if they are, by their terms, to be
implemented and maintained over time, if any of such conditions fail to be so implemented and
maintained according to their terms, the City shall have the right to revoke or modify all
approvals herein granted, deny, revoke or further condition issuance of all future building
