ITEM TITLE:

DISCUSSION:
On December 13, 2005, the City Council approved with one exception the City's
Comprehensive General Plan Update. The exception was that area which is comprised of
Villages 8,9, and 10/University area within Otay Ranch, which was deferred for a period
of 120 days. This area was deferred twice more. The current deferral will expire on
November 22, 2006.
The deferrals have been intended to provide sufficient time to explore with major owners
the feasibility of the potential land use changes with regard to sound planning principles
and to evaluate consistency with the goals and objectives of the General Plan Update.
Refined potential land use plans, better enable the City to attain its goals of viable
university and technology park sites. To this end staff has worked closely with the
affected property owners on remaining outstanding issues that need to be resolved in
order to develop a refined draft land plan that is workable for all parties involved. Staff
has clearly articulated the needs of the City. The two landowners are now working
together with professional consultant assistance in order to reach agreement on a land
plan that is mutually agreeable. If they are successful, their draft land plan will be
presented to City stafffor review and analysis.
Staff is again recommending a deferral period of 120 days.
Any proposed draft land use plan( s), generated through this process, would be reviewed
by the Planning Commission and City Council at Public Hearings through the General
Plan Update/General Development Plan process.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the draft resolution extending for
an additional 120 days the deferral for the area comprised as Villages 8,9, and
10/University of Otay Ranch.
