The Plan, called the El Rancho del Rey,Specific Plan/General Devel- opment Plan, is designed'to function as an intermediat,e plan or policy bridge betweén the Chula Vista General Plan and the City's zoningregulàtions. On June 21, 1978 the Planning Commission ~ecommended that the, Council rescind the, actions o.f 1970 and 1971 under which the El Rancho del Rey General Development Plan and Schedule were approved, but failed by a vote of 3-3 to approve the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan/General Development Plan, or modifications thereto. Detailed 'report In a comprehensive and detailed written report, Director, submi tted of Planning Peterson presented the background of tne area, histOrical notes and analysis, comments 01) the Rice Canyon area, the Sedway/Cooke recommendation, ilensityissue, the Goodkin Study,; actions of the ACCORD committee, and the "Requested Changes Map" presented by the Otay Land Company. (Copy of the complete report is on file in the City Clerk's office. ) Differences in Mr. Peterson elaborated on his report by describing and plans outlined outlining vari-colored areas on four maps displayed on the wall - a map of the original plan, the proposed staff plan, the "Requested Changes Map", and a composite of the changes and proposedstaff"plan as a fourth map. The maps indicated open space areas, low, medium and high density areas, and street patterns. He explained the differences in the density areas of the staff plan and the Otay Land Company plan - the staff plan allows 5817 dwelling units on 2350 acres of undeveloped land with 1/3 of the area open space and the Otay Land Company plan had 8300 dwelling units with the same open space. Amendments proposed Mr. Peterson said that when the Council is in a position to zoning ordinance and to adopt a plan for this area, staff will bring forward P-C District regulations amendments to the specific plan regulations of the zoning ordinance and to the P-C District regulations that will make this Specific Plan the Plan of Record in a P-C zone. Staff recommendation Mr. Peterson concluded with his recommendation that at the appropriate time that the Council certify the EIR forwarded previously, rescind the actions of 1970 and 1971 approving the General Development Plan for El Rancho del Reyarea and adopt the staff recommended plan as the official plan for the El Rancho del Rey P-C Zone. City Attorney comments City Attorney Lindberg commented on the procedures for on procedures adopting a Specific Plan and said it is his opinion that the proced!lres will, allow for the adoption of a Specific Plan regardless of which plan is selecterlby the Council and will not subject the City to any potential liability in inverse condemnation. ' Sam Blick, Attorney Mr. Blick said he represented the Otay Land Company, a Higgs, Fletch,er & Mack major land owner in the El Rancho del Rey area. He stated San Diego that this is an unusual situation where the City has pre- pared a development plan, rather than the developer, and noted that it may take considerable time for presentations by their economist, planner, and his legal arguments. He suggested that other developers may wish to proceed first. --'-- City Council Me~ting -8- July 11, 1978 Ray Watt Mr. Watt, representing the major landowner of t~e westerly 2160 Fletcher Parkway 450 acres of E1 Rancho d~l Rey, stated they have ~orked El Caj on closely with the staff, ACCORD Committee and Sedwày/Cooke consultants and at this time they support the staff plan for that portion of the,p.operty. H~ said they are prepared to present tentative maps for approval and are prepared to participate in the development of "H" Street and off-site improvements. Gilbert Dreyfuss Mr. Dreyfuss said he was a partner of the Telegraph Canyon 333 South Hope Street Group, and they have a 16 acre parcel - the last of 180 Los Angeles 90071 ac,es that they have developed. He said they have been excluded from the study and want to be assured that nothing in the proposed plan will preclude them from tYing into "H" Street as they are prepared to pay their costs, if their plan is accepted by the City. Mr. Peterson said the 16 acres are zoned R-l-H at, this time and if the Group can negotiate access to a public street, they can develop in accordance with approved plans. Sam Blick Mr. Blick stated that there is a very little difference Representing Otay between what the staff is recommending and what his client Land, Company recommends, being subtle differences in density; however,. the problem is cost. He noted that,the estimated Cost is approximately $258,000,000 which must be paid for in density. He commented on the open space required, rela- tiönship between cost and density to provide medium priced, homes, and disagreement with staff that the housing element dOes not apply in this area. Elliot L. Lewis Mr. Lewis said his firm was hired to do a marketing analysis Executive Vice President for the Gersten Companies "which led to the development of Sanford R. Goodkin a plan in terms of the kind of product and pricing of the Research Corporation product and the number that would be in keeping with market 1125 Camino del Mar demands." Del Mar CA 92014 He said the analysis primarily deals" with the costs- for infra-structures, open space, oy~rhead, marketing, sales, coSt of money, ,and a fair profit. His comments, included relationship of risk to profit, the right òf free enterprise, lengthy payback period, and that the reward objective for the El Rancho del Rey area is computed for 10% before taxes and must be covered by density determined at 3.8 dwelling units per acre. Mr. Lewis quot'ed figures of $105,000,000 for "front ,end" cost for development of land and $153,000,000 for financing, marketing, overhead and 10% profit, oratot'àl of$2S8,000,OOO not including financing of, actual unit ~construction cost. He said this has been considered on the need to meet the market demand. Hestat~il that after their analysis of population &røwth, it was determined that multi-family units will be the only way to provide needed housing at a price that can be afforded, and that the cost of housing under the staff plan would not be feasible. James ,Fairl\lán Mr. Fairman r,eferred to a,summary sybmi tted to the Council Project Design 'Consultant with comments, criticisms ,and proposals regarding the s,taff Otay Land Company General Development/Specific Plan for El Rancho del Rey. (A copy is on file in the City Clerk's office.) He, com- mented on the projected density and open space; failure to meet objective of mixed housing types; maximum area for low density and only 2% for apartment units which precludes low income housing; and lack of economic and engineering studies in the staff plan. ..,-._---,. .- City Council Meeting -9- July 11, 1978 Mr. Fairman said that the E1 Rancho del Rey proposed plan would have approximately 8270 units with an overall density of 3.5 units per acre vs 2.5 units on the staff plan, or a difference of only 1 unit per acre, with the same open space. He described the plan to cluster higher density along "H" Street and other streets, and noted that the development plans are nearly identica1. He concluded that their al- ternative plan is a superior plan to the staff plan. Hearing hot closed Mayor Hyde indicated that the hearing will not be closed and when the hearing is reconvened, additional summary remarks will be permitted as appropriate.
