PUBLIC HEARING:
(Continued)
GPA 93-04, Application by EastLake Development
Company for approval of a General Plan Amendment for
74 acres of EastLake Greens, located in two separate
parcels, one south of Eastlake High School, the second in
the southwestern portion of EastI,ake Greens.
BACKGROUND:
Application
The applicant. EastLake Development Company, has submitted a General Plan Amendment
(GPA) for consideration of 74 acres (corrected from 51 acres originally depicted) located within
EastLake Greens. The proposed GPA involved primarily two separate parcels, one south of
Eastlake High School, on the west side of Eastlake Parkway, east of the future alignment of the
SR-125 freeway/tollway (Subarea 1) and, the second in the southwestern portion of EastLake
Greens, also south and west of the (240 ft. wide) San Diego Aqueduct/SDG&E utility easement
(See Attachment A of the Recommending Resolution), The applicant proposes to redesignate the
general plan land uses for Sub Area #1 to High Residential (18-27 du/ac) and Public/Quasi-
Public, and the redesignate Sub Area #2 to Medium High Residential (11-18 du/ac) (See
Attachment C of the Recommending Resolution),
Commission Tentative Recommendation
On May 12, 1993, the Planning Commission re-opened the public hearing for GPA-93-04,
continued from April 28, 1993, and after much discussion closed the public comment portion
of the hearing and made a tentative recommendation on the proposed GPA, pending a final
recommendation by the Commission on the Otay Ranch Project, The Commission's tentative
action consisted of a recommendation for primarily Medium-High Residential (11-18 du/ ac) for
Sub Area #2 and Medium Residential (6-11 du/ac) and Public/Quasi-Public for Sub Area #1.
The results of the Commission's action would be to increase the density range for the parcels
in question from 156 to 312, to 373 to 642. The maximum potential increase in unit total would
be 330 units over the existing General Plan land use designations, and at mid-range would be
262, (See Attachment Band C of the Recommending Resolution)
Environmental Analvsis
An Initial Study (Case No. 93-16) was prepared for the proposed project and a recommendation
was made by the City's Environmental Review Coordinator that the project be found to have no
significant impacts which were not discussed in EIR 86-04 for the EastLake Greens project. and
that an Addendum to EIR-86-04 for the proposed project be adopted (the Addendum was
prepared based on a 74 acre project, modified from the original request involving 51 acres).

ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL IMP ACT REPORT EIR-86-04
EASTLAKE GREENS SPA EASTLAKE TRAILS PREZONE & ANNEXATION
I. Introduction
PROJECT NAME:
Eastlake General Plan Amendment
PROJECT LOCATION:
East of proposed SR-125 alignment; south of Telegraph
Canyon Road, north of Orange Avenue
ASSESSOR'S PARCEL #: Book 595 (Assorted parcels)
PROJECT APPLICANT:
Eastlake Development Company
CASE NO: IS-93-16
DATE: January 15, 1993
II. Background
The environmental review procedures of the City of Chula Vista allow the
Environmental Review Coordinator (ERC) to prepare an addendum to a Negative
Declaration or Environmental Impact Report, if one of the following conditions is
present:
I, The minor changes in the project design which have occurred since completion
of the Final EIR or Negative Declaration have not created any new significant
environmental impacts not previously addressed in the Final EIR or Negative
Declaration;
2. Additional or refined information available since completion of the Final EIR
or Negative Declaration regarding the potential environmental impact of the
project, or regarding the measures or alternatives available to mitigate potential
environmental effects of the project. does not show that the project will have
one or more significant impacts which were not previously addressed in the
Final EIR or Negative Declaration.
This addendum has been prepared in order to provide additional information and analysis
concerning land use, drainage, traffic and school impacts. As a result of this analysis, the basic
conclusions of the Environmental Impact Report have not changed, Land use, drainage, traffic,
and school impacts are found to be less than significant for the proposed project.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City. has prepared
the following addendum to the Environmental Impact Report for the Eastlake Greens SPA
Eastlake Trails Prezone & Annexation,
S -1/
III. Project Setting
The project involves two parcels totaling approximately 74 acres, The first parcel is
located on the northwest corner of Palomar Street and Eastlake Parkway, bounded to
the east by the planned SR-125 alignment. The second parcel is north of Orange
Avenue along the western and southern boundaries of the EastLake Greens SPA, where
it adjoins the Otay Ranch property (see parcels R-26, PQ-I, and R-9 on Exhibit A),
The land is currently vacant and has been used in the past for dry fanning and cattle
grazing. The parcels have been graded and are covered with native grasses.
IV. Project Description
The proposed project is an amendment to the Chula Vista General Plan. As originally
proposed and analyzed, Eastlake Greens called for a total unit count of 3,609 dwelling
units, In approving the project in 1989, the City Council reduced the density and unit
count of five parcels in Eastlake Greens, R-24. R-25, R.26, R-27, and R-28, from High
Density (18-24 du/ac) to a density of 4,5 du/ac (see Exhibit A). Overall dwelling units
were reduced from 3,609 to 2,774, a reduction of 835 dwelling units. The current GP A
proposes increasing the density of parcel R-26 from Low-Medium to High Residential
(18-27 du/ac), changing parcel PQ-I from Public/Quasi-Public to Public/Quasi-Public
and High Residential, and increasing the density of parcel R-9 from Low Medium
Residential to Medium High (11-18 du/ac) as shown on Exhibit B. The proposed GP A
would increase the density range of these parcels from 156-312 residential units to 583-
891 residential units, This is a potential increase from 427 to 579 residential units, A
summary of these changes is provided below.

Exhibit B of this document provides a detailed breakdown of the changes in General
Plan designations and acreage associated with the proposed project. Subsequent actions
required to implement the project will include amendments to the adopted EastLake
Greens II General Development Plan (GDP) and EastLake SPA Plan. These actions
will be subject to future environmental review at the time the particular projects are
proposed,
V. Compatibility with Zoning and Plans
The proposed project involves a General Plan Amendment (GPA) on two separate sites
which are currently designated for approximately 52 acres of residential development,
2
$,/2..
13 acres of public and quasi-public development, and 9 acres for transportation
infrastructure, The project proposes altering the General Plan designations to 41 acres
of residential, 14 acres of public and quasi-public, 17 acres of open space, and 2 acres
of major circulation systems. The density range of the parcels would increase from
156-312 units to 583-891 units, The zoning on the site is "Planned Community" (PC),
and the project is compatible with this zoning.
VI. Compliance with the Threshold Standards
I. FirelEMS
The Threshold Standards require that fire and medical units must be able to
respond to calls within 7 minutes or less in 85% of the cases and within 5
minutes or less in 75% of the cases. The City of Chula Vista has indicated that
this threshold standard will be met, since the nearest fire station is 4 miles away
and would be associated with a 5 minute response time, The proposed project
would comply with this Threshold Standard,
In addition, Fire Station 6 will open in January 1993, approximately 1/2 mile
and 2 minutes away from the project site. Specific development projects could
be required to meet additional, site-specific Fire Department requirements.
2, Police
The Threshold Standards require that police units must respond to 84% of
Priority I calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average response time
to all Priority I calls of 4.5 minutes or less. Police units must respond to
62,10% of Priority 2 calls within 7 minutes or less and maintain an average
response time to all Priority 2 calls of 7 minutes or less. The proposed project
will comply with this Threshold Standard.
The Police Department has indicated that the proposed project will not impact
police services.
3. Traffic
The Threshold Standards require that all intersections must operate at a Level
of Service (LOS) "C" or better, with the exception that Level of Service (LOS)
"D" may occur during the peak two hours of the day at signalized intersections,
Intersections west ofI-805 are not to operate at a LOS below their 1987 LOS.
No intersection may reach LOS "E" or "F" during the average weekday peak
hour, Intersections of arterials with freeway ramps are exempted from this
policy, The proposed project will comply with this Threshold.
The proposed General Plan Amendment will not have an impact on traffic
circulation systems. According to the City Traffic Engineer, the actual change
s- 13
in land use associated with the implementation of the GPA may impact adjacent
local street segments and nearby intersections, Therefore, further traffic analysis
may be required at the time specific development is proposed, See Section VI
for a more detailed analysis of traffic mitigation,
4. Parks/Recreation
The Threshold Standards for Parks and Recreation is 3 acres/1 ,000 population.
The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standards. Payment of
park fees may be required at the time specific projects are proposed.
5. Drainage
The Threshold Standards require that storm water flows and volumes not exceed
City Engineer Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with the Drainage Master Plan(s) and City Engineering
Standards. The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standards,
Existing one-site drainage consists of surface flow to catchments and city
stormwater conveyance systems, The proposed GP A will not impact drainage
systems, however, improvements to existing facilities will be required when
specific development occurs.
According to the Engineering Department, off-site drainage flows into Poggi
Canyon, Existing facilities will not be adequate when the proposed project is
implemented, The Engineering Department has indicated that regional drainage
improvements may be necessary in the Poggi Canyon area when specific
development takes place. Future development will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis. The proposed project, however, will meet this Threshold Standard.
See Section VI, for a more detailed discussion of drainage impacts.
6. Sewer
The Threshold Standards require that sewage flows and volumes shall not
exceed City Engineering Standards. Individual projects will provide necessary
improvements consistent with Sewer Master Planes) and City Engineering
Standards, The proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard.
The proposed project would not increase overall solid or liquid waste generation
in the Eastlake Greens Sectional Planning Area (SPA). Existing lines in the area
include an 8-inch polyvinylchoride (PVC) sewer leading to a 12-inch PVC sewer
in Otay Lakes Road, Flows from the Poggi Canyon Basin are pumped to the
Telegraph Canyon Basin. Some segments of the Telegraph Canyon Trunk
Sewer are over capacity. The City Engineering Department has indicated that
4
-S./4{
payment of fees in accordance with the Telegraph ~anyon Basin Plan will
mitigate these impacts.
7. Water
The Threshold Standards require that adequate storage, treatment, and
transmission facilities are constructed concurrently with planned growth and that
water quality standards are not jeopardized during growth and construction. The
proposed project will comply with this Threshold Standard,
Because Southern California is in its 6th consecutive critically dry year, the
County Water Authority is recommending a voluntary 10% reduction in water
consumption for new development through the use of low flow fixtures and
drought-tolerant landscaping, Applicants may also be required to participate in
whatever water conservation or fee off-set program the City of Chula Vista has
in effect at the time of building permit issuance.
VII. Identification of Environmental Effects
School Impacts
EIR-86-04 found that new students will be generated for both the elementary and
secondary school systems as a result of the project. One elementary and one high
school will be constructed within the project area. School construction is phased
concurrently with residential development.
Section 65995 of the California Government Code authorizes school districts to collect
fees from developers of both residential and non-residential projects to offset school
facility impacts, School facility fees are $1.58 per square foot for residential
development and $0,26 per square foot for commercial and industrial development.
Both school districts collect their proportional allocation of these fees. For each square
foot of commercial and industrial development, the Chula Vista Elementary School
District receives $0.12 and the High School receives $0,14 to assist in financing school
facilities.
EIR-86-04 found that impacts to school facilities could be mitigated to a level of less
than significant to the satisfaction of the school districts in the context of existing
binding agreements regarding school sites and financing. The Planning Department has
worked with representatives of both Otay Ranch (the Baldwin Company) and the
EastLake Development Company to establish strategies to mitigate school impacts. The
Sweetwater Union High School District has indicated that they have no objection to the
proposed General Plan Amendment. The Chula Vista Elementary School District has
entered into an agreement with the Eastlake Development Company and the Baldwin
Company to ensure school impact are mitigated adequately. Therefore, impacts to
5
-S.I>
schools from the proposed project will be less than significant.
Land Use
The proposed GP A would have an impact on land use, as it involves altering the use
and density on the sites, However, the total number of units currently proposed is at
least 265 units less than that previously assessed in the Eastlake Greens EIR-86-04.
EIR-86-04 found that implementation of the Eastlake Greens project would not have
adverse land use policy impacts, therefore no specific mitigation measures or policies
are required for the proposed project. Thus, land use impacts from the proposed GP A
are found to be less than significant.
Drainage
EIR-86-04 found that no significant, unmitigable impacts to hydrology or drainage
would result from implementation of the Eastlake Greens project with impplementation
of the recommendations in the preliminary geotechnical report, These recommendations
include: minimizing surface runoff into downslope natural areas and graded areas;
planting slopes with appropriate drought-resistant vegetation as recommended by a
landscape architect; and regularly maintaining drainage devices such as graded berms.
swales and area drains. In addition, drainage system plans must be approved by the
City of Chula Vista's Department of Public Works,
At the time specific development occurs, additional environmental review will be
required to ensure impacts to drainage facilities are less than significant. All
recommendations contained in EIR-86-04 must be followed to the satisfaction of the
City Engineering Division,
Traffic
In addition to complying with all requirements of the Engineering Division at the time
specific development is proposed, the proposed project must comply with the traffic
mitigation measures set forth in EIR-86-04, as follows:
I. Improve Telegraph Canyon Road between State Route 125 and Eastlake
Greens/Trails boundary to six lane prime arterial standards.
2, Construct Hunte Parkway and Eastlake Parkway as major roads between
Telegraph Canyon Road and Orange Avenue.
3, Construct a southbound SR 125 to eastbound Telegraph Canyon Road loop ramp
at the SR 125/Telegraph Canyon Road intersection, or extend SR 125 south to
East Palomar Street (which would connect to the Eastlake SPA II street system).

$-11,.
.
Compliance with these mitigation measures will ensure that impacts to traffic are
less than significant.
