PUBLIC HEARING:
PCZ-93-A: Consideration to Drezone 3.59
acres north of Otav Lakes Road. east of
Lehiah Avenue to R-1 Sinale Familv
Residential - citv initiated
A. BACKGROUND
The proposal involves the prezoning of the 3. 59-acre Otay
Municipal Water District water tank site located north of Otay
Lakes Road and east of Lehigh Avenue to R-1 Single Family
Residential. The site is currently zoned County S87 (Limited
Control).
The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that this
action is exempt from environmental review as a Class 19(a)
exemption.
B. RECOMMENDATION
Based on the findings contained in Section D, adopt a motion
recommending that the City Council prezone 3.59 acres to R-1
as shown on Exhibit A.
C. DISCUSSION
The proposal area consists of a rectangular parcel of land
north of Otay Lakes Road and east of Lehigh Avenue. It lies
at the northwest corner of the proposed Telegraph Canyon
Estates project area, although outside of the boundaries of
that project. The subject parcel is owned by the otay
Municipal Water District and contains a water tank.
The proposed pre zoning and subsequent annexation of this
property is a result of a requirement by LAFCO that this
parcel be annexed in conjunction with the annexation of the
adjacent property currently being processed under the project
name of Telegraph Canyon Estates. The annexation of this 3.59
acre parcel in conjunction with that project will preclude the
creation of a County island.
The existing land uses to the west of the subject site are
residential, consisting primarily of detached single-family
homes (Southwestern College Estates). The property directly
north, east and south of this parcel is included in the
proposed Telegraph Canyon Estates project, which depicts
community purpose facilities directly north of this parcel,
and detached single family residential to the east and south.

The proposed pre zoning would place the subject property in the
R-1 residential zone, consistent with existing westerly
adjacent zoning. Existing zoning on this site is S87 (Limited
Control) which is intended to provide limited controls on
property pending specific studies for rezoning (please see
attached for a copy of the S87 zone regulations). The R-1
zone is also consistent with the Chula Vista General Plan,
which designates the site for Residential Low-Medium (3-6
dwelling units per acre).
The subject site is owned by the otay Municipal Water District
and currently contains a water tank. While the rezoning of
this property would technically create a legal nonconforming
use (public and quasi-public uses require a conditional use
permit approved by the City Council, per Section 19.54.020(M)
of the City Municipal Code), the existing water tank would not
be affected except in the case of a proposal for substantial
modification to the site, at which time an application for a
conditional use permit could be required.
As the City does not have a specific zone for pUblic uses,
these land uses have been placed in the category of
Unclassified Uses, which may be permitted in any zone with the
approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council. The
R-1 zone is the most appropriate designation for the subject
site, considering the surrounding zoning and land uses.
D. FINDINGS
The proposed prezoning is consistent with the City of Chula
Vista General Plan, and public necessity, convenience, the
general welfare, and good zoning practice support the
prezoning to R-1 Single Family Residential,
~-2.
