At the request of Otay Project, L.P., the final map was not presented for City Council approval. Otay Project, L.P. is now requesting a refund of said fees. ENVIRONMENT AL REVIEW The Envirorunental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 (b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION In Fiscal Year 2007/2008 (September 10, 2007), Otay Project, L.P. deposited $1,193,670 in the Otay Ranch Village 2 Neighborhoods Park Fund account to satisfy Tentative Map Condition No. 95 which states that "Prior to approval of each Final "B" Map, or prior to issuance of building permits for residential units not requiring the filing of a Final "B" Map, the Applicant shall pay 3-1 10/07/08 Item~ Page 2 of 2 all applicable parkland acquisition and development fees (PAD Fees) to the City in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 17.10." The Final "8" Map for Otay Ranch Village 2 North Unit I was scheduled for City Council consideration and approval on September 18,2007. Per Otay Project, L.P.'s request, the item was removed from Council Agenda that same day due to financial reasons. It is anticipated that Otay Project, L.P. will bring this map for Council approval in the spring of 2009, at the earliest. However, until then, it has been requested that the City refund their PAD Fees. Otay Project, L.P. understands and is aware that they must pay the current applicable PAD fees (including applicable fee increases) at the time the map is scheduled for Council consideration. This resolution will amend the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Otay Ranch Village 2 Neighborhood Parks budget and appropriate $1,193,670 from the available PAD fund balance to process the refund to Otay Project, L.P. for P AD Fees associated with Village 2 North Unit I. 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, which is the subject of this action. FISCAL IMPACT The refund of PAD fees to Otay Project, L.P. will have no impact to the General Fund as this is a reimbursement and sufficient monies are available in the PAD fund balance.
