3. Plan structure and Desiqn
Salt Creek Ranch is planned as a residential community with a
wide range of housing types which will become available to
families and individuals with various income levels and
housing needs.
The project is basically divided into three subareas with each
subarea broken into individual and distinct neighborhoods.
Densities within the Salt Creek Ranch project are highest at
the western edge of the project and decrease as the project
extends easterly. Densities also decrease as the project
progresses north from the EastLake Business Park, located
south of the project.
The focal point of the community is proposed to be the Salt
Creek corridor, which extends from the foothills of San Miguel
Mountain, bisects the project, then extends south through the
EastLake development, and eventually to the otay River Valley.
This corridor is a major link in the "Chula vista Greenbelt"
and will contain trails that provide essential links in the
26-mile greenbelt system.
Subarea #1: The western subarea consists of five distinct
residential neighborhoods, bisected by East "H" Street.
Neighborhoods 1 and 2, located north of East "H" Street and
west of Hunte Parkway, form a typical mid-sized lot (7,560 sq.
ft. ave.) single-family neighborhood (standards comparable to
R-1-7 zoning). These two neighborhoods, totalling 564 lots,
are bisected by an internal open space greenbelt providing a
local trail linkage down to East "H" Street.
Neighborhood 3, located south of East "H" Street and west of
Lane Avenue, is designed as a small-lot (5,230 sq. ft. ave.,
min. 4,500 sq. ft.) single-family neighborhood containing 263
lots and a site for a I-acre (net) recreation facility
designed to provide for this neighborhood's residents.
Maintenance of this facility will be handled by a homeowners
association. Designs for this facility will be submitted for
review and approval prior to approval of the Tentative
Subdivision Map.
Neighborhoods 4a and 4b, located adjacent to the EastLake
Business Park and west of Lane Avenue, consists of 390
multiple family units (at 17.9 dujac) and 134 small-lot (4,750
sq. ft. ave., min. 3,800 sq. ft.) single-family lots,
respectively. The total number of units within Neighborhoods
4a and 4b do not exceed the maximum permissible density for
the medium density residential designation approved in the GDP
City Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
5
(11 du/gross ac).
Neighborhood 5, located south of East "H" street and west of
Hunte Parkway, will contain 111 single-family attached units
(at 9.25 du/ac) and 100 mid-sized (6,400 sq. ft. ave., min.
5,000 sq. ft.) single-family lots (standards comparable to R-
1-5 zoning). The total number of units within Neighborhood 5
do not exceed the maximum permissible density for the low-
medium residential designation approved in the GDP (6 du/ac) .
Neighborhood 6, located south of East "H" street and west of
Hunte Parkway, will contain 222 mid-sized (6,280 sq. ft. ave.,
min. 5,000 sq. ft.) single-family lots (standards comparable
to R-1-5 zoning).
contained within Subarea #l will be a 7-acre (net)
neighborhood park, a 1-acre fire station site and a 10-acre
(net) elementary school site. A grade-separated open space
buffer is proposed between the EastLake Business Park to the
south and residential neighborhoods 4a, 4b and 5. A local
recreational trail will connect the neighborhood
park/elementary school to the Salt Creek corridor and the
community park.
Subarea #2: The core subarea and focus area for this community
is located east of Hunte Parkway, north and south of East H
Street and consists of the Salt Creek drainage basin. This
subarea consists of three neighborhoods.
Neighborhood 7a, located adjacent to the otay Water District
property ownership to the north and east of Salt Creek,
consists of 58 mid-sized (7,360 sq. ft. ave., min. 5,000 sq.
ft.) single-family detached lots (standards comparable to R-1-
5 zoning).
Neighborhood 7b, located north of East "H" Street, east of
Salt Creek, consists of 138 single-family lots (8,140 sq. ft.
ave., min. 7,000 sq. ft. ). This neighborhood consists of
estate-type units on clustered mid-sized single-family lots.
Both neighborhoods 7a and 7b surround a 10-acre (net)
elementary school site, which is located adjacent to the Salt
Creek greenbelt corridor.
Neighborhood 8, located south of East "H" Street and adjacent
to the proposed EastLake Woods development, is proposed as a
clustered neighborhood with 242 gate-guarded single-family
lots (8,320 sq. ft. average, minimum 7,000 sq. ft.) and a
private open space greenbelt, which leads to a 22-acre (net)
community park adjacent to the Salt Creek open space corridor.
A 3-acre Community Purpose Facility is proposed adjacent to
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992

the community park.
Subarea #3: The eastern subarea, located north of East "H"
Street and east of a prominent north/south ridgeline
(neighborhood #13), consists of six physically separated
neighborhoods. Separation of these neighborhoods is dictated
by a series of natural canyons and the prominent ridgeline. A
total of 440 single-family estate lots, averaging in excess of
1/2 acre in size and ranging from 1/3 to 2 acres individually,
are located throughout this subarea.
Neighborhoods 12 and 13 are proposed as a 140-lot gate-guarded
community with 43 of these lots located on the north/south
ridgeline.
Offsite access from this subarea has been provided through
Neighborhood 11 to properties located north of the project.
Staff has been meeting with the applicant regarding concerns
expressed by the Commission at the EIR hearing on rural road
standards (sidewalk vs. no sidewalk, rolled curbs, etc.). The
applicant is preparing an exhibit which will be available at
the SPA hearing showing suggested rural concepts for subarea
3.
4. Parks
A 7-acre net (7.3-acre gross) neighborhood park is proposed
adjacent to a 1-acre fire station site, and a la-acre
elementary school site within Neighborhood 3. A conceptual
design has been prepared by the applicant, and is reflected in
the SPA Plan.

Final designs for each park facility will be required prior to
tentative subdivision map approval.
5. Trails
Bicycle, recreational, equestrian and hiking trails are
proposed throughout the project (Exhibit D, attached). A
buffer area between the EastLake Business Park and
Neighborhoods 4a, 4b, 5 and 6 also serves as a corridor to
connect a la-foot wide recreational trail from the 7-acre
neighborhood park to the Salt Creek corridor (north/south
Chula vista greenbelt) and the community park. This trail will
City Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
7
meander along the buffer and is shown in the SPA as
encroaching within the EastLake property to the south. Staff
is recommending that, since this trail system is intended to
serve the Salt Creek Ranch community that the recreational
trail be located entirely within the Salt Creek Ranch project
boundary. Grading plans will be required to incorporate the
trail, and final alignments and details will be subject to
approval with the tentative subdivision map. Connection of
this trail to the 22-acre community park will involve crossing
the Salt Creek drainage course via some type of bridge
structure. The details of this structure will be required with
final trail plans at the Tentative Map stage.
Bisecting Neighborhoods 1 and 2 is an internal greenbelt trail
system subject to maintenance by an open space maintenance
district. Staff is recommending that the recreational trail
and plant materials be subject to final approval at the
Tentative Map stage.
In an effort to provide continuous trail connections
throughout the community, steps should be taken to connect the
recreation trail from the 7-acre neighborhood park north to
East "H" street (A portion of this trail occurs offsite and
involves coordination with adjacent property). Salt Creek
Ranch is a major link in the Chula vista greenbelt system and
provisions for this system include equestrian and recreational
trails through Salt Creek as well as along East "H" Street
connecting future greenbelt links along the otay Lakes. The
SPA Plan proposes two arched roadway undercrossings at Salt
Creek and at the east end of the project, both providing the
ability for trail systems to cross East "H" Street. The Chula
Vista greenbelt links with off-site areas are and will be
subj ect to further review as part of the city I s Greenbelt
Master Plan. The applicant will be required to participate in
the greenbelt implementation within the boundaries of the Salt
Creek Ranch project.
6. Low Densitv Clusterinq in Subarea #2
Neighborhoods 7b and 8 are proposed as clustered low density
residential (0-3 du/ac) neighborhoods acting as a transition
from higher density areas to the west and estate/rural areas
to the east. The General Development Plan calls for clustering
per criteria of Section 6.3 of the Chula vista General Plan
within Subarea 2. Staff supports the proposed cluster concept
based on the following.
a. Clustering is proposed within Subarea 2 to provide a
logical progression from higher density neighborhoods to
the west, to large-lot low-density estate neighborhoods
city Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
8
to the east. Neighborhoods 7b and 8, designated as low
density in the General Plan, are located on sloping
terrain which fall approximately 100 feet down to the
Salt Creek corridor. The designs for these two
neighborhoods respect this landform and incorporate it
within the neighborhood design.
b. Neighborhood 7b is bounded by natural open space on the
east, the Salt Creek corridor on the west and East "H"
Street open space to the south. Open space abuts 1/3 of
the lots in this neighborhood. The 10-ac. (net)
elementary school site, proposed within this
neighborhood, will be buffered by a 10-foot wide
landscape strip which will add visual open space to the
interior of the project. Providing the appropriate grades
for the elementary school, necessitated the lotting
pattern proposed.
Neighborhood 8 provides an internal greenbelt with access
from a series of cul-de-sacs. Internal open space is also
provided by enhanced landscaping along the loop street
but additional internal open space was limited due to
close proximity to the 22-acre community park.
c. The designs for Neighborhoods 7b and 8 are unique
responses to topographical and open space systems and are
a result of the community form described within the
approved General Development Plan.
7. Circulation
Access to Salt Creek Ranch will be provided by East "H"
Street, Lane Avenue and Hunte Parkway. Existing access to the
project from the east is provided by way of unimproved Proctor
Valley Road.
The General Plan designates East "H" Street as a 6-lane Prime
Arterial into the project from the west, extending to Hunte
Parkway. East "H" Street, from Hunte Parkway east to the
project boundary, is designated as a Class I Residential
Collector. Hunte Parkway is designated as a 4-lane Major
roadway, and Lane Avenue is designated as a Class I
Residential Collector.
The Proposed SPA improvements for these streets are consistent
with the General Plan, except for East "H" Street, east of
Hunte Parkway. Right-of-way (128 ft.) for this segment of East
"H" Street is being reserved by the applicant to accommodate
a potential 6-lane Prime Arterial in anticipation of future
development within the Proctor Valley area, to the west.

The Salt Creek Ranch Traffic Analysis (Willdan, 1991) focused
on external circulation system requirements, the necessary
improvements and their implementation based on project
phasing. The analysis considered existing traffic conditions,
traffic expected to be generated by previously approved
projects and the projection of future traffic.
Through preparation of the traffic analysis, it was found that
to enable existing development and development of all
previously "approved projects" (identified in the Eastern
Chula vista Transportation Phasing Plan and the Growth
Management Program) additional improvements on the circulation
system would be necessary to maintain required threshold
standards. These improvements (1995 Base Condition) are
unrelated to the development of Salt Creek Ranch and will
require incorporation into the city's Public Facilities
Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program, to be implemented.
The Salt Creek Ranch Traffic Analysis determined the available
capaci ty of the City's circulation system, prior to the
necessary construction of an interim SR-125 facility,
determined the impacts of the Base 1995 condition (existing
traffic + "approved projects" + additional improvements
required of previously approved projects and included in a
revised City DIF Program), and found that the remaining
capacity of the circulation system (with additional specific
mitigation improvements contained within EIR-91-03), could
permit a total of 1,137 dwelling units. Although Salt Creek
Ranch SPA, Phase I is proposed to consist of 1,350 dwelling
units, the maximum number of units that Salt Creek Ranch could
construct in Phase I, based on circulation capacity, would be
1,137 units.
The City of Chula vista has contracted independently for a
financing study (being prepared by H.N.T.B., a consulting
firm) for the construction of an interim SR-125 facility.
Since there are competing projects within the city's eastern
territories for the remaining available circulation system
capacity, prior to the needed construction of SR-125, staff is
recommending that no tentative map be approved unless the
tentative map complies with the following; 1) the completion
of the H.N.T.B. SR-125 financing study and determination as to
the consistency of the Salt Creek Ranch development with the
conclusions of the study, and 2) the revision of the Eastern
Chula vista Transportation Phasing Plan (ECVTPP) and Public
Facilities Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program based on those
conclusions. The project will be subject to and comply with
all requirements of the revised ECVTPP.
Development within Salt Creek Ranch will be phased
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992

concurrently with the provision of adequate road capacity and
access improvements. The proposed development phases and
associated circulation system improvements are described in
the Public Facilities Financing Plan.
8. Access to Offsite Areas
Access to offsite properties to the north and east of subarea
#3 of Salt Creek Ranch has been provided in the SPA design
(Exhibit E, attached), consistent with the approved General
Development Plan. The primary north/south Class III roadway,
which provides access from East H Street, through
neighborhoods 9, lOa and 11 to offsite properties will have
capacity to provide for approximately 490 additional single
family homes with this as their sole point of access, in
addition to units within Salt Creek Ranch. If a secondary
point of access is determined from Proctor Valley (located
east) to the northern and eastern properties then additional
unit yield could then be accommodated.
Current land use designations for unincorporated offsite areas
north of Salt Creek Ranch are dictated by the county of San
Diego General Plan. The County General Plan will permit a
maximum of 100 units on the approximately 400 ac. of
topographically and biologically constrained property located
to the north of Salt Creek Ranch (actual permitted density may
be somewhat less due to property constraints).
The sole undeveloped property, currently within the City of
Chula vista's GP (designated Low Density Residential (0-3
du/ac), is the Watson parcel (approximately 160-ac.) which is
located at the northeast corner of the Salt Creek Ranch
project.
9. Gradinq
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA proposed grading is in general
conformance with the General Development Plan. The conceptual
grading presented in the SPA is intended to present a landform
grading technique which will emphasize neighborhoods with
curves and varying slope ratios designed to reflect the
appearance of the surrounding terrain. The grading proposal
will preserve the Salt Creek drainage corridor and the natural
drainage areas within the eastern subarea 3.
The open space adjacent to East H Street will be contour-
graded with variable slope ratios. An effort has been made to
limit slopes between building pads to 25-30 ft. so as not to
be visible above a two story dwelling.
city Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
11
Grading within subarea 3 will consist of the provision of a
minumum of 10,000 sq. ft. pad areas on large (1/2-acre
average) lots. The remaining lot areas will be graded with
gradual slopes to transition into natural canyon areas. A
master homeowners assoction will be set up to control grading
and structure encroachments within non-pad areas. The slope
areas located along the south edge of neighborhood 9 are
highly exposed to East H street and staff has some concern
regarding the visual effects of potential encroachment onto
the slope as well as the maintenance of the slope area. staff
recommends that the lot lines for the lots wi thin neighborhood
9 which face East H street be held to the top of slope and
that the slope area be included in the adjacent open space
maintenance area to provide better maintenance control
adjacent to a designated "scenic" highway. This issue should
resolved prior to approval of the tentative subdivision map.
Neighborhood 13 consists of a ridgeline and proposed grading
guidelines for this area are contained within the SPA and
Design Guidelines. Techniques to be utilized include, contour
grading, daylight grading, rounded slope transitions to
natural areas, tilted rear grading lines to eliminate stepped-
pad edges.
9. Thresholds Analvsis
Standards adopted by City policy require that the Salt Creek
Ranch project be analyzed to determine whether the approval of
this project will have an adverse impact on the threshold
formulated by the city. Review of the project EIR, the PFFP,
and other supporting SPA documents provides evidence that the
project is consistent with the threshold standards of the
city. An analysis of Thresholds is contained in the
environmental document for Salt Creek Ranch, EIR-91-03, and in
the PFFP, by development phase.
10. Low and Moderate Income Housinq
The current Housing Element requires that subdivisions of over
50 dwelling units provide 10% of the total project unit count
as affordable units for low and moderate income families. The
City is currently in the process of revising and updating the
Housing Element, and this update could result in modifications
to the required provision of affordable housing units.
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan proposes to comply with the City
of Chula vista affordable housing policy upon adoption as
required at the time of Tentative Map approval.
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992

11. Communitv Purpose Facilities
The proposed project identifies a total of 7-acres to be
reserved for Community Purpose Facilities (CPF), a 3-acre site
south of the community park a 4 acre site north of East H
street within Subarea #3. The Municipal Code requires that
1.39-acres of land per 1,000 population within the project be
designated for CPF uses. The project proposes a total of 2,662
dwelling units which would result in an estimated project
population of 8,240. This would require a total required
acreage of 11.45-acres of CPF land, or an additional project
requirement of 4.45-acres.
The developer is proposing that a reciprocal agreement be
negotiated with the city for use of parking within the
community park for the adjacent 3 acre CPF site, thereby
receiving credit for a portion of the required additional
acreage requirement. In addition, should a reciprocal
agreement not be reached the developer is proposing to locate
an alternate site or sites at the final subdivision map stage
and preclude development of the land for a period not to
exceed 5 years at which time if a use is not secured the land
would revert back to residential.
Staff recommends that the developer identify permanent
locations for the additional 4.45-acres of CPF land, subject
to approval of the Director of Planning and prior to approval
of the tentative subdivision map, and that, in accordance with
the Chula vista Municipal Code, there be no reversion of
acreage clause for CPF sites in the approved SPA Plan.
12. Public Facilities Financinq Plan
The objective of the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP)
is to identify all public facilities, such as transportation,
f ire and emergency medical service, water, flood control,
sewage disposal, schools and parks required to support the
planned development of Salt Creek Ranch. The PFFP for Salt
Creek Ranch is written to guide development of the project and
is the first such analysis required by the City's new Growth
Management Ordinance. It proposes recommended financing
programs to ensure the construction of necessary improvements,
as well as to identify regional facilities needed to serve
this project and costs to construct those regional facilities.
The improvements stated in the PFFP shall be requirements of
subsequent discretionary permits. In most cases, they will
become conditions of approval of Tentative and Final
subdi vision Maps. In other cases, building and occupancy
permits will be the means of implementation. Improvements

within that particular phase.
are intended to be
of any dwelling unit
The plan discusses improvements through available financing
techniques. Some facilities will be financed by the developer
and others can be better financed through specific techniques
available in state law. For example, the financing of schools
can be assured by the use of Mello-Roos Community Facilities
District financing. The plan also ties the project into the
City's Development Impact Fee (DIF) program which primarily
provides for transportation improvements necessitated by
development east of 1-805. Public Facilities Development
Impact Fees are needed for other City services including
public safety, libraries, corporation yard, fire training
facility, civic center and geographic information system.
The financing plan is dependent on city-wide documents beyond
the General Development Plan, Environmental Impact Report and
SPA Plan. It is also based on the Eastern Chula vista
Transportation Phasing Plan, the Development Impact Fee and
the Public Facilities Development Impact Fee of the City of
Chula vista. If upon the completion of a financing study for
SRl25 (under preparation by H.N.T.B., a consulting firm) and
determination as to the consistency of the Salt Creek Ranch
development with the conclusions of the study, the project's
phasing results in a significant or material modification of
proposed phasing of public facilities, then an addendum to the
PFFP should be prepared which reflects these changes.
Revisions may also be required of the ECVTPP and the Public
Facilities DIF Program.
Also included in the PFFP is a statement of current Thresholds
and an analysis of how each Threshold will be complied with,
by phase. The Executive Summary of the Salt Creek Ranch PFFP
also recommends necessary mitigation.
with respect to public facilities such
recreation, schools, libraries, water, sewer,
police and fire facilities, the Salt Creek
makes the following provisions:

storm drainage,
Ranch SPA Plan
a. Transportation: The transportation projects to be
financed by Salt Creek Ranch are of two basic types:
1) Those facilities that provide for major circulation
within Salt Creek Ranch which will primarily
benefit the Salt Creek Ranch development; and
2) Those facilities that are off-site of Salt Creek
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
14
Ranch that will be of benefit to other eastern area
developments including Salt Creek Ranch.
The phasing of on-site improvements are made part of the
PFFP and will be constructed prior to need. Off-site and
regional improvements are also included in the plan by
reference. Salt Creek Ranch will be subject to the
revised Transportation Phasing Plan and will participate
in improvements required by that plan as needed.
b. Parks and Recreation: Salt Creek Ranch includes a 7-acre
(net) Neighborhood Park and a 22-acre (net) Community
Park, incorporating active recreation and passive park
uses. Both the Neighborhood and Community Park designs
will be subject to approval prior to approval of the
Tentative Subdivision Map. The developer will be required
to construct the parks under direction of the Director of
Parks and Recreation. The developer will also make
separate contributions or additional improvements toward
meeting the required park improvements per the City I S
Park Land Dedication Ordinance. Staff recommends that a
modification to park phasing, that assumes that adequate
project park acreage will be developed in accordance with
project population and unit phasing. At no time will the
project be deficit in park acreage and details of park
phasing will be subject to approval of the Director of
Parks and Recreation.
c. Schools: The Salt Creek Ranch project will be required
to reach agreement on a financing plan for school
facilities prior to approval of the Tentative Subdivision
Map. A Mello-Roos Community Facilities District to
finance elementary, junior and high school facilities has
been suggested as a mechanism subject to approval of the
individual school districts. Two 10-acre (net) elementary
schools are proposed within Salt Creek Ranch and
financing for off-site junior and senior high facilities
will be required for the 507 junior and 267 senior high
students anticipated from this project.
d. Water Facilities: The Otay Water District will provide
water service to Salt Creek Ranch, which is located
partially within the 980 zone system and partially within
the 1296 zone system. To provide water within the 1296
zone, an off-site water storage facility will be
required. If Salt Creek Ranch is the first to need water
service in the 1296 zone, it will have to build the
storage reservoir.
Water services allocated to Salt Creek Ranch will be

determined for a future quarter as a part of an agreement
with the otay Water District for construction of required
terminal reservoir storage and other major water
facilities. The facilities identified in the PFFP shall
be required of the developer either as constructed
facilities or through the payment offers as indicated.
A reclaimed water ~ystem will be constructed within Salt
Creek Ranch in accordance with the Master Plan now being
developed by the otay Water District (See Sewer section
of PFFP).
e. Sewer Facilities: The Salt Creek Ranch project currently
lies within four drainage basins. These include Proctor
Valley Basin, Telegraph Canyon Basin, Salt Creek Basin
and otay Lake Basin. New trunk sewer extensions will be
needed to convey sewage to the Spring Valley Sanitation
District and to the Telegraph Canyon Interceptor. Flows
from the Salt Creek Basin and otay Lake Basin will
require pumping into the Telegraph Canyon Interceptor. A
permanent pump station will be needed to pump flows from
406 units in Subarea #3 of the SPA Plan and approximately
100 future off-site units into the Salt Creek Basin.
until the Salt Creek Interceptor is constructed, these
flows along with the Salt Creek Basin flow will be pumped
to the Telegraph Canyon Interceptor. Construction of the
Salt Creek Interceptor is dependent on development within
EastLake and otay Ranch. The proposed 12 mgd water
reclamation plant within the otay River Valley will have
capacity to treat Salt Creek Ranch flows.
On-site collection sewers and pump facilities will be
built and funded by the developer as a subdivision
exaction. The developer shall be responsible for payment
of fees for the project's share of off-site facilities,
including the Salt Creek Interceptor.
f. Drainage System: Salt Creek Ranch will be served by a
series of on-site storm water facilities that will serve
to collect and convey the storm water for this project
into the City's storm water system and within the Salt
Creek Basin providing for continued natural drainage
flows.
An urban runoff protection system will be required
subject to approval of various agencies, including the
city of San Diego, for drainage within the Otay Lake
Basin. The Upper Otay Reservoir, recipient of drainage
from that basin, is a source of drinking water to the
residents of the City of San Diego and, therefore, water

quality must be protected. Salt Creek Ranch proposes an
interim water quality protection and monitoring program
designed to protect this source of drinking water. It is
expected that a future permanent reservoir protection
system will be installed for both Upper and Lower Otay
Reservoirs.
The developer will be responsible for the design and
construction of this Urban Runoff Protection System and
all on-site drainage facilities.
g. Library: The Salt Creek Ranch project does not propose
anyon-site library facilities, although the developer
will be responsible for the payment of fees, based on
estimated proj ect population, into the City's Public
Facilities DIF program. Library facilities are planned
for implementation within the adjacent EastLake
Development, immediately to the south.
h. Fire and Emergency Medical Services: Salt Creek Ranch
will be providing a 1-acre (net) fire station site within
the project. Construction of a fire station of
approximately 4,000 sq. ft. and purchase of a reserve
fire pumper will be required along with installing
necessary streets and water facilities to service the
station. If this project proceeds ahead of the adjacent
Rancho San Miguel project then a brush rig will be
required and the developer will be required to front the
necessary funds and then will be credited against the
payment of public facilities fees.
i. other Facilities: While there are no other public
facilities proposed for inclusion within the Salt Creek
Ranch project area, the developer will be responsible for
the payment of fees into the Public Facilities DIF
program which will fund the City's corporation yard,
police facility improvements, civic center expansion and
an automated city geographic information system.
Salt Creek Ranch may be required to front funds for the
above facilities to the extent that DIF monies are not
available for capital expenditures. These monies will be
credited against the payment of public facilities fees
for costs up to the amount of fees due.
12. Air Oualitv Improvement Plan
The City's Growth Management Ordinance requires that projects
of 50 units or greater provide an Air Quality Improvement
Plan.
City Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
17
As discussed in the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Air Quality
Improvement Plan (Section 7.8 of the SPA), the most
significant air quality improvement measures are those
policies and regulations established at the broadest
geographic level (i.e., State or Federal). However, measures
implemented on a city or project level can have a positive
impact. The Air Quality Improvement Plan prepared for Salt
Creek Ranch includes mitigation measures suggested by the
developer and those recommended by the consultant reviewing
the plan, Stevens/Garland & Associates. These include
pedestrian and bicycle paths, jobs/housing balance, access to
regional travel systems, access to transit and educational
programs to increase awareness.
Local and regional air quality regulations including the Air
Pollution Control District program are being drafted that will
supersede existing standards. Salt Creek Ranch is being
reviewed in advance of these programs. The Air Quality
Improvement Plan recommends several improvement measures with
the project to help limit individual car trips, including
encouraging car pooling and bus ridership. Staff recommends
the provision of pedestrian walks from specific open-ended
cul-de-sacs along East H Street, west of Hunte Parkway, to
improve neighborhood access to transit routes. In addition,
Salt Creek Ranch will be subject to on-going monitoring
programs inherent in the City's Transportation Phasing Plan
and Growth Management Program.
The need for park-and-ride facilities, as well as neighborhood
commercial facilities to serve this project and adjacent
projects has been discussed during review of the project to
help reduce the number of project-generated vehicle trips.
staff is recommending that a neighborhood commercial site be
developed within the adjacent Rancho San Miguel project, along
East H Street, and that the developer commit to funding its
proportionate share of a future park-and-ride facility. The
location of a park-and-ride facility in the area of East H
Street/SR-125 has not been identified, although, the developer
is recommending that the community park site could be used as
an interim park-and-ride facility until a permanent site
closer to SR-125 is developed. This approach would require
approval of the Director of Parks and Recreation.
12. Water Conservation Plan
The Salt Creek Ranch Water Conservation Master Plan (prepared
by Wilson Engineering, 1991) is briefly summarized in the SPA
document (Section 7.2.13) and is enclosed with this report.
This master plan is patterned after the Rancho Del Rey Water
Conservation Plan, with the exception of discussion of a water
city Planning commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
18
offset program which was required of the recently approved
Rancho Del Rey project.
The Salt Creek Ranch Water Conservation Plan states that the
projected average water demand for all areas of Salt Creek
Ranch is 1,781,618. with the implementation of on-site
measures recommended in the plan (efficient fixtures and
devices in the units, efficient landscaping and irrigation,
public awareness and education programs) a savings of
approximately 294,600 gallons per day (ave. 110 mgd per
residence) can be realized.
Consistent with the City's approach on prior projects staff is
recommending that the developer commit to participate in any
off-site mitigation program adopted by the city designed to
offset all or a portion of their new water demand. Said
program may require one or more of the following:
.
Compliance with a regional water use
program, to be administered by the San Diego
Water Authority.
offset
County
. Compliance with a locally administered water use
offset program (such program may be administered by
the City, water district, or a combination of
both) ;
. Implementation of specific water use offset
measures for this project, if neither a regional or
locally-administered water use offset program is in
place prior to issuance of building permits for any
portion of this project.
In the event that a city-approved water offset policy is not
in effect at the time building permits are issued, the
requirements of this plan should be met through implementation
of specific water offset measures for this project, with the
level of offsets and specific measures to be approved by the
City.
13. Implementation
Beyond the standard implementation methods utilized for this
project, such as Tentative Subdivision Map and site Plan
approvals, there are several other implementation tools which
are applicable to this project.
a. PC District Requlations & Desiqn Guidelines
The Planned Community District Regulations and Design
City Planning Commission
Agenda Item for Meeting of February 26, 1992
19
Guidelines will be brought forward to the Planning
Commission at a follow-up meeting.
c. Monitorinq Proqram
Salt Creek Ranch will be required to submit updated
development summaries, forecasts and development data,
such as actual traffic counts and building permit
information to the City for evaluation and comparison to
the Financing Plan as adopted.
The Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) needs to be
updated annually, as the actual amount, timing and
location of the new development takes place.
The monitoring plan shall also review the ongoing fiscal
impact on the city's Operation Budget. The Fiscal Impact
Analysis prepared as part of the PFFP, shows a positive
cumulative impact in the City over the first 15 years of
the Salt Creek Ranch project. Should the fiscal impact in
the city change in the future, the annual monitoring
program will provide the analysis for the reasons, and
the alternative courses of action which are to be taken.
D. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
1. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY
WITH THE SALT CREEK RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE
CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Salt Creek Ranch sectional Planning Area Plan reflects the
land uses, circulation system, open space and recreational
uses, and public facility uses consistent with the Salt Creek
Ranch General Development Plan and Chula vista General Plan.
2. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE
ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA.
The SPA Plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan contain
provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased
development of the project. The Public Facilities Financing
Plan specifies the public facilities required by Salt Creek
Ranch, and also the regional facilities needed to serve it.
3. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL NOT ADVERSELY
AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION
OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within Salt Creek Ranch are designed with a
grade-separated open space buffer adjacent EastLake Business
Park, a neighborhood park will be located adjacent to the
westerly project boundary to serve both project and adjacent
residents, and the project will provide a wide range of
housing types for all economic levels. A comprehensive street
network serves the project and provides for access to off site
adjacent properties. The proposed plan closely follows all
existing environmental protection guidelines and will avoid
unacceptable off-site impacts through the provision of
mitigation measures specified in the Salt Creek Ranch
Environmental Impact Report.
