Harold D. West, Et Al
PROJECT APPLICANT:
CAse NO.
1S-82-15
DATE: November 12, 1981
A. Project Setting
The project involves approximately 5 acres of property along the easterly slope
of a canyon between the northerly extension of Las Flores Drive and Minot Avenue.
The site currently contains a few accessory structures (stables, sheds, etc.) which
are utilized by properties fronting on Minot Avenue. Adjacent land uses consist
of single family dwellings located to the east, vacant land to the west, vacant
land to the north, and single family dwellings to the south.
The subject property has an average natural slope of 16.79% and
28%. Runoff from Minot Avenue drains down the canyon slopes to
canyon and proceeds north to the Sweetwater River flood plain.
(35 ft. elevation and below) of the site are currently within

However, elevations
the 100 year flood
The site is covered with native vegetation and most likely supports wildlife
prevalent in open canyon areas with limited human access. Several large California
Pepper Trees are located on the project site. There are no known geologic hazards
within the project vicinity, however, cohesionless and compressible soils are present.
B. Project Description
The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into 16 vacant parcels
and 6 parcels containing existing single family dwellings. All vacant parcels will
obtain access from Las Flores Drive and existing parcels front on Minot Avenue. All
proposed residential building pads are located above the 100-year flood plain, those
pads less than 1 foot above have been designated as garage pads for development.
To provide access to the site, Las Flores Drive will be improved south to its inter-
section with' 0' Street. The proposed Las Flores Drive improvements consist of the
dedication of 26' of right-of-way on the east side of the future center line and the
installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk on the east side of the street in addition
to a storm drain pipe and basic utilities (water, gas electric, etc.) under Las Flores
Drive. The project also involves the extension of the storm drain system from Minot
Avenue to the proposed systems in Las Flores Drive. Improvements are proposed to
coordinate with the development of Hudson Valley Estates #1 (EIR-78-1) which is
located to the west of the proposed project.
C. Compatibility with zoning and plans
The proposed subdivision will result in a net density of 4.6 DU/acre which is in
conformance with the medium density residential (4-12 DU/acre) "land use des@)' .

requirements for lot
minimums (90 ft. and
The proposed subdivision conforms with the Municipal Code
si ze minimums (7,000 sq. ft.) and lot depth and width
60 ft. respectively).
D. Identification of Environmental Effects
1. Soil s
A soils report prepared for the subject property indicates that on-site soils
consist of loose alluvium, uncompated fill and terraced deposits. Cohesionless
soils located on the project site may be subject to localized sloughing. To
ensure stable construction, recommendations as stated in the soils report should
be incorporated into the project.
2. Land Form/Aesthetics
The project entails substantial grading. To reduce potential siltation and
ensure aesthetic quality, manufactured slopes should be graded to blend with the
existing contours of the natural topography by use of variable slope ratios and
rounding of top and side slopes. Hydroseeding and other planting with native
materials should be used to substantially reduce aesthetic impact of land form
change and retain a more rural appearance as well as minimize water consumption.
Several mature California Pepper Trees are currently located on the project
site and are scheduled for removal through the proposed grading plans. The applicant
should contact the City's Landscape Architect in an effort to save as many trees
as feasible. The tentative map, or a preliminary grading plan, should reflect
the location of the trees and indicate their proposed disposition.
3. Flood Hazard
Lower building pads and Las Flores Drive improvements are located within the
Sweetwater River 100-year flood plain. The applicant indicates that these lower
pads will be primarily for garage construction, but that dwelling pads will all be
raised 1 ft. above the flood level to avoid flood hazard.
In order to maintain vehicular access to the dwelling units, the travel lanes
of the proposed street will be required to be at an elevation which will result
in about one and one half ft. of inundation during a 100-year flood and have no
ponding during a 10-year flood.
4. Schools
Local schools are currently operating at or above capacity. The following
chart contains the most current school enrollment and capacity figures and number
of new students anticipated due to the proposed project.

The proponent will be required to conform to the public facilities policies
of the General Plan. This will include the submission of letters from the school
districts.

5. Parks
There are currently no dedicated park facilities within the park district
2.01 where the project is proposed to be located. Given the population of this
district, the park acreage requirement is 3.6 acres. Based on the city's park
acreage requirement factor of 2 acres/lOOO population, approximately 0.10 acres
of park land would be required to serve the project.
The project proponents will be required to pay fees in lieu of park land
dedication. These fees will be used for the purchase and/or development of park
facilities in the area of this project.
E. Mitiqation necessary to avoid siqnificant impact
1. Recommendations stated within the prepared soils report should be incorporated
into the project.
2. Grading and hydroseeding should be accomplished as described in Section D2
of this Negative Declaration.
3. The sewer system will have to be designed to mInImIze the inflow of water
during inundation and designed in conformance with the flood plain ordinance.
4. In order to maintain vehicular access to the dwelling units, the travel
lanes of the proposed street will be required to be at an elevation which will result
in about one and one half ft. of inundation during a 100-year flood and have no
ponding during a 10-year flood.
5. Written assurance of classroom space from the appropriate school district
will be required.
6. In-lieu park fees will be required.
F. Findinqs of insiqnificant impact
1. The project site is void of any natural or man made resource, although
several mature trees are present on site. Dwelling sites will be raised above the
100-year flood plain and recommendations stated within a prepared soils report will
be followed to mitigate soils and slope stability related impacts. The aesthetic
quality of resulting land form and feasible disposition of mature trees will also
be ensured by prescribed mitigation.
2. The proposed subdivision is in basic conformance with the land Use Element
of the Chula Vista General Plan and will not achieve short term to the disadvantage
of long term environmental goals.
3. Impacts can be mitigated and none are anticipated to occur which could
interact to create a substantial cumulative effect on the environment.
4. Construction of the proposed 16 units will not result in any significant
increase in vehicle traffic nor will any appreciable increase in related noise
or pollutants result.

RESOLUTION NO. PCS-82-7
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING TO
THE CITY COUNCIL THE APPROVAL OF THE TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION
MAP FOR CHULA VISTA TRACT 82-7, LAS FLORES
WHEREAS, a tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract 82-7, Las Flores,
was filed by Harold West on October 21, 1981, to subdivide 5 acres, located on the
east side of Las Flores Drive extended north of "D" Street, into 20 single family
residential lots in the R-l zone, and
WHEREAS, Section 66473.5 of the State Map Act provides that approval of a
subdivision map shall be based upon findings of consistency between the subdivision
map and the adopted general or specific plan for the area, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission set the time and place for a public hearing
to consider said tentative map, and notice of said hearing, with its purpose, was
given by the publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city at least
10 days prior to the date of said hearing, and
WHEREAS, a hearing was held at said time and place, namely 7:00 p.m.,
December 16, 1981, in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning
Commission and said hearing was thereafter closed, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found that this development will have no
significant environmental impacts and adopted the Negative Declaration issued on
IS-82-l5 with the following mitigation measures:
a. Recommendations stated in the prepared soils report should be
incorporated into the project.
b. Grading and hydroseeding should be accomplished as described in
Section 2.D of the Negative Declaration.
c. The sewer system will have to be designed to minimize the inflow of
water during inundation and designed in conformance with the Flood
Plain ordinance.
d. In order to maintain vehicular access to the dwelling units the travel
lanes of the proposed street will be required to be at an elevation
which will result in about l~ feet of inundation during a 100 year
flood and have no ponding during a 10 year flood.
NOW, THEREFORE, 8E IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
From facts presented to the Planning Commission, the Commission finds that
the tentative subdivision map for Chula Vista Tract 82-7, Las Flores, is in conform-
ance with the City"s General Plan, based on the following:
((-/o71if
1. The 250 ft. lot depth is insufficient to provide for a development pattern
with cul-de-sacs at right angles to Las Flores Drive. This side of the valley lends
itself well to panhandle lot development in a fashion similar to that approved
earlier for the west side of the valley.
2. The design of the project will improve and extend the existing public
improvements, such as streets, drainage, sewer, etc., which will be designed to
avoid any serious health problems.
3. Approval of this project will not adversely affect the public service
needs of the residents of the city or available fiscal and environmental resources.
4. The subdivision is consistent with the General Plan and its elements as
fo 11 ows :
a. Land Use - The density of the project of 4.6 units per acre conforms
to the General Plan designation for this area of 4-12 DU/acre.
b. Circulation - The development will extend and improve Las Flores
Drive north of "D" Street.
c. Housing - The proposed project will provide needed housing in the
COl1l11uni ty.
d. Conservation - While extensive grading will occur, it will retain
the basic land form.
e. Parks and Recreation - The development will be required to pay
fees in lieu of dedication and improving park lands.
f. Seismic Safety and Safety - The proposed development is not adjacent
to any known earthquake faults and is well within the response time
of the fire station located on "F" Street.
g. Noise _ The units must be of a construction necessary to achieve
acceptable interior noise levels established by the uniform building
code.
h. Scenic Routes - The project is not adjacent to any designated scenic
route.
i. Bicycle Routes - No bicycle route is designated on Las Flores Drive.
j. Public Buildings - No public buildings are designated on the subject
property.
5. Pursuant to Section 66412.2 of the Subdivision Map Act the Commission
certifies that it has considered the effect of this approval on the housing needs
of the region and has balanced those needs against the public service needs of
the residents of the City of Chula Vista and the available fiscal and environ-
mental resources and determined that the subject property is well suited for
residential development.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the
tentative map for Chula Vista Tract 82-7, Las Flores, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The developer shall be responsible for acquiring and dedicating
right-of-way for Las Flores Drive to a line 12 feet west of its
centerline (as shown on the tentative map) between the north and
south boundaries of the project excluding that easement already
granted to the City by Document No. 78-300702 recorded 7-18-78.
2. The developer shall obtain drainage easements for any segments of
brow ditch offsite of the subdivision.
3. The developer shall be responsible for constructing a 10 foot width
of Las Flores Drive immediately west of its centerline from the
southerly subdivision boundary to "D" Street. Installation of these
improvements shall be coordinated with the deferral granted for
property associated with Parcel Map 5711.
Note: There is an improvement certificate on Parcel Map 7129
covering a portion of a 10 foot wide strip west of centerline.
4. The developer shall be responsible for constructing the storm drain
