ITEM TITLE:

DISCUSSION:
On December 13, 2006, 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 10lUniversity area within Otay Ranch, which was deferred for a period
of 120 days. This area was once again deferred for 120 days on April II, 2006.
The deferral was 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. Staff is working closely with the affected property
owners on remaining outstanding issues that need to be resolved in order to develop a
refined draft land plan for Planning Commission and City Council review. We anticipate
being able to resolve these issues within 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 ofOtay Ranch.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
FISCAL IMP ACT: There is no direct fiscal impact from approving this resolution.
