D,A'-r' RAnCH JOINT PLANNING PROJECT COUNW Of SAN Dll";GO . CIW OF CHULA VISTA July 29, 1992 FROM: County of San Diego Board of Supervisors City of Chula Vista Citj Council ~ Anthony J. Lettieri, AICP, General Manager TO: SIJBJECT: Otay Ranch Draft Environmental Impact Report Public Review Period Sever:!! requests from the public have been received to extend the public review period for the Otay Ranch Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) from 45 days to 90 days (six requests have been to extend the public review period to 120 days and five requests to 180 days). Those requests are attached and include letters from three County Planning Groups: Sweetwater, JamuljDulzura and Valle de Oro. Staff Request Provide direction to the Otay Ranch Project Team on the length of time to give the public to review the Otay Ranch Draft EIR. Background The Otay Ranch Draft EIR will go out for public review on July 31, 1992. A 45-day pubiic review period would end on September 14, 1992 while a 90-day public review would end on October 28, 1992. The Draft EIR, without appendices, is approximately 1,600 pages. The appendices add another 2,000 pages. There will be an Executive Summary which will provide a general overview of the project and all of the alternatives, their potential impacts and potential mitigation measures. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not mandate a longer public review period than 45 days. CEQA addresses the size of an EIR and review periods in two sections: . Section 15141: "The text of draft EIRs should normally be less than 150 pages and for proposals of unusual scope or complexity should normally be less than 300 pages." . Section 15087(c): "In order to provide sufficient time for public review, review periods for draft EIRs should not be less than 30 days nor longer than 90 days from the date of the notice except in unusual situations." 315 Fourth Avenue, Suite A, Chula Vista, CA 91910 . (619) 422-7157 . FAX: (619) 422-7690 Board of Supervisors/ Chula Vista City Council July 29, 1992 Page 2 of 2 The implications of the public review period length of time relate both to the ability of this Board and Council to consider the Otay Ranch project this year and the public's ability to adequately review the EIR. If public review is 90 days, clearly the legislative hearings would be next year. With a 45-day public review period, there is a possibility we could complete hearings this year, although even that is questionable and will depend on the length of Planning Commission hearings, the amount of public input and the number of official comments on the EIR that need responses.

In recent conversations with County Staff, we have been apprised of the unusual magnitude of subject environmental documentation. We understand that the basic EIR will contain approximately 1,500 pages with technical appendicies of 2,000 additional pages. Given the extensive nature of the proposed project and its wide-spread effect on surrounding communities and the environment, we understand the need for a large document to address alternatives and environmental issues. Our concern is that the normal 45-day review time will not be adequate for review and development of accurate responses by the affected communities. Our experience in dealing with large-scale projects indicates that 90 days will be the minimum required to review adequately the 3,500 pages of information and to prepare appropriate responses. A lesser review time will result in the discovery of major issues in the final public hearing phases of the project and may invalidate the final environmental document.

Box 613 Jamul, CA 91935 July 18, 1992 TO: Tony Lettieri, General Manager, Otay Ranch Joint Planning Project FROM: Jamul-Dulzura Community Planning Group Otay Ranch Environmental Impact Report RE: At the July 14th, 1992, meeting the Jamul-Dulzura community Planning Group voted unanimously to request that the public review period for the otay Ranch Environmental Impact Report be lengthened from 45 days to a minimum of 90 days. Due to the extraordinary size of the document, the group feels that a six week period is inadequate for a thorough and conscientious evaluation and commentary. The planning group needs adequate time to notify community members, form subcommittees, set up meeting dates and locations, and thoroughly review the material. A forty five day time limit makes this impossible to achieve. Also, the review period falls during a time when group and community members are on summer vacation. decreases participation and input. many planning This further We urge you to carefully consider this request and recommend a more reasonable length of time.

Lettieri General Mgr. Otay Ranch Joint Project 315 Fourth Ave. Suite A Chula Vista CA 91910 Dear Mr. Lettieri; It has come to my attention that the Otay Ranch Joint Planning Project DEIR is, or will be out for public review. I am respectfully requesting two things in this letter. First, and most importantly, that the time limit for public review for the very large DEIR be extended to 120 days, in order for local Planning and Sponsor Groups to review it adequately. Because the Groups meet on a monthly basis, the time element from the time it is presented to the Group is very short. Secondly, Since one alternative suggests a Biological Preserve extending throughout the Sweetwater River, we in Descanso are very concerned and possibly the Planning Group would support that concept. We have not been "kept up to speed" on this impending project, however would like to be included in mailings concerning the project and most significantly be sent a copy of the DEIR. As a member of the Descanso Sponsor Group and the Secretary, I felt personal obligation to write asking you for these considerations. As I was apprised of the time for review on the DEIR only today, I have not been able to bring this to the Group, however will do so. Thank you for your attention to my concerns. ruth D'Spain g."""'1j ,','" " " . ii{q' ,v.

Lettieri, General Manager Otay Ranch Project Office 315 Fourth Ave. Chula Vista, Calif, 91910 July 19,1992 Dear Mr, Lettieri, I am on the board of directors of the statewide Urban Creeks Council and founder of the Cottonwood Creek Conservancy in Encinitas. I understand that the Otay Ranch Project will be 7 square miles. the size of San Francisco, at build-out. This will have such a huge impact on our bioregion's resources and biological diversity, that I must be able to comment on the EIR. I also understand that the EIR/EIS will be 2000+ pages. Since this is four times the size of an average EIR, I am writing to ask you to please allow at least 180 days for review. As a third generation southern Californian, I believe it is time for the type of innovative and precedent-setting development which your company is proposing in its environmental plan. It is time to stop the profligate waste of our land and resources and to insist that we can and must, live with nature. The old style of land development has brought our state to the verge of ecological collapse. Our climate and quality environment compensate for the high cost of doing business here, while the attractiveness of our natural resources is key to keeping investments here. Thank you for your consideration of my request to extend the comment period. Yours for Greenway Corridors (small, medium and large), -~7n. U Mary Renaker P.O.

(EIR) be extended to 180 days. While I realize that this is considerably longer than the public review period allowed for most projects, you would have to agree that Baldwin's Otay Ranch project is unique in both its size and complexity. A comprehensive review of the biological issues related to nine on-site and four off-site alternatives and associated resource management plan for the development of 23,000 acres requires substantial coordination on the pan of our organization. This type of review cannot be done in 45 days. If it is determined that l80-day public review period is not possible. we request that the review period be no less than 90 days. In addition to receiving the EIR, we need to receive a copy of all technical appendices, including the resource management plan. In order to expedite our review process, I would request that, in this instance only, the EIR and technical appendices be sent to me at my home address: 3643 Waco Street, San Diego, CA 92117.

Baldwin Otay Ranch EIR Review Period. Dear Mr. Lettieri: Please consider lengthening:~the comment period for the above-referenced project. The following are a few reasons why I ask your consideration. I believe lengthening the comment period is necessary to give the EIR adequate review. The nature of the project and the size of the EIR place it in an "excepillonal circumstance" to the general 45-day comment period. The proposed Otay Ranch Development is. the largest development in California history, presently the largest in the U.S., has multiple complex and intact biological resources, and has a joint agency for the lead.

We will be reviewing the above referenced document, and wish to request a minimum 90 day comment period. The Otay Ranch project is unprecedented in size, scope and complexity of issues, and it is of great importance to the future of our region. The EIR is reportedly in excess of 2000 pages. A 90 day period for review is thus indicated and will serve the public interest. In addition, may we please be placed on the mailing list to receive a copy of the EIR at the letterhead address.

We are attending the joint workshops, and enjoyed your presentation very much. Several Board members have enjoyed the field trip hosted by Fred Arbuckle-- terrific! -- and several more hope to take the tour in the future, including a Regional staff person, John McCaull, from Sacramento. We have also joined a new group, the South County Environ- mental Working Group, in order to share knowledge and ideas. Many of us will be reviewing both'the Resource Management Plan and the ErR, when they are made public. We understand that the ErR will no doubt exceed 2000 pages, that is, will run three or four times longer than an ordinary ErR, and that there are nine alternativ~s!!! on site and four off site. A daunting task, to provide responsible review. And yet we plan to do just that. And so we have a request: please extend the comment period to at least 90 days, or, better yet, 180 days. The sheer length and complexity would seem to justify such. We will also be sharing our copies among ourselves, and we're all busy, and volunteers only, but we don't want you wasting trees by printing unnecessary copies. We find much that is exciting and innovative in the project. We aim to help in making it not just the biggest, but the best of all possible projects for South County. Thank you for your consideration, and please let me know about the extended comment period. ~~ Norma Sullivan, Conservation Chair 5858 Scripps St. San Diego, CA 92122 452-0787 ,JERRY S.

As we are all aware, there is very little that is "usual" about this project. The scale of this project, it's impact on San Diego, and the almost intimidating amount of information that is cont.ined in the E.I.R. demands thorough and comphrensive con- sideration.

M~ Del Mar, Ca 92014 \ Mr. Anthony Lettieri, General Manager, Otay Ranch Project Office 315 Fourth Avenue, Suite A Chula Vista, CA 91910 , - .....:.. -' July 16, 1992 Dear Mr. Lettieri, I am writing to strongly urge you to extend the length of the public review and comment period for the Otay Ranch Development Project's EIR to a minimum of 120 days. My reasons for this request reflect the extraordinary circumstances which surround this Project. Due to the ma~nitude of the document (1,700 pages!), the complexity of the appendices, and the scale of this largest development project in all of California, (23,OOO acres!) a shorter review period is inappropriate and, in my opinion, irresponsible. The Otay Ranch Project has an unprecedented level of potential. It has the awesome potential to demonstrate successful innovations in planning, land use and design which meet the urgent needs of ecology, economy and community in Southern California. It also has the enormous potential to destroy the functioning of healthy ecosystems as well as quality and diversity of life within these interwoven and interdependent domains. Time is needed for the public to gain perspectives and consensus which would lead to solid support for true win-wins among these three areas of ecology, economy and community. The stakes are high. A minimum of 120 days of public review and comment, given the extraordinarv conditions surrounding this Project, would prevent a hasty and only cursory treatment of the proposed plan and alternatives; it would also reduce the potential for conflict and litigation over the proper interpretation of CEQA review time allowances for extenuating circumstances such as the ones mentioned. Ultimately, for the sake of protecting our precious environment, bolstering our precarious economy and respecting the deserving public and future generations, a minimum of 120 days public review and comment is needed to attract the most rational, resourceful, constructive and creative input from all quarters. The rest of the State, and perhaps the nation, looks on. How we treat this decision-making process will have a direct effect on the legacy we help leave.

Project Team:- As a citizen of San Diego county, and a member of the Valle de Oro Community Planning Group, I have been following the progress of the Otay Ranch Project Team. I have also attended the joint planning commission workshops and field tours. I write to you now, and to the other decision-makers involved, to address the issue of adequate public review for the forthcoming draft EIR. The State Guidelines for CEQA refer to this aspect of the process in several articles: Article 7. EIR Process - Public Review of Draft EIR (page 108) 15087. (c) In order to provide sufficient time for public review, review periods for draft EIRs should not be less than 30 days nor longer than 90 days from the date of the notice EXCEPT IN UNUSUAL SITUATIONS. (emphasis mine) Article 8. Time Limits Public Review (page 124) 15105. (a) Same statement as above citation. Article 10. Considerations in Preparing EIRs and Negative Declarations Page Limits (page 147) 15141. The text of draft EIRs should normally be less than 150 pages and FOR PROPOSALS OF UNUSUAL SCOPE OR COMPLEXITY SHOULD NORMALLY BE LESS THAN 300 PAGES. (emphasis mine) Article 13. Review and Evaluation of EIRs and Negative Declarations Adequate Time for Review and Comment (page 177) 15203. The Lead Agency shall provide adequate time for other public agencies and members of the public to review and comment on a draft EIR or Negative Declaration that it has prepared. .. I am told by Anne Ewing that the current single-spaced draft of the EIR is running over 1600 pages with appendices and supporting technical reports of some additional 2000 pages. If an EIR of "unusual scope or complexity" should come in under 300 pages, the Otay Ranch Project draft EIR must surely qualify as a one-of-a-kind submittal. We all certainly recognize the unusual character of this project. I haven't been in school for some time now, but my arithmetic tells me that if 300 pages deserve 90 days, then 1600 pages (and more) deserve about 450 days for adequate review. I realize this is not practical and I suggest a compromise period of 180 days. I will be attending your meeting on July the comments public. Please place this letter in your my intention to establish an administrative project. 30th to make my file as it is record on this Sincerely, I)M.J r- /eW---- cc: Otay Ranch Project Team, Chu1a Vista City Council Members, Members of the Board of Supervisors, Valle de Oro Community Planning Group, State Dept. of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State of California Office of Planning and Research, South County Environmental Working Group Mr. Anthony J.

Lettieri, General Manager, Joint ~roject Planning Team, regarding otay Ranch Environmental Impact Report Public Review Period SPEAKERS: calling this an extraordinary project with regional ramifications, the following persons encouraged a 120-day perioo for public review of the draft Environmental Impact Report: Michael Beck, of Endangered Habitats League Clark waite, individually. Also recognizing this as an exceptional project, the following persons advocated a minimum 90-day review period: Daniel Tarr, individually, and representing the Valle de Oro Planning Group Fay McQueen, individually. Greg smith, of the Baldwin Company, expressed his belief, as did his attorney, that 45 days is within legal parameters, and woulo provide for meaningful review. No. 1 7/30/92 mdb Page 1 of 4 pages ~ 10 1J/ClJ-f /12- '* / ,r" ( DISCUSSION SUMMARY: A brief history of the Otay Ranch project and its structure was given by Greg Smith, of the Baldwin Company, and Lari Sheehan, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, with the role of the Executive Staff Committee and the Project Team defined by John Goss, Chula vista city Manager. Tony Lettieri, General Manager, Joint Planning project Team, discussed components of the project, as set forth in Document No. 752047, referenced above; and stated that the Resource Management Plan, intended to be the equivalent of the County's Resource Protection Ordinance for the otay Ranch, is complete and will be included as part of the Draft Environmental Impact Report. He stated that the County's General Plan Amendment and the City of Chula vista's General Development Plan are being prepared at this time; and the Service Revenue Plan and Sphere of Influence Study will be complete before they corne before the Board of supervisors and the Chula vista city council, as will the State Property Tax Agreement. He reported that the Draft Environmental Impact Report will be ready for public review tomorrow, July 31, 1992; and solicited direction from the joint bodies on the review process. The impact of the upcoming November election on continuity of the process was discussed. Various timetables for completion of public review of the Draft Environmental Impact Report were considered. Counsel for the City of chula vista opined that the law would tolerate a 60-day review period; and clarified that Chula vista is the lead agency in setting the review period. Counsel for the County contended that a 90-dayreview period would be more defensible, pointing out that this Draft Environmental Impact Report consists of almost 4,000 pages, and normally should not exceed 300 pages, which could classify it as an unusual situation under section l5087(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act. Counsel for the County also stated that, although Chula vista is the lead agency for environmental purposes, the County would be fully involved should litigation ensue. Counsel for Chula vista explained that the Baldwin Company has the right to approve counsel in the defense of any lawsuit, and would bear the expense of counsel and any judgment. The issues of public review period extension and county indemnification were examined. It was agreed that setting a goal of 60 days for public review, with the county reserving the right to request extension, should be adequate. Greg smith indicated that the Baldwin Company would not be opposed to indemnification of the County during the public review period. No. 1 7/30/92 mdb Page 2 of 4 pages It was reported that at the next workshop, on September 24, 1992, this item will again be considered, along with the Village Development Concept and Plan Alternatives. At the following workshop, on October 22, 1992, issues related to public facilities will be discussed. ACTION: ON MOTION of Supervisor Golding, seconded by Supervisor Williams, the Board of Supervisors set a public review period of 60 days for the Draft Environmental Impact Report, with the understanding it may be necessary to extend this period; and directed County Counsel to meet with representatives of the Baldwin Company to discuss indemnification of the County of San Diego equivalent to indemnification granted the City of Chula vista. AYES: Bilbray, Bailey, Golding, Williams, MacDonald Subsequently, the Chula vista city Council took action to set an Environmental Impact Report public review period of 60 days, subject to future extension on County request, with the final decision resting with the City of Chula vista; and with early submission and review of public comment encouraged.

Members of the public have also regularly participated in the planning process. This joint planning effort has resulted In this Otay Ranch General Development Plan (GDPl/Sub-Reglonal Plan (SRPl. which sets forth a comprehensive plan for Otay Ranch. The GDP/SRP Is an Integrated policy document which combines the requirements of the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego. This GDP/SRP: o Identifies the land use pattern and Intensities for the Otay Ranch community; o Identifies Otay Ranch land use. facility, environmental. economic and social goals, objectives and policies; o Informs citizens. the land owner. decision-makers and local jurlsdlcltlons of the policies which will guide development within the Otay Ranch; o Guides the coordinated development of Otay Ranch consistent with the goals of the City of Chula Vista. County of San Diego and the region; and o Provides a foundation for the subsequent consideration and approval of Sectional Planning Area/Specific Plans and Subdivision Maps. October 5, 1992.

"a solitary hill in aflat valley," or "a brushy place." Dona Magdalena Estudillo. daughter of Captain Jose Maria Estudlllo, received a land grant from Governor Jose Maria Echeandia in 1820, which encompassed the 6.657 acre Indian village of Otay, At the same time. Jose Antonio Estudillo, her brother, received the smaller grant (4,436 acres) of Rancho Janal. which adjoined Otay Rancho. On May 4, 1846, Governor Pio Pico reaffirmed these grants. The Land Act of 1851 required all holders of property in California to prove their rights of ownership to the lands they claimed. The Estudillo's petitions for the Otay and Janal properties lasted 10 years, followed by lengthy court hearings. Dona Magdalena's clatm was finally confirmed on January 21, 1872 by the United States Land Co=ission. and Jose G. Estudillo, son of Jose Antonio. received the final patent for Rancho Janal from the United States Land Co=ission at the same time. Both properties were known as Rancho Otay at that ttme, with the Janal Rancho designated as Otay Dominguez, and the original Otay Rancho being called Otay Estudll1o. Although both ranchos were administered together, they each had their own cattle brand. During the 10 year delay for confirmation, Rancho Otay changed ownership several ttmes. The first American owner of the property . was Solon S. Sanborn. who purchased it on July 1. 1872. Captain Matthew Sherman bought a half interest in the property In the same year. Sherman was mayor of San Diego in 1891 and a CMl War veteran. In 1883. Rancho Otay was owned by the San Diego Land and Town Company. a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railroad. In 1900, the San Diego Land and Town Company filed a subdMsion map on pari of the property. John D. Spreckles. a Coronado financier and owner of the Hotel del Coronado. bought Otay Ranch around 1900. Mr. Spreckles then sold both Otay and Janal to his friend, Elisha Spurr Babcock. Mr. Babcock. the bullder of the Hotel del Coronado, came to San Diego on a vacation and. after a prolonged stay. decided to make San Diego his home. He made several investments in San Diego. including the Otay Water Company (later the Southern California Mountain Water Company). which he organized in 1895 to provide a reliable water source for the growing city of San Diego. The company completed construction of Lower Otay Dam In 1897. By 1904. the company had constructed both Upper and Lower Otay Dams and begun another dam at Morena Lake. He sold his Interest In the Southern California Mountain Water Company to the Spreckles companies In 1906. Later. the City of San Diego acquired the lands of the Upper and Lower Otay Reservoirs. October 5. 1992 Page 9 Otay Ranch GDP/SRP 0 Part I ..., Babcock was an avid sportsman. and he went on several hunting trips to the Otay region to hunt ducks. quail. rabbits. and other game. He organized a hunting and fishing club for the purpose of entertaining his friends. prominent dignitaries. and the guest at the Hotel del Coronado. which he managed. He also constructed several hunting blinds and sheds to be used during hunting trips. Babcock died suddenly In 1922. In 1923. real estate dealer Rube Harrison bought the property. Mr. Harrison helped develop several large tracts of land in San Diego County. In 1937. Harrison was involved In several suits brought against htm by Henry J. Adams. who had bought properties In partnership with Harrison. One of the suits was for allegedly cheating Adams out of $64.792 for the purchase of Otay Ranch. Rube E. Harrison sold the property to Stephen Birch In 1936. Mr. Birch was a wealthy man who had made his fortune as a mining engineer In the early days of Alaskan mining. He was the chairman of the board of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, and the president of the Alaska Steamship Company. The Birches were a prominent family In the East. with a lineage In the United States dating back to 1616. Stephen Birch married Mary Celine Rand In New Jersey In 1916. Their daughter. Mary was born In 1917. and their son. Stephen. Jr. was born In 1918. Birch had come to California on vacation in the 19208 and Itked It so much, he purchased several large tracts of land. Including Rancho Otay. By combining the contiguous properties, the original area of Rancho Otay. which was nearly 6.658 acres. grew to about 29.000 acres. The 11 acre estate where the family lived was called Rancho del Otay. The ranch was called the Otay Agricultural Corporation. Later. the name was changed to United Enterprises. Stephen Birch. Jr. was president of the company and Mary R Birch was vice president. The land was farmed. producing Itma beans. hay and grain. Ltma beans were abandoned as a major crop In 1949. when the bindweed morning glory Infested the fields so badly the bean plants could not grow properly.

Scarbe!)' advised putttng stock out to graze the range. supervised their purchase and improved the stock by using high quality purebred Polled Hereford Bulls for breeding. He directed a scienttfically proven program of land management that included leveling 1,000 acres for growtng barley. oats and alfalfa. In addition, he participated tn developing a new hybrid ltma bean. Mr. Birch died in 1940. Mary Birch. daughter of Stephen Sr., lived on the property for three decades. She tnherited the ranch, family farming bustness and Rancho del Otay from her father in 1940. In 1955. Mary Birch married Patrick R Patrick. a retired commander tn the Royal Air Force. They moved to .the Otay property and lived there for the rest of their lives. They built several guest houses and other residences for ranch hands and other employees. Although wealthy, they preferred a simple life and were very private people. Mary Birch Patrick donated the land for a hospital where the Chula Vista Community Hospital complex now stands. In 1971. Mary's husband Patrick died. followed by Mary's death tn 1983. The Otay Ranch property was sold to The Baldwtn Company by United Enterprises in November. 1988.

In 1989, The Baldwin Company submitted an initial draft General Plan Amendment. This proposal was reviewed by the City of Chula Vista, the County of San Diego, citizen committees, technical committees and planners from many publ1c entities. Many environmental, fac1l1ty and planning issues were identified, analyzed and resolved. The analysis of these issues led to the development of new and innovative planning concepts expressed through seven alternative plans. Each alternative plan raised additional issues which were also studied and resolved. This issue identification/resolution process eventually led to the preparation of the proposed General Development Plan/Sub-Regional Plan, which best resolves identified issues and balances competing interests. Jurisdictional Setting The 22,919 acre Otay Ranch is situated on unincorporated land and comprises seven separate parcels located in southwestern San Diego County. A majority (22,529 acres) of Otay Ranch is located within the unincorporated area of San Diego County; the remaining (390 acres) are situated in the Otay Mesa area of the City of San Diego, south of the Otay River Valley. The City of Chula Vista included the Otay Valley Parcel as part of the Chula Vista General Plan Eastern Territories section. The Local Agency Formation Commission designated the western portion of Otay Ranch as a special study area, in order to allow for the preparation of a comprehensive land plan before deciding ultimate jurisdictional al1gnments.

United Enterprises Ltd.. the prior property owner. Initiated a planning process for the Otay Ranch In 1984, by requesting County authorization to process an application for a General Plan Amendment governing Otay Ranch. Due to the size and complexity of the project. and the need to work with other jurisdictions, the County created an Informal cooperative planning process through the adoption of Board of Supervisors Policy 1- 1091. After four years of preliminary studies. In early 1989. the County Board of Supervisors authorized submittal of a General Plan Amendment for the Otay Ranch property. In November of 1988, The Baldwin Company purchased the Otay Ranch property from United Enterprises Ltd. In April of 1989. The Baldwin Company executed a "Statement of Intentlon"2 with the City of Chula Vista, contemplating the preparation of a Development Agreement In association with the planning of Otay Ranch. In May of 1989, the County Board of Supervisors executed a "Statement of Intention" with The Baldwin Company expressing an Intention to prepare and adopt an Otay Ranch General Plan Amendment. Memorandum oj Understanding On August I, 1989, the County Board of Supervisors and Chula Vista City Council executed a Memorandum of Understandlng3 formally empowering the InteIjurlsdlctional Task Force (IJTF) to coordinate the preparation and review of Otay Ranch plans and to formalize the relationship between the County of San Diego and City of Chula Vista's planning efforts. . This Memorandum of Understanding sets forth a work plan for the joint processing and review of Otay Ranch planning documents. and adoption of General Plan Amendments. Master Development Agreements, an Environmental Impact Report. Service Revenue Plan, Sphere of Influence Study and Annexation Plan.

Soon after a March 1990 public workshop, the IJTF created seven new citizen commtttees to review Otay Ranch plans. These committees met over a three month period. New Town Plan: In October, 1989, The Baldwin Company submitted a General Plan Amendment application to the Inte~UrisdiCtiOnal Task Force entitled the Otay Ranch New Town Plan . The application proposed the creation of a community with residential villages, resorts, a commercial center, a research park, a university site and two regional parks. The New Town Plan called for 15 villages built throughout the Ranch over the next four decades, providing approximately 49,648 new homes, related services and employment opportunities.

March 10, 1990 Public Workshop: On Saturday. March 10. 1990. the lJTF hosted a public workshop to explain the Otay Ranch planning process. the status of the environmental review. the components of the New Town Plan. and to gain public input concerning the future of the Ranch' property. Following the lJTF workshop. seven IJTF citizen committees were formed to review the preparation of future plans. The committees focused on cultural arts/libraries. environmental/sensitive lands. housing. parks. recreation and open space. traffic and roads. sewer/water/conservation. and senior/social services issues. Meetings were held over a three month period. Interjurisdictlonal Task Force Workshop: The lntexjurisdictional Task Force conducted an expansive, free flowing workshop on March 21, 1990 to more precisely define Otay Ranch planning goals. issues and priorities in response to the proposed New Town Plan. public comments and professional analysis. Discussion centered on the following key issues7: o SR 125: Higher Intensity development should be concentrated along the SR-125 corridor. o Mass Transit: High priority Is given to mass transit. Including strategic use of density to promote a successful transit system. o Intensities: Higher intensities near transit corridors may be acceptable to support mass transit. o Eastern Urban Center: The Eastern Urban Center should be highly focused and may contain intense land uses. o Resort Center: A destination resort should be considered within the Otay Ranch. o Campus Style Industrial: Land should be included on the Otay Valley Parcel for research and industrial uses. Project Team Land Use Alternatives: On June 21. 1990. IJTF staff released the "Project Team Land Use Alternatives." which Included four alternative land use plans: the Project Team Alternative (PTA). the Low Density Alternative, the Environmental Alternative and the Fourth AlternativeS.

This set of issue papers was prepared during the summer of 1990. and accepted by the InteIjurisdictional Task Force in late summer and early fall. Issue papers addressed the following topiCS: Q North/South Transit Corridor: Include a north/south transit corridor which generally follows the SR-125 alignment through the Otay Ranch and extends easterly into the heart of the Eastern Urban Center. Q East/West Transit Corridor: Provide for an east/west transit corridor. Q Otay Valley Road and Pas eo Ranchero Alignments: Extend Otay Valley Road southerly of Rock Mountain Immediately exiting the valley on the north side. Paseo Ranchero. at Its southern extremity. should cross the Otay River Valley at the approximate location of the current river crossing. and extend southerly to the current location of Otay Valley Road/Heritage Road (north-south segment). . Q South Dam Road: Delete South Dam Road and configure land uses so that a future road connection remains feasible.

Transit Section D The South Coast Organizations Operating Transit (SCOOT) was formed in 1979 to govern Chula Vista Transit. SCOOT is ajoint- powers agency of the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego. Chula Vista Transit (CVT). a contracted service sponsored by the City of Chula Vista. has routes which serve major areas and activity centers. including Southwestern College. H Street. Otay Lakes Road and Telegraph Canyon Road (north of the Otay Valley Parcel) . CVT. through the Metropolitan Transit Development Board (MTDB). coordinates its service with other regional agencies such as the San Diego Trolley. San Diego Transit Corporation (SDTC). National City Transit (NCT). and Route 932 operated by Southwest Coaches. Trolley service exists Six miles west of Otay Ranch and CVT provides public transit connections to that existing service. ln 1991. the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) prepared the .South Bay Rail Transit Extension Study," which examined the feasibility of providing additional rail transit to the South County area. connecting the existing trolley system to Otay Mesa. The study concluded that one of the alternative trolley alignments. through Otay Ranch (A-l). resulted in the largest increase in regional new trips of the alternatives studied.6 Surrounding Land Uses The area surrounding the project site includes Otay Mesa. central and eastern Chula Vista. the San Ysidro Mountains. the Jamul Mountains and the Otay Lakes. 6 South Bay Rail Trans.

Once the Olympic Training Center Facility is completed to the west, rowing events are also planned. Other land uses located at the southern end of Lower Otay Lake include the Lower Otay County Park and a City of San Diego water treatment facility. San Diego Sports Center: The San Diego Sports Center is located on the eastern side of Lower Otay Lake adjacent to the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel. The sports center consists of a dirt airstrip and supporting structures and is used for sky dMng and ultralight activities. The sports center leases the property from the City of San Diego and operates under a Conditional Use Permit from the County of San Diego.

Topography Otay Valley Parcel: Years of dry farming have smoothed the terrain of the Otay Valley Parcel, which is predominantly characterized by gently undulating ridges and eroded terraces, The most distinctive feature on the parcel is the Otay River Valley, which traverses the southern portion of the parcel and topographically separates most of the parcel from Otay Mesa. The Otay River floodplain ranges in width from 300 to 800 feet, with the narrOwer segment located near the west end of the parcel, in the vicinity of the Nelson Sloan quarry The floor of the valley ranges from 300 feet to nearly one mile in width. . Salt Creek, which drains south to the Otay River Valley, generally forms the eastern boundary of the parcel. Other tributary canyons which feed into the Otay River Valley include Wolf, Johnson, and O'Neal canyons. Savage Dam is located near the southern tip of Lower Otay Lake. From the river valley floor (approximately 300 feet MSL), elevations gradually rise up to the lake surface (490 feet MSL). Near the western boundary, Poggi Canyon bisects the northwest quarter of the parcel, and the Otay Landfill has leveled the adjacent hillside. Another topographic feature of the Otay Valley Parcel is Telegraph Canyon, which forms the northern boundary of the parcel. Elevations range from 160 to 670 feet MSL on this parcel. Proctor Valley Parcel: South, north and northwest of the Jamul Mountains, the topography of Proctor Valley generally consists of broad gentle hillsides. while the terrain eastward toward the Jamul Mountains becomes increasingly rugged. Several small, narrow drainages are present along the eastern edge of the valley. A low east-west trending ridgeline effectively divides the valley near the upper end of the parcel. To the north of the Jamul Mountains. Proctor Valley continues as a broad even meadow with rolling hillsides to the south. South of the Jamul Mountains is a large, rolling terrace that overlooks Lower Otay Lake. Two large north- south canyons cut across the mesa. extending to the lake. This parcel is the most topographically diverse of all three portions of the ranch, with elevations ranging from approximately 500 feet MSL to a high point of 2,053 feet MSL to the east at the top of Callahan Mountain. October 5. 1992 Page 43 Otay Ranch GDP/SRP a Part I ~ ""! San Ysidro Mountains Parcel: Terrain on the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel is dominated by hlllsides and ridgelines extending north from the San Ysidro Mountains. In general, the area immediately south of the lake features broader, gentler hlllsides, while the central portion contains steep mountain slopes and the narrow drainages of Big and Little Cedar Canyons. This series of natural drainages extends from the mountains north, draining the site toward Jamul-Dulzura Creek. The eastern portion of the parcel is characterized by upper elevation valleys, with a mesa top, formed by moderately sloped ridgelines. In the Hubbard Springs area, broader valleys occur as the onsite elevations gradually drop down from the mountains. Slopes and hlllsides along the eastern property boundary serve to separate the site from the nearby community of Dulzura. Elevations on this parcel range from 550 feet MSL to 1,550 feet MSL. ... "" .. "'"! 2. Biological Resources ... The dominant feature linking the three Otay Ranch parcels is the Otay River system, which includes a tributary system of canyons and drainage courses and the Otay Lakes. The size and undeveloped character of the property, its diverse terrain, its strategic location at the northern margin of Baja California habitat associations, and its links to large areas of public ownership, contribute to the presence of an important and unusual assemblage of habitats and species. The following is a summary of plant communities, wildlife habitats and sensitive species that exist on the Otay Ranch property based upon various inventories of existing resources on the site. 1 Cl Otay Valley Parcel: The Otay Valley Parcel contains approximately 1,826 acres of coastal sage scrub. Maritime succulent scrub habitat is concentrated in three general locations on the Otay Valley Parcel: in the western and eastern comers and in the central southern area, covering 285 acres in all. Other vegetation found on the Otay Valley Parcel includes 7 acres of chamise chaparral, 1,310 acres of non-native grassland, and 12 acres of southern willow scrub. Baccharis scrub, baccharis floodplain scrub and tamarisk scrub are also present. The Otay Valley Parcel contains an area of vernal pool habitat and associated mima mound topography. These are generally located south of the river. Recent Sightings (1989 and later) of sensitive animals made on the Otay Valley Parcel include the American Badger, Common Barn Owl, California Gnatcatcher, Yellow-breasted Chat, Catus Wren, Blue Grosbeak. and Sage Sparrow. .. ... ... ~ ...

Additional significant resources within the Proctor Valley Parcel include 569 acres of southern mixed chaparral. approximately 49 acres of valley needlegrass grassland and 138 acres of akali meadow. Coast live oak woodland covers 176 acres in the Proctor Valley Parcel. Small areas containing southern willow scrub and eucalyptus can also be found. Vernal pools occur primarily on weathered alluvia soils of mesas and floodplain terraces in Proctor Valley. Recent sightings (1989 and later) of sensitive animals made on the Proctor Valley Parcel include the California Gnatcatcher, Loggerhead Shrike. Sage Sparrow. Blue Grosbeak, Two Striped Garter Snake. Rufous-crowned Sparrow and the Coastal Rosy Boa. IJ San Ysidro Mountains Parcel: The San Ysidro Mountains Parcel contains important biological resources. Coastal sage scrub can be found on 3,696 acres of this parcel. Approximately 469 acres of uniform stands of chamise occur on mesas and some gentle slopes in the Otay Lakes portion of the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel. In addition. approximately 474 acres of non-native grassland, 5 acres of coast live oak woodland, 75 acres of coast southern live oak riparian forest. 7 acres of sycamore alluvial woodland and 165 acres of southern interior cypress forest occur on this parcel. A small number of vernal pools occur on the level terraces south of the eastern arm of Lower Otay Reservoir. Most of these exist offsite on City of San Diego land. Some of the larger contiguous masses of habitat within the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel include numerous sensitive plants and animals. Recent sightings (1989 and later) of sensitive animals have been made on the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel. including the California Gnatcatcher, Blue Grosbeak and San Diego Homed Lizard. 3. Cultural/Historlcal/Paleontology Resources Several archaeological surveys have been conducted for the project.

These include: the existing quarry operation In Rock Mountatn area of the Otay Valley Parcel; the correctional facilities located off-site on Otay Mesa; and the County landfill located off-site to the west. 5. Hydrology (Floodplains) A major portion of the Otay Ranch lies within the watershed of the Otay River and its tributaries. The Otay River is a westerly flowing ephemeral stream which drains an area of approximately 145 square 'miles. It Is formed at the confluence of Dulzura and Proctor Valley Creeks and is joined along its length by the Jamul Creek (now under Otay Lake). The drainage area is divided Into the Dulzura. Otay and Coronado subunits. Upper and Lower Otay Lakes, which are owned by the City of San Diego, control drainage from the Interior or upper drainage areas. The area of the watershed upstream of Savage Dam at the Lower Otay Lake is approximately 85 square miles. Upper Otay Lake, impounded by a dam smaller than Savage, collects runoff from the 13-square mile sub-area of Proctor Valley. The Otay River channel, downstream from the Lower Otay Lake, extends across the coastal plain to San Diego Bay. The on-site canyons which serve as tributaries to the Otay River south of the Lower Otay Lake Include O'Neal and Johnson Canyons from the south and Salt Creek, Poggi Canyon and Wolf Canyon from the north. Portions of the San Ysidro Mountatns and Otay Mesa 'flow to the river. Salt Creek, which drains from the San Miguel Mountains. is also confluent to the Otay River. Due to the topography of the site. the Otay Valley drainage basin receives most of the drainage flows for the project area. With the exception of Poggi Canyon, all of the on-site drainages discharge to the Otay River on-site. Poggi Canyon discharges to the Otay River off-site to the west. Two areas on the property are located outside the watershed of the otay River. the Telegraph Canyon water shed, and the second located at the southern most portion of the property which Is within the Otay Mesa basin. The Otay Mesa basin discharges to the T1juana River. The San Ysidro portion of the site Includes large sub-basins to the southeast of Lower Otay Reservoir, the San Ysidro foothills and the Dulzura Creek Valley. Dulzura Creek, located northeast of the San Ysidro Mountains Parcel, is the main drainage course for the area October 5, 1992 Page 47 ~ ~ Otay Ranch GDP ISRP C Part I ... a-~ 0,':. /~-'.

The Resource Sensitively Analysis was prepared to provide a comprehensive analysis of all Otay Ranch's envlronemental resources. The EIR analyzed the environmental Impacts associated with the New Town Plan, and each of the eight on-site alternative plans, and four offslte alternative plans. The Resource Management Plan serves as the functional equivalent of the County's Resource Protection Ordinance (RPO). I, Resource Sensitivity Analysis A Resource Sensitivity Analysis was prepared to provide a comprehensive analysis of all of the environmental resources on the Otay Ranch propertyl. The analysis Is Intended to serve as a reference guide to assist the InteIjurlsdlctlonal Task Force In land use planning decisions. The following Is a list of the three levels of sensitMty applied to the Otay Ranch: Q LEVEL I - Low Sensitivity: Level 1 boundaries were drawn based on a compilation of maps and Information which indicate a relative absence of resources that generally has resulted from significant historical disturbance or use of the land. This category generally consists of contiguous areas that lack extensive steep slopes, have experienced a high level of disturbance and/or do not support sensitive biological habitats. Q LEVEL 2 - Moderate Sensitivity: Level 2 boundaries delineate additional areas which contain some resources and either provide a transition between disturbed and sensitive areas, or simply do not display a high degree of resource value. This category generally Includes areas which have been subjected to low to moderate levels of disturbance or contain fragmented or low to moderate quality resources. Study areas within this category may also contain biological habitat that do not support a Significant number of sensitive species. Q LEVEL 3 - High Sensitivity: Level 3 boundaries Include all areas of multiple resources and high value resources and/or areas currently thought to be critical to the Integrity of viable habitat areas. Olay Ranch Resource Sensitivity Analysis, Joint Project Team, 6112/91 (Olay Ranch Reference Document). October 5, 1992 Page 49 Otay Ranch GDP/SRP 0 Part I 2. Environmental Impact Report ... California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) for discretionary projects requlrtng the approval of state or local jurtsdlctlons. An EIR has been prepared for the City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego for Otay Ranch. The document was been prepared in accordance with all of the crtterta. standards, and procedures of CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental review guidelines of the City of Chula Vista and County of San Diego. The City of Chula Vista was designated as lead agency responsible for the preparation of the environmental documentation and for coordination with the County of San Diego and with an InteIjurtsdictional Task Force. The County of San Diego. including the Department of Planning and Land Use. Public Works. and Parks and Recreation. as a responsible agency. have provided direction in the preparation of the EIR. Additional agencies involved in the environmental review process included the City of San Diego. County of San Diego Air Pollution Control District. and the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission [LAFCO). The purpose of the Otay Ranch ElR Is to inform the public. decision makers. and regulatory agencies about the nature of the project being considered and the extent and type of Impacts the proposed project or alternatives would have on the environment If the project were to be Implemented. CEQA requires that major consideration be given to avoiding significant environmental Impacts. The responsible public agencies also remain obligated to balance possible adverse effects against other public objectives; including economic and social goals. in determining whether or not. and in what manner. a project should be approved. Because the ElR analyzes two General Plan Amendments and a GDP/SRP, CEQA guidelines indicate that the EIR focus on the environmental effects that can be expected to result from plan adoption. leaving more detailed analysis to be completed in conjunction with project speclfJc EIRs. This programmatic approach to environmental analysis allows for the "tiering" of future project EIRs on specific development proposals. Approval of subsequent plans (e.g.. SPA plans or speclfJc plans) will determine the: Q Phasing of individual villages and Infrastructure within Otay Ranch. Q Road networks within individual villages.

Mitigation measures proposed by the EIR identify the guidelines and performance standards that subsequent development proposals (iSPA Plans) shall meet In order to be considered consistent with the findings of the GDP/SRP EIR 3, Resource Management Plan The Resource Protection Ordinance (RPO) was adopted by the San Diego County Board of SupeIVlsors In May, 1989. The purpose of the Ordinance is to protect the County's wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, sensitive biological habitats. and prehistoric and historic sites. Article V of the Ordinance provides for exemptions from the Ordinance. Section 9 of Article V expressly exempts "any project located within the approximately 22,500 acre property known as Otay Ranch, if determined to be consistent with a comprehensive Resource Management and Protection program which has been adopted by the Board of SupeIVlsors for the Otay Ranch." The Resource Management Plan [RMP) serves as the functional equivalent of the County's adopted RPO for 0tay Ranch. The RMP also: i:l addresses State and Federal regulatory programs and functions as part of an overall multi-species/habitat and cultural resources management program; i:l provides the funding, phasing and ownership mechanisms necessary to effectively protect and manage onsite resources over the long term; i:l plans for coordinated, controlled public use and enjoyment of the Management Preserve to be established as part of the RMP consistent with protection of sensitive resources; and i:l by requiring irrevocable dedications of open space acreage. provides certainty that the open space will be preserved in perpetuity. In contrast, while RPO provides a tool for setting aside resource areas. it does not provide effective long-term management and implementation tools, address the need for a public access and recreation plan, or address State and Federal Regulatory issues. Without appropriate management tools. resource areas set aside as part of the land development process are often subject to inappropriate and damaging uses. These undesirable uses Include off-road vehicle activity, illegal dumping. shooting activities, and Introduction of noxious non-native plant materials Into sensitive resource areas. Such uses degrade and destroy sensitive habitats and other resources. OctDber5.1992 Page 51 . oray Ranch GDP/SRP C Part I ... The RMP provides for management, resource enhancement, and restoration, research, education and interpretive activities to ensure that resource values in areas to be preserved are maintained, and enhanced in perpetuity, In these respects. the RMP's role is similar to the Federally-mandated Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) process; however. the RMP addresses cultural, paleontologic. and recreational resource protection needs in addition to sensitive habitats, The RMP recognizes the need for regional recreation opportunities and the perceived public "rights" to recreate in open space by concentrating recreational, educational, and institutional uses in those portions of the Preserve suited to such uses. Rather than setting aside isolated open space areas (which occur under the RPO). the RMP approach provides an opportunity to establish large blocks of interconnected natural open space. By linking the Otay Ranch Management Preserve system to large and adjacent publicly owned open space lands with resource values similar to those found on the Otay Ranch property. the RMP contributes to the creation of an overall regional open space system, providing more than 35,000 acres of interconnected open space in Otay Ranch and the immediate vicinity, ... ... , , ., .:1 ... ... ... ... ... ... 14 ... ... ... ... ... ...

Page 52 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Omy Ranch GDP / SRP C Part I Chapter 7 Otay Ranch Planning Documents Section A Hierarchy of Otay Ranch Planning Documents California law requires that each County and City adopt a general plan "for the physical development of the county or city, and of any land outside its boundaries which ,.. bears relation to its planning." (Government Code Section 65300) Each General Plan must be internally consistent, and all discretionary land use plans and projects must also be consistent with the General Plan. The Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan (GDP/SRP) is a "general plan level" document jointly prepared and adopted by the County of San Diego and the City of Chula Vista. The joint preparation, processing and adoption of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan/Subregional Plan has presented opportunities and challenges, including the practical challenge of making Otay Ranch plans fit within the existing plans and processes of the two separate jurisdictions. Because Chula Vista and the County have organized their planning documents differently, the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP has a different status within each jurisdiction Within the County planning structure, the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP is contained within the Otay Subregional Plan (SRP), a part of the County General Plan (Part XXIII). Accordingly, the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP is a part of the County General Plan and has equal weight with other General Plan provisions. Within the City of Chula Vista. the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP is the planning document (General Development Plan IGDP]) required to implement the City's zoning ordinance Planned Community (PCl zone. The Otay Ranch GDP/SRP is not part of the Chula Vista General Plan. As a means of implementing the City's zoning ordinance, the GDP/SRP is consistent with, and subordinate to, the Chula Vista General Plan. SPA Level Planning Within both the City and the County, the otay Ranch GDP/SRP is implemented through an additional, more detailed, planning processes prior to the subdivision ofland. The City of Chula Vista requires the preparation and adoption of "Sectional Planning Area" plans. The County of San Diego requires "SpecifiC Plans." The requirements' of each process are substantially similar. Throughout this document, both processes are referred to as a "SPA" or as "SPA level planning."

Facility Implementation Plans: Facility Implementation Plans provide an Integrated and comprehensive analysis of the public facilities necessary to serve the Otay Ranch. Each of the 22 facility Implementation plans review applicable public goals. objectives and policies and recommend policies to govern the implementation of the Otay Ranch GDP /SRP. The plans also evaluate the existing facilities which serve the Otay Ranch Project Area and surrounding communities. The plans analyze the demand for new facilities necessary to serve the build-out of the Otay Ranch. Several GDP /SRP Goals.

This chapter defines the village as the fundamental pattern for organizing land use. Thus. the villages of atay Ranch become the "building blocks" for shaping the character and success of the community. The atay Ranch Land Use Plan strives to meld the best of "Small Town America" with positive aspects of technological advances. Simply stated. the village concept reduces automotive dependency, consolidates open space, promotes social interaction. and creates a strong sense of community and identity within Otay Ranch, ThiS planning approach moves atay Ranch to the forefront of planning for the 21st Century. The Land Use Plan. is based on current urban design philosophies 1 , emphasizing transit-oriented. pedestrian-friendly planning as a means to solve the problems associated with suburban development. By drawing on the lessons of the past. we learn from the wisdom of the American small town -- communities that worked because they were "user-friendly." decades before the phrase was invented. Otay Ranch is a carefully molded series of villages. blending neighborhoods. shops and employment opportunities with parks. schools and other civic facilities to fashion a community with a I.and Uses By Category Schools & Instnutions Industrial Commercial Residential Heartbeat of the Communny, Builder, January 1898; Brave Old World, Landscape Architecture, December 1888; Designing New Towns, Landscape Architecture, December 1988; The Search For The New Hometown, Metropolitan, March 1992; Welcome Beck To Our Town,,5an Diego Union, December 6,1992; New Traditionalism In Suburban Design, Zoning News, June 1989; Hip To Be Square, American Demographics, February 1989; The Kentlands Charratle, Producing A Town Plan In A Week, Urban Land, September 1988; in Seven Days, Designing A New Tradnional Town, The New York Times, June, 1988; A Good Piece To Uve, The Atlantic, March 1988; Whatever Became of the Public Square, Forum, July 1990; Living Smaller, The Atlantic Monthly, February 1991; Maintaining Regional Mobilny Through Land-Use Alternatives, PTI Journal, July/August 1990; Next Stop: Transit-Friendly Towns, Landscape Archnacture, July 1990; Streets Are For Sharing, Landscape Archnacture, July 1990; The Evolution 01 New Cornmunfty Planning Concepts, Urban Lane, June 1990; Winning Over The Street People, Planning, May 1991; Pedestrian Pockets, New Strategies For Suburban Growth,; Suburbia: Ready For Foot and Rail?, Landscape Archiecture, July 1990; Repent Ye Sinners, Repent, Planning, August 1989; Return To Main Street, Home Magazine, 1991; The Quest For Communfty, US News and World Report, April 1990.

Neighborhoods, built in small increments with front yards, porches and friendly streetscapes, encourage chance encounters and welcome neighborhood gatherings. Neighborhoods and village cores are arranged so residents can choose to walk. bike. drive or use public transit. A trolley system and other forms of public transit provide internal circulation and convenient access to activity centers throughout South County and the region. Shops and services are nestled in the heart of each village; churches are near homes. the post office is next door to the grocery store and just around the comer from child care and the school grounds. Stores face sidewalks. courtyards and other "public spaces" so shoppers can meet and greet one another. Town halls, public art and c1v1c buildings provide distinctive village Identities. Village cores. linked by a greenbelt system. provide trail access to other v1llages and to the open space system. A spirit of environmental stewardship dominates Otay Ranch. embodied In a vast open space system dedicated to the preservation and management of Otay Ranch's natural treasures. Approximately 60% of Otay Ranch will be set aside as open space. including a park system, a greenbelt system and an open space preserve. The Land Use Chapter of the GDP /SRP Is organized to proceed from general to specific land use Information as follows: o Goals. Objectives and Policies (Section B): This section Identifies land use goals, policies and objectives to guide the development of Otay Ranch. o Overall Land Use Plan (Section C): This section generally explains and summarizes the planning concepts which govern the Otay Ranch land use patterns. including villages. regional connections. open space systems. industrial and large scale commercial areas. .. ...

October 5, 1992 Page 65 Omy Ranch CDP / SRP C Pan II Section C - OVerall Land Use Plan The Otay Ranch Land Use Plan provides for a balance of residential. employment. and open space/recreational land uses sensitive to environmental conditions, regional tnfluences and adjacent communities. The three parcels of the property. the Otay Valley. Proctor Valley. and San Ysidro Mountains parcels. are centered on the visual. environmental. and recreational resource of the Otay Lakes. This central amenity provides a focal point for the project. The Otay Ranch Land Use Plan relates to the established urban community of Chula Vista to the west. the City of San Diego to the south, and the rural communities of the County of San Diego to the north and east. The property is linked to the South County through a ctrculation network including the SR-125, a proposed light rail transit route connecting with the regional system, and a roadway network tied to surrounding communities. A regional urban center (the Eastern Urban Center - EUC) creates the functional and symbolic center for the Otay Ranch. It contains diverse urban land uses, providing regional services. housing and neighborhood services. The urban center is close to a potential university site. and the ARCO/United States Olympic Training Center. Residential areas are grouped into "villages." The heart of the village is the "village core." The village core accomplishes two objectives not met by typical suburban development patterns: 1) villages provide a sense of community and social cohesion in a "small town" way; and 2) villages reduce dependence on the automobile. The vision of the Otay Ranch as a diverse. integrated community, is fac1l1tated by a ctrculation plan that provides for the efficient movemerit of the automobile and the opportunity for residents to use bicycles, buses and trolleys. The General Development Plan/Sub-Regional Plan Land Use MapS (See Exhibits 20, 22 and 24) identifies the location of major roadways, open space. residential, commercial. and industrial land uses. Villages are divided into specific land uses. These areas are assigned a specific number of dwelling units and a specific acreage. The conceptual location of parks. schools. and the transit reservations are also shown. The arrangement of the dwelling units permitted within planning areas may change due to environmental or site planning reasons; however. the total number of dwelling units within each village may not increase. - - - - ... - ... - - - .. - - ... 3 While the Clay Ranch Land Use Map is depicted in three separate maps, hereafter these maps are referred to as the GDPISRP Land Use Map. - October6,1992 Page 66 ...

The residential maximum density is 1 dwelling unit per acre and lot sizes vary depending on topography, with minimum lot siZe defined in Section F. L Low residential Estate lot single family residential, ranging in density from 1 to 3 dwelling units per acre. LM Low medium residential This category includes single-family detached dwellings on medium size lots. Although not a minimum or a standard, these areas are typically 7,000 square foot lots. In addition, under the concept of cluster development, single-family dwellings on smaller lots, zero lot line homes, and some single-family attached units (townhouses and patio homes) could also be consistent with this designation. LMV Low medium village This category is permitted only in large scale master planned communities containing a variety of uses, including commercial, designed and organized in a manner that encourages non-automotive travel and pedestrian orientation: a village. To ensure character differentiation and village viability, the LMV category requires specific area densities within the range of 3 to 6 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, LMV categories are accompanied by a specific density and number of homes. The density is not tied to any segment of the range. This housing type includes a wide variety of lot sizes, predominantly single family, organized in patterns which contribute to a small scale pedestrian-oriented community. . The occurrence of some attached homes within this designation is consistent with the intent, as long as the character of the development area is consistent with the typical single family neighborhood. M Medium residential This category includes small single family, detached units on smaller lots, zero lot line, patio and attached homes, such as duplexes and town homes with a limited amount of stacked flats. Densities with the range of 6 to 11 dwelling units per acre are appropriate, with densities above 8 dwelling units per acre considered multi-family for purposes of GDP/SRP planning.

M Mixed Use The most critical element of the village cores is mixed use areas. age Cora U Mixed land uses are provided in order to concentrate activities accessible to pedestrians. The creative mixing of uses enhances interaction and discourages multiple auto trips. The mixed use development category is a combination of uses, befitting an energetic town-like environment. The mixed use category promotes innovation and economic service to the village, therefore there is flexibility in the standards.

Components of the Land Use Plan The overall pattern of land uses within Otay Ranch Is defined by the following major elements: Q Villages and Rural Estate Areas Q Area Around the Lakes Q Eastern Urban Center (EUC) Q Industrial/Business Park/Freeway Commercial Q Open Space Q Parks Q Mobil1iy System . Q Potential Universiiy a. Villages A pattern of villages is proposed throughout most of the Otay Ranch. The Otay Ranch villages concentrate both higher Intensliy land uses and "people activities" toward the village core, with densities generally decreasing away from the core area. This organization of land uses promotes pedestrian travel Internally and supports transit opportunities for external trips. The design creates a sense of community within each village by attracting village residents to the village core for social, commuting, public service and shopping activities. Residential neighborhoods surround the village core and connect to it by pedestrian and circulation systems. This encourages internal. non-vehicular trips. The purpose of the village design is to provide an efficient and comfortable living environment for its residents. (Section D, Land Use Design, Character, and Policies, focuses on the village concept.) Otay Ranch contains urban villages, specialiy villages and rural estates areas: Q Urban Villages: these villages are located within the Otay Valley Parcel, adjacent to existing urban areas. These villages are transit-oriented, with higher densities and mtxed uses In village cores. An emphasis is placed on providing alternatives to the automobile, including transit (bus and light rail), alternative transportation (golf carts), and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Villages One through Eleven are urban villages. Each urban village has man-made or natural features or other amenities which prOvide a unique focus or specialiy to create a sense of identliy. While Villages 3 and 4, adjacent to Wolf Canyon, are deSignated as urban villages, their location and size limit their abiliiy to fully function as urban villages.

Vl1lages I, 5, 6, and 9 are located on the proposed light ral! transit route, and include the highest residential intensities and commercial uses to enhance transit ridership. Community services will be provided for local needs, based upon population and the respective facl1lty standards. In some instances, two villages may share services. Open spaces .conslst of neighborhood, community parks and natural features - such as canyons, and pedestrian/bicycle and equestrian trails. o Specialty Villages: these viJ1ages are located in the Proctor Valley and San YSldro Mountains Parcels. They consist of a resort village, an estate village, and transition viJ1ages (Villages 13, 15, and 14, respectively). Neighborhood commercial and community services are provided in a village core, with limited medium and higher density residential.

CJ Rural Estate Areas: Two vel)' low density residential areas are located in the easternmost portions of the Proctor Valley and San Ysidro Mountains Parcels. These areas do not contain commercial uses. b. Area Around the Lakes Although not located on the Otay Ranch property. Otay Lake is one of the most prominent features of the Otay Ranch Project Area. Portions of each of the three Otay Ranch parcels overlook the lake. providing uninterrupted views of mountatns and the ocean. The land around the lake is a desirable place for both development and recreational/open space opportunities. The area is one of great scenic beauty. providing an exceptional opportunity for housing designed to take advantage of the visual attributes of the site. The San Ysidro West Village (Village 15) located south of the lake contains 400+ acres of residential. 3.3 acres of commercial mixed use and an elemental)' school. The Resort Center located north of the lake will contain 221 + acres of resort and approximately 512 acres of residential uses. The resort center will include hotels. golf course. resort-related residential uses. clubhouse. commercial and public service uses. Planning for all areas around the lake must be coordinated into a cohesive design. A potential university site is designated on the GDP/SRP land use map west of the lake along Wueste Road. c. Eastern Urban Center A projected Otay Ranch population of approximately 79.000 creates a need for a centralized urban area to provide the regional goods and services which cannot be provided in village cores. Certain goods and services are not available in village cores because of the problems caused by permitting regional traffic into the villages. The 400 acre Eastern Urban Center and freeway commercial area are located east of SR-125. on a rise overlooking the Otay Valley Parcel. This area will provide an intense. vital activity center to include an employment base with office. retail. business park. and visitor-servir).g commercial uses; cultural. entertainment. civic. recreation activity and residential uses. The light-rail system connects the EUC to the region and some of the villages of the Otay Ranch. October 5. 1992 Page 85 Omy Ranch GDP /8RP 0 Part II ... ... d. Industrial/Business Park/Freeway Commercial The Otay Ranch Land Use Plan designates industrial/business park and freeway commercial uses primarily along the SR-125 corridor. Policies relating to Industrial, business park, and commercial uses are discussed In Section D, Land Use Design, Character, and Policies. Industrial/commercial uses are located in the following areas: ... ... Otay Ranch Regional Commercial, Office and Industrial ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Regional Office and Commercial ... ... Exhibit 26 EUC, Commercial, Industrial & Business Park Skes o There are two areas for industrial uses: one located south of the Otay Valley, adjacent to industrial areas of Otay Mesa; and one west of Paseo Ranchero at the extreme western edge of the parcel near existing industrial development. These light industrtal uses total approximately 285.5 acres. ... ... ... ... October 5, 1992 ... Page 86 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Otay Ranch CDP / SRP C Part II Q Commercial/Office: located in the EUC. These uses include the regional retail commercial. hotel, and office uses. Q A business park is located within the EUC. Q Freeway commercial uses are located north of the EUC and east of SR-125. The freeway commercial area includes a mixture of uses dependent on direct highway exposure and access. This commercial use totals approximately 106.2 acres. e. University The GDP/SRP Land Use Map identifies the general location for the potential university campus westerly of Wueste Road, with an underlying land use designation should the University of California decide not to locate In this area. The purpose of these designations is to afford the University of California the opportunity to to locate a university campus at this location, should the University seek to do so. f. Open Space and Environmental Resources The Otay Ranch GDP /SRP identifies an open space system which provides a network of natural. passive. and active recreational amenities throughout the Ranch. This network connects the villages to each other and to the region. The Otay Ranch contains a number of sensitive resource areas. Including the Otay River Valley. Salt Creek. Poggi Canyon, the San Ysidro Mountains, and the Jamul mountains. Resources Include a variety of sensitive species and habitats, many of which will be protected within the acres of open space identified on the GDP/SRP Land Use Map. The protection of significant environmental resources on the Ranch is addressed within the open space network through the following mechanisms: Q The Otay Ranch Resource Management Plan (RMP) which provides for the Identification, mapping, enhancement and maintenance of the resources within its boundary. Q Open Space easements and maintenance districts, which provide for the protection of resources outside of the RMP boundary. Q Wildlife Corridor connecting on-site and off-site regional wildllfe habitat. The Open Space components of the GDP /SRP and related policies are discussed In detail In Chapter 4. Parks. Recreation, and Open Space. and Chapter 10. Resource Protection. Conservation and Management. October 5, 1992 Page 87 --': Otay Ranch GDP ISRP C Part II ... ... >. Ol - .

These roadways are Telegraph Canyon/Otay Lakes Road; Orange Avenue - west of SR-125. Otay Valley Road/Hunte Parkway and Proctor Valley Road. Significant resources within these areas will be preserved. These corridors are further discussed in the Mobility Chapter. D Resource Management Preserve: This open space includes areas of resource preservation/enhancement. such as Wolf Canyon. the Otay Valley Regional Park, and portions of the San Ysidro and Jamul Mountains. and may cover areas within parks and scenic corridors. g. Parks The park and recreation components of the GDP /SRP and related policies are discussed in detail in Chapter 4. Parks. Recreation and Open Space. The Otay Ranch land use plan identifies four levels of parks: D Town Squares: minimum one acre parks located in some village core areas to serve village residents. D Neighborhood parks: minimum 7 acre parks servtng village residents within a 1/2 to 3/4 mile radius located within villages. providing active recreation opportunities. The Otay Ranch Parks Plan (see Chapter 4) identifies 17 neighborhood parks. D Community Parks: shared between villages. within short driving distance (1 to 2 mile service radius). Each community park should be a minimum. of 25 acres. The 'Otay Ranch Parks. Recreation and Open Space. Chapter 4. identifies 3 community parks. D Regional Parks: servtng the local community and South County region. Chapter 4. Parks. Recreation and Open Space. identifies 2 potential regional parks. including the Otay Valley Regional Park and the San Ysidro Mountain Regional Park. h.. Mobility System One purpose of the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP is to identify a circulation network of continuous routes though the ranch. providing convenient access to all villages and the region. . The circulation network provides roadways through and between the three parcels of Otay Ranch. The circulation system is comprtsed of: October 5. 1992 Page 89 Otay Ranch CDP / SRP C Part II o Regional Circulation: A system of arterials, the SR-125 highway, and the light-rail transit ltne. o Village Circulation: A system of roadways provides multiple routes wlthtn the villages of Otay Ranch. o Trails System: A comprehensive system of pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian trails to provide a non-vehicular alternative mode of transportation. The circulation policies and components of the GDP /SRP are discussed tn Chapter 2, Mobility and Chapter 4, Parks, Recreation and Open Space. - - - - - - - - ... - ... ..., ... - ... ...

A detailed description with village-specific policies for each village and rural estate area is included in Section F, Village Descriptions and Policies of this Chapter. The organization of land uses is the key to the village concept. Villages are comprised of two basic components: a central area of more intense uses, the Village Core; and surrounding areas of residential uses, the Secondary Area. Village cores contain Mixed Use (MU) and Medium-high (MH) land use categories as depicted within the GDP/SRP Land Use Map. Village cores seIVe as the focal pOint and commercial hub of the village. Village cores are centered around a main street or plaza and include the following land uses: retail/commercial, residential. neighborhood parks and other civic or community uses, such as churches, child care or senior centers. Residential neighborhoods surround the village core. and provide a range of housing opportunities ("Secondary Areas"). Otay Ranch is planned to emphasis and enhance each villages' characteristics to create neighborhoods and communities with unique identities. While the following policies apply to each village, policies should be flexibly applied to reflect the character and intensity of each village. .

Civic Presence Facllltles: Each village should contain one or more civic presence facilities within the village core. The architecture of civic presence facility may be the hallmark of the character of the village and help to create a focal point for village activity. (In some cases. a commercial building could be the focal point.) Civic presence facUities may be drawn from a wide variety of uses. including. but not limited to: libraries. community centers. a public plaza. town square or town hall. fire/police stations. cultural arts. public and/or private schools. churches. day care centers and commercial recreation facilities.

These areas will be delineated at the SPA level. f Transit PoUcies Each village is planned to facilitate alternate method of transportation. The land use and circulation patterns of urban villages are organized around transit service and facilities. A significant alternate means of transportation is the trolley system. Several components of the GDP /SRP Land Use Plan encourage the use of transit. such as: o Transit line Iight-of-ways shall be reserved at the GDP/SRP level and irrevocably dedicated at the Tentative Map level within Villages 1. 5. 6. 9 and 12. o Trolley stops and/or stations shall reserved at the GDP/SRP level and irrevocably dedicated at the Tentative Map level in Village core areas. o The park-and-Iide facility shall be located at SR-125 just north of the Eue and contain a trolley stop and station building. o The EUe shall contain a transit stop. As the intensity of the EUe increases. a second transit stop may be provided. subject to the design clitelia of the MTDB. The following policies are intended to ensure that Village cores and surrounding areas are readily accessible to facilitate a variety of modes of transportation: . o Villages shall provide for a variety of modes of transportation. including walking. automobiles. bus. rail. specialized transit and bicycles. o Transportation components. such as park-and-Iide facilities. bus stops. and the pedestrian waJkways and bike ways. shall be sited and designed to facilitate connections between transportation modes. o Provide adequate space for bus service or a feeder network to support transit within each village core. o Locate commercial uses close to prtmary Village transit stops. o Small park-and-Iide lots for village residents may be provided within the village core. Regional surface park-and-ride lots shall be located outside of villages. with feeder bus service to the transit station. o A 25-foot transit right-of-way shall be reserved at the GDP /SRP level and dedicated at the Tentative Map within Village Entry Streets designated as transit routes. October5,1992 Page 101 .. Otay Ranch GDP /SRP C Part II :~~~~ I~- , ~J- ~ ... D Bicycle parking shall be provided at transit stations and. in general. activity nodes throughout the village core. D The design of transit facilities should complement the village architecture. ... ... g. Village Street System Policies The goal of the village street system is to promote pedestrian access and to direct through-village trips around the village. This goal is achieved by creating a network of interconnected streets within each village. Such networks have the benefit of providing altemative routes to destinations and increasing the number of intersections on those routes. This reduces the tuming load at each intersection. The geometry of a dense network of streets minimizes travel distance due to the reduction of isolated areas of development and the provision of direct routing. Multiple parallel routes to the village core provide shorter and more convenient routes for pedestrians. and altemate routes for automobile traffic. The village street system is summarized below (detail on the system is located in Chapter 2. Mobility): Village Entry Streets: This street connects Arterial Roads to the village core. Shade trees shall be required along all Village Entry Streets. sited to create a visual street frame. Village Entry Streets should be as straight and direct as practical to provide visual landmarks for navigation and to create a sense of place. Promenade Street: The Promenade Streets lead directly from the residential neighborhoods to the village core. These streets are designed to collect vehicular and pedestrian traffic from the outlying neighborhoods. creating a backbone street system that ties the different paris of the village together. Promenade Streets should be as straight and direct as practical. Secondary Loop and Collector Street: These streets separate single- and multi-family areas and provide a loop system linking local residential streets with the Promenade and Village Entry Streets. Residential Streets: The Residential Streets within the single-family neighborhoods consist of a combination of double- and single-loaded local streets and cul-de-sacs. The double-loaded streets lead from the collectors to serve streets within the neighborhoods. They may be either through streets or lead to cul-de-sacs. Alleys: Alleys are permitted. Alleys may provide rear entrances for vehicles. decrease intrusions onto the residential collector streets and enable homes to be placed closer to the street. creating a pedestrian- friendly environment. ... ... ... ... ... ... ~ ~, ... ... ... ... - ... ....

Secondary entrances for large anchor buildings may be provided from parking lots located at the rear. o Parking may be provided In structures with potential for use of the ground level for retail space. L Village Parks Each village contains a neighborhood park, within or near the village core, generally at least seven acres In size. The design and character of neighborhood parks should be consistent with the character of the village. Where feasible, the park should be located near civic presence facilites such as community purpose facilities or schools to encourage joint-use of recreation and parking facilities. In addition to the seven-acre park. other neighborhood parks will be located In the village as warranted by population. Park sites are shown symbolically on the GDP/SRP Land Use Map to represent the potential park location. The precise location of these parks will be identified at the SPA level. (See Pari II, Chapter 4 for park policies.) Policies and guidelines shall be developed at the SPA level for community gardens within the designated open space areas within each urban village. 2. Industrial The majority of the Otay Ranch industrial uses are located on the mesas to the south of the Otay Valley, adjacent to industrial areas of Otay Mesa (Planning Area 18a). Industrial uses are also located to the west of Paseo Ranchero at the extreme western edge of the Otay Valley Parcel, near existing Industrial development (Plannlng Area 18b). The Industrial land use category (I) establishes light industrial uses In a business park setting. These uses generate an employment base within the Otay Ranch community, as well as the South San Diego County region; Heavy industrial areas are not included within Otay Ranch because the Otay Mesa contains an adequate subregional supply of such intense uses. This category authorizes uses such as research and development, light manufacturing, warehouse and distribution faclllties, office/showrooms and supporting uses. Industrial Policies Q The actual total square footage of permitted industrial space and floor area ratios shall be established at the SPA level. October 5, 1992 Page 105 Otay Ranch GDP / SRP a Part II ... Permissible ratios will vary depending on the parking needed to accommodate the proposed use. o The industrial category should be characterized by light industrial uses. with buildings of three stories or less. o The mass of the buildings shall be balanced with protective landscaped setbacks. open space areas and outdoor amenities such as seating areas, artwork and similar amenities. o Building locations should optimize off-site and on-site views and avoid a crowded appearance. o Arrange land uses to avoid conflicts between various industrial actMties. o Loading and service areas should be located to the rear of buildings and be screened from street view by walls, landscaping or landforms. o Provide safe and efficient access for service vehicles. Service/auto conflicts shall be minimized through proper design. o Entries shall be sensibly located and signed with respect to landscaped parkways, visitor parking areas, loading areas, and drop-off areas. o Structures fronting on public areas shall present a high quality. characteristic of a professional business park. o Landscaping shall be consistent with the professional business park image. emphasizing screening and prOviding visual interest to large building and parking expanses. o Building, parking. screen walls. hardscape. and landscape elements shall be part of a unified aesthetic theme for the business park. o Detailed design criteria shall be established for industrial uses, as well as for common elements such as monumentation, streetscape and common hardscape areas. o Complementary uses which serve the industrial area, such as limited financial uses. daily convenience and restaurants. shall be integrated lnto the land use pattern. and permitted within the industrailland use category (I). o Design criteria shall consider transit availability in industrial areas. ... ... ... ... ... .. ... .. ... .. .., .. .. ... .... ...

Regional Commercial/ Office The Eastern Urban Center (EUC) contains the most intense development in Otay Ranch and is the urban heart of the region (Planning Area 12). Uses and intensities are intended to create a lively, twenty-four hour environment. with a creative medley of uses, building types and amenities. These uses include the regional retail commercial, hotel and office uses. Retail and office development within the Eastern Urban Center is of an intensity compatible with a "downtown" urban center. The most intense development is concentrated near the trolley station(sl. with building heights and sizes gradually decreasing toward the edge of the planning area. (See Part n, Chapter 1. Section F. 12.; Eastern Urban Center [Planning Area 12] for applicable policies.) b. Freeway Commercial Adjacent to the EUC is approximately 192.5 acres of freeway commercial (Planning Area 12). The freeway commercial area provides for a mixture of uses suitable for. and dependent on. direct highway exposure, including large-scale uses which require sites primarily served by vehicular access. Typical uses permitted in the Freeway Commercial category (FC) include automobile centers; discount stores; warehouse outlets; membership clubs; and other large scale uses that require freeway exposure. Public uses such as park-and-ride and transit related services are also permitted. Freeway Commercial Policies o The actual amount and location of freeway commercial uses shall be established at the SPA level. o The freeway commercial land use category permits freeway- oriented. low scale buildings of three stories or less (heights will be established at the SPA level). The mass of the buildings shall be balanced with landscaped setbacks and landscaping within parking areas. o Setbacks. which prevent a "strip development" appearance. should be established at the SPA level. o . Landscaping shall create a well-kept and attractive commercial environment. Large parking areas shall be landscaped to minimize heat gain and break up expanses of asphalt. o Prepare a signage program for freeway commercial uses concurrent with the first SPA containing freeway commercial uses.

Potential University The University of California Regents have expressed lhelr intention to construct lhree new University of California campuses over lhe next 20 years, one of which will be sited in Soulhern California. On October 6, 1989, The Baldwin Company and lhe City of Chula Vista jointly submitted a proposal to lhe University of California Board of Regents to locate a new university campus on Otay Ranch. The proposal identified a site near Wueste Road overlooking otay Lakes and adjacent to lhe United States Olympic Training Center. During 1992, lhe City of Chula Vista and San Diego City Councils and lhe County Board of Supervisors approved resolutions supporting lhe Wueste Road location for a university, subject to several conditions; notably. that an environmental process be completed assuring lhe identification and protection of Significant resources. The GDP/SRP Land Use Map identlfies lhe general location for lhe potential university campus westerly of Wueste Road. If lhe University of California decides to located on lhe Otay Ranch. lhe exact size of lhe campus. exact location and intensity of necessary support land uses will be subject to discretionary action by lhe appropriate governmental agency. University Policies o The GDP/SRP Land Use Map shall symbolically identify a general location for a university campus westerly of Wueste Road. The general location shall include. but not be limited to. 400+/- (usable) acres adjacent to Wueste Road. The area shall also be assigned an underlying land use which shall be utilized. should lhe University of California decide not to locate in lhe area. o The University of California should be required to prepare an Environmental Impact Report which would identify and protect my significant environmental resources that cannot be mitigated. o The University of California should be required to prepare an analysis to ensure compatibility wilh adjacent villages. o If lhe university elects to locate on lhe site. lhe Resource Management Plan shall be re-evaluated to ensure lhat lhe siting of lhis facility does not interfere wilh or adversely impact lhe goals. obj ectlves and policies of lhat plan. o If the university elects to locate on the site. performance sl:ar:\dards shall be adopted to address design. access and resource protection. o If the university requires more land than designated by the GDP /SRP Land Use Map. transfers of residential density shall be examined on a case-by-case basiS.

Introduction This GDP/SRP will be implemented through the P-C (Planned Communily) zoning in the Cily of Chula Vista or Specific Plan zoning in the Counly. A Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for areas in Chula Vista will be prepared to provide detailed design and development criteria. A Specific Plan for unincorporated areas will provide detailed design and development criteria. Any zoning. SPA, or Specific Plan subsequently adopted for Otay Ranch must be consistent with this GDP/SRP, and the General Plan of the applicable jurisdiction. This GDP/SRP will be used to evaluate development applications within Otay Ranch. This GDP/SRP will also be used by applicants to guide responses to changing market conditions, economic considerations and environmental research throughout the implementation period of the plan. o SPAs are required for all areas within the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP. o Each village must be master-planned as a unit. o More than one village or planning area may be combined within a single SPA; and should demonstrate a logical connection. a. SPA requirements While the GDP/SRP establishes plan goals. objectives and policies for the land use, open space. circulation. recreation. and other components of the communily. the SPA level of planning will provide; o Detailed development/site utilization plans, including site. landscape, and grading plans at or near a tentative tract map level of detail. Grading plans must include slope ratios and spot elevations in areas of manufactured slopes. A tentative tract map(s) may be processed concurrently. o Land uses and acreages for parks. open space, schools, public/communily purpose facilities, and residential uses (including lot lines, lot size. number of units, density. and parking). o Physical features and easements. including transit reservation/ dedication must be identified. o Standards for planned public and private streets. o Development standards and detailed design guidelines, including typical building elevations for each type of structure, typical floor plans, structure, location, permitted uses, lot coverage, height and bulk requirements.

Density Calculation Densities within each land use category are expressed as a maximum I number of dweIllng units by planning area. as shown on the Project Su=ary Table. The densities are calculated to create villages which foster a lifestyle conducive to pedestrian- friendly design prtnciples. The Chula Vista General Plan contatns a 'Village" or 'V" designator far the Low-Medium land use category to acco=odate the densities associated with this type .of design. c. Density Transfer At future planning levels, the transfer of dwelling units within each village may be permitted between neighborhoods and land uses. so long as the followtng cI1teria are met: o Densities may not be transferred between villages. o The total number of units allocated for a particular village is not exceeded. except as provided for below. o The maximum density for the particular land use category is not exceeded. except as provided for below. o The planned identity of the village is preserved. including the creation of the pedestrian friendly and transit oriented environment. . o Density may not be transferred from regional op~n space. such as the Otay Valley Regional Park or the San Ysidro Mountatn Regional Park. Typically, land US<I jurisdictions express density as a range. The Otay Ranch GDPISRP Land Use Plan expressly varies from this practice by staling density as a maximum, or total. number of dwelling units. The comprehensive plan for Olay Ranch, including facility and service analyses, assumes that the maximum or total density will be achieved.

The policies reflect the unique aspects of each village based on its physicaJ attributes and location within the overall community. All policies identified tn Section D apply to each Otay Ranch village. Additional requirements are identified in Section E. Implementation. 1. Village One a. Village One Setting Village One is comprised of approxJmately 904 acres located tn the northwest corner of the Otay Valley Parcel. south of Telegraph Canyon Road between the western property edge and the proposed extension of La Media Road. Telegraph Canyon is a broad. flat canyon to the north and Poggi Canyon is a steeper canyon to the south. Village One is located on a broad mesa. climbtng gently from west to east. Open Space and Habitat: The southern edge of the village consists of the undulating slopes of Poggi Canyon. Due to farmtng on the Otay Valley Parcel, the natural habitat of the canyon contains varying levels of sensitivity, with areas of significant coastal sage scrub habitat on the western edges of the village. The canyon edge consists of three conditions: 1) significant habitat and slope; 2) degraded habitat and. slope; and 3) no habitat with slope (see GDP/SRP Land Use Map). Land Use: Surroundtng land uses tnclude a medical center and the planned community of Sunbow to the west of the village, Southwestern College and exlsttng residential neighborhoods to the north, and Villages FIve and Two to the east and south. Village One contatns a 10 acre parcel not tncluded withtn the Otay Ranch ownership and borders on three sides a 5-10 acre parcel south of Telegraph Canyon Road. A portion of Village One is located tmmediately adjacent to the community of Sunbow, and is separated from the core of Village One by Paseo Ranchero. This relationship presents an opportunity to create a positive and compatible relationship between Sunbow and Village One west. Visual: Scenic values extend along Telegraph Canyon Road and East Orange Avenue, identified tn the GDP/SRP as open space scenic corridors. The village contatns views to the surroundtng mountatns to the northeast and east. Relationship to Other Otay Ranch Villages: Village One Is located west of Village Five, across La Media Road. This close relationship presents an opportunity to create a positive synergism between the two villages. October 5,1992 Page 117 Olay Ranch GDPjSRP C PurtH .. b. Village One Description ..

Location between two scenic canyons/corridors with undulating edge conditions and areas of sensitive habitat. . Linkage and compatibility with Village Five. . Views of the surrounding mountains to the northeast and east. . Location along a proposed light rail transit line. Q The area west of Paseo Ranchero Road shall be compatible with the adjacent Sunbow development. The identity of this area should reflect the proximity to Sunbow, and may differ from the identity of the remainder of the village. Village Core Policies: Village One will be developed in the initial phases of the Otay Ranch project. The design character of the village has been studied at a preliminary level. Therefore, the village core identity and form is based upon a traditional "maln street" character, with multi-village retail serving at one end as an anchor, and a community purpose facility or public use anchoring the other. D The main street theme shall organize commercial. office and public/quasi-public uses in a linear fashion along a small scaled, tree-lined street with parking on both sides. While some parking may be visible from the street. it would be predominantly located to the rear of the buildings. Arcades. alleys. patios and similar spaces will provide pedestrian access from rear parking areas to the front entrances. D Right-of-way fortransit shall be reserved at the GDP/SRP level and trrevocably dedicated at the Tenative Map level. D The number of units identified in the village core is a minimum and may not be reduced. D A trolley/transit stop shall be reserved at the GDP/SRP level and irrevocably dedicated at the Tenative Map level in the village core. D Some services for users outside the village may be provided in the village core. Parks and Open Space Policies: Application of the 3 acres per 1,000 residents local park standard would result in the development of 26.5 acres of local parks in Village One. To satisfy this requirement. 17.5 acres of neighborhood park/town square are planned. The remaining obligation is satisfied through the provision of community parks in October 5. 1992 Page 119 Otay Ranch GDP /SRP c Part II ... Villages 2, 10 and the EUC. (See Chapter 4, Parks, Recreation and Open Space concerning the distribution of local park acreage.)

Cl Natural open space areas adjacent to Poggi Canyon identified on the GDP/SRP Land Use Map shall be preserved outside of individual private lots. Natural open space character along the canyon shall be based upon the concept developed in the Overall Ranch Design Plan (requirements set forth in Section E, Implementation) and refined in the Village Design Plan for this village. Cl Setbacks and landscaping shall be provided along Telegraph Canyon Road/Poggi Canyon in keeping with open space scenic corridor guidelines which will be developed in the Overall Ranch Design Plan. Other VUlage One Policies: Cl A visual analysis with photo simulations shall be performed at the SPA level to assess visual impacts of development adjacent to Telegraph Canyon Roadto the western portion of Poggi Canyon. The analysis shall show the natural grade of the area and the topography after grading. Cl Landform grading guidelines for the area along Poggi Canyon and Telegraph Canyon Road shall be developed as part of the Village Design Plan at the SPA level. These guidelines shall apply to areas adjacent to natural open space. Cl Linkages with Village 2 should be identified to coordinate access needs.

Eastern Urban Center Setting The Eastern Urban Center (EUC) is approximately 439 acres located in the center of the Otay Valley Parcel. The topography in this area consists of several broad knolls. The EUC is positioned at the center of the Otay Ranch community. where the three major circulation systems converge. These three systems include the open space network. the proposed SR-125 highway and the proposed light rail transit system. Open Space and Habitat: This prominent site will be visible from many of the developed portions of the ranch. The area has been extensively farmed and is therefore devoid of sensitive habitat. Land Use: The area is currently surrounded by vacant farm land and will be surrounded by Otay Ranch villages. SR-125 is proposed to form the western boundary of the EUC. Visual: The EUC is situated along the higher elevations of SR-125. Therefore, it commands views in all directions of the mountains and the ocean. Relationship to Other Otay Ranch Villages: The EUC is located adjacent to SR-125 on its western edge. The EUC is south of Village 11, west of Village 10, and north of Village 9. This is the central commercial and office node for the entire ranch and will be physically linked with all other villages. b, Eastern Urban Center Description The EUC is an urban center, serving regional commercial. financial, professional. entertainment, and cultural needs. This prime location is designated as the Eastern Urban Center to announce its role" as the heart of the eastern territories in South San Diego County. The center will be a viable and intense mixture of uses that will act as a magnetic downtown, drawing residents, visitors and businesses. The center will be composed of buildings of varying orientations. It will contain specialty land uses. as well as shopping and entertainment uses. Landmark architecture will be encouraged to create a pronounced identity. An internal circulation system will provide for pedestrians. bus and trolley connections. This" system will provide efficient access throughout the Eastern Urban Center and to the ultimate trolley line through this region.

Resort Village Setting The Otay Lakes Resort Village is comprised of approximately 783 acres located to the north and above Lower Otay Lake. The land area consists of a broad mesa sloping to the south. broken by several arroyos. Long fingers of the relatively flat mesa extend north into the Jamul Mountains, becoming part of steeper slopes. This village includes the 135 acre Birch Family Estate on the westem side of Upper Otay Lake. Open Space and Habitat: Village 13 contains areas of sensitive habitat, including vemal pool areas. a stand of acanthamintha and coastal sage scrub. Steep slopes exist north of the mesa and in the arroyos. Wildlife corridors exist in the eastem end of the village. The Chula Vista Greenbelt and the Otay Valley Regional Park Focused Planning Area include and surround the lake. Land Use: Surrounding land uses include an inactive quarry operation to the east, and EastLake Vistas and the ARCO/U.S. Olympic Tralnlng Center to the west. across the lake. The Upper Otay Lake and Birch Family Estate are northwest of the resort. The lake and adjOining land to the existing roadway is owned by the City of San Diego. At the east end of the lake. on City of San Diego property, there is a temporary ultralight gliding and parachuting airport. Visual: The Resort Village area contains great scenic beauty and is highly visible from surrounding areas. The village is also visible from the Olympic Training Center, Otay Lakes Road and the south side of the lake in some areas. Otay Lakes Road is a scenic corridor. The village contains distant views to the surrounding mountains. and to the Lower Otay Lake and Otay Mountain to the south. Relationship to Other Otay Ranch Villages: The Resort Village is located in a somewhat isolated position, physically separated from the village in Proctor Valley (to the north). the Estate Village (south ~cross the lake), and the urban villages of the Otay Valley Parcel. Water Quality: The protection of Lower Otay Lake. a valuable water resource. is of paramount concem. Various methods of insuring its protection must be examined and evaluated for implementation in conjunction with the development of this village. b. Resort Village Description The Resort Vil1age will reflect a village concept similar to other resorts such as La Quinla, California; Sun Valley. Idaho: and Vall. Colorado.

Proctor Valley Village (Village 14) a. Proctor Valley Village Setting This approximately 829 acre specialty village is nestled in the south sloping valley which encompasses Proctor Valley Road and leads into the country town of Jamul. It is bounded to the east and west by steep slopes and signjficant landforms, specjfically San Miguel Mountain to the northwest, and the Jamul Mountain to the east. This village is located immediately northeast of the Upper Otay Reservoir. between the City of Chula Vista. and Jamul. Proctor Valley is physically and visually isolated from the Otay Valley Parcel and Jamul. Open Space and Habitat: The entire valley has been subject to varying degrees of disturbance from grazing. off-road vehicles and unauthorized trash dumping. However. Significant resources in the form of coastal sage scrub, steep slopes on the surrounding hillsides. vernal pools and streambeds/wetlands occur in the valley. There are also large areas of less sensitive chaparral. A significant wildljfe corridor occurs near the center of the valley and a local corridor forms the north edge of this planning area. Land Use: This valley is surrounded by farmland. water and open space. Within a mile of the north end of the valley. there are one acre lots in the Echo Valley section of Jamul. Hidden Valley Estates was recently approved for the area. with lots smaller than one acre. Southwest of Proctor Valley is the recently approved master planned community of Salt Creek which is to be built within the City of Chula Vista Visual: Scenic values extend throughout the valley. Views of the arroyo. San Miguel and Jamul Mountains as well as the upper Otay Lake support c1assjfjcation of Proctor Valley Road as a scenic corridor. Views to Mexico are available on clear days. Large electrical transmission lines impair valley views south. Due to the surrounding hllls and landforms, the Valley area is generally not visible from the adjacent areas. Relationship to Other Otay Ranch Villages: The Proctor Valley Village is physically and visually isolated from other villages. However. Proctor Valley is situated to provide commercial and public services to the residents of the Jamul Rural Estate Area (Planning Area 16). OctDber 5, 1992 Page 181 amy Ranch GDP / SRP 0 Part II ... ~ b. Proctor Valley Village Description Proctor Valley is a .specialty village" (See Part II. Chapter 1. Section C) which seIVes as a transition from the more urban uses of the west to the more rural areas of Jamul. Specialty Villages possess many of the characteristics of Urban Villages. but achieve the desired village Identity through means more appropriate for their unique topography and location. The village has a low intensity character. with an emphasis on low density single family residential 10cal-seIVing commercial and public and community purpose facilities. and higher density residential uses in the village core. Because It Is relatively isolated. the village functions as a self-contained service area. ... - ... It Is intended that the village focus on some type of recreational theme. This village may be established with a golf club at Its core. using a low profile and casual style of architecture on a promment site near the village core. The golf club could set the overall theme for the village which could include the club and associated recreational facilities such as tennis and swimming. The Golf Club could be surrounded by higher density housing. Alternatively. the Proctor Valley Village may be established as an equestrian-oriented community. with equestrian facilities at Its core. utilizing low-profile architecture. The equestrian uses would establish a theme for the entire village. The Proctor Valley village core will have commercial and recreation activities designed to seIVe the entire Proctor Valley area. thereby reducing out-of-valley trips. The village will have the custom look that generally originates from pockets of residential, wrapped by a golf course and surrounded by natural/landscaped open space. Residential areas on the periphery of the village will relate to the _ topographic conditions and will generally be lower density.

In hillside areas. development should be clustered to provide lower densities on steeper slopes. o The unique characteristics of Proctor Valley. in particular the isolated wide valley. present an opportunity for specialized recreational land uses. o Final development areas shall be adjusted to accommodate the width of regional wildlife corridors. Affected dwelling units can be transferred to less environmentally sensitive areas durtng SPA level planning. o The most northern residential area should provide a transition to the more rural areas to the northeast, incorporating the larger lots next to the open space corridor. o Minimize the width of Proctor Valley Road and encourage slower speeds to avoid creating a barrier which bisects the community. o All buildings should be low profile and predominantly horizontal in nature. o Utilize building colors which harmonize with the natural surroundings. Vlllage Core Policies: o Create a village core with sufficient intensity to provide the facilities needed to establish a community focus: a viable. commercial center, elementary school, multi-family residential uses, parks and a focal point for public assembly. o The vl11age core wl11 include a variety of housing types. Residential uses up to. medium density (6-11 du/acre) are appropriate close to the village core. Affordable housing may be accommodated through limited high intensity housing in the village core. Affordable housing will be provided in accordance with the provisions of the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP Housing Chapter (Pari II. Chapter 3). Parks and Open Space Policies: Application of the 3 acres per 1,000 residents standard would result in the development of 16.5 acres oflocal parks in the Proctor Valley Village. To satisfy this requirement, 10.7 acres of neighborhood parks/town square are planned. The remaining obligation is satisfied through the provision of community parks in Villages 2, 10 and the EUC.

Q Conservation and wildlife corridors shall be incorporated into the design and may also serve to separate the village development areas from surrounding areas. The design and location of these wildlife corridors should be consistent with the Wildlife Corridor Study and the RMP. Wildlife corridors may be added or widened. as a result of the study. reducing development acreage (see Section E. Implementation for Density Transfer provisions). Q The golf course will be sensitively located to preserve as many natural features as possible and provide for wildlife movement where appropriate. Higher intensity residential uses should be clustered around the golf course. Q The GDP/SRP land Use Map depicts the general location and approximate acreage of the golf course. Final environmental studies and site studies at the SPA level may suggest variation in routing. location and precise acreage. These modifications are permissible. as long as the character of the adjacent development does not change significantly. Q Building and landscape materials used in this area should reflect the natural environment and be complimentary to the existIng natural setting. Q In keeping with the low intensity character and isolated setting. development should reflect the natural landforms. with natural contour grading techniques employed including: . Recontouring and slope variation. . Smooth transitions at tops and toes of slopes. rather than harsh geometric slope banks and pads. . Rounded. finished contours. Other Proctor Valley Policies: Q Village 14 shall not be approved until a publicly or privately- initiated General Plan Amendment (GPA) has been processed for the adjacent properties which identifies the ultimate land uses: the needed services, facilities and roads, a drainage plan for reservoir protection; and how sensitive resources will be preserved. As an alternative to an approved GPA for the adjacent properties, the Village 14 analysis shall include the long term land uses, residential densities, and facility/service requirements for those adjacent properties that relate to the Village 14 Proctor Valley Specific Planning Area.

Topography is varied, with a broad bowl area in the eastern end of the Village. The rest of the Village contains a series of ridges and mesas, broken by drainage courses. Open Space and Habitat: This planning area contains a wide variety of habitat including expanses of non-sensitive chapperal, sensitive coastal sage scrub, intermittent streams, which contain sensitive wetlands and Southern Interior Cypress. There are several occurrences of vernal pools along the village edge and immediately offsite. A number of wildlife corridors occur across the site, including a critical regional corridor which lies at the east edge of the Village. Land Use: The village is surrounded by undeveloped open space, except for a gliderport, north of the village at the east end of the lake. Savage Dam and proposed Otay Valley Regional Park are situated at the west end of the village. A 400+ acre parcel, owned by the Helix Land Company, is located immediately south of the village planning area Visual: The planning area consists of variable sloping topography with slopes facing various directions, providing views north to the lake and Jamul and San Miguel portions of the property. Other areas have limited views to the south and Otay Mountain. The eastern areas include some views to the east and Lyon's Peak.

Jamul Rural Estate Area Setting The Jamul Rural Estate Area is comprised of approximately 1.117 acres, excluding the vast open space preserve to its south. The Rural Estate Area is located immediately south of the community of Jamul and includes a portion of Jamul. It is just to the northeast of the Proctor Valley Village. The area contains broad flat areas, as well as ridges and valleys which climb to the south as pari of Callahan Mountain. NOTE: This 20 acre area adjacent to the existing development within the community of Jamul. north of Proctor Valley Road, is designated Planning Area 19. This planning area is discussed in conjunction with Planning Area 16. within this section because of its immediate proximity to Planning Area 16. and to its relatively small size. However, unlike Planning Area 16. Planning Area 19 will not require the preparation of a SPA Plan and the area is planned for 1 acre minimum lot sizes. Graphically, Planning Area 19 is depicted in combination with Planning Area 16 on Exhibit 68. Open Space Habitat: The northern edge of the area is defined by a broad drainage area and wetlands. The bulk of the remaining area is heavily disturbed coastal sage scrub. Sensitive plants occur in the highest elevations along the southern edge of the area. Land Use: Developed areas north of the Rural Estates Area predominately contain one acre lots. with the some as small as one half acre. The area to the east is the Daley Ranch Agricultural Preserve. The area to the south is grazing land owned by the BLM and the Otay Ranch. Visual: Scenic values abound in the Rural Estates Area. with views to the Miguel and Jamul Mountains and Lyons Valley to the east. Pastoral views of the Daley Ranch and the Tecate Mountain are present along the eastern edge of the area. Relationship to Other Vlllages: This area will rely on the Proctor Valley Village for some commercial activities. However, this area relates most strongly to the exiSting country town of Jamul. b. Jamul Rural Estate Area Description The Jamul Rural Estate Area is a rural, low-density residential community. Permitted development will be in the least sensitive locations. Plan refinement will occur after additional topographic and environmental work is completed at the SPA level. Homesites will be designed with consideration of environmental and visual factors. Because of the relatively few number of dwelling units. it is not anticipated that a village core is needed in this planning area. A complementary pattern of two and three acre average size lots are planned. The two acre average size lot (with a two-acre October 5. 1992 Page 193 Otay Ranch GDp/SRP C Part I1 ... minimum) will be located in tbe least sensitive areas where tbe terrain is gentle and closest to existing one acre lots.

San Ysidro East Rural Estate Area Setting The San Ysidro East Rural Estate Area is comprised of approximately 1.543 acres. including the open space area between Little and Big Cedar Canyons. The area is located on a topographically varied mesa in the southeastern corner of Otay Ranch. The area lies just south of the intersections of Otay Lakes Road and Highway 94. Open Space and Habitat: Several deep stream beds cross the site. containing significant rare vegetation. including Engleman Oak. Tecate Cypress and wetland vegetation. A large portion of the area has been disturbed by years of grazing activity, resulting in large areas of coastal sage scrub. However. due to higher elevations in this area. few gnatcatchers have been found. Land Use: The property surrounding this area is undeveloped open space and farm land. except the Thousand Trails campground at the mouth of Big Cedar Canyon. The BLM controls the land south of the area and it is anticipated to remain in open space. Visual: There are numerous views of the surrounding mountains, including Otay Mountain. Callahan Mountain and Tecate Mountain. Many areas also have views into steep canyons or across the broad Jamul Valley. Relationship to Other Villages: This area relates to the San Ysidro West vlllage for village core services, including commerCial, school and recreation. Otherwise. this large lot rural area remains distant from other parts of Otay Ranch. b. San Ysidro East Rural Estate Area Description The San Ysidro East Rural Estate Area contains ranch sites considerably larger and more rural than elsewhere in Otay Ranch. This area is a special. rural low-density residential area. creating a casual living environment. Development areas are in the least sensitive locations. The land use plan will be refined after additional topographic and environmental work is completed at the SPA level. Homesites will be specifically designed with consideration of environmental and visual factors. Since the San Ysidro East Rural Estate Area will be a low-density residential area, it is not anticipated that a village core is needed. A complementary pattern of four, six and eight acre average size lots are planned. These lots will extend over restricted open space area but home development will be confined to unrestricted areas. The average lot sizes increase as the topography becomes more rugged. The terrain is generally more gentle in the north and steeper toward the south. OctDber 5, 1992 Page 199 Omy Ranch GDp!

Industrial Planning Areas a. Mesa Industrial Area (Planning Area I8a) Mesa Industrial Area Setting The Mesa Industrial Area is comprised of approximately 216 acres and is located adjacent to and north of Brown Field and Lone Star Road. This area is primarily in the City of San Diego and extends north to the southern top edge of the Otay River Valley. Johnson Canyon defines the eastern edge. It is the southwestern most portion of Otay Ranch. Open Space &. Habitat: For years, the area has been farmed and grazed, resulting in a disturbed grassland. Vernal pools exist primarily near the rim of the valley. Land Use: A Navy communications fac1I1ty is adjacent to this area. Brown Field is southeast of the area and a farming and trucking fac1I1ty is located south of the site. Just east of the site is the Donovan State Prison. Visual: This fiat site has views east to Otay Mountain and north across the Otay River Valley to Rock Mountain. Relationship to Other Villages: This area is separated from the rest of the ranch. It relates. in character, to the industrial areas of the Mesa, in the County and City of San Diego. Mesa Industrial Area Description The area is planned to provide large space for light industrial uses which produce relatively low traffic volume (100 ADTs or less). Some service uses may intermingle with . the industrial uses, however, no residential uses are planned. These industrtal parks are planned to promote pedestrian and bicycle movement by positioning bulIdings closer to streets with entrances and plazas, scaled for pedestrian movement. b. Paseo Ranchero Industrial Area (Planning Area I8b) The Paseo Ranchero Industrial Area is comprised of approximately 69.7 acres located in the southwest comer of the Otay Valley Parcel, west of Paseo Ranchero Road and north of the Otay River Valley. Open Space &. Habitat: Existing areas of coastal sage scrub and biological res01,U'ces occur in some areas on the slopes of the river valley. October 5, 1992 Page 205 ..

I I I I I Otay Ranch GDP / SRP 0 Part II Chapter 2 Mobility Section A Introduction The Otay Ranch Mobility Plan provides a comprehensive, efficient, and safe system for a variety of transportation modes. This system completes and complements planned and existing regional systems. Otay Ranch's western boundary is within a mile of 1-805 and is connected to it by three major arterials. The project will complete the connection of the Otay Mesa with Chula Vista by providing three north-south arterials and SR-125. Links with rural county areas are provided and improved along Proctor Valley Road and Otay Lakes Road. Automobile oriented improvements do not define the entire scope of improvements. Rather, they are only one component of an integrated mobility system, which includes bicycles, carts,! trails, pedestrian trails, fixed guideway transit and bus systems. Goals, Policies and Objectives Section B GOAL: PROVIDE A SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WITHIN OTAY RANCH WITH CONVENIENT LINKAGES TO REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ELEMENTS ABUTI1NG THE OTAY RANCH. Objective: Objective: Objective: Ensure timely provision of adequate local circulation system capacity in response to planned growth, maintaining acceptable levels of service (WS). Plan and implement a circulation system such that the operational goal of Level of Service "C" for circulation element arterial and major roads and intersections can be achieved and maintained. Internal village streets/roads are not expected to meet this standard. Encourage other transportation modes through street/road design standards within the village, while accommodating the automobile. Design standards are not focused on achieving LOS. standards or providing auto convenience. On roads where posled speeds exceed 25 mph, ssparate trails will be provided for cart travel.

This is done to further encourage use of alternative modes of transportation. Village Entry Streets These divided roadways provide the "gateways" into the villages and are typically two lanes on each side of a median. They provide the only ingress and egress from the village to the arterial and/or major roads. One or more of these roads will visually focus on the village core/mixed use area. These roads extend from the Circulation Element Road to the Vlllage Collector street, "alternate route" through the village. These roads always provide for pedestrian and alternate modes of transportation outside of the roadbed. In some villages these roads also reserve space for the future trolley. Policy: Policy: Policy: Policy: Village entry streets should incorporate medians and be landscaped to reinforce village character and identity. Direct driveway access shall be precluded on primary village, promenade, or collector streets except for commercial and multiple family parking areas. Selected streets should provide direct visual access to the village core. Design streets to give balance to the needs of the various modes of transportation using the street. Intersections should be designed to encourage pedestrian movement' and" reduce vehicle speed while ensuring public safety and providing for emergency vehicle access. Village Core Streets These undivided roads provide the link between the village entry and the mixed use area. These roads are always within the core of the village. Parallel parking is provided along the sides of the roadway where residential development fronts onto the street. In areas without street fronting residential development, only emergency parking is provided. Light rail transit right-of-way is reserved adjacent to village core streets, along specified routes in Villages I, 5, 6 and 9. Promenade Streets Promenade streets provide the most direct route from the residential areas to the village core. The promenade designation comes from the pedestrian, double tree lined path which parallels October 5, 1992 Page 213 Otay Ranch CDP jSRP C Part II the street. Carts are accommodated withtc a strtped lane on the street. Street parking is provided along the street, wherever residential units abut. Policy: Promenade streets should accommodate adjacent or integrated pedestrian, bikeway and alternate vehicles, with a double tree row at the pedestrtan element to enhance pedestrtan scale. ""I Main Street/Plaza Streets These core area streets promote a quality urban village and pedestrtan oriented character. Carts, bikes and automobiles travel slowly tc the same lanes. The road is buffered from wide walks by parallel or diagonal parktcg. In deSignated villages, right-of-way is set aside for future transit use. .. .. Residential Collector .. These streets ring the village core although the core uses may be on both sides of the street. The collector is tctended to provide an alternate route around the core area. Residential units usually abut both sides of the road, therefore parking occurs along both sides. Cart travel and bikes are accommodated in strtped lanes tc the road. .. '"'I Residential Streets Residential streets occur throughout the village. These streets have homes on one or both sides. Parktcg will be provided along the side or sides of the street. Carts and bikes travel in the roadway without a specially designated lane. .. .. . Policy: Cul-de-sacs are permitted if, at the end of the cul- de-sacs, pedestrtan, bike and cart access remain open to a link to the village core or other desirable uses. Dead-end cul-de-sacs are permitted only tc perimeter locations. .... Alleys .. In small lot single family, multi-family and mixed use areas, alleys may be appropriate. Alleys provide garage and service access. Pedestrtan, bike and cart travel areas are not provided tc alleys. .. Rural Standards ..

Park Facility System. Polley: Polley: Objective: Polley: Polley: Poliey: Section C A four-tiered system of public parks is provided through town squares and neighborhood, community and regional parks. This system will provide: 1. compatible park amenities within the town square parks; 2. active play facilltles withtn the neighborhood parks; 1 This policy is intended to be implemented w~hin each village, thai is, each village should provide a sufficient neighborhood and/or community park land to enable Olay Ranch to meet the standard. However, community psrks cannot be provided incrementally within each village because of the size and locaIion of the planned community psrks. The GDPISRP Identifies community parks, averaging 25 acres, i1 three Villages (ViDage2, 10 and 12). Accordingly, tt is recognized that during the bulld-out of Olay Ranch the actual provision of neighborhood and community park will temporarily exoeed or lag behind the requirements of the policy, depending on the timing of the provision of communly psrks. This timing and distribution problem is compounded by the GDPISRP provision thai neighborhood psrks in urban villages should be alleast 7 acres in size. Some uman vi1lages do not contain sufficient populalion to warrant a 7 acre park. Aooordingly, neighborhood and community park acreage from other urban villages will be utilized to provide 7 acre faciltties in smaller villages. October 5. 1992 Page 241 Omy Ranch GDP /SRP C Part H 3. community-level playing fields and complexes within the community parks; and 4. region-wide active and passive recreational areas within the Otay Valley Regional Park and San Ysidro Mountain Regional Park. The Otay Ranch trail network connects the park system and the villages of Otay Ranch. This network of pedestrian walks, hiking/biking trails and equestrian trails links parks with each village. This linkage is a key design concept for Otay Ranch and will further reduce reliance on the automobile for local transportation needs. The location of parks requires consideration of the amount and location of physical spaces, service standards, service radius, co- location of land uses and other design issues. Usable park acreage, for local parks, should generally conform to the follOwing criteria: playing fields and areas designated for built facilities should be graded to a 2% slope; recreational lawn areas should not exceed a 4% slope; perimeter areas should not exceed a 3: 1 slope; and unique or desirable land forms should be retained and integrated into the park design, with credit toward park requirements. A total of 14,256 acres of open space is provided throughout the Otay Ranch, consisting of local and regional open space. The County of San Diego park standards require 15 acres per 1,000 population of regional park land and 15 acres per 1,000 population of local park land. The City of Chula Vista and County of San Diego require the dedication of 3 acres per 1,000 population of local parks. In accordance with the 3 acres per 1,000 population park dedication requirement and a projected build-out of approximately 80,000 residents, the Otay Ranch will provide 240 acres of local parks. Pursuant to the County of San Diego standard of providing an additional 12 acres of local park lands and open space, the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP provides in excess of 12 acres per 1,000 population of local open space. The Otay Ranch GDP /SRP meets this requirement through the provision of 956 acres on a ranch- wide basis, exclusive of regional park facilities, by providing the following: open space buffers along arterials, open space corridors through Village 7, 10, 11 and the Eastern Urban Center, and hiking and riding trails in the villages, the Management Preserve, town squares, and other areas designed to provide recreational opportunities and visual relief to the Otay Ranch residents. In addition. pursuant to the County of San Diego standard of 15 acres of regional park per 1.000 population, Otay Ranch will provide a minimum of 1,195 acres of regional park land.

These parks average one acre In size. Town Square park facllities may Include tot lots. playground equipment. turf areas. picnic areas and sim1lar active and passive recreation areas and improvements. Town Square parks will provide a focal point for the village center and reflect a pedestrian design and urban character due to their proxlm1ty to higher density residential and commercial uses. These parks will be private parks and will be owned and maintained by a central business district (or simllar private maintenance entity). Guidelines for these parks shall be developed at the SPA level. Park dedication credit will be permitted fo- these parks. 2. Neighborhood Parks: Neighborhood parks are located to serve people within a 1/2 to 3/4 mlle radius within each residential v1llage. These parks seIVe the day-to-day recreational needs of local residents. Each neighborhood park should be a minimum of 7 acres. with an average size of 10 acres. and be sited In conjunction with a school site wherever feasible. Neighborhood park fac1l1ties typically Include tot lots. parking. restrooms/malntenance bulldlngs. playground equipment and play areas. The neighborhood parks are located In or adjacent to the village core. within the residential areas of the village. Pedestrian tra1ls are provided to link these neighborhood parks to the residential neighborhoods. In the more populated villages. neighborhood parks may be supplemented by town squares. 3. Community Parks: Community parks are located to serve the residents of multiple villages within an approximately 1 to 2 mile radius. Each park should be a min1mum of 25 acres and offer Intense recreational fac1l1ties such as athletic complexes. multi-purpose fields. court activities. large swimming pools and areas for outdoor active and passive recreation. Actlv1ties and amenities may Include softball. youth baseball. soccer. tennis. basketball. volleyball. racquetball. community bulldlngs/facllities. famlly and group picnic areas. and other large scale areas for organized active and passive recreation. They are planned to serve the active recreational needs of multiple villages. Three community parks are planned for Otay Ranch within Village 2. Village 10 and the EUC. These park locations are linked to regional parks and open spaces. 4.. Regional Parks: Regional parks are areas of natural quality used for nature oriented outdoor recreation. The primary purpose of these parks is to preserve and Interpret sensitive environmental resources. and make these resources available for publ1c recreational activities and enjoyment. Regional parks may Include recreational actlv1ties such as camping. riding and hiking trails. nature and interpretive centers. picnic areas. golf courses. active and Informal play areas and natural October 5. 1992 Page 243 Otay Ranch GDP jSRP C Part II open areas.

Section D Private and Commercial Recreation Section E PIivate recreational facllities can supplement the public parks and recreation system. The size of ptivate recreation facilltles may range from an indlvldual amenity such as a swimming pool serving a portion of a project. to a multi-use recreation center serving an entire neighborhood or community. Prtvate recreational facilities may receive up to a fifty (50) percent credit toward satisfying the local park requirements within County areas. Commercial recreation activities are encouraged to augment and enhance services available to the future residents of Otay Ranch and other residents in the region. Commercial recreation uses such as golf courses. tiding stables. model airplane ports. skating links etc. may be approptiate for location within Otay Ranch. Certain commercial operations may also be approptiate for location in town square. community or regional parks. Consideration should be given to special purpose parks such as nature interpretive centers. bicycle parks. botanical gardens and prtvately operated amusement parks such' as water slides and miniature golf courses. Ctitetia for the location of commercial ventures in town squares. community and regional parks will be developed in conjunction with the approptiate agency. Open Space Natural Open Space The majotity of natural open space and regional parks within Otay Ranch are the subject of the Resource Management Plan (RMP) (See Part II. Chapter 10: Resource Protection. Conservation. and Management).

Riding and Hiking Trails The mobl11ty and recreational trail network provides a link between the various otay Ranch parks. village cores. activity areas. open space and pOints of Interest; forming a comprehensive network. This system Is augmented by an alternative transportation network and road system that Is more fully described In Pari II. Chapter 2: Mobility. The following are the elements of this comprehensive trail network. Regional TraI18: Rural trails will accommodate hiking, biking and equestrian travel depending upon gradient and adjacent environmental sensitivity. They are located within all the major open space systems (Management Preserve and Regional Park) and will link to offsite regional trails. Within the larger open space areas. trans will accommodate loop trips of 1/2 hour. 1 hour and 2 hour trips. Regional trails are Intended to link open space areas to the urban core. Where trails take on a more urban character, horses may be prohibited. South of the resort site. along the northern edge of Otay Lake. the existing roadbed will be converted to a bike and walk way. Regional Bike Ways: Regional bike ways will be designated In each direction. along all circulation element roads In Otay Ranch. to cany bicycle tralIic. These will connect to exlsttng and proposed offslte bike lanes and access each Village. VUJage TraI18: Within each village. a complete system of trails and walks will connect the major areas of each village and provide access to adjacent villages and regional trails and bike systems. These village trails provide a direct link to the village core. Trails and walks for pedestrians. bikes and alternative transportation will occur within and outside of the roadbed as more fully illustrated In the Mobility Chapter. 4.

Require, as a basis of approval, discretionary development projects to provide or contribute toward the provision of all public facilities necessary to serve the development concurrent with need. Residential and non-residential land uses that necessitate and benefit from new capital facilities should pay the proportionate cost of constructing those facilities. However, residents of Otay Ranch should not be expected to pay exactions for capital facilities unless the facUlty costs are spread to other new development which will be served by the facility, regardless of whether that development occurs within or outside of Otay Ranch. Promote the use of turn-key programs, reimbursement agreements and other means of requtrlng new development to ensure that facilities are constructed and available concurrent with need. Consider the use of.development agreements/public benefit agreements and other vesting mechanisms to assure the ttmely provision of needed public facilities and services. Require development projects to participate in established regional development impact fee programs for the funding of that portion of the regional facillties needs created by new development. "Enhanced Services" may be provided to specified geographic areas of the Otay Ranch. These are services that exceed the normal or standard level of services provided to the jurisdiction as a whole. To the extent that properly owners and/or residents within Otay Ranch receive enhanced service levels, those benefitting properties shall pay the added service costs (both dtrect and Indtrect) through an October 5, 1992 Page 255 Omy Ranch GDP /SRP C Part II ongoing benefit asessment mechanism. Any additional fees or taxes levied against property In order to pay for enhanced services will not be included toward the 2.00 percent ltmit mentioned below. ~ - Objective: Revenue Sharing "" The City of Chula Vista and the County of San Diego shall enter into a Master Property Tax Agreement covering all annexations within an agreed-upon geographic area in Otay Ranch. That Agreement shall consider the distribution of property tax revenues, as well as the allocation of total project revenues between the City and the County in accordance with the following policies. All County local services provided to the unincorporated portions of Otay Ranch, including direct and indirect costs, and including capital and operating costs. shall be covered by project revenues and project exactions.

Objective: Individual projects will provide necessary tmprovements consistent with the National Flood Insurance Program, Drainage Master Plan(s) and Engineering Standards. Policy: Storm drain runoff should be managed to minimize water degradation, to reduce the waste of fresh water, to protect wUdlife and to reduce erosion. Objective: Objective: Policy: Objective: Storm water flows shall be controlled and conveyed based on statistical models models and engineering experience. as speCified in City Engineering Standards, consistent with NPDES Best Management Practices Reduction In the need for construction of flood control structures.

Policy: Require measures to decrease the adverse Impacts created by Increased quantity and degradation in the quality of runoff from urban areas. Comply with the appropriate jurisdiction's Flood Insurance Program. ... ... Policy: d. FacUities ... As the future peak flows increase with proposed new development, It Is recommended storm water detention facilities be provided to detatn these excess flows so that peak runoffs and velocities in the matn channels do not exceed the existing storm conditions. This will ellmtnate additional flooding due to Increased discharge as a result of urbanization. The criteria to attenuate storm water discharges from new development to predeveloped quantities. however, Is based on the assumption that the channels and crossing structures downstream can handle the existing storm runoffs. Existing downstream facilities in the POggi. Telegraph Canyon and Otay Valley dratnage basins have been identified as being inadequate to handle existing storm runoffs. Basin-wide tmprovement districts should be established (as has been done for the Telegraph Canyon dratnage basin) to tmprove the existing deficiencies in a timely manner. Recommended tmprovements for existing urban areas could be facilitated by local government agencies through the establishment of subzones for funding installation and matntenance costs with tax bases adequate to service bond issues for such improvements. Feasibility of obtaining financial assistance through federal and state programs should also be considered as a potential funding source for drainage tmprovements in existing urban areas.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Olny Ranch GDP /SRP C Part II These amenities should incorporate and preserve the area's heritage. while promoting the rich multi-cultural and artistic diversity represented in the South County. Consideration should be given to artistic and cultural expression through public art at parks and recreational fac1l1t1es, libraries and other public buildings. Multi-Use and Cultural Complex: One multi-use cultural complex should be constructed in Otay Ranch. The preferred location for this facility is within the Eastern Urban Center. This location adds to the vitality of the urban community and takes advantage of shared parking and complementary services with adjacent uses. A second siting option Is to locate the multi-use cultural arts fac1l1ty on a site that can link the Eastern Urban Center and the university site. This location could be a prominent one which visually and functionally ties t.'1e university to the Eastern Urban Center and Is symbolic of the cultural link between the university and the Community of otay Ranch. Multi-Use Village FacWtles: Multi-use village fac1l1t1es should be constructed to serve the villages of the Otay Ranch. These fac1l1t1es could promote art and cultural activities, Increase community access and participation in the arts, educate residents. and develop audiences for art and cultural organizations. Local institutions should select artistic and cultural activities which are responsive to the interests of residents. A multi-use public space in each village 'should be available for various artistic and cultural exhibitions and educational act1v1t1es. This space should be housed in public buildings such as a library, school, community park. senior citizens center, fire station, or public safety storefront. PubHc Art and Architectural Design: Site-spec!fic art locations and public performance space should be provided in public spaces such as squares and medians. Architectural deSign of buildings can be considered a form of artistic expression when it helps to create or 1nfluence the cultural "theme" for a community. Creative architectural elements and design should be used to create unique. distinctive and diverse buildings whose character will help provide a "sense of place" and further differentiate one village from another. Public art and artistic public Improvements should be visible in the design of community elements such as landscaping. gateways, signage, street lights, paving materials, fencing, bulletin boards, transportation stops, street furniture and other key focal points. Site Specific Art: Another way to meet the desire for increased public art Is through the placement of "site-specjftc art." This form of artistic expression should reflect the interests and tastes of the residents of that particular community as it grows and matures. OctDber 5. 1992 Page 279 ... Otny Ranch GDp/SRP C Part H ... Sites in each village should be reserved within public areas such as parks. pedestrian walkways. squares. and other appropriate spaces for the future placement of art work. Other locations will be created or used as the community develops. The placement of public art can be permanent. rotating or temporary. Areas where the public can congregate within village centers and within the Eastern Urban Center should have places for "street" performances.

The provision of a wide-range of child care opportunities Is Important to the development of families with children and for the general health and welfare of the community. The purpose of the Child Care Facility section of the Otay Ranch GDP /SRP Is to establish Goals. Objectives. Policies. Implementation Measures and Processing Requirements to govern the provision of child care facilities and programs for the residents of Otay Ranch. There are currently 24 large private child care facilities located in the South County region. The existing facilities provide a wide range of child care services. including Infant care. toddlers ages 2 - 4. preschool. and after school chlld-care for children ages 5 -13. Facilities range in size to serve 60 to 120 children per center. Private in-home child-care services average 4 - 6 children per home and also provide full-service child care for all ages. Child care facilities are also found within numerous religious institutions throughout the South County area. Both formal large facility and home-based (paid) types of child care and Informal (non-paid) methods are necessary to meet the needs of children and their families. This diversity of care represents the varied interests and abilities of parents to provide for their child's development. Build-out of the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP generates about 3.350 children ages 0 - 13 years who will be in need of child care. This results In a demand for approximately 12 formal child care facilities. 50 large family child care homes and 200 small child care homes. so that the child care need would be met half in formal center based child care and half accommodated through child care homes. . .. ... ... ...

Implementation Measure: Site child care centers near "Park and Ride" sites. transit centers or other locations accessible to public transportatioTL. where feasible. Implementation Measure: Site child care facilities and before and after-school programs within and near new schoolfacUities, Implementation Measure: Participate in exactionfor child care facilities if imposed by land use jurisdictioTL d. Facilities Policy: The total number of facilities necessary will vary due to population distribution, mix of in-home and facility-based child care, employer operated facilities. work place changes, and changes in the public education system. The most responsive approach will take into account the varying needs of diverse families, and respond with the development of facilities operated by church, non-profit and commercial vendors, as well as village plans, which are conducive to the supervision of school-age children by school and community programs. Presently, child care facilities are operated through family day care homes, private and public operators. Otay Ranch should consider that public child care facUities may be developed in the future, and therefore, recommendations for locations. facility requirements. and guidelines are included in the Child Care Facilities Implementation Plan. Secondly, employer-assisted or operated, child care facilities and services should be encouraged within Otay Ranch. Employer assisted child care services have been shown to increase productivity by decreasing absenteeism and turnover, Improving recruitment and retention of good employees and increasing employee moral. Moreover, these services may enhance a company's public image and community visibility. Family day care homes should be encouraged to locate in residential areas in Otay Ranch, both large and small licensed homes at a ratio of two small to one large family day care home.

Public and private institutions, such as religious. benevolent, fraternal. civic, human service and charitable organizations, represent a vital component within the fabric of a viable co=unity. Residents depend upon these institutions for the services they provide. Institutions contribute to a neighborhoods identity as well as to its character and general welfare. The purpose of the Co=unity and Regional Purpose Facilities Section of the Otay Ranch GDP /SRP is to establish Goals. Objectives. Policies and Processing Requirements to plan for these "co=unity and regional purpose" land uses. The City of Chula Vista Municipal Code requires new planned co=unities to identify 1.39 acres of net usable land (including setbacks) per 1.000 proposed residents for co=unity purpose facilities. The total acreage requirement may be reduced. if approved at the SPA level. based on the ava1labUity of guaranteed shared parking with other facilities or other co=unity purpose fac1l1ties that are guaranteed to be made available to the co=unityl. The Code also requires annual review of indtvtdual SPAs to determine the actual market interest and activity. Co=untty purpose facilities may also be permitted in other zones through the Conditional Use Permit process. The County estimates that it currently provides about 0.14 acres of "regional purpose facility" space per 1,000 residents. 2 The County defines regional purpose fac1l1ties as "County functions and activities including: general offices. courts. detention. warehouse. shop. storage. laboratory. residential. recreation. medical. mechanical. special uses. public co=on areas and modular units,lI ... ... ... ...

The purpose of the Social and Senior Services Facilities section of the Otay Ranch GDP/SRP Is to establish Goals, Objectives. Policies. Implementation Measures and Processing Requirements to govern the timely provision. and careful siting of social and senior facilities and services. The response to human care needs Includes a wide spectrum of organizations such as social service agencies, volunteer and service groups, churches. commercial businesses, government agencies and self help groups. Within government, the County of San Diego has the primary mandate to provide social and senior services to county residents. Facility needs vary by program and are directly related to the distinct population served and the type of service provided. Social and senior services are also offered by private, non-profit organizations and private practitioners which augment the services available from government. Services are supported through contracts with government agencies, grants, fees-for-servlces and charitable contributions. It IS,estlmated that, the build-out the Otay Ranch will generate a demand for storefront, 6-bed residential facilities, and public agency offices. Community meeting spaces are desirable for prevention programs, community education. and self-help meetings. b.

Implementation Measure: Participate with progrwns that require new development to contribute its fair share of jiuuling for County social and senior service facilities related to the needs of new development, if adopted. d.. Facilities Policy: Otay Ranch needs non-profit organlzations and government service offices to meet the needs of residents. The majority of government services can be maintained in centralized locations for the convenience of South County residents. Vlilages within Otay Ranch should have "receptor" and/or kiosk Information areas for public and non-profit social services. as well as services appropriately provided at the neighborhood level. County-wide health and human service related offices may require additional future sites, but specific locations have not yet been determined. Most of the services provided to South County residents are currently located in leased office space. Although some services must be provided from a centralized office on a county-wide basis, the preferred method is to provide direct social and senior services to residents is on the local level. The Community of Otay Ranch has a large commercial office area in the Eastern Urban Center, as well as numerous village centers. Non-profit organizations can locate in business areas such as the village centers or Eastern Urban Center, close to public transportation and other businesses. Exceptions are 6-bed residential facllltles such as group homes for developmentally disabled. shelters for homeless teenagers. and non-ambulatory senior housing which should be integrated into the residential fabric of the community.

Background 1. Emissions Nonattainment - Ozone and Carbon Monoxide: Ozone concentrations In San Diego County exceed both the federal and state standards. Ozone Is created by the reaction of solar energy, oxides of nitrogen (NOXl and reactive organic gases (ROG). A substantial majority of NOX and ROO emissions are attributable to motor vehicles. Air quality data distinguishes between exceedences of the standards predominantly caused by transported pollution versus local emissions. Transported pollution Is the pollution created in another area and then transported to the San DIego air basins by weather conditions. HistOrically, about 40% of the state ozone standard violations, three quarters of the federal standard violations, and all the highest alert level concentrations were caused by transport. Carbon monoxide concentrations exceed state and federal standards In downtown San Diego and Escondldo. Therefore, westem (urbanized) San Diego County Is designated a carbon monoxide nonattalnment area. In 1990, the federal eight-hour carbon monoxide standard was not exceeded and the state standard was exceeded onjust one day. Attainment Emissions: San Diego County meets the federal particulate matter standards promulgated In 1987. State and federal standards for lead are being met In the region. San Diego was designated an attainment area for the Federal nitrogen dioxide standard In 1981. The state one hour standard has been exceeded on only three days since 1978. and one day each In 1981. 1987 and 1988. Both State and Federal standards for sulfur dioxide are being met In the region. October 5, 1992 Page 321 ... OUly Ranch GDP /SRP C Part H - Emission Trends: .. The draft 1991 San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) projects future emissions. The forecasts demonstrate that without new emission controls. oxide emissions will begin to increase by the year 2000. prtmartly due to forecasted population growth. The RAQS concludes that stationary sources will become the largest contributor of reactive organic gas emissions in the next decade. However. motor vehicle emissions will remain the dominate source for carbon monoxide. "'I ... ... 2. Regulatory Framework ... Air quality issues are regulated by several levels of government and by a variety of governmental entities. Some existing and several pending air quality regulations overlap. Federal Clean Air Act: ... The national air quality regulations were initiated by the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency established a national ambient air quality standards to reflect the maximum levels of background pollution considered safe. "'" ., CaUfomia Clean Air Act: ... i In 1988. the California Legislature adopted the California Clean Air Act requ1ring reviSed air quality strategies and control measures to attain and maintain the state ambient air quality standards.

The State Air Resources Board establishes emission standards for motor vehicles. and regulates other motor vehicle related act1v1ties. such as after market parts cert1ftcation and fuel standards. - Air Pollution Control District: ~ The San Diego County Board of Supervisors serves as the Air Pollution Control District's governing board. The Air Pollution Control District has the authority and responsib1l1ty to promulgate regulations regarding stationary air pollution sources. transportation control measures, and indirect sources. Each of these is discussed below. ... ... October 5. 1992 .. Page 322 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Omy Rarn:h GDP/SRP C Part II Stationary Sources (Industrial): The Air Pollution Control District is responsible for controlling stationary air pollution sources. including a wide variety of industrial and commercial operations. Transportation Control Measures: The California Clean Air Act requires all reasonably available transportation control measures be Included In Air Quality Strategies. including measures to reduce vehicle trips. vehicle use. vehicle miles traveled. vehicle idling. or traffic congestion for the purpose of reducing motor vehicle emissions. The Act also requires for severe areas. such as San Diego. transportation control measures to: Q Achieve an average. during weekday commute hours. of 1.5 persons per passenger vehicle by 1999. Q Substantially reduce the rate of Increase In passenger vehicle trips and miles traveled per trip; and Q Achieve no net Increase In vehicle emissions after 1997. Because the Act does not define or otherwise provide guidance for determining reasonably available transportation control measures or a substantial reduction In the rate of increase in travel growth. the State Board has provided guidance to assist in transportation control measure planning. The state Board identifies reasonably available transportation control measures which include both regulatory and transportation system measures. Q Regulatory Measures Q Employer Based Trip Reduction Q Trip Reduction Rules for Other Sources Attracting Vehicle Trips Q Management of Parking Supply and Pricing Q Transportation System Measures Q Regional High Occupancy Vehicle System Plans and Implementation Programs Q Appropriate Transit Improvement Programs for Bus and Rail Q Land Development Policies Supporting Reductions In Vehicle Trips Q Developmental Policies to Strengthen Onsite Transit Access for New and Existing Developments Indirect Sourees: Nonattainment areas are required to develop programs for controlling Indirect sources. An Indirect source is any facility. building. structure or Installation. or combination thereof. which generates or attracts mobile source activity that results In emissions of any pollutant for which there is a state ambient air quality standard.

Page 330 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Otay R=h GDP /SRP C Part II Chapter 7 Noise Section A Introduction People going about their dally lives create sound. Sound is a vibration transmitted by molecules of air. Sound is structured in three components: the source, the transmission path, and the receiver. Certatn sounds such as jet planes, gunfire, lawn-mowers, barktng dogs, and car alarms can disturb quieter human pursuits and are usually referred to as noise. There are four predomtnant categories of noise: transportation, tndustrtal, construction and population. Existing (Otay Ranch) on-site noise sources include roadways, gun ranges, rock quarries, a recycling center and agricultural activities. Future on-site noise sources, to the extent they conttnue to operate, additional roadways, transit, tndustrta1 activities, active recreation and construction. Off-site noise sources which may effect Otay Ranch tnclude the County of San Diego Otay Landftll, the San Diego AIr Sports Center and various tndustrtal and mtntng uses. Sound levels are measured and expressed tn decibels (bB). Most sounds are a mixture of frequencies, each with a differing sound level. The method used to quantify environmental sounds consists of evaluating all of the frequencies of a sound tn accordance with a weightng system. This system reflects the decreased sensitivity of the human ear for lower and higher frequencies. The level of a sound source is measured ustng a sound level meter equipped with an A-weighted filter network. A-weighted filtering de- emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of sound tn a manner similar to the frequency response of the human ear. The County of San Diego Noise Ordinance (Section 36.404) regulates noise generated by a person or bustness at the boundary of the property on which the noise is produced. The City of Chula Vista's noise regulatory criteria is stated tn the Noise Control Ordtnance (MuniCipal Code, Chapter 19.68.010). Otay Ranch will adhere to standards appropriate to the processing jurisdiction. Over 60 noise rattng methods have been developed to facilitate assessment of noise. There is no one noise standard or set of noise standards universally applicable in San Diego County. However, two general categories of tntruding noises exist: steady- state and tntermittent stngie-event noises. The extent to which a noise exceeds the background noise is a measure of its tntrusiveness. The purpose of the Otay Ranch Noise goals, objectives and policies is to direct the identification of conditions under which noise occurs and to provide general guideltnes to protect Otay Ranch October 5, 1992 Page 331 Section B ..

Chapter 9 is closely associated with. and must be Implemented in conjunction with, Part II, Chapter 5 - Capital Fac1l1ties. The Capital Fac1l1ty Chapter establishes fac1l1ty-specific policies and processing requirements, while this Chapter establishes the procedural framework to ensure thetr Implementation. Otay Ranch phasing policies are contained in Section B, below. They are Implemented through the Village Phasing Plan. . The performance-based fac11lty driven thresholds meld the Clmla Vista Fac1l1ty Thresholds, the County Public Facility Element and the draft Regional Growth Management Strategy. The thresholds are contained in the Otay Ranch Fac11lty Implementation Plan 1. As an applicant receives each succeeding development approval, the applicant must perform requtred steps leading to the timely provision of the requtred fac1l1ty. Failure to perform the required step, curtails additional development approvals. The concept is illustrated below: An Olay Ranch Implementation Program Document as defined in Part I, Chapter 7.

It is important to recognize, however. that while DIFs provide an equitable method for spreading the cost of capital facilities. DIFs are not a reliable financing mechanism to ensure that capital facilities are constructed when needed. As such, the Public Facilities Financing Plan should detail how any projected shortfall between development impact fees on-hand and actualfacility costs will be reconciled when critical facilities are needed.

This is particularly important for the mqjor service areas, such as fire protection services. If needed data is not available (or for minor service areas), operating costs should be prqjected using a proportionate methodology reflecting the City's or County's average unit costs. Where there are known lags between development and the need for service, such as street repair, these lags should be accountedfor when they are expected to be tru::urred. >> Revenue projections will, of necessity, be prtru::ipally based on project-wide or citywide or countywide average revenues per dwelling unit (e.g., utaity users tax), per capita (e.g.. motor vehicle in-lieu fees), or similar unit averages. Until sufficient non- residential development occurs to enable sales tax revenues to be projected by commercial or industrial acre, as done in the GDP/SRP Service Revenue Plan methodology, sales tax revenue generated by the deveiopment should be projected on a per-household or per-capita basis. >> Changes to City and County cost and revenue distribution formulas will be made in accordaru::e with changes in State, County and City policieS and requirements.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I Otay Ranch GDP/SRP C Part II Chapter 10 Resource Protection, Conservation and Management Section A Introduction The protection of natural resources within Otay Ranch is shaped by multiple, and at times competing, demands. Balancing these demands requires integrated and comprehensive planning. The key concern is the protection of viable natural habitat. open space and endangered species. Traditional environmental regulations have focused on protection of a few critically affected species or isolated areas, rather than natural systems. The Otay Ranch GDP/SRP takes a systems approach to the protection, conservation and management of resources. This Chapter establishes goals, objectives and policies to ensure the conservation of significant portions of Otay Ranch's natural environment. Conservation is the sensitive preservation, management and enhancement of natural resources to asl'lure their continued avallablllty, appreciation and enjoyment. This Chapter's goals, objectives and policies prevent the wasteful exploitation, destruction, or neglect of resources and encourage the preservation, enhancement and management of sensitive resources. Implementation of these policies is guided by the Resource Management Plan (RMP), a "Program Implementation Document: as defined in Part I, Chapter 7. The RMP includes more precise standards and implementation guidelines for the protection of these resources. This Chapter is organized into the following sections: Section B: Resource Preserve 1. ldentlftcation of Sensitive Resources 2. Preservation of Sensitive Resources 3. Enhancement and Restoration of Sensitive Resources 4. Wildlife Corridors 5. Preserve Management and Maintenance 6. Resource Preserve Land Uses 7. Resource Preserve - Adjacent Land Uses 8.

The designation of open space areas alone, cannot ensure protection, enhancement and management of sensitive resources. The goal of this Chapter, the protection of sensitive biolOgical, cultural, geological and other natural resources, is more likely to be achieved through the creation of a permanent Preserve system. The Preserve will: r:I provide large, connected natural areas with varied habitats that offer refuge, food and shelter to multiple species of native plants and animals; and r:I protect scen1c, paleontological, and cultural resources; and r:I create a mechanism to assure Preserve resources are not impaIred by urban development adjacent to the Preserve; and r:I develop a multi-faceted l1v1ng laboratory for research; and r:I enhance opportunities for public education and appreciation of senSitive resources. ... .., ... e ... ....

Water Conservation Introduction Southern California droughts have changed attitudes and public policies regarding water. Continued water shortfalls are projected as growth continues In Southern California. Three possible solutions are available: Increase water supply from non-traditional sources; conserve available water; and/or Increase production and use of reclaimed water. Several approaches to water conservation are available: demand reduction; Increase efficiency; Increase supply/reclalmed water use; and Improve water system management. The water conservation approach Is the focus of this Section. Water conservation Is an Important strategy because It Is a cost effective approach which can be directly Implemented on a project-by- project basis. (Water supplies from non-traditional sources are addressed In the Water Facilities Implementation Plan. Reclaimed water supplies are addressed In the Water Reclamation Facilities Implementation Plan.) Over the long-term. water conservation must become an Integral component of the Southern California way of life, with or without a drought condition In order to avoid drastic lifestyle alterations. The SANDAG Quality of Life Standards and Objectives regarding water availability and conservation Include four components: supply. storage. conservation and reclamation. These four components are summarized below: o A sufficient supply of water should be available to serve the residents. businesses and institutions In the San Diego Region. October 5. 1992 Page 383 o Per capita Increased In water supply should be stabilized. o Discharge effluent Into the oceans and streams should be reduced. o Achieve the reclamation of 100,000 acre feet of water per year by 2010 from the discharge effluent. The County Water Authority recommends that Its member agencies be able to operate without water service from the CWA's aqueducts for up to ten consecutive days In the event of an emergencY. The approach to water conservation outlined In this Section Is Intended to be comprehensive and lmplemented throughout the life of Otay Ranch. Water conservation during construction and after occupancY. must be a part of the plan. Efforts to educate and Increase awareness of the need to conserve water and the opportunities to do so. will be directed toward the future residents of Otay Ranch. Goals, Objectives and Policies GOAL: CONSERVE WATER DURING AND AFTER CONS1RUcnON OF OTAY RANCH. Objective: Reduce CWA water use within Otay Ranch to a level that Is 75% of County-wide, 1989 per capita levels. Policy: Incorporate technologies and methods of water use that reduce water consumption without reducing the consumer's quality of life.

RCAs are shown on the County RCA Map, which Is an overlay map for the County Regional Land Use Element Map. The numbers In parenthese used below correspond to the numbers used on the County RCA Overlay Map. 1. (112) San Miguel- Jamul Mountains: These two mountain masses are regionally important for San Diego County because of the large number of rare and endangered plants on them. Rare plants In this area Include the Coast barrel cactus IFerncactus vlridescensl, Otay manzanita IArctostaohvlos otayenslsl, San Miguel savory rSaturela chandlerll, Dudleya variegata, California adders tongue fern (OohlOl!lossum callfornlcuml, San Diego needlegrass ~ dlel!oenslsl, -and Gander's pitcher sage (Leoechlnla llanderll. Vernal pools occur In this area near Proctor Valley Road. The endangered California gnatcatcher also occurs on the lower slopes of these mountains. San Miguel Mountain Is also a scenic landmark that appears In most photographs of San Diego's skyline. The majOrity of this RCA Is In the Jamul-Du1zura Subregional Planning Area. 2. (123) OtOll River Valley: One of the key attributes of this river valley Is the fact that It can be restored to provide a mosaic of valuable wetland and floodplain scrub habitats. The north side of the valley supports maritime succulent scrub along with the California gnatcatcher, San Diego cactus wren and a variety of sensitive plants including Serpentina cholla cactus (Oountla oarrvl sernentinal. The scrub habitat provides a potential corridor for movement of cactus wren, California gnatcatcher and other wildlife along the valley. An extensive population of the Otay tarweed Is present along the south side of the river valley. Similar habitats exist In the Wolf Canyon and Salt Creek Canyon areas which are Included within this RCA The Salt Creek area supports some of. the greatest known concentrations of California gnatcatchers and San Diego cactus wren. lt Is important that these canyons and the river valley remain linked as wildlife corridors. The terraces on the north side of the river valley within this RCA also contain extensive archaeological sites. 3. (124) Brown Field Area: This vernal pool area contains resources similar to the Old Bombing Range and also supports the endangered vernal pool inhabiting Orcutt's grass. 4. (12tJ) Brown Field Old BOmbing Range: The California Natural Areas Coordinating Council (CNACC) has Included this OctoberS, 1992 Page 389 ...

This area contains numerous rare and endangered vernal pool plants such as the San Diego button-celery, and Otay mesa-mint as well as coastal sage scrub vegetation. lJ. (127) Ota:g Mountain - Lower Otay Lake: This major area is of statewide significance. It includes Lower Otay Reservoir, rare and endangered plants on the lower mesa areas north of the Reservoir, and Otay Mountain. Otay Mountain contains the world's largest population of rare Tecate Cypress (Cuoressus forbesiil and numerous other rare and endangered plants. A few include the Gander's pitcher sage, Otay Manzanita, Orcutt's brodiaea rBrodiaea orcuttiil, Dunn's mariposa Illy (Calochortus dunn1l1, Dense reed grass (Calamam-ostis ~ and the world's only remaining known population of the Mexican fremontia (Fremontodendmn mexlcanuml.

Area Vernal pools and their attendant rare species occur on the mesas around the Lower Otay Reservoir. Otay Mountain is also a major scenic landmark for the region. 6, Poggi Canyon: This area contalns large population of the San Diego cactus wren and California gnatcatcher - both critically endangered species. It also contains Maritime sage scrub, Diegan coastal sage scrub and the Otay tarplant. In order to malntaln these resources, it would be important to provide a corridor to the nearby WoIf Canyon area. ... -, .. '"'! .. ... .. "'! ... .. ... ... ... .. ... .. October 5, 1992 '"'!
