RESOLUTION NO. 10768
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA CERTIFYING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT EIR-80-6A,
ADOPTING CEQA FINDINGS ON EIR-80-6A AND STATEMENT OF
OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS FOR TELEGRAPH POINT
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, Pacific Scene, Inc. submitted revised develop-
ment plans for the East College Sectional Planning Area of El
Rancho del Rey Specific Plan, and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Committee reviewed the
revised development plan, which consists of 252 dwelling units
located the northeast corner of Telegraph Canyon Road and Otay
Lakes Road, and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Committee found that
the revised development plan could result in significant environ-
mental impacts not identified in EIR-80-6 certified on the pre-
vious development plans and would therefore require a supplemental
Environmental Impact Report to address the issues of land form
alteration and aesthetics, and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Section of the Planning
Department prepared the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report which was issued by the Environmental Review Committee, and
WHEREAS, legal notice of the availability of the draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was given through
publication in a newspaper of general circulation and a notice of
completion was filed with the Secretary of Resources for the State
of California, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Chula
Vista held a public hearing on the adequacy of the draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and a response to all
written comments and testimony at the public hearing was
incorporated into the Environmental Impact Report.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula vista finds that Environmental Impact Report
EIR-80-6A on the proposed development has been prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,
as amended, and the environmental review procedures of the City of
Chula vista and hereby certifies that the City Council has
considered the information contained in the EIR in its review of
this project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the CEQA findings contained
in Planning Commission Resolution EIR-80-6A be, and the same are
adopted.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council finds that
the following overriding considerations support said recommenda-
tion to approve the project based upon said final EIR and other
information in the record:
a. Any time a vacant 34 acre property is developed with
several hundred housing units, the result will be a
significant impact on the natural land form and the
aesthetics related to that form. This will be
partially mitigated by the construction of an
attractive residential complex which will help to
fulfill the social need for housing which should be
relatively moderate in cost as compared with detached
single family homes.
b. The project has been lowered in elevation from a
previous proposal and structure have been sited so as
to retain a good portion of the views presently
afforded existing residents north of the site.
c.
A substantial portion of the grading to be
accomplished is necessary in order to widen Otay
Lakes Road. The on and off site widening of Otay
Lakes Road will benefit traffic circulation and
improve safety along this heavily traveled street.
d.
The proposed development complies with density
guidelines of the El Rancho del Rey Specific Plan.
