PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item:L
Meeting Date: 06/08/05
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: PCM-03-02; Request to amend the Otay
Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan to revise the Village
One, Village One West and Village Five Site Utilization Plan Map by
re-designating the land use designation of seven (7) existing
privately-owned and maintained (HOA) recreation facilities from
Open Space/Park (OS/P) to Community Purpose Facility (CPF).
Applicant - Otay Project, LP.
PCZ-03-04; Request to amend the Otay
Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan to modify the SPA
One Planned Community District Regulations, Zoning District Map
by rezoning seven (7) existing privately-owned and maintained
(HOA) recreation facilities from Open Space/Park (OS/P) to
Community Purpose Facility (CPF). Applicant - Otay Project, LP.
PCC-03-83; Request to consider granting a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the operation of seven (7) existing
privately-owned and maintained (HOA) recreation facilities/site
located in Village One, Village One West and Village Five to the
Otay Ranch One Community Association, Otay Ranch Three
Community Association and Otay Ranch Five Community
Association respectively. Applicant - Otay Project, LP.
Otay Project, LP (Otay Ranch Company) requests an amendment to the Otay Ranch Sectional
Planning Area (SPA) One Plan, Site Utilization Plan Map and Zoning District Map for the purposes
of rezoning seven (7) existing recreation sites (private parks) currently zoned Open Space/Park
(OS/P) to Community Purpose Facility (CPF). These parcels, which are located in Villages One,
One West and Five of Otay Ranch, are fully constructed recreation sites owned and maintained by
private Homeowner's Associations (Otay Ranch One Community Association, Otay Ranch Three
Community Association and Otay Ranch Five Community Association). In addition, the three
homeowner's associations request issuance ofConditional Use Permits for these facilities.
The purpose of this amendment is "clean-up" in nature to the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan. This
amendment would add a CPF Master Plan supplement to the document text and would bring the
SP A One into consistency with the 2003 amendments to the CPF Ordinance in the P-C Zone,
Chapter 19.48, Section 19.48.025 ofthe Chula Vista Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The City's Environmental Review Coordinator conducted an Initial Study (IS-03-031) on the project
Page 2, Item_
Meeting Date 06/08/05
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and determined that the proposed
project was adequately covered in previously adopted Otay Ranch Amended Sectional Planning Area
One Final Environmental Impact Report Plan, (FEIR 97 -03). Thus, no further environmental review
or documentation is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt:
· Resolution No. PCM-03-32 recommending the City Council adopt a Resolution amending
the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan Site Utilization Map, and adopt an Ordinance to modify the
SP A One Planned Community District Regulations, Zoning District Map, to rezone seven
(7) existing privately-owned and maintained (HOA) recreation facilities from Open
Space/Park (OS/P) to Community Purpose Facility (CPF).
· Resolution No. PCC-03-83 recommending the City Council adopt a Resolution granting a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the operation of seven (7) existing privately owned and
maintained recreation facilities/sites located in Village One, Village One West and Village
Five.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable
DISCUSSION:
1. Background
In 1996, the City Council approved the SPA Plan for Villages One, One West and Five. The plan
contained seven (7) pedestrian parks as well as neighborhood parks all of which were zoned Open
Space-Park (OS/P) in the Planned Community District Regulations of the SPA Plan. The two (2)
neighborhood parks and an off-site contribution to the Village Two Community Park as provided for
in the Otay Ranch GDP satisfied the project's park obligation. The pedestrian parks did not receive
credit but were planned and zoned OS/P.
In 2003, the CPF Ordinance ofthe Planned Community Zone, Section 19.48.025 ofthe Chula Vista
Municipal Code was amended to allow for "Recreational Facilities" as a permitted use. This use
allows for "Recreational facilities, such as ball fields, for non-profit organizations (including
homeowner's associations serving the local community subject to the requirements outlined in
19.48.040(B)(6)(d) and subject to the findings outlined in subsection (H) of 19.48.025. The
applicant has complied with the application requirements identified in 19.48. 040(B)( 6)( d). Findings
required in Section 19.48.025(H) have been evaluated in Attachment #5, Planning Commission
Resolution No. PCC-03-83, attached to this report.

Meeting Date 06/08/05
2. Site Characteristics
The seven (7) existing privately owned and maintained recreation facilities located throughout
Villages One, Five and One West in the SPA One area ofOtay Ranch. Originally, the facilities were
planned for Open Space/Park sites intended to serve as neighborhood "amenities" for the village
residents. As the single-family neighborhoods were developed, the master developer of the sites,
Otay Project, LP designed and developed these small one to two-acre sites to provide for
neighborhood recreation activities such as tot-lots, swimming pools, soccer fields, basketball courts,
picnic areas, and a focal point for gathering places. Each of the facilities were built by the master
developer and are now owned and operated by Master Homeowner's Association(s).
In compliance with the policies described in the Otay Ranch General Development Plan and the
subsequent Otay Ranch SPA One Plan, the Planned Community (PC) Zone, Chapter 19.48 of the
Chula Vista Municipal Code requires each community, or in this case a village, to provide land for
Community Purpose Facilities (CPF). The Community Purpose Facility Ordinance, Section
19.48.025 of the CVMC requires 1.39 acres for CPF land for every 1,000 residents of the village.
SP A One requires an obligation of 28.2 acres of land. A total of 23.6 acres of land have been
provided, subject to the consideration ofthis amendment, leaving a shortfall of 4.6 acres. Pursuant
to the policies of the Otay Ranch General Development Plan, CPF acreage obligations may be
transferred between villages and SPA areas.
2. General Plan. Zoning and Land Use
General Plan
The City's General Plan and Otay Ranch GDP designated the land within the Otay Valley Parcel for
urban villages that are transit-oriented and pedestrian friendly. Otay Ranch villages are intended to
contain higher residential densities and a variety of mixed-uses in the "Village Cores," surrounded by
single-family homes in the secondary residential areas outside of the village cores.
Zoning
The subject properties are currently zoned within the SPA One Planned Community District
Regulations as Open SpacelPark (OSIP). The proposal includes rezoning the seven recreational sites
to Community Purpose Facility (CPF) pursuant to the adopted amendments to the CPF Ordinance in
the Planned Community Zone, Chapter 19.48, Section, 19.48.025.
Chapter 19.48. P-C -- Planned Community Zone, requires that a minimum of 1.39 acres of
Community Purpose Facilities (CPF) land per 1,000 persons be provided in communities within the
P-C Zone. Pursuant to Municipal Code section 19.04.055, CPF means "a land use designation in a
planned community intended for non-profit and certain for-profit land uses..."
Page 4, Item_
Meeting Date 06/08/05
Chapter 19.48.025 provides the following list of uses permitted within the CPF zone, subject to
approval of a Conditional Use Permit:
1. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other similar organizations;
2. Social and human services activities, such as Alcoholics Anonymous;
3. Services for homeless;
4. Services for military personnel during the holidays;
5. Senior care and recreation;
6. Worship, spiritual growth and development, and teaching of traditional family values;
7. Non-profit or for-profit day care facilities that are ancillary to any of the above or as a
primary use. For-profit facilities as primary uses are subject to further requirements and
additional criteria as outlined in Section (F) below;
8. Private schools that are ancillary to any of the above;
9. Interim uses, subject to the findings outlined in 19.48.025(E);
10. Recreational facilities, such as ball fields, for non-profit organizations (including
homeowners associations) serving the local community, subject to the requirements outlined
in 19.48.040(B)(6)(d) and subject to the findings outlined in 19.48.025(H).
Municipal Code section 19.48. 040 requires the preparation of a CPF Master Plan when recreational
facilities are proposed to be located in a CFP land use district. The Master Plan "shall show the
specific boundaries of said plan which may be the SPA, GDP or planned community boundaries (or
more than one GDP as deemed appropriate by the director of planning and building); the distribution
of existing and proposed CPF designated parcels within the master plan area; and the tabulation of
individual site acreages which shall be prepared and incorporated into the planned community's
sectional planning area (SPA) plan... The incorporation of the CPF master plan into the SPA or GDP
shall be done through a SPA or GDP amendment/adoption pursuant to Sections 19.48.080 and
19.48.13 0." 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. The sites identified in the
CPF Master Plan are designated in the SPA One Planning Community District Regulations as "CPF"
to meet the City's requirements.
Land Use
Villages One, Five and One West have been developed over the last several years and are almost
built-out. The seven privately owned and maintained recreational facilities are generally located
within the secondary single-family residential areas ofthe Otay Ranch Urban Villages.
3. Proposed Plan
The application involves a request to amend the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan by modifying the land
use designations on the Site Utilization Map from Open SpacelPark (OSIP) to Community Purpose
Facility (CPF) and rezoning said parcels on the Zoning District Map from OSIP to CPF. This
Page 5, Item_
Meeting Date 06/08/05
proposal would provide the master developer with additional CPF "credits" in order to fulfill it's
CPF obligations pursuant to the requirements described in the Planned Community Zone, CPF
Ordinance of the CVMC, Chapter 19.48.025. The master developer also seeks issuance of
Conditional Use Permit(s) for said facilities (see Attachment No. I).
The original SPA One Plan identified four (4) CPF sites, two in Village One and two in Village Five.
The tabulation of CPF land in SPA One had identified a shortfall in obligation, however, the Otay
Ranch GDP allows for transfer of obligation from one village to another. The new CPF Master Plan
boundary encompasses Otay Ranch SPA One (Villages One, Five and One West). The proposal
includes seven (7) additional sites, which are geographically distributed throughout SPA One to
make facilities and services accessible to the local community. These private recreational facilities
are conveniently located in neighborhoods to encourage local residents to walk to the facilities and to
serve their day-to-day recreational needs. Based on the current up-to-date development statistics for
the SPA One, the overall combined CPF acreage provided is as follows:
Village One
Village Five
V illage One West
Telegraph Canyon Estates
TOTAL
SPA
Population
8,830
7,877

CPF Acreage
Required Provided
12.3 10.6
10.9 12.5
3.6 0.5
1.4 0
28.2 23.6
It should be noted that while the addition of seven facilities to the CPF "inventory" for SPA One has
increased, there will still be a shortfall in acreage provided versus acreage required. The master
developer will be providing additional CPF acreage elsewhere in Otay Ranch to make up for this
shortfall. Attachment #1 identifies the CPF sites, which are described in more detail as follows:
Village One
CPF-l (Existing Day Care Center): Located in the Heritage Town Center mixed use area of the

4. Analysis
The proposed amendment to the Otay Ranch Sectional Planning Area (SPA) One Plan to revise the
Village One, Village One West and Village Five Site Utilization Plan Map and Zoning District Map
to modify the land use and zoning designation of seven (7) existing privately-owned and maintained
(HOA) recreation facilities from Open Space/Park (OS/P) to Community Purpose Facility (CPF)
complies with the Community Purpose Facility Ordinance, 19.48.025, ofthe Chula Vista Municipal
Code. The amendments satisfy a portion of the CPF requirement for SPA One. The pedestrian parks
comply with the findings required by the CPF section ofthe Code, in that the sites are not less than
0.5 usable acres in size (usable means level areas with a maximum slope of5: 1) and the recreational
facilities are compatible with the surrounding land uses. The facilities are generally located within
single-family residential areas and provide a neighborhood amenity for residents. The pedestrian
parks that are less than an acre in size contain the following recreational amenities:
a. One multi-purpose hard court;
b. Children's play area;
c. Community gathering place;
d. Level lawn area
The recreational facilities located on one-acre parcels or larger will contain all the amenities listed in
subsection (h) (3) plus one or more of the following sport court/fields:
e. Swimming pool
f. Full-size sport court/field.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes that the amendment to the Otay Ranch SPA One Plan for modifying the land use
designation and rezoning seven privately-owned and maintained sites in Villages One, One West and
Five are consistent with the recent amendments to the CPF Ordinance and maintain policy
consistency with the Otay Ranch GDP policies, and recommends approval of the amendments.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
~
Item No.:
Meeting Date: 06/08/05
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit PCC-05-043, proposal to allow
an adult educational facility located in an existing building at 2060 Otay
Lakes Road in the Eastlake Professional Plaza, Eastlake Commercial
District, P A, Professional and Administrative Zone.
The University of Phoenix proposes to occupy 12,000 sq. ft first floor space of the existing
building on Parcel B located within the Eastlake Commercial District to provide an educational
facility for a maximum of 110 students at one time on the campus.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the proposed project was
adequately covered in the previously certified Eastlake Trails/Greens Replanning Program Final
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR 97-04) and associated Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program. Thus, no further environmental review or documentation is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution
PCC-05-043, based on the findings and conditions contained therein to allow an educational
facility located at 2060 Otay Lakes Road.
DISCUSSION:
1. Proiect Background
The project is located along Otay Lakes Road, west of the proposed SR125, and approximately
l,500 feet west of the Village Center North shopping center. The site consists of four parcels,
Parcel A (4.34 acres), Parcel B (2.19 acres), Parcel C (2.15 acres), Parcel D (2.05 acres) for a
total of 20 acres. A 45,000 sq. ft. LA Fitness Center was approved on Parcel A, and a 36,000
sq. ft. medical office building was approved for Parcel B by the Design Review Committee on
January 12, 2004. The two other parcels (Parcels C and D) were also approved as graded pads
that would allow for the use of future office/commercial development. The future buildings on
Parcels C and D will be approved by the Design Review Committee. The University of Phoenix
will occupy 12,000 sq. ft of the first floor space of the medical office building on Parcel B, while
the other 6,000 sq. ft. of the first floor will be used for future tenants. The educational facility
requires a conditional use permit to be approved by the Planning Commission per the Eastlake
Commercial District, P A, Professional and Administrative Zone.
2. Site Characteristics
The site is located south of Otay Lakes Road, east of Otay Ranch Village 1 residential
subdivision and west of the proposed SR-125 (see Locator). The site is approximately 20 to 25
feet above Otay Lakes Road, and contains an approximate 120-foot SDG&E easement along the
site's eastern property line. The site is graded and partially improved with two buildings along
Otay Lakes Road, one of which the University of Phoenix will occupy.

4. Proposal
The University of Phoenix proposes an educational facility for college aged students 18 years
and older. The University offers undergraduate and advanced degrees to working adults in
business, nursing, and other fields. There will be a maximum of 110 students at one time on the
campus and seventeen employees. There will be five classrooms, a student resource center, study
rooms, student lounge, and administrative offices. The hours of operation will be Monday
through Friday 8:00 a.m. -10:30 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. The primary function on
Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. -5:30 p.m. will include general office and administrative
functions. Students will be attending scheduled classes from 5:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. on Saturday. Students will therefore be
attending classes after the normal business hours of the building during the week and on
Saturday. Parking for the LA Fitness Health Club is provided all on Parcel A. On Parcel B, there
are 144 shared parking spaces for all tenants in Parcel B. Per the tenant lease agreement, the
University of Phoenix will have an exclusive right to use a total of 110 parking spaces from 5 :30
p.m.-10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and up to 75 parking spaces from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00
p.m. on Saturday, since the other tenants will not be in operation during this time. Only the
Administrative Staff will be using the parking lot during the day with the other uses.
ANAL YSIS:
The University of Phoenix project is located in the Planned Community Professional and
Administrative (PC-P A) Zone, which is intended to provide an opportunity for commercial and
quasi-public uses such as an educational facility. The educational facility requires a conditional
use permit to be approved by the Planning Commission per the Eastlake Commercial District,
P A, Professional and Administrative Zone.
The site currently has only two tenants, LA Fitness and Premier Realty Office with future tenants
to be determined. The site is also proximate to Chula Vista Community Park, Eastlake High
School, and three shopping centers. Staff has determined that the project will not be a detriment
to the area because all access will be off of Otay Lakes Road, which is a major thoroughfare
designed to accommodate the volume of traffic. The proposed use is compatible with the existing
surrounding uses and will provide a desirable community service for the residences.
The lot has sufficient number of parking spaces provided for each tenant that will occupy these
buildings. A traffic study was conducted per the Planning Division request and not per CEQA
requirements to determine the adequacy of the on-site circulation, shared parking, signal and
Page 3, Item:

driveway approach off Otay Lakes Road (See Attachment 3). Based on the different types of
uses in the existing buildings, the trip generation has been decreased by approximately 800 daily
trips. So, therefore, it was found that no additional changes would have to be made and the
existing conditions were adequate for the traffic from the proposed use.
No existing changes will occur to the exterior of the building, which is visibly compatible with
the surrounding office buildings on the site.
CONCLUSION:

RESOLUTION NO. PCC 05-043
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA PLANNING
COMMISSION APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,
PCC-05-043, TO ALLOW AN ADUL T EDUCATIONAL
FACILITY LOCATED IN AN EXISTING BUILDING AT 2060
OT A Y LAKES ROAD IN THE EASTLAKE PROFESSIONAL
PLAZA, EASTLAKE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, PA,
PROFESSIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ZONE.
WHEREAS, a duly verified application for a conditional use permit was filed with the
City of Chula Vista Planning Department on March 11, 2005, by Harlon Lindholm on behalf of
the University of Phoenix; and
WHEREAS, said applicant requests permission to allow an educational facility located in
an existing building in the Eastlake Professional Plaza, Eastlake Commercial District, P A,
Professional and Administrative Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has determined that the
proposed project was adequately covered in the previously certified Eastlake Trails/Greens
Replanning Program Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR 97-04) and associated
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Thus, no further environmental review or
documentation is necessary;
WHEREAS, the Planning Director set the time and place for a hearing on said
Conditional Use Permit and notice of said hearing, together with its purpose, was given by its
publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city and its mailing to property owners
and residents 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 June 8,
2005, at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers, 276 Fourth Avenue, before the Planning Commission
and said hearing was thereafter closed; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby make the findings required by the City's rules and regulations for the
issuance of conditional use permits, as herein below set forth, and describes, thereunder, the
evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to be made.
1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a service
or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
The requested uses will take place within an existing office building and associated
parking lot surrounded by commercial, residential, and school uses. This proposal will
provide additional educational services to the citizens in the community. Such services
benefit the citizens of Chula Vista both economically and socially (increased income,
lower crime, less dependence on social programs, etc.).
2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental
to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity
or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The proposal will not adversely impact the existing uses currently in the Eastlake
Professional Plaza, Eastlake Commercial District, P A, Professional and Administrative
Zone or any of the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The classes will be held in the
evening and weekend hours not to conflict with the other tenants. The parking spaces
provided are adequate for the proposed use. Access is only from Otay Lakes Road and a
traffic study determined that no additional changes would have to be made and the
existing conditions were adequate for the traffic from the proposed use.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
the code for such use.
The conditional approval of PCC-05-043 requires compliance with all conditions, codes
and regulations, as applicable, prior to the final issuance of any permit for or occupancy
of any building on the property.
The Planning Commission finds that the request meets the code requirements as follows:
(A) The Eastlake Commercial District, P A, Professional and Administrative Zone
defines an educational facility as a public and semi-public use that requires a
conditional use permit to be approved by the Planning Commission.
(B) The parking spaces provided are adequate for the proposed uses.
(C) The proposed use does not go above the allowed threshold per the traffic study to
warrant any changes.
(D) No existing changes will occur to the exterior of the building, which is visibly
compatible with the surrounding office and commercial buildings on the site.
4. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The Project will increase the educational opportunities for citizens in the community and
conforms to all elements of the General Plan and other adopted plans affecting the Project
Site. Furthermore, the Project is proposed to be operated on an already developed site,
with easy access to public facilities (water, sewer, public roadways etc).

Re: University ofPhoenix/LA Fitness and Professional !Medical Office Access Study (project
No. 283-001)
Dear Mr. Matula:
As per your request we have revised our traffic study to reflect the City of Chula Vista
comments/revisions outlined in the May 6th, 2005 letter requesting modifications to trip generation,
additional discussion related to overall ADT for the parcel and shared parking analysis for the
proposed ProfessionallMedical Office and associated adjacent development in the City of Chula
Vista.
The proposed project site consists of a 36,000 square foot professional/medical office building, a
University of Phoenix facility (in the same building) and an adjacent 45,000 square foot LA Fitness
Center in a separate building. Figure 1 shows the vicinity of the project site. The proposed project is
located south of Otay Lakes Road, between the project main access road (east of Saint Claire Drive)
and the future SR-125 SB Ramps. Figure 2 shows the proposed project site location.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine the adequacy of on-site circulation, vehicle storage and
shared parking related to the mixed-use nature of the land uses on the site. In particular, the City has
required the applicant to investigate potential queuing at the new signalized intersection of Otay
Lakes Road and the site access road. Both the University of Phoenix and the LA Fitness Center have
an inbound component of traffic in the p.m. peak hour, which is directly opposite that of the
medical/professional office and could potentially create queuing concerns for westbound vehicles
entering the project site.
Otay Lakes Road Access Study
The study intersection of Otay Lakes RoadlProject Access Road is located to the west of the future
SR-125 SB Ramps. The access is provided to the project via the south leg of the Otay Lakes
RoadlProject Access Road intersection. Otay Lakes Road in the vicinity of the project is a six-lane
roadway with three lanes in each direction. Two exclusive 200-foot westbound left-turn lanes are
provided at the study intersection for ingress to the project site. The northbound approach consists of
one left turn lane and one right turn lane each with approximately 100 feet of storage, in each lane.
The intersection is currently signalized with protected left-turn phasing westbound.

The study intersection was analyzed using the methodologies described in Chapter 16 of Highway
Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM) contained by the software Synchro 5.0. The traffic volumes along
0tay Lakes Road used in the traffic analysis were provided by the City of Chula Vista and are from
the Draft 2010 traffic model with Proposed General Plan Land Uses. The heaviest traffic movement
is eastbound carrying 1,744 vehicles during the p.m. peak hour. The westbound p.m. peak hour traffic
volume is 1,212 vehicles.
The proposed development consists of a 36,000 square foot professionaVmedical building of which
12,000 square feet will be occupied by the University of Phoenix on the ground floor and a 45,000
square foot LA Fitness Center (Health Club) located in the adjacent building. It is important to note
that the 36,000 square foot professionaVmedical building was originally approved as a medical
building potentially generating 1800 ADT (50 trips/lOOOsf). The building, as it is currently planned,
has approximately 10,000 square feet of medical office, approximately 14,000 square feet of
professional office and approximately 12,000 square feet for the University of Phoenix. Based on the
new mixed-use nature of the building, the trip generation for the building has been decreased by
approximately 800 daily trips. The proposed project with mixed-land use is expected to generate
3,713 daily trips and 472 trips during p.m. peak hour. The proposed project trips were obtained using
San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG) Trip Generation Rates for the medical office,
professional office and site-specific information obtained from the applicant for the University of
Phoenix and LA Fitness Center. Table I summarizes the proposed project trip generation.

TOTAL 3.713 299 174 473
Notes:
[1J The PM peak trip rates are based on San Diego Association of Governments [SANDA G) Brief Guide of vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002. Estimated weekday trip generation rate is 50 vehicles per thousand
square feet and the PM peak hour traffic is 11 percent of total daily trips with a 30% inbound and 70% outbound directional split.
[2J The PM peak trip rates are based on San Diego Association of Governments (SANDA G) Brief Guide of vehicular Traffic
Generation Rates for the San Diego Region, April 2002. Estimated weekday trip generation rate is 20 vehicles per thousand
square feet and the PM peak hour traffic is 13 percent of total daily trips with a 20% inbound and 80% outbound directional split.
[3J The PM peak trip rates are based on the information provided by The University of Phoenix, written statement for Conditional
Use Permit. To be conservative al/ the trips generated scheduled to anive between 5:30 - 10:30 p.m. are assumed to enter the
facility during the p.m. peak hour.
[4J Source: Devonshire/Resada Shopping Center Traffic Study. The health club p.m. peak hour trip generation rate of 6.01 trips
per thousand square feet of building floor area was derived from surveys conducted at two similar Los Angeles area health clubs.
A p.m. peak hour distributional split of 61% inbound and 39% outbound was based on data provided in the ITE Trip Generation
Manual. The daily trips were derived by the assumption that the total p.m. peak hour traffic volume represents 10 percent of the
daily traffic volume.
It is important to note that proposed trip generation 00,713 daily trips is approximately 50% of the
previously approved 7,410 trips as part of the Eastlake Trails/Greens Replanning Program Final
Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR# 97-04) for the development of the overall site.

Therefore, the remaining 3,697 trips should be adequate for future development of the remainder of
the site. Additionally, it is also important to note, that for the purposes of analysis of the p.m. peak
hour, the trip generation for the proposed project is considered conservative since all of the 110
students/faculty for the University of Phoenix were assumed to arrive during the p.m. peak hour.
The proposed project trip distribution assumptions were developed based on existing travel patterns,
knowledge of the study area and potential future patronage for the proposed mixed land use. The
project trips were assigned to the study area and the study intersection using these assumptions.
In the year 2010, during the p.m. peak hour, the project only trips assigned at the study intersection
are as follows:
· 120 eastbound right-turning vehicles
· 179 westbound left-turning vehicles
· 70 northbound left-turning vehicles
· 104 northbound right-turning vehicles
In summary, 299 vehicles are entering and 174 vehicles are leaving the proposed project site during
the p.m. peak hour. The proposed project site plan is shown in Figure 3.
These trips were added to the Year 2010 volumes to obtain the levels of service. The study
intersection is expected to operate at LOS A with 8.5 seconds delay during the p.m. peak hour with
the added trips. The levels of service for the Year 2010 plus Proposed Project Conditions scenario are
summarized as shown in Table II.

A Synchro 5.0 analysis shows a queue length of three vehicles for the northbound left-turn movement
leaving the site (approximately 75 feet) and three vehicles (approximately 75 feet) for each of the
westbound left-turn lanes entering the site during the p.m. peak hour. The proposed lengths ofleft-
turn bays in northbound and westbound direction are adequate to handle the queuing. Intersection
levels of service/queuing worksheets are attached.
An evaluation of the proposed site plan, including site access, circulation and shared parking was
performed. The proposed site plan, with the mixed land use of medical, professional and educational
uses, which has been reduced by approximately 800 trips from the previously approved medical
office only project, provides adequate site access and circulation to meet project traffic demand. The
main access driveway on Otay Lakes Road will provide sufficient capacity for the on-site circulation,
and has adequate capacity to handle the project traffic volumes. The signalized intersection will
operate at LOS A with the project and sufficient storage for queuing vehicles for ingress and egress to
the project site is provided.

Additionally, wherever a mixture of land uses is located on a single site, it is an accepted practice to
utilize the concept of "shared parking" to determine the appropriate parking requirement. As is the
case with the office and educational land uses, different land uses have peak parking demand at
different times. Therefore, a mixed-use development of office/educational development is less than
the sum of the parking requirement for the previously approved individual land use of medical office
only. Statistics show that parking demand for office or medical office are reduced by 50% or more
after 5 p.m. Sufficient spaces are already provided to accommodate the University of Phoenix
students/faculty, however, based on the shared parking concept, additional parking will be available
for the University of Phoenix due to the reduction in demand for parking after 5 p.m.
Based on the queuing and LOS results it can be concluded that the intersection will operate
acceptably with the current lane configuration.
Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions. Thanks for providing us the opportunity
to conduct this traffic study.
Sincerely,

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item: .3
Meeting Date: 06/08/2005
ITEM TITLE:
Public Hearing: PCC-05-021; Request for a Conditional Use Pennit to
allow Bonita Country Day School to continue to operate a private non-
profit elementary school for an interim period of five years at 625 Otay
Lakes Road in the Bonita Long Canyon Planned Community, Public
Quasi Zone.
Resolution recommending that the City Council approve Conditional Use
Pennit, PCC-05-021, to allow Bonita Country Day School to continue to
operate a private non-profit elementary school for an interim period of
five years at 625 Otay Lakes Road.
The Bonita Country Day School proposes to renew their expired conditional use pennit,
PCC-94-48, to continue to allow the private non-profit elementary school for 140
pre-kindergarten through six graders for an interim period of five years at 625 Otay Lakes Road,
Bonita Long Canyon Planned Community. The school has been operating on this site for ten
years as a co-use of this property with the Risen Savior Lutheran Church.
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has detennined that the project qualifies
for a Class 1, categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301, (Existing Facilities), of the State
CEQA guidelines and no further environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution
PCC-05-021, recommending that the City Council approve the use of the Bonita Country Day
School to continue to operate a private non-profit elementary school for an interim period of five
years at 625 Otay Lakes Road based on the findings and conditions contained herein.
DISCUSSION:
1. Proiect Background
The school was originally approved by Conditional Use Pennit PCC-94-48, which was
considered by the Planning Commission on August 10, 1994, and approved by the City Council
on August 23, 1994. That use pennit allowed a private non-profit elementary school for an
interim period of five years. Before the five years elapsed on August 23, 1999, the school
planned to relocate to a pennanent site in eastern Chula Vista and allow the Savior Lutheran
Church to occupy the entire site. The approved church master plan shows this area as Phase II,
which will eventually be developed with a 5,40 sq. ft. fellowship hall, a 2,400 sq. ft. parsonage,
two 2,600 sq. ft. classroom building (180 seats) and associated playground area, as well as 73
additional parking spaces to bring the total parking to 130 spaces. Through an oversight the
school failed to file for an extension and PCC-94-48 has expired. The school has been there for
over 10 years with no complaints from adjacent property owners.
Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 06/08/05
The school is currently in negations with Trimark Pacific Homes to purchase approximately 5.1
acres ofland with a 1,500 square foot building in the San Miguel Ranch area to be the permanent
site for Bonita Country Day School. It will be approximately two years before Bonita Country
Day School can begin construction on the new property. Therefore, the school is requesting an
additional five years at their current location. At the end of the five years, all structures would be
removed leaving the church to proceed with its Phase II construction of permanent classroom
buildings, fellowship hall, etc.
2. Site Characteristics
The 4.1 acre site currently contains a 4,300 sq. ft. sanctuary structure and associated parking for
the Risen Savior Lutheran Church. The sanctuary structure is located on the southerly portion of
the property, and a 57-space parking area parallels Otay Lakes Road along the entire frontage of
the property. The northern portion of the site contains nine modular buildings of 960 sq. ft each
for four classroom buildings, a multi-purpose building, and an administrative office for the
Bonita Country Day School. In addition, there is a playground facility between the buildings and
the parking lot for the children. This property is located within the Bonita Long Canyon Planned
Community, Public Quasi Zone.

4. Proposal
The request is to allow Bonita Country Day School to continue to operate, for an interim period
of five years, a private non-profit elementary school for up to 140 students, ages pre-kindergarten
through sixth grade. School hours would be ITom 8:00 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. for Grades 1-6 and
8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. for kindergarten and preschool, Monday through Friday, with extended
childcare hours for the students offered ITom 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. The school employs ten full-time teachers, three part-time teachers, and
three full-time administrative staff.
The northern portion of the site contains nine modular buildings of 960 sq. ft each for four
classroom buildings, a multi-purpose building, and an administrative office for the Bonita
Country Day School. In addition, there is a fully enclosed playground facility between the
buildings and the parking lot for the children. The outdoor playground area is used on a rotated
basis in order to separate the older children form the younger ones. Also a covered lunch area is
located in between the modular buildings.
Page 3, Item:
Meeting Date: 06/08/05
A total of 57 parking spaces serve the school during the week and the church during the evenings
and on weekends. The hours of operation for the school would be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
(including extended childcare). The church hours would be evenings and on Sundays. The
alternate times of operation would provide for a co-use of the multi-purpose facility, playground
and parking spaces.
ANALYSIS:
The Chula Vista Municipal Code defines a school as an unclassified use as a quasi-public use.
Many unclassified uses can be considered for location in any zone upon approval of a
conditional use permit by the City Council following recommendation by the Planning
Commission.
The proposed use has not interfered with the surrounding uses, since most of these uses are
compatible with the school, or are the same use as the school. For example, Bonita Vista Junior
High is located to the west, condominiums to the north, open space to the south, and open space
and single family residential to the east. The site is also near two other schools, Bonita Vista
High School and Southwestern College both to the south.
The modular buildings are arranged in a semi-circular configuration on the northerly portion of
the site, facing an outdoor lunch and playground area to the south. This is to help prevent any
noise or disturbance for the condominium units to the north. Landscaping is also installed along
Otay Lakes Road and around the playground area to buffer the noise from the single family
residents to the east. The lot has sufficient size to accommodate the proposed uses as well as
outdoor activities for the children. No changes will occur to the site.
It should be noted that the applicant is in negations with Trimark Pacific Homes to purchase
approximately 5.1 acres ofland with a 1,500 square foot building in the San Miguel Ranch area
to be the permanent site for Bonita Country Day School. It will be approximately two year
before Bonita Country Day School will begin construction on the new property. At the end of the
interim period of five years, all structures would be removed leaving the church to proceed with
its Phase II construction of permanent classroom buildings, fellowship hall, etc.
This project is consistent with the General Plan and the Bonita Long Canyon Planned
Community, Public Quasi Zone. Approval of the project requires compliance with the applicable
codes and regulations.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends adoption of the attached Resolution PCC-05-021, recommending that the City
Council allow the Bonita Country Day School to continue to operate a private non-profit
elementary school for an interim period of five years at 625 Otay Lakes Road based on the
findings and conditions contained herein.

required by the City's rules and regulations for the issuance of conditional use permits, as herein
below set forth, and describes, thereunder, the evidentiary basis that permits the stated finding to
be made.
1. That the proposed use at this location is necessary or desirable to provide a service
or facility which will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or the
community.
The interim use of this site will allow the school to continue to offer an educational
alternative and service to the community pending the location of appropriate permanent
facilities.
2. That such use will not under the circumstances of the particular case be detrimental
to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity
or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity.
The site layout has been designed and conditioned to avoid potential noise impacts to
nearby residents, and architectural enhancements and landscape screening have been
utilized and demonstrated the ability to diminish any potential negative aesthetic impacts
considering the interim nature of the use.
3. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in
the code for such use.
The conditional approval of PCC-05-021 requires compliance with all conditions, codes
and regulations, as applicable.
The City Council finds that the request meets the code requirements as follows:
(A) The Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 19.54.020(d) defines a school as an
unclassified use.
(B) The parking spaces provided are adequate for the proposed uses.
(C) There is adequate drop off area for the school.
(D) The lot has sufficient size to accommodate the proposed use as well as outdoor
activities for the children.
(E) There is adequate on-site play area outside of the building for the school.
(F) No existing changes will occur on the site, which is visibly compatible with the
surrounding church and school to the south and west of the subject site.
4. That the granting of this Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect the
General Plan of the City or the adopted plan of any government agency.
The Project will increase the educational opportunities for the children in the community
and conforms to all elements of the General Plan and other adopted plans affecting the
Project Site. Furthermore, the Project is proposed to be operated on an already developed
site, with easy access to public facilities (water, sewer, public roadways etc).

Briefing on GMOC Growth Management Program "Top to Bottom"
Recommendations
To:
Via:
From:
On June 8, 2005, I will provide the Planning Commission with an infonnational presentation on the
currently proposed changes to the City's growth management program. You may recall that in April
2003 the City Council directed that a "Top to Bottom" review be conducted of the City's growth
management program. That review effort has been ongoing over the last 2 years.
At the upcoming GMOC Joint Workshop with the City Council and the Planning Commission on
June 23, 2005, the GMOC will be presenting a set of recommended changes. These
recommendations are a product of input from outside consultants, city staff, and the GMOC. It is
requested that these recommendations be accepted in principle in order to guide the redrafting ofthe
growth management ordinance and program document. That redrafting will occur over the next few
months.
The presentation to the Planning Commission on June 8 is intended to provide a preview of these
changes and to address any questions the Planning Commission may have. Note, you are not being
requested for an action on the recommended changes at this time, that recommendation will be
requested at the Joint Workshop.
The section of the GMOC annual report that discusses the proposed growth management program
changes is attached. I can be reached at 476-5348 should you have any questions prior to the
meeting.

4.0 RECOMMENDED GROWTH MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM CHANGES
4.1 Background
As a component of the Growth Management Progr
of responsibilities, among these include:
· Whether any new threshold should be ado te
goal.
· Review and make any appropriate reco
achieving the enforcement outlined.
C is tasked with a number
g the means of
Consistent with the points above, the focus of the GMOC has been the thresholds and the
means of achieving their enforcement, or what is termed "Implementation Measures".
These two aspects, thresholds and implementing measures, are key to how the growth
management program works, particularly at the GMOC level. The thresholds are
reasonably well understood as a set benchmarks for a service or facility with a monitoring
function to measures how growth may degrade this over time. The second part is, if the
benchmark level drops below the acceptable set level what is done about it? This is
embodied in the "implementing measures". Naturally, it is critical to view these two
factors in tandem, as it is the implementing measure that is really what directs the nature
and extent of public sector response to a threshold failure.
The following recommendations for changes in the City's growth management program
have been endorsed by the GMOC. These recommendations are being presented as an
opportunity for Council to provide guidance on direction. Council is being requested to
approve the recommendations in principle
While listing a set of recommendations and requesting Council's acceptance, the actual
specific language that will become the updated thresholds and implementation measures
will be brought forward by City staff in the form of an updated growth management
ordinance and Program Document. It is intended that the recommendations contained
herein will in some cases provide specific language and in other guidelines to follow.
Both the ordinance and Program Document will be reviewed and commented upon by the
GMOC prior to being submitted to Council.
GMOC Annual Report
May 2005
4.2 Overall Changes - Implementation Measures
4.2.1 Use of Moratorium
The current Growth Management Program document has a provision that if there is a
threshold failure for Police, Fire, Traffic, and Parks ( er 3 years), "the City Council
shall schedule and hold a public hearing for the p s 0 opting a moratorium on the
acceptance of new tentative map applications."
Recommendation: This is recommended to b
4.2.2
Further, the moratorium w be pI
Building permits are mo applica
approved tentative map an(\)or
would have no effective r ult.
Statement of Concern
Currently, when a threshold fails r i ere is a "serious problem" regarding a threshold
that is the responsibility of an outs. agency a "Statement of Concern" is issued by the
GMOC. Once issued the City Council is required to consider the adoption of a resolution
reflecting that concern to be directed to the responsible public agency. This applies to
water, air quality, schools, and sewer.
Recommendation: There are two recommended changes. The "serious problem" is
changed to just "problem" and that once a "Statement of Concern" is issued, the GMOC
may make specific recommendations to the City Council regarding what actions the City
may take to assist in resolving this problem. The specific requirement to issue a
resolution to the "responsible public agency" is recommended to be removed, although
this can still be a recommendation. This sets a better interagency tone, as it focuses
attention on what it is the City can do. As such this approach builds a more constructive
relationship.
In addition, it is recommended that the termlheading "Statement of Concern" be used in
application to all thresholds, if there are issues or concerns that the GMOC wishes to
bring to the Council's attention. This reflects what already occurs in practice and
remains an important outlet for the GMOC. Note, the range of what can be expressed in
a "Statement of Concern" can be defined. Currently, the GMOC review process is
supposed to coincide with the CIP program so that GMOC recommendations can be
considered in the capital budget process. In a few instances there may be more
programmatic kinds of impacts when terms like "adequately staffed", as is currently in
place, may lead to a comment. A "Statement of Concern" may also advise use of a
permit metering system when a threshold is anticipated to fail given development trends
so as to avoid the need to consider a moratorium.

4.2.3 Use of Master (and or Strategic/Specific) Plans
Master Plans exist or are being developed for Police, Fire, Parks and Recreation, Library,
Sewer, and Drainage.
Recommendation: While these documents are not part of the threshold, they (or their
update), are recommended to be called upon to provide the definition of key terms (like
what is adequately equipped and staffed for libraries) so that there is no ambiguity and
the GMOC has clear guidance. It is preferable that th MOC does not feel obliged to
come up with their own definitions.
Of particular note, these plans and their imp Ierne ati

4.3 Threshold And Implementation Measure Specific Changes
4.3.1 No Significant Changes: Air Quality, Water, Sewer, Drainage, Fiscal
Editing may be required for clarity and updating but the essence of the threshold will
remain unchanged.
4.3.2 Fire and Emergency Medical Services
Recommendation: That the Threshold be more clearly defined for growth
management purposes as arriving at the building address which has been the current and
historic practice. This is inserted to deal with the issue if response time ends when you
are at the curb or at the door. This will become more pertinent as additional mid and
high-rise residential structures are added to the city, as it will take additional time to
reach the door, say on the 11th floor. This effectively keeps the growth management
response time threshold consistent.
Recommendation: A multi-step implementation measure is prescribed.
1. If the plan is not being implemented per schedule but the threshold is
met, no action is required.
2. If the threshold fails but the Master Plan is being implemented on
schedule, then it is a management and not a growth issue.

3. If the threshold fails due to growth related issues and the plan is not
being implemented per schedule, then there is the consideration of a
moratorium as is currently the case.
Note: the Fire-EMS Master Plan may have a response time standard that is shorter than
the growth management standard. But, it will remain the growth management standard
which sets the benchmark that should not be lowered due to growth impacts. It is the
GMOC's position that the updated Fire Master Plan r ponse time threshold will be a
goal set for design purposes. The growth managemen s ard is meant to represent a
minimum level of service and is not being change .
Recommendation: is eco d
"Statement of Concern" i iss d her t e MOC can offer suggestions on how to
correct the problem and not ec sa .ly ons der a moratorium, which is viewed as an
extreme measure for a Priority fa! ure. addition, the GMOC is in agreement that the
quality of service provided on t sc shares a place with response time as being an
important quality of life measure. ay to adequately measure this quality of service in
a growth management context remains elusive. However, the GMOC may request
qualitative measures of Priority 2 service as a possible balance for not meeting the
response time standard.

4.3.4 Traffic
Two major changes.
Recommendation: If the GMOC determines that the traffic threshold will/may fail
within 3 years a "Statement of Concern" is issued. Currently, the GMOC has no formal
voice to address a forecasted failure. This provides a critical signaling mechanism to
Council so that, if they choose, Council can consider whether to impose growth
moderating mechanisms such as a permit metering system.
Recommendation: Given the distinct nature of urban or urbanizing areas it is
appropriate that there be a traffic threshold level of service designated for an "urban street
level of service". While the GMOC has not endorsed a specific level of service proposal
the justification for such a "dual" system is recognized.
4.3.5 Parks and Recreation
Recommendation: The significant change is to create a city-wide parks threshold
based on the 3 acres per 1,000 standard for additional growth both east and west. If
assembling 3 acres per 1,000 proves impractical an in lieu fee based on the value of the

land can be applied at City discretion. Those fees will be used to purchase parkland and
facilities as identified in the updated Parks Master Plan.
Recommendation: The Parks and Recreation threshold already indicates that
"appropriate facilities" will be provided, it is recommended that added to this will be that
facilities are adequately staffed (consistent with the Library threshold) with appropriate
hours of operation. The GMOC believes that having a facility does not necessarily meet
the threshold unless it is open to service the communi . Appropriate facilities will be
defined in the updated Park and Recreation Master Pat fing and hours of operation
can be presented to the GMOC in an annual re rt outh es staffing and operating
hours by facility, indicating changes from last y ar, t e s plan, with comment on
how this provides adequate service. A separate I lem ion asure for these items
is proposed to be a "Statement of Concern" and .1. co ora lang ge so that this part
of the threshold will be recognized as being tentia bj t to e fluctuations based
on a number of criteria.

Recommendation: T Ii ary hre
staffed". It is proposed tha "WI a ro i e urs of operation" be added for the same
reason it is being proposed t be d d t the Parks and Recreation threshold. Staffing
and hours of operation can be resente 0 the GMOC in an annual report that outlines
staffing and operating hours by li a ndicating changes from last year, next years plan,
with comment on how this provides dequate service.
The Implementation Measure is split between the square footage requirement and the
equipment, staffing and hours of operation concern. For the latter, as with Parks and
Recreation, a separate Implementation Measure for these items is proposed to be a
"Statement of Concern" and will incorporate language so that this part of the threshold
will be recognized as being potentially subject to wide fluctuations based on a number of
criteria.
4.3.7 Schools
Recommendation: The school's threshold is recommended to be changed so that it
specifically indicates that "accommodation" refers to the physical facilities not programs.
It also allows for the analysis of sub-areas, to specifically consider the situation in the
east as opposed to the west. This may have implications for differentiating financing
schemes, the impacts of differing generation rates, and the adoption of non-traditional
building footprints.
The Implementation Measure will remain a Statement of Concern, but the focus, as
referenced earlier, will be that the GMOC will recommend or suggest through the City
Council ways that the City may assist the school district in addressing the identified
problem.

4.4 Organization
The basic structure and organization of the GMOC as referenced in the current "Program
Document" is recommended to remain largely as is with edits to reflect the changes
approach that have evolved over time.
One procedural change is recommended. It is recognized that the Planning Commission
has an important role in understanding the growth management program and how this
may influence their recommendations to Council 0 yarious approvals. Having a
representative from the Planning Commission on t G emains an essential aspect
of our membership and greatly assists in inter c m n c unication. Further, the
Planning Commission should remain as a particip nt n ye ly GMOC, Council, and
Planning Commission annual report workshop.
Second, currently when a morat urn is imposed it is directed at tentative maps.
Tentative maps are acted upon by the Planning Commission so that in this case a GMOC
recommendation would potentially influence a Planning Commission function and should
legitimately be reviewed by them for their "action". However, the use of a moratorium is
now being recommended to be shifted to building permits which are not subject to
Planning Commission review.
