BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing to introduce commercial retail uses within the existing
EastLake Design District in order to complement the existing furniture and home
decorating businesses presently in the District. The additional commercial uses are
intended to bring more foot traffic to the District, improving its mercantile posture and
potential for success. The applicant is also proposing certain modifications to the
property development standards to accommodate up to five story buildings, special
parking ratios and professional and medical office uses, including medical clinics.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has conducted
an Initial Study, IS-07-015 in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act.
Based upon the results of the Initial Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
determined that the project could result in significant effects on the environment.
However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by the applicant would avoid the
effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur;
therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated Negative
Declaration, IS-07 -015.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution and Ordinance for GPA-07-05 and PCM 07-04 based upon the
findings and subj ect to the conditions contained therein.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On November 28,2007, the Planning Commission voted (5-0-1-1) (Vinson abstaining,
Moctezuma absent) to recommend that the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program IS 07-015 and adopt the
Ordinance and Resolution approving the Project.
On November 5, 2007, the Resource Conservation Commission (RCC) discussed the
adequacy of the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for EastLake Business Center
(IS-07-015). Following a presentation by the applicant and commission deliberation,
the RCC voted (6-0-1-0) (Mosolgo abstaining) to find that the Initial Study was adequate
and recommended that the City Council adopt the same.

DISCUSSION
Background:
The Eastlake Business Center SPA was established in 1985. In November 1999, the
EastLake Business Center II SPA was created to allow a 108-acre expansion of the
original Business Center. The SPA was approved in order to complete the anticipated
employment/industrial development within the EastLake Planned Community. In April
2005, an amendment to the SPA document was approved to allow approximately 35 acres
near the eastern edge of the Business Center to be developed as a home
improvement/design center. To date, Phase I of the EastLake Design District, consisting
of approximately 234,000 square feet of building, has been constructed on approximately
16.7 acres. Phase II consists of approximately 17.7 acres and is located just west and
north of the existing Design District (see Locator Map). This area is part of the total
approximately 35 acres currently regulated by the Design District Overlay established in
2005.
A neighborhood meeting took place on September 12, 2007 to introduce the Applicant's
development and rezoning proposal. Approximately 40 residents and business owners
attended the meeting and commented on the project. Most of the concerns expressed at
the meeting were related to the proposed increase in building height and massing.
However, the applicant was commended for the quality of the proposed development and
the recently completed EastLake Design Center.
Project Site Characteristics:
The 44-acre project site encompasses the easternmost portion of the existing EastLake
Business Center. The site is bounded by Otay Lakes Road to the south, existing EastLake
Business Center to the west, Rolling Hill Ranch residential development to the north and
EastLake Woods West to the east of the site (see Locator Map). Due to the size, location and
configuration, the overall project site has been divided into three areas: Area A consists of
16.7 acres located at the northeast comer of Fenton Street and Showroom Place. The site
contains the existing EastLake Design District. Area B consists of 17.7 acres at the northwest
comer of Fenton Street and Showroom Place. The site is consists of vacant leveled building
pads. Area C, located south of the intersection of Fen ton Street and Harold Place, consists of
9.6 acres and is also a building pad (see Locator).

commercial land use and the reduction of industrial land use designation by
the same amount (see Attachment 6, WCP tab)
Analysis:
Land Use
The existing land uses presently found in the Design District (Area A) consist primarily
of furniture stores and wholesale/retail distribution and showroom businesses related to
home improvement merchandise. These existing land uses are not typically
representative of light industrial land uses such as warehousing and light manufacturing.
However, a previous amendment to the EastLake Business Center II SPA (approved in
2005) allowed the introduction of specialty retail land uses under an overlay zone known
6-6
Page 7, Item~
Meeting Date: 12/18/07
as Design District Overlay zone (see Attachment 8, PC District Regs, section IV.2). To
date, Area A was designed and operated in a semi-industrial manner, but has not been as
successful as originally expected. The applicant believes, and staff concurs, that
additional commercial activity such as restaurants, bars and specialty stores related to
home improvement could improve the commercial activity in the center, and therefore
position it as a more successful component of the EastLake Master Plan Community.
The conversion of 16.7 acres from Industrial to Commercial represents 7.4 percent of
industrial land within the EastLake Planned Community. Further analysis shows that the
16.7 acres represents less than 1.3% of the industrial lands in eastern Chula Vista and less
than 1 % of the overall industrial lands within the City. Therefore, the percentage of
industrially designated land being lost is fairly small in comparison to the total amount of
industrial land available in the City.
The establishment of the EastLake Design District Overlay Zone introduced land uses
oriented more towards commercial retail, which is consistent with the current request to
change the existing General Plan land use designation from Light Industrial to
Commercial Retail. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed Commercial Retail land use
designation would reflect more accurately the existing commercial pattern. The proposed
amendment therefore, brings consistency between the General Plan and the EastLake II
Business Center GDP and SPA.
EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations Amendments:
The EastLake Planned Community (PC) District Regulations function as the zoning
regulations for the EastLake Business Center. The PC District Regulations provide
standards and regulations to guide the development of the project. These regulations are
applied in conjunction with the Design Guidelines for the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental SPA.
The PC District Regulations were previously amended in 2005. The Design District
Overlay regulates and supercedes the land uses allowed by the underlying SPA land use
district.
The SPA amendment established Section IV.2 and IV-3, Design District Overlay
Designation, to introduce specific land uses and developmental and operational
parameters to change the Design District.
Land Use
Area A
The project proposes an amendment that would change the existing BC-l (with design
district overlay) to a new land use district category of Village Center 5 (VC-5) District.
Area A would be the only property within the EastLake Business Center II with the VC-5
Land Use District designation. Although the current proposal is to allow the entire Area
A to be converted to commercial retail, this is predicated upon the project meeting the
6-7
Page 8, Item ~
Meeting Date: 12/18/07
parking standards for each individual type of land use proposed under the VC-5 District.
The Parking section discusses parking for Area A in more detail.
As indicated above, the requested change in land use from BC-l to YC-5 is not
considered a significant change given the existing land uses already occurring within the
Design District. The fact that certain retail uses are already allowed (furniture stores,
home improvement retail in conjunction with showrooms) has demonstrated the
appropriateness of other types of retail uses complementary to the District. While the
proposed land use category is similar in nature to the VC-l, Village Commercial, there
are certain uses, which while allowed in the YC-l, will be prohibited in the proposed VC-
5 district due to the unique characteristics of the site and surrounding area. Prohibited
uses will include gasoline service stations, libraries, post office or convalescent homes
and hospitals. To adopt this existing industrial complex to commercial and improve the
mercantile posture of existing and future tenants, certain modifications to the
development standards are necessary.
Areas B and C
While the Land Use District Overlay is being removed as part of the entitlement requests,
the applicant is requesting to change the land use designation for Area B from BC-l to
BC-4. Although a hotel and office are currently proposed for Area C, the applicant has
requested the same BC-4 land use provisions apply for this area as well.
In terms ofland use the new district will be very similar in nature to BC-3. Unlike BC-l,
the BC-3 land use designation allows certain additional land uses such as medical clinic
land use with a Conditional Use Permit. Staff supports this as an appropriate designation
in that it is located in an area that could be considered a transition between retail and
more business park/industrial type uses. The site itself is physically separated
topographically from the adjacent residential land uses to the north and east. Further
analysis in terms of parking and traffic could take place as part of the CUP process.
Parking
Area A
The EastLake Design District (Area A) is an existing development that is proposing an
amendment to allowable uses within the existing buildings. A traffic and parking study
was prepared by Linscott Law & Greenspan (March 16, 2007) ("LLG") for Area A. This
study assumed an increased mix of commercial uses typical of what the proposed
amendments would allow. The study concluded that there would be adequate parking.
Further, additional uses cannot be approved absent evidence of adequate parking
availability. The study included a 15% mixed-use reduction and credit based on patrons
from the same vehicle patronizing more than one business per trip.
Staff concurs with the recommendations presented in parking study, to adopt the Urban
Land Institute parking standards for furniture stores. Based upon this study, the applicant
6-8
Page 9, Item~
Meeting Date: 12/18/07
is requesting a reduced parking standard for this land use of 1 space per 1,100 s.f. The
site contains unique characteristics, including 1) vehicular access which is more
conductive to a business center than a typical retail center 2) and the exiting Design
District contains a number of large suites currently occupied by such furniture retailers as
Bassett and Lane.
The proposed PC District Regulations will require that new establishments will be
required to demonstrate adequate parking to the satisfaction of the City (see section III.!
footnote 3 of Attachment 6)~
Area B
There is no specific proposal for Area B at this time. However, when development
occurs, it will be required to provide parking on-site that is consistent with the EastLake
Business Center II Planned Community District Regulations.
Area C
Another parking study was prepared by the traffic engineering firm of LLG (September
2007) to determine the adequacy of proposed parking on-site for Area C. In particular,
the second parking study sought to address the parking needs for approximately 8,800
square feet of proposed conference room space proposed by the hotel land use. The City
of Chula Vista does not have parking standards that specifically address hotels with
conference room space. A survey of other municipal jurisdictions was also conducted in
order to obtain clearer requirements for conference room space. For the purposes of
determining the parking demand, the City assumed that dedicated conference space
would require parking in addition to the City's standard requirement for hotels. The
parking study determined that adding the requirement of 1 space per 100 sq. ft. of gross
floor area of dedicated conference space in a hotel would adequately address the overall
hotel parking requirement.
The parking study took into account the fact that hotel, conference center and office uses
create peak parking demand at different times of the day. It also noted that the proposed
hotel is a business hotel, not a tourist hotel. The target market for the hotel is business
travelers visiting local companies to conduct business or corporate executives visiting a
satellite office in Chula Vista. Business travelers and local companies holding small
conferences or meetings in a space larger than the typical office conference room will use
the conference room space. The hotel peak demand occurs from !0:00pm to 6:00am
while the office peak demand occurs at 8:00am to 5:00pm. The study demonstrates that,
even assuming an additional 88 parking spaces (based upon 1 space per 100 s.f.) need to
be provided for the conference rooms independent of the standard hotel parking
requirements, there is adequate parking for the hotel (with conference rooms) and the
office building to operate independently (see Attachment 4). The owner's of the
Corporate Center hotel and office buildings will be entering into a private reciprocal
parking agreement to share parking as needed between the properties in order to take
advantage of their different peak demands and the minimum of35 excess parking spaces
6-9
Page 10, Item~
Meeting Date: 12/18/07
that are available at anyone time.. This agreement will ensure a seamless parking facility
for all uses on evenings and weekends.
In addition to the above, the parking requirements for the proposed VC-5 and BC-4
Districts (Areas A, B and C) will also be amended to provide a new standard for
furniture stores and to allow for shared parking subject to a specific procedure,
demonstrating adequate parking (see Attachment 7, PC District Regs. Tab, Section VIII).
Building Height
One of the main reasons for the creation of a new Land Use District (BC-4) as opposed to
relying on the existing BC-3 district is to accommodate the requested building height
increase from 35 feet to 76 feet. Visual Simulations were prepared for Areas B and C
(see Attachment 2, Appendix A, and Attachment 3, Figure 5 and 6). Visual Simulation
for Area A was not prepared because the buildings already exist and no future
construction on the site is proposed.
Area B
Photo simulations of a conceptual project to illustrate the potential visual impact of
future development containing buildings with a height of 76 feet were shown at a
building setback of 210 feet from the north property line and 80 feet from the easterly
property line. The photo simulations were taken from observation points within the
Rolling Hills Ranch residential development that abuts Area B to the north and from
EastLake Woods West residential development, which abuts Area B to the east (see
Attachment 2, Appendix A). The photo simulations illustrate that a combination of
increased building setbacks, architectural design and well articulated building mass
blended well with the existing industrial buildings. Visibility of the proposed building
from the different points in the surrounding residential neighborhoods is limited to the
top floors. The proposed combination of building height setback ratio along with
additional design criteria for buildings over 35 feet in height will ensure that future
proposed development does not produce any adverse visual impacts to surrounding
neighborhoods. At the time when actual development is proposed, the applicant will be
required to prepare additional visual analysis in conjunction with a request for approval
of Design Review entitlements by the City of Chula Vista Design Review Committee
(DRC)
Area C
A Visual Analysis Report was prepared by Jones and Stokes (June 2007) to analyze the
Corporate Center. (see Attachment 3, Figure 5 and 6) This report analyzed the impact of
the proposed development from 10 Key Observation Points (KOP). Visual simulations
of the project were created and analyzed to determine the aesthetics of the height and
mass of the buildings. Staff concurs with the report findings, based upon the photo
simulations provided, as well as staffs field visits, that development would be
compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods.
6-10
Page II, Item---L2-
Meeting Date: 12/18/07
The City of Chula Vista General Plan identifies Otay Lakes Road as a Scenic Roadway.
Although the proposed building height exceeds that of surrounding development,
visibility of the proposed hotel and office building from the surrounding area will be
minimized by a combination of greater building setbacks and reduction in the amount of
vertical building massing as viewed from the south.
Design Guidelines
The Design Guidelines are being amended primarily to add additional design criteria for
structures over 35 feet in height. These guidelines complement the additional
requirements added to the development standards of the PC District Regulations. The
visual analysis discussed above indicates that additional height can be accommodated
with increased setbacks, a reduction of vertical mass as the building height increase and
increased architectural features described in these guidelines.
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
The existing Supplemental Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) has been prepared by
City consultants based upon the proposed change in land use of 16.7 acres from Light
Industrial to Commercial. However, because this land use change is a component of
entitlements for the larger 45-acre area, it is also included in the PFFP amendment
specifically to include the proposed office and hotel on Area C. As required by the City's
Growth Management Ordinance, the PFFP amendment analyzes the impact of the project
on public facilities and services and identifies the required public facilities and services
needed to serve the project to maintain consistency with the City's Quality of Life
Threshold Standards. The PFFP describes in detail the cost, financing mechanisms and
timing for constructing public facilities.
The public facilities needed to serve the project will be guaranteed by either requiring
payment of DIF and TDIF fees at the building permit stage and/or bond for applicable
improvements prior to issuance of building permits, as outlined in the mitigation
measures for IS-07-015 (see following discussion on traffic).
TransDortation/Traffic:
In September 2007, the traffic-consulting firm of Linscott, Law and Greenspan (LLG)
prepared two separate traffic impact analysis reports-one for Areas A and B and a
separate analysis for Area C. Subsequently, LLG prepared a comprehensive executive
sununary analyzing the results of both traffic reports. For Area A the traffic report
analyzed a project proposing 125,100 square feet of furniture stores, 39,350 square feet of
office floor space, 39,350 square feet of specialty retail/Strip commercial and 27,800
square feet of restaurant space for a total of 231,566 square feet. For Area B the traffic
report analyzed a high intensity land use consisting of 160,000 square feet of specialty
retail/strip commercial simulating a daily worst-case scenario for the future potential
development of this site. For Area C, the traffic report analyzed a I 56-room hotel with
8,800 square feet of convention/meeting rooms and a 120,000 square foot office building.
6-11

Meeting Date: 12/18/07
Areas A and B
The existing land uses of Area A are calculated to generate a total of 1,110 ADT with 44
trips during the AM peak hour (31 inbound and 13 outbound) and 100 trips during the
PM peak hour (50 inbound and 50 outbound). With the proposed land use change, Area
A would generate a net 3,900 ADT with 139 trips during the AM peak hour (110 inbound
and 29 outbound) and 355 trips during the PM peak hour (189 inbound and 166
outbound).
Area B land uses were calculated to generate a total of 5,440 ADT with 163 trips during
the AM peak hour (98 inbound and 65 outbound) and 448 trips during the PM peak hour
(224 inbound and 224 outbound).
The traffic study calculated the traffic for Areas A and B to be a net of 9,340 ADT with
302 trips during the AM peak hour (208 inbound and 94 outbound) and 803 trips during
the PM peak hour (413 inbound and 390 outbound), with the pass by reduction.
In addition to the cumulative impact discussed below, a direct impact of the Project is
anticipated at the intersection of Fenton Street and Showroom Place which will operate at
Level of Service F during the PM hours. To address this long-term direct impact, a
project condition has been included that the Applicant/Developer shall be required to
enter into an agreement to design, construct, and secure a fully actuated traffic signal at
the intersection of Showroom Place and Fenton Street prior to completing development
of Area B at the intersection of Showroom Place and Fenton Street or as determined and
approved by the City Engineer. With the traffic signal, this intersection is projected to
operate at LOS B or better.
Area C
The traffic study projected that the proposed hotel and office building (Area C) will
generate an estimated total Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 3,950 driveway trips, with
429 trips occurring in the AM peak hour (358 inbound and 71 outbound) and 436 trips
occurring in the PM peak hour (136 inbound and 300 outbound).
Project (Areas A, B and C)
Based on the traffic impact study results, in the near term with the project all intersections
are calculated to operate at LOS D or better except for the Otay Lakes RdIV ons
Driveway intersection, which is calculated to continue to operate at LOS F during the PM
peak hour. The impact at this intersection is considered to be cumulative in nature. The
Applicant/Developer will be required to pay their fair share to mitigate the Otay Lakes
RoadIVons Driveway intersection deficiency in the form of Transportation Development
Impact Fees. With the implementation of proposed mitigation this intersection is
projected to operate at an acceptable LOS D.

Drainage:
Since the PFFP was previously amended in 1999, urban runoff from municipal storm
water conveyance systems has been identified by local, regional, and national research
programs as one of the principle causes of water quality problems in most urban areas. A
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit now requires the development
and implementation of storm water regulations addressing storm water pollution issues.
New thresholds have been added to the PFFP to reflect these additional storm water
discharge regulations.
Water Conservation Plan:
The City's Growth Management Ordinance requires the preparation of a Water
Conservation Plan for all projects. The original Water Conservation Plan was prepared in
November of 1999 in conjunction with the original establishment of the original Business
Center II. The current update to the Plan updates the applicable tables to include the
reduction on Industrial acreage and the introduction of 16.7 acres of commercial acreage.
In addition, the update includes the addition of a number of residential and non-
residential water conservation measures. A condition has been included to require that
the development/redevelopment of Areas A, B and C implement the recommendations of
the Water Conservation Plan as amended.
Air Quality Improvement Plan (AQIP):
An Air Quality Improvement Plan was prepared for the project in accordance with
Federal and State requirements; and the City's General Plan Growth Management
Element (GME) to meet federal and state air quality standards. To implement the GME,
the City's Growth Management Program requires that major commercial/industrial
projects prepare Air Quality Improvement Plans for all Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
Plans. The AQIP includes an assessment of how the project has been designed to reduce
emissions as well as identifY appropriate mitigation measures. The original AQIP was
adopted in November 1999 in conjunction with the establishment of the original Business
Center II. The AQIP is being now being amended to reflect the proposed transfer of
16.7acres from Industrial to Commercial. The main change to the AQIP is the addition of
a section discussing the commitment to the Chula Vista Greenstar program.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT:
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property
holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property that is subject to this action.

FISCAL IMPACT:
An amendment to the EastLake Business Center II Supplemental Public Facilities
Financing Plan (PFFP) was prepared to ensure that the development of the project will
not adversely impact the City's Quality of Life Standards. The net fiscal impact from the
amendment is negative in 2007 ($91,800 Loss) and 2008 ($57,400 Loss) but becomes
positive in 2009 ($306,500) and positive at buildout ($345,000).

RESOLUTION NO. GP A-07-05/PCM-07-04
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT THE MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION IS-07-015 AND MITIGATION MONITORING
AND REPORTING PROGRAM; APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY'S
GENERAL PLAN, EASTLAKE II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN,
EASTLAKE BUSINESS CENTER II SUPPLEMENTAL SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN, EASTLAKE PLANNED COMMUNITY
DISTRICT REGULATIONS AND LAND USE DISTRICTS MAP, PUBLIC
FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN AND ASSOCIATED REGULATORY
DOCUMENTS FOR 44 ACRES LOCATED WITHIN THE EASTAKE BUSlNESS
CENTER.
WHEREAS, on September 11, 2006, a duly verified application was filed with the City of
Chula Vista Planning and Building Department by IRE Development ("Developer"), requesting
approval of amendments to the City's General Plan, EastLake II General Development plan,
EastLake Business Center II Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and EastLake II
Planned Community District Regulations and associated regulatory documents including Design
Guidelines, Public Facilities Financing Plan, Air Quality Improvement plan and Water Conservation
plan for 44 acres located north of Otay Lakes Road at the north, east and southwest sides of the
intersection of Showroom Place and Fenton Street. ("Project); and,
WHEREAS, The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for
compliance with the California Quality Act (CEQA) and has conducted an Initial Study, IS-07-015
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Based upon the results of the Initial
Study, the Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that the project could result in
significant effects on the environment. However, revisions to the project made by or agreed to by
the applicant would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant
effects would occur; therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has prepared a Mitigated
Negative Declaration, IS-07 -015.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (IS-07 -015) has been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and th,e Environmental Review
Procedures of the City of Chula Vista; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the Project environmental impacts will be
mitigated by adoption of the Mitigation Measures described in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
and contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and that the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program is designed to ensure that during Project implementation, the
Developer, permittee/Project applicant, and any other responsible parties implement the project
components and comply with the mitigation Monitoring Program; and,
6-17
WHEREAS, the Planning and Building Director set the time and place for a hearing on the
Project, and notice of said hearing, together with its pllIpose, was given by its publication in a
newspaper of general circulation in the city and it mailing to property owners and within 500 feet of
the exterior boundaries of the property, at least 10 days prior to the hearing; and,
WHEREAS, the hearing was held at the time and place as advertised, namely 6:00 p.m.,
November 28, 2007, in the Council Chambers, 276 Fourth A venue, before the Planning Commission
and the hearing was thereafter closed.
Now therefore, the Chula Vista Planning Commission makes the following findings:
I. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
CONFORM WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN, AS
AMENDED.
The proposed aniendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan reflect the land uses
that are consistent with the City's General Plan as proposed to be amended and conform to
the provisions contained therein.
II. SPA FINDINGS
THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN,AS AMENDED, IS IN CONFORMITY
WITH THE EASTLAKE II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE CHULA VISTA
GENERAL PLAN.
The proposed amendments to the EastLake Business Center II SPA Plail reflect the land uses
that are consistent with the EastLake II General Development Plan and the City ofChula Vista
General Plan as proposed to be amended.
THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL PROMOTE
THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED SECTIONAL
PLANNING AREAS.
The requested amendments to the Eastlake Business Center II SPA plan includes a
Supplemental Public Facilities Finance Plan that outlines the required infrastructure to serve the
Project, the timing of installation and the fmancing mechanisms to promote the orderly
sequentialized development of the Project.
6-18
THE EASTLAKE SECTIONAL PLANNlNG AREA (SPA) PLANS, AS AMENDED, WILL
NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT,
CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The proposed modifications to land use and development standard provisions within the
Project Site have been fully analyzed and will not adversely affect the circulation system and
overall land use as previously envisioned in the EastLake II General Development Plan. A
Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-07-015) and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring
Program was prepared for the Project. Mitigation measures have been included related to
aesthetics/visual quality, air quality, paleontological, hydrology and water quality, noise, and
traffic. Thus, the requested amendments to the SPA will not adversely affect the adjacent land
uses, residential enjoyment, circulation or environmental quality of the surrounding uses.
IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT SUCH
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION, AND OVERALL
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH AS TO CREATE A
RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND
STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE
STANDARDS ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE.
The orientation and configuration of the 16.7 acres is substantially more suitable for
commercial retail rather than light industrial land use and more compatible with the
EastLake Design District which currently occupies the site.
Thus, changing the previously adopted land use designation from Light Industrial to
Commercial Retail is appropriate, and will not affect the surrounding areas. This added
acreage will contribute substantially to achieve the city's economic development goals and
objectives.
THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE TO
CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON.
The potential impacts to traffic and circulation have been thoroughly analyzed based upon the
proposed project resulting in specific requirements that must be complied with at the time of
development within the project area. This includes payment of in-lieu fees to pay fair share of
cumulative impacts to the off-site intersection located at the intersection of the V ons Driveway
and Otay Lakes Road and the construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Fenton Street
and Showroom Place.
ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE mSTIFlED
ECONOl'vUCALLY AT THE LOCATION (S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH
PROPOSED LOCATION (S).
6-19
The proposed amendments increase the acreage designated Commercial Retail to allow for
additional complementary retail establishments to be located within the existing Eastlake
Design District in an effort to increase the economic viability of the District and to provide
additional services, including restaurants and other similar uses, which complement the
existing home improvement district.
THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND ZONED
IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH SAID
DEVELOPMENT.
The proposed amendments are consistent with the previously approved plans and regulations
applicable to surrounding sites and therefore the proposed amendments can be planned and
zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with said development.
Ill. PFFPFINDINGS
THE AMENDMENT TO THE EXISITNG PFFP COMPLIES WITH SECTIONS 19.09.050
THROUGH 19.09.100, REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC F ACILITIES FINANCE PLAN.
The amendment to the Eastlake Business Center II Supplemental PFFP has been prepared
according to the contents and details outlined in the Municipal Code. It has been submitted
to and reviewed by the Director of Planning and Building who has determined that the
proposed amendments to the PFFP comply with the provisions of Section 19.09.080 and is
forwarding the document with corresponding development plan to the Planning Commission
for consideration and public input. Public facilities needed to serve the project were
identified and will be guaranteed by conditions of approval, implementation of required
mitigation measures identified in Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-07 -015, payment ofDIF
fees at the building permit stage, and/or utilizing Community Facilities to fmance or maintain
the public facility.
THE PROPOSED PFFP AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OVERALL
GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN, GROWTH
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, THE AMENDED EASTLAKE II GENERAL
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE AMENDED EASTLAKE BUSINESS CENTER II
SPA PLAN.
The Eastlake II General Development Plan and Eastlake Business Center II SPA outline the
necessary public facilities required to meet its land use and circulation objectives of the
General Plan. The amendment to the existing PFFP outlines detailed plans for the provision
of those public facilities as they relate to the proposed Project.
The amended PFFP identifies required Development Impact Fees (DIF) fees which must be
paid to help defray costs of facilities which will benefit the project. The estimated fees
6-20
required by this project are $2,627,009 for Transportation Facilities and $2,850,622 for other
applicable Facilities.
While net fiscal impact of the Project on public facilities is negative in 2007 ($91,800 Loss)
and 2008 ($57,400 Loss) the fiscal impact becomes positive in 2009 ($306,500) and positive
at build out ($345,000).
THE AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING PFFP ENSURES 1HA T THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE PROJECT WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE
STANDARDS.
As required by the City's Growth Management Ordinance, the PFFP amendment analyzes
the impact of the project on public facilities and services and identifies the required public
facilities and services needed to serve the project to maintain consistency with the City's
Quality of Life Threshold Standards. The PFFP describes in detail the cost, financing
mechanisms and timing for constructing public facilities required to ensure that development
occurs only when the necessary public facilities exist or are provided concurrent with the
demands of the new development. Certain facility improvements have been identified as
project impacts based upon Mitigated Negative Declaration (1S-07 -015) and accompanying
Mitigation Monitoring Program. These include the requirements for the construction of a
signal at the intersection of Fenton and Showroom Place prior to development of Area B.
Other required mitigation measures are related to aesthetics/visual quality, air quality,
paleontological, hydrology and water quality, noise, and traffic. Implementation of these
mitigation measures along with payment of required DIF fees will ensure the Project will
maintain consistency with the City's Quality of Life Standards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY TH E PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CHULA VISTA recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Draft City
Council Resolution and Ordinance approving the Project in accordance with the findings and
subject to the conditions contained therein. .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA THAT a copy of this Resolution and the draft City Council Resolution and
Ordinance be transmitted to the City Council.

A. Proiect Setting
The project site consists of 43.7 acres located on the north side of Olay Lakes Road and west of
Hunte Parkway. The project site can be described as containing three distinct areas (See Exhibit 2).
Area A contains the existing Eastlake Design District which consists of existing furniture stores and
showrooms related to home improvement with ancillary commercial uses. Area B consists of
relatively flat vacant building pads. Area C is vacant land and is located at a higher grade (about 28
feet) than Olay Lakes Road. The project site is in an urbanized area in the eastern portion of the City
of Chula Vista (see Exhibit 3 - Aerial Map). Topography across the project site is relatively flat and
the property is devoid of vegetation. The site is surrounded by residential and commercial/industrial
development as follows:
Design District (Area "A ") and Eastlake Design Center (Area "B ")
North: Single Family Residences
East: Single Family Residences
South: Otay Lakes Road, Single Family Residences
West: Medical Offices & Industrial Businesses
Eastlake Corporate Center Area C:
North: Commercial, Multi-Family residences, Single Family residences
East: Medical Office Buildings
South: Olay Lakes Road, Single-Family Residences
West: Hitachi Business
B. Proiect Description
The project consists of an amendment to the City of Chula Vista General Plan (GP A) to change the land
use designation of approximately 16.7 previously developed acres at the northeast corner of Fen ton Street
and Showroom Place (851-891 Showroom Place) within the Eastlake Business Center (hereafter referred
as Area "A") from Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. The GPA amendment would allow
additional commercial retail types of uses to complement the existing tenant mix.
I
6-24
Concurrent amendments to the Eastlake II General Development Plan (GDP), Eastlake Business Center II
Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan and associated regulatory documents are also
proposed for Area A above and parcels identified as Lot 2 of Map 13971 and Lots 5-8 of Map 14395
(herein after referred to as Area B) and 2430 Fenton Street (hereinafter referred to as Area C). The GDP
and SPA amendments consist of changing the land use designation of Area A from BC-I (Business
Center Manufacturing Park District) with Design District Overlay to a new commercial ( VC-5) land use
district; and Area Band C from BC-I (with area B currently including a Design District Overlay) to BC-
4 (Business Center Core District). Also included are certain modifications to the adopted property
development regulations in order to accommodate greater design and land use flexibility, including an
increase in building height from 35 to 60 feet up to a maximum of 76 feet for Areas B and C.
The project further proposes repeal of the previously adopted Master Use Permit PCC-05-070 for Area A
and B and includes approval of conditional use permit and design review for a new hotel and office
building on Area C (see Exhibit 2).
The conditional use permit application requests permission to establish and operate an approximately
148,024 square foot, five-story hotel with 156 rooms and 10,000 square feet of conference rooms and
other amenities on Area C. The hotel will also provide a restaurant for its guests and a total of 163
parking spaces.
A design review application was also filed for the construction of an approximately 122,071 square foot,
four-story Class A office building providing approximately 433 parking spaces in Area C. Both the hotel
and office buildings will be served by a reciprocal access and parking agreement.
C. Comoliance with Zoning and Plans
The existing zoning of the project sites is follows: Areas A, B & C: BC-I (Business Center
Manufacturing Park District). Areas A and B also include an existing Design District Overlay. The
applicant proposes a change of zone as follows: Area A from the existing BC-I to VC-5 Land Use
District; Area B and C from BC-I to BC-4 (Business Center Core District); The General Plan
designation for Area A is presently Limited Industrial and it is proposed to be amended to
Commercial Retail. The project further proposes repeal of the previously adopted Master Use Permit
for Area A & B and approval of a conditional use permit and design review for a new hotel and
office building for Area C.
D. Public Comments
On July 23, 2007, a Notice of Initial Study was circulated to property owners within a 500-foot
radius of the project site. The public comment period ended on August 2, 2007. No comments were
received. On October 17, 2007 a Notice of Availability was posted with the County Recorder's
Office and circulated to property owners within a 500-foot radius of the project site. The Draft MND
was also made available at the PSB building, the main public library, the Eastlake public library and
the eastern Chula Vista Governmental offices. No comments were received during the thirty-day
public review period of the draft MND [October 17, 2007 through November 16, 2007].
E. Identification of Environmental Effects
An Initial Study conducted by the City of Chula Vista (including an attached Environmental
Checklist form) determined that the proposed project would not have a significant environmental
effect because mitigation measures incorporated into the project have eliminated possible significant
2
6-25
impacts or reduced them to a level of insignificance. Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental
Impact Report will not be required. This Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
accordance with Section 15070 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
AestheticsNisual Character
Area A (Eastlake Desirm District)
The Eastlake Design District Area (Area A) is fully constructed and developed at a height of 35 feet.
No increase in height is proposed for Area A. There are no physical changes or impacts to aesthetics
or visual character from the proposed change in land use to VC-5 and the repeal of the Design
District Overlay.
Area S (Vacant Sui/din!! Pads)
Development of this Area is not proposed at this time; however, the applicant is requesting an
increase in building height from 35-feet currently permitted to 76-feet in the BC- 4 district with
increased setback requirements. The firm of Focus360 has provided photo simulations of a
conceptual project to illustrate the potential visual impact offuture development containing buildings
with a height of76 feet at a building setback of21O feet from the north property line and 80 feet from
the easterly property line. The photo simulations were taken from six observation points. Three
observation points are located within the Rolling Hills Ranch residential development that abuts Area
B to the north and the remaining three points from Eastlake W oods West residential development,
which abuts. Area B to the east. The photo simulations illustrate that a combination of increased
building setbacks, architectural design and less vertical building massing will avoid any adverse
visual impacts (see Appendix A). At the time when actual development is proposed, the applioant
will be required to prepare additional visual analysis in conjunction with a request for approval of
Design Review entitlements by the City of Chula Vista Design Review Committee (DRC). Therefore
no immediate and direct impacts are associated with the change in land use and change in allowable
height as part of the current amendments.
The following mitigation measure would ensure that future development of Area B is subject to City
adopted land use and design criteria:
At the time when actual development is proposed for Area B, the applicant will be required to
comply with the intent and purpose of the PC District Regulations and Design Guidelines and to
prepare additional visual analysis in conjunction with a request for approval of Design Review
entitlements by the City of Chula Vista Design Review Committee (DRC).
Area C (Eastlake Corporate Center)
A Visual Analysis Report was prepared by Jones and Stokes (June 2007) to analyze the Corporate
Center (Area C). This report analyzed the impact of the proposed development from 10 Key
Observation Points (KOP). Visual Simulations of the project were created and analyzed to determine
the aesthetics of the height and mass of the buildings upon completion of construction. While the
report did identify that the proposed development is taller than surrounding development, it
concluded that the development would be compatible with the surrounding development. Impacts to
all 10 of the KOPs were determined to be less than significant as the view shed from the KOPs were
low to moderate scenic quality based upon the proposed fifty (50) foot building setback from the
southern property line, which faces Otay Lakes Road. The City of Chula Vista General Plan
identifies Otay Lakes Road as a Scenic Roadway. No impacts to Otay Lakes Road were identified by
3
6-26
the report as part of the Corporate Center Project and therefore no mitigation is proposed with
respect to this roadway. Although the proposed building height exceeds that of surrounding
development, visibility of the proposed hotel and office building will be minimized by a combination
of greater building setbacks and reduction in vertical massing as viewed from the south.
The considerations contained in the development standards and within the Design guidelines for
Eastlake Business Center II for the BC-4lots and which are applicable to this project are:
For commercial and industrial buildings greater than 35 feet in height, the Design Review
Conunittee shall consider the following special design objectives in addition to those contained
in the Eastlake Business Center II Design Guidelines:
1. Ensure high quality and fully finished architecture on elevations facing adjoining
residential development and properties equal to that of the other sides of the building.
2. Provide enhanced screening via increased size and/or amount of buffer landscaping
and/or screening walls.
3. Maintain comparable access to light and air at the perimeter lot line based on a 35'
building height at the minimum setbacks.
a. Establish a height to setback ratio that achieves the negligible visible impacts of tall
buildings as exemplified in the visual simulations conducted for Areas B and C.
b. Maintain a comparable fa~ade area (maximum building width X base height of35
feet) for elevations facing residential developments or adjoining residential lots. This
may be accomplished by reducing the total building width as the height of the building
increases so that the total fa~ade area remains roughly the same.
Example: 35' height X 100' width between side yard setbacks = building area of 3,500
square feet. A 70' tall building would have a target width of approximately 50 feet
wide (70' X 50' = 3,500' square feet).
All future development in the BC-4 Land Use District will be required to comply with these
measures. In addition, all development in the area must obtain approval from the City of Chula Vista
Design Review Conunittee. Proposed changes to allow the additional height have been evaluated for
consistency with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan. The proposed increase in
height will allow for development that is consistent with the General Plan and is well planned with
appropriate building setbacks and design criteria.
The following mitigation measure would ensure that the proposed building height increase would not
result in an adverse impact to the various view sheds:
Height limit for buildings proposed for Area C may be increased up to 76 feet contingent upon
compliance with all proposed revisions to the PC District Regulations and Design Guidelines which
include a combination of increased building setback, architectural design treatment and reduction of
vertical building massing. The Design Review Conunittee may authorize deviations from these
requirements where otherwise consistent with the intent and purpose of the PC District Regulations
and Design Guidelines.

Air Quality
An air quality impact analysis was prepared by Jones & Stokes (July 2007) for the proposed project.
Following is a summary of the results and conclusions of this air quality report.
Short- Term Construction Impacts
The proposed project will result in a minor increase in air pollutants during the construction phase of
the proposed hotel and office building. Fugitive dust would be created during grading and
construction activities. Air quality impacts resulting from construction-related operations are
considered short-term in duration since construction-related activities are temporary. Construction-
related emissions would originate from proposed construction activities related to Area C and would
consist of equipment exhaust, workers vehicle exhaust, dust from grading, and exposed soil eroded
by wind. Dust control measures required during construction operations would be implemented in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the County of San Diego Air Pollution Control.District
(APCD) and the California Air Resources Board.

Mitigation measures contained in Section F below would mitigate short-term construction-related air
quality impacts to below a level of significance.
Long-Term Operational Impacts
The project site is located within the San Diego Air Basin (SDAB). Based on the Traffic hnpact
Analysis prepared by Linscott, Law & Greenspan (August 2007), the hotel and office building would
generate approximately 3,950 new daily trips. The morning peak hour traffic resulting from the hotel
and office project would be equivalent to 429 in and out driveway trips and the evening peak hour
would result in 436 in and out driveway trips being generated.
The City has traditionally used the significance emissions thresholds of the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD), which is responsible for air quality in the urbanized areas of Los
Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties. The air quality in the SCAQMD is much
worse than the San Diego Air Basin; therefore, the SCAQMD thresholds are very conservative for
the San Diego area.
6-~8
The estimated operational emissions for this project are shown in Table 2 below. As shown on this
table, none of the CEQA significance thresholds would be exceeded during operation of the project.
The URBEMIS model for urban emissions was used to calculate the input and output data.

A CO hot spot analysis was conducted to determine whether the proposed hotel and office-building
project would contribute to a violation of the ambient air quality standards for CO at any local
intersections. Three intersections having high a.m. and p.m. peak hour volumes (per LLG Traffic
Impact Analysis; August 2007) were modeled for CO impacts. The table below shows the three
selected intersections. The results show that the State one-and eight-hour standards of 20 ppm and 9
ppIn, respectively, would not be exceeded at any of the three intersections.

Paleontological
Data compiled by the San Diego Natural History Museum, Department of Paleo Services was used to
assess paleontological resource sensitivity issues in relation to proposed project grading,
construction, operation and maintenance activities. The assessment was based both on !mown
paleontological sites within the project area, as well as extrapolated biostratigraphic information
derived from rock units in adjacent areas or areas of regional context which indicate the potential for
a fossil resource to occur in particular geologic unit. Even though there are no !mown significant
6-~9
fossil resources found at the project site, the general vicinity has been identified as forming part of an
area considered by experts in the field of paleontology as having a "high paleontological resource
sensitivity". This rating would require a paleontological monitoring and mitigation program. This
means that an approved monitoring program would be available for implementation during grading
and excavation activities related to this project. Subsequently, if unique paleontological resources are
discovered, all significant fossil material will need to be collected, prepared, identified, and curated,
and then placed into a state-designated scientific repository. Compliance with the mitigation
measure contained below in Section F would avoid significant impacts to paleontological resources.
Geology and Soils
Geotechnics INC. prepared geotechnical/soils reports (August 2007) for the proposed development of
Area C. The report, approved by the City Engineering Department, states that no adverse
geotechnical conditions were encountered which would prohibit the proposed development ofproject
Site C. The preparation and submittal of a [mal soils report will be required prior to the issuance of a
grading permit as a standard engineering requirement.
Project Site "C", where development is proposed has been previously mass graded. There are no
known or suspected seismic hazards associated with the project site. The project site lies about four
miles west of the La Nacion Fault Zone (an inactive fault zone). The closest recently active fault is
the Rose Canyon Fault, located about 14 miles west of the site. The site is not located within an
Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone. Therefore, project compliance with applicable Uniform
Building Code standards would adequately address any building safety/seismic concerns.
The proposed project site C Area is not located within a landslide hazard area or liquefaction hazard
area. Landslide hazard areas are areas containing active land-slide-prone terrain. These are typically
areas that contain unstable sedimentary rock formations, contain slopes exceeding 25 %. Likewise,
liquefaction hazard areas are characterized by shallow ground water tables and poorly consolidated
sediments subject to hazards associated with seismically induced liquefaction. No adverse impacts
related to landslide or liquefaction is anticipated from development of Area C.
In order to prevent silt discharge during construction, the developer will required to comply with best
management practices in accordance with the NPDES General Construction Permit. The appropriate
standard erosion control measures would be identified in conjunction with preparation of final
grading plans and would be monitored and implemented during construction by the Engineering
Division. Therefore, the potential for the discharge of silt into city drainage systems would be less
than significant.
Hvdrology
A Drainage report was prepared by K&S Engineering (September 2007) and approved by the City's
Engineering Department. The study evaluated storm runoff under existing conditions and compared
it to the existing conditions plus project conditions (50-year events). The report assessed any
potential drainage impact that could be caused, or aggravated by project development. The project
proposes to add 8.14 acres of impervious area in the form of rooftops, parking lots, access drives,
sidewalks, etc.
The Eastlake Design District Area (Project site A) is fully constructed and developed. Area B is
presently vacant and no specific development is proposed. The hotel and office building is proposed
for Area C which is presently vacant. Area C has been previously sheet graded, and gently slopes
towards an existing desilting basin located in the northwest corner of the project site. The slope
6-30
along the southern boundary is landscaped with trees, shrubs and grass. The onsite drainage is
proposed to be collected in curb, gutters and inlets and discharged at a low point from which it enters
a grassed bio swale, clean water filter system units, downspout and stormwater bioretention filtration
system (Filterra), located at different corners of the property. Once the runoff is treated, it will flow
via an onsite 24-inch lateral pipe towards Fenton Street to an existing 36" storm drainpipe, which has
a design capacity ofQ50 with an ultimate design capacity ofl07.97 cfs.
The results of the Drainage Report (September 2007) and Water Quality Technical Report
(September 2007) prepared by K&S Engineering were compared with the City of Chula Vista
Eastlake Business Center II Master Study. The comparison results indicate that the project run-off
flow rate, volume, velocity and duration for the post development condition will not exceed the
ultimate design condition of the existing drainage pipe system for 2, 10 or 50-year storm frequency.
The proposed development will not alter the natural drainage path or divert any drainage from the
current condition or drainage boundaries. Based on these calculatiohs approved by the City of Chula
Vista Engineering Department, the project would meet City approved standards and, therefore, would
not result in any adverse impacts to public facilities or surrounding properties.

A Hotel and Office building are proposed for Area C, which is presently vacant. The proposed
development will result in 8.14 acres (85%) of impervious area (roofs, parking lots, roadways,
sidewalks, etc.). As stated above, Area C has been previously sheet graded, and gently slopes towards
an existing desilting basin located in the northwest corner of the project site. The slope along the
southern boundary is landscaped with trees, shrubs and grass. The onsite drainage is proposed to be
collected in curb, gutters and inlets and discharged at a low point from which it enters a grassed bio
swale, clean water filter system units, downspout and stormwater bioretention filtration system
(Filterra), located at different corners of the property.
Construction Best Management Practices
In order to properly manage water runoff from the proposed project during the construction phase,
the proj ect proposes to incorporate the following management facilities and best management
practices:
. Storm Drain Inlet Protection
. Stockpile Management
. Solid Waste Management
. Stabilized Construction Exit
. Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance
. Erosion Control Mats and Spray-on Applications
. Gravel Bag Berms
6-~1
. Material Delivery and Storage
. Spill Prevention and Control
. Concrete Water Management
. Water Conservation Practices
. Paving and Grinding Operations
. Stabilization of Disturbed Areas
. Permanent Re-vegetation of Man-Made Slopes
BMPs shaIl be selected, constructed, and maintained so as to comply with all applicable City of
ChuIa Vista Ordinances, policies and regulations and regulatory agency regulations and wiIl be
subject to the approval and continued monitoring of the City of Chula Vista.
Post-Construction BMPs
. Limit road widths, parking lot and driveway areas spaces.
. Include as part of the project design self-treating areas such as: large landscaped areas, grass
or vegetated swales, and turf block paving areas.
. Directing roof runoff to landscaped areas before discharge to storm drains.
. Propose a Jensen Precast Interceptor and Filterra and storm water system subject to the
approval of the City of Chula Vista Engineering Department.
The applicant/developer shaIl be required to comply with the National PoIlutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) regulations including the preparation and implementation of a Water
Quality Technical Report (wQTR) and a Storm Water PoIlution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The
implementation of water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) as described above wiIl be
required in accordance with the NPDES General Permit and as approved by the City Engineer.
Based upon the implementation of standard engineering requirements and compliance with
requirements of the WQTR, SWPPP and BMPs, water quality impacts would reduce to a level below
significance.
Land Use Analvsis of Proposed Amendment from Light Industrial to Commercial Retail for Area A
The existing land uses presently found within the 16.7 acres of the Design District (Area A) consist
primarily of furniture stores and wholesale/retail distribution and showroom businesses related to
home improvement merchandise. The existing land uses are not typicaIIy representative of light
industrial land uses such as warehousing, light manufacturing, and public storage with some offices.
A previous amendment to the Eastlake Business Center II SPA was approved in 2005, which created
a Design District Overlay zone that permitted the existing land uses.
In terms of actual land designated for industrial land use, the 16.7 acres represents 7.4 percent of
industrial land within the Eastlake Planned Community. Further analysis shows that the 16.7 acres
represents less than 1.3% of the industrial lands in eastern Chula Vista and less than 1% of the
overaIl industrial lands within the City. Therefore, the percentage reduction of industriaIly
designated land is fairly smaIl in comparison to the total amount of industrial land available in the
City.
The establishment of the Eastlake Design District aIlowed for an increase in the amount of land uses
oriented more towards commercial retail, which is consistent with the current request to change the
existing General .Plan land use designation from Light Industrial to Commercial Retail. The proposed
amendment would reflect more accurately the existing representative commercial/retail uses, which
have already begun to be established within this site and would also aIIow an increase in
6-32
commercial/retail use. The proposed amendment therefore, is essentially a necessary action to bring
consistency between the General Plan and the Eastlake II Business Center SPA.
No adverse impacts as a result of the proposed general plan amendment are anticipated and therefore
no mitigation is required.
Noise
Eastlake Corporate Center Proposed Hotel and Office Building
Noise Consultant Jones & Stokes, Inc., prepared an acoustical analysis (August 2007) for the
proposed hotel and office development project. The study identified the primary noise source
generator as traffic noise from Otay Lakes Road. Additional noise sources identified by the study
were from children playing in the distance, and aircraft overflights.
The noise study also assessed potential project impacts from short-term and long-term stationary and
mobile noise sources. The sources included onsite construction activities and on-site and off-site
operations. An evaluation was made as to whether on-site operations could affect local residences or
other noise-sensitive land uses. Additionally, the effects from noise on on-site and off-site noise-
sensitive receptors as a result of future traffic volume increases were analyzed.
A noise impact generated by construction or operation activities related to the project would be
considered significant if it would result in:
. Exposure of persons to, or generation of, noise levels in excess of standards established in
local general plans. The City's exterior noise standard for office buildings and commercial
/retail property is 70 CNEL.
. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise in the project vicinity (an increase of 5 to .
10 dBA is generally considered substantial); or
. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity
(an increase of IS dBA is generally considered substantial for this type of increase).
Construction Noise
The closest noise-sensitive receptors to the project site are residential land uses to the south of the
project site. Construction activities could occur as near as 250 feet from existing residences and as
far as 950 feet. A construction noise level of 89 dBA Leq at 50 feet would attenuate to
approximately 75-dBA leq at a distance of 250 feet from the source. The City's noise ordinance
exempts construction activities from the noise standard (providing that such activities take place
between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on
Saturdays and Sunday). This provision of the Municipal Code would ensure that surrounding
residents would not be disturbed by construction related noise during the most sensitive periods of
the day. Project construction work is anticipated to occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. weekdays only. Provided that the project's construction activities are limited to the allowed
hours, the project's short-term noise impact would be less than significant.
Traffic Noise
Based on the acoustical report prepared by Jones and Stokes, potential operational noise effects
would be limited to project-related traffic. The results of the predicted traffic modeling results are
shown in Table 4. As shown in Table 4, modeled traffic noise levels in the future (Year 2009) with
project scenario would range from 58 dBA CNEL to 68 dBA CNEL.
6-3<3
On-Site (Hotel & Office Uses - Area C) Potential Impacts from Traffic Generated Noise (Otay Lakes
Road)
The proposed hotel and pool area are considered to be noise-sensitive areas and would therefore be
subject to the City's exterior noise standard of 65dBA CNEL. Based on the site design, the pool area
would be located about 220 feet away from the centerline of Otay lakes Road and would be
surrounded by a solid six foot high wall. The pool area is also located about 28 feet above the local
roadway grade, and would receive acoustical shielding by being located at the top slope. As shown
on Table 4, the exterior traffic noise level at the pool area is projected to be approximately 62 dBA
CNEL, and thus less than the City's 65 dBA CNEL exterior noise standard.
The office-building project proposes to have employee break areas along the southeast and southwest
corners of the building. These areas would be located about 250 feet from the centerline of Otay
Lakes Road, and would also benefit by acoustical shielding by virtue of the difference in elevation
between the top of slope and the street grade. As shown on Table 4, the exterior traffic noise level at
the pool area is projected to be approximately 62 dBA CNEL, and thus less than the City's 65 dBA
CNEL exterior noise standard.
The portion of the proposed hotel that would be closest to Otay Lakes Road centerline would be at a
distance of approximately 220 feet. The guest rooms of the hotel would be subject to the City's
standard of 45 dBA CNEL. As shown in Table 4, the predicted noise level at the southern side of the
proposed hotel would be 66 dBA CNEL in the future, which would exceed the city's exterior
standard. As a mitigation measure, where exterior noise levels exceed 60 dBA CNEL, the project
will be required to submit at the building permit stage an acoustical report containing attenuation
features that demonstrate that interior noise levels will be maintained at or below 45 dBA CNEL.
Modern sound-rated construction assemblies as well as the provision of forced-air mechanical
ventilation or air conditioning systems (operated with the windows shut) typically provide
approximately 20 to 25 decibels of exterior-to-interior noise reduction. Such assemblies and
techniques include but are not limited to sound-rated windows and doors and sound-rated exterior
wall assemblies. With the implementation of the sound-rated construction materials and a central air
conditioning system, noise impacts from traffic sources would be reduced to a level of insignificance.
Parking
Area A (Eastlake Design District)
The Eastlake Design District (Area A) is an existing development that is proposing an amendment to
allowable uses within the existing buildings. A Traffic and Parking Study was prepared by Linscott
Law & Greenspan (March 16, 2007) for Area A. This study assumed an increased mix of
commercial uses typical of what the proposed amendments would allow. The study concluded that
there would be adequate parking. Further, additional uses cannot be approved absent evidence of
adequate parking availability. The study included a 15% mixed-use reduction and credit based on
patrons from the same vehicle patronizing more than one business per trip.
The project proposes an amendment that would change the existing BC-I (with design district
overlay) to a new land use district category to be named Village Center 5 (VC-5) District. Area A
would be the only property within the Eastlake Business Center II with the VC-5 Land Use District
designation. Although the current proposal is to allow the entire Area A to be converted to
6-314
commercial retail, this is predicated upon the project meeting the parking standards for each
individual type ofland use proposed under the VC-5 District.
The PC District Regulations have been amended to require that future changes in use within the
development that will alter parking requirements are required to demonstrate adequate parking to the
satisfaction of the Director of Planning and Building and the City Engineer. The change to the VC-5
District Planned Community District Regulations for Eastlake II will ensure that no adverse impacts
to parking will result within the existing shopping center and therefore no parking mitigation is
required.
The parking requirements for the proposed VC-5 and BC-4 Districts will also be amended to provide
a new standard for furniture stores and to allow for shared parking subject to a specific procedure for
demonstrating adequate parking. The new requirement is based on a parking analysis approved by
the City of Chula Vista that determined the appropriate number of required spaces for furniture
stores. The new standard is a refinement to the development code and will not result in adverse
impacts to the overall parking requirements.
Area B (Vacant Building Pads)
Specific development is not proposed for the Area B at this time. However, when development is
proposed, the project will be required to provide parking on-site that is consistent with the Eastlake
Business Center II Planned Community District Regulations. Therefore there are no impacts related
to parking at the Design Center associated with this amendment, and therefore no mitigation is
proposed.
Eastlake Corporate Center (Area C)
A parking study was prepared by the traffic engineering firm of Linscott, Law & Greenspan
(September 2007) to determine the adequacy of proposed parking on-site. In particular, the parking
study sought to address the parking needs for a proposed meeting/banquet room space proposed by
the hotel land use. The City of Chula Vista does not have parking standards that specifically address
hotels with conference room space. A survey of other municipal jurisdictions was also conducted in
order to obtain clearer requirements for meeting/banquet room place. For the purposes of
determining the parking demand, the City assumed that dedicated conference space would require
parking in addition to the City's standard requirement for hotels. The parking study determined that
adding the requirement of 1 space per 100 sq. ft. of gross floor area of dedicated conference space in
a hotel would adequately address the overall hotel parking requirement.
The parking study took into account the fact that hotel, conference center and office uses peak at
different times of the day. It also noted that the proposed hotel is a business hotel, not a tourist hotel.
The target market for the hotel is business travelers visiting local companies to conduct business or
corporate executives visiting a satellite office in Chula Vista. Business travelers and local companies
holding small conferences or meetings in a space larger than the typical office conference room will
use the conference room space. The hotel peak demand occurs from 10:00pm to 6:00am while the
office peak demand occurs at 8:00am to 5:00pm. The study demonstrates that, even assuming an
additional 88 parking spaces need to be provided for the conference rooms independent of the
standard hotel parking requirements, there is adequate parking for the hotel (with conference rooms)
and the office building to operate independently. The owner's of the Corporate Center hotel and
office buildings will be entering into a private reciprocal parking agreement to share parking as
needed between the properties in order to take advantage of their different peak demands and the
minimum of 35 excess parking spaces that are available at any given time. This agreement will be
6-~
incorporated into the CC&Rs for the subject properties and recorded with the County Recorder. This
will ensure that adequate parking is being provided for conference use on evenings and weekends.
Using the most conservative and. restrictive of scenarios and parking requirements, the study
demonstrated that the total peak parking demand of 561 spaces would occur at 10:00am. The
Corporate Center is proposing 596 parking spaces, which results in an excess of 35 spaces at the peak
hour over the theoretical maximum demand. Therefore the study concluded that the 596 spaces are
adequate for the proposed land uses at the Corporate Center and therefore no mitigation is required.
Furthermore, a condition of approval for the required conditional use permit for the hotel will allow
the City of Chula Vista to require a Shared Parking Agreement if the City determines that there is a
demonstrated need for more parking on one or both of the sites after the hotel is in operation.
Traffic
The traffic-consulting firm of Linscott, Law and Greenspan (LLG) performed a traffic impact
analysis for Areas A, Band C (September 2007). For Area A the traffic report analyzed a project
proposing 125,100 square feet of furniture stores, 39,350 square feet of office floor space, 39, 350
square feet of specialty retail/Strip commercial and 27,800 square feet of restaurant space for a total
of231,566 square feet. For Area B the traffic report analyzed a high intensity land use consisting of
160,000 square feet of specialty retail/strip commercial simulating a daily worst-case scenario for the
future potential development of this site. For Area C, the traffic report analyzed a proposed 155-
room hotel with 10,000 square foot of convention/meeting rooms and a 120,000 square foot office
building. .
Eastlake Design District (Areas A & B)
The Eastlake Design District is located in the northeastern quadrant of the Otay Lakes Road/Fenton
Street intersection. Otay Lakes Road, a classified Six-Lane Major, west of Pas eo del Rey, and a Six-
Lane Prime Arterial from Paseo del Rey to the SR-125 alignment, provides the east-west access to
Areas A& B. From Otay Lakes Road, the only access to the site is from Fenton Street via Showroom
Place. Showroom Place is a 40-foot wide unclassified two-lane cul-de-sac providing access to the
project site.
Area A is an existing development consisting predominantly of furniture stores. This development is
complete and most of the buildings are occupied. The traffic study prepared by LLG (August 2007)
analyzed the proposal to modifY the present permitted land uses to allow for a mix of office,
restaurant and specialty retail. While the current proposal is to allow the entire Area A to be utilized
for commercial retail uses, the amount of available on-site parking will limit the actual amount and
type of commercial retail uses which may occur.
Area B is presently vacant and even though no site-specific project is proposed, the traffic impact
report analyzed a worst-case scenario, which included specialty retail uses. Subsequent changes to
the applicant's proposal have resulted in Area B being proposed for BC-4 uses instead. BC-4 uses
are industrial in nature and have less daily trip generation potential then specialty retail, which were
analyzed in the traffic study. The City Engineering Department has determined that this change will
not result in any additional daily trip generation.
The existing land uses of Area A are calculated to generate a total of I, II 0 ADT with 44 trips during
the AM peak hour (31 inbound and 13 outbound) and 100 trips during the PM peak hour (50 inbound
and 50 outbound). With the proposed land use change, Area A would generate a net 3,900 ADT with
6J~6
139 trips during the AM peak hour (110 inbound and 29 outbound) and 355 trips during the PM peak
hour (189 inbound and 166 outbound).
Area B site land uses were calculated to generate a total of5,440 ADT with 163 trips during the AM
peak hour (98 inbound and 65 outbound) and 448 trips during the PM peak hour (224 inbound and
224 outbound).
The traffic study calculated the traffic for Areas A & B to be a net of 9,340 ADT with 302 trips
during the AM peak hour (208 inbound and 94 outbound) and 803 trips during the PM peak hour
(413 inbound and 390 outbound), with the pass by reduction.
Short-Term Impacts (Year 0 to 4)
Based on the traffic impact study results, in the near term with the project, all intersections are
calculated to operate at Level of Service D (LOS) D or better except the Otay Lakes Rd/V ons
Driveway intersection, which is calculated to continue to operate at LOS F during the PM peak hour.
The impact at this intersection is considered to be cumulative in nature. Since this is a cumulative
impact, the following recommended traffic mitigation is tied to development of Area C and would
result in this intersection operating at an acceptable LOS C during the AM peak hour and LOS D
during the PM peak hour:
. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Area C the Applicant/Developer shall
pay the required amount of Transportation Development Impact Fees (TDIF) as confirmed
by the City ofChuJa Vista City Engineer to cover its share of the cost of improvements at the
intersection of Otay Lakes Rd/V ons Driveway, as described in the Project's Traffic Impact
Analysis (September 2007).
ill the near-term with development of Area A, all segments are calculated to operate at a LOS C or
better. The segment of Eastlake Parkway between Fenton Street and Otay Lakes Road is calculated
to operate at an LOS D.
Long-Term Impacts (Horizon Year 2(30)
Based on the traffic study, all intersections are calculated to operate at LOS D or better in the Year
2030, except the following:
. Otay Lakes Road/Vons Driveway (LOS E during the AM peak hour and LOS F during the
PM peak hour) - Cumulative Impact (without mitigation)
. Fenton Street/Showroom Place (LOS F during the PM hour) - Direct Impact
ill addition to the above-mentioned mitigation measure for Area A and Area B, the following
mitigation will be required to address a long term direct project impact. Once this mitigation is
implemented the intersection of Fenton Street/Showroom Place is projected to operate at an.
acceptable LOS B:
. The Applicant/Developer shall be required to enter into an agreement to design, construct,
and secure a fully actuated traffic signal including interconnect wiring, mast arms, signal
heads and associated equipment, underground improvements, standards and luminaries prior
to completing development of Area B at the intersection of Showroom Place and Fenton
Street or as determined and approved by the City Engineer. The Applicant/Developer shall
bond for the signal improvement prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Area B.
6 -1.f7
The bond shall be in an amount equal to 200% of the engineer's estimate for development of
Area B. If signal plans are submitted prior to the first building permit for Area B with an
approved engineer's cost estimate, then the bond may be reduced to as low as 100% of the
estimated cost. The Applicant/Developer shall also provide one shared through/right-turn
lane and one left-turn lane on southbound (outbound) Showroom Place. The
Applicant/Developer shall also provide one left-turn lane and one right-turn lane on
northbound Fenton Street with right-turn overlap phasing.
Hotel and Office Buildings (Area C)
To identify potential traffic impacts associated with the development of the project, a Traffic Impact
Analysis was prepared by the traffic engineering firm of Linscott, Law & Greenspan (September
2007). The traffic study projected that the proposed hotel and office building will generate an
estimated total Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 3,950 driveway trips, with 429 trips occurring in the
AM peak hour (358 inbound and 71 outbound) and 436 trips occurring in the PM Peak hour (136
inbound and 300 outbound).
The proposed project will take access from an existing driveway on Fenton Street (see project site
plan Exhibit B). The City of Chula Vista Circulation Plan classifies Fenton Street as Class I
Collector. Otay Lakes Road will provide the east-west access to the site. Otay Lakes Road is
classified as a Six-Lane Major west of Paseo del Rey, and as a Six-Lane Prime Arterial from Paseo
del Rey to the SR 125 alignment.
Short-Term Impacts (Year 0 to 4)
Based on the traffic impact study results, in the near term with the project, all intersections are
calculated to operate at LOS D or better except the Otay Lakes Rd/V ons Driveway intersection,
which is calculated to continue to operate at LOS F during the PM peak hour. The impact at this
intersection is considered to be cumulative in nature. The following recommended traffic mitigation
would result in this intersection operating at a LOS C during the AM peak hour and LOS D during
the PM peak hour:
. Prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Area C the Applicant/Developer shall
pay the required amount of Transportation Development Impact Fees (TDIF) as confirmed
by the City ofChula Vista City Engineer to cover its share of the cost of improvements at the
intersection of Otay Lakes Rd/Vons Driveway, as described in the Project's Traffic Impact
Analysis (September 2007).
Long-Term Impacts (Horizon Year 2030)
Based on the traffic study, all intersections are calculated to operate at LOS D or better in the Year
2030, except the following:
. Otay Lakes Road/Vons Driveway (LOS E during the AM peak hour and LOS F during the
PM peak hour)
The mitigation measure proposed to address short term impacts for development of Area A & B
above will consequently adequately address the same identified long-term impact to this intersection.
6.:gS
Conclusion
The identified traffic impacts for Areas A, B and C have been adequately analyzed by the traffic
engineering finn of Linscott, Law & Greenspan and said analysis has been reviewed and approved by
the traffic engineering section of the City of Chula Vista. The implementation of the proposed
mitigation measures for the identified short term, long term, cumulative and direct traffic impacts
will result in acceptable levels of operation of these intersections.
Sewers
Sewer flows from the proposed project have been identified in the sewer capacity studies (August
2007) prepared by K&S Engineering for the existing Eastlake Design District (Area A) and for the
multi-story hotel and office building proposed for Area C. Any proposed change in land use
development of Area B would be subject to further sewer analysis as determined by the City
Engineer. The sewer study for the Design District (Area A) analyzed the existing development and
two proposed restaurants for the project site. The sewer study for Area C analyzed the proposed
flows of the hotel and office building. No further sewer analysis was performed either for Area B or
for additional restaurants that may be proposed for Area A. Based on the off-site sewer analysis for
Area A and C, the proposed projects as described above would not significantly impact the existing
off site downstream wastewater facilities and would not trigger additional sewer improvements.
However, additional sewer analysis would need to be performed by the applicant/developer, if there
is any change in land uses associated with the future development of Area B.
No adverse impacts to City sewer capacities or facilities are noted, therefore no mitigation is
required.

Comments:
a) The project sites are located in a developed area containing a mix of commercial, residential and industrial uses.
Immediately surrounding the project site are office buildings, industrial buildings, retail, residential, and roadways. The
projects will alter existing views, however there are no designated scenic vistas on or near the project sites. Therefore, no
impact to a scenic vista would occur as a result of this project.
b) The site was previously graded as part of a mass grading effort for the entire Business Center II. There are no scenic
resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, or designated historic bnildings on the project site or within the immediate
-project area. The Corporate Center (Area C) project is located along Otay Lakes Road, which is designated as a Scenic
Roadway by the City of Chula Vista. Scenic Roadways in the City of Chula Vista have unique roadway characteristics,
such as enhanced landscaping adjoining natural slopes and special design features that make traveling a pleasant visual
experience. The proposed project will not impact the existing slope ptanting or improvements along Otay Lakes Road and
therefore no impacts to the Scenic Roadway will occur. There are no State scenic highways in the project vicinity.
Therefore, there are no impacts related to this issue, and no mitigation is required.
c) The proposed project would improve the existing visual character and quality of the sites, which are currently vacant.
The Corporate Center (Area C) is envisioned as a well-designed and attractive urban deveiopment, consisting of a hotel
and office building. The Design Center will be reqnired to have further environmental review under CEQA when site-
specific development is proposed.
The Design Center (Area 'B) project will not degrade the existing visual character or" 'luality of the site and its
surroundings. Although the project will change the visual character of the site, it would not be considered degrading
given the use of the existing site. Mitigation measures include the review of the projects by the City of Chula Vista's
Design Review Board, observation of the special design objectives of the Design Guidelines for Eastlake Business Center
II Supplemental SPA and the City of ChuJa Vista Design Manual. Less than significant impacts to the visual character or
quality of the site and surroundings would result from the implementation of this project with the mitigation measures.
d.) Proper architectural design would ensure compliance with Section 19.66.100 of the Chula Vista
Municipal Code. Exterior lighting would not be directed upward and would be designed and installed
with appropriate shielding if necessary, to ensure that light does not spill horizontally beyond the
limits of the development area onto adjacent roadways, and surrounding residential uses.
Mitil!:ation: Mitigation Required. See SectionF of the MND.
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the
proj ect:

Comments:
a-e) Project site "C", where development is proposed has been previously mass graded. There are no known or
suspected seismic hazards associated with the project site. The project site lies about four miles west of the
La Nacion FaultZone (an inactive fault zone). The closest recently active fault is the Rose Canyon Fault,
located about 14 miles west of the site. The site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Special Studies
Zone. Therefore, project compliance with applicable Uniform Building Code standards would adequately
address any building safety/seismic concerns.
Geotechnics INC. prepared a GeotechnicaI/Soils report on August 2007. The report, approved by the City
Engineering Department, .states that no adverse geotechnical conditions were encountered which would
proInbit the proposed development of project site C. The preparation and submittal of a final soils report
will be required prior to the issuance of a grading permit as a standard engineering requirement.
In order to prevent silt discharge during construction, the developer wiIl required to comply with best
management practices in accordance with the NPDES General Construction Permit. The appropriate
standard erosion control measures would be identified in conjunction with preparation of final grading plans
and would be monitored and implemented during construction by the Engineering Division. Therefore, the
potential for the discharge of silt into city drainage systems would be less than significant.

Comments:
a) The project is located within an urban setting presently served by an utilities and service systems and would
not exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the RWQCB. Therefore, no adverse impacts to
wastewater treatment facilities would occur as a result of the proposed projeCt for Area C.
b) The proposal would not require new construction nor expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities.
Development of the p~oject win not impact existing water or wastewater treatment facilities.
c) No construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing faCilities would be necessary
as a result of the proposed project. The project is required to implement Best Management Practices to
prevent pollution of storm drainage systems and comply with the City Storm Water Management
Requirements therefore; environmental impacts would be less than significant
d) The project site is within the Otay Water District service territory. The Water District has provided a letter
stating that they have the capacity to serve the proposed proj ect.
e) The City of Chula Vista has sufficient wastewater capacity to serve this project. No impacts are noted.
f) The project win be served hy a local landfill that has adequate capacity.
g) The proposed project will comply with an state and local solid waste requirements. No impacts are noted.
Mitie:ation: No mitigation measures are required.

Comments:
a) The project would not induce population growth; therefore, no impacts to library facilities would result. No
adverse impact to the City's Library Threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project.
b) No adverse impact to the City's Police threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project
Police Department states that they can continue to provide service at current levels
c 2 According to the Fire Department, adequate fire protection and emergency medical services can continue to be
provided to the site. Although the Fire Department bas indicated they will provide service to the project, the
project will contribute to the incremental increase in fire service demand throughout the City. This increased
demand on fire services will not result in a significant cumulative impact No adverse impact to the City's Fire
threshold standards would occur as a result of the proposed project .
d) The surrounding street segments and intersections continue to operate in compliance with the City's Traffic
Threshold Standards at acceptable LOS levels with the exception of the intersections of Otay Lakes Road/V ons
Driveway and Showroom P!acelFenton Street, which operate at an LOS "F':.during PM peak hours with or
without the project. The intersection impacts to Otay Lakes Road/VonsDriveway are considered to be
cumulative. The traffic impacts to Showroom Place/Fention Street are considered to be direct Tn order to reduce
the cumulative and direct impacts, mitigation is required. See Mitigated Negative Declaration, Section F.
. .
.,,~
e) The prqject does not propose residential development; therefore, this Threshold Standard is not applicable.
f) The applicant proposes new drainage facilities on the project site in order to properly convey stormwater from the
developed site to existing city drainage facilities. No adverse impacts to the City's storm drainage system or
City's Drainage Threshold standards will occur as result of the proposed project
g) Based on the Sewer study prepared by K&S Engineering on August 2007, the Engineering Division has
determined that the existing sewer facilities are adequate to serve proposed project development on Area C and
existing and proposed development on Area A only. No new sewer facilities are anticipated to be required and no
adverse impacts to the City's Sewer Threshold standards will occur as a result of the proposed project.
h) Pursuant to correspondence received from the Otay Water District, the District has the terminal long-term water
storage capacity to serve the proposed proj ect Otay Water District indicates that water service can be provided at
the required pressures once the owner makes all necessary district deposits to cover engineering and inspection
costs. The existing domestic water services and fire service that currently service the project site are adequate and
will not need to be altered. Project impacts to the District's storage, treatment, and transmission facilities would
be less than significant.

and a Negative Declaration will be prepared. ..,
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the .
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the
project have been made or agreed to by the project proponent. A Mitigated Negative
Declaration will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment, and 0
an Environmental Impact Report is required.
I find that the proposed project may have a "potentially significant impacf' or ''potentially 0
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect: I) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)
has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as descnbed on
attached sheets. An Environmental Impact Report is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, 0
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
or Negative Declaration pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or Negative Declaration, including revisions or
&' mitigation m~es that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (MMRP)
Eastlake Business Center Development Proiect - IS-07 -015
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared by the City of Chula Vista
in conjunction with the proposed Eastlake Business Center Development project. The proposed
project has been evaluated in an Initial StudylMitigated Negative Declaration prepared in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City/State CEQA
Guidelines (IS-07-015). The legislation requires public agencies to ensure that adequate
mitigation measures are implemented and monitored for Mitigated Negative Declarations.
AB 3180 requires monitoring of potentially significant and/or significant environmental impacts.
The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for this project ensures adequate
implementation of mitigation for the following potential impacts(s):
1. Aesthetics
2. Air Quality
3. Paleontological
4. Hydrology and Water Quality
5. Noise
6. Transportation/Traffic
MONITORING PROGRAM
Due to the nature of the environmental issues identified, the Mitigation Compliance Coordinators
shall be the Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer of the City of Chula Vista.
The applicant shall be responsible to ensure that the conditions of the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program are met to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Coordinator and
City Engineer. The applicant shall provide evidence in written form confirming compliance with
the mitigation measures specified in Mitigated Negative Declaration IS-07-015 to the
Environmental Review Coordinator and City Engineer. The Environmental Review Coordinator
and City Engineer will thus provide the ultimate verification that the mitigation measures have
been accomplished.
Table I, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Checklist, lists the mitigation measures
contained in Section F, Mitigation Necessary to Avoid Significant Effects, of Mitigated Negative
Declaration IS-07-015, which will be implemented as part of the project. In order to determine if
. the applicant has implemented the measure, the method and timing of verification are identified,
along with the City department or agency responsible for monitoring/verifying that the applicant
has completed each mitigation measure. Space for the signature of the verifying person and the
date of inspection is provided in the last column.

1.1.1 Introduction & Background
1.1.1.1 Introduction
The EastLake II General Development Plan (GDP) provides a policy bridge between the Chula
Vista General Plan and the detailed planning provided in Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plans
for the EastLake II area (see Vicinity Map, Exhibit I).
This GDP establishes Land Use Districts and defines intensity of development permitted in each
district. This GDP is the second in a series of planning documents and programs that will guide
the development of the EastLake II area. The first being the Chula Vista General Plan.
Following the adoption of the General Plan and GDP, individual SPA Plans will further detail
the planning policies and programs that will administer and regulate development. The GDP and
the SPA Plans are required components of Planned Community (PC) Zoning and have been
established in accordance with Sections 65450 through 65553 of the State of California
Government Code and Sections 19.07.010 through 19.07.030 of the City of Chula Vista
Municipal Code and apply to the property outlined by the General Development Plan boundary
shown on Exhibit 2.
1.1.1.2 Background
The General Development Plan for EastLake I, which includes approximately forty percent of
the property, was established as the EastLake I General Development Plan in August 1982.
SPA's (neighborhoods) developed in EastLake I GDP area include EastLake Shores, EastLake
Hills, Salt Creek I, Village Center North, and the EastLake Business Center I and II. Refer to
Exhibits 2 and).
The EastLake Village Center North Supplemental SPA, includes Commercial , Office
Professional and Business Center. The component of the Village Center south of Otay Lakes
Road is included in the EastLake II SPA (Trails and Greens Neighborhoods) and is limited to
Commercial uses.
The second major increment of the EastLake Community was the planning of the EastLake
Greens and EastLake Trails neighborhoods, located east of the proposed alignment of SR-125,
between Otay Lakes Road, and Olympic Parkway. This second phase was merged with the
EastLake I GDP and the two areas are now known as the EastLake II GDP.

Record of Amendments
1.1.2.1
The 1994 General Development Plan Amendment
All of the original EastLake property has been annexed to the City. After that annexation,
EastLake made an exchange of property with the Otay Ranch involving parcels known as the
Land Swap Property. This amendment incorporated a portion of the Land Swap (22.7 acres) into
the EastLake Greens SPA for annexation to the City of Chula Vista. The balance of the Land
Swap Property is to be the subject of a future action.
In addition, the EastLake Greens SPA was originally proposed to contain five parcels for higher
density housing. These parcels were given an interim density designation in the SPA approval
process. This amendment revises these interim designations to permanent designations to
maintain the overall community character.
1.1.2.2
The 1995 Amendment
This amendment relocated one public and one private park in the southern part of EastLake
Greens to create more useable park sites. As a result of these park relocations, one residential
parcel was eliminated and a public/quasi-public site was enlarged. These changes reduced the
residential density in EastLake Greens by 133 units. Density transfers and boundary adjustments
were made as a result of these changes. One density transfer of significance was the conversion
of a parcel south of the EastLake High School from its "Interim Designation" to a permanent
designation of Medium-High, which is consistent with the General Plan for this parcel. No
changes to existing conditions were proposed in the northern portion of EastLake Greens,
EastLake Trails or EastLake I Planning Areas.
1.1.2.3
The 1998 Amendment
The amendment consisted of modirying and rearranging the EastLake Trails land uses and
incorporating 133.5 acres (Northern and Southern "Land Swap" Parcels) to the EastLake II GDP,
EastLake Greens SPA and associated regulatory documents. The following paragraphs describe
the amendment in more detail.
The Northern "Land Swap" Parcel - The Northern "Land Swap" parcel is designated for
Professional and Administrative Commercial in the General Plan, and the same land use
designation in the EastLake II GDP, (EastLake Greens Neighborhood).
The Southern "Land Swap" Parcel - The Southern "Land Swap" parcel is bisected by the
extension of EastLake Parkway creating two parcels. These two parcels are zoned PC and, under
the City's General Plan, have been designated Retail Commercial and Medium-High density
residential. The parcel west of EastLake Parkway was designated Freeway Commercial,
allowing large retail operations such as Home Depot, K-Mart, etc. The parcel east of EastLake
Parkway was merged with an 8.5 acre, Low-Medium density residential parcel, targeted for
45 dwellings, and a 6.3 acre Future Urban parcel located directly south. The combined parcels
will produce a 65 acre parcel with capacity for 750 dwelling units.
08123105
Amended 111l10?
1.1.2-1
General Development Plan I
EastLake Trails Neighborhood B Under the previously adopted EastLake II GDP, the EastLake
Trails was a 393.7 acre residential SPA designed to accommodate 1,260 dwelling units with
densities ranging from Low (0-3 dulac) to Medium-High Density (11-18 dulac). Retail
Commercial, Public/Quasi-public, Parks and Open Space land uses complement the residential
land uses.
The amendment featured basically the same land uses, except for the Retail Commercial and
Medium-High residential which were deleted. The new SPA establishes Low Density (0-3
du/ac), Low-Medium (3-6 du/ac) and Medium (6-11 du/ac) density residential land use districts,
in addition to support land uses such as: Community Purpose Facilities, Parks and Open Space,
and Public/Quasi-public sites.
1.1.2.4
The 1999 Amendment
The 1999 Amendment expanded the EastLake II GDP area to include the EastLake Business
Center II SPA which was previously within the EastLake III GDP. The phasing of development
and land use similarity made it more appropriate to include this SPA, comprised entirely of
employment uses within this GDP rather than the overwhelmingly single family residential
EastLake III GDP. A supplemental SPA Plan for the business center expansion area was
approved concurrently with the GDP amendment.
1.1.2.5
The 2002 Amendment
This amendmenfCinvolved the refinement of uses within the "Village Center North" area. The
retail commercial area north of Otay Lakes Road was amended from 36.9 acres to 38.1 acres. An
additional 13.6 acres of Professional and Administrative uses and 16.4 acres of Research &
limited Manufacturing are proposed. These additional areas were the result of the deletion of a
large Public/Quasi-public use. The amendment was triggered when the large hospital/medical
center complex previously intended to be developed within the Public/Quasi-public parcel north
of the retail commercial area was not pursued by the medical services sponsor. The amendment
resulted in an expansion of the area designated for retail commercial uses and designation of
Research and Limited Manufacturing (employment) uses on the remainder of the parcel located
between EastLake Parkway and SR-125. A Supplemental SPA Plan, Village Center North, and
related documents was processed concurrently with this GDP amendment for the areas with new
land use designations.
1.1.2.6 2003 Amendments
1.1.2.6.1 Land Swap Amendment (CPF/RM)
Ordinance No. 2905 (to amend PC District Regulations) Adopted 4/15/2003
Resolution No. 2003-140 (to amend GP/GDP/SPA and text language regarding CPF sites)
adopted 4/8/2003
This amendment involved the elimination of the CPF Site southwest of the SDG&E easement in
the EastLake Greens Neighborhood (Land Swap Area) of the EastLake II SPA, and a project-
wide update of the existing and proposed CPF sites. The Master Plan of CPF Sites and the text
describing CPF sites was updated to reflect this amendment and current City standards.

Goals & Objectives
1.1.3.1
Purpose & Intent
This section provides goals and objectives intended to guide the development of EastLake II
from inception through project completion. The attainment of some goals can only be measured
during later phases of the planning process. And, the attainment of many goals anticipate actions
by both the public and private sectors working together. One purpose of listing these goals and
objectives is to guide the preparation of this General Development Plan. A further purpose is to
use them during subsequent planning phases (e.g., SPA plan, PFFP, design guidelines, etc.) to
maintain consistency, assist in resolving issues and defining programs.
1.1.3.2 General Goals:
. To maintain and complete development of EastLake as an identifiable
"community" within the City of Chula Vista; a community comprising distinct
neighborhoods which provide human scale physical and social environment.
. To provide for adequate schools, parks and recreation facilities, "community
purpose facilities" and other public/quasi-public uses.
. Conceptually size and locate land and facilities required for dedication to public
or quasi-public purposes based on maximum residential development established
with the General Development Plan, while providing standards and guidelines to
refine sizes and locations as more detailed plans are prepared.
. Establish implementation phasing that provides or assures provision of public
facilities concurrent with residential development, recognizing that residential
development phases and public facility increments often do not coincide exactly.
. Adopt a balanced and dynamic community development plan with efficiently
organized elements.
. Organize and design the individual elements of the plan for public and private
efficiency.
. Recognize implementation and marketing factors in the allocation and phasing of
land uses in the General Development Plan and create an implementation process
that is consistent with those factors.
. Accommodate changing demographic patterns and cultural diversity in the plan.
1.1.3.3 Residential Goals:
. To promote reasonably priced new home opportunities, economic stability and the
enhancement of property values.
. Identify the private costs of public policies for housing and development and
balance them with the intended benefits to the community, recognizing these costs
are paid by new home buyers.

1.1.4 Purpose & Scope
This General Development Plan (GDP)establishes development parameters for the EastLake II
General Development Plan Area, which is illustrated in Exhibits 2 and 4. The GDP addresses
the distribution of land uses, circulation pattern, defines the overall community structure and
establishes development densities.
The purpose of the plan is as follows:
. Assure a high quality of development, consistent with the objectives of the
developer, City ofChula Vista, and community.
. Provide for orderly planning and long range development of the project to ensure
community compatibility.
. Preserve open space and natural amenities on the property whenever possible.
. Establish a planning and development framework to allow diverse land uses to
exist in harmony within the planned community and surrounding developments.
The GDP establishes land use districts for the site and defines in broad terms the type and
intensity of development permitted in each district.
The Environmental Impact Report prepared in conjunction with the General Development Plan
and subsequent amendments, fulfills the environmental review requirements for any proposed
development as long as the development is in conformance with the GDP.
The GDP is implemented through the adopted Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan, which is
more detailed. Therefore, the GDP is designed to function as a policy bridge between the City's
General Plan and the SPA Plan.
The EastLake II General Development Plan is established in accordance with Sections 65450
through 65553 of the State of California Government Code (Specific Plans) and Sections
19.07.010 through 19.07.030 of the City of Chula Vista Municipal Code, and applies to the
property outlined by the General Development Plan Map, included as Exhibit 4.

1.1.6 Regional Context
The Eastern Territories identified in the Chula Vista General Plan are primarily comprised of
several large planned communities. The planned community of EastLake was the first of these
significant developments to be planned and implemented as a comprehensive planned
community. It has evolved into two major implementation components, known as EastLake II
and EastLake III, which combined represent the lotal EastLake project. It has always been
envisioned as a complete community which included a full range of community components,
providing opportunities to live, work, shop, and play within one master planned community.
To compare EastLake II to the other three largest planned communities, the following table
provides the percentage allocation of land to uses comprising the live, work, shop, and play
concept.

1.1.7 Site Characteristics
The EastLake II General Development Plan consists of approximately 2,300 acres at the eastern
edge of the City's incorporation boundary. Otay Lakes Road bisects the planned community
from east to west dividing the GDP into two major areas. The area to the north, which includes
the EastLake Hills, EastLake Shores, and Salt Creek I residential neighborhoods and the
Business and Village Centers, is known as EastLake I SPA. The area south of Otay Lake Road
includes, from west to east, the EastLake Greens and EastLake Trails Neighborhoods. (See
Exhibit 3).
All surrounding properties are either developed, under development or planned for development.
The GDP area is bounded to the north by the Salt Creek Ranch and Rancho San Miguel planned
communities; to the west by Otay Ranch Village Five and a subdivision known as Telegraph
Canyon Estates; to the east by the EastLake III General Development Plan area; and to the south
by Otay Ranch Village Eleven, south of Olympic Parkway.
The project site is generally comprised of gently rolling topography with the Salt Creek corridor
forming the predominate geographic feature. The rounded features of the site reflect the years of
plowing and discing associated with its historical dry farming use. Localized views to Salt Creek
and adjacent hillsides available from hillside locations. The range in elevation is approximately
I 50 feet from the creek bed to hilltop.
Salt Creek is also the significant natural resource on the site. The southernmost portion has been
identified as an environmentally sensitive area because of its biological and wildlife habitat
value, and aesthetic value. The original EastLake EIR (EIR 81-03) biological survey of the area
identified sensitive resources within Salt Creek and in the southernmost portions of the site. No
significant archaeological or cultural resources have been identified in several surveys of the
project site. Currently, most adjacent properties have been developed.

Land Use
The General Development Plan designates a wide range of residential densities, residential
support uses, commercial and employment uses. Residential support uses are found within the
Public/Quasi-Public (PQ) category. These uses include schools, utility sites, and other
community facilities. A significant amount of employment uses (professional and
Administrative, and Research and Limited Manufacturing) is designated in the north-central
portion of the plan area. Commercial areas are designated adjacent to the planned SR-125
interchanges at Otay Lakes Road and Olympic Parkway. See Exhibit 4, the General
Development Plan Map.
Additional land use detail and statistics are included in the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan
as the Site Utilization Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide a more specific level of detail
of uses included as broad categories in the General Development Plan.
1.1.8.2
Planned Community District Regulations
With respect to development standards and use regulations, the Planned Community (PC)
District Regulations provide detailed standards that are applicable to each parcel of land. These
Planned Community District Regulations, as a component of the General Development Plan for
the EastLake 11 (expanded EastLake I) provide the primary development regulations for all four
SPA Plans within the GDP area. Within the Planned Community District Regulations, the Land
Use Districts exhibit, provides the geographic distribution of the various land use districts.
1.1.8.3
Plan Summary
The project consists of five residential neighborhoods: EastLake Hills, EastLake Shores,
EastLake Greens, EastLake Trails, and Salt Creek 1. The project includes sites for necessary
public facilities including a high school, two community parks and three elementary school sites
to be shared with EastLake Ill.
Detailed development policies, standards and programs are provided in SPA Plans to assure
well-planned, quality development, conservation of important onsite resources and provision of
adequate and timely public services and facility improvements to serve the project.

Plan Summary / Statistics
1.1.9.1
Statistical Summary
The statistics on the following pages, in Table B Land Use and Table C Residential Densities,
are based on the overall General Development Plan and detailed by SPA Plan area. In the event
that the statistics on these tables vary, due to density transfers or refinements, from any adopted
SPA Site Utilization Plan map the SPA Plan shall prevail.
1.1.9.2
Density Transfer
In order to promote flexibility in residential densities, the transfer of dwelling units from one
residential category to another within any SPA may be approved as a part of the SPA plan
approval process. Notwithstanding this provision, the clustering provisions of the General Plan
Update shall be utilized to maintain the community character inherent in the density categories
established by this General Development Plan.
Transfers of density shall be based on evidence that the proposed transfer would substantially
improve the spatial or functional relationships of the involved SPA, or would materially increase
the quality of land use, circulation or conservation pattern thereof. Transfers of density into the
low density category should not result in a reduction in lot size requirements.
Transfer of units from one parcel to another within the same SPA may be processed
administratively if:
I. the proposed unit count for all parcels remains within the range (s) indicated on
the Site Utilization Plan;
2. the proposed product types are consistent with those listed for each parcel on the
Site Utilization Plan; and,
3. the GDP and SPA total number of dwelling units is not exceeded. Modification
which are not consistent with all these criteria shall require a formal SPA
amendment.
Should such a transfer be approved, applicable statistics and the General Development Plan Map
shall be revised as an administrative matter without the necessity of a formal plan amendment.

This section describes the conformance of the project with the Chula Vista General Plan; the
history of the project to various General Plan updates, and; the relationship of the project to the
specific elements of the General Plan. Implementation of this GDP shall be consistent with the
requirements of the General Plan. Specific implementation and phasing strategies have been,
and will be, provided in the various SPA Plans which comprise EastLake II GDP Planning Area.
1.1.10.2 Background & History
When the planning of EastLake began in 1979 the General Plan for the Eastern Territories had
not been developed to its current state, since development of a new community on the scale of
EastLake had not been conceived prior to that time. Individual development proposals were
incrementally added as amendments to the General Plan. The approval of EastLake I, which
included the now existing communities of EastLake Shores, EastLake Hills, and the first phase
ofthe EastLake Business Center, was one of these incremental general plan amendments adopted
in 1982.
The submittal of plans for the next phase of EastLake community planning, EastLake Greens and
EastLake Trails, occurred prior to the comprehensive General Plan update, but was not adopted
until 1989. This planning was reflected in the General Plan and adopted as the EastLake II GDP.
The categories were broad interpretations of the specific planning being proposed for these
neighborhoods. The EastLake Greens neighborhood submittal included a SPA Plan concurrently
with the General Plan and GDP. The EastLake Trails neighborhood only included the
concurrent processing of the EastLake II GDP.
The next update of the General Plan in EastLake occurred when the EastLake III GDP area was
approved, bringing the Olympic Training Center to Chula Vista in 1990. A GDP was adopted
and reflected in a concurrent General Plan amendment.
The most recent major amendment to the General Plan for the EastLake community occurred in
2005 as a city-wide General Plan Update (GPU), which changed the land use designation in a
portion of Village Center north from Industrial to Commercial. This GPU amendment included
the 2005 amendment to this General Development Plan.

The General Plan amendments and updates for EastLake reflect a consistent process of evolution
since its original conception as a new community. All have been amendments adopted
concurrently with more detailed development proposals. The current proposed amendment to
the General Plan for the EastLake Trails neighborhood is the most recent example of this
process. This concurrent planning process has maintained an ongoing consistency between the
General Plan and the GDPs and SPAs.

neighborhoods of the EastLake II GDP consist of the Salt Creek I, Hills, Shores, Business Center
I and II, Greens/Land Swap and the Trails.
The Salt Creek I neighborhood is located north and south of East "H" Street, east of the future
SR-125 freeway alignment. The General Plan designates this neighborhood Medium-High
Residential (11-18 dulac). The GDP land use designation and maximum number of dwelling
units allowed on this site is about 7.6 dulac which is below the General Plan permitted density.
The Hills neighborhood located north of "H" Street is designated Low Residential (0-3 dulac),
Low-Medium (3-6 dulac) and Open Space with an elementary school. The GDP consists of
single family residential and open space uses consistent with the land use pattern established by
the General Plan. The EastLake Elementary School and park are located as indicated on the
General Plan Land Use Plan. The neighborhood overall density is approximately 3.0 dulac,
which is at the lower end of the General Plan designation.
The Shores neighborhood located south of "H" Street is designated a wide range of residential
densities including Low-Medium (3-6 dulac) , Medium (6-11 dulac), Medium-High (11-18
dulac), and High (18-27 dulac). The GDP land use is consistent with the various densities
arranged around the private lake which is shown on the General Plan as Public/Quasi-Public and
Water. There is also a small portion of open space reflecting the canyons to the southwest of the
residential neighborhoods. The overall neighborhood density is approximately 11 du lac, which
is at the low end of the General Plan density range for this area.
The Village Center is located north of Otay Lakes Road and is designated Retail Commercial in
the GDP. The Village Center is consistent with the General Plan and is intended to be developed
as a Commercial-Retail plus a minor area of Research & Limited Manufacturing.. The adjacent
area on the east side of EastLake Parkway is designated Professional and Administrative and is
designated in the GDP for professional and administrative uses.
The first phase of the EastLake Business Center is located in EastLake II General Development
Plan and is designated Research and Limited Manufacturing on the General Plan. This area is
planned to accommodate a broad range of business and industrial uses in the GDP to provide
local employment opportunities to the community.

The Greens neighborhood is designated for a wide range of residential, retail commercial and
public uses on the General Plan. The GDP designates the area at the southwest corner of Otay
Lakes Road and EastLake Parkway as retail commercial to provide for a community shopping
center. The residential uses vary, including, Low-Medium (3-6 du/ac) Medium (6-11 dulac). and
Medium-High (11-18 dulac). The overall neighborhood density is about 7.2 dulac, which is well
within the average density of the General Plan.

1.1.10-2
General Development Plan I
The public uses on the General Plan designate an area for a high school, community park,
elementary school, neighborhood park, water utility reservoir, and freeway commercial. The
southern portion of the "Land Swap" includes Medium-High Residential and Freeway
Commercial. The northern portion of the "Land Swap" includes professional and administrative
area on Otay Lakes Road. The GDP is consistent with the pattern of land uses designated on the
General Plan. The focal point of the Greens neighborhood is the EastLake Golf Course which is
integrated within the residential neighborhood. Residential densities are varied throughout the
GDP as permitted by the General Plan with the overall density within the acceptable range.
The Trails neighborhood is designated Low-Medium (3-6 du/ac), with open space, elementary
school, neighborhood park, and a small neighborhood commercial center at the comer of Otay
Lakes Road and Hunte Parkway. The commercial center is no longer included in the GDP and
will be eliminated. The GDP adjusts the location of the elementary school, which is permissible
by the General Plan, and designated the Salt Creek Open Space Corridor as a community park
which will serve both the EastLake II General Development Plan, but also the EastLake III
General Development Plan area. The proposed density of 5.1 du/ac is consistent with the
General Plan density range.
1.1.10.3.2 Circulation Element
The General Plan Circulation Element designates four major road facilities to serve the EastLake
II General Development Plan. SR 125 is planned as a major freeway/toll road providing regional
access to the area by connecting the Otay Mesa Border Crossing to freeways to the north such as
SR-54, and 1-8. The GDP provides the future right of way needed for SR-125.
The General Plan also designates three Prime Arterial roadways providing east west access to the
area from 1-805: "H" Street, Otay Lakes Road and Olympic Parkway. Each of these roads
requires a right of way to accommodate 4 lanes of traffic with raised medians. EastLake
Parkway and Hunte Parkway are shown as major roads (4 lanes) and several local streets are
designated as collector roads. All General Plan roads are shown on the GDP and adequate
provisions are included to accommodate traffic generated by the development.
1.1.10.3.3 Parks & Recreation and Conservation/Open Space Elements
The General Plan designates a community park on EastLake Parkway adjacent to the high school
and two neighborhood parks in the Greens and Trails neighborhoods. There are also major open
space corridors shown along the north side of the Hills which reflects steep topography and also
along Salt Creek in the Trails neighborhood. The Hills open space is treated as natural open
space in the GDP, however, the Salt Creek Open Space is planned for a combination of
community park, mitigation areas for habitat protection and a private homeowner's swim
complex and fishing lake. This combination of public and private park and open space uses is
consistent with the General Plan Open Space land use category.
The neighborhood parks are located within the Greens and the Trails neighborhoods and the
GDP supplements these park facilities with a number of private park facilities which include
swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, picnic facilities, community meeting facilities
and tot lots located within the residential neighborhoods. The Trails neighborhood park will be
incorporated into Ie the Salt Creek Community Park, which actually provides more park land
than shown on the General Plan for EastLake II GDP.

1.1.10.3.4 Public Facilities Element
The Public Facilities Element provides policy guidance for all development projects. It
addresses water, sewer, drainage, hazardous waste disposal, schools and libraries. The EastLake
II General Development Plan implementation documents will provide detailed plans for the
provision of public facilities in accordance with adopted Master Plans and the City's Quality of
Life Threshold Standards.
This GDP must prepare a comprehensive Public Facilities Financing Plan for each neighborhood
to identify the public facilities to be provided by the developer to serve the development. Water
plans for each neighborhood are approved by the Otay Municipal Water District and required
facilities must be financed by the developer. Sewer plans are required to conform to the City's
Sewer Master Plan and facilities such as transmission mains and pump stations are made
conditions of tentative maps. Drainage facilities are designed on the basis of master drainage
plans and financed and made conditions of the development.
Hazardous wastes must be disposed of in accordance with State requirements of the Department
of Health Services and the County Hazardous Materials Management Division. The only facility
in Chula Vista is located at the Otay LandfilL
Master plans for both the elementary school district and the high school district provide the site
locations for schools designated on the General Plan. The GDP includes these school sites on
the land use map and the Public Facilities Financing Plans provide the phasing and financing
implementation necessary to construct schools in accordance with the school districts
enrollments.
1.1.10.3.5 Housing Element
The Housing Element requires that all major projects shall construct 5% low income housing
and 5% moderate income housing consistent with the HUD guidelines based on size and family
incomes. The GDP addressed this requirement and lays out the framework for an Affordable
Housing Agreement which implements the General Plan policy for each neighborhood. The
EastLake II General Development Plan provides for 5% low income housing and 5% moderate
income housing in accordance with the General Plan.
1.1.10.3.6 Safety Element
The City of Chula Vista provides for public safety and seismic protection through a variety of
mechanisms addressed in the GDP and implementation programs. Fire stations are located in the
GDP based on travel times to respond in case of fire or medical emergencies. Water supplies are
engineered to accommodate peak demand periods. Streets are designed with adequate widths
and safe routes for emergency vehicles. Building codes ensure the safety of buildings and
seismic studies of fault lines to identify appropriate setbacks and other safeguards in the event of
an earthquake. New development planned in this GDP is in conformance with all of the life and
property protections contained in the General Plan and implementing building codes and fire
codes.

The Noise Element requires that the City apply noise protection standards which recognize the
right of every citizen to live and work in a safe environment without excessive noise. Noise
studies are carried out in conjunction with the environmental impact report requirements for
GDP's to identify setbacks or noise buffers for sensitive areas within the development. These
measures are carried out in the development of the project. There are no identified major noise
generators located within the GDP and the development is consistent with the policies of the
General Plan.

This GDP will be used by the City and the developer to ensure that development occurs in an
orderly fashion and that public facilities are provided concurrent with need while, at the same
time, providing flexibility to allow the developer to respond to changing market conditions. The
conceptual phasing information has been and will be presented in SPA Plan to be developed
primarily for the purposes of determining preliminary circulation and public facility
requirements. The objective of these phasing plans is that public facilities will be provided
concurrent with need and in accordance with the threshold standards established by the City of
Chula Vista.
1.1.11.2 Community Facilities & Improvements
Specific community facility requirements will be identified for each SPA Plan. The following
standards have been established for community facilities.
. Circulation: Development within EastLake II shall comply with the City's Level
of Service "C" requirement for the operation of circulation element roads. A
transportation phasing plan consistent with the City's Growth Management
Element shall be incorporated into the SPA Plans to ensure that level of service
standards are met.
. Water: A detailed water master plan shall be prepared in conjunction with each
SPA Plan. The water master plan shall be subject to review and approval by the
Dtay Water District.
. Sewer: A detailed sewer master plan shall be prepared in conjunction with each
SPA Plan. The sewer master plan shall include consideration of reclaimed water
and shall be subject to review and approval by the City of Chula Vista.
. Drainage: A conceptual drainage plan shall be included in each SPA Plan. The
conceptual drainage plan shall, in particular, address drainage areas in Salt Creek.
Drainage plans for individual developments shall be prepared to the satisfaction
of the City Engineer.
. Fire and Police: Each SPA Plan shall define specific facility requirements for
fire and police protection to the satisfaction of the Chula Vista Police and Fire
Departments.
. Schools: School facility requirements shall be defined in EastLake II GDP and
each subsequent SPA Plan to the satisfaction of the Chula Vista Elementary
School District and the Sweetwater Union High School District. Three
elementary school sites and one high school site are provided within the EastLake

Chapter 19.48. P-C - Planned Community Zone, requires that all land in the PC zone provide a
minimum of 1.39 acres of land per 1,000 persons for community purpose facilities (CPF), such
as: a) Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and similar organizations; b) social and human service activities,
such as Alcoholics Anonymous; c) serVices for the homeless; d) services for military personnel
during the holidays; e) senior care and recreation; I) Worship, spiritual growth and development,
and teaching of traditional family values; g) non-profit or for profit day care facilities that are
ancillary to any ofthe above or as a primary use. For profit facilities as, primary use are subject
to further requirements and additional criteria as outlined in Section 19.48.025 (I); h) private
schools that are ancillary to any of the above; i) interim uses, subject to the findings outlined in
19.48.025(E); andj) recreational facilities, such as ball fields for non-profit organizations serving
the local community, subject to the requirements outlined in 19.48.040(B)(6)(d). However,
where recreational ball fields are desired as a conditional use in Community Purpose Facilities
land use districts, a "CPF Master Plan", showing the specific boundaries of the master plan and
existing and proposed distribution of CPF uses within a SPA, GDP or overall Planned
Community shall be considered and approved by the Director of Planning and incorporated as
part of the Planned Community's General Development Planes). In addition, recreational ball
fields shall not utilize more than 35% of the overall SPA, GDP or Planned Community CPF
acreage required, and no park credit may be granted for community purpose ball fields.
The total acreage required may be reduced by the City council in certain circumstances such as
when shared parking facilities are available with other facilities.
1.1.11.3.2 Proposed CPF Master Plan
The CPF Master Plan boundaries encompass EastLake Greens (including the "Land Swap"
Parcels), EastLake Trails, EastLake Business Center II, EastLake Vistas and EastLake Woods
(see Exhibit 5). Four sites are distributed throughout the remaining SPAs insuring that each
future CPF site will serve a different neighborhood. In addition, the sites are located along major
road to enhance accessibly to the facility by community residents.
Based upon the anticipated development statistics for the CPF Master Plan area, the overall
combined CPF acreage required and proposed is as follows:

11.2.1 INTRODUCTION
11.2.1.1 Background, Scope and Purpose ofthe Plan
EastLake Business Center II is an expansion of the original EastLake Business Center
established in the EastLake I SPA approval in 1985 and will complete the anticipated
employment/industrial and supporting complimentary commercial uses to be developed within
the Planned Community of EastLake. It continues the eastward development pattem established
with the prior neighborhoods. (Refer to Exhibit 2.)
As an increment to the overall EastLake community, EastLake Business Center II Supplemental
SPA is, to a large extent, an extension of the existing development both in design and planning
policy/regulations. Because it is a relatively minor addition, it is being planned as "supplement"
to the existing EastLake I SPA. This SPA plan relies upon established policies, programs and
regulations to a greater extent than other EastLake SPAs. It also provides more implementation
flexibility to avoid the necessity of formal plan amendments for minor plan adjustments.
This Supplementary Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan defines the development parameters for
the EastLake Business Center II development increment, including the land use designation,
design criteria, basic circulation pattern, and infrastructure requirements. Additionally, the
character and form of the business center will be implemented through a series of guidelines and
development standards prescribed in the EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations,
EastLake Business Center II Design Guidelines and other associated regulatory documents.
The purpose of the Supplemental SPA Plan, as with all EastLake SPAs, is to:
A. Assure a high quality of development, consistent with City and Community goals
and objectives.
B. Create an economically viable plan that can be realistically implemented within
current and projected economic conditions.
C. Provide for orderly planning and long-range development of the project to ensure
community compatibility.
D. Facilitate adequate provision for community facilities, such as transportation,
water, flood control, and sewage disposal; and, provide adequate assurance to the
Developer that approved development will be allowed in a timely and
economically viable manner.
E. Preserve open space and natural amenities on the property where appropriate and
possible.
F. Establish a planning and development framework which will allow diverse land
uses to exist in harmony within the community.
The SPA plan, once approved, is the implementation tool of the General Development Plan. It
establishes design criteria for the site and defines precisely the type and amount of development
permitted. It establishes the City's standards for that development including open space
provisions and major improvements to be constructed by the developer.

SUDDlemental Sectional Plannin2 Area (SPA)
Amended 1111107
The Planned Community District Regulations adopted as part of this SPA serve as an important
tool through which the City will review and evaluate schematic, preliminary and final drawings
of each individual project to be built in the Planned Community.
This Supplemental SPA Plan as a requirement and site-specific implementing document for the
City of Chula Vista PC Zone, supersedes the "standard" requirements of the City Zoning
Ordinance. In the case of a conflict between the provisions of the SPA plan and other regulations
or policies, the SPA Plan provisions shall apply. If a topic is not addressed by this SPA Plan,
then appropriate City regulations shall apply.
Document Organization
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA plan contains six documents or components
approach: 1) SPA Plan; 2) Planned Community District Regulations; 3) Design Guidelines; 4)
Public Facilities Financing Plan; 5) Air Quality Improvement Plan; and 6) Water Conservation
Plan. A development agreement section has also been incorporated as a companion to this
document. The purpose of these documents is as follows:
Supplemental SPA Plan
The purpose of the SPA plan is to define, in more detail than the City's General Plan and
EastLake II General Development Plan (GDP), the development parameters for the
Business Center II project area, including the land use, urban design criteria, circulation
pattern, open space concept and infrastructure requirements to support the project and
overall community.
Planned Communitv District Regulations
The Planned Community District Regulations, which are adopted by Ordinance pursuant
to title 19 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code, and are intended to implement the Chula
Vista General Plan, EastLake II General Development Plan and EastLake Business
Center II Supplemental SPA Plan, establish land use districts and standards to classify,
regulate, restrict and separate the use of land, building and structures, and regulate and
limit the type, height and bulk of buildings and structures in the various land use districts.
These standards are established to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of
the citizens of Chula Vista; to safeguard and enhance the appearance and quality of
development of EastLake I and II, and to provide the social, physical and economic
advantages resulting from comprehensive and orderly planned use ofland resources.
Design Guidelines
This document is a manual to guide the building and landscape design within the
Business Center II SPA to ensure that the quality of the adopted urban design and
architectural concept established for the overall EastLake Planned Community are

11.2.1.3 Location and Regional Setting
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA is located in the eastern portion ofthe Chula
Vista City limits. The site is located immediately east of the existing Business Center I
components of the EastLake I SPA, on the north side of Otay Lakes Road approximately 8 miles
east of the Chula Vista Civic Center. Exhibit I illustrates the location of EastLake Business
Center II in relationship_w~ithin the overall EastLake community.
The location of the EastLake Business Center II SPA within the overall EastLake Planned
Community is depicted in Exhibit 2. The entire community has been zoned "Planen~d
Community" (PC) and designated for a range of urban uses defined in two General Development
Plans (GDPs) identified as the EastLake II GDP (includes the Eastlake I SPA) and the EastLake
III GDP.
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA planning area is defined by a major
circulation route, Otay Lakes Road on the south, the planned community of Rolling Hills Ranch
boundary on the north, existing EastLake Business Center I on the west and the EastLake Woods
neighborhood to the east.
11.2.1.4 Community Structure
The primary community structure/design issues for the expansion area are appropriate edge
conditions: scenic edge at Otay Lakes Road; buffer edges at the east and north; and, a blending
edge on the west adjoining the existing Business Center. The new entry from Otay Lakes Road
will also help define/reinforce the identity and location of the Business Center as a whole in the
EastLake Community. Exhibit 3, Community Structure, indicated the following described
elements:
Blending Edge
This identifies the primary entry to Business Center
II. Fenton Street will contain a median at this
location and additional landscaping and signing will
be used to further enhance this intersection's
importance.
The theme trees along this corridor will continue
through Business Center IIdl-xcept their location
will be exterior of the contiguous sidewalk in an
additional landscape zone.
There are buffer edges along the northern and
eastern boundaries. The buffer along the eastern
edge will be primarily dense landscaping at the top
of slope within the future SPA to the east. Along
the northern edge special setbacks and landscaping
is proposed. Refer to the PC District Regulations
and Design Guidelines.
The blending edge identifies the concept to blend
the existing landscape along the common borders
between Business Center I & II.

11.2.1.7 Related Documents
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA contains six documents or components
approach: I) SPA Plan; 2) Planned Community District Regulations; 3) Design Guidelines; 4)
Public Facilities Financing Plan; 5) Air Quality Improvement Plan; and 6) Water Conservation
Plan. A development agreement section has also been incorporated as a companion to this
document.
Prior to the preparation of this plan, the Chula Vista General Plan and EastLake II General
Development Plan established the broad policy level standards and requirements for planning the
EastLake Business Center II. The GDP also quantified the development intended within the
SP A and established the CP Zoning implementation process.
All of the other documents which are components of the SPA plan package (design guidelines,
public facility financing plan, etc.) are prepared concurrently and based on this SPA plan.
Project CEQA documents are also prepared concurrently to document potential environmental
impacts and identify mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate such impacts.
Subsequent to the approval of all the SPA level documents, subdivision maps and improvement
plans will be prepared. These will provide the necessary details to actually construct the project
described by the SPA level documents. These plans, the construction process and ultimate
uses/activities within the SPA are required to be consistent with the applicable provisions of this
Supplemental SPA Plan and related documents.

11.2.2 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
11.2.2.1 Design Influences
The primary influences in developing the EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA Plan
were the Chula Vista General Plan and EastLake II General Development Plan, the EastLake I
SP A Plan and adjacent existing and planned development to the north, west and south, and the
natural landform characteristics of the site. The primary design influences for the project are
depicted in Exhibit 3.
Site Characteristics and Visual Context
The project site is generally comprised of gently rolling topography toward the Salt
Creek Greenbelt corridor off-site to the east. The rounded features of the site reflect the
years of plowing and discing associated with its historical dry farming use. Localized
views to Salt Creek and adjacent hillsides are available from hillside locations. The
range in elevation is approximately 50 feet from the hilltops to SPA boundary. There are
manufactured slopes along the western boundary.
Northerly and easterly and existing and future residential developments. The residential
proposed to the east will be significantly below Business Center II. To the north the
Business Center is slightly above the residential development and, except for a few
residential lots along the northeastern boundary, is separated by open space lots.
Surrounding Land Uses
Existing development adjacent to the EastLake Business Center II SPA includes Otay
Lakes Road on the south. This arterial roadway is not only the major circulation route
serving the site, but it also contains major sewer, water and storm drain systems to which
the project must connect. Residential properties to the north are currently developed or
under development, as noted earlier in the planned community of Rolling Hills Ranch.
The residential to the east has been planned for Low-Medium Density Residential in the
adopted EastLake III General Development Plan as part of the Woods neighborhood. To
the south across Otay Lakes Road is the existing development known as EastLake
Greens. The Chula Vista General Plan and adopted General Development Plans have
designated the Business Center II area as a planned business center prior to the
implementation of any adjacent residential development.
11.2.2.2 Land Use Pattern
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA is designed entirely as an employrnent/light
industrial park with supporting and complimentary commercial (see Site Utilization Plan Exhibit
5) which extends the permitted uses eastward from the existing Business Center.
11.2.2.3 Administrative AdjustmentsIDensity Transfer
The SPA Plan provides guidance for future development at the subdivision and improvement
plan level, and is the basic reference for determining permitted land uses and required public
facilities. These are illustrated in the Site Utilization Plan, Exhibit 5, which is the key map for
this SPA Plan.
Amended 11/1/07
II-I
Suoolemental Seetiorial Pla11ninl! Area (SpA)
Even though the SPA Plan contains specific guidance for development, it is not intended to be
used in a manner which predetermines the development solution for each and every parcel. It is
intended to be used as a basic guide which reflects the City's intent for determining the intensity,
design and desired character of use for the property. The development parcel and interior
circulation arrangement indicated on the Site Utilization Plan is conceptual. Minor
modifications to these configurations may occur as a part of the tentative tract map approval
process. Modifications to the SPA Plan exhibits and text, to reflect adjustments based on an
approved tentative tract map, shall be accomplished without a formal SPA amendment.

11.2.3.1
CIRCULATION
Introduction
The EastLake Business Center II Circulation Plan is almost completely an extension of the
existing circulation routes within the EastLake I and includes both vehicular and non-vehicular
circulation routes. The plan provides for the basic internal circulation systems to serve the
proposed development areas. The circulation plan is also consistent with the community-wide
network established by the EastLake II General Development Plan and in accordance with the
City of Chula Vista General Plan.
The SPA Plan Public Facilities Financing Plan (see Chapter II, Section 11.5 Public Facilities
Financing Plan) details a transportation phasing plan with specific improvements and timing of
circulation improvements to maintain the levels of service established in the City's Threshold
Standards in the City's Growth Management Element of the General Plan.
Specific project access points, and internal circulation, including bicycle, pedestrian, hiking and
road crossings will be determined by the City Engineer during the tentative tract map process.
Variations to the concepts herein may occur where safety or efficiency can be enhanced.
11.2.3.2 Project Access
Primary access to the project will be provided from Otay Lakes Road. Secondary access is
provided through the extension of Fenton Street from the existing Business Center which also
connects to Otay Lakes Road via Lane Avenue and EastLake Parkway. Regional access is
provided from the west by I-80S via Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road. The future
construction of SR-125 immediately west of the EastLake Greens SPA will provide additional
north-south regional access.
Currently, Otay Lakes Road exists at the southern project edge, having been constructed in
conjunction with previous EastLake Greens SPA development. Otay Lakes Road extends to the
east, past the project site and beyond Otay Lakes, as a two lane road.
11.2.3.3 Project Circulation Network
The internal circulation network is conceptually shown on the Circulation/Street Sections Plan
(Exhibit 6). The internal circulation concept is to provide an efficient traffic conduit through the
site while providing adequate access for all potential development sites. The public street system
shown may be supplemented internal circulation systems, particularly on larger development
sites.
The need for intersection signalization and/or limits on turning movements shall be made by the
City Engineer based on anticipated volumes and safety needs.

11.2.3.4 Street Standards
Street standards for the arterial roads at the periphery of the SPA have been established in the
Circulation Element of the Chula Vista General Plan and previous project development
approvals. Internal streets will be constructed to meet City engineering standards. The
Circulation/Street Section plan (Exhibit 6) indicates the proposed street sections. The final
improvement designs, including any deviations from design standards, will be determined as a
part of the subdivision approval process.
11.2.3.5 Phasing of Road Improvements
The phasing of community development concurrent with provision of adequate road capacity and
access improvements is fully described in the Public Facilities and Financing Plan (Chapter II,
Section II.5 of the SPA Plan package). These improvements have been phased and designed to
maintain an adequate level of service in the circulation system serving the EastLake Business
Center II project area and surrounding community throughout the development process. The
provision of adequate internal circulation improvements is expected to be controlled via
subdivision map conditions.
11.2.3.6 Transit Planning Principles
Transit stops will be strategically located near vehicular and pedestrian main access points
through evaluations with the City's transit coordinator. Sites will be planned based on the
following principles, which may be used in determining appropriate final locations:
1. Where there are numerous major pedestrian generators, access to stops for transit
vehicles moving in both directions is facilitated by locating transit stops near
intersections with striped crosswalks.
2. Transit stops should be located and walkways designed to provide access as
directly as possible without impacting residential privacy.
3. At intersection points of two or more transit routes, stops should be located to
minimize walking distance between transfer stops.
4. Transit vehicle conflicts with automobile traffic can be reduced by locating bus
turnouts at the far side of intersections in order to permit right-turning vehicles to
continue movement.
5. Transit stops should be provided with adequate walkway lighting and well-
designed shelters.
6. Walkway ramps should be provided at transit stops to ensure accessibility to the
handicapped and must be designed to be A.D.A. compliant.
11.2.3.7 Trails, Edges and Buffers
Thematic Corridor Link
The EastLake Community Trail (Thematic Corridor) which extends from EastLake Hills through
the developed portion of the EastLake Planned Community to its current terminus at the end of
Fenton Street, will also be extended with the street extension. This is a special landscaped trail
Amended 11/1/07

SUIlDlemental Sectional Plannin2 Area (SPA)
for pedestrians connects the major community destinations within EastLake. The Thematic
Corridor also includes an on-street bicycle lane. Refer to Exhibits 6 and 7.
Scenic Highway Edge
Existing Otay Lakes Road is designated as a scenic highway. The treatment of this scenic
highway shall reflect the landscape treatment that currently exists along it's southern boundary
within the Greens SPA. This highway includes a meandering walk and an on-street bicycle trail.
Refer to Exhibit 7.
Residential Edge
The northern residential edge abutting the Rolling Hills Ranch SPA will have increased building
setbacks and require dense landscaping along the upper portion of slope banks and within a ten
foot landscape setback within the abutting lots. There shall be a requirement, prior to the
issuance of the first building permit for any lot abutting Rolling Hills Ranch, that a Master
Landscape Plan be approved by the Director of Planning for the slopes abutting Business Center
II and Rolling Hills Ranch. This plan shall be offered to the Rolling Hills Ranch developers for
comment and may include provisions for off-site tree planting to reduce the visual impact of
Business Center II buildings as viewed from the adjacent homes. Refer to the Design Guidelines
for location and criteria for this Master Landscape Plan. Refer to Exhibit 7.
The eastern residential edge is significantly higher than expected residential development in
EastLake III GDP, but will also require dense landscaping along the upper portion of the
Business Center lots and downslope. Refer to the Design Guidelines for additional detail. Refer
to Exhibit 7.

11.2.4 GRADING
11.2.4.1 Introduction
The Land Use Element of the Chula Vista General Plan states that the mesas, hilltops and gently
rolling topography offer the best sites for development. Steeply sloped hillsides and valleys can
serve as open space/greenbelt resources, linking the developed areas which they intersect. For
the EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA, no on-site areas have been identified as such
a greenbelt resource. Development sites within the SPA should be graded to blend with and
create an aesthetically pleasing development site consistent with current or proposed grading of
adjacent areas and the Otay Lakes Road scenic corridor.
11.2.4.2 Grading Concept
The SPA level grading plan for the EastLake Business Center II is intended to provide a
preliminary grading concept, identifying slope bank locations and necessary maintenance provi-
sions. The preliminary grading design is as indicated on the Grading Concept, Exhibit 8.
The grading concept is based on the following objectives:
. Consistency with existing or proposed grading on adjacent properties.
. Creating efficient man-made landforms that visually respond to natural terrain
characteristics where practical.
. Creating and maintaining on and off-site views.
. Creating useable building areas and landscape edges.
. Separating potential non-residential and residential use conflicts.
. Creating, where possible, barriers or physical separation from traffic nOise
sources.
11.2.4.3 Grading Requirements
Final grading design to implement the SPA grading concept should incorporate the following:
. General Standards: Grading within EastLake Business Center II shall be subject
to Chapter 15.04 - Excavation, Grading and Fills of the City of Chula Vista
Municipal Code and Subdivision Manual.
. Grading Design: Graded areas should be contoured to blend with natural
landform characteristics. Rounding both vertical and horizontal intersections of
graded planes; obscuring slope drainage structures with a variety of plant material
massing; incorporating the use of variable slope ratios for larger slope banks; use
of landscape planting for erosion control and to obscure man-made banks; and,
other similar techniques should be used. Artificially appearing slope banks with
rigid angular characteristics should be avoided.
. Cut and Fill Slope Construction: Slope banks in excess of four feet in height
should be constructed at a gradient of 2 to I (horizontal to vertical) or flatter
unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Minor interior slopes between
lots up to 1.5: I may be approved by the City Engineer.

SuoolemenW SectioriilIPlannin2 Area (SPA)
. Erosion Mitigation: Based on actual field conditions encountered, the erosion
potential of slopes should be reduced with berms at the tops of all slopes, paved
interceptor ditches and terrace drains and vegetation. Vegetation should consist
of drought-tolerant native or naturalized species, requiring little or minimal
irrigation, deep rooted and well suited to the on-site soils. Spray-on applications
and coatings, combined with jute or hemp mesh can be effective methods for
stabilizing soils. Final plans should be based on coordinated input from a licensed
landscape architect.
. Maintenance: The application for any grading permit should provide assurance
acceptable to the City Engineer that landscaped slope banks and medians will
have adequate maintenance to ensure continued viability of landscaping.
Generally, except for private lots, slope banks which exceed ten feet in height
should be maintained by a homeowners' or property owners' association.

11.2.5 PARKS, RECREATION and OPEN SPACE
11.2.5.1 Introduction
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA Plan does not include any park land nor
does it include any residential uses which would generate a public park demand. As noted
previously, there is a private park within the existing Business Center which provides park and
recreation opportunities to employees of companies located within the Business Center (I and II).
11.2.5.2 Open Space
While generally accepted standards have been established for the provision of acreage and the
function of a hierarchy of parks, the "need" for open space is more difficult to quantify. Usually
the need, amount and location of open space is determined by the natural environmental
conditions of the land and facility related needs such as detention basins, future road
rights-of-way, and buffer space between unrelated land uses, etc. Steep slopes and sloping lands
with unstable geologic conditions are obvious candidates for open space, as are noise buffer
areas along major traffic ways.
Open space areas within EastLake Business Center II may be provided for buffer areas where
required along Otay Lakes Road and where buffering is required to minimize the potential for
land use conflicts. Alternatively, structural separations such as berm, walls or fences may be
used or combined with landscaped open space. Open space lots and acres will be shown on the
tentative tract map. Maintenance of all open space lots and medians shall be by a homeowners
association or as otherwise approved by the City Engineer.
11.2.5.3 Landscape Concept
The General Landscape Plan, Exhibit 9, provides a general design framework which allows
latitude and flexibility while maintaining the overall goals and objectives ofthe community. The
intent of the landscape concept is to reinforce the development pattern established by the Site
Utilization Plan. This pattern consists of the predominate employment development areas served
by a simple circulation/landscape corridor. Plant selection will follow that of the existing
Business Center to perpetuate distinct identities and visual continuity throughout the Business
Center as a whole. In addition, the thematic corridor and major thoroughfare have identified
dominant trees and landscape designs which will be continued.
Additional elements in the Landscape Concept include:
. Arterial - Scenic Corridor: Otay Lakes Road is an eXlstmg arterial scenic
highway. The landscape improvements existing on the south side of this road
were developed with the EastLake Greens SPA. The landscape improvements on
the north side, to be developed with this SPA, shall reflect the character and
quality of those existing improvements to the south.
. District Entry: An entry sign and enhanced planting will be located at the
intersection of Otay Lakes Road and Fenton Street. The design character shall be
similar to the similar entry treatment at the intersection of Otay Lakes Road and
Lane Avenue.
Amended 11/ 1/07
V-I
SUDDlemental Sectional Flannine Area (SF A)
. Thematic Corridor: The existing Thematic Corridor along Fenton Street shall
continue easterly to Otay Lake Road. Since this corridor does not connect to a
dominant neighborhood feature in Business Center II it will be a transition as a
continuation of the dominant tree theme in the corridor, but with a contiguous
sidewalk.
. Residential Interface Buffer: The Business Center pads are above adjacent
existing and future residential development to the north and east. In both
locations a dense landscape buffer will be provided along the upper portions of
the slope. Along the northern boundary with Rolling Hills Ranch an additional
building setback is provided. A solid fence shall be required adjacent to all
residential parcels. Refer also to Section 11.2.3.7, Trials Edges and Buffers, and
the Design Guidelines.
All development in the EastLake Business Center II shall be in compliance with the Chula Vista
Landscape Manual, adopted by Resolution No. 17735 in November 1994.

DEVELOPMENT PHASING
Four phases of development are envisioned based on the need to balance grading and
infrastructure improvements. The development of individual building sites will commence as
the market dictates. Build-out of all building sites may occur over a several year period, as has
been experienced within the existing Business Center I.
The proposed phasing indicated herein, on Exhibit 13, is more specifically defined by the Public
Facilities Financing Plan and the Business Center II Master Tentative Map conditions of
approval, which shall prevail in the event of conflict.

PUBLIC FACILITIES
Introduction
The inclusion of public facilities issues is a distinguishing feature of SPA Plans. This portion of
the plan outlines the public facilities which enable the community to function properly. The
companion Public Facilities and Financing Plan (Section 11.5 of the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental SPA Plan) describes the "backbone" facilities in more detail and assigns the
responsibility for construction and financing of all required facilities.
The facilities described in the SPA Plan have been identified and capacities determined based
upon projected land uses and their distribution, as shown on the Site Utilization Plan (Exhibit 5).
11.2.7.2 Potable Water Supply
The EastLake Planned Community, including the EastLake Business Center II SPA, is located
within the boundaries of the Otay Water District (OWD), which is responsible for providing
local water service. OWD is a member of the County Water Authority and the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California. The anticipated water supply system is depicted in
Exhibit II. This concept will be revised in consultation with the water district and detailed on
the subdivision conditions and improvements plans. The phasing and financing requirements are
provided in the Public Facilities Financing Plan (Section 11.5 ofthe SPA Plan package).
11.2.7.3 Potable Water Demand
Domestic water demand for EastLake Business Center II will be estimated as a part of the water
master plan to be approved by the OWD. An analysis of available water supply will also be
completed to assure that sufficient supplies are planned to be available as demand is generated
by the project.
Water "will serve" acknowledgments from the Water District will be required by the City during
the subdivision map process.

Reclaimed Water Supply and Master Plan
Based on current District policies regarding new subdivision development, landscape irrigation
for parks, schools, greenbelts, road medians, and multi-family residential is required to utilize,
where available, recycled water. The project is located in the OWD Central Service Area which
currently receives recycled water from the District's 1.3 MGD capacity Ralph W. Chapman
Recycling Facility.
The existing reclaimed water distribution system serves EastLake Greens and connections to the
system to serve the EastLake Business Center II SPA should be planned. Potential demand
within the SPA will be estimated as a part of a Reclaimed Water Master Plan for the EastLake
Business Center II Supplemental SPA to be approved by the OWD and the City of Chula Vista.
A conceptual plan to distribute reclaimed water within the project is depicted on the Reclaimed
Water plan (Exhibit 12).
Reclaimed water requirements for the project will be coordinated by the Water District and the
City. The phased construction of reclaimed water facilities, based on the District approved
master plan, will be incorporated into the Public Facilities Financing Plan and/or subdivision
map conditions to assure timely provision of required facilities.
11.2.7.5 Sewer Service
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA is primarily located in the Telegraph
Canyon drainage basin. A small portion of the site is within the Salt Creek drainage basin. The
portion of the site within the Salt Creek basin may be approved by the City Engineer for
diversion to the Telegraph Canyon sewer system. If not approved, Exhibit 12 indicates the
alternative for connection to the Salt Creek sewer system. Extension of trunk sewer facilities to
serve the Salt Creek basin by gravity flow are planned as a part of the Otay Ranch project.
Currently, no facilities exist near the project site in the Salt Creek basin. Because of this, interim
pumping of project flows to facilities in the Telegraph Canyon Gravity Sewer Basin is
anticipated.
The trunk facilities in the Telegraph Canyon Basin currently convey pumped flows from
EastLake Greens, Trails, and the Olympic Training Center, and will accommodate interim flows
from Salt Creek Ranch and EastLake III. The City has established a flow monitoring program
and financing plan for the Telegraph Canyon Basin to assure facilities can continue to
accommodate pumped flows. The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA will be
required to participate in this program and development phasing may be constrained by sewer
capacity. EastLake Business Center II Supplemental will also participate in the Salt Creek
Gravity Basin Sewer Plan established by the City.
Sewer generation and facility requirements for the project will be determined in a Sewer Master
Plan to be prepared for and approved by the City. The phased construction of sewer facilities
and/or participation regional improvement programs, based on the approved master plan, will be
incorporated into the Public Facilities Financing Plan and/or subdivision map conditions to
assure timely provision of required facilities. A plan for sewer collection within the project is
depicted on the Sewer Plan (Exhibit 13).

11.2.7.6 Storm and Drainage System
Conceptually, the on-site runoff from developed areas in the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental SPA will be collected by an on-site system and eventually discharged into the
Telegraph Canyon and Salt Creek drainage basins. No significant diversion of run-off is
anticipated. Anticipated flows will be calculated and a Storm Drain Master Plan will be prepared
for and approved by the City. There will be a detention basin in Salt Creek north of Olympic
Parkway, which is designed to serve development in EastLake III as well as EastLake II. No
significant conflicts between storm drain facilities and recreation use of the Salt Creek corridor
are anticipated.
The phased construction of storm drain facilities, based on the city-approved master plan, will be
incorporated into the Public Facilities Financing Plan and/or subdivision map conditions to
assure timely provision of required facilities. A conceptual Storm Water Plan for the project is
depicted in Exhibit 14.
11.2.7.7 Urban Run-off
The Upper and Lower Otay Lakes are operated by the City of San Diego as domestic water
reservoirs. These reservoirs must be protected from urban run-off to maintain water quality for
domestic use. The EastLake Business Center II SPA does not drain into the watersheds for these
reservoirs. Salt Creek is a USGS blueline stream, which designates it as "waters of the United
States" under the Clean Water Act (CW A). All development in excess of five acres which drains
to waters of the United States must incorporate urban run-off planning, which, for EastLake
Business Center II, will be detailed at the Tentative Tract Map level. The proposed development
shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.
11.2.7.8 Roads
Roads included in this SPA proposal are addressed in Chapter 11.2.3 Circulation of this SPA
Plan. The Public Facilities Financing Plan (Section 11.5 of the SPA Plan package) details their
phasing and financing.

11.2.7.9 Schools
The EastLake Business Center II SPA includes only eili.blovrnentllight industrial park with
supporting and complimentary commercialemplsymeffl uses. It neither includes a school site nor
does it directly create demand for new or additional school facilities which are associated with
new residential development.
EastLake Business Center II is located within the Sweetwater Union High School District
(grades 7-12) and the Chula Vista Elementary School District (grades K-6). The Board of
Trustees of the Sweetwater Union School District and the Board of Education of the Chula Vista
Elementary School District have each formed Community Facilities (Mello-Roos) Districts for
the purpose of financing school facilities within the EastLake Community through the use of
special taxes and the issuance of bonds. Since the SPA is located within the overall community,
these special taxes will be applied to the Business Center II property.
Adult school services are provided in the evening at local school district facilities. Southwestern
College, located approximately I mile west of EastLake, provides community college services to
local residents. Neither of these services are expected to be affected by development of the
Business Center expansion.
11.2.7.10 Child Care Facilities
The city adopted the Child Care Element of the Chula Vista General Plan in March, 1995. The
purpose of the Child Care Element is "to provide comprehensive policy direction for the
provision of adequate child care facilities necessary to serve existing and future developed areas
in the City in a coordinated and effective manner."
EastLake Business Center II SPA, and the EastLake Planned Community as a whole, may have a
mix of child care providers, such as school, church, non-profit or commercial facilities. Child
care facilities may be located within private homes, commercial centers, offices, government and
industrial complexes, and/or adjacent to public and private schools when appropriate. Family
day care homes and facility-based child care centers are discussed below.
Home-based child care includes small family day care homes (SFDCH) that serve up to_8
children and large family day care homes (LFDCH) that serve 9-14 children. The Chula Vista
Municipal Code allows the establishment ofSFDCHs and LFDCHs within the R-l Zone as well
as the RE and RS land use districts of the PC Zone found throughout the EastLake Community.
A conditional use permit is required for all family day care homes within R-2 and R-3 Zones.
Consistent with Chula Vista zoning, SFDCHs could potentially be located within all residential
zones in the EastLake Community. Since the State of California has family day care home
licensing responsibility, all family day care homes within the residential areas of EastLake would
be required to comply with both state and local regulations.
The City of Chula Vista has established specific requirements for operating a large family day
care home, which have been incorporated in the Planned Community District Regulations
adopted for EastLake II (see Section 11.3, Planned Community District Regulations). Facility-
based child care may be conducted by non-profit quasi-public organizations or commercial
providers. These facilities may be located on a variety of non-residential parcels (including PQ
and CPF sites). Further, day care and nursery schools will be permitted within the Business
Center itself, subject to Administrative Review (see PC District Regulations).
Amended 11/1/07
VIl-8
Suoollltnental Sectional Plaonih2Area (SPA)
The State has adopted regulations related to licensing, application procedures, administrative
actions, enforcement provisions, continuing requirements and physical environment for child day
care and day care centers. All child care facilities within the SPA will need to comply with state,
as well as local regulations.
II.2.7.11 Police and Fire Services
Both police and fire services are provided by the City of Chula Vista. Police services are
provided from the central police facility in central Chula Vista. Two fire stations are in close
proximity to the project site. One, a temporary facility, is located in the EastLake Business
Center, immediately adjacent to the project site. The station will be relocated to a new
permanent site as the City's Fire Master Plan is implemented. The final location of the new
permanent site has yet to be determined. It is anticipated that the site will be in close proximity
to EastLake Business Center. A second station is located approximately 5 minutes away on Otay
Lakes Road, south of East "H" Street. This station is planned to be relocated to the Rancho del
Rey community to the west of EastLake.
II.2.7.12 Library Services
Library services are provided by the City of Chula Vista. The City operates a central library,
which is located at 4th and "F" Streets in central Chula Vista, to serve the entire community.
Growth in eastern Chula Vista raises questions as to how library service is to be provided within
the Eastern Territories and in what locations. Smaller branch libraries or a large facility to serve
the area east of 1-805 merit consideration.
A Library Service Master Plan has been completed which suggests a branch library in the eastern
area of the City should be considered. Rancho del Rey reserves a site for a City library along
East "H" Street. In addition, the EastLake Village Center Master Tentative Map reserves a I
acre site for a library within EastLake I. Currently, the city operates a shared facility on the
EastLake High School campus which provides neighborhood library services.
Again, library services are generally associated with increased residential development and, as a
non-residential project, the Business Center expansion is not expected to affect library services.
II.2.7.13 Community Purpose Facilities (CPF)
Community Purpose Facilities are required in the City of Chula Vista at the rate of 1.39 acres per
1000 persons to be addressed with each SPA Plan. Since the proposed project does not affect the
population in the project area, it does not affect the CPF plans adopted for the EastLake
Community as a whole.

SECTION I.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
I. 0 Purpose and Scope
For the purpose of promoting and protecting the public health, safety and welfare of the people of the City of Chula
Vista, to safeguard and enhance the appearance and quality of development of EastLake II, and to provide the social,
physical and economic advantages resulting from comprehensive and orderly planned use of land resources, these
Planned Community District Regulations defining land use districts and regulations within those districts are hereby
established and adopted by the City Council.
I . 1 Private Agreements
The provisions of this ordinance are not intended to abrogate any easements, covenants, or other existing agreements
which are more restrictive than the provisions of this ordinance.
I .2 Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances
Whenever the provisions of this ordinance impose more restrictive regulations upon construction or use of buildings
or structures, or the use of lands or premises than are imposed or required by other ordinances previously adopted,
the provisions of this ordinance or rules or regulations promulgated hereunder shall govern.
I.3 Establishment of Land Use Districts
A. Division of EastLake II into Land Use Districts

SECTION IV.
BUSINESS CENTER DISTRICTS
IV. 0 Purpose
In addition to the objectives outlines in Section 1.0 (Purpose and Scope), the Business Center Districts are included
to provide for a quality working environment and to achieve a harmonious mixture of uses which might otherwise
be considered incompatible when located in close proximity. Activities are intended to promote employment
opportunities in manufacturing, service, research and development, engineering and wholesale trade. In addition,
the Business Center Districts are included to advance the following objectives:
To reserve appropriately located areas for industrial use and protect these areas from intrusion by
dwellings and other non-harmonious uses;
To protect residential and commercial uses from noise, odor, dust, smoke, light intrusion, truck
traffic and other objectionable influences and to prevent fIre, explosion, radiation and other
hazards incidental to certain industrial activities;
To promote sufficient open space around industrial structures to protect them from hazard and to
minimize the impact of industrial operations on nearby residential or commercial districts; and
To minimize traffic congestion and avoid overloading utilities by restricting construction of
buildings of excessive size in relation to the amount of land around them.

11.4.1 Introduction
1I.4.1.1
Purpose
This document is a manual to guide the design of site plans, architecture, and landscape
architecture within the EastLake Business Center II Supplemental Sectional Planning Area
(SP A) of the EastLake Planned Community. It illustrates the master developer's philosophy and
commitment to a high quality, planned development program.
This manual includes design concepts to guide specific areas of consideration, but more
importantly it establishes design context within which each element is important to the success of
the entire program. Thus, the purpose of this manual is to ensure that all development within
EastLake Business Center II will maintain a high standard of design through consistency with
these published standards to which all project designers are expected to refer. The standards of
these guidelines are consistent with those established for previous development phases of the
EastLake Planned Community.
While it is the intention of the master developer to allow as much freedom as possible for
creative design expression at the parcel and individual project levels, it is sometimes mandatory
to precisely control the design of areas critical to the success of the overall community; locations
where only a limited number of solutions are acceptable. These situations are emphasized in
these guidelines.
These guidelines are intended to encourage tasteful, imaginative site planning and building
design while retaining a sense of homogeneity within the Business Center (I & II) as a whole.
Special emphasis has been placed upon methods that tend to reduce visual impacts of larger scale
buildings and that balance the elements of structure, landscaping and paving.

I1A.2 DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
II.4.2.1
The design review process includes two integrated procedures: I) design review and approval by
the master developer; and, 2) design review and approval by the City of Chula Vista. Essentially
the process requires the builder to formulate the design for his parcel review it with the master
developer and obtain its approval prior to formal design review application with the City. Refer
to the City of Chula Vista's Design Review process and procedures for additional detail.
II.4.2.2 Design Review by Master Developer
In order to ensure that these Business Center Design Guidelines are adhered to and
maintained, specific review and approval and enforcement procedures have been
established. Initial construction and development plans will be considered by the
EastLake Company Design Review Committee (ECDRC). Additional, future
improvements will be evaluated by the Architectural Review Committee of the EastLake
Business Center Owners' Association. These review committees will assure the integrity
of the business park by reviewing and approving all development proposals within the
EastLake Business Center. The committees will consider the level of conformance to the
intent and specific requirements of these guidelines and the adopted CC&R's, in addition
to all applicable statutes, codes, ordinances, or regulations of controlling governmental
jurisdictions.
All applicants shall submit four sets of accurate and complete plans to the appropriate
review committee for each plan submission stage. Each set shall include the necessary
architectural site plans, floor plans, exterior elevations or perspectives, and schematic
grading and landscaping plans to fu1ly describe the proposed improvements. In order to
facilitate design coordination between individual buildings, a1l architectural and
landscape plans for other Business Center projects will be available for review through
the committees.
Any changes or modifications to approved plans proposed during the initial construction
period sha1l be submitted to the EastLake Company for review and approval prior to
submittal to City or incorporation in building or site improvements.
Submittal Requirements for Master Developer Review
Schematic Master Plan Submittal
A Schematic Master Plan will be required only when ultimate site development occurs in
phases. Information sha1l include but is not limited to:
Gross and net acreage oflots

11.4.3 BUSINESS CENTER DESIGN GUIDELINES
II.4.3.1 Site Planning
Planned Communitv District Regulations
Development standards for each land use area (i.e., permitted land uses, lot coverage,
height and bulk requirements, signs, etc.) are established in the EastLake PC District
Regulations which should be referenced for specific property development standards.
The following design guidelines supplement those requirements. Notwithstanding these
guidelines, compliance with the planned community district regulations and other
regulations of the City of Chula Vista or other authorized agencies shall take precedence.
Any aspect of development not addressed in the EastLake Business Center 11
Supplemental SPA Plan, EastLake 11 PC District Regulations, or these guidelines shall be
governed by the City of Chula Vista regulations.
Site Planning
The location and "footprint" of a structure on its lots is as important as the "design"
(appearance) of the building. Because of the variety of lot sizes and uses, special
attention must be paid to the location of each structure.
Office and commercial buildings should be arranged to make efficient use of the
site.
All site plans shall observe the setback standards described in the specific parcel
criteria herein.
10-8-99
The following guidelines are intended to supplement the EastLake I SPA Plan and PC
Regulations and, if followed, should guarantee the development of a business park whose
occupants will have maximum opportunity for creative site planning and building design
while ensuring that the overall business park is homogenous and well maintained.
I. Coverage: Maximum building coverage shall not exceed 60% of the net lot area
on any lot.
2. Setbacks:
a.
All setbacks shall be measured from the property line which, on a street
frontage, is the same as the street right-of-way line.
III-I
Create enclaves of buildings and court-
yards; vary site topography and street
scenes,
Avoid rigid. repetitive, and monoto-
nOlls site layouts.

NOT THIS
III-2
b. Landscape Setbacks: All landscape setbacks shall be improved,
predominantly with plant materials. Other improvements shall be limited
to service and access driveways, walkways, fences, walls and planters.
I) Front yard landscape setbacks: All front yard landscape setbacks
shall be 20 feet minimum. Where a lot abuts two public streets,
the Site Plan may designate a front yard and a comer side yard.
The landscape setback for a corner side yard shall be 10 feet
minimum. Unless otherwise approved on the Site Plan, the longest
street frontage shall be considered the front yard.
2) Side and rear yard landscape setbacks shall be 6 feet minimum,
except for corner side yards noted above.
3) Rear yard setbacks for lots abutting residential neighborhoods shall
be 10 feet from top of slope.
Building Heights
The maximum height of structures within the business park shall not exceed two stories,
or 35 feet, whichever is less. A provision that allows certain interior lots to be considered
for buildings above 35' is provided in the PC District Regulations.
10-8-99
II1-3
Circulation and Parking
a. Textured andlor enhanced paving may
be used to accent driveways and building
entries or other significant areas.
d.
All parking stalls shall be clearly
outlined by stripes on the surface of the
parking facility.
Standard car size parking spaces shall
have a minimum size of 9 feet by 17.5
feet (with 1.5 foot overhang at front
curb).
Compact car size parking spaces shall
have a minimum size of 8 feet in width
and 13.5 feet in depth (with 1.5 foot
overhang at front curb). Compact car
parking spaces may comprise a
maximum of 25% of the total parking
space requirement providing said spaces
are controlled or appropriately marked to
ensure their utilization by compact cars.
Two-way private driveways shall have a
minimum width of 24 feet for per-
pendicular parking.
All parking facilities shall be lighted in
accordance with current City standards.
Lighting standards shall not be greater
than 18 feet in height.
10% of parking areas shall be
landscaped.

Landscaping
One eight foot wide landscape node shall be provided between every ten linear parking
spaces, for parking visible from streets. Variation in spacing is permitted in order to
allow landscape design to respond to each building and site plan. Design flexibility
should be used to create the appropriate balance (subject to approval) between landscape,
hardscape, site improvements and buildings. All tree wells shall include a 12" poured
concrete pad (in addition to the 6" curb) on every edge adjoining a parking space to
provide a step-out area for vehicle occupants.
Service and Storage Areas
a. All outdoor storage and sales yards shall be completely enclosed, screened from
public view by landscaping, wall, or fence, not less than eight feet in height,
constructed of material complementary to the building materials. Outdoor storage
includes material involved in fabrication, as well as, the parking of all company
owned or operated motor vehicles with the exception of regular passenger
vehicles. No chain link fences will be permitted without special approval of the
ECDRC.
b. No storage shall be permitted between the street and the building.
c. No loading shall be allowed which would be visible from Otay Lakes Road or
adjacent residential lots.
d. Streetside loading shall be allowed provided the loading dock is screened from all
adjacent streets.
e. All outdoor refuse collection areas shall be completely enclosed and screened
from view by a wall or fence constructed of materials which are complementary
to the building materials. All such areas shall have concrete floors and loading
pads, and shall be of sufficient size to contain all business generated refuse.
f. No refuse collection areas shall be permitted between street and the building.
Communitv Fencing
One of the most dominant visual elements of a community is its fencing. It is essential
for this element to be aesthetically pleasing and provide continuity in design to unify the
various architectural styles within individual neighborhoods into a single community
theme.
Although community fencing is not expected to be a significant element of the Business
Center II project, if it is used the following guidelines should be observed, particularly
along residential edges.
Fences and walls can serve many functions including security, identity, enclosure,
privacy, etc. However care must be exercised in the design of fencing in order to avoid
long, boring or awkward sections of fencing. It is intended that the available fencing
types be combined to attract interest and provide variety. Using a combination of open
10-8-99
II1-S
and solid styles, changing angles and directions is encouraged. Long straight runs of a
single fence style is monotonous and inappropriate.
The elevations ofthe EastLake Planned Community fencing program are sketched below.
These are to be used for all fencing indicted on the community Fencing Plan. Refer to
Exhibit 3a on page 6a.
The pilaster serves as the unifying design element among the different fence types and
will establish the theme for community fencing. Each type of fence serves a particular
purpose. The sound wall is a masonry wall intended to provide noise mitigation and
privacy. The solid theme wall is used where visual privacy is needed, but protection
from the noise of arterial highways is not important. This wall uses a pilaster similar to
the sound wall, but may use fence boards between. An open wall is used where a
physical barrier is needed, but a view needs to be preserved. Within EastLake, wrought
iron fencing between the theme pilasters is proposed as the open wall. Pilasters should be
provided at each property line intersection or at a typical spacing of approximately 200
feet.

Exterior fences should be designed and placed according to the fonowing guidelines:
I. Walls should be made of a textured surface material that is compatible with the
design of the neighborhood area.
2. The monotony of a long wan should be broken by visual relief through
periodically recessing the wan or constructing pilasters.
3. Landscaping, such as trees, shrubs or vines, should be used to soften the
appearance of the wall.
4. Walls which serve as a subdivision exterior boundary should be up to six feet in
height from the highest finished grade.
S. Walls used as rear or side yard walls should be constructed up to six feet height
depending upon the conditions that exist.
6. Combined solid fencing, walls and open fencing may be used to create interest.
Masonry walls are required only where necessary for noise attenuation.
7. Fencing design should avoid long continuous runs. Jogging the fence line to
avoid monotony is encouraged.
8. Landscape planting should be used to supplement and soften fencing and
obscuring long lengths of fence with vines and shrubs is encouraged.
Combined Wall and Fence Guidelines
The combining of a conventional fence on top of a retaining wall can result in combined
wan height that is not desirable. The combining of walls is generally discouraged.
Where necessary, it shall be within the combined limits indicated in the sketch to the
below.

Fences and Walls
a. No fence or wall exceeding three feet in height shall be constructed within 20 feet
of the front (streetside) property line.
b. Walls and fences between buildings and the front property line are not allowed.
c. All fences and walls shall be an integral part of the building design concept and
shall be constructed of materials that are complementary to the building materials.
Textures and colors shall also be complementary.
Utilities. Antennae and Flagpoles
a. All exterior on-site utilities (gas, water and sewer lines; drainage systems;
electrical, telephone and communications wires and equipment, etc.) shall be
placed underground or properly screened.
b. On-site underground utilities shall be located so as to minimize disruption during

d. Temporary overhead power and telephone lines shall be permitted during
construction.
e. A maximum of three flagpoles may be permitted per lot. Any such flagpoles shall
be subject to the 35 foot maximum height limitation.
Grading Standards
Rather than create one large pad, the grading concept for the EastLake Business Center II
should provide separate pads for almost every lot. This reduces grading quantity and
height oflarge slopes, and produces smaller slopes which are more easily revegetated and
less obtrusive visually. Parcel grading should respect existing terrain and take into
account surrounding topography. Attention to thoughtful grading practices can do much
to enhance the aesthetic quality of EastLake Business Center. Grading within EastLake
Business Center is subject to Chapter 15.04 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code. The
following items are intended as guidelines to direct site grading:
a. Site grading should complement and reinforce the overall architectural and
landscape design character.
b. Finish grading in all landscaped areas should assure positive drainage away from
building floors and footings.
c. All buildings should be equipped with adequate roof drains, downspouts or other
drainage conveyances. All drain exits should deposit into storm drains or onto
hard surfaces. No roof drainage should be deposited into landscaped areas.
10-8-99

11.4.3.2
It is the objective of these guidelines to create a business park which is well planned and which is
compatible with the street scene. Each building, though expressing its own individuality shall
also be an integral part of the complete Business Center and must be designed accordingly.
Building Massing
a. All buildings are to be functional and contemporary.
b. Large-scale, uninterrupted walls facing a street shall be visually reduced to human
scale by:
Mature landscaping/mounding
Clustering small-scale elements such as planter walls around the major
form
Creation of horizontal shadow line
Landscaping terraces
Offset building planes and recessed areas
c. Radical theme structures which draw unnecessary attention to the building shall
not be acceptable.
d. Structures should be designed to create transitions in form and scale between
large buildings and adjacent smaller buildings.
Building Entries
a. Facilities entrance drive shall be readily observable.
b. Entry points to the building shall be incorporated into the design. The main entry
shall be readily identifiable and accessible.
Textures
a. Simple and uniform texture patterns are encouraged to enhance the architecture of
buildings.
b. Building should be designed with materials to complement landscaping materials.
Equipment Screening
a. All roof-mounted equipment shall be hidden from view with parapet walls or
screening. Screens shall be attractive in appearance and reflect or complement
the architecture and color of the building. Mechanical equipment shall not extend
above the enclosing wall or screen.
b. All exterior mechanical equipment which is visible from the upper floors of
adjacent buildings shall be kept to a minimum, shall be installed in an orderly,
Architecture

sufficient illumination for safety and security. Lighting fixtures shall be a zero
cutoff. The parking lot illumination level shall achieve a uniformity ration of 3 to
1 (average to minimum) with a maintained average of I foot candle and a
minimum of 0.3 foot candle.
5. Outdoor pedestrian use areas (courtyards, entry ways, walkways, etc.) shall have
sufficient illumination for safety and security. Primary pedestrian use area light-
ing should achieve a uniformity ratio of 3.5 to I average illumination of 0.60 foot
candles and a minimum of 0.18 foot candles.
6. Service area lighting shall be contained within the service yard boundaries and
enclosure walls. No light spillover is allowed.

throughout the project.
The intent is to establish specific standards for all exterior signage that will ensure continuity,
consistency and harmony with the architecture. Each user/tenant is expected to establish and
maintain an "integrated" concept in the design of their signage. Signs and finishes shaH be
harmonious with the general character ofthe user/tenant's building.
Approval and Submittal
AH signs shaH be subject to the approval of the City Zoning Administrator prior to
instaHation.
All proposed exterior signs for each facility shaH be submitted to the ECDRC as
part of the Preliminary Plan submittal and shaH be consistent with this sign pro-
gram. Sufficient renderings indicating size, location, design, color, lighting and
materials shaH be submitted to the ECDRC for their review.
General Standards
Signs shaH be subtle, tasteful, imaginative, and an integral part of the building
design concept.
Signs shaH be for identification or instruction only; no advertising is aHowed.
Signs shaH require regular maintenance.
Maintenance
AH signs shaH be maintained in a neat and orderly fashion. Periodic inspections shall be
made by the EastLake Business Center Owners' Association. Prompt correction of any
deficiencies shaH be made by the entity responsible for the maintenance of said sign(s).

The purpose of this section is to address some specific signs for the Design District, as
established in the EastLake II Planned Community District Regulations. Signs not
address in this section will be subject to the overall sign requirements for EastLake
Business Center II or the Chula Vista Municipal Code as applicable. Standards for signs,
that are not specified herein, shall be subject the Business Center II sign regulations.
The Design District will attract business and consumers of home improvement products
and services. In order to identify the location and efficiently guide the users to their
destination four types of signs are provided for herein. Additional, less dominant, signs
will be provided as part of the overall Design Review.
Exceptions to the sign standards herein may be approved by the Zoning Administrator,
subject to approval ofthe following findings:
That the sign is consistent with the general quality and character of the EastLake
Business Center II Planned Community;
That the sign provides a benefit to the viability of the Design District;
That the sign provides a benefit to the customers of the Design District;
And, That the sign is compatible with the character of the other signs in the
Design District and its surroundings.
Sign Locations: Exhibit DD-a, Sign Locations by Type, indicates the conceptual
locations of the four freestanding sign types. The exact locations will be established by

11.4.4 LANDSCAPE DESIGN
11.4.4.1 Purpose
The purpose of the General Landscape Concept is to establish the overall landscape treatment of
the project. Various entities will be responsible for the planning and implementation of land-
scape improvements; therefore, this plan will provide the guidance necessary to achieve a
visually compatible landscape.
The concept will provide a general design framework which allows latitude and flexibility to
each individual project while maintaining the overall goals and objectives of the community.
The landscape character of EastLake Business Center II will be created by the use of pre-selected
dominant plant materials and a selective plant palette. These plant materials have been
coordinated with other EastLake districts in accordance with the general landscape plan.
Landscape will reinforce the design patterns established by the land use plan. Since the Business
Center II project is an extension of the existing Business Center I development, the landscape
materials and patterns will be an extension of those previously established. Generally, trees and
landscape intensity zones will be used to establish distinct identity, visual continuity, order and
contrast.
11.4.4.2 Landscape Concept
The landscaping of the EastLake Business Center will create a serene, park-like setting for high
quality employment uses. Landscaped parkways, attractive entries, a central park facility and
coordinated site and slope plantings will create a distinctive controlled environment of visually
pleasing landscaping.
The basic landscape character will be created by the use of pre-selected, dominant accent and
parcel trees. These trees have been coordinated with the overall landscaping of the EastLake
Community so that the EastLake Business Center maintains its own distinctive identity.
The General Landscape Plan, Exhibit 9, provides a general design framework which allows
latitude and flexibility while maintaining the overall goals and objectives of the community. The
intent of the landscape concept is to reinforce the development pattern established by the Site
Utilization Plan. This pattern consists of the predominate employment development areas served
by a simple circulation/landscape corridor. Plant selection will follow that of the existing
Business Center to perpetuate distinct identities and visual continuity throughout the Business
Center as a whole. In addition, the thematic corridor and major thoroughfare have identified
dominant trees and landscape designs which will be continued.
10-8-99
IV-I
Additional elements in the Landscape Concept include:
. Arterial - Scenic Corridor: Otay Lakes Road is an existing arterial scenic
highway. The landscape improvements existing on the south side of this road
were developed with the EastLake Greens SPA. The landscape improvements on
the north side, to be developed with this SPA, shall reflect the character and
quality of those existing improvements to the south. Buildings shall be setback
75' from back of sidewalk along this corridor.

11.4.4.3 Landscaping Requirements
The landscape concept of each specific site should be simple, with an emphasis on massing of
plant materials rather than sporadic, intermittent planting. Rolling berms and drought tolerant
trees, shrubs, and ground covers should be used to create a heavily landscaped setting and to
visually soften parking lots and other objectionable views. Preselected dominant and accent
trees should be utilized on the street frontages. A limited number of different plant materials
should be used. Each tree selected, for example, should fulfill a specific role in the landscape
(i.e., entry tree, parking lot tree, etc.). Lawn shall be kept to a minimum.
1. All development in the EastLake Business Center II shall be in compliance with the
Chula Vista Landscape Manual, adopted by Resolution No. 17735 in November 1994.
2. All landscaping shall be in conformance with the principles of the General Landscape
Plan. Landscape plans must be approved by the ECDRC.
3. Plant materials with invasive and shallow root systems and/or which create litter which
would stain paving or automobiles, or create a safety hazard should be avoided.
4. A general soil amendment program should be a part of the landscaping operation. This
should include soil tests by an approved agricultural soil laboratory to determine
corrective procedures.
5. Parking lots, service or storage areas, trash enclosures, etc., should be visually screened.
A 42 inch high landscape berm, wall, plant materials, or any combination thereof, shall
be used to screen parking lots from streets.
6. Off-site landscaping. Irrigation and landscaping at the street frontage should include the
area between the property line and the street sidewalk. These improvements and their
ongoing maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner, unless it is part of a
"common landscape area". The "common landscape area" shall be the responsibility of
the EastLake Business Center Association.
7. Site developer must plan to incorporate existing landscaped areas into their overall
landscape design and irrigation system.
8. The use of landscape related walls, planters, sculpture, enriched paving, etc. is
encouraged. The inclusion of such features may alleviate deficiencies in other
components of the overall landscape plan, subject to the determination of the ECDRC
and the City Landscape Architect.
9. Root barriers, special irrigation and adequate setbacks from improvements shall be
provided for trees that can damage public improvements.
The trees designated for the Business Center are:
Dominant trees - Platanus acerifolia and Pinus eldarica
Accent tree - Erythnia corralloidies
Parcel tree - select from the approved list

20% Accent trees
On internal streets:
50% Dominant trees
25% Accent trees
25% Parcel trees
On Thematic Corridor:
Populus species
To create a balanced landscape environment sensitive to maintenance and conservation concerns,
specific landscape intensity classifications have been established (refer to Landscape Intensity
Plan). These indicate the type of planting at a specific location or area. The classifications are
made based on maintenance and watering requirements. All landscape materials shall be tolerant
of reclaimed water used for irrigation.
I. Native Areas - These are existing vegetated areas undisturbed by construction operations.
Natural rainfall only is required for irrigation. Periodic cleanup and grubbing of seasonal
growth may be required.
2. Naturalized Areas - These are newly planted areas provided with temporary irrigation
systems. Once plants become established, they shall be capable of surviving with no
artificial irrigation.
3. Drought-Tolerant Areas - These are newly planted areas provided with permanent
irrigation systems. Water demand will be low, requiring substantially less irrigation than
ornamental areas.
4. Ornamental Areas - These are areas and corridors with a high degree of visual impact.
Plant materials will require regular maintenance and watering.
5. Manicured Areas - These are ornamental areas that require "special" attention due to
their significance (e.g., entries). These areas shall be kept to a minimum.
Plant Materials Matrix
The plant materials matrix, located at the end of this section, includes a partial list of
trees, shrubs, and ground covers suitable for use in the various landscape intensity
classifications. Other plant materials may be utilized with approval of the ECDRC and
the City.

II.4.4.4 Street Landscaping
The major external street related to EastLake Business Center II is Otay Lakes Road. It is
designated "Scenic Highway" by the City. Much of the landscape for this street was installed
with previous development in the EastLake Community. Due to the significance of this street,
specific landscape standards have been prepared:
I. Medians - median planting consisting of pre-selected trees and shrub beds shall be
utilized.
2. Parkwavs - adjacent parkways shall be planted generously with ornamental and
drought tolerant plantings. A combination of landscaped berms and/or plant
materials shall be utilized to visually block parking areas and any other objection-
able views.
3. Slope areas - slope areas will increase the visibility of the landscaping from this
street because of the elevation of the Business Center above the street, two
important goals are achieved:
The view of parking lots will be greatly reduced.
The prominence of attractive buildings can be highlighted.
11.4.4.5 Slope/Erosion Control
The general intent of the slope erosion control program is to protect newly created slopes or
denuded areas from erosion or unsightliness. Dust abatement is also a concern. All slope
erosion control planting shall conform to the requirements of the City of Chula Vista Landscape
Manual and the City Landscape Architect.
Generally, five types of erosion control planting may exist subject to the direction and approval
of the City Landscape Architect:
Type I -These are permanent slope areas where permanent automatic irrigation systems,
trees, shrubs and ground covers are required.
Type 2 - These are permanent individual homeowner lot slopes where permanent manual
irrigation systems, trees, shrubs and/or ground covers are required.
Type 3 _ These are permanent slope areas to be naturalized. One-gallon and larger trees
and shrubs with hydroseeded ground cover will be required. Irrigation requirements will
be at the direction of the City LAfPD.
Type 4 - These are fire retardant slopes where fire retardant plant materials are used
between structures and native or naturalized slopes.

1I.4.4.6 Landscape and Irrigation Standards
Standards have been established for the planning of irrigation systems and landscaping. Some of
these are municipal standards, while others are specific to the EastLake Community. The City of
Chula Vista has specific standards in its Landscape Manual which must be met be all projects.
Additionally, the Planning Department may have specific standards related to each individual
project. The EastLake Company has specific standards in those common areas where the
EastLake Community Association will assume eventual maintenance responsibility.

Ground covers shall be used to eventually cover the entire planting area (flattened
material at the appropriate spacing or hydroseed with City and Master Developer
approval).
Spreading shrubs shall be used to eventually cover a minimum of fifty percent
(50%) of the area at mature growth. Shrub and ground covers shall be selected
subject to approval.
Tree plantings shall consist of the designated dominant, accent and other
approved trees (subject to City and Master Developer approval).
All trees will be staked in accordance with the City Standard detail. Type, size
and installation of trees in the City right-of-way are subject to City approval.
Agricultural suitability tests shall be completed for each landscape project. Soil
amendment and leaching recommendations by an independent laboratory shall be
implemented.
Irrigation Standards
All irrigation systems shall conform to the City of Chula Vista Landscape Manual
and EastLake Irrigation Design Manual.

11.4.4.8 Special Master Landscape Plan
The northern portion of Business Center II abuts Rolling Hills Ranch. To minimize the visual
impacts of development in Business Center II, as viewed from the adjacent homes, a special
master landscaping plan is required. This special master landscaping plan shall be approved by
the Director of Planning prior to the issuance of the first building permit for Lots 2, 3,12, or 13.
This plan shall be offered to the Rolling Hills Ranch developers for comment and may include
provisions for off-site tree planting to supplement the tree planting within Business Center II.
Criteria for preparation and approval of the special master landscape plan shall be:
The plan shall be designed to reduce the visual impact of buildings by planting trees that
provide screening.
The container size of the trees to be planted shall that which would produce the most
screening over a five year period for the tree species, up to 24" box maximum. Spacing
of trees shall not constrain full maturity branching.
The trees shall be maintained by the respective property owners association.
The emphasis on the location of the special tree shall be at the top of slope or in locations
that best serve to screen the Business Center II buildings.
The scope ofthe plan area shall be as indicated in the exhibit below.

EAST LAKE BUSINESS CENTER SPA AMENDMENT - NOVEMBER 2007
Project Description:
The applicant, IRE ("Applicant") development, is prosing to introduce commercial retail uses
within the existing Eastlake Design District and is requesting a land use designation change
from Light Industrial to Commercial Retail in order to complement the existing furniture and
home improvement businesses presently in the District. The Applicant is also proposing
certain modifications to the property development standards to accommodate up to five story
buildings (up to 76 ft. high), special parking ratios for furniture stores and restaurants and
professional and medical office uses, including medical clinics. Certain specialty retail uses
related to home improvement are currently allowed under a previously approved Master Use
Permit. However, these and other retail uses as well as developmental and operational
flexibilities are proposed to be incorporated into the EastLake II Planned Community District
Regulations.
More specifically, an amendment to the City of Chula Vista General Plan (GP A) was filed to
change the land use designation of approximately 16.7 previously developed acres at the
northeast corner of Fenton Street and Showroom Place (851-891 Showroom Place) Within
the Eastlake Business Center II project, hereafter referred to as Area "A" (see figure ~
from Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. Concurrent amendments to the Eastlake II
General Development Plan (GDP), Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for
Eastlake Business Center II and associated regulatory documents are proposed for Area A
above and parcels identified as Lot 2 of Map 13971 and Lots 5-8 of Map 14395, herein after
referred to as Area B (see Figure~ and 2430 Fenton Street, herein after referred to as
Area C. The GDP and the Eastlake Business Center II Supplemental SPA amendment consist
of changing the land use designation of Area A from BC-l, Business Center Manufacturing
Park District with Design District Overlay zone to a new commercial land use district and
Area B from BC-I with Design District Overall to BC-4 (Business Center Core District).
Also included are certain modifications to the adopted property development regulations in
order to accommodate greater design and land use flexibility.
The purpose of this Air Quality Improvement Plan for the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) is to respond to the Growth Management
Policies of the City of Chula Vista. The most significant air quality improvement measures
are those policies and regulations established at the broadest geographic level, i.e., State and
Federal. However, there are measures that can be applied on a City or project level which can
have a positive impact.
This addendum presents an overview of these issues, and identifies mitigation/improvement
measures in the following general categories, which can be implemented at the local level.
a. Pedestrian and Bicvcle Paths: The adopted EastLake II General Development Plan, and
subsequent SPA Plans, adopted by the City have emphasized the use of an extensive
trail system, connecting activity centers, to enable non-vehicular travel. Although an

community encourages the use of non-vehicular modes of travel to these destinations.
Bicycle and pedestrian trails, including the EastLake Thematic Corridor will be
extended to the project.
b. Land Use Mix: The EastLake II General Development Plan, adopted by the City,
includes job opportunities, recreation, education, retail and service commercial, and
public facilities within the community. Full implementation of the community plan
would minimize the length and number of automobile trips because of the range of
opportunities and services available within the community. The Business Center II
project will balance residential increments in the EastLake community with additional
employment uses.
c. Access to Regional Svstems: The LOS requirements applied to development within the
EastLake Business Center II SPA will encourage free-flow travel, which reduces air
emissions. Connections to regional vehicular circulation, public transit and
pedestrian/bicycle trail systems are integrated into the project.
d. Transit Access: The community circulation plan includes provisions for public transit
facilities. Transit stops are anticipated along arterials at key intersections, where desired
by the transit provider. The clustering of transit destinations (e.g., schools, shopping,
and employment) encourages the use of public transit and simplifies routing and
scheduling.
e. Site Design/Planning Guidance: This plan identifies the desirability and importance of
consideration of transit and pedestrian/bicycle building orientation in subsequent
implementing steps such as tentative map approval, site planning and design review.
Inclusion of these design factors will support and enhance the alternative circulation
systems provided at the neighborhood and community levels.
[ Park-and-Ride Facilities: The provision of a Park-and-Ride facility in proximity to the
project is anticipated. Construction of such a facility is required in the EastLake Village
Center, located just west of the project site. Such a Park-and-Ride facility could also
provide a staging area for carpools, vanpools, and transit vehicles. This facility should
be incorporated into a city-wide system of similar facilities coordinated with public
transit routes, including future light rail corridors.
& Telecommuting: The Master Developer is also working with the cable TV provider to
include high speed electronic communications connections through the cable TV
system. The Master Developer is committed to ensuring that new development are not
"technologically obsolete" but include necessary community infrastructure to take
advantage of anticipated electronic communication improvements.
h. Construction Mitigation: The dust emissions generated during project grading will be
mitigated by a series of specific mitigation measures identified in this plan. The
mitigation measures are expected to reduce project construction emissions to a less than
significant level.
L Implementation/Monitoring: In addition, this development will be subject to the
ongoing monitoring programs inherent in the City's Transportation Phasing Plan and
Growth Management Program. These programs will continue to be addressed during
subsequent implementing actions associated with the project.

II.7-2
Addendum to Air Quality Improvement Plan
These local mitigation measures may have a small impact on Air Quality in quantifiable
terms, but their enhancement of future transit options, alternative transportation modes within
the neighborhood and community, and public awareness should have a greater long term
public benefit.
Impact Reduction Measures:
This section of the AQIP amendment demonstrates how the EastLake Business Center SPA
Amendment - 2007 addresses key design issues, at the SPA Plan level, which are directed
toward reducing air pollution impacts. The design issues addressed below would be
incorporated as conditions of approval for the Project:
a. Street/Circulation Design with PedestrianIBicvcle Orientation
The Project does not alter the original air quality improvement plan implementation
measures, such as: trail system, pedestrian connection among centers, bicycle lanes
and other components to promote non-vehicular transportation. Instead, the Project
would be required to incorporate pedestrian connections to the existing
pedestrian!bicycle route connections and bicycle racks to promote the use of non-
motorized modes of transportations.
b. Housing/Employment Density Near Transit
The project provides and allows for additional employment within close proximity of
area housing, allowing for a reduction of vehicle miles traveled for those able to work
and live in the East Lake community.
'" Land Use Mix/Proximity
The Project introduces a hotel facility with full range of amenities to serve the needs
of corporate offices and other businesses in the area. This mixed-use approach will
result in less customers and executives visiting the site traveling west to seek
overnight accommodations restaurant facilities.
d. Site Design with Transit Orientation
The proposed and permitted future buildings will increase the concentration of
employment in the immediate area which may encourage and support the use of
transit services, thereby reducing total vehicle miles traveled. Placement of buildings
and building entrances, particularly larger buildings, can encourage transit or
alternative transportation modes. The SPA Plan does not specify building locations.
Hence, this issue can be addressed in the Tentative Map and site Plan/Design Review
processes when greater project detail is available.
~ Limited Commercial Use
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA includes an existing 16.7 -acre
commercial site. This limited amount of commercial use, which comprises less than
20% of the Business Center II, consists of complementary retail and commercial uses
that attract patrons to multiple stores per visit. The uses on this project site are also
accessible by those who work in the Business Center II and those who ride mass
transit. This will reduce total vehicle miles traveled by providing an alternative to
11119/07
II.7-3
Addendum to Air Quality Improvement Plan
such trips that would only likely be done by private automobile. This will encourage
local service and convenience trips from office and hotel employees and visitors.
[ Bicycle Route Integration with Transit & Emplovment
Bike lanes are designated on Fenton Street within the project area. On other internal
streets, bicyclists will be readily able to share the road with motor vehicles due to the
low volumes and limited speeds allowed. Project bicycle routes connect to regional
systems as indicated in the Circulation Element of the General Plan and provide
access to all regional destinations including the park-and-ride facility, and nearby
commercial centers and residential areas. The project will include connecting
sidewalks to the established walks, and paths and transit facilities.
g, Energy Efficient Landscaping
The project will include landscaping of the parking lots, perimeter grounds, as well as
near the proposed buildings to provide shade and reduce heat gain and energy usage
for both vehicles and buildings.
h. Alternative FuelslTelecenter
The project is provided with high-speed telecommunications services to facilitate
both on-site and off-site communications allowing for reduced commutation. The
project is proposed to include Class-A office and professional buildings and Hotel
with conferencing facilities. These facilities will be maintained with the latest
industry standards for communications.
!c Overall Sustainabilitv ofProiect
The project fits into the overall community plan and achieves the objectives of
providing both a job-housing balance as well as a job-housing match whereby the
high-quality buildings and professional jobs will enable employees to live and work
within the EastLake community, thereby improving overall efficiency, community,
quality of life and sustainability.
L Commitment to Chula Vista Greenstar Program
The developer of the subject project has committed to the first option in Chula Vista's
AQIP Guidelines and will participate in the Greenstar Building Efficiency Program.
The majority (50% or greater) of the structures shall be designed to exceed the
California 2001 Title 24, Part 6, Energy Efficiency Standards (CA 9110, effective
6/1/01) Title 24 by 10%.
Because energy conservation technology and programs are constantly maturing, the
specific program will be identified with application for building permits. The
particular building efficiency program to be used (potentially including a custom
building program) and the buildings to be constructed under the program, shall be
identified on the building permit application and approved prior to issuance of a
building permit. Energy calculations demonstrating program compliance will be
included with the Building Permit application.

Construction Phase:
Even though the creation of dust is limited to the construction phase of a project and
is thus "temporary," a large development could significantly contribute to adverse air
quality impacts. As mitigation for these potential impacts, dust control during grading
operations will be regulated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the San
Diego APCD.
At the time tentative maps are approved for the project, the following measures would
be required to reduce fugitive dust impacts and emissions impacts from construction
equipment:
1h Clearing/Grading
. All unpaved construction areas shall be sprinkled with water or other
acceptable San Diego APCD dust control agents during dust-generating
activities to reduce dust emissions.
b. Disturbed Areas
. On-site stockpiles of excavated material shall be covered or watered.
. Disturbed areas shall be hydro seeded, landscaped, or developed as quickly as
possible and as directed by the City to reduce dust generation.
f., Track-Out Control
. On dry days, dirt and debris spilled onto paved surfaces shall be swept up
immediately to reduce re-suspension of particulate matter caused by vehicle
movement. Approach routes to construction sites shall be cleaned daily of
construction-related dirt in dry weather.
Dirt Hauling
Trucks hauling dirt and debris shall be properly covered to reduce windblown
dust and spills.
High Wind Ooerations
Additional watering or acceptable APCD dust control agents shall be applied
during dry weather or windy days until dust emissions are not visible.
Off-Road EQuioment
Enforce a 20 mile-per-hour speed limit on unpaved surfaces.
Heavy-duty construction equipment with modified combustion/fuel injection
systems for emissions control shall be utilized during grading and construction
activities. Catalytic reduction for gasoline-powered equipment shall be used.
Also, equip construction equipment with prechamber diesel engines (or
equivalent) together with proper maintenance and operation to reduce
emissions of nitrogen oxide, to the extent available and feasible.
. Use low pollutant-emitting construction equipment.
. Use electrical construction equipment, to the extent feasible.

EASTLAKE BUSINESS CENTER SPA AMENDMENT - NOVEMBER 2007
Project Description:
The applicant, IRE ("Applicant") development, is prosing to introduce commercial retail uses
within the existing Eastlake Design District and is requesting a land use designation change
from Light Industrial to Commercial Retail in order to complement the existing furniture and
home improvement businesses presently in the District. The Applicant is also proposing
certain modifications to the property development standards to accommodate up to five story
buildings (up to 76 ft. high), special parking ratios for furniture stores and restaurants and
professional and medical office uses, including medical clinics. Certain specialty retail uses
related to home improvement are currently allowed under a previously approved Master Use
Permit. However, these and other retail uses as well as developmental and operational
flexibilities are proposed to be incorporated into the EastLake II Planned Community District
Regulations.
More specifically, an amendment to the City of Chula Vista General Plan (GP A) was filed to
change the land use designation of approximately 16.7 previously developed acres at the
northeast comer of Fenton Street and Showroom Place (851-891 Showroom Place) Within
the Eastlake Business Center II project, hereafter referred to as Area "A" (see figure.h)
from Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. Concurrent amendments to the Eastlake II
General Development Plan (GDP), Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for
Eastlake Business Center II and associated regulatory documents are proposed for Area A
above and parcels identified as Lot 2 of Map 13971 and Lots 5-8 of Map 14395, herein after
referred to as Area B (see Figure~ and 2430 Fenton Street, herein after referred to as
Area C. The GDP and the Eastlake Business Center II Supplemental SPA amendment consist
of changing the land use designation of Area A from BC-I, Business Center Manufacturing
Park District with Design District Overlay zone to a new commercial land use district and
Area B from BC-I with Design District Overall to BC-4 (Business Center Core District).
Also included are certain modifications to the adopted property development regulations in
order to accommodate greater design and land use flexibility.
The purpose of this Air Quality Improvement Plan for the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) is to respond to the Growth Management
Policies of the City of Chula Vista. The most significant air quality improvement measures
are those policies and regulations established at the broadest geographic level, i.e., State and
Federal. However, there are measures that can be applied on a City or project level which can
have a positive impact.
This addendum presents an overview of these issues, and identifies mitigation/improvement
measures in the following general categories, which can be implemented at the local level.
a. Pedestrian and Bicvcle Paths: The adopted EastLake II General Development Plan, and
subsequent SPA Plans, adopted by the City have emphasized the use of an extensive
trail system, connecting activity centers, to enable non-vehicular travel. Although an
employment park use is not a typical pedestrian destination, the Business Center II
project is integrated with the existing EastLake Village and Business Centers in the
central portion of the community. The clustering of "activity uses" (high school,
community park, and retail) and employment at a central location within the

EASTLAKE BUSINESS CENTER SPA AMENDMENT - NOVEMBER 2007
Introduction:
The approach to Water Conservation Plan Addendum is intended to be comprehensive and
implemented throughout the life of the Project. Water conservation during construction and
after occupancy, as well as the installation of water conserving landscaping, appliances and
fixtures are addressed in this Addendum. Efforts to educate and increase awareness of the
need to conserve water should be disseminated to future owners/tenants by the Applicant.
The following are Water Conservation goals established in the adopted EastLake Business
Center II Supplemental SPA Water Conservation Plan:
1. To conserve water during and after construction of the projects within the EastLake
Business Center II Supplemental SPA.
2. To comply with the water conservation standards and policies of the City of Chula
Vista and Otay Water District.
3. To create a comprehensive framework for the design, implementation and
maintenance of water conserving measures, both indoor and outdoor.
4. To be economically efficient and cost effective.
Proiect Description:
The applicant, IRE ("Applicant") development, is prosing to introduce commercial retail uses
within the existing Eastlake Design District and is requesting a land use designation change
from Light Industrial to Commercial Retail in order to complement the existing furniture and
home improvement businesses presently in the District. The Applicant is also proposing
certain modifications to the property development standards to accommodate up to five story
buildings (up to 76 ft. high), special parking ratios for furniture stores and restaurants and
professional and medical office uses, including medical clinics. Certain specialty retail uses
related to home improvement are currently allowed under a previously approved Master Use
Permit. However, these and other retail uses as well as developmental and operational
flexibilities are proposed to be incorporated into the EastLake II Planned Community District
Regulations.
More specifically, an amendment to the City of Chula Vista General Plan (GP A) was filed to
change the land use designation of approximately 16.7 previously developed acres at the
northeast corner of Fenton Street and Showroom Place (851-891 Showroom Place) Within
the Eastlake Business Center II project, hereafter referred to as Area "A" (see figure->
from Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. Concurrent amendments to the Eastlake II
General Development Plan (GDP), Supplemental Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for
Eastlake Business Center II and associated regulatory documents are proposed for Area A
above and parcels identified as Lot 2 of Map 13971 and Lots 5-8 of Map 14395, herein after
referred to as Area B (see Figure-.--J and 2430 Fenton Street, herein after referred to as
Area C. The GDP and the Eastlake Business Center II Supplemental SPA amendment consist
of changing the land use designation of Area A from BC-I, Business Center Manufacturing
Park District with Design District Overlay zone to a new commercial land use district and
Area B from BC-l with Design District Overall to BC-4 (Business Center Core District).
Also included are certain modifications to the adopted property development regulations in
order to accommodate greater design and land use flexibility.
Water Supply:
EastLake Business Center II Supplemental SPA is located within the OWD's Central Service
Area. The Project would receive its water supply from the Otay Water District's Central
System. The OWD also provides recycled water to the Project area. The District owns and
operates the Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility located near the intersection of
Singer Land and Highway 94. This plant produces up to 1.3 million gallons of recycled water
for non-potable water uses such as irrigation of golf courses, school playing fields, public
parks, and public landscaping. Additional recycled water supply will be available from the
City of San Diego's proposed 6 million gallons per day (MOD) capacity South Bay Water
Reclamation Plant, which will be located in the Tijuana River Valley at Monument and Dairy
Mart Roads near the Mexican border.
Supply of recycled water for the Project would be coordinated by the Otay Water District and
the City of Chula Vista. The phased construction of potable and recycled water facilities,
based on the District-approved master plans, have been installed per public facilities
Financing Plan and subdivision map conditions for the overall Business Center II area.
Water Consumption:
This section presents information on the anticipated increase in water demand as a result of
the Eastlake Business center SPA Amendment. Table 2, below, shows the current water
consumption within the SPA, and projected water consumption after Project built out.
The total proj ected average water consumption at built out, without conservation measures, is
approximately 0.105 million gallons per day (MOD). A difference of _MOD. The focus
of this Addendum is to describe conservation measures for reducing the projected
0.105MOD potable water use within the industrial project.

Water Conservation Measures:
Implementing water conservation measures before a project is constructed provides an
opportunity to include measures, which might not otherwise be practical. Unlike a
residential project where there are a variety of indoor fixtures and appliances, which can be
selected for water conservation, industrial and commercial developments are fairly limited in
options.
Indoors:
Industrial and commercial water demand includes indoor water used by businesses and
service providers. Historically, eighty percent of industrial water is used indoors, primarily
for industrial processes. The adoption of state and federal laws has required that water
efficient equipment and process be implemented in these activities, comparable to the low
flow fixture requirements for new residential development. Implementation of these
requirements will result in conservation savings of twelve to fifteen percent, according to the
Department of Water Resources. The existing 16. 7-acre commercial site, which is built-out,
includes water conservation measures and has the same conservation savings.
Applying this estimate to the Business Center II project, yields an estimated conservation
amount of 0.010 MGD [0.105 MGD x .8 (indoors) x .12 (conservation factor)].
Outdoors:
Landscape/Irrigation - Industrial water demand includes irrigation water used on industrial
sites. Outdoor irrigation is estimated to comprise twenty percent of industrial water use
which is calculated to be 0.015 MGD in the Business Center II project. The Commercial
water demand for irrigation water is estimated to comprise 20% of commercial water use
which is calculated to be 0.006 MGD. The Commercial portion of EastLake Business Center
II is already built out and was constructed in conformance with the industrial zoning.
Therefore, the amendments proposed to accommodate a larger mix of uses on the
commercial site will not result in a change to outdoor water use.
With the installation of an efficient and properly maintained irrigation system, a decrease in
the area planted with cool-season turf and use of low-water requiring plants, a thirty percent
reduction in irrigation water requirements can be expected. Applying this estimate to the
Business Center II project, yields an estimated conservation amount of 0.006 MGD [0.105
MGD x .2 (outdoors) x .30 (conservation factor)].
Water Use Durin!! Construction:
Water conservation measures can also be implemented during the construction/grading
process. The three primary uses are: dust abatement; soil compaction; and, street washing.
Since the imposition of Stage 2 water conservation requirements by the Otay Water District,
water conservation has been incorporated in EastLake construction activities, as appropriate.
Water use has been limited to that necessary for proper soil compaction; soiled streets have
been swept instead of washed. Recycled water could be used for these grading activities,
when it is available.
3
The use of native/naturalized plant materials on graded slopes in open space will reduce the
need for irrigation in the future. Open space slopes within the EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental SPA will be planted with drought tolerant plant materials to reduce the need
for irrigation and maintenance.
Implementation Measures:
In addition to the implementation measures outlined in the previously adopted EastLake
Business Center II Supplemental SPA, the Applicant of the subject Project has committed to
following the water conservation measures:
. Indoor water conservation measures:
o Hot-Water Pipe Insulation: Install insulation on all hot water pipes in all common
areas and all tenant-developed areas.
o Pressure Reducing Valves: Provide pressure reducing valves at all meters, set to
deliver water at no higher than 60 psi.
. At least one outdoor water conservation measure and at least one additional water
conservation measure from either the indoor or outdoor categories.
o Outdoor Water Conservation Measures
. Water Efficient Irrigation System - Use of rain sensors and soil moisture
measuring devices for scheduling and controlling all landscape irrigation
programs in commercial, industrial and business centers including tenant
areas.
. Evapotranspiration (ET) Controllers - Timed, fixed irrigation scheduling
based on estimates of actual plant evapotranspiration rates. Radio signal from
a central control station or satellite transmits information to the controllers to
operate the sprinklers for the appropriate length oftime.
. Water-Efficient Landscaping - Use of native vegetation and drought tolerant
plant materials, avoiding grass and turf to the extent practical and use of
irrigation systems and controllers as required by the Chula Vista Landscape
Manual Use. In addition, the use of drip irrigation where possible and
restriction of sprinkler irrigation as recommended by the water purveyors.
. Recycled Water - Expand use of recycled water beyond areas mandated by
the water purveyor to those areas where landscaping is within a reasonable
reach of recycled water pipelines, to the extent that such use is acceptable to
regulatory authorities.
. Outdoor Garden Sales - All tenants with outdoor garden sales areas to install
micro-irrigation systems (trickle or drip irrigation) and provide water
conservation educational materials for consumers.
o Indoor Water Conservation Measures
.
Dual-Flush Toilets - Install dual-flush (ULFT) toilets in public restrooms
including gas station restrooms.
4
. Waterless Urinals - Install waterless urinals in public restrooms (men's
rooms) including gas station restrooms.
. Pre-Rinse Sprayer on Sinks - Install automatic shut-off sprayer for pre-rinsing
dishes with a maximum flow rate of 1.6 gpm in all restaurant and fast-food
units.
. High-Efficiency Dishwashers - Install high-efficiency dishwashers in
restaurant buildings.
. Air-Cooled Ice Machines - Install air-cooled ice machines instead of water-
cooled machines in restaurants.
. Conductivity Meters - Install conductivity meters on cooling towers to
regulate cycling of cooling water and chemicals.
o Optional Water Conservation Measures
. Sub-meter all individual tenants in buildings.
. Provide educational materials and guidance to tenants.
Implementation Timin!!
All implementation measures listed above shall be incorporated in the building plans and
installed as part of the individual projects prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy.

5.1. INTRODUCTION:
This docwnent is a SllJ3fllemeBt te the RflflrSved EastLake I SP!. Plan !.mendmcnt
amends the supplemental Public Facilities Finance Plan (dated Jane 3ll, 1995 October 27.
1999). The amendment addresses the conversion of approximatelv 16.7 acres of Limited
Industrial to Commercial Retail land within the EastLake Business Center II development
and a new Light Industrial Land Use designation for the remainder of the proiect site.
The proiect site consists of approximatelv 43.7 acres located on the northside of Otav
Lakes Road and west of Hunte Parkwav. The proiect site contains three distinct areas
(See Exhibit 3). Area A contains the existing Eastlake Design District which consists of
the aforementioned 16.7 acres. Area B consists of relativelv flat vacant building pads.
Area C is vacant land located next to Otav Lakes Road. The supplement. as amended,
addresses the public facility needs associated with the EastLake II SPA Plan Business
Center II project. Further, the supplemental PFFP. as amended. identifies each
improvement needed to service the Business Center II property, the phasing and the
appropriate funding sources.
The implementing actions covered by the Public Facilities and Financing Plan are:
. Use of Public Financing Mechanisms where applicable
. Construction of major streets, sewer, water and drainage facilities
. Internal subdivision improvements pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act
. Provision of other public facilities
. Maintenance of certain facilities such as open space areas and street medians.
5.1.1 BACKGROUND:
The EastLake Business Center II is an expansion of the original EastLake Business
Center established in the EastLake I SPA approval in 1985. It will continue~ the
eastward development of the original plan and complete~ the anticipated planned
employment/industrial uses te be develeflcd within the planned community of EastLake.
The first three residential neighborhoods and the commercial and industrial districts were
approved in the EastLake I SPA. The Business Center II will extended development
eastward, north ofOtay Lakes Road, towards the fumre EastLake Woods neighborhood.
. Amendment History
Februarv 19. 1985: The Chula Vista Citv Council adopted the EastLake I SPA and
PFFP.
June 30. 1992: The Chula Vista City Council adopted the EastLake I SPA
Amendment including an amended PFFP. The amended PFFP updated and replaced
the original 1985 PFFP and addressed the construction of a Kaiser Permanente
Medical Center.
November 24. 1999: The Chula Vista City Council adopted the EastLake II GDP
Amendment and the EastLake I SPA Amendment. This action included the EastLake
Business Center II Supplemental PFFP to reflect the incorporation of 108 acres of
10
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
Research and Limited Manufacturing (Business Center II expansion) into the
EastLake I Public Facilities Finance Plan. The Supplemental PFFP is a separate
document. which is intended to supplement the original EastLake I PFFP. identifies
additional public facilities needed for the EastLake Business Center II proiect and
ensured that the phased development is consistent with the overall goals and policies
of the Citv's General Plan. Growth Management Program. and the EastLake II
General Development Plan.
September 17. 2007: The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental PFFP
Amendment was submitted to the City of Chula Vista to address the conversion of
approximatelv 16.7 developed acres (Area A) at 851-891 Showroom Place from
Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. The amendment would allow additional
commercial retail uses to compliment the existing tenant mix. Concurrent
amendments to the Eastlake II General Development Plan (GDP), Supolemental
Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan for Eastlake Business Center II and associated
regulatorv documents are proposed for Area A and parcels identified as Lot 2 of Map
13971 and Lots 5-8 of Map 14395 (Area B) and 2430 Fenton Street (Area C). The
GDP and SPA Amendment consist of changing the land use designation of Area A
from BC-1 (Business Center Manufacturing Park District) with Design District
Overlav to a new commercial evC-5) land use district and Area B and C from BC-I
(with Area B currentlv including the Design District Overlav) to BC-4 (Business
Center Core District). Also rescind the previouslv adopted Design District Overlav
Zone and include certain modifications to the adooted orooertv development
regulations in order to accommodate greater design and land use flexibilitv including
increasing the building height to 76 feet for Area B and C.
5.1.2 PURPOSE:
The J'llHpose sf this aeollHleHt is te SHflJ'llemem t-he IIflPf6'/ed BastLake I PFFP (Elated
JUBe 30, 1992. This supplement. as amended. addresses public facility needs associated
with the conversion ofaoproximatelv 16.7 acres oforeviouslv develooed industrial land
to Commercial Retail (also known as the Design District) and the introduction of a new
Light Industrial Land Use designation within the EastLake Business Center II project.
The new Light Industrial Land Use designation will change Area B and C from BC-l to BC-
4. This change would oermit hotels and medical clinics with a Conditional Use Permit and
increase the building height to 76 feet. Additionallv. a five stOry hotel and four stOry office
building are prooosed on Area C and are included in this analvsis. Regarding required
public facilities needs, the supplemental PFFP. as amended. identifies a preliminary cost
estimate for each improvement installation, phasing and appropriate funding sources.
The purpose of all PFFP's in the City of Chula Vista is to implement the City's Growth
Management Program and to meet the General Plan goals and objectives, specifically
those of the Growth Management Element. The Growth Management Program ensures
that development occurs only when the necessary public facilities and services exist or
are provided concurrent with the demands of new development. The Growth
Management Program requires that a PFFP be prepared for every new development

Supplemental PFFP Amendment
project, which requires either SPA Plan or tentative map approval. Similarly,
amendments to a supplemental SPA Plan require an amendment or in this 61lSe a
slIpplement to the supplemental PFFP.
The PFFP is intended to be a dynamic and flexible document. The goal of the Financing
Plan is to assure adequate levels of service are achieved for all public facilities impacted
by the project. It is understood that assumed growth projections and related public
facility needs are subject to a number of external factors, such as the state of the
economy, the City's future land use approval decisions, etc. It is also understood that the
funding sources specified herein may change due to financing programs available in the
future or requirements of either state or federal law. It is intended that revisions to cost
estimates and funding programs be handled as administrative revisions, whereas revisions
to the facilities-driven growth phases are to be accomplished through an update process
via an amendment to or a supplement to the PFFP.
5.1.3 ASSUMPTIONS
There are a number of key assumptions implicit to this supplemental PFFP. as amended.
The assumptions play a major part in determining public facility needs, the timing of
those needs and the staging of growth corresponding to the various facilities. Key land
use and phasing assumptions can be summarized as follows:
A. The proposed -l-999 EastLake I SPA Plan !\menament Business Center II
Supplemental SPA Plan Amendment is limited to~ the annellation of I(J1.7 aeres of
Resear-efi aHa Limited MOBHfaetlHing, iale...m IlS EastLalce BHsiness Center II, to the
EastLalce I SP!\ Plan bowularies (See Bleliibit 3).
1. An amendment to the Citv of Chula Vista General Plan (GP A) to change
the land use designation of approximately 16.7 previouslv deyeloped acres
at the northeast comer of Fenton Street and Showroom Place (851-891
Showroom Place) within the Eastlake Business Center (Area "A") from
Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. The GP A amendment would
allow additional commercial retail types of uses to complement the
existing tenant mix.
2. Concurrent amendments to the Eastlake II GDP. supplemental SPA Plan
and associated regulatorv documents are also proposed for Area A. B and
C. The GDP and SPA Amendment consist of repealing the existing
Design District Overlay from Area A and B. The amendment would
change the land use designation of Area A from BC-I (Business Center
Manufacturing Park District) to a new commercial (VC-5) land use district
and Area B from BC-I to BC-4 (Business Center Core District). Also
included are certain modifications to the adopted property development
regulations in order to accommodate greater design and land use
flexibilitv. including an increase in building height from 35 to 60 feet UP
to a maximum of76 feet for Area Band C.

3. The proiect proposes the repeal of previous Iv adopted Master Use Permit
PCC-05-070 for Area A and B and the approval of new conditional use
permit and design review for a proposed hotel and office building on Area
C.
4. The new conditional use permit application reqUests permission to
establish and operate an approximatelv 148.024 square foot. five-story
hotel with 156 rooms and approximatelv 9.000 square feet of conference
rooms and other amenities on Area C. The hotel will also provide a
restaurant for its guests and a total of 163 parking spaces.
5. A design review application was also filed for the construction of an
approximatelv 122.071 square foot. four-story Class A office building
providing approximatelv 433 parking spaces in Area C of the EastLake

5.1.4. THRESHOLD STANDARDS:
City Council Resolution No. 13346 approved eleven public facilities and services with
related threshold standards and implementation measures, which were listed in a policy
statement dated November 17, 1987 and have subsequently been refined based on
recommendations-from the Growth Management Oversight Commission (GMOC).
The eleven public facilities and services with related threshold standards are:
. Traffic
. Police
. Fire/EMS
. Schools
. Libraries
. Parks and Recreation
. Water
. Sewer
. Drainage
. Air Quality
. Fiscal
During the development of the Growth Management Program two new facilities were
added to the list of facilities to be analyzed:
. Civic Facilities
. Corporation Yard
Threshold standards are used to identify when new or upgraded public facilities are
needed to mitigate the impacts of new development. Building permits will not be issued
unless compliance with these standards can be met. These threshold standards have been
prepared to guarantee that public facilities or infrastructure improvements will keep pace
with the demands of growth.
The 2005 General Plan Update includes a Growth Management Element that provides a
framework for continuing the evolution of the City's Growth Management Program. A
revised Growth Management Ordinance and Growth Management Program Guidelines is
planned for Citv Council review and adoption in 2007.

EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
5.3.1.3. TRAFFIC FACILITY & ADEQUACY ANALYSIS:
1999 Supplemental PFFP
The prepBsea prejeet eeHsists ef EastLake Business Center II Supplemental PFFP
addressed a 70,000 square foot corporate office and a 20,000 square foot warehouse on
10 acres (known as the Leviton Project) and an additional 98 acres of general industrial
uses. The number of trips estimated to be generated by the project are based on traffic
generation rates published by SANDAG in the Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates, July, 1998 for corporate offices (7 daily trips/I,OOO square feet) and
warehousing uses (5 daily trips/I,OOO square feet). For the remaining 98 acres, an
average of the corporate office rate and warehousing rate on a per acre basis was utilized.
This rate was calculated to be 85 daily trips per acre by LL&G.
2007 Supplemental PFFP Amendment
The EastLake Business Center II Supplemental PFFP Amendment addresses a land use
change of previouslv developed 16.7 acres of Research & Limited Manufacturing to
Commercial Retail (Area A. see Exhibit 3). The document also addresses the concurrent
amendments to the Eastlake II GDP. SPA Plan and associated regulatorv documents that
are affect Area A. B and C). The amendment trip generation was estimated bv LL&G
based on the Brief Guide of Vehicular Traffic Generation Rates for the San Diego
Region. April 2002. bv SANDAG.
Table 5-5 summarizes the existing and amendment trip generation with the proposed land
uses. Currently. Area A is calculated to generate a total ADT of 1.110 ADT with 44 trips
during the AM peak hour (31 inbound and 13 outbound) and 100 trips during the PM
peak hour (50 inbound and 50 outbound). The land use change will generate a net 3.900
ADT with 139 trips during the AM peak hour (110 inbound and 29 outbound) and 355
trips during the PM peak hour (189 inbound and 166 outbound)
Area B site land uses were calculated to generate a total of 5.440 ADT with 163 trips
during the AM peak hour (98 inbound and 65 outbound) and 448 trips during the PM
peak hour (224 inbound and 224 outbound),
The traffic study calculated the traffic for Areas A & B to be a net of 9.340 ADT with
302 trips during the AM peak hour (208 inbound and 94 outbound) and 803 trips during
the PM peak hour (413 inbound and 390 outbound), with the pass by reduction.
A. Project Buildout:
1999 Supplemental PFFP
A buildout analysis was included in the LL&G Traffic Impact Analysis (dated
October 13, 1999). The analysis indicates that all intersections in the project area are
calculated to operate at LOS D or better with the addition of the project traffic with
the exception of the Telegraph Canyon Road/I-805 Northbound Ramps intersection.
The buildout analysis also indicates that all studied street segments in the project area
will operate at LOS D or better.

EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
2007 Supplemental PFFP Amendment
The Supplemental PFFP amendment focuses on the land use change of Area A from
Limited Industrial to Commercial Retail. However. from a traffic perspective there
are two projects proposed on Fenton Street between Harold Place and Olay Lakes
Road. The first is the Eastlake Design District (Area A and B) and the second is the
Eastlake Corporate Center (Area C). Individual Traffic Impact Analysis reports have
been prepared for each of the two proiects by LL&G (Traffic Impact Analysis.
EastLake Design District by LL&G. dated Aul!Ust 7. 2007 and Traffic Impact
Analvsis. EastLake Corporate Center by LL&G. dated August 9. 2007. Exhibit 3
depicts the locations of these proiects. As seen in Exhibit 3. A and B depict the
Eastlake Design District and C depicts the location of the Eastlake Corporate Center.
The traffic section of the Supplemental PFFP amendment includes both proiects for
analysis PUfDoses. Following are brief descriptions of each oroiect.
1. Eastlake Design District
The Eastlake Design District (Area A) is located in the northeastern Quadrant of
the OlaY Lakes Road / Fenton Street intersection in eastern Chula Vista. The
onlv access to the site is from Fenton Street via Showroom Place. north ofOtay
Lakes Road. The EastIake Design District currentlv consists mostlv of
furniture stores. Area A consists of 231.566 Square Feet (SF) building area of
which 189.697 SF is currentlv occupied by furniture stores. It is now olanned
to modify the land uses in Area A of the project and provide 125.100 SF
furniture retail. 39.350 SF office. 39.350 SF Specialty Retail/Strip
Commercial and 27.800 SF Restaurant for a total of231.566 SF.
Area B is presentlv vacant and even though no site-specific project is prooosed.
the traffic impact report analyzed a worst-case scenario (see Table 5-5), which
included specialty retail uses. Subsequent changes to the applicant's proposal
have resulted in Area B being oroPOsed for BC-4 industrial land uses instead.
BC-4 uses are industrial in nature and have less daily trip generation potential
then specialty retail. which were analyzed in the traffic study. The City
Engineering Deoartment has determined that this change will not result in anv
additional dailv trio generation. However. conditional uses mav require
additional traffic analysis not contemplated in the L1& G Traffic Analysis.
2. Eastlake Corporate Center
The planned Eastlake Corporate Center (Area C) is located on the south side of
Fenton Street at its intersection with Harold Place / Hitachi Place in the City of
Chula Vista. Two access drivewavs will be provided. one via the existing
Hitachi Driveway on Fenton Street opposite Harold Place and the second east
of Harold Place. Two buildings are prooosed to be constructed. a 155-room
hotel with an aooroxllnate 9.000 SQuare foot convention / meeting rooms and
an aoproximate 120.000 Square foot office building.

The LL&G Traffic Analysis determined that the proiect at buildout has significant
impacts at the following:
. Intersections
OlaY Lakes Road / Vons Driyeway (Cumulatiye Impact)
Showroom Place / Fenton Street (Direct Impact)
These impacts can be mitigated by implementation of the following measures:
. Intersections
Olav Lakes Road / Vons Driveway:
Dualleft-tum lanes. one shared through / right lane should be provided in
the northbound approach and the existing signal phasing should be
modified to provide north / south protected phasing. LOS E conditions are
calculated prior to the addition of proiect traffic. The proiect traffic is
estimated to contribute towards worsening the existing condition. This
impact has been previously identified and these mitigation measures have
been previouslv recommended for the Eastlake Village Walk and Eastlake
30
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
Village Center Proiects. These mitigation measures have not vet been
implemented. It is recommended that these improvements be included in
the next CIP.
Showroom Place / Fenton Street:
Install a traffic signal when warrants are satisfied (expected to be needed
upon imolementation of Area B). Provide one shared through / right-turn
lane and one left-turn lane on southbound (outbound) Showroom Place.
Provide one left-turn lane and one right-turn lane on northbound Fenton
Street with right-turn overlao ohasing.
The LL&G Traffic Analvsis also concluded that an overall decrease in oeak hour
traffic would occur on the Otav Lakes Road street segment. from SR 125 to
Eastlake Parkwav. based on a comoarison of the prooosed oroiect to the aoproved
industrial land uses. The prooosed proiect trio generation was comoared bv
LL&G to the amount of traffic that would be generated bv the existing zoning
site land uses. LL&G determined that the proposed oroiect is calculated to
generate a net increase of 3.250 ADT. but 518 fewer trips during the AM peak
hour (452 fewer inbound trips and 66 fewer outbound trips) and 39 additional
trips during the PM oeak hour (290 additional inbound trios and 251 fewer
outbound trios). The lesser number of trios in the oeak hour volumes is due to the
modified land uses since each land use has different trip generation
characteristics. Therefore. the proiect is calculated to not significantlv imoact the
Otav Lakes Road segment.

5.3.1.4.
MASS TRANSIT:
The mass transit requirements were identified and required as part of the original
EastLake I PFFP in 1985. All of the provisions identified in the adopted EastLake I
PFFP and subsequent amendments shall remain in effect as a requirement of this
Supplemental PFFP, as amended, at buildout.
5.3.1.5.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITY REQUIREMENTS:
An analysis of Telegraph Canyon Road using the City's Transportation Management Plan
(TMP) methodology shows that Telegraph Canyon Road can accommodate project
traffic, especially since the project will add the majority of its generated traffic in the
counterflow direction on Telegraph Canyon Road. However, there is a "point" constraint
on Telegraph Canyon Road, the 1-805 northbound ramps intersection which LL&G
believes should be evaluated to provide a worst case analysis. This analysis showed that
a maximum of 42 gross acres could be developed before a significant impact (two second
increase in delay) would be calculated at this location assuming no new network is
provided in the eastern Territories.
The extension of Olympic Parkway from Brandywine Avenue to Paseo Ranchero was
found to partially, but not fully, mitigate the project impacts. Once Olympic Parkway
extends to Paseo Ranchero, 59 gross acres could be built before a significant impact
would be calculated. For the remaining 45.7 acres, the applicant must wait for Olympic
Parkway to be extended from Paseo Ranchero to Wueste Road or SR 125 is constructed.
These limitations are no longer in effect since Olvmpic Parkwav has been extended from
Paseo Ranchero to Wueste Road and SR 125 is eminent.

CITY THRESHOLD STANDARDS:
Police Services are provided by the City of Chula Vista Police Department. The purpose
of the TIrreshold Standard is to maintain or improve the current level of police services
throughout the City by ensuring that adequate levels of staff, equipment and training are
provided.
A. Emergency Response (Prioritv It properly equipped and staffed police units shall
respond to 84 .li percent of "Priority One" emergency calls within seven (7}
minutes and maintain an average response time to all "Priority One" emergency
calls of ~ five minutes and thirtv seconds (5.5 minutes) or less (measured

respond to fu? 57 percent of "Priority Two Urgent" calls within seven (7} minutes
and maintain an average response time to all "Priority Two" calls of seven 1
minutes and thirtY seconds (7.5 minutes) or less (measured annuallv).
5.3.2.2. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
Police protection for the EastLake II project is provided by the Chula Vista Police
Department (CVPD). The CVPD is headquartered in its new facility located at m 315
Fourth Avenue in Chula Vista. Currently, CVPD maintains a staff of +19 approximatelv
258 sworn officers and lQ approximatelv 98 civilian/support personnel. The department
is recruiting new officers and has approximatelv IS officers in training either in the field
or in the academv. The EastLake Business Center II project is east af within police patrol
beat 32, which is served by one patrol car 24 hours per day.
5.3.2.3. ADEQUACY ANALYSIS:
Based upon the Growth Management Oversight Commission -l-991 2007 Annual Report
dated AJlril1998 August 2007, both measures for Priority I Calls for Service (CFS) were
met, while aHly aHe sf the t'.\"a meaSIiFBS fer PriaFity I CFS was met. For Priority I CFS,
the Police Department responded to 83.,& 82.3% of the calls within an average of ~ 4.85
minutes. The Priority II CFS has not been met for several vears. For Priority II CFS. the
department responded to 40% of the calls within an average of 12.5 minutes. The
GMOC has submitted recommendations for continued improvement of the response to
priority II CFS. Included in the recommendations is a call for City Council slIflJlert af the
Psliee Department's effaFts te adelltlately staff and fliRd the eampletiaR af a laBg range
strategie plan to direct the City Manager to have the Police Department prepare and
implement an action plan addressing the departments performance in meeting the
threshold for Prioritv II calls. It was further recommended that the plan be completed in
2008 so that progress in development and implementation can be reflected in the
department's next report to the GMOC.

5.3.2.4. POLICE FACILITY REQUIREMENTS:
The development of the Business Center II project as amended. will incrementally increase the
demand for police services. TIle developmell.t of the prejeet has the potential of impaet of 475
eljlli'llIiell.t dVlelling wJits (BOO) whicR '.vill increase the poJ*l!atiofl by appfe)[fmately 1428

of police faeilities 'NOWa be reljllirea to Roase the additional 2.0 officers (222.25 SEjaaFe feet per
officer). Since the approval of the EastLake Business Center II proiect in 1999. the CVPD has
had a nearlv 30% increase in officer staffmg. The deoartment is properlv equipped and staffed
to meet Priority I thresholds. however in previous vears. the number of actual on-duty staff was
substantiallv lower than the number of authorized and/or emploved patrol officers: it appeared
that priority II thresholds were not met as a result of the. low actual on-duty staffing levels. The
Denartment has recentlv reached full authorized staffing and expects a full complement of
trained patrol officers to be working in the field. In addition. the new headquarters facility at
315 Fourth Avenue is expected to be adequate through the build-out of eastern Chula Vista.
Although the overall number of calls for service. as well as the number of Priority II calls have
not increased during the Past reporting period. Priority II CFS to the department's largest
geographical beat - beat 32 - increased 9"10 since the last repOrting period. The denartment
proiects that additional staff mav be necessary for at least one additional beat in the Eastern
part of the City.

The EastLake Business Center II parcels are within the Prioritv I response time that meets
the Threshold Standards.

5.3.7 WATER
5.3.7.1 CITY THRESHOLD STANDARDS:
A. Potable Water:
Objectives and thresholds for water quality and availability have been determined by the
City of Chula Vista. To ensure that water quality standards are not decreased during
development and that adequate storage and construction of facilities occurs concurrently
with growth, the City of Chula Vista requires a service availability letter from the water
district for each project. A 12- to 18-month development forecast from the City and the
County Water Authority (CW A) to the Otay Water District (OWD), requesting
information on water availability, current capacity, storage capacity, and quality is also
required. The Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC) reviews impacts to
water availability and quality on an annual basis, after reviewing the water district's
response letters. The GMOC then presents its reports to the City Council of Chula Vista
with its determination.
B. Recycled Water:
Currently, the City of Chula Vista does not have threshold standards for Recycled water
quality and availability.
5.3.7.2. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
A. Potable Water:
The approximate 104.7 gross acre (74.8 net acres) EastLake Business Center II is located
within the OWD Central Service Area and is incorporated in Improvement District (LD.)
27. Pursuant to the Triad Agreement, that was entered into between the EastLake
Company and OWD on May 31,1989, all parcels within the EastLake Business Center II
are required to annex into OWD's Improvement District (LD.) 22 prior to approval of
plans or water service being available.
The Triad Agreement established a capacity fee per EDU for the majority of the EastLake
development that is intended to fund construction of regional storage facilities. As shown
in Table 5-6 11. the Triad Agreement includes 9,355 EDU's for the EastLake
development. Of this amount, EastLake has constructed 2,731 EDU's in the Greens
subdivision and is currently developing 1,481 planned EDU's in the Trails subdivision.
Additionally, EastLake has relinquished 1,450 EDU's back to OWD. Per the agreement,
all of the planned Business Center II, totaling 648 EDU's, will be counted against the
total EastLake EDU allocation in the Triad Agreement and will be required to pay
capacity fees as specified in the agreement.

Potable water is provided to the Central Service Area by the San Diego County Water
Authority via the Second San Diego Aqueduct. Water is delivered at Aqueduct
connections No. 10 and No. 12 (former connections No.4 and No.9) and is conveyed by
gravity to OWD's emergency/operating reservoirs at a grade of 624 feet. Water is then
pumped from the 624 Zone to the 711 and 980 Zones.
The Central Area Pump Station located at the Patzig 624 Reservoir site, pumps water to
the 711 distribution system and storage reservoirs. The 980 Zone is supplied by the
EastLake Pump Station, which lifts water from the 711 Zone distribution system to the
980 Zone distribution system and storage reservoirs.
There are two existing reservoirs in the 980 Zone system, designated as the 980-1 and
980-2 Reservoirs. The reservoirs are located within the Otay Water District Use Area
situated north of the Rolling Hills Ranch development. The reservoirs have a capacity of
five million gallons (MG) each for a total of 10 MG.
Potable water eaR be is delivered to the EastLake Business Center II through existing
transmission mains in Lane A venue and Otay Lakes Road. The pfepSSea on-site
distribution system will connect~ to the 20-inch 980 Zone main in Otay Lakes Road and
the 16-inch main in Fenton Street. Connections to both existing transmission mains elIft
be made as Jlalt sf Phase L^. develspment, prBvidiftg provides redundant sources of
supply to the project.
B. Recycled Water:
Recycled water supply is currently available to the EastLake area from the 1.3 million
gallon per day (mgd) capacity Ralph W. Chapman Water Recycling Facility located near
the intersection of Singer Lane and Highway 94. Recycled water is delivered to storage
ponds located in OWD Use Area situated north of Proctor Valley Road. The ponds
operate with a high water level of approximately 950 feet. The EastLake Business Center

5.3.8.5. FINANCING SEWER FACILITIES:
To fund the necessary future improvements to the Telegraph Canyon Trunk Sewer,
development impact fees have been established by the City of Chula Vista. The July 31,
1992, Telegraph Canyon Sewer Basin & Improvement and Financing Plan was prepared
for the City of Chula Vista by Willdan Associates to establish a fee to fund future
improvements to the Telegraph Canyon Interceptor System. This fee is required to be
paid by all future developments within the Telegraph Canyon Gravity Sewer Basin to
fund improvements required to serve ultimate development within the basin. City of
Chula Vista Ordinance Number 2533 established the fee to be paid for future
development within the Telegraph Canyon Gravity Sewer Basin that connect into the
existing system. The erigiRal methed ef eailmlating the sewer DIF was lly HsiRg a faeter
ef Hl EDU's/aere. Usiag the The current fee is, $216.59 $3.478/EDU, the DIF fer Lets
1 12 ~witftiR the Telegraph ClH11eR Sewer Basia is estimated at i!>l63,n8. However,
the actual sewer DIF will be calculated on the number of fixture units and is subject
periodic adjustments. The number of fixture units for the EastLake Business Center II
will be determined during the building permit process.
f. peRiea of the prejeet (Lets 13 16) lies witfiiR the Salt Creek Sewer Basin. If a sewer

5.3.8.6. THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE:
The sewer facilities to accommodate sewer flows from the EastLake Business Center II
project have been identified. Generally, the City will not allow the design capacity of
trunk sewers to be exceeded. If the flows from the project are anticipated to exceed the
design capacity of downstream sewers, the City could require the construction of relief
lines. In some cases, the City may allow the design capacity but not the hydraulic
capacity of sewer lines to be exceeded at peak flow before relief facilities are required.
The EastLake Business Center II project shall pay fees pursuant to City of Chula Vista
ordinance~ er flfevide tRlnk sewer iffiJlfO'/ements, as needed. The development of Phases

The Metro svstem currently has adequate sewerage treatment capacitv to serve the region
until approximatelv 2025 when new treatment facilities are expected to become
operational. The Citv of Chula Vista. however. mav reach its contractual capacitv limits
sooner than 2025. The developer shall pav capacitv fees at building permit issuance.
Development shall not occur without adequate sewer capacity as determined by the City
Engineer. Building permits will not be issued if the City Engineer has determined that
adequate sewer capacity does not exist. All development must comply with the
Municipal Code. specifically M.C. Sections 19.09.010 (A) 6 and 13.14.030.

Objectives and thresholds for hydrology have been determined by the City of Chula
Vista. The Growth Management Oversight Committee (GMOC) shall annually review
impacts to hydrology on an annual basis to determine its ability to meet the City's goals
and objectives.
5.3.9.2. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
A Hydrology Study was performed by Hunsaker & Associates, August 31, 1999, to
evaluate the pre-development and post-development flows discharging from the site.
According to the Study, approximately 80% of the surface waters on site drains south and
west to the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Basin while the remaining 20% drains south and
east to into the Salt Creek Drainage Basin. Currently, runoff is conveyed directly to San
Diego Bay through the city of Chula Vista.
The project site currently discharges to several outlet locations generally located on the
perimeter of the proposed development. Existing drainage improvements in the vicinity
of the Business Center 1I development include an existing 48" and 24" reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain pipes within Otay Lakes Road. The 48" pipe drains
towards the west and is part of the Telegraph Canyon basin. The 24" pipe drains towards
the southeast and is part of the Salt Creek basin. In addition, there is an existing 36" RCP
storm drain in Boswell Road and an existing 18" RCP storm drain in Fenton Street within
the adjacent Business Center I development. Both the Boswell Road and Fenton Street
systems drain into the Telegraph Canyon basin system site.
5.3.9.3. DRAINAGE FACILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Diversion of drainage from one basin to another basin is prohibited. The project shall
drain that portion of the site that is within the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Basin (Lots I
through 12) to existing drainage facilities within Otay Lakes Road and Boswell Road.

Development (LID) BMPs and treatment control BMPs for the control of sediment and
non-visible pollutants. The site inspection requirements and site-specific Storm Water
Sampling and Analvsis Strategv (SWSAS) required in the SWPPP will provide
recommendations for storm water testing to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs.
Adiustments to the BMPs will be made as necessary to maintain or improve their
effectiveness.
For undeveloped lots within the proiect area the use of LID BMPs can be effective in
minimizing the impact of urban runoff. LID BMPs help Preserve and restore the natural
hvdrologic cvcle of the site allowing for filtration and infiltration which can greatlv
reduce the volume. peak flow rate. velocity. and pollutant loads of urban runoff.
The completed proiect will incorporate a Post-Construction Storm Water Operation and

AIR QUALITY
5.3.10.1. CITY THRESHOLD STANDARDS:
The City annually provides the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (APCD) with a
12 to 18 month development forecast and request an evaluation of its impact on current
and future air quality management programs, along with recent air quality data. The
growth forecast and APCD response letters must be provided to the GMOC for inclusion
in its review.
5.3.10.2. EXISTING CONDITIONS:
The EastLake Business Center II project is within the San Diego Air Basin ("Basin").
The existing air quality for the Chula Vista area is monitored by the State Air Resources
Board at a monitoring station approximately five miles west of the project area. Air
quality is usually expressed as the number of days in which the air pollution levels
exceed state standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and federal
standards set by the EP A.
Of special concern to CARB and the EP A are the pollutants ozone, carbon monoxide,
particulates, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and lead. Ozone is the major primary
pollutant in the Basin. The Basin is designated by the state and the feds as a "serious"
non-attainment area for ozone. In 1994, San Diego exceeded the state standard for ozone
on 79 days. No violations of the state standard for carbon monoxide have been recorded
since 1991. The Basin is in compliance for particulates and the pollutants nitrogen
dioxide, sulfur dioxide and lead.
5.3.10.2. AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN:
An Air Quality Improvement Plan is required by the city for all major development
projects (50 dwelling units or greater, or commercial and industrial projects with 50
EDD's of water demand or greater). This plan is required at the Sectional Planning Area
(SPA) Plan level, or equivalent for projects which are not processed through a Planned
Community Zone. The EastLake Business Center II Air Quality Improvement Plan, as
amended, was prepared by Jay Kneip Land Planning (August 9, 1999) and amended
August 23. 2007.
According to the EastLake Business Center II Air Quality Improvement Plan, as
amended. the future development of the EastLake Business Center II project will be
consistent with Regional Air Quality Strategy (RAQS) in the Basin. However, in
conformance with the threshold standard, the City will annually provide the San Diego
Air Pollution Control District (APCD) with a 12-18 month development forecast. The
City will also request an evaluation of its impact on current and future air quality
68

management programs, along with recent air quality data. The growth forecast and
APCD response letters must be provided to the GMOC for inclusion in its annual review.
5.3.10.2. THRESHOLD COMPLIANCE:
The City continues to provide a development forecast to the APCD in conformance with
the threshold standard. See EastLake Business Center II Air Quality Improvement Plan
in the SPA plan.

FISCAL:
5.3.11.1. THRESHOLD STANDARD:
A. The GMOC shall be provided with an annual fiscal impact report which provides an
evaluation of the impacts of growth on the City, both in tenns of operations and capital
improvements. This report should evaluate actual growth over the previous 12-month
period, as well as projected growth over the next 12-18 month period, and 3-5 year period.
B. The GMOC shall be provided with an annual "economic monitoring report" which
provides an analysis of economic development activity and indicators over the next
previous 12-month period, as well as projected growth over the next 12-18 month period,
and 3-5 year period.
5.3.11.2. FACILITIES MASTER PLAN:
A fiscal impact analysis amendment prepared by CIC Research, Inc., (see Appendix A)
identifies the estimated fiscal impact that the EastLake Business Center II prejeet, as
amendment. will have on the operation and maintenance budgets of the City of Chula Vista
(general fund). The Business Center II project will transfered approximately 104.7 acres of
Research and Limited Manufacturing designated land from the EastLake III GDP to the
EastLake II GDP. Information pertaining to the scope of development was derived from
BastLal<e CeHlflllll)' citv staff. The Business Center II pfE~jeet amendment will, previde change
approximately f4,8 16.7 net acres of Research and Limited Manufacturing to Commercial
Retail: create a 4.6 acre hotel site: create a 5.0 acre office site and retain 18.7 acres of Research
and Limited Manufacturing.
The CIC analysis of revenues and expenditures did not include DIF fees. The analysis focused
on the city's general fund account for city services. Estimated revenues were from property
taxes (secured and unsecured), property transfer tax, sales tax, franchise tax, TOT, business
licenses, utility taxes, etc. Estimated expenditures were from police, fire, administration, public
works and planning.

The methodologv used bv CIC for the amendment is essentiallv the same as the previous fiscal
impact analysis. Two basic methodologies were utilized in estimating public agencv revenues
and exoenditures: the case study and the average cost/revenue method. The case studv method
was used to estimate secured propertv tax the transient occupancv tax (fan for the hotel site
and some of the estimated sales taxes from the hotel/motel site. The average cost/revenue
method develops per unit/acre costs and revenues based on the associated costs/revenues
allocated to that land use in the Citv of Chula Vista. The cost factors used were developed bv
ERA for the updated 2007 Citv of Chula Vista Fiscal Model.
70
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
CIC estimated that the fiscal revenues will range from $146.000 in the first vear of
develooment (2007\ to $731.300 at build-out (2010). Fiscal exoenditures range from $237.800
in 2007 to $386.300 at build-out. The net fiscal impact from the Eastlake Business Center II
Amendment is negative in 2007 ($91.800 loss) and 2008 ($57.400 loss) but becomes pOsitive
in 2009 ($306.500) and is oositive at build out ($345.000). The large oositive impact in the
final vears is due to the hotel develooment.

In July of 2001. the final master plan for the renovations to the Civic Center was
approved by City Council. Rebuilding the Civic Center will cost approximately $50
million, which will primarily be funded by development fees (89%). The Civic Center
Redevelopment is currently underway and expected to be completed in three phases by
2009.
Recently, the new City Hall Redevelopment. or Phase One of the Civic Center Complex,
was completed. Phase Two was the remodeling of the old Police Station for a temporary
home for the Planning, Building and Engineering Departments. Phase Three was the re-
building of the Public Services Building, the permanent home for the Planning, Building
and Engineering Departments. The final phase is the construction of a new fire station
headquarters on the current Ken Lee Building site and parking lot expansion for the
complex.

ADEQUACY ANALYSIS:
The need for the Civic Center cannot be easily related to population figures or acres of
commercial and industrial land which will be developed in the future. The facilities,
according to the master plan, are currently inadequate because of the lack of space. This
inadequacy will worsen as employee numbers and their workloads increase in response to
demands for services, which are generated by new development. Expansion of the Civic
Center Complex is currently underway. This expansion includes space planning. design.
and construction that is expected to keep pace with demand for additional work space.
The City Hall facilities have been renovated and now include a new state of the art
Council Chambers. Consistent with the Master Plan. the expansions and renovations
include the conversion of the old Police Station to additional office space. the re-building
of the Public Services Building and a new Fire Station Headquarters Building.

5.3.15. PUBLIC FACILITIES FINANCE
5.3.15.1 OVERVIEW:
All development within the City of Chula Vista must be in compliance with the City's
Growth Management Program. The appropriate public facility financing mechanisms are
required and approved by the City to fund the acquisition, construction and maintenance
of public facilities. New facilities will be required to support the planned development of
the Business Center II project.
The public facilities are generally provided or financed in one or more of the following
ways: Subdivision Exaction, Development Impact Fee and Debt Financing. It is
anticipated that all three methods will be utilized for the Business Center II project to
construct and finance public facilities.
5.3.15.2. SUBDIVISION EXACTION:
Developer constructed and financed as a condition of project approval.
Tentative Map Conditions:
Public improvements for the Business Center II project. as amended. will be were
constructed simultaneously with related subdivisions. Through the use of the
Subdivision Map Act, it is the responsibility of the Developer to provide fef the local
street and utility improvements. The use of subdivision conditions and exactions,
where appropriate, will ensure that the construction of facilities is timed with actual
development. When appropriate, however, the city may impose the use of other
public facilities financing mechanisms to finance the public improvements.
5.3.15.3. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE (DIF):
Funded through the collection of an impact fee. Constructed by the public agency or
Developer constructed with a reimbursement or credit against specific fees.
Development Impact Fee Programs
Development Impact Fees (DIF) are acceptable methods to contribute to the financing
of capital improvements within the city of Chula Vista. The EastLake Business
Center II project is subject to fees established to help defray costs of facilities which
will benefit the Bllsiness Center II project. These fees include but may not be limited
to:

I E. Otay Water District Fees: OWD may require annexation to an existing
improvement district or creation of some other finance mechanism that
may result in specific fees being modified.
5.3.15.4. DEBT FINANCE PROGRAMS:
The City ofChula Vista has a history of using assessment districts to finance a number of
street improvements, as well as sewer and drainage facilities. The Otay Municipal Water
District has used such improvement districts for water system improvements. Both
school districts have implemented Mello-Roos Community Facility Districts to finance
school facilities.
80
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
A. Assessment Districts
Special assessment districts may be proposed for acquIrIng, constructing and/or
maintaining certain public improvements under the Municipal Improvement Act of
1913 and the Improvement Bond Act of 1915. The City has suspended the use of the
Lighting and Landscape Act of 1972 for new open space district formation due to the
passage of Proposition 218. The administration of the special assessment district is
the responsibility of the public agency.
B. Community Facilities District (CFD)
On January 13, 1998, the City Council adopted the "City ofChula Vista statement of
goals and policies regarding the establishment of Community Facilities Districts"
(CFD). The approval of this document ratified the use ofCFD's as a public financing
mechanism for:
. The construction and/or acquisition of public infrastructure, and
. The financing of authorized public services, including services provided by open
space districts.
On April 28, 1998, the City Council enacted the "Chula Vista Community Facilities
District Ordinance." This ordinance adopted the Mello-Roos Act with modifications
to accomplish the following:
. Incorporate all maintenance activities authorized by the "Landscaping & Lighting
Act of 1972" (1972 Act) and
. Include maintenance activities not listed in the "Mello- Roos Act" or the "1972
Act."
Special assessment financing may be appropriate when the value or benefit of the
public facility can be assigned to specific properties. Assessments are levied in
specific amounts against each individual property on the basis of relative benefit.
Special assessments may be used for both publicly dedicated on-site and off-site
improvements.
B C. Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 authorizes formation of
community facilities districts which impose special taxes to provide financing for
certain public facilities or services. Facilities which can be provided under the Act
include the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of: Local park,
recreation, or parkway facilities; Elementary and secondary school sites and
structures; Libraries; and, any other governmental facilities that legislative bodies are
authorized to construct, own or operate. In addition, the City has enacted an
ordinance that adopted the Mello-Roos Act with modifications to accomplish the
maintenance of facilities.
81
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
5.3.15.5. OTHER METHODS USED TO FINANCE FACILITIES:
General Fund:
The City of Chula Vista's general fund serves to pay for many public services throughout
the City. Those facilities and services identified as being funded by general fund sources
represent those that will benefit not only the residents of the proposed project, but also
Chula Vista residents throughout the City. In most cases, other financing mechanisms
are available to initially construct or provide the facility or service, then general fund
moneys would only be expected to fund the maintenance costs once the facility is
accepted by the City.
State and Federal Funding
Although rarely available to fund an entire project, Federal and State financial and
technical assistance programs have been available to public agencies, in particular the
public school districts.
The City was reeemly awarded a $6 million State Grant to construct the
Montgomery/Otay Library.
Dedications
Dedication of sites by Developers for public capital facilities is a common financing tool
used by many cities. In the case of the EastLake Business Center II project, the project
will dedicate public streets.
Developer Reimbursement Agreements
Certain facilities that are off-site of the EastLake Business Center II project and/or
provide regional benefits may be constructed in conjunction with the development of the
project. In such instances, developer reimbursement agreements may be executed to
provide for a future payback to the Developer for the additional cost of these facilities.
Future developments are required to pay back their fair share of the costs for the shared
facility when development occurs.
Special Agreementsillevelopment Agreement
This category includes special development programs for financing special arrangements
between the City and the Developer such as credits against fees, waiver of fees, or
charges for the construction of specific facilities.
A development agreement can play an essential role in the implementation of the Public
Facilities Financing Plan. The Public Facilities Financing Plan clearly details all public
facility responsibilities and assures that the construction of all necessary public
82
EastLake Business Center II
Supplemental PFFP Amendment
improvements will be appropriately phased with actual development, while the
development agreement identifies the obligations and requirements of both parties.
5.3.15.6. Cumulative Debt
The City of Chula Vista has an established policy limiting the maximum debt to be
placed on a residential dwelling unit to an additional one percent above the property tax.
This policy was restated in the adopted Growth Management Program.
Like many other cities, Chula Vista has long understood that it is not the only agency
which can utilize public finance mechanisms and, therefore, can not always guarantee
that the total debt will remain at or below a maximum of 2 percent. The City needs to
coordinate its debt finance programs with the other special districts which provide service
to the residents of Chula Vista to ensure that the cumulative debt does not become
excessive. Coordination is also necessary to guarantee all public facilities needed to
support a development can be financed and constructed as needed.
This project does not include any Assessment Districts. All required supporting
infrastructure is being paid by the Developer.
5.3.15.7. LIFECYCLE COST
Section 19.09.060 Analysis subsection F(2) of the Growth Management Ordinance
requires the following:
"...The inventory shall include Life Cycle Cost ("LCC") projections for each
element in 19.09.060(E) ... as they pertain to City fiscal responsibility. The LCC
projections shall be for estimated life cycle for each element analyzed. The model
used shall be able to identify and estimate initial and recurring life cycle costs...
Background
Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is a method of calculating the total cost of asset ownership
over the life span of the asset. Initial costs and all Subsequent expected costs of
significance are included in the LCC analysis as well as disposal value and any other
quantifiable benefits to be derived as a result of owning the asset. Operating and
maintenance costs over the life of an asset often times far exceed initial costs and must be
factored into the decision process.
LCC analysis should not be used in each and every purchase of an asset. The process
itself carries a cost and therefore can add to the cost of the asset. LCC analysis can be
justified only in those cases in which the cost of the analysis can be more than offset by
the savings derived through the purchase of the asset.
83
EastLake Business Center U
SupplementaJ PFFP Amendment
Four major factors which may influence the economic feasibility of applying LCC
analysis are:
I. Energy Intensiveness - LCC should be considered when the anticipated energy costs
of the purchase are expected to be large throughout its life.
2. Life Expectancy - For assets with long lives (Le., greater than five years), costs other
than purchase price take on added importance. For assets with short lives, the initial
costs become a more important factor.
3. Efficiency - The efficiency of operation and maintenance can have significant impact
on overall costs. LCC is beneficial when savings can be achieved through reduction
of maintenance costs.
4. Investment Cost - As a general rule, the larger the investment the more important
LCC analysis becomes.
Applications for LCC Analysis
The City of Chula Vista currently utilizes LCC analysis in determining the most cost
effective purchase of capital equipment as well as in the determination of replacement
costs for a variety of rolling stock. The use of LCC techniques takes place in the
preparation of the City's Five Year Capital Improvement Budget (CIP) as well as in the
Capital Outlay sections of the armual Operating Budget.
There are no project facilities that are not covered by LCC analysis. In these existing
processes, the City should require the use of LCC analysis prior to or concurrent with the
design of public facilities required by new development. Such a requirement will assist
in the determination of the most cost effective selection of public facilities.

AMENDMENT TO FISCAL IMPACT REPORT
The purpose to this amendment is to determine the fiscal impact of the new land
use designations for the remaining 45 acres of the Eastlake Industrial Center. The land
use is changing from industrial to 16.7 acres of commercial retail, 5 acres of office, and
4.6 acres of hotel/motel. There will be 18.7 acres of industrial land remaining from the
original 45 acres. A brief description of the methodology of the study and a summary of
the results are presented in this report. Detailed tables of the fiscal impact analysis are
immediately following this summary report.
Methodology
The methodology is essentially the same as the previous fiscal impact analysis.
Two basic methodologies were utilized in estimating public agency revenues and
expenditures; the case study and the average cost/revenue method. The case study
method is based on specific characteristics of the project from which revenues can be
estimated. The case study method was used to estimate secured property tax the transient
occupancy tax (TOT) for the hotel/motel site and some of the estimated sales taxes from
the hotel/mote] site. The average cost/revenue method develops per unit/acre costs and
revenues based on the associated costs/revenues allocated to that land use in the City of
Chu]a Vista. This method was used for all costs and the remainder of the revenue
categories. The cost factors used were developed by ERA for the updated 2007 City of
Chula Vista Fiscal Model.
Summary of Results
The following table presents the results of the fiscal impact associated with the
Eastlake commercial development. Fiscal revenues range from $146,000 in the first year
of development (2007) to $731,300 at build-out (2010). Fiscal expenditures range from
$237,800 in 2007 to $386,300 at build-out. The net fiscal impact from developing the
Eastlake II Annexation is negative in 2007 ($91,800 loss) and 2008 ($57,400 loss) but
becomes positive in 2009 ($306,500) and is positive at build out ($345,000). The large
positive impact in the final years is due to the hotel/motel development.

V. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINDINGS
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
CONFORM WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN, AS
AMENDED.
The proposed amendments to the EastLake II General Development Plan reflect the land
uses that are consistent with the City's General Plan as proposed to be amended.
VI. APPROVAL OF GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT
In light of the fmdings above, the City Council approves the amendment to EastLake II
General Development Plan in the form presented to the City Council and on file in the office
of the City Clerk.
VII. SPA FINDINGS/ APPROVAL
A. THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA ("SPA") PLAN, AS AMENDED, IS IN
CONFORMITY WITH THE EASTLAKE II GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
AND THE CHULA VISTA GENERAL PLAN.
The proposed amendments to the EastLake Business Center II SPA Plan reflect the
land uses that are consistent with the EastLake II General Development Plan and the
City ofChula Vista General Plan as proposed to be amended.
B. THE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA ("SPA") PLAN, AS AMENDED, WILL
PROMOTE THE ORDERLY SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE
INVOLVED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREAS.
The requested amendments to the EastLake Business Center II SPA plan includes a
Supplemental Public Facilities Financing Plan that outlines the required
infrastructure to serve the Project, the timing of installation and the financing
mechanisms to promote the orderly sequentialized development of the Project.
C. THE EASTLAKE SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA ("SPA") PLANS, AS
AMENDED, WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE,
RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT, CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY.
J:\Allomey\RESQIPLANNINGIPCM.07..Q4 CC RESO 29 November 2007 add conditons~1~
Resolution No. 2007-
Page 5
The proposed land use text and statistical amendments to the SPA, and development
standards will not adversely affect the circulation system and overall land use pattern
as previously envisioned in the EastLake II General Development Plan. A Mitigated
Negative Declaration (IS-07-015) and accompanying Mitigation Monitoring
Program was prepared for the Project. Mitigation measures have been included
related to aesthetics/visual quality, air quality, paleontological, hydrology and water
quality, noise, and traffic. Thus, the requested amendments to the SPA will not
adversely affect the adjacent land uses, residential enjoyment, circulation or
environmental quality of the surrounding uses.
D. IN THE CASE OF PROPOSED INDUSTRIAL AND RESEARCH USES, THAT
SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL BE APPROPRIATE IN AREA, LOCATION,
AND OVERALL DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE SUCH
AS TO CREATE A RESEARCH OR INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF
SUSTAINED DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY; AND, THAT SUCH
DEVELOPMENT WILL MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
ESTABLISHED BY THIS TITLE.
The orientation and configuration of the 16.7 acres is substantially more suitable for
commercial retail rather than light industrial land use and more compatible with the
EastLake Design District which currently occupies the site.
Thus, changing the previously adopted land use designation from Light Industrial to
Commercial Retail is appropriate, and would be compatible with surrounding land
uses. This added acreage will contribute substantially to achieve the city's economic
development goals and objectives.
E. THE STREETS AND THOROUGHFARES ARE SUITABLE AND ADEQUATE
TO CARRY THE ANTICIPATED TRAFFIC THEREON.
The potential impacts to traffic and circulation have been thoroughly analyzed based
upon the proposed project resulting in specific requirements that must be complied
with at the time of development within the project area. This includes payment of in-
lieu fees to pay fair share of cumulative impacts to the off-site intersection located at
the intersection of the Vons Driveway and Otay Lakes Road and the construction of
a traffic signal at the intersection of Fen ton Street and Showroom Place.
F. ANY PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE JUSTIFIED
ECONOMICALLY AT THE LOCATION(S) PROPOSED AND WILL PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMMERCIAL FACILITIES OF THE TYPES NEEDED AT SUCH
PROPOSED LOCATION(S).
J:\AlIomey\RESO\PLANNING\PCM.07.()4 CC RESO 29 November 2007 add COndiIOl1ll~17crg
Resolution No. 2007-
Page 6
The proposed amendments increase the acreage designated Commercial Retail to
allow for additional complementary retail establishments to be located within the
existing Eastlake Design District in an effort to increase the economic viability of the
District and to provide additional services, including restaurants and other similar
uses, which complement the existing home improvement district.
G. THE AREA SURROUNDING SAID DEVELOPMENT CAN BE PLANNED AND
ZONED IN COORDINATION AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPATIBILITY WITH
SAID DEVELOPMENT .
The proposed amendments are consistent with the previously approved plans and
regulations applicable to surrounding sites and therefore the proposed amendments
can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with said
development.
VII!. APPROVAL OF SPA AMENDMENTS
In light of the findings above, the City Council approves the EastLake Business Center I!
SPA amendments as presented in Exhibit "c" subject to the conditions set forth below:
1. Implement all environmental impact mitigation measures identified in Mitigated

IX. PFFP FINDINGS/APPROVAL
A. THE AMENDMENT TO THE EXISITNG PFFP COMPLIES WITH SECTIONS
19.09.050 THROUGH 19.09.100, REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC
FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN.
The amendment to the EastLake Business Center II Supplemental PFFP has been
prepared according to the contents and details outlined in the Municipal Code. It
has been submitted to and reviewed by the Director of Planning and Building.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the proposed amendments and
recommends adoption by the City Council. Public facilities needed to serve the
project were identified and will be guaranteed by conditions of approval,
implementation of required mitigation measures identified in Mitigated Negative
Declaration IS-07-015, payment of Development Impact ("DIF") fees at the
building permit stage, and/or utilizing Community Facilities to finance or
maintain the public facility.
B. THE PROPOSED PFFP AMENDMENT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
OVERALL GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN,
GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, THE AMENDED EASTLAKE II
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND THE AMENDED EASTLAKE
BUSINESS CENTER II SPA PLAN.
The EastLake II General Development Plan and EastLake Business Center II SPA
outline the necessary public facilities required to meet its land use and circulation
objectives of the General Plan. The amendment to the existing PFFP outlines
detailed plans for the provision of these public facilities as they relate to the
proposed Proj ect.
The amended PFFP identifies required DIF fees that must be paid to help defray
costs of facilities that will benefit the project. The estimated fees required by this
project are $2,627,009 for Transportation Facilities and $2,850,622 for other
applicable Facilities.
While net fiscal impact of the Project on public facilities is negative in 2007
($91,800 Loss) and 2008 ($57,400 Loss), the fiscal impact becomes positive in
2009 ($306,500) and positive at build out ($345,000).

Resolution No. 2007-
Page 9
C. THE AMENDMENT TO THE EXSITING PFFP ENSURES THAT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
CITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE STANDARDS.
As required by the City's Growth Management Ordinance, the PFFP amendment
analyzes the impact of the project on public facilities and services and identifies
the required public facilities and services needed to serve the project to maintain
consistency with the City's Quality of Life Threshold Standards. The PFFP
describes in detail the cost, financing mechanisms and timing for constructing
public facilities required to ensure that development occurs only when the
necessary public facilities exist or are provided concurrent with the demands of
the new development. Certain facility improvements have been identified as
project impacts based upon Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS-07-0I5) and
accompanying Mitigation Monitoring Program. These include the requirements
for the construction of a signal at the intersection of Fenton and Showroom Place
prior to development of Area B. Other required mitigation measures are related to
aesthetics/visual quality, air quality, paleontological, hydrology and water quality,
noise, and traffic. Implementation of these mitigation measures along with
payment of required DIF fees will ensure the Project will maintain consistency
with the City's Quality of Life Standards.
In light of the [mdings above, the City Council approves the EastLake Business
Center II Supplemental Public Facilities Financing Amendment as presented in
Exhibit "D."
X. APROV AL OF AMENDMENTS TO ASSOCIATED REGULA TORY DOCUMENTS
