the responsibility of the Preserve OwnerlManager (pOM). POM expenses will be funded by revenue

developments and by a direct contribution by the SPA I developer.
Sincc actual conveyance ofIand is not anticipated for at least three years, any current staff
participation will be provided through existing budgeted resources. Additional staffing requirements
will be detennined as development and conveyance occurs in Otay Ranch and will be funded by
revenue from the District.
CostS associated with formation of the Habitat Maintenancc Asscssmcnt District arc unknown at t1'.;5

to withdraw from the lEPA ifneccssary.
Thcre will be no direct or indirect costs to the County for adoption of the Otay Ranch Overall Des!:;"
Plan
RECOMMENDA nON
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:
I. find that there arc no changes in the project or in thc circumstances under which illS undenakc"
which involve significant new environmental impacts which were not considered in the previousl','
certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR), dated December 1992, and that no new inform:n!cr.

Item: 6.1.2
Meeting Date: April 24. 1996
6. PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 95-01; SPA One
ISSUE: Should an in lieu fee process be addcd to the Phase 2 Resource Management Plan?
BACKGROUND: The Otay Ranch General Development Plan requires that the Phase 2 Resource Management
Plan (RMP) be jointly approved by San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista. Prior to approval of the first
SPA, the County must specifically approve the Conveyance Plan, the Preserve O\\ller/Manager selection and the
Preserve Financing Plan.
DISCUSSION: The need for an in-lieu fee as an alternative to a land-based conveyance plan was discussed at the
March 5, 1996 Board of Supervisors meeting. It was noted that the majority of property O\mers had adequate
mitigation land to convey to the preserve, while others did not. The lack of conveyance land could place an undue
burden upon any property owner and/or any future owners in a similar situation. While the actual amount of the in.
lieu fee has not yet been detennined, the language providing for establislmlent of the fee has been added to the
Phase 2 RMP as noted on the attached errata sheet. The County Board of Supervisors modified thc Phasc 2 RMP
on March 5, 1996 by adding language which would establish an in-lieu fee as an alternativc to a land-based
conveyance program
In addition to this concern, the Planning ConU11ission, at their hearing of March 27, 1996, requested that language
be added to the Phase 2 RMP which would require an agreement between the City and thc applicant allowing the
Prescrve O\\llcr/Manager to purchase mitigation land at an amount cqual to the in.lieu fee established.
Staff is continuing to conduct research on the specific rcquirements ofthe fee.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The applicant is in support of establishing an in-lieu fec process.
OTHER POSITIONS: West Coast Land Fund is in support of establishing an in.lieu fcc process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the concept of an in-licu fee. Thc errata shect for the Phase 2 will be
brought bcforc the Commission on May L 1996.

6. PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 95-01; SPA One
ISSUE: Should land be conveycd to the Preserve Owner/Manager (POM) at the final map stage?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Otay Raneh General Development Plan requires that portions of the Phase
2 Resource Management Plan (RMP) be jointly approved by San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista. Prior
to approval of the first SPA, the County must specifically approve the Conveyance Plan.
At its March 6, 1996 meeting, the County Board of Supervisors specifically discussed the issue of thc actual timing
of the land to be conveyed. It was noted that the Phase I RMP proposed conveyance at the final map stage, while
the proposed Phase 2 RMP recommended that "50% of a villages' obligation to convey land occurs when the
village is 50% developed; the remaining 50% of the land is conveyed upon 90% completion of the village."
Development, in this instance, has been defined as recordation of the final map. There was also a concern as to the
interpretation of this requirement and the ability to ensure that the land would be conveyed free and clear of all
encumbrances. The Board of Supervisors modified the Phase 2 RMP to require conveyance of open space in fee
title, free and elear of all encumbrances, to the POM at recordation ofthe first and each subsequent final map.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The applieant is not opposed to conveyance at final map.
OTHER POSITIONS: Grcg Smith has indicated that conveyance of open spaee should not be tied to village
dcvelopment but to order of development. The priority of conveyance is established in the Phase I RMP and GDP
as Salt Creek, thc Otay Mesa vemal pools and the Otay River Valley. Mr. Smith believes the conveyance of these
areas should be required by the Phase 2 RMP as the Otay Ranch develops regardless of which village is developing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Amend the Phase 2 RMP to require conveyance of land at the final map and
require conveyance priority of Salt Creek, the vernal pools and the Otay River Valley.
AL TERNA TIVES: Do not amend the Phase 2 RMP.
RELATED ISSUES: See Item 6.1.1 (JEPA), 6.1.2 (In-lieu fee process). 6.1.4 (Methodology) and 6.1.5

6. PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 95-01; SPA One
ISSUE: Should the methodology for calculating the amount of land convcyed to thc Otay Ranch Open
Space Preserve be based on developable acreage?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The mcthodology for determining the amount of land to be convcyed
to thc Preservc Owncr/Manager was discussed at the March 6, 1996 Board of Supervisor's meeting. Staff
has analyzed alternative conveyance mcthods based on dwelling units under thc City's GDP and thc
County's SRP; equivalent dwelling units under both plans; and sensitive habitat. Each alternative has its
own advantages and disadvantages and cffccts each villagc and property owner differently. Staff believes
thc most equitable mcthod for requiring conveyancc is based on developable acreagc because this method
distributes thc conveyance requiremcnt evenly throughout the Otay Ranch. At their March 6, 1996 meeting,
thc County Board of Supervisors selccted developable acrcs as the conveyance method.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The project applicant proposes that preserve land be conveyed bascd on
developable acres as indicated in the Phase 2 Resourcc management Plan.
OTHER POSITIONS: Greg Smith has proposed the conveyance be based on dwclling units. West Coast
Land Fund has indicated that, if they take ownership of thcir portion of the Otay Ranch, they do not havc
conveyance land. Staff has proposed an in-lieu fee program to address this issue.
The City Attorney's office is concerned with the multiple property ownership and the conveyance plan.
This relationship is under review by their office.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Continue the conveyance methodology issue to May I, 1996 for further
review of the multiplc property ownership. Staff currently recommends conveyanccs based on developable
acres.

PC424J-4.DOC
Otay Ranch
Resource Management Plan
Comparison of Conveyance Plan Alternatives
Conveyance by Dwelling Units
Two alternatives have been prepared to analyze conveyance of the open space preserve
acreage by dwelling unit. The major difference between the City General Development
Plan (GDP) and the County Subregional Plan (SRP) is the land use plan for Village Three.
The GDP designates Village Three as Industrial while the County plan indicates a
residential village.
City GDP
This alternative assigns conveyance responsibility based on residential units. No
responsibility is assigned to non-residential land uses. The villages with high number of
dwelling units, such as Villages I and 5, have a greater conveyance responsibility as does
the Eastern Urban Center due to the 2,500 units allowed in that planning area. The Resort
Site also has a high conveyance requirement due to the 2438 units associated with that
village. The industrial uses in Village 3 and Planning Areas 18-A and B are not assessed
under this alternative nor is the university in Villages 9 and 10. The rural villages with
fewer units do not have the conveyance requirement ofthe urban and transit villages under
this alternative. Village I is required to convey 1,610 acres as opposed to Village 15 with
250 acres.
County SRP
The only difference between these first two alternatives is the residential units in Village
Three under the County's plan. Under the County's SRP, 741 additional units are added
to the Plan, so the conveyance for each village is slightly less. The university and the
industrial planning areas are not assessed under this alternative.
Conveyance by Equivalent Dwelling Units
These alternatives allocate conveyance of preserve acres by equivalent dwelling units in
order to assign a conveyance responsibility to these non-residential uses. Conversion to
equivalent dwelling units allows the non-residential uses to be assigned a conveyance
responsibility under the dwelling unit alternatives. In the formation of open space
maintenance districts, the City of Chula Vista assesses non-residential land on an
equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) per acre factor. All residential units equate to I EDU. The
Community Purpose Facilities factor is 4 EDUs per acre, commercial 30 EDUs per acre
and 40 EDUs for industrial uses.
CNVYPLN3.DOC
Otay Ranch
Conveyance Plan Alternatives
City GDP by Equivalent Dwelling Units
Under this alternative, all the land uses in the City of Chula Vista's GDP have been
assigned a conveyance responsibility. The industrial uses in Village 3 and Planning Areas
18-A and B have a conveyance responsibility as does the university in Villages 9 and 10.
In addition to the residential units in the Resort Site and the Eastern Urban Center the
,
commercial uses have also been assigned EDUs for a conveyance requirement. The total
number of ED Us is substantially higher than the residential alternatives so the conveyance
responsibilities are less for the residential villages.
County SRP by Equivalent Dwelling Units
The County SRP produces fewer equivalent dwelling units due to the residential units in
Village 3 as opposed to the industrial EDUs in the City GDP. The SRP produces 913
EDUs as opposed to 7,114 EDUs in the GDP. The developer of Village 3 would convey
180 acres under the County plan and 1,267 acres under the City Plan.
Conveyance by Sensitive Lands
The Sensitive Land alternative is based on the amount of sensitive habitat contained in
each village. Under this alternative, villages with no sensitive habitat would not have a
conveyance requirement. Villages with habitat are assigned a conveyance responsibility
based on the amount of habitat in each village. In this case Villages 5, 6, 7 and 12 are not
required to convey land to the preserve because there is no sensitive habitat located in
these villages due to the agricultural operation. Villages 16 and 17 have the majority of
the conveyance requirement due to significant areas of habitat in these rural villages.
Village 14 in Proctor Valley has less of a conveyance requirement (77 4 acres) under this
alternative than under the RMP developable acres alternative at 960 acres or the City GDP
and County SRP alternatives at 830 and 804 acres, respectively.
In Lieu Fee
One of the property owners has suggested that, in cases where conveyance of land may
not be feasible, an in lieu fee may be appropriate. These acreages of the alternatives have
been applied to the per acre cost of $4,600. This is the cost per acre of comparable that
was recently purchased for the wildlife preserve. The 11,375 acre preserve would cost
$52,325,000 if purchased. Under the fee alternative, cost for RMP developable acres
conveyance would range from $1.6 million for Village 18 to $4.7 million for Village 1.
Under the City GDP alternative, conveyance cost range from $660,000 for Village 17 to
$7.4 million for Village 1. Because there are no dwelling units assigned to the industrial,
commercial and university uses, there are no costs as well. Village 3, 9, 10 and Planning
Area 18-A and B would not have any conveyance cost or fees. Cost are similar for the
County SRP alternative except for Village 3 residential uses, which would assume a $1. 3
million fee.
CNVYPLN3.DOC

February 19. 1996
Otay Ranch
Conveyance Plan Alternatives
Conveyance by equivalent dwelling unit spreads the cost more evenly through the villages
with fees running from $243,000 in Village 17 to $8.4 million in Planning Area 12, the
EUC. Because the EUC and the Resort Site have both residential units and commercial
uses, their responsibility under the ED U alternatives is greater than the other villages at
$8.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively. Major differences between the City GDP and
County SRP EDU alternatives are in Village 3 with the City industrial cost at $5.8 million
and the County residential village at $828,000.
Preserve Conveyance Analysis by Village
Village 3
Village 3 is required to convey 373 acres under the developable acres proposal in the
Phase 2 RMP. Under the residential unit alternative, there would be no conveyance
requirement under the City's GDP and a 348 acre requirement under the SRP. The City
GDP industrial EDUs alternative requires 1,267 acres, over 10% of the preserve The
County plan by EDUs only requires 180 acres from Village 3. Because Village 3 does not
have habitat or steep slopes, conveyance requirements are minor in comparison with 114
acres under sensitive lands alternative.
Costs for conveyance by in lieu fee have a large difference in the alternatives for Village 3
due to the difference in land use between the City and County plan. Under the RMP
developable acres alternative, Village 3 would have a $1. 7 million responsibility, no cost at
all under the City GDP by residential unit alternative and a $5.8 million under the City
GDP EDU alternative.
Village 5
Village 5 is representative of the transit villages and conveyance requirements have a large
range due the number of dwelling units and lack of habitat. Under the RMP developable
acres alternative, 555 acres are required of Village 5. The City and County residential
dwelling unit alternatives are the greatest at 1,394 and 1,351 acres while the EDU
alternatives are 552 and 612, respectively. Since Village 5 does not contain any sensitive
habitat, there is no conveyance requirement under this alternative.
In lieu fee costs are similar with the City GDP and County SRP residential unit alternatives
having the greatest cost at $6.2 million The RMP and City EDU alternatives are similar at
$2.5 because there is only a 2-acre difference in the conveyance requirement. The County
EDU alternative cost is $2.8 million because the SRP does not contain as much industrial
land as the City GDP.
Village 13
The Resort Site has the least conveyance requirement of all the alternatives under the
proposed RMP developable acres at 914 acres. The other alternatives have a greater
CNVYPLN3DOC
Page 3
February 19, 1996
Otay Ranch
Conveyance Plan Alternatives
requirement due to the residential density and commercial intensity of the Resort. The City
GDP and County SRP residential alternatives require over 1, I 00 acres each due to the
density of the residential units. The equivalent dwelling unit alternatives require even more
due the commercial uses in the resort. The City GDP EDU alternative requires 1772 acres
and the County SRP EDU alternative requires 1,962 acres to be conveyed.
In lieu fee are again similar, with the smallest cost associated with RMP developable land
alternative costing $4.2 million for the entire village and County SRP EDU the greatest
costing $9 million.
Village 14
The Proctor Valley Village has the greatest conveyance responsibility under the RMP
developable lands alternative at 960 acres and the least under the City GDP EDU
alternative at 326 acres. The Sensitive Lands alternative has a lesser conveyance
requirement (77 4 acres) than the RMP alternative because of the lack of habitat in this
village. Conveyance by dwelling unit will have a lesser requirement at approximately 800
acres for the two alternatives due to the relative low density of the village. The EDU
alternatives have even less due to lack of commercial uses in this village.
The in lieu fee cost are greatest with the RMP alternative at $4.4 million as opposed to the
least under the City GDP EDU alternative at $1.5 million. It would seem that conveying
by dwelling units would place less of a burden on this village and thereby encourage the
development of the village sooner.
Village 15
Village 15 conveys the least to the preserve under the dwelling unit alternatives and the
greatest under the sensitive lands alternative. The City GDP equivalent dwelling unit
alternatives produces the least demand with only III acres as opposed to the sensitive
habitat alternative that requires 1,172 acres to be conveyed. This range is due the large
lot, low density development allowed in Village 15 and the large amount of habitat in the
village. There are only 516 dwelling units in Village 15 compared to 500 acres of
sensitive habitat.
The in lieu fee costs are highest under the RMP developable acres alternative at $4.3
million because of the large lot development allowed in this village. When the fee is based
on dwelling units the costs are $1.1 million for the City and County GDP/SRP
alternatives. When the fees are spread by EDUs, the costs drop to just over a half of a
million dollars for each alternative.

Meeting Date: April 24. 1996
6. PUBLIC HEARING: PCM 95-01; SPA One
ISSUE: Should a maintenance program be established for the interim maintenance of the conveyed open
space lands?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Thc Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDP) requires that the
Phase 2 Resource Management Plan (RMP) identify a funding source for the open space habitat preserve
prior to the adoption of the first SPA. In addition, the County of San Diego must approve the funding plan
prior to the adoption of the first SPA.
As indicated in the conveyance at final map issue papcr, the Board of Supervisors determined at thcir
March 6, 1996 meeting that conveyance should be requircd at final map. County staff expresscd conccrns
on their ability to maintain the first 600 acres of conveyance from SPA One while the Habitat Maintenance
District (HMO) was being funded. As indicated in the Habitat Maintenance District issue paper, this
district is funded by a parcel assessment after final map recordation. In the intcrim pcriod between the
conveyance of open spacc at final map and assessment of sufficient funds to maintain the preserve, County
staff proposed that thc project applicant maintain the open space. Under the County's approval of the
Phase 2 RMP, the project applicant win be required to cntcr into an agreement to maintain the prcscrve
open spacc until sufficient funding has been conected by the County to maintain the habitat.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: The project applicant is not opposed to the maintenancc agreement or
requircmcnt.
OTHER POSITIONS: Grcg Smith believes the HMD win not fund the cducational rcquirements of thc
Phase 1 RMP. The County and City staff have previously reported that, according to State law, the HMO
can only fund habitat maintenance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Amend the Phase 2 RMP to require a maintenance agreement rcquiring
the projcct applicant to maintain conveyed open spacc lands until sufficient funding is available to thc
County of San Dicgo. Idcntify additional funding sourccs for cducational programs.
AL TERN A TlVES: Do not amend the Phase 2 RMP and leave thc maintenancc rcsponsibility with the
Prcscrve O\\l1er Managcr at final map conveyance.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Since the submittal of the SPA One Plan, it has undergone
substantial review by staff and several iterations have been developed and reproduced in the
process. This last sencs of modifications, which arc noted on the attached errata sheets, arc
essentially minor in nature and serve to correct typographical and grammatical errors in the
