PUBLIC HEARING: PCZ-93-A; Consideration to Drezone 3.59 acres north of Otav Lakes Road. east of Lehiah Avenue to R-l Sinale Familv Residential - City initiated A. BACKGROUND The proposal involves the prezoning of the 3. 59-acre Otay Municipal Water District water tank site located north of Otay Lakes Road and east of Lehigh Avenue to R-l Single Family Residential. The site is currently zoned County S87 (Limited Control). The Environmental Review Coordinator has determined that this action is exempt from environmental review as a Class 19(a) exemption. B. RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings contained in Section D, adopt a motion recommending that the City Council prezone 3.59 acres to R-l as shown on Exhibit A. C. DISCUSSION The proposal area consists of a rectangular parcel of land north of Otay Lakes Road and east of Lehigh Avenue. It lies at the northwest corner of the proposed Telegraph Canyon Estates project area, although outside of the boundaries of that project. The subject parcel is owned by the Otay Municipal Water District and contains a water tank. The proposed pre zoning and subsequent annexation of this property is a result of a requirement by LAFCO that this parcel be annexed in conjunction with the annexation of the adjacent property currently being processed under the project name of Telegraph Canyon Estates. The annexation of this 3.59 acre parcel in conjunction with that project will preclude the creation of a County island. The existing land uses to the west of the subject site are residential, consisting primarily of detached single-family homes (Southwestern College Estates). The property directly north, east and south of this parcel is included in the proposed Telegraph Canyon Estates project, which depicts community purpose facilities directly north of this parcel, and detached single family residential to the east and south. ~-I City Planning Commission Agenda Item for Meeting of August 12, 1992 Page 2 The proposed pre zoning would place the subject property in the R-l residential zone, consistent with existing westerly adjacent zoning. Existing zoning on this site is sa7 (Limited Control) which is intended to provide limited controls on property pending specific studies for rezoning (please see attached for a copy of the S87 zone regulations). The R-l zone is also consistent with the Chula Vista General Plan, which designates the site for Residential Low-Medium (3-6 dwelling units per acre). The subject site is owned by the otay Municipal Water District and currently contains a water tank. While the rezoning of this property would technically create a legal nonconforming use (public and quasi-public uses require a conditional use permit approved by the City Council, per Section 19.54.020(M) of the City Municipal Code), the existing water tank would not be affected except in the case of a proposal for substantial modification to the site, at which time an application for a conditional use permit could be required. As the City does not have a specific zone for pUblic uses, these land uses have been placed in the category of Unclassified Uses, which may be permitted in any zone with the approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council. The R-l zone is the most appropriate designation for the subject site, considering the surrounding zoning and land uses. D. FINDINGS The proposed prezoning is consistent with the City of Chula Vista General Plan, and public necessity, convenience, the general welfare, and good zoning practice support the prezoning to R-l Single Family Residential. ~-2. r 2870 S87 LIMITED CONTROL USE REGULATIONS 2870 I NTE NT.
