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. -1- 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. Presented by D. J. Pet r Planning Approved as ~o form by ~~-~ t~ " George D.
