acres constituting the westerly shore of Lower
(Agricultural zone, IOO-acre minimum parcel size).
by the City of San Diego.
The Envi ronmenta 1 Revi ew Coordi nator has determi ned that the proposal is

of approximately 100
Otay Lake to A-IOO
The property is owned
B. RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a motion recommending that the City Council zone approximately 100
acres to A-IOO as shown on Exhibit A.
C. DISCUSSION
The property in question represents the area between Wueste Road and the
shore1 ine of Lower Otay Lake, south of Otay Lakes Road, and generally
cons i sts of vacant, undeveloped open space. The Ci ty of San Di ego boat
launch facility is located on the southerly portion of the property, and
the Olympic Training Center Boathouse facility is proposed in the central
portion, directly east of the main OTC site.
At the time the City of Chu1a Vista adopted the EastLake III GDP and the
OTC SPA Plan and prezoning, the area east of Wueste Road was intended to
remain unincorporated and under County jurisdiction. When LAFCO approved
the OTC annexation, however, they extended the boundary to the shoreline
of Lower Otay Lake in order to create logical service boundaries. This
action added the area to Chu1a Vista's corporate limits, but left the
property without any zoning.
D. ANALYSIS
The property is designated on the Chu1a vista General Plan as Open
Space. In the text of the General P1 an thi s des i gnat i on is descri bed as
"Open Space, Agricultural and Reserve," typical uses for which include
open spaces such as floodplains and mountains, 1 imited recreation uses,
rural residential, and agricultural uses such as farms, orchards,
pastures, and 1 i vestock rai sing. The property has also been i dent ifi ed
in the General Plan as one of two north-south 1 inks in the Chula Vista
Greenbelt -- the other being the Salt Creek canyon and stream valley.
The stated purpose of the Agri cultura 1 zone is to "provi de a zone with
appropriate uses for areas rural in character, which are undeveloped and
not yet ready for urbanization". The Agricultural zone is the most
restrictive that Chu1a Vista has, and with the "100" designator, would

allow no further subdivision of the property, nor more than one single
family dwell ing on the entire 100 acres. The estab1 ishment of the OTC
Boathouse or other 1 ake-ori ented recreat i ona 1 use wou1 d requi re approval
of a conditional use permit by the City Council.
Both the Chula Vista City School Oistrict and the Sweetwater Union High
School Oistrict have stated they have no special requirements for this
proposal, but if the zoning is changed in the future to allow for more
intensive uses, the property may have to be annexed to a Community
Facilities District (Me110-Roos District).
