light leaves back-and-forth the length of yards and streets.

This block has about seven types of trees at this mom~nt. I
have The OLDEST ORCHID tree on. this b'lock. My nearbY neighbors
(41 & 62 Center St. specified) since 1975 have had tree removal
and sidewalk replacement,- BY Public Works. but, did-no~
replace ~ith Orchids, b~t, with a tree of THEIR choice.
ObviouslY and clearlY an Orchid is a verY messy,undesi~able
and rejected trees on this E/W block. So I hereby request those
same privileges.
Since 1975 I have been a bwner and resident of property at
57 Center Street in Chula Vista. In 1975 lTiY next door neighbors
at 53 Center had two (2) Pepper trees in their front, whick had
damaged the sidewalk to extent of becoming hazardous to
Public Safety. Public Works then replaced the sidewalk, removed
his Pepper trees and replaced with 2 Orchid trees with no
charge to them.

I at that time had no trees in front, I have liked trees
all mY,75 years, so through proper Public Works application
form and a fee I also obtained two Orchids. Those four Orchids
were the first on this block. Since then until now, I have
nurtured those trees with loving care. I have straightened,
pruned, deep-watered ,with a ROSS irrigator, raked and picked UP
leaves YEAR-ROUND, plus picked UP blossoms yearly from about
FEB-JUNE in street, yard, garage, front door, mai 1 box, and
planters.
I kindly request relief, and tree removal. EspeciallY 53 &
57 Center Street. For a kindly reminder the sidewalk at 53 has
again become hazardous and needs replacing.

ONE OF THE WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS (50) WAS INADVERTENTLY OMITTED FROM THE
TRANSMITTAL MEMORANDUM SENT WITH THE COUNCIL PACKETS, AS WELL AS THE ATTACHMENTS
TO ITEM 5E. THIS REVISED TRANSMITTAL REPLACES THE INCORRECT ONE.
March 23, 1992
TO:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
The Honorable Mayor and City Council.
John D. Goss, City Manager ~
City Council Meeting of March 24, 1992
This will transmit the agenda and related materials for the regular City Council
meeting of Tuesday, March 24, 1992. Comments regarding the Written
Communications are as follows:
5a. This is a letter from John Grinder, Bayscene Mobile Home Park, requesting
City assistance in acquiring the park. This item was the subject of
discussion under Oral Communications at the March 17, 1992 meeting, at
which time it was referred to staff for review. THEREFORE NO ACTION IS
NEEDED AT THIS TIME. Staff will be communicating with the Bayscene Mobile
Home Park Association and will report back to Council on the status of
this request.
5b. This is a letter from Jack Wilson, 57 Center Street, regarding the orchid
trees located in the front of his residence. Mr. Wilson has requested
that the City remove these trees (Hong Kong Orchid) and replace them with
a tree that is not as "messy". This variety of tree is the approved
street tree for that block and, inasmuch as they are healthy specimens,
their removal would violate the street tree preservation policy adopted in
1971 (Council Pol icy #576-05). These trees are not known as "messy" trees.
Although no specific records exist, the Public Works department may have
in the past removed trees at 41 and 62 Center Street because of sidewalk
damage and, at the homeowners' request, not replaced them. At a later
time, the homeowners may themselves have planted trees of another species.
Only 43% of the trees on "00" - "100" block of Center St. are of the
approved variety, i.e. 19 Hong Kong Orchid trees versus 25 non-approved
varieties. This is not an uncommon situation in neighborhoods that were
established prior to the publication of an approved street tree list in
1971. Publ ic Works crews wi 11 root prune the trees and repair the
sidewalk at 41 and 53 Center Street but IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ORCHID
TREES NOT BE REPLACED, AND THAT MR. WILSON BE SO NOTIFIED.
5c. This is a letter from E. Allen Buck regarding a proposed San Diego
Regional Horse Park. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MR. BUCK'S LETTER BE RECEIVED
AND FILED, AND THAT STAFF CONTACT HIM REGARDING THE OTAY RIVER VALLEY
PLANNING PROCESS.
Sd. This is a letter from Susan Fuller, Chair of the Planning Commission,
requesting that Council expedite filling the vacancy that will occur as a
result of the expiration of Robert Tugenberg's term on June 30, 1992. IT
IS RECOMMENDED THAT MS. FULLER'S LETTER BE ACKNOWLEDGED, AND THAT COUNCIL
TAKE THIS REQUEST INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN FILLING THIS VACANCY.
Se. This is a letter from the Southwestern Christian Schools, Inc. requesting
the Council reconsider their decision to restripe L Street with a painted
median between Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Council has considered
this item on three separate occasions, the most recent being at the March
17, 1992 Council meeting, and each time Southwestern Christian Schools was
sent notice of the meeting. The last notice sent to them stated, "The
City Council will also be considering other alternatives such as a
continuous two-way left turn lane which may prohibit all on-street
parking, or a raised median which would prohibit left turns across
opposing traffic." A copy of that notice and the mailing list, along with
the previous agenda item, is attached. A lthough the school's
representative did not communicate with staff prior to this last Council
meeting, they had done so as a result of our previous notices and had
discussed many of the options with staff. While it is technically true
that they did not receive notice "of this particular restriping plan", it
is important to note that the raised median would be even more effective
in prohibiting the turning movements than would be the approved painted
median and, therefore, the Church and School had constructive notice of
the options as it would affect them. As indicated, Council has thoroughly
considered all alternatives and received public input on three separate
occasions on this very difficult situation. THEREFORE, IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE LETTER BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND THAT NO FURTHER ACTION BE TAKEN.

Report on parking concerns for the 490 block of L Street and
the Youth Center parking lot
Resolution Establishing a no parking zone on L

of the Youth Center parking lot 'driveway and the Casa Vianney
condominiums and rescinding Resolution .15591 which prohibited
on-street parking for the entire 400 block of,L Street

SUBMITIED BY:
REVIEWED BY:
The City Council on April 17, 1990, voted 3-0 to approve Resolution .15591
prohibiting parking on both sides of L Street between Fourth Avenue and Fifth
Avenue to allow for the addition of a two-way left turn lane. The Sweetwater
Union High School District favors the two~way left turn lane since vehicles
and school buses will not block the number one eastbound through lane while
attempting to make a left turn into the Youth Center parking lot.
.
Subsequent to the City Council meeting of' April 17, 1990, staff received a
request from the homeowners to rescind Resolution '15591 and retain on-street
parking. In response to the homeowners appeal, a public hearing was eonducted
by the City Council on November 12, 19~1 at which time staff was directed to
look at redesigning the Youth Center parking lot and consider access from
Fifth Avenue or limiting access from L Street.
, .
~ECOMMENDATION: That the City Council accept staff's report and 1) rescind
Resolution '15591 which prohibited all on-street parking for the 400 block of
L Street and 2) not make any changes to the Youth Center parking lot; and 3)
prohibit on-street parking for a short distance adjacent to the Youth Center
driveway and the Cas a Vianney condominiums in the 400 block of L Street.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS, RECOMMENDATION: The Safety Commission, at their January
11, 1990 meeting, voted 6-0 to accept staff's recommendation to prohibit
on-street parking for the 400 block of L Street.
The City Council, on April 17, 1990, voted 3-0 to approve Resolution '15591
prohibiting parking on both sides of L Street between Fourth Avenue and Fifth
Avenue.
The Safety Commission, at their October 10, 1991 meeting, voted 6-1 confirming
their previous action of January 11, 1990 to prohibit on-street parking for
the 400 block of L Street.
At the November 12, 1991 meeting, the City Council directed staff to look at
redesigning the Youth Center parking lot and consider access from Fifth Avenue
or limiting access from L Street and to examine other alternatives.

DISCUSSION:
The Redevelopment Agency in conjunction with the Sweetwater Union High School
District has completed construction of a 17,000 sq. ft. youth community center
building on the north side of L Street between Fourth Avenue and Fifth
Avenue. Part of the development included a 73 stall parking lot. The
existing parking lot entrance is located on L Street and the exit is located
on Fifth Avenue. Since the November 12, 1992 City Council meeting, staff has
looked at many alternatives to resolve the Youth Center parking lot layout and
the request from area residents to retain on-street parking. Staff has also
looked at having all access to the Youth Center via Fifth Avenue. Staff has
looked at additional options such as, no parking, parking on one side,
midb10ck left turns, raised medians, painted medians, and reversing the
direction of vehicular flow for the Youth Center parking lot. Staff is trying
to balance safety, access to the Youth Center and on-street parking.
Staff has prepared the following alternatives to address concerns raised by
the City Council and area residents:
NO CHANGES TO L STREET STRIPING AND NO CHANGES TO YOUTH CENTER
PARKING LOT
Keeping the existing striping on the 400 block of L Street would
retain on-street parking on both the north and south curb1ines.
The Youth Center driveway on L Street would remain an entrance only
with traffic moving in the westbound direction through the Youth
Center parking lot. Loading and unloading of vehicles will be on
the right side of the bus, adjacent to the loading/unloading lone.
The existing exit driveway on Fifth Avenue would require no
modifications to accommodate the right turns made by the 40 foot
buses.
The disbenefit to this alternative is that it would not do anything
to reduce the rear end accidents on L Street caused by motorists
waiting to make a left turn from the number 1 lane. Without the
addition of .the two-way left turn lane, the number of eastbound rear
end accidents is expected to increase. The accident period of
January 1, 1988 through December 4, 1991 shows that there were seven
reported traffic accidents for the 400 block of L Street. Five of
the seven reported accidents were rear end accidents (two westbound,
three eastbound). The other two accidents involved vehicles in the
number 2 lane hitting parked vehicles (one westbound, one eastbound).
NO CHANGES TO L STREET AND REVERSE FLOW IN YOUTH CENTER PARKING LOT
No changes would be made to the existing striping on the 400 block
of L Street.
.
Page 3 Item~ 1
Meeting Date 3/10/92
Using Fifth Avenue as the entrance for the Youth Center would
reverse the vehicular flow direction. The traffic flow would now be
in the eastbound direction through the parking lot. Left turns out
of the parking lot could be prohibited. The loading and unloading
of school buses would be on the parking lot .aisle side and not on
the sidewalk area. Children exiting in the traffic lane and
crossing in front of the bus is a safety concern. The School
District and staff do not recommend reversing the flow through the
parking lot especially since all schools are designed for right side
loading and unloading. Also, since the parking lot is already
striped for westbound direction traffic flow, to remove and reverse
the parking lot striping would cost approximately $2,000. Further,
additional construction costs would be incurred to widen the
driveway and modify the parking lot entrance to regain the spaces
lost near this driveway. The cost to complete those required
modifications is estimated at $8,000.
Staff met with representatives of the Sweetwater Union High School
District to discuss these potential modifications. The Sweetwater
representative felt that there would probably be no problem
obtaining some additional right-of-way for driveway modifications,
but that approval would have to be obtained from their Board. The
SUHSD representative, however, was strongly opposed to reversing the
flow of the parking lot because of the safety aspects of children
getting off the bus on the traffic side. Since this situation would
also occur when parents drop off their children, staff also does not
recommend this alternative.
TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE ON 400 BLOCK OF L STREET
Modify the street striping to allow for the installation of a 10 ft.
wide two-way left turn lane in the center of L Street. With this
proposed striping, there would be 12 ft. number one lanes and 15 ft.
number two (curbline) lanes. On-street parking cannot be
accommodated with this alternative. Buses making left or right
turns to enter the Youth Center parking lot from L Street do not
have any probJems negotiating the L Street driveway and entrance.
The advantage of this alternative is that the number of rear end
accidents would decrease and through traffic would not be affected
by vehicles waiting to make left turns across opposing traffic.
Therefore, congestion and delays would be kept to a minimum while
safety is enhanced. The disadvantage with this alternative i~ that
all of the on-street parking (62 spaces) 'will be eliminated. The
City Council on April 17, 1990, voted 3-0 to approve Resolution No.
15591 prohibiting parking on both sides of L Street to allow for the
addition of a two-way left turn lane.

Meeting Date 3/10/92
TWO FOOT RAISED ASPHALT MEDIAN ON 400 BLOCK OF ~ STREET - ENTRANCE
TO PARKING LOT ON L STREET
This alternative would construct a two foot raised asphalt median in
the middle of L Street leaving 12 ft. wide number one lanes and 19
ft. wide number two lanes. This allows for on-street parking, but
will leave curb lanes narrower. If L\Street is used as the entrance
to the Youth Center, westbound buses on L Street can make the right
turn to enter the Youth Center with the westbound '2 lane as narrow
as 14 feet. Therefore, no modifications would be required to the
Youth Center parking lot.
A two foot raised asphalt median along the center of L Street would
deny midblock left turns to all motorists on the 400 block of L
Street. This alternative encourages out of direction travel. L
Street is too narrow to allow for U-turns at Fourth Avenue and Fifth
Avenue. Residents of the 400 block of L Street would only have
right turn in/right turn out access to their property via eastbound
L Street. Conversely, the Youth Center's parking lot would only be
accessible in the westbound direction. At the previous Council
hearing on this item, residents of the area appeared to indicate
that this would be an acceptable situation for them in order to
retain their on-street parking. The SUHSD representative indicated
that this alternative would present no problems for them.
The cost for a two foot raised asphalt median is estimated at
$10,000 in addition to the striping changes. If the City Council
chooses to retain on-street parking and add the asphalt median,
funds would have to be appropriated. This alternative would retain
on-street parking and reduce rear end accidents.
An option for this alternative is to modify the striping to provide
a solid two foot painted median instead of a raised median. While
it would be illegal for traffic to cross this painted median, it has
been well documented by staff that some drivers will violate this
type of prohibition. Illegal left turns would be made by motorists
using the Youth Center and the Chula Vista Church of Christ and
elementary school parking lots located at the west end of this
block. Therefore, staff does not recommend the painted median and
believes the additional cost of the raised median is worthwhile in
preventing accidents. These striping changes would cost
approximately $3,000.
City Council has mentioned in their last discussion on L Street the
possibility of a chain link fence in the middle of the raised median.
Staff feels a 6 foot high chain link fence is unnecessary, too expensive
and would not be aesthetically pleasing, especially in front of the new
Youth Center and the residential homes on L Street. A chain link fence
would require that the median be at least four feet wide and may still
present a traffic hazard at the ends of the fence. The cost for this
project is estimated at $30,000. In addition, the SUHSD representative
,
.

{
indicated that, in his observation since the opening of the parking lot,
parents are no longer parking on the street for the soccer games on the
weekend.
The installation of a 4 ft. wide raised asphalt median would still
require a striping change to the lane lines on L Street but would retain
on-street parking. All travel lanes would be 11 feet wide with 8 foot
parking lanes along each curbline.
ACCESS TO YOUTH CENTER PARKING LOT VIA FIFTH AVENUE
(
Staff has also considered the request from the City Council to have
both ingress and egress to the Youth Center off of Fifth Avenue.
With this alternative, an access road would be required across the
southerly portion of the Chula Vista High School field. This
alternative would not require any changes to the Youth Center
parking lot. The existing striping on L Street would remain.
Staff is not recommending this alternative for the following reasons:
1. The requested access would be 800 feet long and require an
additional driveway on Fifth Avenue as well as a 12 foot wide
(minimum) roadway which would meander around the existing trees,
baseball backstop and the rear of the Youth Center building.
2. The existing chainlink fence along the north side of the parking
lot will require relocation to the north of the proposed access
road. The fence will encroach into the south baseball field.
3. Traffic will be redirected around the entire perimeter of the
building.
4. An irrigation control box and sprinkler system would have to be
relocated away from this access road.
5. Estimated costs are expected to be at least $30,000.
6. An additional 10,000 to 14,000 square feet of right-of-way would
be required from SUHSD. The District staff has expressed a
concern about giving further right-of-way of this magnitude.
MIDBLOCK TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE
Staff has also looked into providing a short midblock two-way left
turn lane. The two-way left turn lane would be 10 feet wide,
centered on the centerline. The proposed striping would prOVide for
a 4S-foot long two-way left turn lane for the Youth Center parking
lot entrance while retaining most of the .on-street parking. Of the
existing 62 on-street parking spaces, 22 parking spaces would be
lost with this alternative. On-street parking would be prohibited
in the midblock area, where this additional lane would be added.

Meeting Date 3/10/92
(
There are 38 existing parking spaces along the north curbline of L
Street. With this alternative, 15 north curbline parking spaces
would be lost in the vicinity of the Youth Center driveway, leaving
23 on-street parking spaces (12 west and 11 east of driveway).
Along the south curbline, there are 24 existing parking spaces.
with this alternative, 7 parking spaces would be lost opposite the
Youth Center parking lot. The four parking spaces in front of the
Casa Vianney apartments would be part of these 7 parking spaces
lost. Of the remaining 17 parking spaces along the south curbline,
12 will be located in front of the Church of Christ and Southwestern
Christian School, at the west end of this block. The remaining 5
parking spaces would be located east of the Cas a Vianney driveway in
front of the single family residences. Total on-street parking with
this alternative is 40 spaces.
HIDBLOCK TWO-WAY LEFT TURN LANE NORTH OF CENTERLINE
This alternative shifts the 45-foot long, 10-foot wide two-way left
turn lane so that is entirely on the north half of the roadway.
Therefore, the entire south half of the roadway would stay intact
thus leaving the 24 parking spaces along the south curb line. The
12 foot wide eastbound number 1 lane and the 20 foot wide eastbound
number 2 lane would also remain as existing. Both westbound lanes
would be 11 feet wide in the vicinity of the two-way left turn lane.
The longer transition lengths to the roadway striping would remove
27 out of the 38 parking spaces along the 'north curbline. These
remaining 11 parking spaces would consist of 6 west and 5 east of
the Youth Center driveway. Total on-street parking with this
alternative is 35 spaces.
Staff is not recommending this alternative due to the abrupt changes
in alignment on the north half of the roadway and the larger number
of parking spaces lost. Both westbound lanes would be 11 feet wide
adjacent to the two-way left turn lane. Staff does not recommend 11
foot wide travel lanes adjacent to curblines. Westbound buses in
the number 2 curb lane would have difficulty making the right turn
into the parking lot with this lane less than 14 feet wide. Larger
vehicles and bicycles would have a difficult time sharing an II-foot
wi de lane.
HIDBLOCK TWO-LEFT TURN LANE SOUTH OF CENTERLINE
This alternative shifts the 45-foot long, 10-foot wide two-way left
turn lane so that it is entirely on the south half of the roadway.
Therefore, the entire north half of the roadway would stay intact,
thus leaving the 38 parking spaces along the north curbline. The
12-foot wide westbound number 1 lane and the 20-foot wide westbound
number 2 lane would also remain as existing. Both eastbound lanes
would be 11 feet wide in the vicinity of the two-way left turn lane.

t
The longer transition lengths to the roadway striping would remove
13 out of the 24 parking spaces along the south curbline. The 11
remaining parking spaces would be split with 6 at the west end and 5
at the east end of the block. There would be no on-street parking
in front of the Casa Vianney apartments and adjoining single family
residences located midblock. Total on-street parking with this
alternative is 49 spaces (38 north side, 11 south side).
Staff is not recommending this alternative since the roadway
striping for this block would force eastbound traffic to transition
4 times to meander around the existing left turn lanes at the
signalized intersections and the midblock left turn lanes. In
addition, both eastbound lanes would be 11 feet wide adjacent to the
two-way left turn lane. Eastbound vehicles may have difficulty
attempting right turns into narrow driveways along the south
curbline.
CONCLUSION:
Staff has examined the number of alternative solutions with the objective of
providing enhanced traffic safety for the new Youth Center. The objectives of
providing a left-turn pocket without reducing parking is not achievable
because of the limited width of L Street. Some of the alternatives examined
would require modifications to the Youth Center parking lot. These
alternatives are not recommended because of the impacts such modifications and
costs would have on the adjoining ballfields.
After considering the hardships created by removal of parking and the safety
benefits derived from a left-turn lane for the Youth Center Parking Lot, staff
has reconsidered their previous recommendation for total parking removal and a
continuous left-turn lane and has concluded that a short left-turn pocket to
serve only the Youth Center would be sufficient. This mid-block two-way left
turn lane alternative would reduce the amount of parking removed from a total
of 62 spaces to only 22 spaces. In other words, 40 spaces will remain
available on both sides of L Street.
The second preferred alternative of a raised 4-foot wide median would retain
all the 62 spaces but would prohibit left turns. This alternative would
require users of the properties in the block and the Youth Center to travel
out of direction and around the block to access the properties. It would not
be possible to make U-turns at the intersection of Fourth Avenue or Fifth
Avenue because of the restricted width of L Street.
FISCAL IMPACT: If staff's recommendation is adopted, the striping changes
will cost $3,000. Funds are available for this alternative.

PRESENTATION OF SAN DIEGO REGIONAL HORSE PARK
BY E. ALLAN BUCK
FEBRUARY 21, 1992
SAN DIEGO REGIONAL HORSE PARK
PRESENTATION
San Diego county has maintained the largest horse population per capita
for any county in the nation for over forty years. Yet county and local
government agencies have ignored this industry. Forcing horse owners
to the outer edges of the county except for an area like Rancho Santa Fe.
Yes, the horse is an industry, it is a viable and substanial industry in
California and the nation and I am not referring to the horse racing
business.
The show horse and backyard trail horse comprise the industry that is
ignored by government. The horse represents a rural atmosphere and
"rural" means no progress no growth, at least that is the attitude here
in San Diego. The attitude is, cover the land with vacant offices and
vacant industrial complexes and to cover what remains with houses so
close you can touch your neighbors house without leaving your yard.
Rural means a green beltway here in San Diego. Proper insight and planning
can allow rural to co-exist with growth however to obtain this kind of
insight requires doing away with the tunnel vision that is prevelant today.
Balboa Park is one of the beautiful parks of the cities in this country
and within its confines a person could rent a horse and ride beautiful
trails - no more -! Unlike the city of New York that still maintains
the Central Park Trails, the city of San Diego says progress first.
Mission Valley had to be covered in concrete and asphalt and the horses
had to go. By design the horse and horse owners are discriminated against
again and again. One of the last rental stables in this county may be
forced to close for more concrete and asphalt because our ~overnment
agencies refuse to acknowledge the horse as an industry.
The reverse of this attitude can be shown in New Jersey and Kentucky.
By design the governments moved to protect a viable industry by the
establishment of horse parks. Parks that bring millions of dollars into
the region every year. Here in San Diego County the 22nd Agricultural
District realized the potential of the industry and built an arena for
horse shows and sales valued at five million dollars, and aquired the
1992 Volvo World Cup of Show Jumping. The event will bring international
publicity for San Diego County but, like the Olympics of 1984 at Fairbanks
Ranch, it Will be covered brieftly by the media and all will fade from sight
and mind; and once more the horse will be silenced except for racing at
Del Mar.

S'c -2
Government representitives must stop and smell the horse manure, it brings
money to the coffers. I dare say that if the taxpayers within the horse industry
of this county stopped paying taxes in all the forms they are taxed, this
county and cities within could financially crumble to dust. The business
climate in this county is shakey at best and the time has come to create an
attitude that will bring back business and tourists to this county. A great
step in the right direction would be to aknowledge the horse as an industry
and use it to build upon. Use it as an attraction to San Diego County.
The horse is not a pet like a dog or cat for the horse CAn be ridden. You can
ride trails, ride in competitions or even ride in a carriage or wagon. The
horse requires expenditures for maintenance far greater than a cat or dog.
The expenditures for a horse that is shown competitively are greater. The
horse industry is comprised of not only horse owners but of riders, breeders,
grooms, trainers, stable workers, hay growers, hay haulers, feed manufactures,
feed haulers, feed stores, tack stores, boarding and training facilities,
veterinarians, farriers, horse haulers, tack manufactors, barn and corral
manufactors, insurance companies, publishers of hosre books and ma~azines
and even the people who come to the competitions. I have left out a lot of
business that are associated with the horse, but if you are alert you have
already understood the impact that the horse has on the financial income of a
region.
San Diego County has the year round climate, along with the ideal land
formations for the development of the horse industry. From the border to the
north county line and from the ocean to the Imperial County line, could exist
an extensive horse and hiking trail system to rival any that might exist
elsewhere. Housing areas should be built for the horse owner just as golfers
in this county have their exclusive areas. The mention of golfers brings
forth the issue of the acreage.currently in use as golf courses both on public
and private land. Horseowners have not been allowed this kind of land usage.
Developers are able to build vast 2reen spaces that are essentially void of
birds and animals and are for a select group of people. The City of Oceanside
acts in favor of horseowners and the city is sued by the developers. An example
of greed and lack of concern for a group of people who could make the developers
a great amount of return.
The government agencies must become the driving force in actions to benefit
the horseowner, for without an incentive or mandate the developers will not
cease the concrete and asphalt coverage of the land.
South county used to be a great area for the horse, but it to has gradually
succumed to the bulldozer. Bonita and Spring Valley areas still hold to the
horse and the rural atmostphere, but for how long? The Tijuana River Valley
is being turned into a regional park. After the park is fully developed how
long will the horses be allowed to stay? One of the last beaches to ride a
horse is at Border Field Park, will it survive? Rather than acknowledge the
value of the horse as an industry will those remenants disappear as did the
Balboa Park Rental Horses?
2
I
~~
The Oceanside lawsuit is based upon two arguments. The first being of square
footage which could be compromised by all parties.
The other argument being mentioned by the developers in the Oceanside lawsuit
and echoed by others who are ignorant of what they speak is this; insect
population increases, soil changes and water quality. These arguments are
mute, as the controls exist for all three will maintain clean and safe
environment for human and horses.
Eastlake development and other Rancho Otay developments are removing the last
open space remaining before the foothills. Where are designs for the horse
owners? Non-existent as in ninety-nine and nine tenths of the developments
for San Diego County. The original plans for the Eastlake Summer Olympic
facilities mentioned an area for use by the horse, where did that go? Again
the horse was discriminated against.
Americans have a 2reat love affair with the horse, as can be shown by the
thousands of people who see the Budweiser Clysdales annually. This love
affair can be observed whenever a horse is about, even a mounted law
enforcement officer is a great attraction.
San Diego Regional Horse Park will also be an attaction. Imagine the response
by tourists and local residents to having the accessability to a horse training
facility. Tours will be provided by the facility that will educate the visitor
about the various events of competition that a horse is used. The visitor will
see the work in a barn required to maintain the horse and watch the horse at
training in the various arenas. A carriage tour of the cross county course
will let the visitor not only view the horse and.rider on an Olympic course
but, the visitor will gain the knowledge of what it was like when the horse
was used for transportation.. The cross country course will be greater than
the Fairbanks Ranch Olympic course of 1984. The events barn will contain
24' x 24' stalls with static displays about each event tau~ht at the facility.
The barn will be built like the old stables of the past with beautiful woods,
not the steel of today. The visitor will be able to enjoy a meal at the .
Arena Resturant while watching horses in training or in a special event or
competition. The Arena Resturant is part of the arena designed for show
competition or group use. This arena will be covered and will include
substainal sitting capacity that will be enclosed. The arena, sheltered
against wind and rain, could be used for non-horse related events.
The visitor will also be able to browse through a retail shop for the horse
lover and enthusiast. This shop will contain English and Western riding .
equipment, horse grooming and health aids, Western and English cloths and
boots and an extensive horse related gift and jewelry area.
Farriers are people who shoe horses, well at ths facility we will include a
blacksmith. The "smithy" not only shoed horses but, did other metaLwork
required in the days of the old west. The visitor will be able to see the
blacksmith at work and purchase items created. Hikers and walkers will also
enjoy the San Diego Regional Horse Park because of the beautiful walking
paths and trails provided for them.
3
5'"c-~
<
The Horse Park would also provide habitat for birds and animals to live
within. Thus assisting the wildlife to propagate.
San Diego Regional Horse Park will be a training center for horse and rider
in show jumping, dressage, three-day eventing, driving, cutting, reining,
team penning, gymkanna and endurance. The Park will be designed to present
the best training facility for the United States Equestrian Team. Designed
to be a school for the horse industry the Center will develope a prORram
in conjunction with the Magnet program of the local school districts. The
program will be beneficial for years after its use by a student, because to
work with a horse you must learn patience, trust and respect, all are benefits
to be passed along in society as the student grows.
The horse trails proposed by various groups in the county could ultimately
benefit by trails leaving for San Diego Horse Park. This facility, as a
south county staging area could generate endurance racing in the county
which is a growing sport in the horse industry.
1#
A regional horse will bring long term financial benefits to the immediate
south county and will generate growth in the horse industry throughout the
county.

From:
Susan Fuller, Chair - Chula Vista Planning Commission
Subject:
Replacement for Planning Commissioner Robert Tugenberg
The expiration of Robert Tugenberg's term as a City Planning Commissioner is set for June 30
of this year. Because of the significant number of major planning projects set to come before
the Planning Commission in 1992 and, specifically, the anticipated complex and time-consuming
joint City and County Planning Commission meetings which will start at the end of April dealing
with the Otay Ranch, I would strongly urge that the Council move to complete the selection of
a new Commissioner to replace Bob at the earliest possible date. My hope would be that
someone could be selected within the next month and a half which would at least afford them
an opportunity to sit in a the start of these joint meetings being conducted with the City and the
County. A major all-day session is being planned for the middle of May, which I feel is a very
important milestone in having full attendance by the Planning Commissions of both the County
and the City of Chula Vista. Again, I would like to urge your immediate attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,

Please reconsider your decision to restripe L Street with a
double yellow line the full length of the block between Fourth
and Fifth streets.
We have a church and school on. the south side of L street, at
the southeast corner of L and Fifth, and only have access off
of L street. our uses involve about 180 students and 25 staff
members, attending daily and' a congregation of 250 me~ers,
together which use the facility 6 days per week, the majority
of which live east of Fifth. This will result in a loss of
attendees at our' facility.
We received no notice of this particular restriping plan and
desire to address the Council with this problem. Thank you in
advance for your consideration.

San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E") has
requested city assistance in financing or refinancing certain gas
and electric generation, transmission and distribution facilities
located outside the city as well as within the City. However,
Chapter 3.48 of the Municipal Code does not currently authorize
the City to issue revenue bonds to finance or refinance projects
outside the City. The attached ordinance amends Chapter 3.48 to
include additional findings with respect to city benefits to be
derived from financing and refinancing utility facilities and
would permit issuance of city revenue bonds to finance or
refinance projects located outside the City provided that the
City Council first makes a specific finding that City interests
would be served by such financing or refinancing. The attached
ordinance also makes certain amendments to Chapter 3.48 to
reflect current federal tax law.
The attached resolution will permit expenditures
hereinafter incurred by SDG&E for such facilities to be recovered
from such bond proceeds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached ordinance which permits the City to
issue revenue bonds to finance or refinance industrial,
commercial or utility projects located within or without the City
upon a finding of benefit to the city.
h -I
Adopt the attached resolution.
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION:
None. None applicable.
DISCUSSION:
PurDose of Amendment
SDG&E provides electric and gas service throughout
service areas that include the City. Under California Public
Utility commission ("CPUC") rules, SDG&E's costs of providing
this service are passed through to its retail customers,
including its customers in the City.
SDG&E expects to incur over $2 billion of future costs
through 1996 in acquiring or constructing electric and gas
facilities needed to continue providing retail gas and electric
service throughout its service areas. This includes projected
costs of repowering SDG&E's South Bay generating units and other
facilities within the City, as well as facilities located outside
City limits. Many of these facilities located outside the City
will be needed to provide reliable gas and electric service to
SDG&E's customers within the City.
SDG&E expects it will finance approximately half of the
cost of these new facilities (about $1 billion) through debt.
Interest on that debt will be passed along to SDG&E's ratepayers.
Because the CPUC requires SDG&E's rates to be set on a uniform
basis, gas and electric rates imposed on city residents will be
equally affected by interest expense on debt issued to finance
facilities within the City and facilities located outside the
city.
In order to minimize its retail electric and gas rates,
since 1983 SDG&E has borrowed over $550 million on a tax-exempt
basis through the City of San Diego and over $100 million on a
tax-exempt basis through the California Pollution Control
Financing Authority (the "CPCFA"). Such tax-exempt financing now
is possible only to the extent the California Debt Limit
Allocation Committee makes a share of the State's private
activity bond volume cap available. In recent years, SDG&E has
been unsuccessful in obtaining the full amount of desired private
activity bond volume cap. SDG&E believes its chances of
obtaining additional volume cap will be enhanced if the City also
is in a position to issue tax-exempt revenue bonds for the
benefit of SDG&E.
SDG&E has indicted an interest in borrowing up to
$100 million on a tax-exempt basis through the city in 1992.
However, the attached ordinance would not obligate the city to
issue any bonds for the benefit of SDG&E. Rather, it would
2
'-Z-
merely empower the city in the future to determine to issue such
bonds.
Authoritv for Amendment
section 200 of the Charter of the City provides, in
part, as follows:
"The City shall have the power to make and enforce
all laws and regulations in respect to municipal
affairs, subject only to such restrictions and
limitations as may be provided in this Charter and in
the Constitution of the state of California.
In section 3.48.010 of the Municipal Code the City Council has
found and determined that the city's financing and refinancing of
industrial and commercial development within the City constitutes
a "municipal affair" of the City. Accordingly, section
3.48.020(K) presently limits such financing to "industrial and
commercial" facilities that are "located within the city."
section 3.48.200 permits these aspects of the Municipal Code to
be amended, provided the interests of holders of outstanding
bonds are not adversely affected.
The attached ordinance includes a finding and
determination of the city Council that the issuance of revenue
bonds for the purpose of financing and refinancing regional
utility facilities also constitutes a "municipal affair" of the
City. It also includes a statement that the City Council is of
the opinion that the proposed amendments will not impair or
adversely affect the interests of existing bondholders. It is
proposed that these city Council findings and determinations be
confirmed and validated by a final judgment of the California
state courts before the City actually issues any bonds pursuant
to these amendments.
Bonds
Any bonds issued by the city on behalf of SDG&E will be
limited obliqation revenue bonds and will not constitute an
indebtedness against the general credit or taxing power of the
City or the state of California. Payment of the bonds will be
solely from and secured by a pledge of revenues to be received
from SDG&E pursuant to a Loan Agreement to be entered into prior
to the issuance of any bonds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As mentioned, any bonds issues will be limited
obligations of the city of Chula vista. All staff and other
costs incurred relating to a bond issue will be reimbursed to the
City by SDG&E.
3
b --3
In addition to the above, City staff and SDG&E have
discussed the payment of a one-time fee, payable at the time of
issuance of bonds, in an amount equal to .25% of the principal
amount of the revenue bonds issued for the benefit of SDG&E. The
fee is the same as currently charged by the City of San Diego,
Thus, if the City were to issue $100 million of revenue bonds for
the benefit of SDG&E, the city would expect to receive $250,000
in fees.

city and promotes the public health, safety and welfare of
the city by reducing the incidence of crime, improving the

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 7
Meeting Date03/24/92
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution 11.;41 Amending FY 1991-92 Budget
to Add a Temporary Position In Unclassified
Service in the Environmental Management Unit
and Appropriating Funds Therefore.
SUBMITTED BY:
Conservation Coordinator N3
City Manager (jJ,/{, (4/5ths Vote: Yes-1LNo_)
{-I' j
REVIEWED BY:
BACKGROUND :
City Council adopted a mandatory recycling ordinance (Chapter 8.25
of the Chula Vista Municipal Code) on February 4th, 1992. This
ordinance will require the implementation of yard waste,
industrial, commercial, multi-family recycling programs under a
phased implementation timeline, by July 1993. Implementation of
these Citywide recycling programs is in accordance with the County
of San Diego's mandatory recycling ordinance and should provide
sufficient waste diversion to meet the State's AB 939 diversion
requirement of 25% by 1995.
Currently, little City staff time is allocated toward integrating
recycling and waste reduction in schools. Staff realizes the
importance of providing recycling education to children and young
adults in order to foster a recycling ethic that will assist in
implementing current recycling programs and insure recycling and
waste reduction habits in generations to come. Studies indicate
that instituting recycling education in schools not only increases
general environmental awareness, but also increases participation
in recycling programs.
This report describes a proposed recycling and waste reduction
educational project to assist area schools in incorporating
recycling education into their school curricula activities. This
report also describes a recommended use of the Waste Management
Trust fund for the hiring of a temporary, part-time intern to
assist with implementation of the project. Council established the
Waste Management Trust Fund to be used in source reduction,
recycling and other programs that may help to stabilize disposal
generation and costs over the long term.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution amending FY 1991-1992 budget
to add a temporary, part-time intern position in the unclassified
service and appropriating funds.

BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Resource Conservation
Commission will review this report at its March 23, 1992 meeting.
A brief oral presentation can be given to Council about the RCC
discussion, if requested.
DISCUSSION:
Recycling and waste reduction requires each of us to change our
habits--a task that is not always easy, especially for adults. As
the next generation, children will have already developed the
"recycling habit" provided that recycling and waste reduction
education is integrated into school programming.
Staff has made preliminary contact with school administrators
regarding the incorporation of recycling and waste reduction into
school programming. However, because of current recycling program
demands staff resources are not available to devote sufficient
attention to this effort. Staff feels that educating school
children and young adults about the importance of recycling and
waste reduction is a vital aspect of recycling program development.
Staff therefore recommends the hiring of an intern to work on
incorporating recycling education into school programming.
The goal of hiring an intern would be to set up the necessary
infrastructure for incorporating recycling education into the Chula
Vista Elementary School District and the Sweetwater Union High
School District. Staff proposes to hire the intern for ten weeks,
through the beginning of June. The intern would work under the
supervision of the Conservation Coordinator. In this way, the
recycling education infrastructure can be in place for the next
school year. Staff can make an assessment of the success of the
intern's work at that time, in order to evaluate the need for
additional intern assistance.
The County of San Diego has developed a recycling and waste
reduction curriculum for kindergarten through sixth grade. This
interactive, activity oriented curriculum, entitled "RAYS: Recycle
and You Save," is available free of charge to teachers. Staff
(i.e., the proposed intern) would work with the County and I Love
a Clean San Diego (under contract with the County for educational
awareness) to ensure that teachers in the Chula Vista Elementary
School District receive a copy of the curricula. Staff will also
work with I Love a Clean San Diego County to provide teacher in-
service trainings on the curricula.
Curricula for junior high school and high school is available for
purchase from various agencies. A curricula developed by the Keep
America Beautiful, Inc. for junior and high school age children
has recently been purchased by the Environmental Management Unit
for use in the City. Additional educational materials appropriate
for young adults will be investigated as part of the proposed
educational project. Staff will also consult with the County, I
Love a Clean San Diego and other agencies for additional recycling
educational activities that can be incorporated into school
l~l.

Meeting Date 3/24/92
Resolution /~~~, Accepting bids and awarding contract to
Trasig Corporation for installation of bicycle detection loops
at various traffic signal Al~tions in the City of Chula Vista
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Work~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes___No~)
In Fiscal Year 1990-91, the Board of Directors of the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG), allocated Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds to
the City of Chula Vista for the installation of bicycle detection loops at
various signalized intersections in the City of Chula Vista.
ITEM TITLE:
At 2:00 p.m. on March 3, 1992, the Director of Public Works received sealed
bids in Conference Room No. 3 of the Public Services Building for the
installation of bicycle detection loops at various signalized intersections.
A low bid of $92,205 was received from Trasig Corporation. This low bid is
below the Engineer's estimate of $113,000. Staff has reviewed the low
bidder's contract and recommend awarding said contract to Trasig Corporation
in the amount of $92,205.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution accepting the bids and
awarding the contract to Trasig Corporation in the amount of $92,205 and
authorizing a change order to complete the bicycle loop program at 12
additional intersections for an estimated additional cost of $42,000.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
There are approximately 55 traffic actuated signalized intersections in the
City that do not detect the presence of a bicyclist. To rectify this problem,
SANDAG has allocated Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds to Chula Vista
to retrofit traffic signals with loop detectors (magnetic detection devices
imbedded in the pavement) that will detect the presence of bicycles. Last FY
1990-91 eleven signalized intersections were corrected to detect the presence
of bicyclists. This bicycle detection loop contract will correct 32
additional signalized intersections. It was staff's intent to complete the
remaining 12 intersections under a separate contract. However, the very
favorable low bid allows us to complete the bicycle improvements under a
contract change order. It should be noted that all new traffic signals
designed and constructed in recent years have bicycle detection loops
incorporated as standard design features.

163,850.00
184,110.00
The low bid of $92,205 submitted by Trasig Corporation is approximately 20,000
below the staff's estimated cost to perform the work. Funds are available
from the TOA fund account. Because of the favorable low bid, staff recommend
Council to authorize a change order to install bike loops at the remaining 12
signalized intersections for an estimated additional cost of $42,000. The
total cost to complete the bicycle loop program under this contract is
approximately $134,205. The actual total of the change order may be slightly
different when the actual number of loops to be modified is determined.

REVIEWED BY: City Manager f'..'fl. (4/5ths Vote: Yes_No...l.J
At 2:00 p.m. on March 4, 1992, in the Public Services Building, the Director
of Public Works received sealed bids for the placement of Portland Cement
Concrete on Bonita Glen Drive at Bonita Road in the City of Chu1a Vista. The
project will remove all asphalt concrete pavement and replace with 8-inch
Portland Cement concrete from Bonita Road to approximately 200 ft. south of
Bonita road. The item is to approve the agreement with Shell Oil Company and
award the contract for work on Bonita Glen Drive.
ITEM TITLE:
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Accept bids and award contract to Concrete Contractors Interstate in the
amount of $29,918.45.
2. Approve the agreement with Shell Oil relative to contribution of half of
the cost of the contract.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: The Safety Commission recommended the area
be reconstructed with concrete with costs to be shared by Shell Oil Company
and the City of Chu1a Vista on an equal basis.
DISCUSSION:
The Safety Commission considered this item due to the problems associated with
pavement deterioration caused by the car wash water runoff. Shell has agreed
to repave in Portland Cement Concrete the easterly half of the street where
pavement deterioration is occurring. The Safety Commission recommended that
the entire street be reconstructed with concrete with both Shell Oil and the
City paying half the cost.
At the May 21, 1991 Council meeting, staff was directed to prepare an
agreement with Shell Oil Company providing for payment of 1/2 of the street
improvements and the City paying the remainder. That agreement is before
Council for approval. In addition, Council approved the amount of $16,300
from the Pavement Overlay Program (250-2501-ST515) to cover the City's share
of the improvements. Council also authorized the waiver of inspection fees

pavement deteri orat i on caused by the the car wash water runoff. She 11 has
agreed to repave in Portland Cement Concrete the westerly half of the street
where other pavement deterioration is occurring. The Safety Commission
recommended that the entire street be reconstructed with concrete with both
Shell Oil and the City paying half the cost. Plans have been submitted which
proposed a half street in concrete. Upon review of those plans, it became
apparent that the reconstruction would work much better if the entire street
were redone. Cross slopes and drainage where Bonita Glen Drive meets Bonita
Road can be addressed much better if the entire street is reconstructed in
concrete. There are funds available in the pavement overlay program which
coul d be used for thi s project, staff recommends that Council approve the
funds to pay for half the cost. The total cost is estimated to be $32,600.
Staff is requesting that Council approve $16,300 from funds budgeted for the
overlay program in order to construct the westerly half of the roadway. Shell
Oil Company is presently paying for City maintenance until the street is
reconstructed. Consequently, Shell Oil wants to finish the work in accordance
rr lo-S
Page 2, Item~
Meeting Date 5/21/91
with the Safety Commission requirements. Staff recommends that no fees be
charged for inspection of the improvements being installed. Shell Oil is
paying plan check fees. El iminating the inspection fee will represent the
City's share of the processing cost and be the City's contribution to design
costs.
Copies of the July 12, 1990 and October 11, 1990 Safety Commission agenda are
attached.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are proposed to be utilized from the pavement overlay
program account 250-2501-ST515 in the amount of $16,300. loss of
approximately $1,500 in full cost recovery revenue for inspection services.

SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
Item 2a
Meeting Date 10/11/90
Shell Oil Company Car Wash - Bonita Glen Drive
City Traffic Engineer n 1_
F-I'-'"" t./.f2.
BACKGROUND:
The Safety Commission and Public Works Department have been working with Shell
Oil company since February, 1989 to remedy the pavement deterioration on
Bonita Glen Drive due to the water runoff from the car wash at 100 Bonita Road.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Safety Commi ss i on recommend to the City Counc il to
have Shell Oil Company:
1. Expedite the needed modifications to the car wash.
2. Continue to work with the Safety Commission and staff until the pavement
deterioration caused by the car wash water runoff is mitigated.
DISCUSSION:
At the February 1989 Safety Commission meeting, the Safety Commission (Braden)
referred to staff that something be done to reduce the pavement deterioration
caused by the excessive water runoff from the Shell Oil Company gas
station/car wash located at 100 Bonita Road. Apparently, water from vehicles
exiting the car wash and turning right onto Bonita Glen Drive and Bonita Road
was removing the fine aggregate on the roadway surface. Due to the high usage
by vehicles, the pavement has subsequently been repaved several times by City
crews. Shell Oil Company has reimbursed the City for expenses related to the
pavement work.
Several meetings with Shell Oil and City of Chu1a Vista staff and Safety
Commission members have been held. Various proposals and estimates to
mitigate the water runoff have been made:
1. Reconstruct the east half of Bonita Glen Drive in concrete ($25,000)
2. Reconstruct the entire street width of Boni ta G1 en Dri ve in concrete
($50,000)
3. Shell Oil Company to modify/replace the car wash equipment by adding a
dryer or blower ($40,000)
The City of Chu1 a Vi sta had wanted to have the roadway and car wash work
completed by late 1990. Due to budgetary constraints by Shell Oil Company,
the car wash modifications have been postponed until 1991 and no firm
agreement has been established between the two entities for the roadway
reconstruction.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Brooks Herring, Shell Oil Company, 511 North Brookhurst, Anaheim, CA.
I appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight this evening. I will keep my
comments brief. As is evident by the package that staff has prepared for you this
evening, Shell has been working with the City of Chula Vista to alleviate the problem
that has occurred on Bonita Glen Drive. The discussions have gone on for an
extended period of time and I am here to tell you, tonight, that we are ready to
resolve those issues--as I know you are--and that is essentially the thrust of the staff
report, to come to a solution and conclusion to this and set out some timetables for
that. I have not been involved in this process since its inception; however, I have
been involved with it for quite some time, dealing with Mr. Lippitt, Mr. Rivera, and
Mr. Thomas. I think that we all have a reasonable understanding of where the other
is coming from. It appeared to me after some correspondence exchanges, that you
have in your packets, that one of the primary objectives of the City of Chula Vista--
your Commission and the staff--was for us (Shell) to pave half of Bonita Glen Drive,
from essentially our property line 'all the way down to the intersection. I am
prepared tonight to tell you that we wiII do that. As is indicated in the co=ents in
the correspondence, we do have some budget constraints which have prohibited us
from doing that in 1990. I can tell you, that assuming our plans go expeditiously
through the City, we would be able to accomplish this within the first quarter of 1991
and I am sure that Mr. Lippitt and his staff would assist us in any way that they could
in order to see that our construction plans were approved and that we got the work
ready to be done. I think Mr. Lippitt has expressed a preference that we do the
work under the approval of the City of Chula Vista and, we are prepared to do that.
That is what I am here to co=it to you this evening. We are here to try and find
a solution to the problem. We think this is it. I would be interested to hear the
co=ents from the staff. I think they wiII concur with that and if I can answer any
questions this evening or provide any further information I would be happy to do
that. Thank you for your time.
Mr. Rivera stated that staff would not be giving a report on this item; however, staff
is there to answer any questions that the Safety Commission desires.
Commissioner Militscher asked if he understood it correctly that Mr. Herring was
saying in 1991 they (Shell) were prepared to make this correction.
Mr. Herring responded, stating in the first quarter. We are in October now, it would
probably take us--well I am going to say 60 days--to get our plans completed, which
would put us right into January 1991.
Commissioner Militscher asked if plans were not drawn up prior to this.

Safety Commission Meeting
Minutes
October 11, 1990
Mr: Herring stated that plans for construction have not been drawn up prior to this.
Chair Braden asked; construction of what--just the roadway.
Mr. Herring responded, yes ma'am.
Commissioner Koester asked if this were going to be in concrete.
Mr. Herring stated yes, that is correct.
Chair Braden asked why this (the drawing of plans, as it is just a short distance) take
such a lengthy period.
Mr. Herring responded that perhaps the Chair would like to address this question to
staff and see what they think a reasonable approval time would be for. Shell to
prepare those plans and have them reviewed by the City and get those approved.
Maybe staff could give you some more accurate information.
Chair Braden asked about the water, the dryer, is Shell going to go ahead with that.
Mr. Herring responded that Shell is currently investigating that. I am not here to
commit to you that Shell is going to do that. We anticipate making some
modifications to the car wash, whether that be in the form of a dryer or of some type
situation, I can't address that yet.
Commissioner Militscher stated that it seems to him that the Safety Commissioner
ought to recommend that they close that area off until such a time as the corrections
can be made. This has been going on for 1-1/2 years and if they haven't prepared
any plans in 1-1/2 years, I can't see it being done in the next three months either.
Mr. John Lippitt asked for permission to make a couple of comments-or think there
has been somewhat of a disagreement between Shell and the City up to this point
about what the proper procedure was.. Shell felt that if they did put the blower in,
that that would solve the problem, and staff felt that it would not solve the problem.
So, r think we have come to the conclusion--part of the deal is, is that we (the City)
would go out and repair the street right now, the way it is, and Shell would reimburse
us for that--the immediate repairs. So the street would be in good shape, and then
within three months then they would start into the construction to rebuild that half
of the street into concrete. Concrete is a type of material that withstands constant
water, whereas asphalt does not. To get any plans through process, they have to hire
an engineer and they have to go out and do some surveying and they have to prepare
plans, they have to check with utility companies and do a lot of coordination on the
street job. It is not just simply pouring concrete because there are a lot of things
~
.J
It; - U
Safety Commission Meeting

Minutes
under the street that, you know, the utility companies are going to be concerned with.
So it takes a good two to three months even for a small job like that to get it through
the plan checking process and checking with all the other people that are affected.
I think that is the best way to go and I think we have reached a good milestone
tonight.
Chair Braden asked Mr. Lippitt if he felt that after that street is concreted that the
water will not make a difference, that a dryer is not needed.
Mr. Lippitt responded, stating--well, two things. I think they are still going to look
at that, because they have a lot of water problems on their own site and they may do
it. But, in the street, the problem is tracking. It is not so much the water dropping
off the vehicles, although that is part of it too, in fact you can even see it. If you look
at the potholes, there is a deterioration just at the driveway and then there is also
deterioration down by the Bonita Road where vehicles stop and wait for the signal.
Concrete withstands water much, much better than asphalt does. I think the problem
will be cured. I think that if they put the dryer in there and don't make the street
concrete, I think they will still have a problem. I don't think that will solve the
problem. So, as far as the street is concerned, I think it will stay, you know what we
call in a good state of repair, for many years if they put it in concrete.
Chair Braden remarked that suppose they choose not to put in the dryer and there
is some deterioration of the road, then what. How much time are we giving Shell to
make up their mind regarding elimination of some of that water.
Mr. Lippitt stated that we (City staff) will be going out in the next couple of weeks
and doing some minor repairs to the road and sending Shell the bill. That should last
for three to four months easily. What we are saying is that we are giving them three
or four months to build that road in concrete. Is that what you mean.
Chair Braden stated that was not what she meant. I mean, are you going to wait for
damage to happen again, say they decide they don't want to do the blower (the
dryer), for example. Are you going to wait until some deterioration shows up again
before we start up this process again or is somebody going to keep an eye on it.
Mr. Lippitt responded, stating that surely we will keep an eye on it, but it is our
opinion that if they do it in concrete, you won't get deterioration of the pavement.
All our gutters in the streets are concrete, the gutters are concrete and the rest of the
pavement is asphalt and there is constant water tlowing in the gutters. Concrete is
designed to handle water on a constant basis. I don't think it is going to be a
problem.

Safety Commission Meeting
Minutes
October 11, 1990
Commissioner Thomas noted that he was on the subcommittee that worked with Mr.
Herring and the staff for 1-1/2 years, and that we are getting, basically, exactly what
we asked for. r am not happy with the time frame. We expected this to happen in
the third or fourth quarter in 1990, r am not happy with that, however, we are getting
exactly what we have been asking for for 1-1/2 years. The proposal is that he
(Mr. Herring) will give it to us in writing--that Shell will have it to us in writing. So
all of the effort that staff has put forward, we are getting it. We are getting it a little
bit later than what we wanted, but we are getting it right now.
MOTION
That we accept Shell's proposal. Pin Mr. Herring down to a date that the letter will
be received in Mr. Lippitt's office, with the date that it (the street) will be concreted,
and also for the approval of the temporary repairs and that Shell will pay the bill.
MSUC [ThomaslKoester] 6-0.
Commissioner Thomas asked Mr. Herring when would we have that letter in Mr.
Lippitt's office.
Mr. Herring replied, asking when would you like it.
Commissioner Thomas said fax it by tomorrow.
Mr. Herring stated that he was sorry, but that that was not possible because my boss
is out of town. I understand your frustration. He asked if two weeks from today
would be okay.
Commissioner Thomas, on behalf of the Commission, replied that that would be fine.
That we (the City) can go ahead and make the repairs and send the bill to Shell.
Mr. Herring said yes, that Mr. Lippitt and I have agreed to that and that has been
done in the past and that is fine.
Chair Braden expressed thanks on behalf of the Commission to Mr. Lippitt for being
available at this meeting to resolve this issue.

Dear Mr. Lippitt:
Pursuant to the meeting held October 14, 1990 between Brooks Herring,
representing Shell Oil Company, and the Safety Commission of the City of
Chu1a Vista, Shell Oil Co. has agreed to repave one-half of Bonita Glen
Drive in concrete from a line extending from our southern property line
to the intersection of Bonita/Bonita Glen.
As discussed, Shell Oil Company will reimburse the City of Chula Vista
for temporary street repair of the above described section of Bonita
Glen Drive until the final repair can be performed by Shell Oil Company.
The repaving of Bonita Glen Drive will be performed durinif the first
quarter of 1991 barring any unforeseen problems.
I am pleased that we have finally settled upon a solution to this
problem. We will perform the necessary work as expeditiously as
possible.
Very truly yours,

CAR WASH AT 100 BONITA ROAD/BONITA GLEN DRIVE, CHULA VISTA,
CALIFORNIA
(
At the June 21, 1990, meeting in which , Gary Brewer, Brooks
Herring, Richard Zanoni from Shell Oil Company, Bob Thomas from
the Safety Commission, Frank Rivera from the Engineering
Department and myself, met on site at the gas station to discuss
the asphalt deterioration on Bonita Glen Drive along the frontage
of the Shell Oil property. The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss whether or not the entire roadway would be reconstructed
from aSlDhalt to concrete. It was decided at this meeting that
Shell Oil Company will continue to pay for asphalt repairs made
by City crews on an as-needed basis. Shell oil needs to
eliminate the water run off onto the sidewalk and roadway. It
was also mentioned that Shell would be replacing the car wash
system at a cost of approximately $40,000. This car wash system
will include a dryer or a blower. We appreciate your concerns to
improve the car wash dryer system. Even with the dryer,,. the
water may still be tracked onto the roadway. Al though water
runoff may be reduced, we do not believe that these changes will
eliminate the water runoff.
L
At the June 21 meeting, Shell Oil Company was to write or prepare
a letter with cost proposals for reconstructing Bonita Glen Drive
in concrete for half the roadway width and the entire 175'
frontage length and to be received by the City of Chula Vista
wi thin three to four weeks of that meeting. If the proposals
were approved by both the City Council and Shell oil Company, the
work could be completed by the end of this year, 1990. This was
subject to City funding and approval from the City Council for
the city share of the project, which would be the west side of
Bonita Glen Drive. The cost for the cmtire road\~ay would be
shared by Shell oil Company and the City of Chula Vista.

As agreed upon by Brooks Herring and myself the city will make
interim repairs and submit the bill to Shell oil for payment.
The Safety Commission and the city Council are concerned about
the length of time this matter has taken. The City has been
working with Shell Oil since February 1989 and it appears that
after 1 1/2 years of negotiating we are still at a stand still.
We do not want to wait until mid 1991 to resolve this matter as
mentioned in your letter dated JUly 31, 1990.
The Safety Commission wants to present to the City Council the
issue of closing the Bonita Glen Drive access to eliminate the
hazards caused by the wet sidewalk and deteriorated roadway
surface to pedestrians and motorists.
I have included a copy of the written minutes from the June 21,
1990 meeting, which were taken by Frank Rivera a few minutes
after the meeting concluded. These minutes differ somewhat from
the context of the letter received dated July 31, 1990. I hope
that these minutes clarify some of these issues which were
discussed. If you have any questions regarding this matter
please feel free to contact me at (619) 691-5021.

representatives and personnel from Shell's Southern California District.
Brooks Herring, District Engineer, has informed me that you would like
written confirmation of our plans for the car wash operation at this
site.

As Brooks indicated to you, it is our plan to replace the
wash equipment and add a drying mechanism early in 1991.

If this action does not achieve the desired result, we are prepared to
pave half of Bonita Glen between the southern boundary of our property
and the intersection of Bonita and Bonita Glen utilizing concrete.
Should we get to the point of this paving effort, we would be glad to
participate with the City if you decide to work on the other half of the
street. I am aware that you and Brooks have previously discussed this
option.
Shell continues to want to cooperate with the City of Chula Vista in the
solution to this problem. I hope this letter clarifies our plans. As_
we prepare our 1991 budget, this project will become a part of that
plan. If you have further questions. please contact Brooks Herring at

Re: 100 Bonita/Bonita Glen
Chula Vista. CA
Dear Commission Hembers:
During the past several months. I have worked with John Lippit. Director
of Public Works. Frank Rivera. City Traffic Engineer. and Bob Thomas of
your commi ssi on concerni ng the water on Boni ta Gl en that results from
cars utilizing our car wash facility at the subject location. I
understand the concern is the potential erosion of the asphalt street
due to this water.
At Shell. we are also concerned about insuring that we do not operate in
a manner that would damage surrounding streets. Therefore. we plan to
alter the existing car wash equipment to provide drying capability. thus
reducing the opportunity for cars to leave our site with water. This
work will be performed in the near future.
I ;,el ieve - that we can all agree that the existing condition of the
street adjacent to our property is superior to the remainder of the
street. primarily due to our recent financial participation in
resurfacing a portion of the street. The changes we propose to make in
our equipment should maintain the integrity of the street.
I trust that your concerns will be satisfied by our plan. I will
continue to keep Hr. Rivera and Hr. Lippit informed of our progress and
will work with him on any other matters related to this site. Please
feel free to contact me at 714-520-3486.if I can answer any questions or
provide further information. I regret not being able to attend your
commission meeting of June 14, but I will be glad to visit with you at
another opportunity.

the asphalt patching until the roadway is replaced by concrete.
Shell Oil Company will be making some modifications to the car wash. At a
cost of approximately $40,000, Shell will be replacing the car washing
equipment to a newer more efficient system which will include a dryer or
blower. This newer car washing equipment will reduce the amount of water
runoff. It is anticipated to be installed late this year.
It was agreed by all present that Bonita Glen Drive will be reconstructed with
concrete. Shell Oil Company and the City of Chula Vista will share the cost
of the project. City staff is awaiting a proposal from shell for the work.
If this project is approved, work can be completed by the end of the year.
The City will obtain the funding and approval from the City Council for half
of the costs.
FISCAL IMPACT: $25,000 estimate.

MOTION
Approve minutes of the June 14, 1990 Safety Commission meeting.

2. CONTINUED l'vlATTERS:
(2A) Report on Bonita Road Shell Oil Company eas station car wash
Frank Rivera presented staff report. Bob Thomas, Safety Commission, Brooks
Herring and employees of Shell Oil Company, the Director of Public Works, John
Lippitt, and I met and discussed the asphalt condition along Bonita Glen Drive where
Shell Oil Company has their car wash. At the meeting we had with them, it was
decided that Shell will continue to pay for any asphalt repairs which the City does on
Bonita Glen Drive due to their car wash. A couple of times the City has replaced
the pavement and Shell has paid the bill. Shell Oil Company informed us that they
will be removing all of their present car wash equipment at the gas station and
installing a new system which will cost approximately $40,000. This new equipment
will include a dryer or a blower. It is expected that this will reduce the amount of
water runoff which runs off onto Bonita Glen Drive. We also discussed that we
wanted the pavement on Bonita Glen Drive--the roadway reconstructed from asphalt

to concrete. It was decided that Shell will be paying for one-half of this cost.. Shell
will be obtaining an estimate and submitting it to the City and the City will be sharing
the cost. At this point we have not received an estimate for the amount of work; it
is estimated that the project will cost approximately $50,000, with Shell paying one-
half or $25,000. We anticipate that the car wash will be installed later this year and
that reconstruction of Bonita Glen Drive in the area of the Shell Gas Station will be
underway within a few months. The City's share will be obtained through funding
approved by the City Council.
Chairman Decker asked if it was staffs opinion that this issue could have been
mitigated through original planning by the Planning Department.
Mr. Rivera responded that was a difficult question to answer in that there are several
car washes in the City and we do not experience nearly the same amount of
pavement deterioration that we do at the Shell car wash. The volume of the vehicles
and the absence of a drying system is what has caused the pavement to deteriorate
rather rapidly.
Chairman Decker stated that he did not wish a debate, but noted that other car
washes in the City do not drain into the streets.
Mr. Rivera stated that other car washes also have a larger area where they can dry
cars or the water can runoff on the private property.
Chairman Decker wondered about the fiscal impact to the City of $25,000. He stated
that realistically, this is not out of our pocket, but this is taxpayers money -- and
asked if this figure was a conservative estimate or could the figure go beyond the
$50,000 total cost.
Mr. Rivera responded that the range of estimates were from $40,000 to
approximately $70,000 and the estimate includes a variety of items which we do not
have to install, but the cost will be approximately $50,000. It depends on how long
Shell Oil Company decides to wait on this project. Shell has budgetary constraints
and the longer they wait the more expensive this project will be.
Chairman Decker said he was curious about this, asking staff if this matter had been
discussed with the City Attorney and if our [Safety Commission] actions are within
the Charter.

)p...).s
Safety Commission Meeting
July 12, 1990
Minutes
Mr. Rivera stated that staff has been working with the Safety Commission to' try to
eliminate this safety problem and that staff wants to get it resolved as best we can.
At this point the matter has been brought before the Safety Commission for review
and action so that then staff can forward their recommendation and the Safety
Commission's action to the City Council for final determination.
Commissioner Thomas [a member of the Safety Commission subcommittee to deal
with this issue] stated that we have to continue what we are doing and not let up on
the pressure with Shell to get this matter resolved satisfactorily. We had a meeting
on June 21 and Brooks Herring [Shell Oil representative] was to give a report to
John Lippitt within two to three weeks. We do not have it. One of the things I did
not like, coming out of the June 21 meeting, is that since they pick up the
responsibility they indicated that is Shell if not moving fast enough for the City and
we feel there is deterioration for traffic safety, that we could basically go ahead and
pave the road and they will pick up the bill. It was kind of like, well if we [Shell] are
not moving fast enough, go ahead and then give us the bill and we will deal with it
on down the road.
Commissioner Waller wanted to know why the City is being held responsible for even
one-half of the cost for the repair, when it was their problem to begin with.
Mr. Rivera stated that it was decided by the Director of Public Works that it was not
fair to subject Shell Oil Company to reconstruct the entire roadway, since the water
damage is primarily constrained to the easterly half of the roadway and the City does
not want the roadway half in concrete and half in asphalt. It was felt that the entire
[width] of the road should be in all concrete and so it was decided that it should be
a project shared by both the City and Shell Oil Company. Shell will be spending the
$40,000 for the car wash plus the $25,000 to $30,000 for one-half of the roadway
repair.
3. NEW BUSINESS
(3A) Report on traffic concerns for Nadon Avenue south of East "L" Street
Mr. Rivera informed the Commission that staff received a request from Mr. Matias
who lives at the intersection of Nacion Avenue and Nita Court. He is concerned
about vehicular speed on Nacion Avenue in that area. Nacion Avenue is a street
with a 36 foot curb to curb width and the speed limit is posted at 25 mph. Staff has
completed traffic counts in the area and there are approximately 4,035 vehicles per
day--half in each direction, 2,000 northbound and 2,000 southbound. The area has
many curves and also a grade of approximately 12 percent. The horizontal curves in
the area have a design speed of 25 mph. There are also curve warning signs on
Nacion Avenue advising motorists to drive 20 mph. In a review of the accident

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item I /
Meeting Date 3/24/92
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution /l."CSS:2.Supporting a Special Act District for the Ownership,
Management and Operation of the Clean Water Program (Sewer
Treatment and Water Reclamation) for the Greater San Diego Area.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works
City Manager ~~ <5~
REVIEWED BY:
(4/Sths Vote: Yes_NoL)
BACKGROUND:
On January 8, 1991 City Council approved Resolution 16004 giving conditional approval to
formation of a Special Act District (SAD) for Operation of the Clean Water Program. The two
conditions that Chula Vista wanted included in the bill were: 1) that the act be amended to
provide that an agency could withdraw from the District without penalty if done so within one
year from formation or until major district-wide funding obligations are made for constructing
regional facilities, and 2) that the City of San Diego assume all continuing obligations, or the
cost thereof, contained in the Sewage Disposal Agreement of 1960 between City of San Diego
and City of Chula Vista, to build the original Metro I sewer capacity. The current Act does
include these provisions.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution supporting SB 1225, Creating
a Special Act District for the Greater San Diego Area as currently drafted.
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: None
DISCUSSION:
The Special Act District will be a separate level of government (Special District) that will own
and operate the sewage treatment system for the City of San Diego and the 15 participating
Agencies. It will be governed by representatives of each member agency appointed by the
legislative bodies of each agency. The City of San Diego will have 6 members, County of San
Diego and City of Chula Vista 2 members each, and the remaining member agencies will have
1 member each. All items will be determined by a majority vote, unless an agency calls for a
weighted vote, the motion must then be seconded by a member of another agency. The
weighted vote will be based upon sewage flow, with the City of San Diego receiving a maximum
percentage of 50%. Therefore, the City of San Diego and one other Agency, could carry a
weighted vote. However, weighted votes could not be used to issue or approve revenue bonds.
The issuance of major debt would have to be approved by a two-thirds vote of the board.

Meeting Date 3/24/92
Assemblyman Peace spoke to the Governmental Advisory Group (GAG) on why he opposed the
Special Act District. He was opposed to the region entering into such a massive project without
exhausting every effort to find less costly alternatives to treat sewage. He was also
philosophically opposed to creating another level of government, that could have major taxing
and cost implications on its citizens, without any direct connection of the board members to the
public. He stated that two ways to resolve this concern were to: 1) direct election of the board
members by the public, or 2) approve of the issuance of debt by all the legislative bodies of the
member agencies. At this point the Senate Bill is stopped in Mr. Peace's Committee.
The City of El Cajon has also taken a position opposing creation of the Special Act District.
Their reasons are based on their belief that they can reach a better deal if they keep the current
contractual relationship they now have with the City of San Diego. .
The City of Chula Vista, while supporting a Special Act District, has not yet taken a position
on their level of participation in the new District. Consultant studies are ongoing that are
addressing Chula Vista's position. Therefore, at this time, we are only supporting a Special Act
District, to be the owner and operator of the sewage treatment system instead of it being the sole
responsibility of the City of San Diego. A decision on our level of participation will have to be
made preferably before the establishment of the District, but not later than one year after the
District is formed and in operation.
Currently, the City of San Diego owns and operates the sewage treatment system and the City
Council makes all the decisions. The participating Agencies are in a contractual relationship
with the City. All costs are passed on to the Agencies, including operation, maintenance, and
construction of betterments. In 1987, the City Council decided to drop its waiver application,
and begin the process to convert Pt. Lorna to secondary treatment. That decision was made
without requesting any input from the Participating Agencies. It was felt by all involved that
the establishment of a Special Act District, or some other form of joint ownership, would give
every agency more say in the decisions involving sewage treatment.
FISCAL IMPACT: Analysis by the GAG fiscal advisor indicates that a Special Act District
would save the District $5-10 million compared to other governing mechanismssuch as a special
district, sanitary district, or a Joint Powers Agreement.

An act relating to the San Diego Area Wastewater Management
District.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1225, as amended, Killea. San Diego Area Wastewater Management
District.
(1) Under existing law, there are no special provisions for
wastewater management within San Diego County.
This bill would enact the San Diego Area Wastewater Management
District Act for wastewater management within specified areas of San
Diego County. The bill would specify the powers and duties of the
district and provide for the management and financing of the district.
The bill would require the district board to act only by ordinance,
resolution, or motion and would provide that a person who violates any
district ordinance is guilty of an infraction or a misdemeanor,
punishable as prescribed, thereby imposing a state-mandated local
program by creating new crimes. The bill would also impose a
state-mandated local program by imposing various requireJDents on local
entities. .
- . ~
(2} The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that for certain costs no reimbursement is
required by this act for specified reasons.
#~7
2
[A> However, the bill would provide that if the Commission on State
Mandates determines that this bill contains other costs mandated by the
state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to those
statutory procedures and, if the statewide cost does not exceed
$1,000,000, shall be payable from the State Mandates Claims Fund. <A]
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.

REVIEWED BY:
On May 22, 1990, by Resolution 15627, Council approved an agreement with
Municipal Finance Administration for consulting services as project manager
for Otay Valley Road Assessment District 90-2 and Otay Rio Business Park
Assessment District B9-3. This item is to consider approval of the first
amendment to the agreement for a proposed increase in the amount of the
agreement. Adequate funds have already been appropriated by the Redevelopment
Agency for this CIP project which will cover the proposed increase in
compensation (996-9960-STI23).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council approve the resolution and
authorize the Mayor to execute said amendment.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Council approved an agreement with Municipal Finance Administration on May 22,
1990 to provide consulting services as a project manager because staff did not
have that expertise. The agreement included the following scope of work:
1. Coordinate the preparation of the financing/feasibility planes) for Otay
Valley Road, Phases I and II and Otay Rio Business Park, Phases I and II.
2. Coordinate the assessment district proceedings for Otay Valley Road,
Phase I and Otay Rio Business Park, Phases I and II.
3. Coordinate the activities related to the acquisition agreements for Otay
Rio Business Park, Phases I and II.
The proposed improvement of Otay Valley Road will be accomplished in two
phases. Phase I consists of widening the existing two lanes to six lanes with
a median and curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides from I-80S to Nirvana
Avenue. Phase II consists of widening the existing two lanes to four lanes,
with a median barrier and graded shoulders, from Nirvana Avenue to the Otay
Rio Business Park. The final approximately 800 feet of Phase II will
transition from four lanes to three lanes.
/.,2, I
Page Z Item /.<
Meeting Date 3/24/92
The agreement, executed in May 1990, calls for the consultant to be paid on an
hourly basis ($95/hour) for actual time expended providing project management
services. The not to exceed compensation amounts in the agreement are
budgetary limits based on the estimated time requirements for a typical
construction type assessment district proceeding. The hourly rate is not
proposed to change.
Since work began on the proceedings almost two years ago, a number of
complexities have arisen, which, in combination with changes in the scope of
the proceedings, will require substantially more project management time than
was originally estimated. Among the complexities are the existence and
investigation of the extent of hazardous waste and contaminated ground water
and the special financing considerations required by their existence, and the
investigation of a Reimbursement District to address property owner concerns
of possible future higher level development within the district. The changes
in scope involve the addition of Phase II improvements to the assessment
district proceedings and the anticipated provision of services during the
construction period.
The addition of Phase II expanded the area to be assessed to include the land
in the county occupied by the Nelson-Sloan quarry and extended the proposed
improvements into the county at the easterly end of Phase II. In order to
carry out assessment district activities in the county, a consent and
jurisdiction proceeding, involving the City Council and the Board of
Supervisors, is required. The provision of services during the construction
period is based on the need for an assessment district review of the Phase II
plans and specifications prior to bidding and the need to have assessment
district expertise available should questions arise during construction.
The consultant has requested an increase in the not to exceed amount in the
agreement related to the Otay Valley Road Assessment District based on an
estimate of the time required to complete both Phases I and II of the
proceedings. It is projected that the consultant will need an additional
$6,000 (approximately 63 hours) to complete the work.
Staff recommends that the project manager be retained because this work will
be completed when the district is finished and because of their background and
expertise in construction-type assessment districts which staff does not
have. In fact, present staff has not processed a construction-type district.
Staff also recommends retaining the consultant in order to provide continuity
to the project.
If this resolution is approved, Municipal Finance Administration's agreement
will be amended to add Otay Valley Road, Phase II within the Phase I district
and provide for consulting services during the construction period. Under
Section 3.B, the agreement would be amended to increase the compensation for
District proceedings for Otay Valley Road, Phase I from $15,000, to $21,000
for both Phases I and II. Total remuneration would increase by $6,000 from
$58,500 to $64,500. Staff, including Community Development, recommends
approval of the amendment modifying the scope of work and a corresponding
adjustment in compensation.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES
For the purposes of clarity in describing the scope of services

constructed in two phases. .Phase I consists of widening the
existing Otay Valley Road to a six lane divided street between
Interstate 805 and Nirvana Avenue with a transition to two
lanes immediately east of Nirvana Avenue and traffic flow
improvements approximately 3500 feet east of Nirvana Avenue
where Otay Valley Road turns abruptly to the south southeast.
The desi~n of the Phase I improvements is essentially
complete and construction of the improvements is anticipated
for late in Calendar year 1990.
2. Phase II consists of widening the existing two lane Otay
Valley Road to a six lane divided street from Nirvana Avenue
to the future intersection of paseo Ranchero approximately
4000 feet east of Nirvana Avenue. While a preliminary design

The applicant, the Baldwin Company, has submitted a sectional
Planning Area (SPA) Plan and related items for the 1,197.2-acre
Salt Creek Ranch project, located north of the EastLake Business
Park, northwest of Upper otay Reservoir and bisected by Proctor
Valley Road (Exhibit A, attached).
The property is primarily located within the Chula vista Sphere of
Influence and is included in the Chula vista General Plan but has
not yet been annexed. LAFCO is processing a Sphere Amendment for
240 acres of the 1,197 acre total as well as the Annexation
application concurrently with the City's SPA processing. A LAFCO
Commission hearing will likely be held in May with Chula vista
consideration to adopt an annexation resolution in June, 1992.

On February 26, 1992, the Planning commission certified SEIR-91-3
and held a public hearing to consider the SPA plan, Public
Facilities Financing Plan, Air Quality Improvement Plan and Water
Conservation Plan. The Commission continued the public hearing to
March 11, 1992, for consideration of the above items as well as the
PC District Regulations and Design Guidelines, CEQA Findings,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and Statement of overriding
Considerations. The Commission recommended that the city Council
approve all of the above items, subject to the conditions listed in
this report.
In addition to the actions noted above, the Planning commission
also requested staff to work with the applicant to reduce the total
number of units in Neighborhoods lOa, lOb, 11, 12, and 13 by
approximately 5%, but double the size of approximately 15 lots. In
addition, staff and the applicant were requested to evaluate the
feasibility of developing a portion of Subarea #3 at the same time
as phase I of the project is developed in order to make large lot
product available early on in the marketing of Salt Creek Ranch. It
was requested that staff return with a report on both of these
items when the tentative map comes before the Commission.
DISCUSSION
Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan
The Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan defines the general
location of all proposed uses and the general circulation system.
Its purpose is to serve as a bridge between general descriptions
contained in the General Plan and more detailed descriptions
proposed in the sectional Planning Area Plan.
The General Development Plan map is included as Exhibit B,
attached. It details that within the 1,197.2 acres of Salt Creek
Ranch, there are proposed a maximum of 2,817 dwelling units,
ranging from multiple family and townhomes to mid-size single-
family detached to large lot single-family dwellings. Also included
in the plan are two 10-acre elementary school sites, a 7-acre
neighborhood park and 20-acre community park, a 1-acre fire station
site, two Community Purpose Facility sites totally 7 acres and
351.1 acres of open space.

there would be cumulatively significant impacts in the following
areas:
. Aesthetic/Landform Alteration
. Water Supply
. Coastal Sage Habitat Loss

Summary
Land Use
Potential compatibility impacts would exist with adjacent
properties and developments.
The SPA Plan proposes specific techniques to ensure compatibility
with adjacent land uses. This EIR identifies sensitive surrounding
area and specifies mitigation to provide adequate buffer and design
at those boundaries/areas to ensure compatibility.
Inconsistencies with the General Plan involve the provision of
affordable housing. Measures include the provision of affordable
housing as determined by the 1991/92 Housing Element revisions to
be adopted by City Council.
Landform/Aesthetics
Urbanization will permanently alter existing topography, views to
the site and aesthetic character of the area. Measures require
detailed Open Space and Landscape Plan: sensitive grading, design
standards: natural open space preservation: greenbelt an scenic
highway view treatments: and extensive buffer treatments to be
created at the SPA Plan and subsequent stages (see Section 13
below) .

mitigation measures as set by DHS prior to issuance of any grading
permit. other measures include the preparation and approval of a
diversion ditch plan (or acceptable plan), an onsite mitigation
monitoring program, an erosion control plan, and a storm drain
plan.
Bioloqical Resources
Project development will significantly and directly impact riparian
wetlands, coastal sage scrub, native grassland habitats, and the
California gnat catcher and cactus wren, both sensitive species.
The additional SPA impact to riparian habitat is 0.2 acre.
To mitigate additional SPA impacts to 0.2 acre of riparian habitat,
ERCE recommends creation/enhancement of riparian habitat.
Construction practices and long-term urban activities present
secondary threats to adjacent and/or sensitive non-development
areas. Impact mi tigation includes construction acti vi ty
limitations to protect resource preservation areas; revegetation
with native species in fire break and cut slope areas; clearing and
trimming restrictions; fencing and landscape buffering around open
areas by dedication of a natural open space easement.
Public Services and utilities
Water:
The project will demand 1,531,531 gpd of potable water and 188,139
gpd of reclaimed water for a total average water demand of
1,719,670 gpd.
Impacts related to water can be adequately offset by requirements
cited in Section 3.9. Regional cumulative water supply impacts can
be slightly reduced by water conservation mitigation herein.
Waste Water
The project will generate approximately 788,800 gpd of waste water.
Mitigation measures include the approval of a Master Plan of
Sewerage for the project and the payment of waste water development
fees. Ultimate capacity of the Telegraph canyon and Salt Creek
interceptor will be determined prior to approval of final grading
plans.

Transportation and Circulation
The project would generate 31,290 daily vehicle trips with 2,777
trips expected during the morning peak hour and 2,986 trips
expected during the afternoon peak hour. Since the project site is
currently vacant, generation of these trips would be additional to
those trips already on the street network.
Major improvements to the surrounding roadway networks have been
identified to mitigate the traffic impact of this project.
Improvements necessary as a result of implementation of the SPA
Plan are outlined in section 3.7 Mitigation.

The potential impacts to prehistoric resources as a result of
implementation of the SPA Plan are identical to those that would
have occurred with implementation of the GDP.
sixteen of the 18 important sites will be directly impacted by the
project. Portions of six of those sites, and one additional site,
are also at risk of indirect impacts due to phased development of
the project. Also, the site possesses a high potential for the
existence of paleontological resources.
Recommended mitigation includes avoidance and/or data recovery of
important cultural resources. This invol ves a complete data
recovery program for cultural resource sites, and paleontological
monitoring during grading and, if necessary, a salvage program for
resources discovered.

Landform/Aesthetics
Short-term visual impacts will occur during the construction of
Hunte Parkway, East H street, and the waterline/reservoir. Short-
term visual impacts are not significant due to their limited
duration and temporary nature. No mitigation is required.
The pad elevation of the reservoir is higher than the elevation of
the project site and would be visible from most of the surrounding
area.
Measures to mitigate the visual impact of the reservoir include
landscaping the site and painting the tank an unobtrusive color.

Mitigation of impacts to important archeological resources due to
locating the reservoir and/or waterlines can be achieved through
either avoidance or by conducting a data recovery program.
Final SPA Plan Oesiqn Alternative
The Final SPA Plan design (Sec. 5.3) would maintain the same total
land use acreage (1,197.2) as the proposed project. However, the
amount of acreage allotted for residential, open space, and
institutional development would be redistributed. The total number
of dwelling units (2,662) would be less than the proposed project
by 155 dwelling units. The residential density for both designs is
the same at 3.67 dwelling units per acre. open space acreage is
somewhat less than that depicted on the original SPA design but
actually increased from that proposed in the GOP. Public
facilities acreage is slightly less than the proposed project by
1.2 acres. As described in the SEIR, this final design alternative
would have the same or less significant impacts as the described
project in Section 2.0 of the SEIR. The analysis in the EIR and
the summary are adequate for this alternative.

The CEQA Findings conclude that there would be significant
unmitigated impacts in the following areas: cumulative
landform/aesthetics, cumulative water supply, and biological off-
site impacts.
There would be significant but mitigable impacts in the following
areas: land use, landform, aesthetics--on and off site (project
level), hydrology, water quality, on-site biology, on- and off-site
cultural resources, traffic, noise, water supply and facilities,

Plan structure and Desion
Salt Creek Ranch is planned as a residential community with a wide
range of housing types which will become available to families and
individuals with various income levels and housing needs.
The project is basically divided into three subareas with each
subarea broken into 'individual and distinct neighborhoods.
Densities within the Salt Creek Ranch project are highest at the
western edge of the project and decrease as the project extends
easterly. Densities also decrease as the project progresses north
from the EastLake Business Park, located south of the project.
The focal point of the community is proposed to be the Salt Creek
corridor, which extends from the foothills of San Miguel Mountain,
bisects the proj ect, then extends south through the EastLake
development, and eventually to the otay River Valley. This corridor
is a major link in the "Chula vista Greenbelt" and will contain
trails that provide essential links in the 26-mile greenbelt
system.
Subarea #1: The western subarea consists of five distinct
residential neighborhoods, bisected by East "H" Street.
Neighborhoods 1 and 2, located north of East "H" Street and
west of Hunte Parkway, form a typical mid-sized lot (7,560 sq.
ft. ave.) single-family neighborhood (standards comparable to
R-1-7 zoning). These two neighborhoods, totalling 564 lots,
are bisected by an internal open space greenbelt providing a
local trail linkage down to East "H" Street.
Neighborhood 3, located south of East "H" Street and west of
Lane Avenue, is designed as a small-lot (5,230 sq. ft. ave.,
min. 4,500 sq. ft.) single-family neighborhood containing 263
lots and a site for a 1-acre (net) recreation facility
designed to provide for this neighborhood's residents.
Maintenance of this facility will be handled by a homeowners
association. Designs for this facility will be submitted for
review and approval prior to approval of the Tentative
Subdivision Map.
Neighborhoods 4a and 4b, located adjacent to the EastLake
Business Park and west of Lane Avenue, consists of 390
multiple family units (at 17.9 du/ac) and 134 small-lot (4,750
sq. ft. ave., min. 3',800 sq. ft.) single-family lots,
respectively. The total number of units within Neighborhoods

4a and 4b do not exceed the maximum permissible density for
the medium density residential designation approved in the GDP
(11 du/gross ac).
Neighborhood 5, located south of East "H" street and west of
Hunte Parkway, will contain 111 single-family attached units
(at 9.25 du/ac) and 100 mid-sized (6,400 sq. ft. ave., min.
5,000 sq. ft.) single-family lots (standards comparable to R-
1-5 zoning). The total number of units within Neighborhood 5
do not exceed the maximum permissible density for the low-
medium residential designation approved in the GDP (6 du/ac) .
Neighborhood 6, located south of East "H" street and west of
Hunte Parkway, will contain 222 mid-sized (6,280 sq. ft. ave.,
min. 5,000 sq. ft.) single-family lots (standards comparable
to R-1-5 zoning).
contained within Subarea #1 will be a 7-acre (net)
neighborhood park, a 1-acre fire station site and a 10-acre
(net) elementary school site. A grade-separated open space
buffer is proposed between the EastLake Business Park to the
south and residential neighborhoods 4a, 4b and 5. A local
recreational trail will connect the neighborhood
park/elementary school to the Salt Creek corridor and the
community park.
Subarea #2: The core subarea and focus area for this community
is located east of Hunte Parkway, north and south of East H
Street and consists of the Salt Creek drainage basin. This
subarea consists of three neighborhoods.
Neighborhood 7a, located adjacent to the otay Water District
property ownership to the north and east of Salt Creek,
consists of 58 mid-sized (7,360 sq. ft. ave., min. 5,000 sq.
ft.) single-family detached lots (standards comparable to R-1-
5 zoning).
Neighborhood 7b, located north of East "H" street, east of
Salt Creek, consists of 138 single-family lots (8,140 sq. ft.
ave., min. 7, 000 sq. ft. ). This neighborhood consists of
estate-type units on clustered mid-sized single-family lots.
Both neighborhoods 7a and 7b surround a 10-acre (net)
elementary school site, which is located adjacent to the Salt
Creek greenbelt corridor.

Neighborhood 8, located south of East "H" street and adjacent
to the proposed EastLake Woods development, is proposed as a
clustered neighborhood with 242 gate-guarded single-family
lots (8,320 sq. ft. average, minimum 7,000 sq. ft.) and a
private open space greenbelt, which leads to a 22-acre (net)
community park adjacent to the Salt Creek open space corridor.
A 3-acre Community Purpose Facility is proposed adjacent to
the community park.
Subarea #3: The eastern subarea, located north of East "H"
Street and east of a prominent north/south ridgeline
(neighborhood #13), consists of six physically separated
neighborhoods. Separation of these neighborhoods is dictated
by a series of natural canyons and the prominent ridgeline. A
total of 440 single-family estate lots, averaging in excess of
1/2 acre in size and ranging from 1/3 to 2 acres individually,
are located throughout this subarea.
Neighborhoods 12 and 13 are proposed as a 140-lot gate-guarded
community with 43 of these lots located on the north/south
ridgeline.
Offsite access from this subarea has been provided through
Neighborhood 11 to properties located north of the project.
Parks
A 7-acre net (7.3-acre gross) neighborhood park is proposed
adjacent to a 1-acre fire station site, and a 10-acre elementary
school site within Neighborhood 3. A conceptual design has been
prepared by the applicant, and is reflected in the SPA Plan.
A 22-acre net (22-acre gross) community park is proposed adjacent
to the Salt Creek greenbelt corridor and south of East "H" Street.
A conceptual design has also been prepared for this park.
Final designs for each park facility will be required prior to
tentative subdivision map approval.
Trails
Bicycle, recreational, equestrian and hiking trails are proposed
throughout the project (Exhibit D, attached). A buffer area between
the EastLake Business Park and Neighborhoods 4a, 4b, 5 and 6 also
serves as a corridor to connect a 10-foot wide recreational trail
from the 7-acre neighborhood park to the Salt Creek corridor
1~/'f
Page 15, Item
Meeting date

(north/south Chula vista greenbelt) and the community park. This
trail will meander along the buffer and is shown in the SPA as
encroaching within the EastLake property to the south. Staff is
recommending that, since this trail system is intended to serve the
Salt Creek Ranch community that the recreational trail be located
entirely within the Salt Creek Ranch project boundary. Grading
plans will be required to incorporate the trail, and final
alignments and details will be subject to approval with the
tentative subdivision map. Connection of this trail to the 22-acre
community park will involve crossing the Salt Creek drainage course
via some type of bridge structure. The details of this structure
will be required with final trail plans at the Tentative Map stage.
Bisecting Neighborhoods I and 2 is an internal greenbelt trail
system subject to maintenance by an open space maintenance
district. Staff is recommending that the recreational trail and
plant materials be subject to final approval at the Tentative Map
stage.
In an effort to provide continuous trail connections throughout the
community, steps should be taken to connect the recreation trail
from the 7-acre neighborhood park north to East "H" Street (A
portion of this trail occurs offsite and involves coordination with
adjacent property). Salt Creek Ranch is a major link in the Chula
vista greenbelt system and provisions for this system include
equestrian and recreational trails through Salt Creek as well as
along East "H" Street connecting future greenbelt links along the
otay Lakes. The SPA Plan proposes two arched roadway undercrossings
at Salt Creek and at the east end of the project, both providing
the ability for trail systems to cross East "H" Street. The Chula
vista greenbelt links with off-site areas are and will be subject
to further review as part of the City's Greenbelt Master Plan. The
applicant will be required to participate in the greenbelt
implementation within the boundaries of the Salt Creek Ranch
project.

Low Densitv Clusterino in Subarea #2
Neighborhoods 7b and 8 are proposed as clustered low density
residential (0-3 du/ac) neighborhoods acting as a transition from
higher density areas to the west and estate/rural areas to the
east. The General Development Plan calls for clustering per
cri teria of Section 6.3 of the Chula vista General Plan wi thin
Subarea 2. Staff supports the proposed cluster concept based on the
following.
a. Clustering is proposed within Subarea 2 to provide a logical
progression from higher density neighborhoods to the west, to
large-lot low-density estate neighborhoods to the east.
Neighborhoods 7b and 8, designated as low density in the
General Plan, are located on sloping terrain which fall
approximately 100 feet down to the Salt Creek corridor. The
designs for these two neighborhoods respect this landform and
incorporate it within the neighborhood design.
b. Neighborhood 7b is bounded by natural open space on the east,
the Salt Creek corridor on the west and East "H" Street open
space to the south. Open space abuts 1/3 of the lots in this
neighborhood. The 10-ac. (net) elementary school site,
proposed within this neighborhood, will be buffered by a 10-
foot wide landscape strip which will add visual open space to
the interior of the project. Providing the appropriate grades
for the elementary school, necessitated the lotting pattern
proposed.
Neighborhood 8 provides an internal greenbelt with access from
a series of cul-de-sacs. Internal open space is also provided
by enhanced landscaping along the loop street but additional
internal open space was limited due to close proximity to the

The General Plan designates East "H" street as a 6-lane Prime
Arterial into the project from the west, extending to Hunte
Parkway. East "H" street, from Hunte parkway east to the project
boundary, is designated as a Class I Residential Collector. Hunte
Parkway is designated as a 4-lane Major roadway, and Lane Avenue is
designated as a Class I Residential Collector.
The Proposed SPA improvements for these streets are consistent with
the General Plan, except for East "H" Street, east of Hunte
Parkway. Right-of-way (128 ft.) for this segment of East "H" Street
is being reserved by the applicant to accommodate a potential 6-
lane Prime Arterial in anticipation of future development within
the Proctor Valley area, to the west.
The Salt Creek Ranch Traffic Analysis (Willdan, 1991) focused on
external circulation system requirements, the necessary
improvements and their implementation based on project phasing. The
analysis considered existing traffic conditions, traffic expected
to be generated by previously approved projects and the projection
of future traffic.
Through preparation of the traffic analysis, it was found that to
enable existing development and development of all previously
"approved projects" (identified in the Eastern Chula vista
Transportation Phasing Plan and the Growth Management Program)
additional improvements on the circulation system would be
necessary to maintain required threshold standards. These
improvements (1995 Base Condition) are unrelated to the development
of Salt Creek Ranch and will require incorporation into the city's
Public Facilities Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program, to be
implemented.
The Salt Creek Ranch Traffic Analysis determined the available
capacity of the City's circulation system, prior to the necessary
construction of an interim SR-125 facility, determined the impacts
of the Base 1995 condition (existing traffic + "approved projects"
+ additional improvements required of previously approved projects
and included in a revised City DIF Program), and found that the
remaining capacity of the circulation system (with additional
specific mitigation improvements contained within EIR-91-03), could
permit a total of 1,137 dwelling units. Although Salt Creek Ranch
SPA, Phase I is proposed to consist of 1,350 dwelling units, the
maximum number of units that Salt Creek Ranch could construct in
Phase I, based on circulation capacity, would be 1,137 units.

The City of Chula vista has contracted independently for a
financing study (being prepared by H.N.T.B., a consulting firm) for
the construction of an interim SR-125 facility. Since there are
competing projects within the City's eastern territories for the
remaining available circulation system capacity, prior to the
needed construction of SR-125, staff is recommending that no
tentative subdivision map be approved until; 1) the completion of
the H.N.T.B. SR-125 financing study and determination as to the
consistency of the Salt Creek Ranch development with the
conclusions of the study, and unless the tentative map is
conditioned upon 2) the revision of the Eastern Chula vista
Transportation Phasing Plan (ECVTPP) and Public Facilities
Development Impact Fee (DIF) Program based on those conclusions."
Development within Salt Creek Ranch will be phased concurrently
with the provision of adequate road capacity and access
improvements. The proposed development phases and associated
circulation system improvements are described in the Public
Facilities Financing Plan.
Access to Offsite Areas
Access to offsite properties to the north and east of subarea #3 of
Salt Creek Ranch has been provided in the SPA design (Exhibit E,
attached), consistent with the approved General Development Plan.
The primary north/south Class III roadway, which provides access
from East H Street, through neighborhoods 9, lOa and 11 to offsite
properties will have capacity to provide for approximately 490
additional single family homes with this as their sole point of
access, in addition to units within Salt Creek Ranch. If a
secondary point of access is determined from Proctor Valley
(located east) to the northern and eastern properties then
additional unit yield could then be accommodated.
Current land use designations for unincorporated offsite areas
north of Salt Creek Ranch are dictated by the County of San Diego
General Plan. The county General Plan will permit a maximum of 100
units on the approximately 400 ac. of topographically and
biologically constrained property located to the north of Salt
Creek Ranch (actual permitted density may be somewhat less due to
property constraints).

The sole undeveloped property, currently within the city of Chula
vista's GP (designated Low Density Residential (0-3 dujac), is the
Watson parcel (approximately 160-ac.) which is located at the
northeast corner of the Salt Creek Ranch project.
The Planning Department has received written correspondence from
the attorney representing ownership of adjacent parcels regarding
their intent to oppose certification of the final EIR, based on
issues relating to offsite access (see Exhibit G). The Planning
Department has responded to this correspondence, clarifying
processing issues related to this matter (see Exhibit H).
Gradinq
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA proposed grading is in general conformance
with the General Development Plan. The conceptual grading presented
in the SPA is intended to present a landform grading technique
which will emphasize neighborhoods with curves and varying slope
ratios designed to reflect the appearance of the surrounding
terrain. The grading proposal will preserve the Salt Creek drainage
corridor and the natural drainage areas within the eastern subarea
3.
The open space adjacent to East H Street will be contour-graded
with variable slope ratios. An effort has been made to limit slopes
between building pads to 25-30 ft. so as not to be visible above a
two story dwelling.
Grading within subarea 3 will consist of the prov1s10n of a minimum
of 10,000 sq. ft. pad areas on large (lj2-acre average) lots. The
remaining lot areas will be graded with gradual slopes to
transition into natural canyon areas. A master homeowners
association will be set up to control grading and structure
encroachments within non-pad areas.
The slope areas located along the south edge of neighborhood 9 are
highly exposed to East H Street and staff has some concern
regarding the visual effects of potential encroachment onto the
slope as well as the maintenance of the slope area. Staff
recommends that the lot lines for the lots within neighborhood 9
which face East H Street be held to the top of slope and that the
slope area be included in the adjacent open space maintenance area
to provide better maintenance control adjacent to a designated
"scenic" highway. This issue should resolved prior to approval of
the tentative subdivision map.

Neighborhood 13 consists of a ridgeline and proposed grading
guidelines for this area are contained within the SPA and Design
Guidelines. Techniques to be utilized include, contour grading,
daylight grading, rounded slope transitions to natural areas,
tilted rear grading lines to eliminate stepped-pad edges.
Thresholds Analvsis
Standards adopted by City policy require that the Salt Creek Ranch
project be analyzed to determine whether the approval of this
project will have an adverse impact on the threshold formulated by
the City. Review of the project EIR, the PFFP, and other supporting
SPA documents provides evidence that the project is consistent with
the threshold standards of the city. An analysis of Thresholds is
contained in the environmental document for Salt Creek Ranch, EIR-
91-03, and in the PFFP, by development phase.
Low and Moderate Income Housinq
The recently updated Housing Element requires that subdivisions of
over 50 dwelling units provide 10% of the total project unit count
as affordable units for low and moderate income households, with
one-half of those units being afordable to low income households.
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan proposes to comply with the city of
Chula vista affordable housing policy as required at the time of
Tentative Map approval.
Communitv Purpose Facilities
The proposed project identifies a total of 7-acres to be reserved
for Community Purpose Facilities (CPF), a 3-acre site south of the
community park a 4 acre site north of East H Street within Subarea
#3. The Municipal Code requires that 1.39-acres of land per 1,000
population within the project be designated for CPF uses. The
project proposes a total of 2,662 dwelling units which would result
in an estimated project population of 8,240. This would require a
total required acreage of 11.45-acres of CPF land, or an additional
project requirement of 4.45-acres.
The developer is proposing that a reciprocal agreement be
negotiated with the City for use of parking within the community
park for the adjacent 3 acre CPF site, thereby receiving credit for
a portion of the required additional acreage requirement. In
addition, should a reciprocal agreement not be reached the
developer is proposing to locate an alternate site or sites at the
final subdivision map stage and preclude development of the land
1>"'< tJ

for a period not to exceed 5 years at which time if a use is not
secured the land would revert back to residential.
staff recommends that the developer identify permanent locations
for the additional 4.45-acres of CPF land, subject to approval of
the Director of Planning and prior to approval of the tentative
subdivision map, and that, in accordance with the Chula vista
Municipal Code, there be no reversion of acreage clause for CPF
sites in the approved SPA Plan.
Public Facilities Financinq Plan
The objective of the Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) is to
identify all public facilities, such as transportation, fire and
emergency medical service, water, flood control, sewage disposal,
schools and parks required to support the planned development of
Salt Creek Ranch. The PFFP for Salt Creek Ranch is written to guide
development of the project and is the first such analysis required
by the city's new Growth Management Ordinance. It proposes
recommended financing programs to ensure the construction of
necessary improvements, as well as to identify regional facilities
needed to serve this project and costs to construct those regional
facilities.
The improvements stated in the PFFP shall be requirements of
subsequent discretionary permits. In most cases, they will become
conditions of approval of Tentative and Final Subdivision Maps. In
other cases, building and occupancy permits will be the means of
implementation. Improvements called for in any development phases
are intended to be completed and usable prior to occupancy of any
dwelling unit within that particular phase.
The plan discusses improvements through available financing
techniques. Some facilities will be financed by the developer and
others can be better financed through specific techniques available
in state law. For example, the financing of schools can be assured
by the use of Mello-Roos community Facilities District financing.
The plan also ties the project into the city's Development Impact
Fee (DIF) program which primarily provides for transportation
improvements necessitated by development east of I-805. Public
Facilities Development Impact Fees are needed for other city
services including public safety, libraries, corporation yard, fire
training facility, civic center and geographic information system.
If'.) )
Page 22, rtem

3/24/92
The financing plan is dependent on city-wide documents beyond the
General Development Plan, Environmental Impact Report and SPA Plan.
It is also based on the Eastern Chula vista Transportation Phasing
Plan, the Development Impact Fee and the Public Facilities
Development Impact Fee of the City of Chula vista. If upon the
completion of a financing study for SR125 (under preparation by
H.N.T.B., a consulting firm) and determination as to the
consistency of the Salt Creek Ranch development with the
conclusions of the study, the proj ect I s phasing results in a
significant or material modification of proposed phasing of public
facilities, then an addendum to the PFFP should be prepared which
reflects these changes. Revisions may also be required of the
ECVTPP and the Public Facilities DIF Program.
Also included in the PFFP is a statement of current Thresholds and
an analysis of how each Threshold will be complied with, by phase.
The Executive Summary of the Salt Creek Ranch PFFP also recommends
necessary mitigation.
with respect to public facilities such as parks and recreation,
schools, libraries, water, sewer, storm drainage, police and fire
facilities, the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan makes the following
provisions:
a. Transportation: The transportation projects to be financed by
Salt Creek Ranch are of two basic types:
1) Those facilities that provide for major circulation
within Salt Creek Ranch which will primarily benefit the
Salt Creek Ranch development; and
2)
Ranch
area
Those facilities that are off-site of Salt Creek
that will be of benefit to other eastern
developments including Salt Creek Ranch.
The phasing of on-site improvements are made part of the PFFP
and will be constructed prior to need. Off-site and regional
improvements are also included in the plan by reference. Salt
Creek Ranch will be subject to the revised Transportation
Phasing Plan and will participate in improvements required by
that plan as needed.
b. Parks and Recreation: Salt Creek Ranch includes a 7-acre
(net) Neighborhood Park and a 22-acre (net) Community Park,
incorporating active recreation and passive park uses. Both
the Neighborhood and Community Park designs will be subject to
)5--~
Paqe 23, Item
Meetinq date

approval prior to approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map.
The developer will be required to construct the parks under
direction of the Director of Parks and Recreation. The
developer will also make separate contributions or additional
improvements toward meeting the required park improvements per
the city's Park Land Dedication Ordinance. Staff recommends
that a modification to park phasing, that assumes that
adequate project park acreage will be developed in accordance
with project population and unit phasing. At no time will the
project be deficit in park acreage and details of park phasing
will be subject to approval of the Director of Parks and
Recreation.
c. Schools: The Salt Creek Ranch project will be required to
reach agreement on a financing plan for school facilities
prior to approval of the Tentative Subdivision Map. A Mello-
Roos community Facilities District to finance elementary,
junior and high school facilities has been suggested as a
mechanism subject to approval of the individual school
districts. Two lO-acre (net) elementary schools are proposed
within Salt Creek Ranch and financing for off-site junior and
senior high facilities will be required for the 507 junior and
267 senior high students anticipated from this project.
d. Water Facilities: The Otay Water District will provide water
service to Salt Creek Ranch, which is located partially within
the 980 zone system and partially within the 1296 zone system.
To provide water within the 1296 zone, an off-site water
storage facility will be required. If Salt Creek Ranch is the
first to need water service in the 1296 zone, it will have to
build the storage reservoir.
Water services allocated to Salt Creek Ranch will be
determined for a future quarter as a part of an agreement with
the Otay Water District for construction of required terminal
reservoir storage and other major water facilities. The
facilities identified in the PFFP shall be required of the
developer either as constructed facilities or through the
payment offers as indicated.
A reclaimed water system will be constructed within Salt Creek
Ranch in accordance with the Master Plan now being developed
by the otay Water District (See Sewer section of PFFP).
e. Sewer Facilities: The Salt Creek Ranch project currently lies
within four drainage basins. These include Proctor Valley
1.5".2;1
Paqe 24, Item
Meetinq date
If
3/24/92
Basin, Telegraph Canyon Basin, Salt Creek Basin and Otay Lake
Basin. New trunk sewer extensions will be needed to convey
sewage to the spring Valley sanitation District and to the
Telegraph Canyon Interceptor. Flows from the Salt Creek Basin
and otay Lake Basin will require pumping into the Telegraph
Canyon Interceptor. A permanent pump station will be needed to
pump flows from 406 units in Subarea #3 of the SPA Plan and
approximately 100 future off-site units into the Salt Creek
Basin. Until the Salt Creek Interceptor is constructed, these
flows along with the Salt Creek Basin flow will be pumped to
the Telegraph Canyon Interceptor. Construction of the Salt
Creek Interceptor is dependent on development within EastLake
and Otay Ranch. The proposed 12 mgd water reclamation plant
within the otay River Valley will have capacity to treat Salt
Creek Ranch flows.
On-site collection sewers and pump facilities will be built
and funded by the developer as a subdivision exaction. The
developer shall be responsible for payment of fees for the
project's share of off-site facilities, including the Salt
Creek Interceptor.
f. Drainage System: Salt Creek Ranch will be served by a series
of on-site storm water facilities that will serve to collect
and convey the storm water for this project into the City's
storm water system and within the Salt Creek Basin providing
for continued natural drainage flows.
An urban runoff protection system will be required subject to
approval of various agencies, including the city of San Diego,
for drainage within the otay Lake Basin. The Upper Otay
Reservoir, recipient of drainage from that basin, is a source
of drinking water to the residents of the City of San Diego
and, therefore, water quality must be protected. Salt Creek
Ranch proposes an interim water quality protection and
monitoring program designed to protect this source of drinking
water. It is expected that a future permanent reservoir
protection system will be installed for both Upper and Lower
otay Reservoirs.
The developer will be responsible for the design and
construction of this Urban Runoff Protection System and all
on-site drainage facilities.
g. Library: The Salt Creek Ranch project does not propose any
on-site library facilities, although the developer will be
JS:.J'I
Page 25, Item
Meeting date 3/24/92
/..5
responsible for the payment of fees, based on estimated
project population, into the City's Public Facilities DIF
program. Library facilities are planned for implementation
within the adjacent EastLake Development, immediately to the
south.
h. Fire and Emergency Medical Services: Salt Creek Ranch will be
providing a I-acre (net) fire station site within the project.
construction of a fire station of approximately 4,000 sq. ft.
and purchase of a reserve fire pumper will be required along
with installing necessary streets and water facilities to
service the station. If this project proceeds ahead of the
adjacent Rancho San Miguel project then a brush rig will be
required and the developer will be required to front the
necessary funds and then will be credited against the payment
of public facilities fees.
i. Other Facilities: While there are no other public facilities
proposed for inclusion within the Salt Creek Ranch project
area, the developer will be responsible for the payment of
fees into the Public Facilities DIF program which will fund
the city's corporation yard, police facility improvements,
civic center expansion and an automated City geographic
information system.
Salt Creek Ranch may be required to front funds for the above
facilities to the extent that DIF monies are not available for
capital expenditures. These monies will be credited against
the payment of public facilities fees for costs up to the
amount of fees due.
Air Oualitv ImDrovement Plan
The city's Growth Management Ordinance requires that projects of 50
units or greater provide an Air Quality Improvement Plan.
As discussed in the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Air Quality Improvement
Plan (Section 7.8 of the SPA), the most significant air quality
improvement measures are those policies and regulations established
at the broadest geographic level (i.e., State or Federal). However,
measures implemented on a city or project level can have a positive
impact. The Air Quality Improvement Plan prepared for Salt Creek
Ranch includes mitigation measures suggested by the developer and
those recommended by the consultant reviewing the plan,
Stevens/Garland & Associates. These include pedestrian and bicycle
IY>>

Meeting date 3/24/92
If'
paths, jObs/housing balance, access to regional travel systems,
access to transit and educational programs to increase awareness.
Local and regional air quality regulations including the Air
Pollution Control District program are being drafted that will
supersede existing standards. Salt Creek Ranch is being reviewed in
advance of these programs. The Air Quality Improvement Plan
recommends several improvement measures with the project to help
limit individual car trips, including encouraging car pooling and
bus ridership. Staff recommends the provision of pedestrian walks
from specific open-ended cul-de-sacs along East H Street, west of
Hunte Parkway, to improve neighborhood access to transit routes. In
addition, Salt Creek Ranch will be subject to on-going monitoring
programs inherent in the City's Transportation Phasing Plan and
Growth Management Program.
The need for park-and-ride facilities, as well as neighborhood
commercial facilities to serve this project and adjacent projects
has been discussed during review of the project to help reduce the
number of project-generated vehicle trips. Staff is recommending
that a neighborhood commercial site be developed within the
adjacent Rancho San Miguel project, along East H Street, and that
the developer commit to funding its proportionate share of a future
park-and-ride facility. The location of a park-and-ride facility in
the area of East H Street/SR-125 has not been identified, although,
the developer is recommending that the community park site could be
used as an interim park-and-ride facility until a permanent site
closer to SR-125 is developed. This approach would require approval
of the Director of Parks and Recreation.
Water Conservation Plan
The Salt Creek Ranch Water Conservation Master Plan (prepared by
Wilson Engineering, 1991) is briefly summarized in the SPA document
(Section 7.2.13) and is enclosed with this report. This master plan
is patterned after the Rancho Del Rey Water Conservation Plan, with
the exception of discussion of a water offset program which was
required of the recently approved Rancho Del Rey project.
The Salt Creek Ranch Water Conservation Plan states that the
projected average water demand for all areas of Salt Creek Ranch is
1,781,618. with the implementation of on-site measures recommended
in the plan (efficient fixtures and devices in the units, efficient
landscaping and irrigation, public awareness and education
programs) a savings of approximately 294,600 gallons per day (ave.
110 mgd per residence) can be realized.
JY~(,
Page 27, Item
Meeting date
15
3/24/92
Consistent with the city I s approach on prior proj ects staff is
recommending that the developer commit to participate in any off-
site mitigation program adopted by the City designed to offset all
or a portion of their new water demand (See Attachment No.2). Said
program may require one or more of the following:
. Compliance with a regional water use offset program, to
be administered by the San Diego County Water Authority.
. Compliance with a locally administered water use offset
program (such program may be administered by the City,
water district, or a combination of both);
. Implementation of specific water use offset measures for
this project, if neither a regional or locally-
administered water use offset program is in place prior
to issuance of building permits for any portion of this
project.
In the event that a city-approved water offset policy is not in
effect at the time building permits are issued, the requirements of
this plan should be met through implementation of specific water
offset measures for this project, with the level of offsets and
specific measures to be approved by the City.
Imolementation
Beyond the standard implementation methods utilized for this
project, such as Tentative Subdivision Map and site Plan approvals,
there are several other implementation tools which are applicable
to this project.
a. PC District Requlations
Planned Community (PC) District Regulations specifically
tailored to fit the proposed development provide standards and
regulations to guide the development of Salt Creek Ranch SPA.
These regulations, which provide specific implementation
standards, should be applied in conjunction with the design
guidelines for both the residential and landscape elements of
the project. The standards contained in this document have
been patterned after other recently approved masterplanned
communities within the City of Chula vista for consistency.

b. Desiqn Guidelines
As stated above, the design guidelines are an integral part of
the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan. They are presented in a
preliminary form to permit input from the Planning Commission
prior to review of the Tentative Map.
The proposed guidelines are intended to establish minimum
standards for the design and architectural character of the
Salt Creek Ranch SPA. They are provided to ensure that the
quality and fundamental concepts established at the master
planning stage are maintained in the final phase of detailed
planning and design.
The design guidelines are structured into four basic
sections: a) Design Review, b) community Design Guidelines, c)
Architectural Design Guidelines, and d) Landscape Architectural
Design Guidelines. These sections address unique features of
the Salt Creek Ranch project, including ridgeline development
and grading guidelines, project edge treatments, fuel
modification (fire retardant brush management) standards in
natural open space areas, and scenic corridor treatment.
c. Monitorinq Proqram
Salt Creek Ranch will be required to submit updated
development summaries, forecasts and development data, such as
actual traffic counts and building permit information to the
city for evaluation and comparison to the Financing Plan as
adopted.
The Public Facilities Financing Plan
updated annually, as the actual amount,
the new development takes place.
The monitoring plan shall also review the ongoing fiscal
impact on the city I s Operation Budget. The Fiscal Impact
Analysis prepared as part of the PFFP, shows a positive
cumulative impact in the City over the first 15 years of the
Salt Creek Ranch project. Should the fiscal impact in the City
change in the future, the annual monitoring program will
provide the analysis for the reasons, and the alternative
courses of action which are to be taken.

l. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN CONFORMITY
WITH THE SALT CREEK RANCH GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE
CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Salt Creek Ranch Sectional Planning Area Plan reflects the
land uses, circulation system, open space and recreational
uses, and public facility uses consistent with the Salt Creek
Ranch General Development Plan and Chula vista General Plan.
2 . THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL PROMOTE THE
ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA.
The SPA Plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan contain
provisions and requirements to ensure the orderly, phased
development of the project. The Public Facilities Financing
Plan specifies the public facilities required by Salt Creek
Ranch, and also the regional facilities needed to serve it.
3. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL NOT ADVERSELY
AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION
OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within Salt Creek Ranch are designed with a
grade-separated open space buffer adjacent EastLake Business
Park, a neighborhood park will be located adjacent to the
westerly project boundary to serve both project and adjacent
residents, and the project will provide a wide range of
housing types for all economic levels. A comprehensive street
network serves the project and provides for access to offsite
adjacent properties. The proposed plan closely follows all
existing environmental protection guidelines and will avoid
unacceptable off-site impacts through the provision of
mitigation measures specified in the Salt Creek Ranch
Environmental Impact Report.

5. Consistency with the General Plan.
The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan for the following reasons:
1. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE SALT CREEK RANCH GENERAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The Salt Creek Ranch Sectional Planning Area Plan reflects the land uses,
circulation system, open space and recreational uses, and public facility uses
consistent with the Salt Creek Ranch General Development Plan and Chula Vista
General Plan.
2. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL PROMOTE
THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALlZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED
SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA.
The SPA Plan and Public Facilities Financing Plan contain provisions and
requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project. The Public
9
I'!b - Cj
Facilities Financing Plan specifies the public facilities required by Salt Creek
Ranch, and also the regional facilities needed to serve it.
3. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WILL NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL
ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within Salt Creek Ranch are designed with a grade-separated open
space buffer adjacent EastLake Business Park, a neighborhood park will be
located adjacent to the westerly project boundary to serve both project and
adjacent residents, and the project will provide a wide range of housing types for
all economic levels. A comprehensive street network serves the project and
provides for access to offsite adjacent properties. The proposed plan closely
follows all existing environmental protection guidelines and will avoid
unacceptable off-site impacts through the provision of mitigation measures
specified in the Salt Creek Ranch Environmental Impact Report.
5. CEQA Findings, Mitigation Monitoring Program, and Statement of Overriding
Considerations.
a. Adoption of Findings.
The City Council does hereby approve, accept as its own, incorporation as if set
forth full herein, and make each and every one of the CEQA Findings attached
hereto as Exhibit C.
b. Certain Mitigation Measures Feasible and Adopted.
As more fully identified and set forth in the master EIR for this project (EIR-89-
03) and the supplemental environmental document (EIR-9l-03) and in the CEQA
Findings for this project, which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Council
hereby fmds pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA
Guidelines Section 15091 that the mitigation measures described in the above
referenced documents are feasible and will become binding upon the entity such
as the project proponent, the city, or the school district which has to implement
these mitigation measures.
c. Infeasibility of Alternatives.
As is also noted in the above referenced environmental documents in paragraph
b, alternatives to the project which were identified as potentially feasible were
found not to be feasible.
d. Adoption of Mitigation Monitoring Program.
10
I~h- )0
As required by the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City Council
hereby adopts Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("Program") set
forth in Exhibit D to this resolution incorporated herein by reference as set forth
in full. The Council hereby finds that the Program is designed to ensure that
during project implementation the permittee/project applicant and any other
responsible parties implement the project components and comply with the
feasible mitigation measures identified in the Findings and the Program.
e. Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Even after the adoption of all feasible mitigation measures and the alternatives,
certain significant or potentially significant environmental effects caused by the
project or cumulatively will remain. Therefore, the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista hereby issues pursuant to CEQA Guideline Section 15093 and as set
forth in Exhibit E attached hereto a Statement of Overriding Considerations
identifying the specific economic, social, and other considerations that render the
unavoidable significant adverse environmental effects acceptable.
6. Notice of Determination.
The Environmental Review Coordinator of the City of Chula Vista is directed after City
Council approval of this project to ensure that a Notice of Determination, together with
a copy of this resolution, its exhibits, and all resolutions passed by the City Council in
connection with this project, is filed with the County Clerk of the County of San Diego.

Re: FINAL EIR-91-03. SALT CREEK RANCH SPA
Dear Mr. Bazzel:
On February 26, 1992 I appeared at the Chula Vista City
Planning Commission hearing and submitted a slip to speak in
opposition to the above-referenced project on behalf of my
clients, Mr. and Mrs. Wadie Deddeh, owners of 186 acres
immediately north of Salt Creek Ranch (formerly The Pyramids'
property) .
At the hearing I learned that public testimony would not be
taken, and the Planning Commission proceeded to certify the EIR.
It was our intention to appeal this certification to the
City Council. This letter will confirm that you have advised my
legal assistant, Laura House, that there is no need for an appeal
of this matter in that the Planning Commission action was not
final, and EIR-91-03 will go before the City Council for further
proceedings later this month. That being the case, we will make
our objections known to the City Council at that time.

Subject:
FINAL ElR-91-03. SALT CREEK RANCH SPA
Dear Mr. McDade:
In response to your letter, dated March 9, 1992, and received by the Planning Department
on March 11, 1992, I would like to clarify a few issues that were raised therein.
At the Planning Commission meeting of February 26, 1992, the Salt Creek Ranch Final
Supplemental EIR-91-03 was brought before the Commission for their consideration on
whether to Certify the document as Final. In accordance with the City of Chula Vista's
Environmental Review Procedures this action is not subject to the public hearing process.
Previous to that hearing, on January 22, 1992, the Planning Commission held a public
hearing on the Draft Supplemental ElR-91-03 to take public testimony regarding the ElR.
The Planning Commission's decision at the meeting of February 26, 1992, was to Certify
Supplemental EIR-91-03 as Final. The next item on the agenda that night involved a public
hearing on the Salt Creek Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan (PCM-91-4) and
related documents. At that time, and in accordance with the City of Chula Vista's Municipal
Code, the Commission took public testimony on the proposed Salt Creek Ranch project.
The public hearing on the project was continued to the Commission's regular meeting of
March 11, 1992, at which time the public hearing was closed and the Commission, in this

ITEM 1.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM-9l..()4: CONSIDERATION OF SALT CREEK
RANCH SPA PLAN, PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN AND P-C
REGULATIONS - The Baldwin Company (continued from 2-26-92)
Commissioner Tuchscher stated that he would leave the dais at this time, due to a potential
perceived conflict of interest of which a ruling is being pursued with the City Attorney and the
State.
Commissioner Tugenberg stated that he had listened to the entire tape of the previous
proceedings.
Senior Planner Bazzel noted that the project and associated items had come before the
Commission on February 26, 1992, at which time the Planning Commission had certified
Supplemental Em 91-3 and opened the public hearing on Salt Creek Ranch SPA Public Facilities
Financing Plan, Air Quality Improvement Plan, and Water Conservation Plan. The public
hearing was continue primarily for consideration of the P-C District Regulations and Design
Guidelines, CEQA Findings, Mitigation Monitoring Program, and Statement of Overriding
Considerations for Salt Creek Ranch. He stated that the staff report contained a brief summary
of the issues raised at the last hearing, and written correspondence received from Sweetwater
Union High School District, Chula Vista Elementary School District, and EastLake Development
Company. Mr. Bazzel then introduced Mr. Van Stevens, consultant to the Baldwin Company.
(The public hearing was still open from the meeting of 2-26-92.)
Van Stevens, consultant to the Baldwin Company, using overhead projection, showed how the
buffer areas related to the residential and industrial areas of the project, and discussed the types
of buffers to be used including landscaping, grading, and fencing. He also showed the trail
system to be connected east and west through Salt Creek and beyond, acting as a pedestrian
connection for the various amenities for Salt Creek and surrounding areas.
Claudia Troisi, representing The Baldwin Company, stated they had tried to incorporate a rural
area on the east side in Sub-Area 3, and were adding a new 22-acre park in Sub-Area 2 in the
first phase. There would be affordable housing in Neighborhood 4; a scenic corridor on "H"
Street with varying setbacks and contour grading; and they had elected to have a master planned
community in order to achieve a balance in the overall community. Ms. Troisi stated that they
had planned the project with as little grading as possible to maintain the natural topography.
Commissioner Tugenberg asked if a resident could add more than two trees if it was desired.
Ms. Troisi stated that trees in the right-of-way would be limited; however, Baldwin was open
as to the number of trees the residents put on their property.
Commissioner Tugenberg asked what the applicant was doing to give the property a ranch
theme. Ms. Troisi answered that sidewalks would be only on one side and something other than
concrete; fencing would be something acceptable to the City in terms of appearance and Public
-

March 11, 1992
Works in terms of maintenance; rolled curb on cuI de sacs; main roads would have curb,
gutters, and sidewalks.
Commissioner Martin asked if there would be a way to walk from the residences to the business
park. Mr. Stevens answered that a number of the cuI de sacs were opened up to allow access
to the trail system. The trail system would connect to the business park.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 2-17, questioned the 11.3 acres dedicated to the
community purpose facility and stated that 11.3 acres would be required if 2662 units were to
be built, and asked about the 4.3 acres of parking. Would there be joint parking; how large was
the acreage for parking in the park.
Ms. Troisi suggested that there may be an opportunity for joint use between the community
purpose facility and the park. If not, Baldwin would allow the amount needed.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 3-53, asked if the City would be willing to give
irrevocable access.
Ms. Troisi stated that would be discussed in the future, and they had examples. Regarding the
park, the suggested parking spaces was 100 parking places.
Commissioner Decker asked if recreational vehicles would be allowed in the multi-family
districts.
Ms. Troisi answered that it would be on a case-by-case basis according to the amount of area
on the site.
Commissioner Decker asked about limiting parking to 72 hours, and if it should be limited also
in multi-family districts. Ms. Troisi stated the interior streets would be regulated by the
homeowners association.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 2-21, commented on the possibility of ham radio
antennas. Then referring to page 2-24, Mr. Decker questioned if 24. was the size of the tree.
Ms. Troisi answered that the box would be 24. .
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 2-43 regarding signs, asked if it would be mandatory
that homeowners remove graffiti because it was not a sign. Who would be responsible for
removal of graffiti. Ms. Troisi answered that the homeowner would be required to remove it,
because it would be private property.
Commissioner Tugenberg commented that there were condo projects in Chula Vista which had
private streets and the developer had provided RV areas in the project. He suggested that staff
look into requiring the developer to have storage space for RVs.

March 11, 1992
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Tugenberg stated he was not in opposition to the project but had some
reservations.
MS (Tugenberg!Decker) to direct staff to negotiate with the applicant to reduce the total
number of units in neighborhoods lOa, lOb, 11, 12, and 13 by approximately 5% but
double the size of approximately 15 lots; to" direct staff to negotiate with the applicant to
bring on line some of the large lot product in the above mentioned neighborhoods at the
same time phase 1 produce is brought on line so as to make large lot product available
early on in the marketing of Salt Creek.
Commissioner Casillas asked for Commissioner Tugenberg's rationale for a reduction and
whether or not it addressed the economic impact regarding phasing.
Commissioner Tugenberg noted it was just an opportunity for staff to look at the possibility of
allowing for more large lots, and it would not have an impact on whether or not the project was
completed.
VOTE: 6-0 in favor (Commissioner Tuchscher had left the dias - conflict of interest).
MSUC (Fuller/Decker) 6-0 (Commissioner Tuchscher - conflict of interest) that based upon
the imdings attached to the staff report of 2/26/92, recommend that the City Council
approve the Salt Creek Ranch Section Planning Area (SPA) Plan, Public Facilities
Fmancing Plan, and PC Regulations subject to the conditions of approval listed in the staff
report of 2/26/92 as well as conditions requested by the Sweetwater Union High School
District, the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the EastLake Development
Company and per modifications listed in Section C-3 of this report.
ITEM 2.
CONSIDERATION OF CANDIDATE CEQA FINDINGS, MITIGATION
MONITORING PROGRAM, AND STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING
CONSIDERATIONS FOR SALT CREEK RANCH SPA, EIR-9l-Q3
Environmental Review Coordinator Reid gave the background of the project and turned the
presentation over to Julie McCall, the preparer of the EIR, to discuss mitigation measures.
Commissioner Carson, referring to page 10, asked if the land use impacted the SDG&E power
easement. Staff seemed to have overlooked discussion of SDG&E. Mr. Reid concurred there
appeared to be an error in the findings, and it would be corrected.
Commissioner Carson questioned why affordable housing and estate lots were in the fmdings.
Mr. Reid said there would be no problem with that being removed from the findings.

March 11, 1992
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 23, scenario 2 under Traffic, felt the first bullet of
scenario 2 was redundant. On page 25, Water Impact, Section 3.5, it was missing the
developer's statement of participating in water. That should be in the findings. Mr. Reid
concurred.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 6 of the Mitigation Monitoring Program, asked what
Ms. McCall would consider a conservative distance from the SDG&E easement. Ms. McCall
answered that a conservative distance would be as far away from SDG&E as possible. No
standards had been set so there was no way of determining a certain distance. She said that the
phrase "no standards are available" could be removed from the text at the top of page 7.
Referring to page 18, Commissioner Decker said that the type of trees to discourage entrance
to the open space areas could be cactus.
MSUC (CasillaslDecker) 6-0 (Commissioner Tuchscher - conflict of interest) to adopt the
CEQA Findings with modifications.
MSUC (CasillaslDecker) 6-0 (Commissioner Tuchscher - conflict of interest) to adopt the
Mitigation Monitoring Program.
MSUC (CasillaslDecker) 6-0 (Commissioner Tuchscher - conflict of interest) to adopt the

EXCERPT FROM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF 2/26/92
ITEM 2: CONSIDERATION OF FINAL EIR-91-03, SALT CREEK RANCH SPA
Environmental Review Coordinator Reid stated no comments had been received from the State
Clearinghouse; however, there were 10 other letters received which were included in the EIR
along with responses. He recommended that the Commission not consider CEQA Findings or
the Mitigation Monitoring Program. He noted Julie McCall of Ogden, the preparer of the EIR,
was there to answer any questions. Staff recommended certification of the Final EIR.
Commissioner Decker was concerned about allocating traffic capacity on "HO Street and how
it could be resolved in an EIR. Mr.. Reid noted it was part of the Eastern Territories
Transportation Phasing Plan, and an analysis showed there was some capacity in that system for
this project, not the entire project. Those projects which had approved tentative maps would
be first in line.
Commissioner Tuchscher was unclear as to how traffic was allocated from one project to
another. He felt other projects which had also paid for that infrastructure should receive some
fair share of that excess capacity. Senior Planner Bazzel answered that the allocation of that
additional capacity would not be decided until the findings of the HNTV Financing Study for
SR-125 were in.
MSUC (CarsonlDecker) 6-0 (Commiosioner Tugenberg absent) to certify that the Ymal EIR.
ITEM 3:
PUBLIC HEARING: PCM-92-04: CONSIDERATION OF SALT CREEK
RANCH SPA PLAN, PUBLIC FACILmES FINANCING PLAN AND P-C
REGULATIONS - The Baldwin Company
Senior Planner Bazzel noted that as part of the SPA Plan the Planning Commission was being
asked to consider the Air Quality Improvement Plan and Water Conservation Plan. The Planned
Community Regulations and Design Guidelines should be continued to the next meeting of the
Planning Commission. He then gave the background and a detailed description of the project
and addressed some of the issues involved and mitigation proposed. Regarding Community
Purpose Facility sites, Mr. Bazzel noted there were two proposed with a total acreage of
approximately 11.4 acres, which would leave a deficiency of approximately 4.4 acres. The
developer had proposed a reciprocal agreement with the Parks Department and the City for the
22-acre community park to include a reciprocal parking arrangement to offset some of the
acreage requirement. Conditions of approval proposed by staff were that the final acreage
requirement for the Community Purpose Facility site be resolved and wlIH7ed prior to the
tentative subdivision map.
Mr. Bazzel noted that staff had been working with a consultant regarding the Air Quality
Improvement Plan and Water Quality Plan, and recommendations were included in the staff
report. Also included was the Public Facilities Financing Plan.
.
Senior Planner Bazzel stated a letter had been received from the Sweetwater Union High School
District that day regarding the Public Facilities Financing Plan and their request to modify some
of the language.
Commissioner Decker, referring to Condition 27, page 24 of report, asked why the Director of
Parks & Recreation should approve final details of habitat enhancement, protective measures for
sensitive species, brush modification and temporary irrigation. He felt it would be a biologist's
job rather than the Director of Parks & Recreation.
Mr. Bazzel answered that the Director of Parks & Recreation was involved in the coordination
of the open space maintenance districts; within those open space maintenance districts would be
a large number of sensitive plant species that they need to deal with. Proper coordination with
that Department was necessary with the Habitat Conservation Plan.
Commissioner Decker - Condition 49 - Developer shall commit to funding fair share of park &
ride facility -- what's fair share; and was the developer willing to go along with undefined fair
share?
Mr. Bazzel deferred that question to the developer.
Commissioner Tuchscher asked why there was no type of product at mid-point -- with 1/4 acre
lots, or 10,000 sq. ft. lots.
Senior Planner Bazzel stated that at the General Development Plan stage, there was a strong
emphasis by Council and by the Commission that larger lot sizes be provided; therefore, staff
felt that in order to get the I and 2-acre lot sizes in the eastern area, that they allow some
provision for a percentage to go below the 1/2 acre which is normally the residential estate-type
lotting. A minimum of 15,000 sq. ft. size was required. There was no provision for the area
between 8,000 and 15,000.
Assistant Planning Director Lee explained that the percentage area of estate housing represented
over 1/3 of the site. In another project, there may be a larger lot commitment, but not to that
extent.
Commissioner Tuchscher commented that non-clustered 1/4-acre lots were needed in eastern
area.
Commissioner Decker, regarding Public Facilities Financing Plan - page 3.33, asked about fees
for police substations, and if there would be a substation in that area. He felt there was a great
need for one. Assistant Planning Director Lee noted it would be revisited.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page 5.1-17, commented that it would be nice to find out
what it would really cost the city to operate facilities listed in Figure 41 after they are turned
over, which would give a better idea of the ultimate cost of development. Chair Fuller noted
the Growth Management Oversight Commission had last year begun to address life-cycle cost
when they asked for financial review of most public facilities financing.
, Commissioner Carson referred to density credit - land use element 6.3 - extraordinary benefit.
She asked if the 72 units went into the medium density, and where the extraordinary benefits
were. Mr. Bazzel explained that the extraordinary benefits were required when exceeding mid-
point density for the project as a whole. At Commissioner Carson's request, Mr. Bazzel said
staff would supply the exact wording from the General Plan.
Commissioner Casillas asked for clarification of community purpose facility acreage and how
it would be accommodated. Mr. Bazzel explained that until a reciprocal agreement was reached,
the 11.4 acres would be required. This would come forward prior to the tentative subdivision
map.
Commissioner Casillas, referring to Condition 51, asked where the water main pressure was
measured. Mr. Bazzel answered that it was at the fire hydrant.
Planning Director Leiter, referring to Section 6.2 of the General Plan, responded to
Commissioner Carson regarding the mid-point range emphasizing the project as a whole was
considered.
This being the time and place as advertised, the public hearing was opened.
Claudia Troisi, representing Baldwin, gave some background of the project and introduced Van
Stevens.
Van Stevens, of Forma, described the open space system connections to corridors and elements
to the Chula Vista and surrounding County areas, the vehicular circulation system, parks,
recreation features, trail systems, habitat elements, and residential components.
Claudia Troisi returned to the podium and requested a change in a condition on page 19 in the
Public Facilities Financing Plan, clarifying the distinction between the timing for the HNTV
Study for the ability for the City to determine who would be allocated the additional capacity,
and the administrative issues with respect to updating the Eastern Chula Vista Transportation
Plan and the DIF. Another condition change on page 24, condition 23, item d - proposed trail
system - transition from industrial to residential was a concern for Baldwin and EastLake.
Because this was a condition that both property owners had to work with, they asked that the
trail be a shared responsibility in terms of the land being set aside for it by both parties. She
asked that the sentence "The trail shall be located entirely within the Salt Creek Ranch project
boundary" be stricken.
Commissioner Decker asked if the could applicant live with "fair share" in Condition 49. Ms.
Troisi answered affirmatively.
Commissioner Decker asked what size trees would be planted. Ms. Troisi answered that they
would use whatever was acceptable to both Parks & Recreation and Planning.
Commissioner Decker inquired about the reversion of community purpose facility sites--page
1-49 - Reversion of sites to applicant. Discussion followed as to whether or not the property
,
should be held for a certain length of time and whether or not it should revert to the applicant.
Ms. Troisi said every effort would be made to sell the property to a church.
Commissioner Tuchscher was concerned about the location of community purpose facility sites.
He was not comfortable with reversion to the applicant.
Commissioner Casillas asked how long developer should have to hold on to property.
Assistant Director Lee noted that Council would revisit ordinance after a certain period of time.
Commissioner Decker was concerned about maintenance of the equestrian trail and how to keep
off motorcycles off the trails. Ms. Troisi explained that the Salt Creek corridor and the trail
network would most likely be maintained by the landscape maintenance district. Assistant
Director Lee noted that issue could be followed up with the Parks & Recreation Department.
Ms. Troisi said there would be fencing on both sides of the trail which would make it more
difficult.
Commissioner Decker, referring to page I-54 - minimum speeds should be maximum speeds.
Commissioner Decker, regarding page 1-166 - number of trees per lot to be maintained by open
space maintenance district - would like to see two trees per lot if possible.
Commissioner Decker commended the applicant on the grading of the property.
Commissioner Decker asked if the trail undercrossing at "H" Street & Hunte Parkway would
be lighted. Ms. Troisi said the design would be worked out with Engineering and Planning.
Sue Strayer, 2846 Villa de Alizon, Bonita, of Bonita Valley Horsemen, was concerned with the
equestrian trails, and said they would be happy to work with Baldwin to address issues such as
"horse apples" and horse gates, and the tunnel. She asked that Baldwin consider extending the
equestrian and hiking trail to go from the East "H" Street area to head north connecting to the
two vista points. She suggested that the trail go north, then from east to west, back south or
perhaps a loop.
No one else wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
At Chair Fuller's request, Senior Planner Bazzel explained that staff recommended exclusion of
the P-C Regulations and Design Guidelines, the CEQA Findings and Statement of Overriding
Considerations, and Mitigation Monitoring Program.
Assistant City Attorney Rudolf felt staffs preference would be to have time to review the
proposed changes in the conditions and take into consideration any comments the Commission
may want to make regarding that, and bring the item back for action at the next meeting with
the Mitigation Monitoring Program and other documents.
(
Assistant Planning Director Lee suggested the public hearing be reopened and continued to the
next meeting. Commissioner Tugenberg could review the tape of the meeting in order to
comment or take action at the next meeting. A written communication had been received from
EastLake Development relating to two conditions, relating to a sound study and a sales
disclosure document. This letter had been received at the meeting and needed to be reviewed
and responded to by staff.
Chair Fuller reopened the public hearing on PCM-92-04: Consideration of Salt Creek Ranch
SPA Plan and continued the public hearing until the meeting of March 11, 1992.
Assistant Planning Director Lee stated that if the Commission had any other items they would
like staff to consider before the meeting, it would be helpful to obtain that before the next
meeting.
Commissioner Casillas asked staff to prepare a paper on the philosophy of the density transfer.
MS (Carson/Casillas) to continue PCM-92-Q4 to March 11, 1992.
Commissioner Tuchscher commented that he was very uncomfortable with the buffer between
the business center and the residential area, especially Neighborhoods 5 and 6. He felt there
would be a problem getting anything built during the second phase of the business center after
residential had been built.
VOTE: 6-0 to continue to March 11, 1992 (Commissioner Tugenberg absent)

giving an overall presentation of the development, Mr. Banel presented more
specific information about the two parks that are planned for this area.
The acreage for these two parks exceeds the Park Development Ordinance.
However, the commissioners had concems about these parks meeting the needs
of the community. There was discussion about more recreation facilities needed,
I.e. swimming pool, gymnasium, baseball fields, recreation center. The
commissioners felt that a survey could be done to find out what the public would
like to see In this area. Since commissioners wanted to see what this area looks
like now, a fieldtrip will be arranged with Baldwin Company.

COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: 02/20/92
ITEM TITLE:
SUBMITTED BY:
Selection of Name for the EastLake
Facility 17
and Recreatio~
Jess Valenzuela, Director of Parks
The Chula vista Parks and Recreation Department, in conjunction
with the EastLake Development Company sponsored a park naming
contest to select a name for the new community recreation complex
that will be :Qllder . construction this fiscal year at EastLake
Greens. The operation of the EastLake High School facilities and
park will be conducted under a Joint Use Facility Agreement that is
being drawn up between the District and the City.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Parks and Recreation Commission approves
staff's recommendation of "Chula Vista Community Park" for the name
of the EastLake facility.
DISCUSSION: The contest, which is similar to the contest conducted
for Sunridge Park, was open to all elementary age children
attending Chula Vista Hills, EastLake, and Tiffany Elementary
Schools. Also included in the contest were students from Bonita
Vista Junior and Senior High Schools.
The selection committee included the chair of the Youth Commission,
a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Chair of the
CUltural Arts Commission, a representative from the EastLake II
Home Owners Association, and city staff. Forty-four entries were
reviewed and narrowed down to two names; Chula Vista Community Park
and Serpent Community Park. The committee could not reach a
consensus of which name to choose.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: "Serpent Park" may be inappropriate for the
area because the serpent that was originally planned to weave
throughout the park may be eliminated. Staff is recommending the
selection of "Chula Vista Park," with the name "Community" included
to denote it as a park for the entire community.
Attached is the list of names from which the choice was made.

OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
AND SECTION 15091 OF TITLE 14
OF THE CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATION CODE
MARCH 1992

I.
INTRODUCTION
Section 21081 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) requires that no project shall be approved by a public
agency when significant environmental effects have been identified,
unless one of the following findings is made and supported by
substantial evidence in the record:
1) Changes or alterations have been required in or
incorporated into the project which avoid or
substantially lessen the significant environmental
effect as identified in the Final Environmental
Impact Report (EIR).
2) Changes or alterations are the responsibility of
another public agency and not the agency making the
finding.
3) Specific economic, social, .or other considerations
make infeasible the mitigation measures or project
alternatives identified in the Final ErR.
The following findings are made relative to the conclusions
of the Final Supplemental EIR for the proposed Salt Creek
Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan (SCH#89092721) and
all documents, maps, and illustrations listed in Section VI of
these findings. The project's discretionary actions include
the following:
.
Sphere of influence boundary change
annexation to the City of Chula Vista;
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan; and
P-C (planned community) zoning approval.
and
.
.
The Salt Creek Ranch project includes approximately 1,200
acres of land in the southern foothills .of San Miguel
Mountain, north of EastLake Technology Park and northwest of
Upper otay Lake. The project site is located ~n the northern
portion of the 37 square mile Eastern Territqries as defined
by the city of Chula vista. Salt Creek Ranch is situated on
land currently under the jurisdiction of the county of San
Diego; however, all but 240 acres in the extreme northeastern
corner of the project site are within the /City of Chula
vista's adopted Sphere of Influence. -
...:)~
The original SPA Plan project proposed a maximum of 2,817
residential units (773.1 acres), neighborhood parks (31. 0
acres), natural open space (360.8 acres), two elementary
school sites (24 acres), a fire station site (1.3 acre), two
community purpose facilities sites (7 acres), and major roads.
-1-
.
Analysis during preparation of both the draft SPA Plan
document and draft EIR revealed various environmental impacts
of the original SPA Plan project. In response, the applicant
refined the project in an attempt to reduce or mitigate those
impacts. Alternative 75.3 (Final SPA Plan Design Alternative)
was resubmitted to the city as the revised SPA Plan. This
modified design represents the current SPA Plan; it is
examined in the Final EIR and in the Response to Comments
Section of the Final EIR. This design proposes 2,662
residential units (749.7 acres), two neighborhood parks (total
29.3 acres), two school sites (23.1 acres), two community
purpose facilities sites (7 acres), and a fire station site (1
acre) . The Final SPA Plan Design Alternative is
environmentally superior to the project as originally
proposed.
The following findings are applicable to the project as
revised and analyzed as the Final SPA Plan Alternative in the
Final EIR and in the Response to Comments section of the Final
EIR.
II. CITY OF CHULA VISTA FINDINGS
1) The City of Chula vista, having reviewed and
considered the information contained in the
record and the Final EIR for the Salt Creek Ranch
SPA Plan finds that changes have been
incorporated into the project which mitigate,
avoid, or reduce the level of identified impacts
to insignificance or to levels acceptable to the
City.
2) The City of Chula vista Planning commission has
determined that any remaining significant effects
on the environment found to be unavoidable are
acceptable due to overriding conqerns.
3) The City of Chula vista havinq reviewed and
considered the information contained in the Final
EIR and the record, finds that none of the
significant environmental effects anticipated as
a result of the proposed project are within the
responsibility of another public/agency except
for air quality and water supply and water
quality. -.;
4) The city of Chula Vista, having reviewed and
considered the information -contained in the Final
EIR and the record, finds that no specific
economic, social, or other considerations make
-2-
infeasible the mitigation measures identified in
the Final EIR.
5) The City of Chula vista has independently
reviewed, considered and evaluated the Final EIR
and the record. On the basis of that review, the
city of Chula Vista finds that the Final EIR
reflects the city's exercise of independent
judgment over the environmental analysis
contained in the Final EIR pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21082.1. The City's
finding is supported by documents and other
substantial evidence in the record.
6) The Planning Commission acknowledges that these
Recommended CEQA Findings are advisory and do not
bind the City Council from adopting findings to
the contrary if they are supported by substantial
evidence in the record.
The City of Chula vista's Threshold/Standards, adopted
November 17, 1987, were developed to assure that the quality
of life enjoyed by the City's residents is maintained while
growth occurs. That quality of life is also important to
those who wish to develop within the City. Implementation of
the Threshold/Standards program assures that significant,
adverse impacts are avoided or reduced through sound planning
and that public services and the quality of the environment
will be preserved and enhanced. Based on these
threshold/standards, changes have been incorporated into the
project to mitigate or avoid environmental effects. The 11
issues addressed in the Threshold/Standards are discussed in
Sections III and IV below.
III. SIGNIFICANT, UNMITIGATED IMPACTS
1)
Aesthetics
,
Imoact
The project, in combination with the various development
projects in the Eastern Territories area, wou~d unavoidably
contribute to a cumulative adverse effect ort' the existing
natural landform and aesthetic character of the area. This
impact would occur with either the original .project or the
Final SPA Plan Design Alternative.
-3-
.,
,
Mitiaation
The proposed mitigation measures (Section rV.2, p.9) would
not mitigate this impact to below a level of significance.
Findina
The only impact associated with landform alteration and
aesthetics that cannot be mitigated to below a level of
significance is the cumulative impact Aside from the
mitigation measures in the Final EIR, no other measures were
suggested in comments submitted on the Draft EIR. Because no
evidence of other measures has been presented by the preparers
.of the Final EIR, the City, federal, state or local agencies
or any other interested persons, no further mitigation is
determined to be feasible or reasonable.
(see section rV.2)
2) Water Suoolv
Imoact
The project (as with any development) would contribute an
incremental cumulative impact on the region's water supply.
This conclusion applies to both the project as originally
proposed and the Final SPA Plan Design Alternative.
The
Mitiaation
.
Prior to approval of final map, the Master Plan of
Water for Salt Creek Ranch shall be approved by the
City Engineer and OWD. Further, this plan shall be
revised to include a discussion of implementation and
phasing, and participation in the water allocation
program and TSF financing for this project and other
projects in the OWD Master Plan serviqe area.
The exact locations for the proposed pump station and
3 million gallon 'reservoir to serve the 1296 Zone
shall be determined prior to approval of final grading
plans.

i
following is incorporated from EIR 89-3: :
-".;:"
.
Prior to issuance of building permits, the project
site shall either be annexed by the OWD into
Improvement District No. 22, or a new improvement
district shall be established for the project area.
In addition, the project developer shall obtain
-4-
written verification from owe at each phase of
development that the tract or parcel will be provided
adequate water service.
. The project proponents shall, if feasible, negotiate
an agreement with owe to commit to use of reclaimed
water at the earliest possible date so that owe can
ensure that an adequate supply is available. If such
an agreement is pursued, all documentation shall be
subject to site-specific environmental analysis, and
shall conform to the applicable regulations of the
City of Chula Vista, Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the state Department of Health.
. Water conservation measures for onsite landscaping and
for maintenance of roadside vegetation shall be
created and implemented by the project proponent, in
coordination with the City Public Works Department and
in consultation with OWD or other qualified water
agency/organization. Conservation measures are
recommended by the state Resources Agency Department
of Water Resources, and include but are not limited to
planting of drought tolerant vegetation and the use of
irrigation systems .which minimize runoff and
evaporation loss (see also following measure).
. The following water conservation measures should be
provided; implementation shall be approved prior to
issuance of certificates of use and occupancy;
a) Low-flush toilets (Section 17921.3, Health and
Safety code).

The cumulative impact to regional water sqpply cannot be
mitigated to below a level of significance.-"side from the
mitigation measures in the Final EIR, no other measures were
suggested in comments submitted on the Draft EIR. Because no
evidence of other measures has been presented by the preparers
of the Final EIR, the city, federal, state or local agencies
-5-
or any other interested persons, no further mitigation is
determined to be feasible or reasonable.
(see Section IV.11)
3) Offsite Area of Imoact Caioloaical Resources}
Imoact
The development of Salt Creek Ranch would necessitate the
construction of additional offsite facilities (Le., water
lines, seer lines and water reservoir) in order to accommodate
the future residents with adequate water and sewer services.
Three offsite areas directly adjacent to the project site
would house these facilities. The location of these parcels
is shown and discussed in the Final EIR. The following is a
brief summary:
Hunte parkwav - This 46-acre parcel would contain the proposed
alignment of Hunte Parkway and the Salt Creek Interceptor
line. Both improvements are proposed along approximately the
same alignment which has not yet been determined. Ultimately,
sewage flows will be collected and treated at the future Otay
Valley Water Reclamation Facility.
East "H" Street - This 7. 3-acre parcel would contain a portion
of the future alignment of East "H" Street and the Proctor
Valley 10-inch sewer line. Both improvements are proposed
along approximately the same alignment which has not yet been
determined. This proposed gravity sewer line would tie in
with the existing 15-inch gravity line within the Spring
Valley Sanitation District which conveys flow to the Spring
Valley Outfall.
Waterline/Reservoir - This 111-acre parcel would contain a
proposed waterline, access road, and reservoir in order to
provide water service to Zone 1296. The pad ~levation of the
reservoir should be approximately 1,270 feet. A specific
reservoir site has not been established.
The offsite improvements will incrementally add to the
impacts detailed in the Salt Creek Ranch GDP EIR 89-3.
Impacts to coastal sage scrub are cumulatively significant and
remain partially mi tigation through preservation and
restoration. sensitive placement of the ,"alignment and
constriction of construction corridors will" significantly
reduce potential impacts to habitats and sensitive species
through avoidance. If a large population of San Diego coast
barrel cactus cannot be avoided, a mitigation program to
include relocation should be initiated.
-6-
Mitiaation Measures
Hunte Parkwav. To mitigate potential impacts to disturbed
wetlands to below the level of significance, enhancement of
riparian habitat at a 1:1 ratio to any impacted wetlands
shall be implemented. This mitigation acreage shall be added
to the mitigation acreage for the Salt Creek Ranch development
and incorporated into the wetland mitigation plan (RECON
1991). Prior to construction, a 1603 Streambed Alteration
Agreement must be obtained from the California Department of
Fish and Game.
East "H" Street. To mitigate the loss of 11.0 acres of
coastal sage scrub and impacts to California gnatcatcher to
below the level of significance, a strategy of avoidance and
habitat enhancement shall be implemented. To avoid impacting
the full 11 acres, the construction corridor shall be
restricted down from 100 feet on each side of the roadway to
a smaller area. The avoidance will reduce impacts to the
gnatcatcher territory to below 6.2 acres. This will retain
the territory and reduce the impact to the gnatcatcher to a
level of non-significance. All remaining impacts shall
require enhancement of coastal sage scrub at a ratio of 1:1.
The mitigation site should be at a nearby location and
connected to a larger area of planned open space. The
mitigation acreage shall be added to the mitigation acreage
for the Salt Creek Ranch development and incorporated into the
habitat enhancement plan (RECON 1991).
To mitigate impacts to coast barrel cactus to below the level
of significance, a strategy of avoidance and preservation
shall be implemented. To avoid impacts to as many individuals
as possible, the construction corridor shall be restricted.
The remaining individuals that would be impacted should be
preserved via transplantation into open space. A detailed
preservation plan should be designed by a qualified
. biologist/horticulturist, who would assist in $ite selection,
implement a 5-year monitoring plan, and submit regularly
scheduled reports to the city of Chula vista.
To mitigate impacts to Otay tarplant to below the level of
significance, avoidance of the population to greatest extent
feasible shall. be implemented. The alignment.bf the roadway
shall avoid the northernmost portion of the site and the
construction corridor should be restricted in-~his area.
Reservoir/Waterline. To mitigate the ~oss of 30.7 acres of
burned coastal sage scrub to below the level of significance,
a combination of avoidance and habitat enhancement shall be
implemented. To avoid impacts to the full 30.7 acres, the
-7-
construction corridor shall be restricted. All remaining
impacts would require habitat enhancement of nearby burned
coastal sage scrub at a ratio of 1: 1. This mitigation acreage
shall be added to the mitigation acreage for the Salt Creek
Ranch development and incorporated into their habitat
enhancement plan (RECON 1991).
To mitigate impacts to San Diego golden star to below the
level of significance, avoidance of the population to the
greatest degree feasible shall be implemented. The alignment
shall remain in the currently proposed position to the
greatest extent feasible and the construction corridor shall
be restricted in the area where the population occurs.
Findina
Potential impacts to coastal sage scrub are reduced through
revegetation plans, but remain significant as defined by the
City'S General Plan.
No additional mitigation measures were suggested in
comments submitted on the Draft EIR. Any further mitigation
of the project's biological impacts is infeasible for the
following reasons:
. From a planning and environmental standpoint, the
City'S basic objective for this project is to promote
the goal contained in its General Plan to "accommodate
a full diversity of housing types, while maintaining
an orientation to detached single-family housing," and
to further implement the following objectives of its
General Plan:
"objective 10. Encourage the development of a
diversity of housing types and prices."
"objective
exceeds a
design."
"Objective 13.
a coordinated
amenities."
11. Assure that new development meets or
standard of high quality planning and
Encourage planned developments, with
mix of urban uses, open spaces, and
. ,
"Obj ecti ve 14. For new developments in Eastern
Territories, the predominant character should be low
medium densi ty, single-family housing. Where
appropriate in terms of physical setting encourage
development of quality, large-lot housing."
-8-
Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan addresses each of these
General Plan policies. The residential planned
community provides a broad variety of housing types,
ranging from multi-family attached units to large
estate lots consisting of at least one acre.
Multi-family housing is provided in accordance with
the Chula vista General Plan, which previously took
into account the location of mUlti-family housing in
areas convenient to public services, facilities and
roadway circulation. Salt Creek Ranch is uniquely
situated between the urbanized areas of Chula vista to
the west and the undeveloped areas to the east. The
project is an entirely residential community which
will provide residents of Chula Vista with high
quality, upper-end housing products which are
currently limited in the South Bay area. Salt Creek
Ranch will also provide important transitions from the
higher density developments adjacent to future SR-125
to the lower density estates in the eastern portion of
Salt Creek Ranch. Development within Salt Creek Ranch
will transition from the R-M and R-LM categories in
the western portion of the property to the low density
R-L category in the eastern and northern portions of
the property site.
Because the proposed project realizes the City'S basic
General Plan housing policies, any further
restrictions on development in the eastern portion of
the project as further mitigation of the project's
impact on coastal sage scrub would frustrate and
impede attainment of the city's basic project
objectives.
. In addition, from an environmental perspective, this
project satisfies the mitigation criteria for coastal
sage scrub which is contained in the Chula Vista
General Plan Update EIR. According)to the General
Plan EIR, offsite mitigation by ~cquisition of
equivalent coastal sage scrub habitat is only
suggested where there is a loss of "multiple
gnatcatcher nesting territories." with respect to
this project, all direct and cumulative impacts to the
California gnatcatcher have been mitig~ted to below a
level of significance. -
......Il)
. No evidence has been presented by the preparers of the
EIR, City Planning Staff or any other interested
persons which demonstrates that-additional mitigation
is warranted in light of the mitigation measures
-9-
discussed in EIR 89-3 already incorporated into the
project. These measures include:
. The modified Salt Creek Ranch GDP will preserve
approximately 50 additional acres of coastal saqe
scrub than anticipated by the General Plan. This area
is proposed as open space in order to preserve habitat
for two species of special concern, the California
gnatcatcher and the cactus wren. .
. The project applicant has aqreed to participate in a
reqional or sUb-reqional multi-species coastal saqe
scrub conservation plan (or else preservation of a
reqional corridor onsite) which will preserve a
wildlife corridor from the San Miquel mountains to the
Upper otay reservoir. This commitment will result in
permanent protection of additional acreaqe of coastal
saqe scrub, or additional onsite open space for the
reqional corridor.
. The project applicant has agreed to reveqetate
approximately 30 acres of disturbed habitat within the
proposed open space areas with coastal saqe scrub.
. The project applicant has taken substantial steps to
preserve a majority of the 365 acres of coastal saqe
scrub on the project site. Less than one qua~ter of
the coastal saqe scrub or approximately 89.6 acres
will be lost to project development under the modified
alternative A plan.
. Approximately 29 percent of the property, or 351
acres, is proposed for open space (not includinq
parks). An approximately 50 acre area ~ocated north
of the Upper otay Reservoir is desiqnated for
residential development in the General Plan, but is
proposed as open space in the GDP. ~his open space
was set aside to preserve sufficient pabitat for two
species of special concern, the qnatcatcher and the
cactus wren.

The Final EIR for the Salt Creek -Ranch GDP identified
potential incompatibilities with adjacent land uses.
potential conflicts include the proposed development's
-10-
interface with the EastLake Business Park, the Upper otay
water supply reservoir, the Chula vista Greenbelt, the SDG&E
power easement, and the otay Water District reclamation
facility. Simi,lar potential incompatibilities are identified
for the Final SPA Plan Design Alternative. In addition, the
provision of affordable housing has been addressed in both the
Final EIR for the Salt Creek Ranch GDP and in the Final
supplemental EIR for the SPA Plan.
Interface with EastLake Business Park
potential compatibility conflicts could occur from the
placement of residential uses adjacent to the EastLake
Business Park which borders the project site to the south.
UDDer otav Water SUDDlv Reservoir
The proposed project is residential development in proximity
to the Upper otay water supply reservoir.
Chula vista Greenbelt
The Chula Vista General Plan depicts the City's Greenbelt
traversing Salt Creek Ranch through Salt Creek Canyon and
stream valley. The development's interface with the Greenbelt
is important from an open space impact and continuity of use
perspective.
SDG&E Power Easement
Residential and recreational (trail) uses may be incompatible
with the SDG&E high voltage transmission lines.
otav Water District Reclamation Facilities
Along the northern edge of the proposed projeot, the property
interfaces with the reclamation facilities.) Since future
residents would be located in close pr~imity to the
facility's storage tanks and reclamation pond, a potential
compatibility issue involves a potential visual impact on
adjacent residential uses.
Affordable Housina
t
As discussed in the Final EIR for the Salt Creek Ranch SPA
Plan, the city of Chula vista is in the process of revising
its Housing Element and policies. Tl1e City is currently
working with the applicant to develop an affordable housing
program which will provide low income units as required by the
city under the new policy. Prices are projected to begin at

$79,000 in 1990 dollars. Although the SPA plan does not fully
present an affordable housing program as required by the GDP
conditions of approval, the applicant has initiated
discussions with lenders, governmental entities and non-profit
housing providers. The specific Salt Creek Ranch affordable
housing programs will evolve itS the viability of funding
options are evaluated for feasibility and development plans
become more precise. The specific Salt Creek Ranch affordable
housing programs will be subject to Planning Commission review
and approval concurrent with consideration of the Tentative
Subdivision Map. The affordable housing program will be
consistent with the principals outlined in the mitigation
section of the Final Supplemental EIR. This issue is
considered a significant impact until the program is approved.

. Include a slope which would vary in height (from 10 to 39
feet) and depth to provide vertical and horizontal
separation between uses.
. Vary in depth from an average of 50 feet to a minimum of 30
feet along the single-family area.
. Vary in depth a minimum of 20 feet along the multi-family
area.

Chula vista Greenbelt
The SPA plan proposes open space for the greenbelt area
including trail use and is consistent with the General Plan.
Uses proposed adjacent to the Salt Creek corridor include low
medium and low density residential, a school site, a
neighborhood park, and a community center. Landscaping and
setbacks would provide visual and spatial buffer between the
greenbelt and adjacent uses.
SDG&E Easement
The potential land use compatibility impacts relative to
use of the SDG&E easement as a trail shall be mitigated by
coordination with SDG&E during all phases of future planning.
The applicant shall obtain a written agreement with SDG&E to
gain permission to use the easements. The agreement shall
discuss relevant issues including permissible uses,
maintenance, and liability. This agreement shall be obtained
prior to tentative map approval.
To mitigate potential health impacts associated with the
proximity of residential and trail uses to the high voltage
transmission line, the applicant shall pull houses back away
from the easement by a conservative distance and provide
buyers of homes adjacent to the easement with a white paper
informing them of the current controversy concerning
electromagnetic fields, the applicant should also either move
the proposed trail away from the easement or post signs at
regular intervals in both English and spanish alerting trail
users of the potential risks.

Subdivision Map approval. .1
The program shall be consistent with -'the following
principles:
As determined by the 1991 Housing Element revisions,
applicant will continue to explore various methods to devote
-13-
ten percent (lOt) of the Salt Creek Ranch units to affordable
housing.
As provided by the Housing Element, the City of Chula vista
shall continue to assist the applicant to fulfill the Housing
Element affordable housing policy through .the following
actions:
. Seek State and Federal subsidies for moderate and low
income housing. (Chula Vista Housing Element, Part 2,
page 24, 1985).
. Consider the use of density bonuses consistent with
State law. (Chula vista Housing Element, Part 2, page
24, 1985).
. Consider exploration of experimental planning, design
and development techniques and standards to reduce the
cost of providing affordable housing. (Chula Vista
Housing Element, Part 2, 1985)..
The applicant will prepare and implement an affirmative
fair marketing program (Chula vista Housing Element, Part 2,
1985), including a marketing plan to attract qualified buyers
for non-market rate housing.

All significant land use impacts will be mitigated to below
a level of significance by the implementation of the
mitigation measures delineated above.
2) Aesthetics
Imoact
The proposed development would significantly alter the
landform and visual character of the site. This conclusion
applies to both the original project and the Final SPA Plan
Design Alternative. See Section 3.2 of the Final Supplemental
EIR.
Mitiqation
I
Implementation of the proposed project would result in
significant landform impacts to the project site, and visual
impacts for both the project site and .~e project vicinity.
In order to mitigate adverse impacts, specific design
guidelines have been included within the SPA Plan. project
development will require the implementation of all design
-14-
guidelines concurrent with the SPA Plan and subject to further
review and approval by the Design Review Committee (DRC). The
guidelines which are contained within the SPA Plan (Section
III, Community Design Guidelines) address grading,
landscaping, fencing, signing, and scenic highways. Design
guidelines are summarized below:
.
Gradinq: In addition to incorporation of the
requirements of the Chula vista Municipal Code and
other applicable city policies, graded areas are to be
contoured to blend with natural landform
characteristics and minimize disruption of the natural
topography. A balance between cut and fill shall be
maintained, and all grading and drainage system plans
shall be prepared under the direction of a licensed
civil engineer. Final grading plans shall be reviewed
by the city of Chula Planning Department to determine
whether large cut and fill slopes would impact views
of open space areas from residences and/or scenic
highways, and areas of high sensitivity such as the
ridgeline and canyons in Sub-area 3 shall be subject
to further review by the DRC.
.
Landscape: Plant materials shall be organized to
provide buffering, transition, and slope stabilization
between land uses and streets, and between development
and open space areas. Manufactured slopes adjacent to
habitat enhancement areas shall be landscaped with
vegetation consistent with the Habitat Enhancement
Plan. Landscaping and irrigation standards shall
conform with the City of Chula vista Landscaping
Manual.
.
Scenic Hiqhwavs: In accordance with the design
guidelines, all homes abutting the scenic highways
(East H Street and Hunte Parkway) shall be set back
from the right-of-way a variable; distance and
landscaping shall be intensified to ~ffer views of
buildings. Any long distance views available from the
scenic highway shall be protected, and all signs
within the viewshed of the scenic highway shall be
subject to further review.

To mitigate the potentiallY significant visual impacts
associated with the Upper otay Reservoir, the applicant is
proposing the following measures:
. Implementation of the Land -Alteration Standards
outlined in the GDP and Chapter 5 of the SPA Plan.
-15-
..
. Revegetation of visible slope banks with native
coastal sage scrub.
. Use of contour grading techniques as shown on the
conceptual grading plan.
. Minimization of grading on the eastern portion of the
site.
. Variable rear setbacks for homes as shown in Chapter
5 of the SPA Plan.
. Variable side yard separation as shown on the
ridge-top layout in Chapter 5 of the SPA Plan.
. Retaining natural rock outcroppings as shown in the
parks, open spaces, and trails section of the SPA
Plan.
. Installing landscaping as a backdrop to homes.
. Naturalize grading edges and tilt rear grading lines
as shown on the Ridgeline Grading Guidelines in
Chapter 5 of the SPA Plan.
. Utilize berms along visible edges as shown on the
Ridgeline Grading Guidelines in Chapter 5 of the SPA
Plan.
To mitigate the potential and visual impacts associated
with the EastLake Technology Park, the applicant is proposing
the following measures which will mitigate these impacts to
below a level of significance:
. Provide a buffer zone along the southern edge of the
property which will include a slope 'along both the
single- and multi-family areas. The 5lope will vary
in height (from approximately 10 to 39.-feet) and width
(from a minimum of 20 feet in the multi-family area
and 30 feet in the single family area, to a maximum of
150 feet at its widest in the single family area).
. The buffer shall be extensively landscaped with trees
and shrubs to effectively screen and s~arate housing
from adjacent industrial uses. .
. The buffer shall contain alO~foot wide meandering
pedestrian/bike trail linking the school/park site on
the western edge to the Salt Creek corridor. This
trail corridor shall contain open space connections
-16-
from the single-family and multi-family areas, and
link mUlti-family recreational amenities.
Along the northern and northwestern edge, the proposed
project interfaces with the otay Water District reclamation
facilities. since future Salt Creek residents would be
located in close proximity to the facilities storage tanks and
reclamation pond, a potentially significant visual impact
exists. To mitigate the potentially significant visual impact
associated with the reclamation facilities, the applicant is
proposing the following measures:
. A slope will be placed along the northern edge which
would vary in height (from daylight at the edge up to
26 feet) and depth (from daylight at the edge up to 50
feet) to obstruct any views into this area.
. Utilization of grading techniques to prevent views
from most of the homes into the reclamation area.
. Placement of homes to take advantage of natural
off-site topography to the north which prevents views
into the reclamation area.
. Utilization of landscaping and adequate rear yard
setbacks to minimize views into this area from
neighborhoods 12 and 13.
Residences situated adjacent to the SDG&E power easement in
Sub-area 3 would experience visual impacts due to existing
SDG&E transmission lines. site planning measures such as
proposed grading techniques, landscaping and home orientation
would minimize visual impacts from the project to the
facilities.

. For Basin A, development drainage shall be routed to
road crossing points for outlet into the natural
channel flow. Structure types to convey stream flows
under access roads would be determined prior to Final
Map approval.
. Within Basin B, there are two Salt Creek crossing
points, East H Street and a northern access road. The
East H Street crossing shall incorporate a suitable
drainage structure which will accommodate the proposed
trail system. The type and sizing of this drainage
system shall be determined prior to Final Map
approval. The northern structure shall be determined
prior to Final Map approval. Developed areas would be
drained via storm drain systems to outlet points
adjacent to Salt Creek.
. A low flow pump diversion system will be constructed
to transport dry weather flows out of Basin A (Upper
otay Lake Basin) and discharge them into Basin B (Salt
Creek Basin). This low flow diversion system will be
designed for 137 gpm.
. A storm drain system shall be constructed within
future Lane Avenue to convey runoff within Basic C to
existing facilities constructed by the EastLake I
project. The type of sizing of this system would be
determined prior to Final Map approval.
. Drainage facilities and energy dissipators shall be
constructed in accordance with the approved hydraulic
analysis and shall be in place and fupctioning prior

4) Water Oua1itv
ImDacts
Potential impacts associated with watershed development in
the otay reservoirs watershed include urban runoff, sewage
spills, and sedimentation. See Final Supplemental EIR,
Section 3.4.
The Final SPA Plan Design Alternative proposes a reduced
density residential development. Potential water quality
impacts would be reduced, but still potentially significant.
Mitiaation
. The project shall be subject to review and approval by
the State Department of Health Services (DHS). The
project shall implement mitigation measures as set by
DHS prior to issuance of any grading permit.
. Prior to or concurrent with SPA Plan approval, a
diversion ditch plan, or other acceptable plan to
handle drainage to the Otay Drainage Basin, shall be
prepared and approved by the City of Chu1a Vista, City
of San Diego and DHS. The plan shall analyze the
possibility of sewage system failures; effects of
increased levels of nutrients salts and pesticides
from landscaping and irrigation; and effects of
petroleum products from surface street runoff.
Additional environmental analysis may be required
based on the specific drainage ditch 9r other plans.
Design of these plans shall also consider providing
additional capacity for concurrent or future
development.
. The project applicant shall conduct an onsite
mitigation monitoring program to establish baseline
data for runoff from the project.. site. This
monitoring program will be continued until 400 units
in the sub-basin have been constructed in the
sub-basin.
. The project proponent shall submit a erosion control
plan prepared by a registered civil engineer and a
-19-
registered landscape architect in accordance with city
of Chu1a vista design standards. The plan shall be
approved prior to issuance of grading permits and
shall include placement of sandbags, temporary
sediment basins, and an erosion control maintenance

all applicable regulations established by the United
states Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as set
forth in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit requirements for urban runoff
and stormwater discharge.
Findinq
Implementation of the mitigation measures delineated above
and changes incorporated into the project will mitigate all
project and cumulative water quality impacts to below a level
of significance.
5) Biological Resources
Imoact
The habitats, biological resources, and sensitive species
occurring onsite have been detailed in Final EIR 89-3 for the
approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP. The proposed SPA is quite
similar to the approved GDP. The SPA limits of grading have
been altered so that they extend beyond the GDP limits in some
areas. In other areas, however, the SPA limits of grading
have been confined further inside the GDP limits. The amount
of each habitat that would be impacted by the new grading
limits includes an additional 1.5 acres of coastal sage scrub,
0.2 additional acre of riparian habitat, 3.3 acres less of
native grassland and 1.8 acre more of disturbed grassland.
The additional areas of impact represent the sum of many
small and disjunct areas of impact. Thus the 1.5 acres of
impact to coastal sage scrub would be distributed throughout
the site and is not a singular area or tbe sum of a few areas.
Additional SPA impacts to coastal sage scrub are incremental
and are not considered significant. The impact to California
-20-
gnatcatcher is no greater than it would be under the GDP.
Thus the SPA would not create any new significant impacts to
California gnatcatcher. Although coastal sage scrub would be
slightly more impacted overall, a 2.7 acre patch of sage scrub
would be newly placed in natural open space. This patch
contains a large cactus thicket and a cactus wren nest.
Implementation of the SPA would not impact any cactus wren
nests on the site, while the GDP would have impacted one
thicket and one nest. The SPA would not create any new
significant impacts to cactus wren.
The additional impact to riparian habitats is 0.2 acre.
All wetland impacts require mitigation, due to the USFWS and
ACOE "no net loss of wetlands" policy. Therefore, impacts to
riparian habitat are considered significant.
Native grassland onsite would be impacted less than it
would have been under the GDP. The increased amount of native
grassland retained onsite would allow more suitable habitat
for the sensitive plant species that may occur there. Species
with a high potential of occurrence include Orcutt's brodiaea
(Brodiaea orcuttii), Otay tarplant (Hemizonia conjugens), and
San Diego County needle grass (stipa diegoensis). While the
SPA would reduce impacts to native grassland overall, the
native grassland habitat onsite should be surveyed as
recommended in the original EIR.
The SPA would impact an additional 1.8 acres of disturbed
grassland habitat. The loss of this disturbed habitat is not
considered significant.
Mitiaation
To mitigate additional impacts to 0.2 acre of riparian
habitat to below the level of significance,
creation/enhancement of riparian habitat shall be implemented.
At a 2:1 ratio, 0.4 acre of riparian habitat ~all be created
or enhanced. This mitigation acreage shall ~e added to the
mitigation acreage for the Salt Creek Ranch development and
incorporated into the wetland mitigation plan prepared by
RECON.
Findina
.
Impacts to riparian wetland habitat would ~ mitigated to
below a level of significance through the mitigation measures
delineated above.
(See Section III.3)
-21-
6) CUltural Resources
The potential impacts to cultural resources as a result of
implementation of the SPA Plan are identical to those that
would occur with implementation of the GDP. These impacts
were discussed in detail in Final EIR 89-3. See also Final
Supplemental EIR, section 3.6.
Mitiaation
. Mitigation of impacts to important cultural resources
can be achieved through either avoidance or by
conducting a data recovery program. Avoidance could
include project redesign, or indexing the content of
a site by excavating a small sample then capping the
site with 2 feet of fill and incorporating these sites
or portions of these sites into the Salt Creek Park
system (Chula vista Greenbelt).
. If avoidance of important prehistoric archaeological
resources cannot be achieved, a data recovery program
to mitigate development impacts shall be conducted,
including, where necessary, surface collection and
mapping of artifacts, a phased data recovery program,
and monitoring. This phased approach shall employ a
random sample in conjunction with a focused inventory
for features (Le., hearths). The data recovery
program shall be in accordance with a regional
approach for all prehistoric sites within Salt Creek
Ranch, Salt Creek I and EastLake III, thereby allowing
a comprehensive understanding for these sites. This
regional understanding would also be in agreement with
the Bonita-Miguel Archaeological District within which
CA-SOi-4,530/W-643 falls.
. The data recovery shall follow the Advisory council's
guidelines as defined within ITreatment of
Archaeological Properties, A Handbook (ACHP 1980).
The treatment plan shall be oriented to address local
and regional research questions and clearly identify
the methods to be used to address the research
questions. Research questions to be addressed are
listed in ERCE's June 1989 Salt Creek Ranch CUltural
Resource Evaluation on file at the City:..of Chula vista
Planning Department. .."
. To ensure that potentially important historic
archaeological resources assumed to be present at the
eight locales listed above are not adversely affected,
a program to include monitoring of grading activities
-22-
with the possibility of data recovery is recommended.
This program shall provide for excavation, recording
and collection of resources if significant features,
such as privies or trash deposits, are located during
grading. This program shall include analysis of
recovered artifacts in relation to an approved
research design and a report of findings.
. Indirect impacts may occur to historic sites located
adjacent and exterior to the project boundary (H-ll,
H-15, H-16, H-17). Fencing of project boundaries and
strict avoidance of offsite impacts in these areas
should occur. The remaining nine sites
(CA-SOi-7,197A, CA-soi-7,211, CA-soi-8,206C,
CA-SOi-9,169, CA-soi-7,977, CA-soi-ll,045,
CA-SOi-ll,046, CA-SOi-ll,626, and H-9) are identified
as not important and, as such, need not be addressed
in this document.
Findina
All significant cultural, historic, and paleontological
impacts will be mitigated to below a level of significance by
the implementation of the mitigation measures.
7) Traffic
ImDact
The original proposed project would generate 31,290 daily
vehicle trips with 2,777 trips expected during the morning
peak hour and 2,986 trips expected during the afternoon peak
hour. The Final SPA Plan Oesign Alternative proposes 155
fewer dwelling units than the original project thus resulting
in reduced vehicular trips. However, the cumulative impacts
to the roadway system would be similar. See Final
supplemental EIR, Section 3.7. i
Mitiaation

project applicant will install traffic signals or bond
for future installation at the following
intersections:
East "H" street/Lane Avenue
East "H" street/Hunte Parkway
Lane Avenue/Telegraph Canyon Road
Hunte Parkway/Telegraph Canyon Road
. The project applicant will implement transportation
demand management strategies, including provisions of
transit service and bus stops in order to reduce the
peak hour demand on the street network.
. Reduce the development potential of Phase 1 by 120
dwelling units. This reduction will result in an
acceptable level of service (LOS D) of the
intersection of East "H" Street and Hidden vista
Drive.

8) Noise
Imoact
Traffic-generated and urban noise would result from project
implementation. Onsite future noise levels due to cumulative
traffic will require onsite noise attenuation along various
roadways. See Final Supplemental EIR, section 3.8.
Mitiaation
. The noise impact on the residences along East "H"
Street shall be mitigated by the placement of a solid
wall or a wall/berm combination on the building pads
at the top of the slopes adjacent the roadway. The
walls must be of solid masonry construction with a
material weight of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot
which would not allow any air spaces along their
entire length.
. Each noise wall or wall/berm combination shall be
placed on the building pads at the top of the slope
between the residences and the roadway and shall be 5
feet high. The end .of each noise wall must wrap
around the building pad enough to block the line of
sight from all points in the exterior living space to
any portion of the impacting roadway. Figure 3-35
depicts the proposed locations of the noise walls or
wall/berm combinations. If the walls or wall/berm
combinations are incorporated into the project design,
exterior noise levels would be reduced to below a
level of significance.
. Even with the incorporation of the above mitigation
measures, exterior noise level under buildout
conditions will continue to exceed .60 dBA Ldn on
portions of the project site. !Therefore, in
accordance with the standards set by Title 24, an
interior acoustical study will be required for all
mUlti-family units proposed for the site. Possible
mitigation measures to reduce interior noise levels
below the 45 dBA Ldn interior noise standard may
include, but are not .restricted ~b, mechanical
ventilation and closed window conditions.

projects in the OWD Master Plan service area.
. The exact locations for the proposed pump station and
3 million gallon reservoir to serve the 1296 Zone
shall be determined prior to approval of final grading
plans.
. Prior to issuance of building permits, the project
site shall either be annexed by the OWD into
Improvement District No. 22, or a new improvement
district shall be established for the project area.
In addition, the project developer shall obtain
written verification from OWD at each phase of
development that the tract or parcel will be provided
adequate water service.

approximately the same alignment. Impacts relating to the
proposed interceptor line are anticipated along a 100-foot
wide pipeline construction corridor and grading and fill
impacts related to Hunte Parkway are anticipated to be
restricted to a l34-foot wide corridor. Construction of both
the proposed interceptor line and Hunte Parkway will affect
portions of CA-SDi-12,037, CA-SDi-12,038, and CA-SDi-12,039
and Isolate 1-314.
East "H" street. A 10-inch pipeline and a segment of East
"H" street are proposed for the East. "H" street parcel.
Trenching and clearing as necessary is anticipated along the
100-foot wide pipeline construction corridor proposed along
the northern side of this parcel. Impacts related to the
construction of East "H" street are anticipated to be
restricted to a l70-foot wide corridor along the existing
Proctor Valley Road alignment and include grading and fill

Evaluation for determination of importance under CEQA
through a cultural resource testing program is
necessary at these sites.
. Mitigation of impacts to important cultural resources
can be achieved through either avoidance or by
conducting a data recovery program. Avoidance could
include capping sites with 2 feet of fill or redesign
of project components. Recommended mitigation
measures include the following:
. If avoidance of archaeological resources cannot be
achieved, a data recovery program to mitigate
development impacts to important cultural resource
sites shall be conducted, including, where necessary,
surface collection and mapping of artifacts, a phased
data recovery program, and monitoring during facility
or other construction. This phased .approach shall
employ a random sample in conjunctionjwith a focused
inventory for features (e.g., hearths). The data
recovery program shall be in accordance with a
regional approach for all prehistoric sites within
Salt Creek Ranch, Salt Creek I and EastLake III, .
thereby allowing a comprehensive understanding for
these sites. This regional program is in agreement
with the Bonita-Miguel Archaeological pistrict.

V. SCOPE OF FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL EIR AND IMPACTS NOT FOUND
TO BE SIGNIFICANT
The Final Supplemental EIR addresses potential
environmental impacts of the proposed Salt Creek Ranch SPA
Plan. The proposed project is described in detail in section
2, project Description, of the Final Supplemental EIR. The
Final Supplemental EIR contains the full range of sections
required under CEQA for a Supplemental EIR: Introduction,
Project Description, Impact Analysis, Alternatives Analysis,
Summary of Unavoidable Significant Impacts, References and
Consultant Identification.
Each of the issue areas/sections listed below were
identified by the City of Chula vista as potentially
significant environmental impacts requiring an updated
analysis and/or new analysis beyond that discussed in Final
EIR 89-3 for the Salt Creek Ranch GDP (SCH No. 89092721). The
Final Supplemental EIR reviews in sufficient detail these
potential impacts associated with implementation of the
project, constituting the scope of this Final Supplemental
EIR:

During the comment period on the Draft Supplemental EIR, a
commentator suggested an approximate alternative alignment for
access to offsite properties to the north of the Salt Creek
Ranch site. The City finds that this alternative is not
feasible or reasonable for the reasons set forth below:
. The issue of access was addressed during the General
Development Plan (GDP) environmental review process
for the Salt Creek Ranch project. The Final EIR for
the GDP was certified in September, 1990. The Chula
vista City Council approved the Salt Creek Ranch GDP
and certified the related Final EIR (EIR-89-3) in
September, 1990. The administrative record from the
GDP environmental review process contains
correspondence and other documents relating to access
for properties north of the Salt Creek Ranch project
site. In addition, the record contains ,the Salt Creek
Ranch GDP, which includes the traffic circulation plan
(Figure 36) showing the approved access points, and a
slope encroachment analysis (Figure 25) illustrating
onsite slope constraints affecting th~ access points.
This slope analysis illustrates that the approved
access point avoids encroachment into areas to the
north which are located within a 25 percent slope
area. The record also contains the Final EIR for the
Salt Creek Ranch GDP. The Final EIR shows that onsite
biological constraints (primarily coastal sage scrub)
eliminated other reasonable or feasible alternate
access points. The approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP and
related Final EIR also illustrate that alternate
access points to the north would now encroach into
designated onsite open space areas. The Salt Creek
Ranch GDP, the Final EIR and the record from the GDP
environmental review process are available for public
-32-
review at the city's Planning Department located at
276 Fourth Avenue, Chula vista, California.
. Based on existing available information for onsite
sensitive resources and offsite conditions, the access
that is identified in the SPA Plan EIR is consistent
with the access analyzed in the Final EIR for the GDP
and is considered to be adequate to serve the
properties north of the project site. Further
analysis of offsite development access will require,
among other things, the submission of proposed
development plans (none submitted to date), the
documentation of offsite constraints and independent
environmental review at that time.

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
This mitigation monitoring program was prepared for the City of Chula Vista for the Salt
Creek Ranch Specific Planning Area (SPA) Plan project to comply with AB 3180, which
requires public agencies to adopt such programs to ensure effective implementation of
mitigation measures. This monitoring program is dynamic in that it will undergo changes
as additional mitigation measures are identified and additional conditions of approval are
placed on the project throughout the project approval process.
The Salt Creek Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan EIR is supplemental to the
Salt Creek Ranch Annexation/General Development Plan Pre-Zone EIR (EIR 89-3,
certified in September 1990). A mitigation monitoring program was also prepared for
EIR 89-3, and measures that have not yet been implemented have been incorporated into
this updated mitigation monitoring program.
This monitoring program will serve a dual purpose of verifying completion of the
mitigation measures for the proposed project and generating information on the
effectiveness of the mitigation measures to guide future decisions. The program includes
the following:
. Monitoring team qualifications
. Specific monitoring activities
. Reporting system
. Criteria for evaluating the success of the mitigation measures
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan project includes approximately 1200 acres of land in the
southern foothills of San Miguel Mountain, north of EastLake Technology Park and
northwest of Upper Otay Lake currently under the jurisdiction of the County of San
Diego. The project site is located in the northern portion of the 37 square mile Eastern
Territories as defined by the City of Chula Vista. All but 240 acres in the extreme
northeastern comer of the project site are located within the <;ity of Chula Vista's
adopted Sphere of Influence. Elevations on the project site range from approximately
550 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) in the western portion of the site to over 1100
feet AMSL in the northern portion of the property.
The principal components of the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan include 2,662 residential
units, 380 acres of parks/open space, 31 acres of public facilities including two schools,
a fire station and a community purpose facility, and 36 acres of major roads on
approximately 1,197 acres. These project components are discussed in detail in the EIR
text.
The supplemental EIR environmental analysis, incorporated herein as reference, focused
on 10 issues determined to be potentially significant by the City of Chula Vista. The
environmental analysis concluded that for all of the environmental issues discussed, some
of the significant and potentially significant impacts could be avoided or reduced through
implementation of recommended mitigation measures. The 10 issue areas are land use;
.
-II
landform/aesthetics; hydrology; water quality; biological resources; cultural resources;
transportation and circulation; noise; public services and utilities; and offsite areas of
impact. Cumulatively adverse impacts were identified for landform/alteration and
cumulatively significant, unmitigable impacts were identified for water. With respect to
the offsite areas of impact, cumulatively significant, partially mitigable impacts were
identified for biology, specifically coastal sage scrub.
Those issue areas considered not to require further analyses beyond that discussed in Em
89-3 include: conversion of agricultural land; geology/soils; air quality; fiscal; public
services including police protection, fire protection, schools, parks, gas and electricity;
public transit, library facilities and solid waste disposal; however, applicable mitigation
measures which require implementation during construction of the project have been
included in this program.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of only those impacts identified as significant or potentially
significant; the monitoring program for the Salt Creek Ranch project therefore addresses
the impacts associated with the issue areas identified above.
Miti~ation Monitoring Team
A monitoring team should be identified once the mitigation measures have been adopted
as conditions of approval by the Chula Vista City Council. Managing the team would
be the responsibility of the Mitigation Compliance Coordinator (MCC). The monitoring
activities would be accomplished by the Environmental Monitors (EMs), Environmental
Specialists (ESs), and the MCC. While specific qualifications should be determined by
the City of Chula Vista, the monitoring team should possess the following capabilities:
. Interpersonal, decision-making, and management skills with demonstrated
experience in working under trying field circumstances;
. Knowledge of and appreciation for the general environmental attributes and
special features found in the proj ect area;
. Knowledge of the types of environmental impacts associated with construction
of cost-effective mitigation options; and
. Excellent communication skills.
The responsibilities of the MCC throughout the monitoring effort include the following:
. Overall implementation and management of the monitoring program;
. Quality control of the site-development monitoring team;
. Administration and preparation of daily logs, status reports, compliance
reports and the final construction monitoring report;
-2-
.
..
. Liaison between the City of Chula Vista, the Salt Creek Ranch developer, and
the applicant's contractors;
. Monitoring of onsite, day-to-day construction activities, including the
direction of EMs and ESs in the understanding of all permit conditions,
site-specific project requirements, construction schedules and environmental
quality control effort;
. Ensure contractor knowledge of and compliance with all appropriate permit
conditions;
. Review of all construction impact mitigations and, if need be, propose
additional mitigation;
. Have the authority to require correction of activities observed that violate
project environmental conditions or that represent unsafe or dangerous
conditions;
. Maintain prompt and regular communication with the onsite EMs and ESs,
and personnel responsible for contractor performance and permit compliance.
The primary role of the Environmental Monitors is to serve as an extension of the MCC
in performing the quality control functions at the construction sites. Their responsibilities
and functions are to:
a) Maintain a working knowledge of the Salt Creek Ranch permit conditions,
contract documents, construction schedules and progress and any special
mitigation requirements for his or her assigned construction area;
b) Assist the MCC and Salt Creek Ranch construction contractors in
coordinating with City of Chula Vista compliance activities;
c) Observe construction activities for compliance with the City of Chula
Vista permit conditions; and
d) Provide frequent verbal briefings to the MCC and construction personnel,
and assist the MCC as necessary in preparing status reports.
The primary role of the Environmental Specialists is to provide expertise when
environmentally sensitive issues occur throughout the development phases of project
implementation and to provide direction for mitigation.
Prop-am Procedural Guidelines
Prior to any construction activities, meetings should take place between all the parties
involved to initiate the monitoring program and establish the responsibility and authority
of the participants. Mitigation measures which need to be defined in greater detail will
-3-
.
be addressed prior to any project plan approvals in follow-up meetings designed to
discuss specific monitoring effects.
An effective reporting system must be established prior to any monitoring efforts. All
parties involved must have a clear understanding of the mitigation measures as adopted
and these mitigations must be distributed to the participants of the monitoring effort.
Those that would have a complete list of all the mitigation measures adopted by the City
of Chula Vista would include the City of Chula Vista, the Salt Creek Ranch developer,
the MCC and the construction crew supervisor. The MCC would distribute to each
Environmental Specialist and Environmental Monitor a specific list of mitigation
measures that pertain to his or her monitoring tasks and the appropriate time frame that
these mitigations are anticipated to be implemented. In addition to the list of mitigations,
the monitors will have mitigation monitoring report (MMR) forms with each mitigation
written out on the top of the form. Below the stated mitigation measure, the form will
have a series of questions addressing the effectiveness of the mitigation measure. The
monitors shall complete the MMR and file it with the MCC following their monitoring
activity. The MCC will then include the conclusions of the MMR into an interim and
final comprehensive construction report to be submitted to the City of Chula Vista. This
report will describe the major accomplishments of the monitoring program, summarize
problems encountered in achieving the goals of the program, evaluate solutions developed
to overcome problems and provide a list of recommendations for future monitoring
programs. In addition and if appropriate, each EM, and/or ES will be required to fill
out and submit a daily log report to the MCC. The daily log report will be used to
record and account for the monitoring activities of the monitor. Weekly/monthly status
reports, as determined appropriate, will be generated from the daily logs and compliance
reports and will include supplemental material (Le., memoranda, telephone logs, letters).
This type of feedback is essential for the City of Chula Vista to conform the
implementation and effectiveness of the mitigation measures imposed on the project.
Actions in Case of Non-compliance
There are generally three separate categories of non-complianq: associated with the
adopted conditions of approval:
. Non-compliance requiring an immediate halt to a specific task or piece of
equipment.
. Infraction that initiates an immediate corrective action (no work or task
delay).
. Infraction that does not warrant immediate corrective aCtion and results in no
workor task delay.
-4-
.
In all three cases, the MCC would notify the Salt Creek Ranch contractor and the City
of Chula Vista, and an MMR would be filed with the MCC on a daily basis.
There are a number of options the City of Chula Vista may use to enforce this program
should non-compliance continue. Some methods commonly used by other lead agencies
include "stop work" orders; fines and penalties (civil); restitution; permit revocations;
citations; and injunctions. It is essential that all parties involved in the program
understand the authority and responsibility of the onsite monitors. Decisions regarding
actions in case of non-compliance are the responsibility of the City of Chula Vista.
The following text includes a summary of the project impacts, and a list of all the
associated mitigation measures. The monitoring efforts necessary to ensure that the
mitigation measures are properly implemented are incorporated into the measures. All
the mitigation measures identified in the EIR are anticipated to be translated into
conditions of project approval. In addition, once the project has been approved and prior
to its implementation, the mitigation measures shall be further detailed.

techniques and standards to reduce the cost of providing affordable
housing. (Chula Vista Housing Element, Part 2, 1985).
The applicant will prepare and implement an affirmative fair marketing
program (Chula Vista Housing Element, Part 2, 1985), including a marketing
plan to attract qualified buyers for non-market rate housing.
-6-
,
Should it become infeasible, impractical or inappropriate to provide affordable
housing as determined by the pending Housing Element revisions, the
applicant and the City shall consider alternative methods of achieving
affordable housing opportunities including, but not limited to the following:
- Land Set Aside: An equitable donation of a building site which could be
made available to the County Housing Authority or other non-profit entity
to construct affordable housing.
Off-Site Proiects: Construction of an affordable housing project at an
off-site location, including consideration of renewal, rehabilitation and
preservation projects, and the provision of homeless assistance program.
- In-Lieu Contributions: In-lieu contributions to be used to provide
assistance to other identified affordable housing efforts. The contribution
shall be evaluated to ensure its adequacy in relation to achieving assistance
opportunities commensurate to the level of the original project
requirement.
The applicant will actively explore the participation of South County
jurisdictions in non-profit housing agencies in the development, ownership and
management of affordable housing projects. The applicant will also assist
these non-profit efforts to increase their ability to secure additional funding
resources to develop quality affordable housing.
Monitorin~
Mitigation monitoring of the above measures shall occur by appropriate City review and
approval as dictated in each measure (Le., City Planning review and acceptance prior to
tentative map approval). The applicant shall provide a copy of the written agreement
from SDG&E to the City Planning Department prior to tentative map approval. The
applicant's affordable housing program shall be subject to review and approval by the
Planning Commission as a condition of project approval.
Landform! Aesthetics
Summary of Imoacts
Development of Salt Creek Ranch will permanently alter the existing landform, rural
character, and visual quality of the project site. Potentially significant visual impacts
anticipated with the development of Salt Creek Ranch include impacts to residents to the
south and southwest of the project site, impacts to Chula Vista Greenbelt users including.
-7-
the Upper Otay Reservoir, impacts to scenic highway users, and offsite visual impacts
associated with EastLake Technology Park, the Otay Water District reclamation facilities,
and the Upper Otay Reservoir.
Miti!!ation Measures
Project development will require the implementation of all design guidelines concurrent
with the SPA Plan and subject to further review and approval by the Design Review
Committee (DRe). The guidelines which are contained within the SPA Plan are
summarized below:
. Gradin~: In addition to incorporation of the requirements of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code and other applicable city policies, graded areas are to be
contoured to blend with natural landform characteristics and minimize
disruption of the natural topography. A balance between cut and fill shall be
maintained, and all grading and drainage system plans shall be prepared under
the direction of a licensed civil engineer. Final grading plans shall be
reviewed by the City of Chula Vista Planning Department to determine
whether large cut and fill slopes would impact views of open space areas from
residences and/or scenic highways, and areas of high sensitivity such as the
ridgeline and canyons in Sub-area 3 shall be subject to further review by the
DRC.
. Landscape: Plant materials shall be organized to provide buffering,
transition, and slope stabilization between land uses and streets, and between
development and open space areas. Manufactured slopes adjacent to habitat
enhancement areas shall be landscaped with vegetation consistent with the
Habitat Enhancement Plan. Landscaping and irrigation standards shall
conform with the City of Chula Vista Landscaping Manual, subject to further
review and approval by the DRC.
. Scenic Hi~hways: In accordance with the design guidelines, all homes
abutting the scenic highways (East H Street and Hunte "Parkway) shall be set
back from the right-of-way a variable distance and landscaping shall be
intensified to buffer views of buildings. Any long distance views available
from the scenic highway shall be protected, and all signs within the viewshed
of the scenic highway shall be subject to further review by the DRC.

,
Monitorin~
The City of Chula Vista Design Review Committee will review, approve, and monitor
all project design guidelines, including grading, landscaping, fencing, signing, and scenic
highway plans during all phases of development.
Geology/Soils
Summary of Imoacts
Geotechnical constraints to development onsite include difficulty in rock excavation; soil
and topsoil removal; and slope instability. Seismic ground acceleration potential exists,
typical of the area.
Mitil!ation Measures
The following measure is in reference to detailed recommendations from the GeoSoils
February 1988 and August 1988 reports. The reports are on file at the City Planning and
Engineering Departments.
. Conclusions and recommendations of the February 1988 and August 1988
GeoSoils reports, pages 23 through 42, and 24 through 39, respectively, shall
be adhered to in accordance with City procedures, subject to approval of the
City Engineer prior to any tentative map approvals. Recommendations therein
cover the following topics, actions and potential impacts: ripping, soil
removals, slope stability/grading, erosion control, sub-surface water control,
earthwork grading and balancing, soil expansion, slope design, grading
guidelines, foundation recommendations, retaining wall design, graded slope
maintenance and planting, and procedures for grading plan review.
Monitoring
Implementation of the above geotechnical measure shall be verified by City review of
future tentative maps, which are subject to City Engineer approval. Subsequent
geotechnical work shall delineate specific grading and similar onsite monitoring activities
to be conducted during project grading and construction by a qualified geologist.

Hydrology
Summary of Imoacts
The increase in impervious surface as a result of the proposed project would increase
runoff flow rates downstream.
Mitit!ation Measures
To ensure that there are no hydrologic impacts, the following measures shall be
implemented:
. For Basin A, development drainage shall be routed to road crossing points for
outlet into the natural channel flow. Structure types to convey stream flows
under access roads would be determined prior to Final Map approval.
. Within Basin B, there are two Salt Creek crossing points, East H Street and
a northern access road. The East H Street crossing shall incorporate a
suitable drainage structure which will accommodate the proposed trail system.
The type and sizing of this drainage system shall be determined prior to Final
Map approval. The northern structure shall be determined prior to Final Map
approval. Developed areas would be drained via storm drain systems to outlet
points adjacent to Salt Creek.
. A low flow pump diversion system will be constructed to transport dry
weather flows out of Basin A (Upper Otay Lake Basin) and discharge them
into Basin B (Salt Creek Basin). This low flow diversion system will be
designed for 137 gpm.
. A storm drain system shall be constructed within future Lane Avenue to
convey runoff within Basic C to existing facilities conslI)Jcted by the EaslLake
I project. The type of sizing of this system would ~ determined prior to
Final Map approval. : .
. Drainage facilities and energy dissipators shall be constructed in accordance
with the approved hydraulic analysis and shall be in place and functioning
prior to completion of the grading operation.
. Development of the subject project must comply 'with all applicable
regulations established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as set forth in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit requirements for urban runoff and stormwater discharge.
-10-
Monitorin~
Implementation of the above measures shall be guaranteed by City review of the required
analysis and drainage plans, which are subject to the City Engineer's and City Landscape
Architect's approval prior to tentative map submittal acceptance. The City will ensure
conformance with all applicable City flood control, Otay Water District and State
Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations prior to issuance of grading permits.
Detailed monitoring (field) measures for the construction period shall be delineated at the
subdivision level.
Water Quality
Summary of Imoacts
Project development would create potential water quality impacts to downstream areas
and the adjacent Upper and Lower Otay Reservoir.
Miti~ation Measures
. The project shall be subject to review and approval by the State Department
of Health Services (DHS). The project shall implement mitigation measures
as set by DHS prior to issuance of any grading permit.
. Prior to or concurrent with Final Map approval, a diversion ditch plan, or
other acceptable plan to handle drainage to the Otay Drainage Basin, shall be
prepared and approved by the City of Chula Vista and DHS. The plan shall
analyze the possibility of sewage system failures; effects of increased levels
of nutrients salts and pesticides from landscaping and irrigation; and effects
of petroleum products from surface street runoff. Additional environmental
analysis may be required based on the specific drainage ditch or other plans.
Design of these plans shall also consider providing a,dditional capacity for
concurrent or future development.
-
. The project applicant shall conduct an onsite mitigation monitoring program
to establish baseline data for runoff from the project site. This monitoring
program will be continued until 400 units in the sub-basin have been
constructed in the sub-basin. ,
. The project proponent shall submit a erosion control plan prepared by a
registered civil engineer and a registered landscape architect in accordance
with City of Chula Vista design standards. The plan shall be approved prior
-11-
to issuance of grading permits and shall include placement of sandbags,
temporary sediment basins, and an erosion control maintenance plan.
. The project proponent shall submit a storm drain plan prepared by a
registered civil engineer in accordance with City of Chula Vista design
standards. The plan must be approved prior to the issuance of grading
permits and shall include permanent erosion control facilities.
. Development of the subject project must comply with all applicable
regulations established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as set forth in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permit requirements for urban runoff and stormwater discharge.
Monitorin~
Mitigation monitoring of the above measures shall occur by appropriate City staff review
and approval. Specific, onsite field mitigation monitoring requirements and activities
shall be established prior to any onsite grading permits or tentative map approvals.
Biological Resources
Summary of Impacts
Project development will significantly and directly impact riparian wetlands, native
grassland and coastal sage scrub habitat, and the California gnatcatcher and cactus wren,
both sensitive species. Construction practices and long-term urban activities also present
secondary threats to adjacent and/or sensitive non-developed areas.
Miti~ation Measures
. The project applicant shall comply with the measures Qutlined in the Habitat
Enhancement Plan prepared for the Salt Creek Ranch project during all stages
of development.
. A spring (May-June) survey of the native grassland habitat onsite (Subarea 3)
shall be conducted to determine the presence/absence and abundance of
sensitive plant species that could be expected to occur in this habitat prior to
approval of grading plans. The sensitivity of the loss of native grassland
habitat shall be determined after the results of this survey are provided to City
staff.
-12-
,
. The developer shall agree to participate in a regional multi-species coastal
sage scrub conservation plan. If, prior to approval of the grading plan for
areas lOa, lOb, and 11 (which are identified as the three easternmost "L"
areas on Figure R-l of the Final EIR), an acceptable off-site regional wildlife
corridor linking San Miguel Mountain with the Upper Otay Reservoir has not
been adopted as part of the conservation plan, then development of the
17 acre R-L development area in the eastern portion of the property shall not
occur and a reconfiguration of the northeastern R-L area to provide a wider
open space area for a regional wildlife corridor shall be implemented. The
width of the open space area shall be sufficient to ensure long-term viability
of the wildlife corridor. This condition shall also be applied to conditions of
the Tentative Subdivision Map.
. Selective grading shall be required and enforced, i.e., only areas immediately
subject to development should be graded.
. Grading shall be prohibited during the rainy season (November through
March).
. Erosion prevention measures such as fences, hay bales, and/or detention
basins shall be on site during development and in place prior to construction.
. Manufactured slopes and disturbed grassland in open space areas shall be
revegetated with native scrub species found in the area. Revegetation of these
areas would have the benefits of potentially providing habitat for the
California black-tailed gnatcatcher, increasing the quality of the riparian
buffer in selected areas, and reducing the probability of nonnative landscaping
materials invading natural habitats. Species suitable for this revegetation
include the following:
Anemisia californica
Eriogonum fasciculatum
Lotus scoparius
Salvia mellifera
Salvia apiana
Haplopappus venetus
Eschscholzia californica
Lupinus spp.
California Sagebrush
Flat-toppe4 Buckwheat
Deerweed:
Black Sage
White Sage
Goldenbush
California Poppy
Lupine
-~.
. The coastal sage scrub revegetation areas shall be effectively hydroseeded,
followed by a tackified straw mulch. Materials and seed mixes may be
changed only with the approval of the project biologist/horticulturist.
-13-
. This habitat shall be irrigated as needed for the first year to accelerate
establishment and coverage. The hydroseeding shall be completed in the
summer, if possible, so as to establish cover prior to the rainy season. A
number of annual species are included in the hydroseed mixture (California
poppy and lupines) to provide color to the slopes. The species should reseed
themselves yearly.
General Recommendations
Implementation of the following recommendations will buffer and protect sensitive
wetland and upland habitats and the wildlife therein, and prevent further degradation of
the habitat during and after the construction process.
Construction Practices: Additional loss of habitat could occur from the use of heavy
equipment in wetland areas, on- and offsite. Nonsensitive construction practices resulting
in additional impacts to wetland vegetation would increase the total wetland impact
acreage, and, ultimately, the amount of mitigation required. Impacts to wetland
vegetation adjacent to the grading areas would be reduced by adherence to certain
construction practices, as outlined below.
. Heavy equipment and construction activities shall be restricted to the grading
areas to the greatest degree possible in order to reduce direct impacts to
wetland habitat. Construction of cut and fill slopes, and equipment used for
this construction, will be kept within the limits of grading. Prohibited
activities in the wetland habitat include staging areas, equipment access, and
disposal or temporary placement of excess fill. Construction limits and
wetland habitat shall be flagged by a qualified biologist. Construction
activities shall be monitored by an on site inspector to ensure that grading
activities do not affect additional acreage. Any unauthorized impacts cause
by construction operations would require that the contractor replace all habitat
to its original condition, with wetland habitat potentially being restored at
greater that a I: 1 ratio. -
. Fueling of equipment shall not occur in any portion of the site near the
intermittent stream.
. Areas designated as natural open space shall not be grubbed, cleared, or
graded, but shall be left in their natural state.
. To ensure that contractors are fully aware of specific restrictions of the
project, such as staging areas, limits of fill, no vehicle zones, and other
-14-
appropriate regulations, information shall be clearly shown on the construction
plans. Contractors shall be fully aware of the sensitivities and restrictions
prior to bidding.
Qpen Space: The primary means of mitigating significant impacts to biological resources
is the preservation of a system of open space which encompasses the most valuable
habitat or sensitive species onsite. Designation of open space is an initial step in
preservation of the sensitive resources therein. The integrity of open space must also be
preserved through adherence to responsible construction practices, as outlined above, and
the exclusion of certain post-construction activities.
The following measures are provided to minimize the effects of the development in
natural open space areas subsequent to construction activities:
. In the event that a fire or fuelbreak is deemed necessary, plant species used
in this area shall be noninvasive, so as to reduce impacts to remaining native
vegetation. Suitable species from a biological standpoint would be low
growing, moderately fire-retardant, native species such as prostrate coyote
bush (Baccharis pilularis var. pilularis).
. No clearing of brush shall be allowed outside the fire or fuelbreak, and no
fuelbreak clearing will be allowed in sensitive habitat areas. In general, the
limits of the fuelbreak will be measured from the building pads. The width
of the fuelbreak may be reduced by the use of low-growing, fire-retardant
species (see above measure).
. Plants in riparian and/or natural areas within the project's boundaries shall not
be trimmed or cleared for aesthetic purposes.
. Revegetation of cut slopes external and/or adjacent to natural open space shall
be accomplished with native plant species which presently occur onsite or are
typical for the area. Suitable species include California sagebrush (Artemisia
cali/arnica), flat-top buckwheat (Eriogonumfasciculatiun ssp. fasciculatum),
black sage (Salvia melli/era), and San Diego sunflower (Viguiera laciniaJa).
If this area is hydroseeded, measures shall be taken to ensure the exclusion
of nonnative, weedy species from the mixture.
!
. Fencing shall be installed as feasible and acceptable to. the City around the
natural open space area to prevent .adverse impacts to biological resources
from domestic pets and human activity. An alternative would be the planting
of barrier plant species that would discourage pedestrian activity into open
space areas. Nonnative species would not be acceptable as barrier plantings
-15-
within open space areas. No active uses shall be planned in the open space
easements, including building structures or construction of trails through this
area.
. Landscaping around buildings shall utilize noninvasive exotic species or
preferably, native plant species found in the area. Species present onsite,
such as desert elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) and California buckwheat,
would be suitable for planting.
. The City of Chula Vista shall assure the long-tenn conservation of remaining
native habitat on site (wetlands and uplands) by dedicating these areas as part
of a natural open space easement. The City shall place an open space
easement in this acreage which would eliminate future building activity and,
in effect, set this area aside for the preservation of wildlife. Additional trails
or recreational facilities which would promote pedestrian activity in open
space areas at the expense of wildlife shall not be constructed.
Monitoring
Implementation of the above measures shall be verified by City review and approval of
the tentative and final maps, habitat enhancement plan, specific mitigation plan,
landscape plan, and construction plans and by monitoring by the City's environmental
consultant. The native grassland spring survey shall be completed by the applicant's
biological consultant prior to grading plan approval. Detailed field monitoring measures
for the construction period shall be delineated at the subdivision level and shall be
perfonned by the City's environmental consultant.
Cultural Resources
Summary of Impacts
Development of Salt Creek Ranch will directly impact 16 (If the 18 important
archaeological and historical sites within the project area. Portions of six of those sites,
and one additional site are also at risk of indirect impacts due to project development.
The site also possesses a high potential for the existence of significant paleontological
resources.
Mitigation Measures
-.-
. Mitigation of impacts for important cultural resources will be achieved
through either avoidance or by a data recovery program. Avoidance could
-16-
include capping sites with 2 feet of fill and incorporating them into the Salt
Creek Park System (Chula Vista Greenbelt).
. If avoidance of important prehistoric archaeological resources cannot be
achieved, a data recovery program to mitigate development impacts shall be
conducted, including, where necessary, surface collection and mapping of
artifacts, a phased data recovery program, and monitoring. This phased
approach shall employ a random sample in conjunction with a focused
inventory for features (Le., hearths). The data recovery program shall be in
accordance with a regional approach for all prehistoric sites within Salt Creek
Ranch, Salt Creek I and EastLake ill, thereby allowing a comprehensive
understanding for these sites. This regional understanding would also be in
agreement with the Bonita-Miguel Archaeological District within which
CA-SDi-4,530/W-643 falls.
. The data recovery shall follow the Advisory Council's guidelines as defined
within Treatment of Archaeological Properties, A Handbook (ACHP 1980).
The treatment plan shall be oriented to address local and regional research
questions and clearly identify the methods to be used to address the research
questions. Research questions to be addressed are listed in ERCE's June 1989
Salt Creek Ranch Cultural Resource Evaluation on file at the City of Chula
Vista Planning Department.
. To ensure that potentially important historic archaeological resources assumed
to be present at the eight locales listed above are not adversely affected, a
program to include monitoring of grading activities with the possibility of data
recovery is recommended. This program shall provide for excavation,
recording and collection of resources if significant features, such as privies
or trash deposits, are located during grading. This program shall include
analysis of recovered artifacts in relation to an approved research design and
a report of findings.
. Indirect impacts may occur to four historic sites located adjacent and exterior
to the project boundary (H-ll, H-15, H-16, H-I7). Fencing of project
boundaries and strict avoidance of off-site impacts in these areas shall occur.
. Prior to issuance of a mass-grading permit the developer shall present a letter
to the City of Chula Vista indicating that a qualified ~eontologist has been
retained to carry out resource mitigation. (A qualified paleontologist is
defined as an individual with an MS or PhD in paleontology or geology who
is familiar with paleontological procedures and techniques.
-17-
. A qualified paleontologist and archaeologist shall be at the pre-grade meeting
to consult with the grading and excavation contractors.
. A paleontological monitor shall be onsite at all times during the original
cutting or previously undisturbed sediments of the Otay Formation to inspect
cuts for contained fossils (the Otay Formation occurs generally above 680 feet
elevation). The Sweetwater Formation shall be monitored on a half-time
basis. Periodic inspections of cuts involving the Santiago Peak Volcanics
shall be conducted in accordance with recommendations of the qualified
paleontologist. (A paleontological monitor is dermed as an individual who has
experience in the collection and salvage of fossil materials. The
paleontological monitor should work under the direction of a qualified
paleontologist.)
. In the event that well-preserved fossils are discovered, the paleontologist (or
paleontological monitor) shall be allowed to temporarily direct, divert, or halt
grading to allow recovery of fossil remains in a timely manner. Because of
the potential for the recovering of small fossil remains such as isolated
mammal teeth, it may be necessary to set up a screen-washing operation on
the site.
. Fossil remains collected during any salvage program shall be cleaned, sorted,
and cataloged and then with the owner's permission, deposited in a scientific
institution with paleontological collections such as the San Diego Natural
History Museum.
Monitorin~
A qualified archaeologist and a qualified paleontologist shall be retained onsite to monitor
andlor perform the mitigation measures outlined above. The developer shall present a
letter to the City of Chula Vista as verification of the above prior to issuance of a
grading permit.
Transportation and Circulation
Summary of Imoacts

Mitie:ation Measures
Improvements necessary as a result of Salt Creek Ranch project implementation include:
Scenario 1 (with Phase I and Proctor Valley Road Unoaved)
. The project applicant will construct East "H" Street through the project to
ultimate four-lane major street standards, consistent with the City of Chula
Vista design criteria.
. The project applicant will construct Hunte Parkway to ultimate four-lane
major street standards through the project and offsite south to Telegraph
Canyon Road, consistent with the City of Chula Vista design criteria.
. The project applicant will construct Lane Avenue as a Class n collector from
East "H" Street to meet existing improvements at its current tenninals in the
East Lake Business Park, consistent with the City of Chula Vista's design
criteria.
. At the discretion of the City Traffic Engineer, the project applicant will install
traffic signals or bond for future installation at the following intersections:
East "H" Street/Lane Avenue
- East "H" Street/Hunte Parkway
Lane A venue/Telegraph Canyon Road
Hunte Parkway/Telegraph Canyon Road
. The project applicant will implement transportation demand management
strategies, including provisions of transit service and bus stops in order to
reduce the peak hour demand on the street network.
. Reduce the development potential of Phase 1 by 120..dwelling units. This
reduction will result in an acceptable level of serVice (LOS D) of the
intersection of East "H" Street and Hidden Vista Drive.
. The project applicant will construct a two-lane roadway between Salt Creek
1 and Salt Creek Ranch to connect East "H" Street.
Scenario 2 (with Phase 1. II. and III and State Route 125)
. The project applicant will implement all the measures described under
Scenario 1 previously.
-19-
. The project applicant will construct State Route 125 as a four-lane roadway
between East "H" Street and State Route 54 with enhanced geometries at the
intersections.
Monitorinl!:
The project's participation in the ECVTPP and the appropriate traffic mitigation, as
required by the above measures, shall be confirmed by City review of subsequent SPA
Plan and other applications. Traffic monitoring occurs on a citywide basis as dictated
by the City Traffic Engineer; it is recommended that critical intersections identified in
this EIR be monitored at least twice per year and preferably more frequently in order to
determine specific implementation schedules of required improvements and to identify
any other potential problem areas.
Noise
Summary of Impacts
Noise modeling of Salt Creek Ranch buildout conditions indicated that noise levels will
exceed 70 dBA Ldn in some portions of the project area and will exceed the 65 dBA Ldn
standard in several areas. Noise levels in excess of 65 dBA Ldn in outdoor living spaces
are considered significant and require mitigation. In addition, multifamily residences
located in an area on the project site where the future exterior noise level is expected to
exceed 60 dBA Ldn will require an interior acoustical analysis.
Mitiiation Measures
. The noise impact on the residences along East "H" Street roadway segments
shall be mitigated by the placement of a solid wall or a wall/berm
combination on the building pads at the top of the slopes adjacent to East "H"
Street. The walls must be of solid masonry construction with a material
weight of at least 3.5 pounds per square foot which wOuld not allow any air
spaces along their entire length and shall be constructed by the applicant prior
to first occupancy approval.
. Each noise wall or wall/berm combination shall be placed on the building
pads at the top of the slope between the residences and tJ:le roadway and shall
be 5 feet high. The end of each noise wall must wrap around the building
pad enough to block the line of sight from all points in the exterior living
space to any portion of the impacting roadway.
-20-
. Even with the incorporation of the above mitigation measures, exterior noise
level under bliildout conditions will continue to exceed 60 dBA Ldn on
portions of the project site. Therefore, in accordance with the standards set
by Title 24, an interior acoustical study will be required for all multi-family
units proposed for the site. The applicant shall provide the City verification
that the units comply with the Title 24 standards prior to issuance of building
permits. Possible mitigation measures to reduce interior noise levels below
the 45 dBA Ldn interior noise standard may include, but are not restricted to,
mechanical ventilation and closed window conditions.
Monitorinl!:
A qualified acoustical engineer shall conduct the noise analysis to the satisfaction of the
City of Chula Vista prior to occupancy, to ensure noise levels are within the City's
thresholds. The recommendations of these noise studies shall be incorporated into the
final project design where applicable. .
Air Quality
Summary of Impacts
Project traffic will contribute to cumulatively significant regional air quality impacts.
Because the project was not incorporated into regional growth forecasts and air quality
attainment plans, project emissions will constitute a cumulative impact contribution.
Project traffic will contribute to cumulatively significant local air quality impacts on four
street segments, projected to operate at an unacceptable level (LOS D or worse) under
future cumulative traffic conditions. Local short-term air quality impacts will resUlt from
grading activities and construction equipment.
Mitil!:ation Measures
The project will incorporate traffic flow improvements (e.g., road ~nstruction), and will
identify bicycle routes and bus stops at the SPA Plan and subsequent stages of planning.
Most intersections affected by the project would be maintained at LOS C or better,
although four street segments would operate at LOS D or worse.
The following measures shall be adhered to, subject to approval by the City, to reduce
short-term pollutant emissions: ..
. Heavy-duty construction equipment with modified combustion/fuel injection
systems for emissions control shall be utilized during grading and
construction.
-21-
. Watering or other dust palliatives shall be used to reduce fugitive dust;
emissions reductions of about 50 percent can be I'P.lIli7ed by implementation
of these measures.
. Disturbed areas shall be hydroseeded, landscaped, or developed as soon as
possible and as directed by the City to reduce dust generation.
. Trucks hauling fill material shall be properly covered.
. A 20 mile-per-hour speed limit shall be enforced on unpaved surfaces.
Monitorin~
The required activities and use of equipment shall be monitored by the City's
environmental consultant on an irregular basis. The monitor will confirm, via the
mitigation monitoring report, that appropriate equipment is used; that watering occurs;
that landscaping occurs immediately after grading completion; that trucks are covered;
and that speed limits on site are enforced. Implementation of traffic flow improvements
and bicycle routes and bus stops shall be confirmed by City review of SPA Plan and
tentative maps, subject to City approval.

Offsite Areas of Impact
Biological Resources
Summary of Impacts
Hunte Parkway. Approximately 13.8 acres of habitat would be impacted. Additional
impacts from the construction corridor would total 19.7 acres. Because a detailed
alignment has not yet been determined, any proposed impacts to disturbed wetlands
would be considered significant. The exact amount of impact to =u;h habitat is unknown
at this time.
-28-
East "H" Street. The construction of this roadway would result in the loss of
approximately 5.0 acres of high quality coastal sage scrub and is considered significant.
Additional impacts from the construction corridor would total 6.0 acres of coastal sage
scrub. Potential impacts to coast barrel cactus and California gnatcatcher are considered
significant.
Reservoir/Waterline. Construction of the re~rvoir and waterline would significantly
impact 30.7 acres of burned coastal sage scrub. This includes 7.1 acres for the 515Q-foot
long access road and 23.6 acres within the construction corridor. The access road would
result in significant impacts to Cleaveland's golden star.
Miti~ation Measures
Hunte Parkway
. To mitigate potential impacts to disturbed wetlands to below the level of
significance, enhancement of riparian habitat at a 1:1 ratio to any impacted
wetlands shall be implemented. This mitigation acreage shall be added to the
mitigation acreage for the Salt Creek Ranch development and incorporated
into the habitat enhancement plan (RECON 1991). Prior to construction, a
1603 Streambed Alteration Agreement must be obtained from the California
Department of Fish and Game.
East "H" Street
. To mitigate the loss of 11.0 acres of coastal sage scrub and impacts to
California gnatcatcher to below the level of significance, a strategy of
avoidance and habitat enhancement shall be implemented. To avoid impacting
the full 11 acres, the construction corridor could be restricted down from 100
feet on each side of the roadway to a smaller area. The avoidance should
reduce impacts to the gnatcatcher territory to below 6:2 acres. This would
retain the territory and reduce the impact to the gnatcatcher to a level of
non-significance. All remaining impacts would require enhancement of
coastal sage scrub at a ratio of 1: 1. The mitigation site shall be at a nearby
location and connected to a larger area of planned open space. The mitigation
acreage shall be added to the mitigation acreage for the Salt Creek Ranch
development and incorporated into the habitat enhancement plan (RECON
1991).
. To mitigate impacts to coast barrel cactus to below the level of significance,
a strategy of avoidance and preservation shall be implemented. To avoid
impacts to as many individuals as possible, the construction corridor could be
-29-
restricted. The remaining individuals that would be impacted should be
preserved via transplantation into open space. A detailed preservation plan
should be designed by a qualified biologist/horticulturist, who would assist in
site selection, implement a 5-year monitoring plan, and submit regularly
scheduled reports to the City of Chula Vista.
. To mitigate impacts to Otay tarplant to below the level of significance,
avoidance of the population to greatest extent feasible shall occur. The
alignment of the roadway shall avoid the northernmost portion of the site and
the construction corridor shall be restricted in this area.
Reservoir/Waterline
. To mitigate the loss of 30.7 acres of burned coastal sage scrub to below the
level of significance, a combination of avoidance and habitat enhancement
shall be implemented. To avoid impacts. to the full 30.7 acres, the
construction corridor shall be restricted. All remaining impacts would require
habitat enhancement of nearby burned coastal sage scrub at a ratio of 1: 1.
This mitigation acreage shall be added to the mitigation acreage for the Salt
Creek Ranch development and incorporated into the habitat enhancement plan
(RECON 1991).
. To mitigate impacts to San Diego golden star to below the level of
significance, avoidance of the population to the greatest degree feasible shall
be implemented. The alignment shall remain in the currently proposed
position and the construction corridor shall be restricted in the area where the
population occurs.
Monitorine
A qualified biologist/environmental specialist shall be retained to oversee the construction
of East "H" Street, Hunte Parkway and the Reservoir/Water~e and monitor the
implementation of the above measures. -
Landform! Aesthetics
Summary of Imoacts
,
The pad elevation of the reservoir would be located at an elevation higher than the Salt
Creek Ranch project site, resulting in a potentially significant visual impact to
surrounding residen 15.
-30-
Miti~ation Measures
. The water tank shall be painted an unobtrusive color to ensure that it blends
in with the natural environment as much as possible. The area surrounding
the water tank shall be landscaped to shield views of the tank to the
satisfaction of the City of Chula Vista's landscape architect.
Monitorin~
The City of Chula Vista Design Review Committee will review and approve the water
reservoir construction and landscape plan prior to Final Map approval.
Cultural Resources
Summary of Impacts
Hunte Parkway. Construction of both the proposed interceptor will significantly impact
site CA-SDi-12,038 which has been tested and determined to be important pursuant to
CEQA criteria.
East "H" Street. Construction of the lO-inch pipeline and proposed East "H" Street
segment will significantly impact site CA-SDi-4,530/W-643 which has been tested and
determined to be important pursuant to CEQA criteria.
Reservoir/Waterline. Trenching and grading activities necessary for construction of the
reservoir and installation of the waterline would significantly impact sites CA-SDi-ll,403
Locus F, CA-SDi-ll,4l5, CA-SDi-12,032, CA-SDi-12,034, and CA-SDi-l2,035.
Cultural resource sites CA-SDi-12,260, CA-SDi-12,26l, and CA-SDi-ll,403 Locus G,
also located on this site, were not yet tested or evaluated.
Mitigation Measures
. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) -require mitigation of
impacts to important cultural resources. Sites CA-SDi-ll,403 Locus F,
CA-SDI-ll,4l5, CA-SDi-12,03l, CA-SDi-12,032, CA-SDi-l2,034, and
CA-SDi-12,035 within the water reservoir/water line parcel and
CA-SDi-12,038 within the Hunte Parkway parcel were determined to qualify
as important cultural resources by testing pursuant to CEQA, and mitigation
of impacts to these cultural resources is required. Site CA-SDi-4,5301W-643
within the "H" Street parcel has been previously tested and determined
important under CEQA, and mitigation meaSures are necessary to address
impacts to that site. Site CA-SDi-4,5301W-643 also falls within the
-31-
Bonita-Miguel Archaeological District which requires evaluation under federal
criteria.
. Evaluation for determination of importance under CEQA through a cultural
resource testing program is necessary at cultural resource sites
CA-SDi-12,260, CA-SDi-12,261 and CA-SDi-ll,403 Locus G.
. Mitigation of impacts to important cultural resources can be achieved through
either avoidance or by conducting a data recovery program. Avoidance could
include capping sites with 2 feet of fill or redesign of project components.
. If avoidance of archaeological resources cannot be achieved, a data recovery
program to mitigate development impacts to important cultural resource sites
shall be conducted, including, where necessary, surface collection and
mapping of artifacts, a phased data recovery program, and monitoring during
facility or other construction. This phased approach shall employ a random
sample in conjunction with a focused inventory for features (e.g., hearths).
The data recovery program shall be in accordance with a regional approach
for all prehistoric sites within Salt Creek Ranch, Salt Creek I and
EastLake III, thereby allowing a comprehensive understanding for these sites.
This regional program is in agreement with the Bonita-Miguel Archaeological
District.
. The data recovery program shall follow the Advisory Council's guidelines as
defined within Treatment of Archaeological Properties, A Handbook (ACHP
1980). The treatment plan shall be oriented to address local and regional
research questions and clearly identify the methods to be used to address the
research questions. Research questions to be should be addressed are
provided in ERCE's June 1989 Salt Creek Ranch Cultural Resource
Evaluation, on file at the City of Chula Vista Planning Department.
Monitoring
A qualified archaeologist shall be retained to monitor the implementation of the above
measures.

EXHIBIT E
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDJ<;RATIONS
BACKGROUND
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines
provide:
"( a) CEQA requires the decision-maker to balance the benefits of a proposed
project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to
approve the project. If the benefits of a proposed project outweigh the
unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects
may be considered 'acceptable.' .
(b) Where the decision of the public agency allows the occurrence of
significant effects which are identified in the final EIR but are not at least
substantially mitigated, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to
support its action based on the final EIR and/or other information in the
record. This statement may be necessary if the agency also makes a finding
under Section 15091(a)(2) or (a)(3).
(c) If an agency makes a statement of overriding considerations, the
statement should be included in the record of the project approval and should
be mentioned in the Notice of Determination." (Guidelines 515093).
THE STATEMENT
The City finds that the mitigation measures discussed in the CEQA Findings, when
implemented, avoid or substantial lessen most of the significant effects identified in Final
Supplemental EIR 91-03 for the Salt Creek Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan.
Nonetheless, certain significant effects of the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan are unavoidable
even after incorporation of all feasible mitigation measures. These unavoidable effects are
described in Section III of the CEQA Findings. In approving this project, the City has
balanced the benefits of the Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan against these unavoidable
environmental effects. In this regard, the City finds that all feasible mitigation measures
identified in the C13QA Findings, have been or will be implewcmle:u with the: pruje:l.:t, IlnU
any remaining significant unavoidable effects are acceptable due to the following specific
planning, social, economic and other considerations, all of which are based upon the facts
set forth below, the CEQA Findings, Final Supplemental EIR 91-03, and the record of the
proceedings for this project:
1. Salt Creek Ranch, a planned residential community in the City of Chula Vista's
Eastern Territories, is consistent with the demand for housing in Chula Vista. The
project is a well-balanced residential community that will provide local residents of
1

"
.
'-
,
Chula Vista and residents in the region the choice of diverse housing types in
accordance with the following policies contained within the City's General Plan
Update:
. Encourage the development of a diversity of housing types and prices.
. Assure that new development meets or exceeds a standard of bigh-quality
planning and design,
. Provide for the development of multi-family housing in appropriate areas
convenient to public services, facilities and circulation.
. Encourage planned developments, with a coordinated mix of urban uses, open
space and amenities.
. For new developments in Eastern Territories, the predominant character
should be low medium density, single-family housing. Where appropriate in
terms of physical setting encourage development of quality, large-lot housing.
The Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan (Alternative 5.3, Final SPA Plan Design Alternative)
addresses each of these General Plan policies. The residential planned community
provides a broad variety of housing types, ranging from multi-family attached units
to large estate lots consisting of at least one acre, Multi-family housing is provided
in accordance with the Chula Vista General Plan, which previously took into account
the location of multi-family housing in areas convenient to public services, facilities
and roadway circulation. Salt Creek Ranch is uniquely situated between the
urbanized areas of Chula Vista to the west and south and the undeveloped area to
the east. The project is an entirely residential community which will provide residents
of Chula Vista with upper-end housing products which are currently limited in the
South Bay area. The Salt Creek Ranch SPA Plan will also provide important
transitions from the higher density developments adjacent to future SR-l25 to the
lower density estates in the eastern portion of the project. Development within Salt
Creek Ranch will transition from the R-M and R-LM categories in the western
portion of the property to the low density R-L category in the eastern and northern
portions of the property site.
2 The project provides logical community land uses, enhances opportunities for the
long-term productivity of the community of Chula Vista and the surrounding region,
and maintains and conserves valuable resources, all of which are consistent with the
City's long-term planning goals. The mix of single and multi-family uses in close
proximity to proposed commercial and industrial uses will provide opportunities for
persons to reside in areas adjacent to employment facilities and, thus, will help to
relieve typical employment community impacts, such as traffic, noise and air quality
effects.

3.
With adoption of Alternative 5.3 (Final SPA Plan Design Alternative), the project will
result in construction of a number of roads which are integral parts of the City's
General Plan Circulation Element. For example, roadway improvements will involve
construction of portions of East H Street, Hunte Parkway and Lane Avenue to
ultimate standards through the project. The project will also contnbute to off-site
roadway improvements on a fair share basis with other area developers by
participation in the Eastern Chula Vista Transportation Phasing Plan (ECVTPP).
Significant landscaping buffer areas will be provided along major roads in accordance
with the City's Circulation Element. The project will incorporate pedestrian and
bicycle pathways and equestrian paths or trails within transportation corridors as
recommended by the City's Circulation Element.
4. The project reserves approximately 351 acres of natural open space constituting
approximately 29% of the project site. Implementation of the project will provide
for the long-term preservation of the sensitive biological resources located in the
natural open space areas and provide for wildlife corridor links in those areas. The
natural open space incorporated into the approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP has
wildlife corridors that arc, on average, approximately 600 feet wide; the narrowest
sections are greater than 200 feet wide, except in planning area lOb. The project
applicant has also agreed to the following additional mitigation measure:
. The developer shall agree to participate in a regional or sub-regional multi-
species coastal sage scrub conservation plan. If, prior to approval for the
grading plan for areas lOa, lOb and 11 (which are identified as the three
easternmost "L" areas on Figure R-1 of the Final EIR), an off-site regional
wildlife corridor linking San Miguel Mountain with the Upper Otay Reservoir
has not been approved by the City as part of the conservation plan, then
development of the 17 acre R-L development area in the eastern portion of
the property shall not occur and a reconfiguration of the northeastern R-L
area (as shown on Figure R-l of the Final ElR) to provide a wider open
space area for a regional wildlife corridor shall be implemented The width
of the open space area shall be sufficient to ensure long-term viability of the
wildlife corridor (as shown on Figure R-1). This condition shall also be
applied to conditions of the Tentative Subdivision Map.
S. The project 'substantially mitigates adverse effects to coastal sage scrub habitat
through preservation of on-site coastal sage scrub in excess of the preservation
anticipated in the Chula Vista General Plan. Specifically, the General Plan
anticipated preservation of approximately 158 acres of the existing coastal sage scrub
habitat on the Salt Creek Ranch property. The approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP
preserves approximately 50 acres of additional coastal sage scrub over and above the
acreage anticipated to be preserved in the General Plan. Coastal sage scrub habitat
is left intact in sufficiently large blocks to accommodate most of the California
gnatcatcher known to exist onsite. In addition, the project applicant has agreed to
3
~

i
,/
revegetate approximately 30 acres of disturbed habitat within the proposed biological
open space area with coastal sage scrub to partially mitigate the cumulative loss of
coastal sage scrub habitat This revegetation will have the benefit of providing
additional potential California gnatcatch~r habitat In addition, Alternative 5.3 (Final
SPA Plan Design Alternative) will not create any new significant impacts to the
California gnatcatcher as compared to the approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP.
Although coastal sage scrub will be slightly more impacted overall (1.5 acres), a 2.7
acre patch of sage scrub will be placed in natural open space. This patch contains
a large cactus thicket and a cactus wren, which would have been impacted under the
approved Salt Creek Ranch GDP.
6. The General Plan Update caI1s for creation of a continuous, 28-mDe Greenbelt
around the Oty of Chula Vista The Greenbelt provides a unique opportunity to
develop a significant network of open space, trails, and recreational activities for the .
citizens of Chula Vista and residents in the surrounding region. In essence, the
Greenbelt represents a continuous open space area which visually and functionally
links all the communities and the principal parks and recreational resources of the
City including active recreational facilities, natural open space, wildlife habitats and
a connecting trail system. This continuous system begins at the Chula Vista Bayfront,
extends through Otay River Valley to the Otay Lakes, north through the Otay Lakes
area and along Salt Creek to Mother Miguel Mountain and Sweetwater Reservoir
and west along the Sweetwater Regional Park to the Bayfront. The Salt Creek
Ranch project supplies an important link in the Greenbelt called for in the General
Plan Update. By adoption of Alternative 5.3 (Final SPA Plan Design Alternative)
for Salt Creek Ranch, the City further implements its Greenbelt in the following
ways:
. The 20-acre neighborhood park will be adjacent to Salt Creek which links the
park to the City's Greenbelt, all of which is consistent with the Oty's General
Plan.
. The 20-acre neighborhood park is the preferred location of the City's Parks
and Recreation Department because it is more centrally located to serve the
residents of Salt Creek Ranch and Salt Creek I, as well as the citizens of the
City of Chula Vista and the surrounding region.
. The 2O-acre neighborhood park adjacent to Salt Creek allows preservation of
an existing stand of Eucalyptus trees which provides an immediate "grove"
effect for the community park.
. The 2O-acre neighborhood park maintains the natural open space link in the
southeast corner of the project site and, thus, allows for the preservation of
sensitive coastal sage scrub and wetland habitats. The sage scrub is habitat ',-

for species (\nsite, including the grasshopper sparrow, the California
gnatcatcher and the nesting sites of the cactus wren.
The project will result in a comprehensive planned community providing a logical
extension of City services, including public transportation, law enforcement, fire
protection and public utilities.
The project advances the City's environmental goals by encouraging water
conservation and reclamation programs, mass transit facilities and an extensive trail
system.
7.
9.
The project also contains a number of other additional overriding public benefits,
such as:
. Incorporation of two school sites into the design of the project (20 acres).
. Incorporation of two church sites into the design of the project (7 acres).
. Incorporation of a fire station site into the design of the project (1 acre).
. A standby commitment to participate in a funding program to finance a new
library facility.
. Commitment to participate in a regional or sub-regional multi-species coastal
sage scrub conservation plan. If, prior to approval of the grading plan for
areas lOa, lOb and 11 (which are identified as the three easternmost "L" areas
on Figure R-1 of the Final EIR), an off-site regional wildlife corridor linking
San Miguel Mountain with the Upper Otay Reservoir has not been approved
by the City as part of the conservation plan, then development of the 17 acre
R-L development area in the eastern portion of the property shall not occur
and a reconfiguration of the northeastern R-L area (as shown on Figure R-1
of the Final ErR) to provide a wider open space area for a regional wildlife
corridor shall be implemented. The width of the open space area shall be
sufficient to ensure long-term viability of the wildlife corridor (as shown on
Figure R-1). This condition shall also be applied to conditions of the
Tentative Subdivision Map.
. A focal point of the open space system is the Salt Creek Corridor, designated
in the Chula Vista General Plan as a major portion of the ChuIa Vista
Greenbelt, a 28-mile open space and park system within the City. Salt Creek
will form a major open space corridor within the project and will be
extensively landscaped. A park system, consisting of a 2().acre neighborhood
park along the Salt Creek Corridor and a 7-acre neighborhood park in the
western portion of the project, will provide recreational activities along the

City's Greenbelt. The Salt Creek open space corridor will connect to the
Eastlake open space corridor within Salt Creek to the south and will provide
a significant passive open space amenity for the entire Eastern Territories. An
extensive undeveloped open space system in the eastern portion of the
property will provide connections from Upper Otay Lake to the San Miguel
Mountains to the north. This open space system will connect to the portion
of the Chula Vista Greenbelt planned around Otay Lakes. Open space
greenbelt, parkway and bikeway systems throughout Salt Creek Ranch, and an
equestrian trail system, will be linked to the enhanced Salt Creek, the eastern
undeveloped open space areas, the park along the Salt Creek corridor and the
City's Greenbelt.
. The landscaping for Salt Creek Ranch will establish the community character
east of future SR-l25 and is envisioned as a more native, naturalized plant
type than in the development areas west of the SR.l25 corridor; drought-
tolerant plant materials will be emphasized.
For these reasons, on balance, the City finds that there are planning, social, economic and
other considerations resulting from this project that serve to override and outweigh the
project's ~navoidable significant environmental effects and, thus, the adverse environmental
effects are considered acceptable. .

Re: PCM-91-04: BALDWIN COMPANY APPLICATION
FOR SALT CREEK RANCH SPA PLAN, PUBLIC FACILITIES
FINANCING PLAN, PLANNED COMMUNITY DISTRICT
REGULATIONS, AND FINAL EIR-91-03
CITY COUNCIL HEARING DATE: MARCH 24. 1992
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
At your March 24 Council meeting, you will be asked by the
Baldwin Company to approve the Salt Creek Ranch Project
referenced above. I am writing you as attorney for Senator and
Mrs. Wadie P. Deddeh, the owners of four parcels of land,
assessor parcel numbers 585-091-13, 585-140-11, 585-140-17, and
585-150-09, located immediately north of Salt Creek Ranch, and
formerly known to you as the pyramids properties. As discussed
below, I am writing to urge you to withhold approval of this
project and its accompanying EIR until the Baldwin Company has
established to your satisfaction that adequate and
environmentally sound access has been provided to my clients'
parcels and those of other property owners similarly situated.
While the Baldwin Company has nominally indicated an access
route, neither Baldwin, its consultants, nor the City of Chula
vista have adequately evaluated the environmental impacts of the
proposed route, and we believe that the proposed route will be
environmentally devastating and financially infeasible,
effectively landlocking my clients' parcels, and depriving them
of all economic value. If approval to the Salt Creek Ranch is
granted without resolving this issue, my clients will be forced
to challenge these approvals in court, resulting in delays,
uncertainty, and substantial costs to all involved.
Mayor Tim Nader
March 23, 1992
Page 2
Historically, the City of Chula Vista and the Baldwin
Company have repeatedly acknowledged both the obligation and the
intention to provide adequate access to my clients' properties,
and to those similarly situated. By letter dated June 26, 1990
(Exhibit A attached hereto), the City of Chula Vista assured the
previous owners of the property that they were aware of the need
for access, and were making every effort to avoid creating a
landlocked parcel condition. Likewise, by letter dated June 27,
1990, (Exhibit B attached hereto), the Baldwin Company assured my
clients' predecessors that it was their intent to provide access
to the properties adjacent to Salt Creek Ranch, and further
indicated that precise locations of the access would be
determined at subsequent approval stages. Based on these
assurances, no challenge was addressed to the approval of EIR-
89-3. The owners of the property felt secure in knowing that the
City of Chula Vista would protect them.
My clients only learned in recent months, that the access
proposed by Baldwin does not provide adequate access to their
properties, and threatens to hamper or make impossible altogether
the development of those parcels. The Baldwin plan proposes a
single access for all properties to the north located in the
eastern 1/3 of their north property line. While this adequately
serves parcel no. 585-091-13, it is totally unsuitable for the
other three Deddeh parcels, and for properties owned by others to
the west of the proposed access. Baldwin's plan fails to
consider the environmental problems created by the westerly
access. The access proposed would cross a major drainage course
(noted on U.S. Geological Survey Maps-IOO year Q greater than
1400 cubic feet per second), and a wetland area. In addition,
Alba Engineering, Inc. has pointed out to my client that there
are topographic problems with a road running east to west along
the common property line between the Deddeh property and Salt
Creek Ranch, in that the property line is approximately 450 feet
long with a 135 foot difference in elevation. Additionally, part
of the land over which the access to the west is planned has been
designated as "open space" required by the City of Chula Vista
for approval of the Salt Creek plan. Additionally, litigation is
now pending to enforce a prescriptive easement claim which my
clients claim, running directly south from their westerly
properties. Approval of the Salt Creek Plan prior to resolution
of this issue, will prejudice the pending litigation.
Both the original and supplemental EIR-9l-03 are inadequate
in addressing the environmental impacts of the proposed access to
my clients' property. In the supplemental EIR, City staff
281011/1Jo
Mayor Tim Nader
March 23, 1992
Page 3
suggests that no alternative access is feasible but bases this
conclusion on the prior approval of EIR-9l-03 in 1990, and fails
to provide any indication that the environmental impacts of the
proposed, as opposed to alternative, access has ever been
studied. Since the proposed access is an integral part of the
plan before your Council, I fail to see how the plan can be
approved without detailed studies on the proposed route. If such
studies were done, we believe they would confirm that this route
is environmentally unsound and infeasible.
For these reasons, I respectfully request that your council
delay approval of the Salt Creek Ranch Project and direct your
staff and the Baldwin Company to work with my client to resolve
the access and environmental issues. Once that is done, we can
enthusiastically support the project.
very truly yours,

Ranch
Dear Mr. Ghattas:
As you know, the City of Chula Vista is processing the l,200-acre Salt Creek
Ranch General Development Plan proposal submitted by the Baldwin Company. The
project is located north and south of Proctor Valley Road, is currently under
the jurisdiction of the County of San Diego pending annexation to the City of
Chula Vista and currently provides easements for access to your property and
others immediately north and east of the project site. Guaranteed continuous
access to property immediately north and east of the proj ect is a concern of
the City of Chula Vista. The City is making every effort in its negotiations
with the Baldwin Company to assure continued access to adjacent parcels of land
so as not to create a land-lock parcel condition. Realizing that some type of
development likely could occur on portions of property in the area north and/or
east of Salt Creek Ranch, the City not only wishes to maintain legal access but
wishes aiso not to create a condition that would constrain appropriate size
access for future potential development.
To reiterate, the City of Chula Vista is, and will continue to make every
effort to maintain access to those parcels of land that currently obtain sole
legal access across the Salt Creek Ranch property from Proctor Valley Road.

Participation in Regional Children's Summits
FROM:
RE:
In an unprecedented effort, the League of California Cities, the California State Association of
Counties and the California School Boards Association, have joined together in a collaborative
effort to help shape the future of California's children.
,-,.
Twelve regional Children's Summits are being helfl throughout California as a first step in a joint
effort by local governments to better coordinate youth services. The program will bring together
local community leaders who will look at obstacles in providing se1'\'ices to children, and identify
, model propms already in place in sorno communities that can be replicated thro~&hout the state.
This effort on behalf of children ties into the state and national agenda on education. Recently, a
delegation of mayors met with President Bush to discuss the role of the family and to talk about
Iddsj and Govol"n"r Pete Wilson has recently created an Interagency Council on Child
Development and has focused his administration on "Preventative Government."
The goals of the summits are to improve coordination of local services to children and youth and
to build a framework for developing a comprehensive policy on youth at the state and local levels.
From these summits, a report will be prepared and presented to the Governor and the Legislature.
In addition, subsequent meetings will be held at the Mayors and Council Members Executive
Forum and at the Annual Conference.
Invitations have been or are currently being mailed out. We are a~kinll that eaeh city IIelect one
elected omelal to atttmd. Staff is also welcome to participate. Plan to attend!! It's vital to
California's children that cities are adequately represented in this important effort. For more
information, call the League at 916/444-5790.

RESOLUTION NO. 16556 (A)
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA URGING SUPPORT FOR THE DESIGNATION
OF WARD VALLEY AS THE DISPOSAL SITE FOR LOW-
LEVEL HAZARDOUS WASTE WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ENCOURAGING OTHER JURISDICTIONS
TO SUPPORT SAME.
WHEREAS, mildly radioactive materials are now used in
roughly 5,000 diagnostic imagining exams in San Diego each year as
well as in 50,000 therapeutic procedures and in hundreds of
thousands of other lab tests; and,
WHEREAS, the safe disposal of such low level radioactive
waste is a major concern to both industry and government; and,
WHEREAS, biomedical and biotechnical industries that use
low level radioactive materials are critical to California's
economic, institutional and scientific livelihood; and,
WHEREAS, under the 1980 Federal Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Policy Act, and the Federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (P.L. 990240), each state was
required to identify, construct, and place in operation a low-level
hazardous waste disposal facility by January 1, 1993; and,
WHEREAS, in 1983, the California Legislature, responding
to the requirements of said Federal mandate, enacted a statute
mandating the development of a disposal facility for low-level
radioactive waste; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article IV of the Southwestern
Compact Consent Act (P.L. 100-712), should California fail to open
a disposal facility by January 1, 1993, the state will be in
default of its statutory obligations permitting public and private
organizations that generate low-level waste in the four Compact
states to prosecute a claim against the State of California for
whatever financial burdens they might have to bear due to lack of
disposal capacity as a result of state's default on its statutory
obligation; and,
WHEREAS, said deadline is now less than eleven months
away; and,
WHEREAS, unless California licenses and permits the
operation of a new disposal facility for low level radioactive
waste by January 1, 1993, hundreds of public and private
organizations in california, Arizona, North Dakota and South Dakota
that use radioactive materials and produce low-level waste will
have no place to safety and legally dispose of these wastes and as
March 20, 1992
Page 1
\~o.-\
a result will face significant financial loss, not to mention the
isolated storage and the prospect of illegal dumping of said waste;
and
WHEREAS, such a licensed facility will insure
California I s leading insti tutions can continue to provide the
benefits to the society from biomedical and biotechnical research,
testing and treatment; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of such facility will protect

RESOLUTION NO. 16556 (B)
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA URGING SUPPORT FOR THE GOVERNOR'S
IDENTIFICATION OF A DISPOSAL SITE FOR LOW-
LEVEL HAZARDOUS WASTE WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ENCOURAGING OTHER JURISDICTIONS
TO SUPPORT SAME.
WHEREAS, mildly radioactive materials are now used in
roughly 5,000 diagnostic imagining exams in San Diego each year as
well as in 50,000 therapeutic procedures and in hundreds of
thousands of other lab tests; and,
WHEREAS, the safe disposal of such low level radioactive
waste is a major concern to both industry and government; and,
WHEREAS, biomedical and biotechnical industries that use
low level radioactive materials are critical to California's
economic, institutional and scientific livelihood; and,
WHEREAS, under the 1980 Federal Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Policy Act, and the Federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (P.L. 990240), each state was
required to identify, construct, and place in operation a low-level
hazardous waste disposal facility by January 1, 1993; and,
WHEREAS, in 1983, the California Legislature, responding
to the requirements of said Federal mandate, enacted a statute
mandating the development of a disposal facility for low-level
radioactive waste; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article IV of the Southwestern
Compact Consent Act (P.L. 100-712), should California fail to open
a disposal facility by January 1, 1993, the state will be in
default of its statutory obligations permitting public and private
organizations that generate low-level waste in the four Compact
states to prosecute a claim against the State of California for
whatever financial burdens they might have to bear due to lack of
disposal capacity as a result of state's default on its statutory
obligation; and,
WHEREAS, said deadline is now less than eleven months
away; and,
WHEREAS, unless California licenses and permits the
operation of a new disposal facility for low level radioactive
waste by January 1, 1993, hundreds of public and private
organizations in California, Arizona, North Dakota and South Dakota
that use radioactive materials and produce low-level waste will

have no place to safety and legally dispose of these wastes and as
a result will face significant financial loss, not to mention the
isolated storage and the prospect of illegal dumping of said waste;
and
WHEREAS, such a licensed facility will insure
California I s leading institutions can continue to provide the
benefits to the society from biomedical and biotechnical research,
testing and treatment; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of such facility will protect
against the risk of on site storage of such waste; and,
WHEREAS, such a facility will protect our environment by
maximizing the state's ability to police and control such wastes;
and,
WHEREAS, all jurisdictions in the County of San Diego
should present a united front on this issue to the Governor of
California to demonstrate to the biomedical and biotechnical
industries that the County of San Diego supports and values their
contribution to the economic, scientific and research community of
the County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city Council of

Susan A. Herney
Application Attachment
Interjurisdictional Task Force
A) A balanced approach to community development. Although a native Chula Vistan, I
lived 20 years in several other states and communities -- some in "boom" status.
some in severe economic depression. I have worked in both the private and public
sectors, and understand the relationships between government, business, and
community life. The attached personal data summary sheet describes my extensive
experience as a community leader and civic volunteer.
B) I would hope to use my considerable community experience, organizational skills
and training to help analyze options for Chula Vista's future. Having served as a
citizen-volunteer on the Otay Ranch project since its inception, I have accumulated
the knowledge and background to help make sound recommendations for this
region's economic, educational and environmental future. I would serve with
enthusiasm and energy as a representative of the citizenry at large on the IJTF.

To: City Council Meeting of March 24, 1992
From: Joan Wisser, 834 Lori Lane, Chula Vista, CA 91910 (421-3541)
Subject: Proposed Chanages to Chula Vista Bus Routes for 1992-1993
~&~~\ovU-~o~b",
Recommend Route 703 not have hours reduced in early morning and late evening.
If the "out-of-direction" spur to Chula Vista Community Hospital is removed
then suggest that Route 704 be extended to the hospital via East Naples since
703 would intersect it. This would eliminate the added expense of a new
Route 712 EXPRESS ONLY which would not service a sufficient area of our city
to warrant it. Neither Routes 703 or 704 operate on Sunday.
NOTE: Only three busses run on Sunday: 701, 702, and 705.
With the recommended shrinkage of hours on Route 703 we are locking bus riders
into working times only and none for shopping, education, pleasure, religious,
or volunteer activities which make life enjoyable.
NOTE:
No service on any routes on: Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas,
New Year's Day, Memorial Day and
July 4th.
How do people who work afternoon and/or evening hours get to and from work?
Looking down the road to September when Eastlake High School is opened. and state
mandated ethnic balance be achieved via school bussing and charging a $1.00 to
ride will effectively turn "H" Street into a very crowded bus corridor and create
chaos and traffic jams of major proportion. Once accident could very effectively
shut down this major thoroughfare.
SUMMARY: Bus ridership is not a viable option but a necessity of life to a large
segment of the population: Youth, elders, handicapped, religion,
volunteers, low income, etc.
NOTE: Have still not received any information from the Department of Public Works
as directed by the Honorable Mayor in the March 17, 1992 Council Meeting.
AS DR. SEUSS SAID, "YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE."

NOTE: Telephone call made Friday, February 28, 1992 to City Hall and it was
deferred to Chula Vista Transit and specifically Bill Gustafon. Bill
requested a letter and this was accomplished February 29, 1992. No
reply as of this date.
