PUBLIC HEARING: (A) PCZ-91-D - Consideration of Drezoninl! 14.23 acres located north of the terminus of Moonview Drive from RR-1 (County) to RE-P (8.37 acres) and RE- 40 (5.86 acres) - Michael Demich (B) PCS-91-02 - Consideration of tentative subdivision maD for Bonita Hills Executive Estates. Chula Vista Tract PCS-91-02 - Michael Demich A. BACKGROUND 1. This item involves a prezone of 14.23 acres to the City's RE-P and RE-40 zones, and the subdivision of 8.37 acres of the 14.23 acres into 12 residential and 2 open space lots. The parcel to be subdivided is proposed to be prezoned to RE-P. Two adjoining parcels to the east owned by the Sweetwater Authority are proposed to be prezoned to RE-40. All parcels are located north of the terminus of Moonview Drive in the County of San Diego (see Exhibits A and B). 2. An Initial Study, IS-91-15, of possible adverse environmental impacts of the project was conducted by the Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC). The ERC concluded that there would be no significant environmental effects and reconnnends adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program (see Exhibit C). When the Coastal California Gnatcatcher was listed as threatened by the Federal Government under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act, a Section "4( d)" rule was adopted which gave local governments the ability to issue permits for limited loss of Coastal Sage Habitat for which long range construction plans are being prepared. The Project site includes areas of Coastal Sage and California Gnatcatcher habitat, and, therefore, a 4(d) Coastal Sage loss permit will be necessary for development of the project. The fmdings for this loss permit are included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The loss permit will be considered for issuance by the Director of Planning prior to issuance of a grading permit. B. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached Resolutions PCZ-91-D and PCS-91-02 reconnnending that the City Council approve the proposed prezoning and Tentative Subdivision Map in accordance with the attached draft City Council Ordinance and Resolution, based on the fmdings and subject to the conditions contained therein. City Planning Connnission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 14, 1994 Page #2 C. DISCUSSION 1. Zoning and Land Use. Site North South East West ZONING LAND USE RR-1 (County) Vacant RR-1/RR-5 (County) Residential PC (Planned Connn.) Residential RR-1 (County) Vacant RR-5 (County) Vacant/Residential County R-1 Zoning indicates the allowance of one dwelling per 1, 2 & 4 acres, while R-5 Zoning indicates 4.3 dwellings per acre. The site is bounded by existing single family residences at the northwestern, northern and northeastern boundaries, water storage facilities at the southern boundary, an improved access road entering at the northeast boundary, Moon View Drive entering at the south central boundary, and undeveloped land at the southwestern and eastern boundaries. The project is compatible with surrounding land uses. The properties to the north, east and west of all parcels are in the County of San Diego and designated Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac), Residentia11 and Residential 5, respectively, on the Sweetwater Connnunity Plan. The property to the south (Terra Nova) is in the City of Chula Vista and is designated Residential-Low Medium (3-6 du/ac) on the City's General Plan. 2. Existing site characteri~tics. The 8.37 acre tentative map parcel slopes to the west with an average natural slope of 15% and a maximum natural slope of 40%. The southern end of the property features a north-facing slope with disturbed vegetation which gradually drops into a drainage course with sage scrub. The terrain rises again to the north onto a barren ridge line, before dropping steeply into Bonita Valley. The 5.86 acre Sweetwater parcels are bounded on the west by the tentative map parcel, to the north by a single family residence, to the south by a parcel containing a water tank and another vacant parcel, and to the east by vacant land. Access is from Randy Lane off Bonita Road or from Moonview Drive through Terra Nova via East "H" Street. A pumping house structure sits at the east central portion of the property. City Planning Connnission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 14, 1994 Page #3 Drainage from the tentative map area is to the west and flows toward the center of the project, which then follows the natural drainage course westward off-site, then northward and eventually ends up in the Sweetwater River. On the eastern boundary near the center of the site is a disturbed fill slope. The maximum elevation is 308 feet at the south end of the property, whereas the low elevation is approximately 116 feet in the extreme northwestern comer of the property. The 18.7 million gallon reinforced concrete Bonita Valley Reservoir on the Sweetwater parcels includes a pump house and a two foot earthen "blanket" placed over the concrete tank, on which sage scrub was seeded. Although these parcels are proposed for annexation concurrently with the tentative map area, they will not be developed because of the presence of gnatcatchers and sensitive habitat. 3. Proposed development. As a residential development, the homes will be custom built and, according to the applicant, will sell in the range of $300,000 to $500,000. Development must be constructed in accordance with the precise plan guidelines established as part of the prezone related to density and lot size, and RE standards. No other review other than what is necessary for the building permits will be required. 4. Prezone. The prezone will establish City zoning prior to annexation. The subdivision map area will be prezoned RE-P, Residential Estate - Precise Plan, while the Sweetwater Authority parcels will be prezoned to RE-40, Residential Estate - 40,000 sq. ft minimum Jot size. With City zoning, the project will be subject to the standards contained in Chapter 19.22, R-E - Residential Estates Zone, and any precise plan standards established under the "P" Precise Plan modifying district. Lot sizes vary in size from the smallest of 13,168 sq. ft. (Lot 5) to the largest of 20,255 sq. ft. (Lot 10). 5. Tentative map. As noted earlier, the tentative subdivision map proposes to divide the 8.37 acres into twelve residential parcels. Lots 1 to 6 will be placed on the ridge line between Open Space Lots "A" and "B," while Lots 7 to 12 will be placed along the southern portion of the project. Lots 10 to 12 will abut the present City boundary . City Planning Connnission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 14, 1994 Page #4 Because of its excessive slope, Open Space Lot "A," will not be developed. Open Space Lot "B" will also not be developed as a result of a biology study carried out under the initial study which identified several important issues (see the Mitigated Negative Declaration for IS-91-15, Attachment "B"). Open Space Lot "B" contains the storm drain and the sewer line. The subdivision will be accessed from Moonview Drive, which is proposed to be gated. 6. Annexation. The annexation request has been submitted by the applicant and will be considered at a later date. All three parcels are conditioned to be annexed prior to approval of the Final Map. D. ANALYSIS GENERAL PLAN CONFORMANCE: The subdivision and reservoir area's General Plan designation in the County of San Diego is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac). The City of Chula Vista General Plan designation for the both parcels is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac). The proposed prezoning to RE-P and RE-40 are consistent with these designations. ZONING ORDINANCE CONFORMANCE: The current zoning, under the County of San Diego is R-1 (1 acre minimum lot size). The proposed City of Chu1a Vista zoning for the subdivision is RE-P (minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet). The application of the "P" modifier to this project will allow parcels of less than 20,000 sq. ft., along with the retention of the permanent open spaces, provided the overall density does not exceed the maximum allowable under the RE Zone. The Sweetwater Authority site~ will be prezoned RE-40 which requires a minimum one acre lot per dwelling. This is in keeping with the existing County zoning and General Plan designation. GRADING/LANDFORM MODIFICATION: The project conforms with the City's landform grading policies as specified in Sections 6.2 and 7.7 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The challenge of this particular project was the grading because of the severe slope of the terrain, and the related engineering structures necessary to adequately serve it. The grading pattern conforms to the policies mentioned above. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: The environmental analysis found the presence of coastal sage on the site and gnatcatchers in close proximity to the project. This was investigated through the Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration has been issued for 1S-91-15 (Exhibit C). City Planning Connnission Agenda Item for Meeting of September 14, 1994 Page #5 Development of the subdivision will result in a 1. 5 acre loss of gnatcatcher habitat (coastal sage). Under the 4(d) mitigation requirements, the applicant is required to re- vegetate the Sweetwater tank parcel (APN 592-171-61), irrigate the re-vegetated areas and fence off the parcel to ensure, to the extent possible, that domesticated animals do not threaten any nesting gnatcatchers. In addition, the applicant is required to re-vegetate any disturbed areas in Open Space Lot "B" resulting from the project, and along the bank adjacent to Street "B," and any areas disturbed as a result of grading activities adjoining the subdivision. All re-vegetated areas not within the subdivision are to be monitored for a period of five years to ensure that the native plants thrive and are capable of supporting themselves. If after five year the plants are not thriving, the Environmental Review Coordinator has the option of extending the monitoring period. CIRCULATION/ACCESS: Access to the project will be from Moonview Drive to the southeast of the project, which will be gated. Access to the project from Randy Lane off of Bonita Road will be provided but gated and restricted to emergency access only. The proposed street names for the project are: Street "A" - Moonview Drive Street "B" - Moonview Way Street "C" - Moonview Court DRAINAGE: Drainage from the site will be to the west from the center of the site. Streets "A" and "C" will drain down to approximately the center of the project in Open Space Lot "B" where it will then follow the natural drainage pattern out of the subdivision. The drainage strUl;tures will not allow a greater volume or velocity of water to surface drain off the site than does so at present. PUBLIC SERVICES/UTILITIES: A sewer line serving Lots 7 to 12 in Street "C" will flow into a line in Street "B" then to Street "A." An easement running down the lot line separating Lots 4 and 5 will take the sewer line off-site to the west. Approximately 460 feet to the west, the line turns north where, after approximately 430 more feet, it will connect to Glen Abbey Boulevard.

F: \HOME\PLANNING\MARTIN\BONIT A \9102CC .RES Resolution No. Bonita Hills Executive Estates - PCS-91-02 Page No.3 2. The design of the subdivision will not affect the existing improvements -- streets, sewers, etc. -- which have been designed to avoid any serious problems. 3. The project is in substantial conformance with the Chula Vista General Plan Elements as follows: a. Land Use - Based on the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan pertaining to Residential Low (0-3 du/ac), this Tentative Subdivision Map is deemed to be consistent with the General Plan. b. Circulation - The project has limited access via Moonview Drive to private streets. These streets meet minimum City requirements for such streets. The project will not adversely effect the Circulation Element in that the adjoining street system was designed to handle the anticipated flow of traffic resulting from this and other area projects. c. Housing - The type of housing being proposed is large-lot, detached single-family residential structures. This project meets the goals, objectives and policies of the Housing Element in that Goals 1 and 4, General Objectives 1, 3,4 and 8, and Housing Policies 2,6,7 and 8 are implemented by this project. d.

F:\HOME\PLANNING\MARTIN\BONIT A \9102CC .RES Resolution No. Bonita Hills Executive Estates - PCS-91-02 Page No.4 Seismic Policy of the Safety Element - The study Soil and Geologic Reconnaissance for Bonita Hills Executive Estates, a study carried out by GEOCON ,Inc., a geotechnical engineering firm, concluded that due to the project's proximity to regional active faults, including the Elsinore Fault and the San Jacinto Fault Zones, which lie approximately 41 and 62 miles to the northeast, respectively, there does not appear to be a significant risk of seismically induced liquefaction occurring on the property. Therefore, the project implements or otherwise conforms to Policy Statement 5 of Section 3.2, Seismic Policy, of the Safety Element, which states: "5. No lands shall be subdivided, developed, or filled within the City of Chula Vista in the absence of supportable, professional evidence that the proposed subdivision, development, or land fill would be geologically safe.

Proiect Setting The proposed project consists of the annexation, prezoning and processing of a tentative subdivision map on a 8.37 acre parcel currently located in the County of San Diego to the City of Chula VistJI and the annexation and prezoning of adjoining 5.86 acre parcels owned by the Sweetwater Authority. The tentJItive subdivision map proposes to divide the 8.37 acre property into 12 single family lots and two open space lots. The 8.37 acre site consists primarily of a rectangular tract of land abutting the BonitJI Valley Reservoir on the west, north of the terminus of Moonview Drive. The 5:86 acre parcel to the east contains the 18.7 million gallon concrete BonitJI Valley Reservoir covered with a two foot earthen "blanket" over the concrete tJInk on which sage scrub was seeded. Although this parcel is proposed for annexation concurrently with the tentative map area, it will not be developed because of the 18.7 million because of the presence of gnatcatchers and habitJIt. The southern end of the subdivision property features a north-facing slopes with disturbed vegetJItion which gradually drops into a drainage with sage scrub. The terrain rises again to the north onto a barren ridgeline, before dropping steeply. into BonitJI Valley. On the eastern boundary near the center of the site is a disturbed fill slope abutting a buried reservoir. The high elevation is 308 feet at the south end of the property, on a hillside below the existing water tJInk while the low elevation is approximately 11 6 feet in the extreme northwestern corner of the property on a steep slope overlooking BonitJI Valley. B. Proiect DescriDtion The proposed project is an annexation to the City of Chula Vista and prezoning of approximately eight acres and subdivision of the site mto 14 lots in addition to the annexation and prezoning of 5.86 acres owned by the Sweetwater Authority. Twelve of the subdivision lots will be for development of custom homes, two of the' lots will be dedicated open space for protection of sensitive environmental resources. Site access will be via Moonview Drive which will be gated at the entrance to the site. ~{~ -.- ........_~_. - - city of chula vista planning department atY OF environmental review ..ctlon CHULA VISTA The area of the tentative map is bounded by eXlstmg single family residences at the northeastern and southwestern corners, water storage facilities at the eastern and southern portions, a partially improved road at the northwest boundaries, Moon View Drive at the southeastern corner, and undeveloped land at the remaining boundaries. The Sweetwater parcels are bounded on the west by the tentative map parcel, to the north by a single family residence, to the south partly by a parcel contJIining a water tank and another vacant parcel, and 10 the east by vacant land. Access is from Randy Lane off of BonitJI Road or from Moonview Drive through Terra Nova via East "H" Street. A pumping house structure sits at the east central portion of the property. The property to the north, east and west of both parcels is in the County of San Diego and designated Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac), Residential 1 and Residential 5, respectively, on the Sweetwater Community Plan. The property to the south (Terra Nova) is in the City of Chula VistJI and is designated Residential-Low Medium (3-6 du/ac) on the City's General Plan. Zoning for the property to the north, east and west is RR-l (to the north and east) and RS-4 (to east and west). Terra Nova is zoned PC (Planned Community) by the City of Chula VistJI. The approximate areas for Lots 1 to 12 have been partly cleared. To mitigate the "tJlking" of coastJIl sage, the applicant is to conditioned to vegetJIte any disturbed areas and the parcel immediately to the south contJIining the water tank. This will also include irrigation. All revegetJIted areas are to be monitored for a period of five years to ensure that native plants develop into thriving plants capable of supporting themselves. The City of Chula Vista has posted a notice of proposal to issue a 4 (d) Coastal Sage Scrub Loss Permit in accordance with the Endangered Species Act and the mitigation plans and fmdings for that permit are attached as part of this mitigated negative declaration. C. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans The project site's General Plan designation in the County of San Diego is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac). The proposed City of Chula VistJI General Plan designation for the site is Residential-Low (0-3 du/ac). The current zoning, under the County of San Diego is RR-l (I acre minimum lot size). The proposed City of Chula Vista zoning is RE- P for the subdivision and RE-40 for the Sweetwater sites. D. Identification of EnvironmentJIl Effects An initial study conducted by the City of Chula VistJI (including the attached EnvironmentJIl Checklist Form) determined that the proposed project could have one or more significant environmentJIl effects. Subsequent revisions in the project design and/or specific mitigation measures will be implemented to reduce these effects to a level below significant. With project revisions and/or mitigation, no significant environmental effects will occur, and the preparation of an EnvironmentJIl Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with Section 15070 of the StJlte CEQA C:\NANCY\\DEMICHJS\ Page 2 Guidelines. Specific mitigation measures are set forth in the Mitigation Monitoring Program which is attached as Attachment "A". The following impacts are those that were determined to be potentially significant and are required to be mitigated to a level below significant. A discussion of each of these potentially significant but mitigatJIble impacts from the proposed project follows. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Existinl! Conditions: A biological survey was performed on the 8.37-acre BonitJI Hills Executive EstJIte site to identify sensitive biological resources and constraints for future development of the site. The Biological Assessment for the site is on file in the City of Chula Vista Planning Departtnent. The survey revealed that the site is utilized by both Coastal Cactus Wrens and the California Gnatcatcher. The former inhabits sage scrub and cactus near the ravine along the western fenceline, and territories extend off-site into higher quality habitat immediately west. The gnatcatchers were noted at the same locale; as well as in sage scrub now growing on the eastern boundary of the site and further into the earthen seal for the reservoir. Two easements of 1.21 and 1.50 acres, which represent approximately 30 % of the area of the tentative subdivision map is proposed as dedicated biological open space to protect these sensitive birds and their habitat. Two plants of limited sensitivity were noted: several California Adolphia grow near the ravine along the western boundary, and eight San Diego Viguiera occur further upslope to the north. HabitJIt quality varies widely on the property, with disturbed grasslands in the south and north, and fair to good quality Diegan Sage Scrub covering much of the canyon's flanks in the center of the property . Two vegetation types were present on the property: Diegan Sage Scrub and a very disturbed Annual Grassland. Shrub diversity at the BonitJI Hills site is relatively liInited. The more diverse sage scrub is concentrated near the drainage along the western boundary. Unusual for the region is the high incidence of California Encelia, which although a common plant, is rarely the dominant cover. Also occurring is CoastJIl Sagebrush, Lemonadeberry in the more mesic canyon bottom, Flat-top Buckwheat, Spanish Bayonet and Black Sage. Near the western boundary, by the drainage, grows some Jojoba, Coast Cholla, and further upslope San Diego Viguiera in liInited numbers. The understory is relatively liInited. Native elements include the late-flowering San Diego Want Chicory, Bicolored Cudweed, Ocean Locoweed and California Filago. At one artificially moist locale, along the southern boundary, near an irrigated residential yard, is one Arroyo Willow and a Great Marsh Evening Primrose. No other wetland species were seen on the property. The disturbed Annual GrasslandlDisturbed habitat includes an abundance of the noxious Tecolote and Wild Mustard. The overall quality of this grassland is considered poor. Much of the grassland habitJIt in the south may have been created during construction of the adjacent buried reservoir. Grassy areas on the ridge line in the north are likely the result of peripheral residential disturbance. C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ Page 3 Of the species of plants that were recorded on the site, thirty-seven are non-native invasive elements. None of these additional species is expected to be listed as sensitive. The Diegan Sage Scrub and Annual Grassland are habitat types for wildlife on the site. A small canyon with a few large shrubs at the western end of the property is kept moist by suburban runoff. This is an attractive area for animal-life in an otherwise arid environment.. Two sensitive species of birds were observed utilizing the available sage scrub habitJIt, Coast Cactus Wren and California Gnatcatcher. No amphibian were observed. Only one species of reptile were observed. Fifteen species of birds were observed on the site. Most of the species were associated with the natural sage scrub habitat. As many as six CoastJIl Cactus Wrens were observed. One pair of California Gnatcatchers utilize this property. No nesting activity was detected, but the quality of the available sage scrub habitat is rather good. A separate single gnatcatcher was seen and heard briefly to the northeast of this property along Randy Lane, indicating their presence there as well. Another pair of gnatcatchers uses the revegetated sage scrub covering the adjacent underground reservoir and the small tract of sage scrub in the southeast (south of Moonview Drive). Desert Cottontail was observed. Coyote was detected from its scat. California Ground Squirrel burrows were found, and they undoubtedly occur on-site, particularly within the disturbed terrain. Potential Environmental ImDacts: Both the Riversidian phase and the Diegan phase of CoastJIl Sage Scrub have been severely reduced in totJIl acreage over the last century. Along with the extensive reduction in sage scrub has come a piecemeal fragmentJItion of larger tracts of such habitat. Isolation into small parcels devoid of viable linkages to other similar lands has undercut the value of such lands. Substantial redesign has eliminated initial significant biological impacts. Several adverse biological impacts will result from the proposed 12-lot split. . Loss of 1.5 acres of Diegan Sage Scrub. This habitJIt is severely declining in the Bonita region due to urban development and its conservation is a focus of regional planning for both Chula VistJI and San Diego County. This highest quality sage scrub is situated in proposed open space B. Impacted sage scrub is of lesser or degraded quality. . The loss of eight San Diego Viguiera are not considered biologically significant. C;\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ Page 4 CULTURAL RESOURCES Existing Conditions: An Archaeological/Historical Assessment was prepared for the project site to determine if any significant cultural resources were present. The entire Cultural Resource Survey is on file in the City of Chula Vista Planning Departtnent. Record searches were conducted at the San Diego Museum of Man and the South Coastal Information Center at San Diego StJlte University to identify previously recorded archaeological sites within one mile of the site. No sites were recorded on the project site, however, the record searches indicated that ten prehistoric sites have been recorded within one mile of the property. All sites are located along ridge tops overlooking either side drainages or the Sweetwater River. In 1981, the project site was part of a larger survey for Sweetwater Authority for the Bonita Valley Reservoir Site. As a result of the 1981 investigation, no cultural resources were recorded. The 1981 study concluded that the area had been a working farm for over thirty years. Historic maps and aerial photographs do not reveal any pre-1942 farmsteads or activities on the site, although they do reveal the farm activities mentioned in the 1981 report, occurring on the knoll top by 1944. Although, according to the 1981 study, debris related to farming was found on the site, none of it was determined to be significant. No mitigation was required at that time. The entire site was again surveyed for the current study in September, 1992. No prehistoric or historic resources were located. Sprinkler heads were noted through the property suggesting the possibility of past farming activities. Miscellaneous trash, asphalt and cement chunks and pieces of road gravel were noted primarily along the road. A small, abandoned area, likely the remnants of a worker's camp contJIining trash and a wooden platform, was located in the southwest area. It was determined to be non-significant, and therefore, no mitigation is necessary. SOILS Existing Conditions: A Soil and Geologic Reconnaissance was to prepared by Geocon,Inc. to provide preliminary geotechnical information relative to the development of the proposed subdivision. The Geocon, Inc. study is on file in the City of Chula Vista Planning Departtnent. Two geologic formations and two surficial deposits were encountered during the reconnaissance. The geologic formations consisted of Oligocene-aged Otay Formation and Pliocene-aged San Diego Foundation. The surficial deposits consisted of fill and topsoil. The Oligocene-aged Otay Formation is located near the northern portion of the site. The OtJIy Formation does have contJIct with the younger (overlying) San Diego Formation within the open space area of Open Space Lot "A". The formation generally consists of dense sandstone and claystones. Due to the formation being located only within the open space area it should not be encountered during grading for the proposed development. The San Diego Formation (Tsd) is a dense, tJln/light gray, silty, fme-grained (with some gravel) associated with the San Diego Formation which appears to be the predominant formation underlying C:\NANCY\\DEMICHJS\ Page 5 the site. Excavation within this unit will likely require moderate to heavy efforts with conventional heavy-duty grading equipment. Localized cemented zones, if encountered, may require a very heavy effort. The San Diego Formation should provide suitable foundation engineering characteristics for proposed structures in either an undisturbed or properly compacted condition. Cut slopes and compacted fill slopes constructed at 2: I (horizontal:vertical) or flatter should generally be stJIble. These soils, when used to construct fill slopes, are very susceptible to surficial erosion and should be properly planted to reduce the potential for erosion. Topsoils consisting of silty to slightly clayey, fme sands were observed overlying the formational units and were visually classified as relatively "low" - expansive with observed thicknesses of approximately I to 2 feet (where exposed) and may be as thick as 3 feet in some locations. Due to the generally loose, unconsolidated nature of the topsoil, it should be removed and recompacted prior to placing fill or structural loads. There is a fill slope, on the site, associated with the underground reservoir east of the project site. Where fills are proposed above the existing reservoir ftll soils, these areas may require subsurface investigation (trenches, etc) where structural improvements are considered. Other minor fills were noted on, or adjacent to, the site. These soils will require additional investigation where improvements are proposed. It is anticipated that the above-mentioned fills were derived from soils similar to those previously discussed. No evidence of landslides was found in previous reports or photographs and none were observed on the site. No groundwater or seeps were observed during the reconnaissance. The site is not located on any known active or potentially active fault trace. The Coronado Banks Fault, which is considered to be active, lies approximately 18 miles west of the site. The Rose Canyon Fault is located approximately 8 miles from the site and is the closest active fault to the site. The site is located within the La Nacion Fault zone with the nearest splay approximately 1,600 feet to the west. Regional active faults include the Elsinore Fault and the San Jacinto Fault zones, which 'lie approximately 41 and 62 miles to the northeast, respectively. In an event of a major earthquake on these or other faults in the southern California region, the site could be subjected to moderate to severe ground shaking. With respect to this hazard, this site is comparable to others in the general vicinity. Due to the high density of prevailing formational soils at the site, anticipated remedial grading of the surficial soils, and the lack of a permanent near-surface groundwater tJlble, there does not appear to be a significant risk of seismically induced liquefaction occurring on the property. Mitigation Measures: Conclusion: No significant soil or geologic conditions have been observed or are known to exist which would preclude development of the property. Provided the mitigation recommendations in the Geologic Reconnaissance are adhered to there will be no significant impact related to geology or soils. C:\NANCY\\DEMICH,IS\ Page 6 DRAINAGE/HYDROLOGY Existing Conditions: Due to the topography of the site, drainage is considered to be a potentially significant impact. A Drainage Study was prepared for the site and is on file in the City of Chula VistJI Planning Department. The subject property is dominated by a saddle located in the center portion of the property between two knolls located on the northern and southern extremes of the project. The proposed northern six lots would be developed on the descending ridgeline of the northern knoll. The southern six lots would be located on the northern side of the southern knoll. The central saddle descends to a canyon and natural drainage course to the west. The northern 150 feet of the property is steep in grade and would not be disturbed by the proposed project. Due to the site's location in close proximity to hilltops, very little offsite land (approximately 1.1 acres) contribute to the study area's drainage basins. In a natural condition, only property to the east would naturally drain towards the project. However. the drainage generated offsite to the east of the site is collected in the Sweetwater Authority storm drain system and directed to the northeast away from site. The drainage study area consists of two well-defmed drainage areas. The area to the north of the ridgeline of the northern knoll encompasses approximately 2.1 acres and generates 4.27 cubic feet/second (cfs) of run-off in a l00-year storm. This water exits the project site in an even sheetflow down the steep slope descending to the north of the site. The second existing drainage area encompasses the majority of the project site which is located south of the ridge line of the northern knoll, along with a small area off-site on the slope of the southern knoll and portions of the canyon banks to the west. This basin generates an existing 18.14 cubic feet/second (cfs) of run-off in a 100 year storm which is concentrated offsite into the flowline of the small canyon descending westerly from the central project site area. A portion of the access road abutting the central portion of the site along its eastern boundary is part of the proposed subdivision, however. it has not been included in the Drainage Study since the road is already developed and its drainage is collected in the storm drainage system developed as part of the underground reservoir. No change in this drainage is proposed as part of the proposed project. ProDosed DeveloDed Drainage: The developed drainage analysis is based on proposed site improvements as shown on the tentJItive map for the project Chula VistJI Tract Map No. 91-2 dated March 3, 1993. The drainage basin areas following site development will remain basically the same as in the existing condition (see Figure 1). There would be little change in Drainage Area B. For the three lots proposed on the north side of proposed Street "C", the rearyards would sheet drain to the north and the frontyards would drain south to the street. Though there will be a small increase in Drainage Area B, it will be offset by Page 7 C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ the increased time of concentration due to the shallow slope of the proposed pad. Therefore, although there will be a slight increase in drainage, it does not constitute a significant impact. Figure 1 _ Drainage Basin after Development Drainage Area A will be impacted due to the construction of a surface collection and underground drainage conveyance' system for the proposed development. Some run-off from portions of Area A will be conveyed in a different manner than in the existing condition. Drainage Subareas AI' A2, A" A. and As. will be directed to the underground storm drain system with its outlet in Lot B. Drainage Subareas A. and A7 will be collected at the rear of the graded pads, directed to the rip rap energy dissipators to be located on the north side of these lots, from which they will drain into the western canyon. The Drainage Study concludes that there will be a slightly lower quantity of runoff after development than in the existing condition, due to the drainage improvements that are proposed. This reduction is due to the larger time of concentration caused by the change in landform and increased time for the drainage to be routed in the street curb and gutter system prior to release in the underground storm drains. Erosion/Sedimentation: There is minimal erosion currently from the site due to dense vegetJItion on the canyon slopes and the sheetflow nature of the existing drainage pattern. In the developed condition, all of the drainage subareas of Area A except for As will be concentrated, and thus increasing its erosive possibilities. Drainage Subareas Al through A. and A. and A7 have a totJIl quantity of approximately 9.05 cfs. If this quantity were released directly in a concentrated condition on the canyon sideslopes, the slopes could erode and cause downstream siltJItion. This can be eliminated by extending the storm drains to the flowline of the existing canyon and reducing the outlet velocities. The extension of the storm drains to the flowline along with the proposed instJIllation of rip rap and splashwalls would mitigate the impact of the increased drainage from the proposed development. WATER OUALITY /EROSION: Due to the topography of the site, sedimentJItion could be a significant short- and long-term impact. The long-term impact related to drainage has been addressed in the drainage section above with appropriate mitigation measures recommended. Erosion and sedimentJItion impacts during the grading and construction period would be short-term, especially after storm events, and would be potentially significant. These impacts would occur only if adequate erosion control measures are not applied during and after the earthwork stJIge when disturbed soil is left temporarily unprotected. Long term erosion may occur from exposure of graded land if the area is not adequately landscaped soon after grading. These impacts are also considered to be potentially significant. The applicant will be required to comply with the General National PollutJlnt Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued to San Diego County by the StJlte Water Resources Control Board Page 8 C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ for grading and constrUction activities. Individual projects fall under the General Permit issued to San Diego County by filing a Notice of Intent (NOI), including a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), with the StJlte Water Resources Control Board prior to commencing grading activities. The SWPPP also addresses runoff from the site after constrUction to ensure that the future runoff is in compliance with the NPDES. Implementation of the recommerided mitigation measures will mitigate the impact of sedimentJItion to less than significant. E. Mitigation necessarv to avoid significant effects Specific project mitigation measures are required to reduce potentially significant environmentJIl impacts identified in the initial study for this project to a level below significant. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project design and have been made conditions of project approval, as well as requirements of the attached Mitigation Monitoring Program (Attachment "A"). BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Two dedicated open spaces are recommended, and have been incorporated into the tentJItive map, which will include 1.2 acres of the higher quality Diegan Sage Scrub on-site in Area A, and protect habitJIt for both the CoastJIl Cactus Wren and the California Gnatcatcher. The California Adolphia will also be protected within these areas. The western open space (Area B) is 1.5 acres and is contiguous with high quality cactus wren and gnatcatcher habitJIt off- site to the west. It also links the revegetated lands of the reservoir with this sage scrub- dominated habitat (separated only by the existing paved road). Lot A covers a steep north- facing slope with grassland habitJIt. Specific mitigation measures to avoid specific significant biological impacts are as follows: 1. No clearance of vegetation or other forms of habitJIt and soil disturbance shall occur within the dedicated open space areas (Lots A and B), with the exception of the constrUction of the sewage pipes and storm drainage pipe. In such case, disturbance shall be at the minimum required to accommodate constrUction. 2. 0.3 acre of disturbed grassland Diegan Sage Scrub in Lot B shall be revegetJIted in accordance with the recommendations in the Pacific Southwest Biological Services Assessment for the project dated September 4, 1992. Artemisia californica, Encelia californica, Eriogonumfasciculatum, Diplacus puniceus, and Salvia mellifera should be the principal shrubby components of this revegetJItion. A three-year monitoring plan shall be implemented to ensure the successful estJIblishment of this scrub. The 0.3 acre constitutes the entire area within Area B mapped as grassland. 3. Prior to consideration of any final subdivision or parcel map, issuance of a grading permit, or issuance of a building permit for any portion of the project site, proof of an incidentJIl take permit under Section 7, Section lOa of the Endangered Species Act or any other form of approval by the US Fish & Wildlife Service, relative to the California Gnatcatcher or CoastJIl Sage Scrub, shall be provided to the EnvironmentJIl C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.lS\ Page 9 Review Section of the Planning Department. If such permit is not required, written verification to that effect from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall be provided. Any project redesign required in obtJIining a Section 7 or lOa permit may require reconsideration by the appropriate City decisionmaking body. CULTURAL RESOURCES No significant impacts were identified, therefore, no mitigation is necessary. SOILS 4. All recommendations of the Soil and Geologic Reconnaissance prepared for the BonitJI Hills Executive EstJItes by Geocon Incorporated, dated December, 1992, shall be adhered to. 5. A 20- to 30-foot high near vertical slope within the central drainage at the western boundary may experience additional erosion. Consideration should be given in the design process for future slope relation within the immediate area. 6. All future geotechnical subsurface investigation for the site should include review of the fill compaction report for the underground water reservoir at the eastern boundary. 7. The topsoils overlying the formational units will require remedial grading in the form of removal and recompaction in areas of proposed improvement. A subsurface investigation and laboratory testing will be required to determine actual depths of removals. 8. Existing fills in areas of proposed improvement should be evaluated during future investigations. 9. Excavations within the on-site soils should generally be possible with moderate to heavy efforts with conventional heavy-duty grading equipment. Localized cemented zone, if encountered, may require a very heavy effort. 10. Deleterious materials encountered during grading, such as tree roots, should be excavated and disposed of off site. 11. Cut and fill slopes planned at inclinations of 2: 1 (horizontJIl:vertical) or flatter with maximum heights of 13 feet should generally be stable against deep-seated failure. 12. Cut and fill slopes will be provided with an erosion-resistJlnt ground cover and an adequately designed and maintJIined irrigation system as soon as practical to reduce the erosion potential. Constructed slopes should be designed with appropriate drainage systems; water will not be allowed to discharge over the top of slopes. C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ Page to 13. In general, the prevailing soil conditions in either a dense undisturbed or properly compacted condition are suitJIble for the support of conventional isolated and continuous spread footings. It is anticipated that "very low" expansive soils will be encountered or will be placed as fIll in the areas influencing future foundations. Foundation design, including an allowable soil bearing pressure and estimated settlements, should be incorporated within future geotechnical studies. 14. Prior to the fmalization of the grading and improvement plans, a detJIiled soil and geologic investigation addressing the proposed development shall be performed. DRAINAGE/HYDROLOGY 15. All drainage improvements shown on Tentative Map 91-2 dated March 2, 1993, including rip rap velocity dissipators at outlet locations on the banks of the existing slopes, shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. 16. Storm drains shall be extended to the flow line of the canyon. Outlets and energy dissipators shall be designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. WATER OUALITY/EROSION: 17. The developer shall prepare an erosion and sedimentJItion control plan, in compliance with the NPDES permit issued to San Diego County, for the proposed development to address the impacts of short-term construction and grading activity. Said plan shall be incorporated into the project's grading and construction plans and shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to issuance of grading permits. IS. The project shall comply with the provisions of the StJlte Water Resources Control Board (StJlte Water Board) Order Number 92-0S-DWQ, National PollutJInt Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit Number CAS 000002, Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRS) for Discharges of Storm Water Runoff Associated with Construction Activity including the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. 19. All graded slopes shall be properly planted to reduce the potential for erosion. Landscape plans shall be subject to approval of the Planning Director prior to issuance of grading permits.

Comments: As described below, the proposed project does not adversely impact any of the seven Threshold Standards. A. Fire/EMS The Threshold StJlndards requires that fire and medical units must be able to respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85 % of the cases and within 5 minutes or less in 75 % of the cases. The City of Chula VistJI has indicated that this threshold stJlndard will be met, since the nearest fire stJItion is 3 1/2 miles away and would be associated with a 6 minute response time. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. B. Police The Threshold StJlndards require that police units must respond to 84 % of Priority I calls within 7 minutes or less and maintJIin an average response time to all Priority Page 20 C,INANCYIIDEMICH.ISI 1 calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to 62.10% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. C. Traffic The Threshold StJlndards require that all intersections must operate at a Level of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS) "D" may occur during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections. Intersections west of 1-805 are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS. No intersection may reach LOS "E'" or "F" during the average weekday peak hour. Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this StJlndard. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. East "H" Street is currently over capacity. However, implementation of this project will not significantly impact existing conditions since only 130 average daily trips will be generated from the proposed subdivision. D. Parks/Recreation The Threshold StJlndard for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres/l,OOO population. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. E. Drainage The Threshold StJlndards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed City Engineering StJlndards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Engineering StJlndards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. A drainage study was prepared for the proposed project which is discussed in detJIil in the "Drainage" section of the Initial Study/Negative Declaration. F. Sewer The Threshold StJlndards require that sewage flows and volumes not exceed City Engineering StJlndards. Individual projects will provide necessary improvements consistent with Sewer Master Plan(s) and City Engineering StJlndards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold StJlndard. The project site is proposed to be annexed from the County of San Diego to the City of Chula YistJI. The City Engineer will require sewer service to be approved by the County of San Diego as a condition on the subdivision map. Agreements will be required to be entered into with the County by the Applicant/City for perpetual provision of sewer service and easements to the subdivision as a condition of approval on the tentative map. C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ Page 21 G. Water The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and transmission facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that water quality stJIndards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard. Applicants may also be required to participate in whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the City of Chula VistJI has in effect at the time of building permit issuance. 17. Human Health. Will the proposal result in: YES MAYBE NO a. Creation of any health hazard or potential health hazard (excluding mental health? o o . b. Exposure of people to potential health hazards? o o . Comments: The proposed subdivision would not have an adverse impact on human health or safety. No hazardous or unsafe conditions are associated with the project. 18. Aesthetics. Will the proposal result in: YES MAYBE NO a. The obstruction of any scenic vistJI or view open to the public, or will the proposal result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to public view? 0 o . b. The destruction, or modification of a scenic route? 0 o . Comments: There are no scenic highways in the vicinity of the site that will be affected by the future development of homes on the site. 19. Recreation. Will the proposal result in an impact upon the quality or quantity of existing recreational opportunities? YES MAYBE NO o 0 . Comments: No recreational facilities will be directly impacted by the proposed project. Less than fifty new residential units would be developed and therefore, no additional parkland dedication is required in accordance with City thresholds. Park fees will be required at the time building permits are issued in accordance with City ordinances. C: \NANCY\ \DEMICH .1S\ Page 22 20. Cultural Resources. YES MAYBE NO a. Will the proposal result in the alteration of or the destruction or a prehistoric or historic archaeological site? 0 . 0 b. Will the proposal result in adverse physical or aesthetic effects to a prehistoric or historic building, structure, or object? 0 . . c. Does the proposal have the potential to cause a physical change which would affect unique ethnic cultural values? 0 . 0 d. Will the proposal restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the potential impact area? 0 0 . e. Is the area identified on the City's General Plan EIR as an area of high potential for archeological resources? 0 0 . Comments: A Cultural Resources analysis has been prepared for the project and is discussed in detJIil in the Negative Declaration/Initial Study. No significant historic or pre-historic sites were located on the property. 21. Paleontological Resources. Will the proposal result in the YES MAYBE NO alteration of or the destruction of paleontological resources? 0 0 . Comments: There is no evidence of paleontological resources on the project site. 22. Mandatory Findings of Significance. YES MAYBE NO a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substJlntially reduce the habitJIt of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self SUStJIining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant animal or eliminate importJlnt examples or the major periods of California history or prehistory? 0 0 . C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.lS\ Page 23 Comments: Mitigation measures have been identified to reduce the impact to the Gnatcatcher and Diegan Sage Scrub on the site to a level of less than significant. Open Space areas have been included in the design of the tentative map and approval of the project by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be required as a condition of approval of the Tentative Map. b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term goals to the disadvantJIge of long- term, environmentJIl goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, defInitive period of time, while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) . o o Comments: All significant impacts related to the site have been mitigated to below a level of signifIcance. The proposed subdivision does not propose long-term risks to health and safety. The proposed project does not have any interim use of the site while awaiting ultimate development. c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) . o o Comments: There are no significant cumulative impacts associated with the project. d. Does the project have environmentJIl effects which will cause substJIntial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? o . o Comments: All significant impacts have been mitigated to a level of less than significant.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN OF THE AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT FINDINGS SUPPORTING ISSUANCE OF THE PERMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 17.30.053(D) OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE. FINDINGS PER SECTION 17.30.054(D) OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA MUNICIPAL CODE One and one-half acres of Diegan Sage Scrub will be permanently eliminated by site grading and development. Two dedicated open spaces are recommended for retention and have been incorporated into the tentative map, (see attJIched biology report) which will include 1.2 acres of the higher quality Diegan Sage Scrub on site in Open Space Lot "A", and protect habitat for both the Coastal Cactus Wren and the California Gnatcatcher. The California Adolphia will also be protected within these areas. The western open space on site area (Open Space Lot "B") is 1.5 acres and is contiguous with high quality cactus wren and gnatcatcher habitat off-site to the west. It also links the revegetated lands of the reservoir with this sage scrub-dominated habitat (separated only by the existing paved road.) The following [mdings have been made based on the information contained in the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Report Program (MMRP) for Bonita Hills Executive Estates on September 1, 1994. Findings: 1. The habitat loss, as proposed for issuance under the 4( d) Loss Permit, is consistent with the "interim loss criteria" in the November, 1993 State Natural Community Conservation Program (NCCP) Conservation Guidelines (as specified in items a. through d. below) and, if a subregional interim take process is established in a form approved by the City of Chula Vista at the time of the issuance of the Loss Permit, consistent with such approved subregional interim loss process. 4( d) Loss Permit Draft Findings Bonita Hills Executive Estates Page 1 a. The habitat loss, under the Loss Permit as proposed by the Director for issuance, will not on the date of issuance, when considered cumulatively with all other loss of CSS occurring since March 21, 1993, exceed 5% by acreage of the then existing CSS within the region. The regional CSS loss acreages are as follows:' San Diego Region initial allowable CSS loss Cumulative Regional CSS loss since March 21, 1993 Additional Chula Vista Loss (CS-95-01) Total Loss Remaining allowable CSS loss Loss allowed by this permit Remaining allowable regional CSS loss 11,371.9 ac. 0.8 ac. 256.0 ac. 256.8 ac. 11,115.1 ac. 1.5 ac. 11,113.6 ac. The NCCP Conservation Guidelines have indicated that a 5% loss of CSS is acceptable during the preparation of a NCCP or its equivalent (i.e. MSCP Plan). The proposed habitat loss does not cumulatively exceed the 5% guidelines. The loss of 1. 5 acres of CSS combined with current losses of sage scrub within the San Diego Region do not exceed 5 % of the existing sage scrub habitat. b. The proposed Project is bordered to the north, and south by residential development, at the eastern and also at the southern portions by water storage facilities and a partially improved road at the northwest boundary. Moon View Drive borders the property at the southeastern corner, and undeveloped land is located west of the property. The habitat being impacted is of a degraded quality. The highest quality coastal sage is being preserved on-site. The target species do occur on the portion of the site which is not proposed for development. The project area is not dense DCSS and is not in close proximity to a Higher Value DCSS, or part of a critical corridor. The Project site is already isolated by existing development and will become further isolated by future development. c. The habitJIt loss, under the Loss Permit as proposed by the Director for issuance, will not preclude or prevent the preparation of the subregional NCCP. The site is not a crucial habitat link, but is rather at the periphery of already approved or constructed development. The Core Biological Resource Areas (see the City of San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Program, 1994) which is still being fInalized are located well south of the project along the Otay River Valley. This site is not considered a high priority preservation area because of the existing adjacent development which result in high edge effect (i.e., intrusion by humans, pets, weedy plant species) and habitat fragmentation or part of a 1 These CSS loss acreages will be reconfirmed with SANDAG prior to the finalizauon of this loss permit. 4(d) Loss Permit Draft Findings Bonita Hills Executive Estates Page 2 significant wildlife corridor. For these reasons, the site is not considered important in the preparation of the City of Chula Vista's open space planning efforts or NCCP planning efforts. d. The habitJIt loss, under the Loss Permit as proposed by the Director for issuance, has been minimized and mitigated in accordance with Section 4.3 ("Interim Mitigation") of the " Southern California Coastal Sage Scrub Natural Communities Conservation Planning Process Guidelines," dated 11/5/93, and thereafter, to the maximum extent practicable. Two dedicated biological open spaces are recommended which will include 1.2 acres of the higher quality Diegan Sage Scrub on-site in Open Space Lot "B", and protect habitJIt for both the Coastal Cactus Wren and the California Gnatcatcher (see Attachment 2). The California Adolphia will also be protected within these areas. This western open space is 1.5 acres and is contiguous with high quality cactus wren and gnatcatcher habitat off-site to the west. It also links the revegetated lands of the reservoir with this sage scrub-dominated habitat (separated only by the existing paved road.) In addition the following on-site and off-site mitigation measures are proposed: . No clearance of vegetation or other forms of habitat and soil disturbance shall occur within the dedicated open space areas (Lots A and B), with the exception of the construction of the sewage pipes and storm drainage pipe. In such case, disturbance shall be at the minimum required to accommodate construction. . 0.3 acre of disturbed grassland Diegan Sage Scrub in Lot B shall be revegetated in accordance with the recommendations in the Pacific Southwest Biological Services Assessment for the project dated September 4, 1992. Artemisia californica, Encelia califonica, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Diplacus puniceus and Salvia melIifera should be the principal shrubby components of this re-vegetation. A five-year monitoring plan shall be implemented to ensure the successful establishment of this scrub. The 0.3 acre constitutes the entire area within Area B mapped as grassland. Open Space Lots "A" and "B" will be maintained in a natural state by the homeowners association in perpetuity. . The Sweetwater tank parcel located immediately to the south will also be revegetJIted as part of this project. 2. The habitat loss will not appreciably reduce the likelihood of the survival and recovery of the Coastal California Gnatcatcher (Potiaptila Californica Californica). 4(d) Loss Permit Draft Findings Bonita Hills Executive Estates Page 3 As is noted in Finding Number One above, the area of habitJIt loss meets the "interim loss criteria" in the November 1993 State Natural Community Conservation Program (NCCP) Conservation Guidelines. Therefore, the project site does not have high habitat potential for a long-term conservation area. On -site mitigation through the preservation of higher value habitat will increase the likelihood of the long-term success of regional open space planning efforts. Due to these reasons, the proposed habitat loss would not appreciably reduce the survival or recovery of any listed species, including the gnatcatcher. 3. The habitat loss is incidental to otherwise lawful activities. The project is completing CEQA review simultaneously and will meet all local, State, and Federal requirements. 4. Proposed mitigation is consistent with NCCP Process Guidelines requirements. The NCCP Process Guidelines identify several options for mitigating impacts to CSS. These options include acquisition of habitat, dedication of land, management agreements, restoration, etc. The dedication and long-term preservation of 2.7 acres on-site through a mitigation monitoring program consistent with the NCCP Process Guidelines. In accordance with the provisions of Section 17.30.054(F) of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the USFWS in consultation with the CDFG, are requested to review the Draft 4(d) Loss Permit and Draft Findings for consistency with the NCCP Conservation Guidelines and submit comments to the City of Chula Vista Director of Planning within thirty days of the date of this notice. Further, in accordance with Section 17.30.054(F) of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is requested to verify that the proposed 4(d) Loss Permit does not exceed the maximum permitted habitat loss for the subregion and notify the Director of Planning for the City of Chula Vista, within fifteen days of the date of notice, of that verification.

The legislation requires public agencies to ensure that adequate mitigation measures are implemented and monitored on Mitigated Negative Declarations, such as IS 91-15. AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and/or significant environmentJIl impacts. The mitigation monitoring program for this project ensures adequate implementJItion of mitigation for the following potentially significant impacts: biological resources, soils, drainage/hydrology, and water quality/erosion. Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinator (MCC), shall be the EnvironmentJIl Review Coordinator (ERC) for the City of Chula Vista. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation Monitoring Program are met to the satisfaction of the ERC. Compliance with the mitigation measures specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration 91-15 shall be provided to the ERC prior to the issuance of any permits by the City of Chula VistJI. The ERC will thus provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have been accomplished. C:\NANCY\\DEMICH.IS\ Page 32
